श्री शिवमहापुराणम्: The Shiva Purana (Set of 2 Volumes)
by डॉ. पुष्पेन्द्र कुमार (Dr. Pushpendra Kumar)
The last great authority in matters of religion is the Puranic literature which forms the basis of popular Hinduism. All these treatises are supposed to be the works of Vyasa according to orthodox but popular view. The word Purana, as it occurs in the Upanisads, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, means legends of our Kings and Sages. The present Puranas, like the Mahabharata, aim at incorporating everything in their texts to make them all comprehensive and encyclopaedic in nature. The anxiety of these writers to make their texts all inclusive would be evident from the definition of Puranas for originally it was described as consisting of five topics-puranam panca-Iaksanam; but later on the list was enhanced to ten characteristics to be added to the Purana definition.
According to the Brahmanical traditions, as recorded in the Atharvaveda and the Brhadaranyaka Upanisad, Purana has as much a sacred origin as the Vedas themselves. The Atharvaveda says (XI/7/24 and XV/6/4) that the Vedas and the Puranas originated from the sacrifice and the latter ascribes the origin of the Vedas and Puranas to the birth of Mahad-bhuta. These traditions are unanimous in recognising the sacredness of the Purana literature. In the later Vedic literature Purana is even called the fifth Veda (Chandogya Upanisad (VII/l/4). Though these references by the use of the word Purana in singular show that there must have been one Purana text only, yet it can hardly be derived that more than one Purana had not come into existence before the beginning of the Christian era. In the Taittiriya Aranyaka, Manusmrti and Yajnavalkyasmrti we find the use of the word 'Puranani', The, Mahabharata speaks of a Purana proclaimed by Vayu, and the Apastamba Dharmasutra has a passage quoted from Bhavisya Purana.
It is evident that the Purana as a branch of literature existed even before the beginning of the Christian era bearing the character attributed to it. But this is not advisable to hold that the present Puranas are the works referred to in the Satapatha Brahmana, the Upanisads and the Sutra literature. Till the compilation of the Mahabharata, the Puranas in their present form were not available. Thus these may be the recast of older texts or enlarged editions incorporating the philosophy, practices, Brahmanical religious-sects and the social reforms carried out from time to time in the Indian society, but had not changed their essential character.
The Puranas are like the Bible for the common people of India, and Puranic discources in the temples are popular even now. They occupy a unique position in the sacred and secular literature of the Hindus. These afford us a far greater insight into all aspects and phases of Hinduism and are useful for a historical study of the Indian society as well as for comparative studies in the fields of religion, philosophy, mythology and tradition. They may be described as popular encyclopaedias of ancient and mediaval Hinduism. We get a complete picture of the mind, heart, spirit and body of India from an intelligent and comprehensive study of the Puranas.
These Puranas are a type of mythico historical Iiterature which has for many centuries played a unique role in the development of the Indian society and culture. They are now accepted as one of the important sources of Indian history. They occupy an intermediate position between the Vedic age and the period of classical literature. They have been influencing the life of the Indian masses through the centuries and are valuable as supplying the material for the study of such diverse subjects as religion and philosophy, folklore and ethnology, literature and science, history and geography, and politics and sociology.
By culture we mean the entire stock of intellectual and artistic achievement of the people. This includes also civilization with its concrete attainments. The purpose of the Puranas including the Itihasa, is to present entire culture and civilization of an ancient people-in contrast to the new lines of thought and life being introduced from time to time in the country. These new lines of thought and life were known to the people from the sermons of priests and the edicts of the kings, and the poets of the Puranas presented this culture and civilization into the metrical composition. The Mahapuranas in content contain about five lakh verses, and it is very arduous to examine, index, translate and study this enormous mass of literature. According to the Hindus, a student should He grateful that the gods had transmitted this literature for the benefit of mankind.
The theology and cosmogony of these books are largely drawn from earlier writings; the doctrines which they teach, the institutions they describe, and a part of the legends they relate-belong to a period v.v. prior to their own compilations and redactions. This literature claims to teach mythology and cosmogony, geography and astronomy, chronology and grammar and sometimes even anatomy and medicine, as well as to give the geneologies of the kings. These were designed popularly to teach the Vedic doctrines to women-folk and the lower strata of the society, who cannot understand or approach the more complicated works; as such these were called the fifth Veda (itihasa-puranabhyam vedartham upabrmhayet).
It is true that, as far as chronology and direct history is concerned, the Puranas are of little value, but their myths and legends form correct pictures of the time to which they belong. They give us a view of the mythology and religion of the people and, indirectly, reveal much of their true history. Probably these were the traditional tales of the poets, who were eulogists as well as historians of the ruling families. With the geneologies many myths were blended and this material was woven in a connected form by later writers. To mythology also systems of cosmogony, geography, philosophy, and astronomy, were added. After this, the contending sects were added to these-as also a mass of fiction glorifying either Krsna or Siva or any other, favourite deity. The Puranas are the work of different generations and varied circumstances. Mythology of the Puranas is much more developed than in the Mahabharata.
They teach pantheism and penance, self-mortification and self-indulgence, and virtue, and love of God. They also advocate monotheism and, at time, set aside all gods other than the favourite one. The Hindu theist claims that there is but one God -one Being in the millions of forms. Hence he asserts that, whenever anyone of the various deities of the Hindu pantheon is propiciated-by means of sacrifice, oblations, yoga or worship-it is the supreme Lord who is gratified.
Generally speaking: the Puranas came into prominence in the early centuries of the Christian era; but their recasts and developments came to a close about the tenth century. Thus, this literature is very important from the viewpoint of the religion, history, socio- logy of India during the first millennium of the Christian era.

Sunday, March 1st, 2009
It was nearly two years ago that a mentally disturbed student used a firearm to murder 32 people at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia and then committed suicide.
While this tragedy was used by gun control advocates as an occasion to promote additional restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms in the Commonwealth of Virginia and elsewhere, CCRKBA pointed out that it was a Virginia Tech policy which was at fault and which may in fact have facilitated the violent rampage of the mass murderer.
CCRKBA noted that while Virginia law allows individuals with state issued permits to carry concealed firearms, the administration of Virginia Tech prohibits both faculty and students from carrying firearms on campus even if they have CCW permits.
In effect, then, the Virginia Tech policy actually prevented any professors or students with CCW permits from interrupting or stopping the April 16, 2007 rampage.
Since that time, there has been much discussion of the policy of Virginia Tech and other institutions of higher learning in Virginia and throughout the country.
One of the people who is trying to do something about the situation in Virginia is Delegate Robert Marshall, the CCRKBA Gun Rights Defender of the Month for March.
In nominating Marshall for the Award, John M. Snyder, CCRKBA Public Affairs Director, said that, "Bob recently introduced legislation in the Virginia House of Delegates to allow faculty members at institutions of higher education in Virginia with CCW permits to carry on campus. Because of this, and because he has been a staunch defender of gun rights throughout his public life, he certainly is most deserving of this distinction."
The bill, HB 1656, would provide that, notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, no board of visitors or other governing body of a public institution of higher education shall adopt or enforce any rule, regulation or policy, and no appointee, employee, or agent of the institution shall take any administrative action governing the carrying of a concealed handgun on the property of or in buildings owned by the institution by a full time faculty member of the institution who possesses a valid concealed handgun permit.
The bill also would provide that any rule, regulation or policy adopted by a board of visitors or governing body of a state institution of higher education prior to July 1, 2009, that would prohibit a full time faculty member of the institution who possesses a valid Virginia concealed handgun permit from carrying a concealed handgun on the property of or in the buildings owned by the institution is invalid.
The bill has been referred to the Committee on Militia, Police and Public Safety.
"One of the most important freedoms Americans have is the right to protect themselves from unlawful aggressors," says Marshall. "This freedom is so important that our founding fathers saw it necessary to declare it our Second Amendment right, just after freedom of speech, assembly and religion. I strongly support the right of competent, law-abiding citizens to own and possess arms to defend themselves, to hunt or to pursue sporting interests. The freedom to own and bear arms for self defense or to defend another from an unjust aggressor is a natural right."
Marshall was born in Tacoma Park, Maryland on May 3, 1944. He is married to Catherine Ann Fonseca. He is the father of Teresa Marie, Christopher Gerard (deceased), Mary Clare, Joseph Richard and Thomas James. Delegate Marshall is a member of All Saints Catholic Church, the Knights of Columbus and the Prince William County, Virginia Republican Committee.
Bob received his Bachelor of Arts Degree in History in 1969 from Belmont Abbey College in Belmont, North Carolina and his Master of Arts in Humanities in 1991 from California State University.
Delegate Marshall is an independent research consultant. He has worked as a Vice President of Communications for Shenandoah Electronic Intelligence, an adjunct professor for George Mason University, the Director of Congressional Information for the American Life League, Staff Director of a U.S. Senate subcommittee, Legislative Assistant for two U.S. Representatives and one U.S. Senator, and in the Executive Office of the President as a "cost-cutter" reviewing grants for waste and efficiency.
Marshall was first elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1991. He serves on the Counties, Cities and Towns, Privileges and Elections and Technology committees. He is chairman of the Counties, Cities and Towns Subcommittee # 1, and the Privileges and Elections Subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments, Campaign Reform and Ethics.

The Seven Statues
The Seven Statues is a Sunless Sea Story Event.
Seven plinths. Seven Statues. Seven Against Nidah. "I made them," Mariam tells you, "to help me remember.
This event is triggered by doing the Follow her to the Hall of Sevens action in the Mariam event.
The dust puffs about your feet as you approach the black-bone statue of a gentleman with a capacious forehead and a discerning scowl.
Ambition: the Guide = 1 [You have yet to recruit someone]
"Lorenzo," Mariam recalls. "An explorer from the Surface, who came down here to be the first to climb the Mountain. The Nidaheen drove him away. I recruited him. He charted the Interior for us, and plotted the course of our armies.
"Now? He fled into the north, where I have heard he maintains a lighthouse."
The Propagandist
This statue depicts an unassuming, bespectacled man with thinning hair and a solemn face. "Bourdain," Mariam remembers.
Ambition: the Propagandist = 1 [You have yet to recruit someone]
She remembers Bourdain better than the others. "We were confidantes. He was a Frenchman and - in his day - a member of the revolutionaries' Calendar Council. He wrote pamphlets, and placed bombs. I could not say which were more incendiary." Her smile is fond.
"If the worst came to the worst, he meant to hide in Frostfound. But the ice-spires swallowed him. Years ago I sent an agent to retrieve him, but their vessel was lost. Prey to pirates, I think. Or wreckers."
The Financier
The statue has its hands folded at its waist. Its expression is determined, beatific. Mariam has hung Lytton's locket - which you gave her when you first met - around its neck.
Ambition: the Financier = 1 [You have yet to recruit one]
She gropes for his name, for a moment. "Lytton. He was more than our financier. He was our courage. He inspired us when we faltered."
You remind her that he wants no further part in the endeavour. "Yes. But he has told us who should replace him." She clicks open the locket. The face of the Fierce Philanthropist looks out.
A well-built man in late middle-age. His head is bald. His beard is near. "Batuk," Mariam says, pleased that she could remember. "I'm rather proud of this one."
Ambition: the Soldier = 1 [You have yet to recruit someone]
Mariam examines the words she once carved on the statue's plinth. "Yes. Rosina's cousin. He was one of the Presbyterate's border-guards: the Gracious. But they discharged him when he allowed an explorer access to the Interior. An explorer..." she taps her teeth, thinking. "Lorenzo? Afterwards, Batuk became a mercenary, and joined our number.
"He'd had enough of discipline. He will have sought a place of freedom."
A wiry gentleman of the Khanate, his graven expression is unimpressed. "This is Arik," Mariam tells you. Engraved on his plinth are the words 'THE SECOND OF THE SEVEN'.
Ambition: the Captain = 1 [You have yet to recruit someone]
"I remember that he was the first I recruited to my scheme," Mariam says. "He was a scion of the Taimen, injured in a battle against my homeland. I saved his life. My father was not pleased.
"Arik seized the Polythremi vessels we needed to navigate the red river. He commanded our fleets. After our defeat, he planned to go to Hideaway. He said he had an idea."
This statue is of a woman of advancing years. A daughter of the Presbyterate, clad in a priestess' robe.
Ambition: the Healer = 1 [You have yet to recruit someone]
"Our healer, Rosina. She was the abbess at the hospital in Adam's Way, and petitioned Nidah on several occasions to afford her patients additional time. The Nidaheen ignored her. I did not."
Mariam rubs her temples, struggling to remember. "She contracted a condition of her own. If she has survived, it will be because she has found somewhere calm, and clear, and hard."
The Schemer
A statue of Mariam, clad not in a mason's apron but a royal gown. A knowing smile graces her black-bone lips.
Ambition: the Seven, Anew ≤ 6 [Six of Seven]
"To remind me what I was," she says. "Before the Fathomking changed me. Before I began to forget." She looks at the replica of herself, chewing her lip. "I look certain, don't I? Confident. I wonder if that was true, or if I made it up."
Speak to Mariam
You have questions for her.
Triggers event: Mariam
Identify replacements
Some of the Seven may be beyond your reach. Mariam can suggest likely replacements.

Ex-Michigan St. star Jay Vincent going to prison
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — Former NBA player and Michigan State star Jay Vincent has been sentenced to five-and-a-half years in prison and ordered to pay more than $110,000 in restitution to the IRS for his part in a fraud scheme.
The 52-year-old Vincent received the sentence Friday in federal court in Grand Rapids. He pleaded guilty to fraud and tax charges.
The government says he and an associate defrauded 20,000 people out of about $1 million by charging them to become certified home inspectors.
Prosecutors recommended nine years in prison. U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker sentenced Vincent to 68 months.
Former NBA star Magic Johnson wrote a letter to the judge asking for "mercy" for Vincent, calling his former college roommate "incredibly remorseful."
Johnson and Vincent played on Michigan State's 1979 national championship team.

Marx and Engels
on Political Economy
Marx: 1841 - 1849
Outlines of a Critique of Political Economy, Engels, 1843 (68k)
"Political economy came into being as a natural result of the expansion of trade, and with its appearance elementary, unscientific huckstering was replaced by a developed system of licensed fraud, an entire science of enrichment."
Comments on James Mill, Marx, 1844 (62k)
"Our mutual value is for us the value of our mutual objects. Hence for us man himself is mutually of no value."
Economic & Philosophical Manuscripts, Marx, 1844 (354k)
"Political Economy regards the proletarian ... like a horse, he must receive enough to enable him to work. It does not consider him, during the time when he is not working, as a human being. It leaves this to criminal law, doctors, religion, statistical tables, politics, and the beadle. ...
(1) What is the meaning, in the development of mankind, of this reduction of the greater part of mankind to abstract labor?
(2) What mistakes are made by the piecemeal reformers, who either want to raise wages and thereby improve the situation of the working class, or — like Proudhon — see equality of wages as the goal of social revolution? ."
Notes on Ricardo, Marx, 1845
"The disproportion ... springs from the multiplicity of capitals, their division and mutually hostile action."
The Poverty of Philosophy, Marx, 1847 (332k)
"Economists explain how production takes place in the above-mentioned relations, but what they do not explain is how these relations themselves are produced, that is, the historical movement which gave them birth. M. Proudhon, taking these relations for principles, categories, abstract thoughts, has merely to put into order these thoughts, which are to be found alphabetically arranged at the end of every treatise on political economy. The economists' material is the active, energetic life of man; M. Proudhon's material is the dogmas of the economists."
Wage Labour & Capital, Marx, 1847 (129k)
"We shall seek to portray this as simply and popularly as possible, and shall not presuppose a knowledge of even the most elementary notions of political economy. We wish to be understood by the workers."
On the Question of Free Trade, Marx, 1848 (73k)
"The Repeal of the Corn Laws in England is the greatest triumph of free trade in the 19th century."
Reflections on Money, Marx, March 1851
Economic Works.
The Grundrisse, Marx, 1857 (2130kb)
"The economists of the seventeenth century, e.g., always begin with the living whole, with population, nation, state, several states, etc.; but they always conclude by discovering through analysis a small number of determinant, abstract, general relations such as division of labour, money, value, etc. As soon as these individual moments had been more or less firmly established and abstracted, there began the economic systems, which ascended from the simple relations, such as labour, division of labour, need, exchange value, to the level of the state, exchange between nations and the world market. The latter is obviously the scientifically correct method. The concrete is concrete because it is the concentration of many determinations, hence unity of the diverse. It appears in the process of thinking, therefore, as a process of concentration, as a result, not as a point of departure, even though it is the point of departure in reality and hence also the point of departure for observation [Anschauung] and conception. Along the first path the full conception was evaporated to yield an abstract determination; along the second, the abstract determinations lead towards a reproduction of the concrete by way of thought."
Pre-Capitalist Economic Formations, Marx, c. 1858
Pre-Capitalist Economic Formations is pp. 471 - 514 of the Grundrisse.
Second Draft of A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy, Marx, 1858
Introduction to A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy, Marx, 1857
Originally intended as a general introduction to A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy, Marx decided against it for the much shorter (and more often quoted) Preface, but is included in the A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy as an appendix.
A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy, Marx, 1859 (547k)
"In the social production of their existence, men inevitably enter Into definite relations, which are independent of their will, namely relations of production appropriate to a given stage in the development of their material forces of production. The totality of these relations of production constitutes the economic structure of society, the real foundation, on which arises a legal and political superstructure and to which correspond definite forms of social consciousness. The mode of production of material life conditions the general process of social, political and intellectual life. It is not the consciousness of men that determines their existence, but their social existence that determines their consciousness."
The Production Process of Capital, Marx, 1861-3
"There will be about 30 sheets of print. It is a sequel to Part I, but will appear on its own under the title Capital, with A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy as merely the subtitle. In fact, all it comprises is what was to make the third chapter of the first part, namely 'Capital in General'." [Marx to Kugelmann, 28th Dec 1868]
Theories of Surplus Value, Marx, 1861 (188k)
"All economists share the error of examining surplus-value not as such, in its pure form, but in the particular forms of profit and rent."
Results of the Direct Production Process, Marx, c. 1864
Results of the Direct Production Process was a draft for chapter six of Capital.
"functions which were surrounded with a halo, ... professionals, such as physicians and barristers ... are on the one hand converted directly into wage labour ... they become subject ... to the laws that regulate the price of wage labour."
Value, Price and Profit, Marx, 1865 (126k)
"This false appearance distinguishes wages labour from other historical forms of labour. On the basis of the wages system even the unpaid labour seems to be paid labour. With the slave, on the contrary, even that part of his labour which is paid appears to be unpaid. Of course, in order to work the slave must live, and one part of his working day goes to replace the value of his own maintenance. But since no bargain is struck between him and his master, and no acts of selling and buying are going on between the two parties, all his labour seems to be given away for nothing."
Capital.
Marx: 1867 -
Capital, Volume I, Marx, 1867 (2260kb)
"The wealth of those societies in which the capitalist mode of production prevails, presents itself as "an immense accumulation of commodities," its unit being a single commodity. Our investigation must therefore begin with the analysis of a commodity."
Volumes II & III of Capital were compiled from Marx's notes by Engels, after Marx's death.
Capital, Volume II (1340kb)
"Every individual capital forms, however, but an individualised fraction, a fraction endowed with individual life, as it were, of the aggregate social capital, just as every individual capitalist is but an individual element of the capitalist class."
Capital, Volume III (2390kb)
"Since the mass of the employed living labour is continually on the decline as compared to the mass of materialised labour set in motion by it, i.e., to the productively consumed means of production, it follows that the portion of living labour, unpaid and congealed in surplus-value, must also be continually on the decrease compared to the amount of value represented by the invested total capital. Since the ratio of the mass of surplus-value to the value of the invested total capital forms the rate of profit, this rate must constantly fall."

A spin-out from the School of Chemistry at the University of Leeds is being used in the first BECCS (bioenergy with carbon capture and storage) pilot project of its kind in the world.
C-Capture, developed by Professor Chris Rayner, is being used by Drax Power Station, the UK's biggest renewable power generator, to capture carbon dioxide.
The demonstration plant at the power station, near Selby in North Yorkshire, is using the innovative technology, developed by C-Capture, to capture a tonne of CO2 a day during the pilot. It is the first-time carbon dioxide has been captured from the combustion of a 100% biomass feedstock.
The Royal Academy and Royal Society of Engineers have estimated that BECCS could enable 50 million tonnes of carbon dioxide to be captured by Drax per year by 2050 – approximately half the nation's emissions target.
See this animation explainer of the BECCS process and this video of how C-Capture works.

She brought her cat in from the outside.
She was an older woman who had lived in the tenement in the Bronx for as many years as she could remember. She had a number of cats inside the house already. But no one could say it was too many cats, because if you did not see them, you might not know they were there. Each was a shadow or a whisper seen just out of the corner of your eye and would sometimes disappear when you turned to see them. Each was a picture of perfection when they deigned to come over to you, fur shining, teeth glittering in the candlelight. Sometimes you could pick one up and marvel at its lithe and muscular nature, the ever gentle scent of mint that rose from their fur.
Sabra was different than other old cat ladies in a number of ways. She did not appear to be as crazy as most. Yes, she wore the typical old lady clothes, stuff from a century earlier than this one. You never quite recognized any of it, but you knew it wasn't fashionable any time recently. It did not stop it from being somehow appropriate for her and she wore it with a type comfort unseen with today's plastic, polyester, over the top clothing which may be perfect for the time but no one would remember it a year or two from now and no one would ever admit to ever having worn it.
No, her clothing was timelessly beautiful, just like she was. Her face appeared to be that of an old woman with warm lines whenever she smiled a you, laughing lines around her eyes and while her cheeks had narrowed, they were once full and soft, and had a curve that enticed you to approach her neck and just sit there, near her perfect ears and long, dark hair, now white, but still long and strangely luxurious. And while she appeared to be a woman in her late sixties or early seventies, her stride was only occasionally one of a woman whose body was in it golden years. Most of the time, you might see the shadow of another, younger, more vibrant woman and wonder what she might have been like in her youth.
Sabra was certainly a mystery to everyone who saw her, because you could only seem to see her as a collective. If you focused on any single thing, the way we just did, you might notice more than you were supposed to and that might be bad for you. Sabra's neighbors had learned to ignore the peculiar old woman who might talk to herself as she trundled up the stairs with cans of cat food and vegetables. She would let the young men in the rough neighborhood carry her bags upstairs but none were ever rough or rude to her. There was something about her that let you know she would not tolerate poor manners. Very few people could remember a time when she did not live here, but no one could tell you when she moved into the neighborhood.
It was a strange thing among a number of strange things that did not make sense, but everyone accepted. Bad men, drug dealers, killers, and pedophiles would wander into this part of the Bronx, because it was a nexus of social activity, and peddle their wares, but this was not done often after Sabra became a member of the neighborhood. These men would disappear after they met her a few times returning from her errands.
The neighbors noticed this but said nothing. These men were not of the family, or of the people or of our people. They were other and Sabra warned them. She always did. If they did not take the warning and leave, the locals would shake their heads, mutter under their breaths about the diminished quality of the neighborhood and wait for the Song.
At first, people wondered where Sabra collected her cats because there were never any strays on the streets in this part of the city. At night, you would see a few of them, but you always knew they were her cats, clean, quiet, well mannered like her. People tolerated them and in return, there were no mice in shops or apartments, and no rats would dare to grace a trashcan for blocks in any direction of Sabra's apartment. Stores she frequented also enjoyed that blessing. After a few years, her cats, became invisible to the locals, a part of the landscape, welcomed and yet ignored.
There was never a time this collection of cats was ever a menace to the neighborhood, nor did they stay up late at night singing and disturbing the neighbors. They might be out, and they might be singing, but their song was a different one. One that soothed, one that protected, one that said, don't notice us, there is nothing to see here. If you are hearing us, you are happy, you are one of us, you love our song, and if you are not, you don't want to be here. People who didn't belong here who heard that song and were on the wrong side of it, were never found again.
Sabra would pick up her new cat in the morning, instinct brought it to her, confused, it would run toward the beacon it could see in the night. Clamber in through the broken window in the basement, climb the three flights of stairs in the old building, and wait at her door. She never recognized these new cats, but could feel its confusion about its new, simpler, life.
She would bring it in, give it food, get it adjusted to its new home and its new brethren and she would go out to make sure her neighborhood was the way she left it when she went to bed. The warm sun would always bring a smile to her face and make her think of a place far away, lost both in time and space. Then that memory would fade and she would tuck her scarf into her jacket and mutter incoherently.
From the fire escape, one black cat would watch for her, prowling rooftops keeping her in his sight and safe for another day. He had done that job for decades and took it very seriously. She cannot remember who she is. Not yet. The time is not right.

Kevin Stadler triumphs in Phoenix for first PGA Tour win
Kevin Stadler (Courtesy: Keith Allison)
Some players are superstars, and others aren't. This is true across all sports, but it becomes especially prevalent in golf due to the dearth of true stars that can seemingly cross over into the mainstream sports consciousness. If golf isn't the sport with the least amount of true superstars, I'm not sure what is.
Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have reached that point without question. John Daly was there when he was at the very least occasionally winning golf tournaments, and I think Bubba Watson has achieved superstar status, even though you can make the argument that he's nowhere near the quality player that either Adam Scott or Rory McIlroy is. The pink driver, the Golf Boys videos, the social interaction and the fact that he absolutely mashes the ball and is able to move it around just about anything have made him exceedingly popular with the fans.
Kevin Stadler is not one of those guys, and he will likely never be one of those guys. He grew up in the game and his father, Craig, was on the PGA Tour, ironically becoming one of the most popular players the game had for a stretch of time when he was also one of golf's best talents. Kevin Stadler has become one of the PGA Tour's most consistent regulars, but is really only known by the most ardent of golf viewers, thanks in large part to the fact that, unlike Watson, he had yet to win on the PGA Tour coming into yesterday. He was 0-for-239, and perennially on that unwanted list of "best players to never win on the PGA Tour." Graham DeLaet, arguably the best of those winless players, had a great weekend of 65-65 to get into the clubhouse at 15-under par and force both Watson and Stadler to keep making birdies as they came down the stretch at TPC Scottsdale.
Stadler and Watson got to the par-5 18th tee tied at 16-under par, one stroke ahead of the number set by DeLaet in the clubhouse. When Stadler made his par, DeLaet's chances were sunk, but Watson still had a chance to force a playoff if he could make a five-footer for his par. Watson knew right away that he had hit a poor putt, and you could see the relief on Stadler's face when he realized that he had finally broken that PGA Tour duck.
The win likely means that he'll have a place in the WGC-Match Play for the first time ever at the end of this month, and as was mentioned about 23125 times on the broadcast once he got into contention, Stadler will be going to the Masters for the first time where assuming that Augusta National doesn't have a completely callous heart, they'll pair him with his dad, as the elder Stadler still tees it up at Augusta every year as a past champion.
For Watson, it's the best result he's had anywhere since he won the Masters back in 2012, but it's also a tournament that he let slip away. While it's likely a step in the right direction, it's amazing how far he's fallen since winning that green jacket nearly two years ago. I'm always of the opinion that talent wins out in the end, so Watson is likely going to be just fine, but this is a big deal for Stadler.
When we talk about golf and professional golfers, we tend to think of those superstars, but for every Tiger, Phil and Bubba, there's probably two or three Kevin Stadler's. Those guys who tore up amateur and college golf, but quickly came to the realization that the pro game is completely different, one where success doesn't come anywhere near as easily as it used to. Wins like this one are what makes sure that guys like Stadler stay on the PGA Tour, giving him exemptions into tournaments that he otherwise wouldn't have been qualified for.
Kevin Stadler will never be a superstar, but his win on Sunday and the chance to go to Augusta with his father is probably good enough for him.

Global Times editorial: How can Trump make "free speech" feel?
Is silenced to Trump a violation of the principle of free speech? Whatever the original First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, Trump is speechless on social platforms and loses this right of ordinary American citizens, which of course violates the principle of freedom of speech that American political elites usually advocate." I oppose your point of view, but I swear to defend your right to speak to the death." This is the "free speech light" usually illuminated by the "American Lighthouse" to the rest of the world.
In fact, the political meaning of freedom of expression has been masked by the context of the United States and the West, that is, freedom of speech does exist at political and moral boundaries, and the sound of Trump has brought this meaning to the surface in the United States.
Some people say that the public opinion platform speaks to the president, which shows the democracy of the United States and is a true portrayal of the real freedom of that society. This kind of argument is very weak. Trump is the President of the United States who has betrayed his relatives in the American system.
He said a lot of out of style at the peak of power, but nothing happened. He is now out of power. Several online platforms in the United States "press" him at the same time. This is the real political situation of silence.
In addition to being a right, freedom of speech has been cut into a banner in political struggles. In the final analysis, the boundaries of freedom of speech and freedom of expression itself are defined by the powerful and victorious parties.
Trump lost but wanted to resist, so he was expelled from the boundaries of freedom of expression by several pro-Democratic online platforms.
If Trump still refuses to accept defeat and has enough supporters, they will further challenge the order of American public opinion.
If things continue, they will become the "Civil War" in the ideological field of the United States.
The United States is shown to the world as a democratic and rule-of-law society, but recent events have fully demonstrated that it is a naked politically dominant society. The true echo of American ideology is political struggle, and the rules of freedom of expression must also be baptized in political struggle.
"Trump's mobile phone is really a brick"
The U.S. election is over, not only Republicans will admit defeat according to the rules of the United States, but also Trump and his loyal supporters. Trump's social media account has accumulated a lot of political energy. His refusal to admit that failure has constituted the aftermath of the American system, and his account is a kind of purge.
Freedom of speech, as a political resource in the United States, will not be allowed to be used against the system and the winner in the United States, so Trump's personal freedom of speech is ruthlessly denied.
The United States has been in serious chaos in recent days, and many of the feet and truths of the national system have been exposed in the fight between different forces.
Almost all its high principles surrounding democracy, freedom and human rights have been discounted in the urgent matters of domestic politics, and the face of the American system has been put aside.
All this is not conducive to Washington's continued self-proclaimation as a "democratic beacon" in the future, but don't think that they will really change their tunes from now on.
They will definitely continue the old tricks.
The hegemony of the United States relies on the advantage of power. As long as its power is still the strongest, it will continue to use its interests as the source of justice coordinates internationally and organize rounds of external ideological attacks.
Washington will use these attacks to cover the various disadvantages of the United States as if they did not exist.
For example, it is foreseen that Washington will also label the violence in Hong Kong as a "democracy movement", and they will not be ashamed of accusing the shockers of Congress as "thugs" and setting double standards.
Similarly, they will continue to label China and others as "suppressing freedom of speech" without any discomfort because Trump's voice.
However, in the past two years, a lot has happened in the world. The United States has suffered many shocks from nature and within. Human beings have witnessed all this. The impact is huge and the impact is far-reaching.
Pretending that nothing has happened and hoping that unfair and unreasonable things can last forever are self-deceiving.

US hits back at China for targeting diplomat in Hong Kong
State department condemns 'dangerous' reports identifying US envoy after supposed meeting with activists
in Asia, China, Featured, National Security, News, Politics
Official Chinese media reports about a US diplomat who met with student leaders of Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement "have gone from irresponsible to dangerous" and must stop, the US state department has said.
"Chinese authorities know full well, our accredited consular personnel are just doing their jobs, just like diplomats from every other country," said spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus.
On Thursday, Ortagus called China a "thuggish regime" for disclosing photographs and personal details of the diplomat.
"I don't think that leaking an American diplomat's private information, pictures, names of their children – I don't think that is a formal protest … That is not how a responsible nation would behave," she said.
The Hong Kong office of China's foreign ministry on Thursday asked the United States to explain reports in Communist party-controlled media that US diplomats were in contact with student leaders of the protests that have convulsed Hong Kong for nine weeks.
The denunciations from the state department were unusually sharp and came amid tensions between Washington and Beijing over an expanding trade war and military rivalry in the western Pacific, among other disputes.
The Hong Kong newspaper Ta Kung Pao published a photograph it said showed the diplomat talking with student leaders in the lobby of a luxury hotel. It appeared under the headline "Foreign Forces Intervene".
The state department did not confirm the diplomat's identity nor elaborate on what kinds of private information or children's details were disclosed.
China has accused foreign powers, particularly the United States, of fomenting the demonstrations in Hong Kong.

#EveryDropCounts: Water restrictions, high tariffs could be relaxed
News / 24 July 2018, 08:23am / Staff Reporter
Restrictions and tariffs are linked to dam levels and collective consumption, the City if Cape Town said.
Cape Town - The City of Cape Town is hopeful that as dam levels increase, it can relax water restrictions and consider the possibility of lowering the associated tariffs.
The tariffs have been a source of growing discontent among the city's residents, who have questioned some of the methodology in hiking the rates.
The City of Cape Town, with its partners at provincial and national government level, is due to reassess the situation in August.
"The City has maintained that a risk overview is required to determine when an appropriate time would be to relax restrictions slightly," Cape Town's deputy mayor Ian Neilson said.
"The reason that an assessment is needed is born from two considerations: to ensure that water consumption remains as low as possible to boost the reserve water in the dams ahead of the summer months; and to help the dams recover adequately going forward. The other consideration is our consumers, the pressure on them and the sacrifices they have made to help Cape Town get through the severe drought.
Deputy mayor Ian Neilson Picture: Courtney Africa/African News Agency (ANA)
"If water restrictions are lowered to appropriate levels, the City will then lower the associated water tariffs," he said.
"Restriction levels are linked to dam levels, and restriction tariffs are linked to the volume of water used by the city. This means that if the restriction level is reduced, individual use is expected to increase as the tariff decreases, ensuring the City receives the same total income. We will therefore continue to monitor the situation," he said.
Cape Town last week increased its consumption by 36 million litres, and was using 80 million litres more than the City's target of 450 million litres of water per day.
Winter water-saving tips
* Stick to short, stop-start showers or skip a day if you can
* In winter, water may take a bit longer to heat up. Don't let the cold water run down the drain while you wait for it to heat up. Rather collect it in a clean container and use it to wash dishes or laundry
* Install flow restrictors on indoor taps to reduce the flow rate to less than 6 litres per minute. Low-flow shower heads can reduce flow to a maximum of 10 litres per minute. You can also reduce the water pressure to your property by turning your stopcock lower and/or installing a flow restrictor on the main pipe connection from your meter
* Continue to harvest rainwater and use it to flush the toilet or to clean floors
* Continue to switch between using waterless hand sanitiser and using water and soap to clean hands where possible

Water tariffs: City council is the enemy
#EveryDropCounts: With new water tariffs, here's what Capetonians now pay


To coincide with the completion of the Radisson Blu Hotel, the access routes to Terminal 1, the hotel and the circulation node have been upgraded with the aim of enhancing functionality and visual appeal.
The existing architectural language of the Airport Shopping area was carried across in the renovation. The walls, columns, lift fronts and floors were adapted to the airport standard. The ceiling height at the circulation node appears to have increased thanks to the luminous ceiling, and the environment along the entire passageway has been improved.
The inclusion of three additional retail outlets and attractive advertising spaces have helped to inject more life into the area. Clear signage has also been introduced.

Anyways, I am SO excited for today's blog post because I'm sharing all the tips I wish I would have known before starting my blog! That being said, if you are considering starting a blog this is a post that will defiantly benefit you! Before I get into all of that I wanna talk a little bit about this look. This gingham overall dress is ONLY $10!! & it's so cute on! I just paired it with a basic white boyfriend tee, but I think it would be cute with a graphic tee as well if you wanted to switch it up.
Ready to start blogging?! If you said yes I'm here to give you some major tips that I have learned over the past 2 years. The first thing you want to ask yourself is why am I starting a blog? What is going to be the purpose of my blog? Weather you are wanting to start a fashion blog, travel blog, or even a food blog each of these tips will benefit you in some way.
Tip #1: Choose a name that will be relatable to the content you will be producing.
This tip to me is SO important, mostly because this is the first thing your reader are going to read before diving into your content. I chose Southern Glamour Blog because I want people to know that I am from the South, and I like to create an image that my style is glamourous. Also, make sure you LOVE your name because this is something that your going to hear every single day. It's also important to create something unique, you don't want to take a name that someone already has.
Tip #2 HAVE FUN with it!
If you go into starting a blog wanting to make a ton of money or expect to gain 1,000 followers over night then you are in it for the wrong reasons. I started my blog in college as a hobby and to inspire others with trendy fashion. I learn new things every single day and I create new goals each month. That being said, just have fun with it and don't over think it!
Tip #3: Know your Audience.
Before you dive into creating content, you need to be clear about who you are trying to inspire or who your target consumer are going to be. This is going to be one the most important things your going to want to research or define about yourself or your blog. You want to always keep your readers interested in the content your producing, this will keep them coming back for more.
Make sure you have a number categories to discuss with your readers. Of course my main topic is fashion but I also talk about hair, makeup, my lifestyle, and sometimes health. I always try to create certain looks or shoot a blog post in a certain area to go along with the theme. If you have different categories this will drive in more consumers rather than just having people that are interested in fashion only. When picking your categories, think about what interest you the most, or what are good at? I started sharing details about my hair and makeup because of many of followers wanted to know more about those topics.
Tip #5: Ask your followers what they like.
Never be afraid to ask your readers what they want. For example, sometime I will ask a question on my Instagram captions this is a great way to get to know your followers, and it lets your followers know that you care about their options & what they are wanting!
ALWAYS be yourself!! Your followers want to see content that is authentic and real, this will help you build trust with your audience. This will help you increase sale as well, because if they trust you they will buy what you are advertising! When reviewing a product always be honest because you don't want to talk great about a product if it's not! Also, be the first to admit mistakes and always apologize!
Tip #7: DO NOT do it for the MONEY!!
If you are starting a blog to make lots of money well then you are going to be disappointed real quick…. When you have a blog with you to work very hard everyday to grow your following, & when having a those followers you have to get them to trust you. If they trust you then they will buy the stuff you are advertising, but it takes years to start making a good bit of money off blogging. I have over 12,ooo followers and I still do not make nearly enough money, I have another job on the side besides blogging.
Tip #8: NEVER NEVER NEVER BUY FOLLOWERS!!!!!!!!!
This is SO important to me!! If you think buying followers is going to help you out, you are totally wrong. It's not about the number at all. Yes the more you grow the more opportunity will open up but if you only have 100 post and over 10k followers, people are going to know and those followers are not active and they aren't going to engage into your content! Just don't do it, it's not worth it!!
Well I hope these 8 tips help you out in some way or give you a better understanding of what it takes exactly. I could give you 100 more tips but I don't want to overload you with too many at one time! That being said, I will continue to give you more tips over the next couple of weeks!! If you have any questions please feel free to ask!!
Happy Happy Friday!! This week went by SO slow so I'm thrilled that the weekend is officially here, even if I don't have plan haha.. Those are usually the best weekends right?! Anyways, I can't stop obsessing over this entire look. It's something about white on white that gets me every time, & of course that embroidery detail! The sweet ladies at Amelia's Boutique were so kind to send me this precious embroidered cold shoulder top. When I put this top on for the first time I feel in LOVE with it, mostly because it's such a flattering top but I love the bright colors on the top as well. I am wearing a small in this top, and it does run TTS. Amelia's Boutique has a variety of trendy pieces to choose from each season, and not to mention the prices are amazing! That being said, if you haven't shopped with them now is your chance, or you can follow them on instagram to stay in the loops of their new arrivals!!
Next week I've got lots of great content planned for the blog. I will be talking about a few different topics that I know you all will enjoy, so make sure check back next week or you can sign up with my mailing list and I'll keep you updated when things go live!! Anyways, I hope you all have a great weekend!!
Sharing my skincare routine has been highly requested by many of my followers so I thought I would share each product that I use with details of each! If you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment below, I'd love to answer it!
This face wash is my absolute favorite, I use it in the morning and at night! I have been using it for about 3 months now and I don't see me changing anytime soon. It contain lots of vitamin C, which helps smoothes and purifies your skin leaving it fresh and bright. There are a couple of reason that I love this face wash so much, one being it gets all the makeup and dirt that may be on my face to keep it clean. The second reason being it keeps my face clear from monthly break outs!
I believe that everyone should have a good toner in their daily skincare routine. That being said, I use this in the mornings and at night after I wash my face. This toner is for all skin types dry, sensitive, oily, normal, and combination. It contains vitamin E, and aloe with helps improve your skin tone.
Since I have such dry skin having good moisturizer is an absolute must for me in the mornings and night. This lightweight, oil-free facial cream is fortified with legendary skin-boosters like panax ginseng and coffee bean to jumpstart hydration levels. Lackluster-looking skin is rapidly refreshed and revitalized to create a healthy, vibrant glow.
This is not a must in everyone's nightly routine but I decide to try this product and I feel in love with it. It gently exfoliates to reveal a healthier and more even skin tone. It helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and fades superficial sin damage over time. I only use this at night.
I suffer from puffy eyes each morning so I thought I would give this no more baggage a try, and it is the best de-eye puffer I've ever use! It is under-eye solution that dramatically reduces the appearance of bags, puffiness, and dark circles for a more youthful and rested look. I apply this each morning!
I exfoliate my face 3 times a week to wipe away all the dullness that it may have. This is a dual-action exfoliator that smooths and polishes to reveal a glowing, radiant complexion in as little as one use. It helps with dullness, uneven texture, pores, dark spots, and uneven skin tone. I know this product is a little pricey but it truly is the best exfoliater I've used in a while.
This is not something I use everyday since I wear foundation most days, but it I know I won't being wearing much makeup I will use this with my moisturizer. This product is an easy-to-use, eco-certified cosmos organic sunless tan face serum that offers a potent blend of argan oil, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and plant stem cell cultures for smooth, glowing skin.
Happy Tuesday loves! I hope you all are off to a great start to your week!! I am currently on vacation this week at the beach with my mom and sister, I am so excited to finally have a week off and get some sun on my pale skin haha!! I always feel prettier when my skin is nicely bronze, does anyone else feel this ways as well?! Anyways, I purchased this adorable off the shoulder dress a few weeks ago from Forver21 and I shared it on my instagram via try on session. That being said, it is only available in large but I did link some similar options that are just as cute! Today I am so excited to finally share one of my absolute favorite ring companies of all times! Everly Rings has always has the ability to catch my eye mostly because the gorgeous ring sets they have to offer!
Everly Rings offers a variety of different rings to choose from whether it be creating a fun stack to wear daily or to chance up your wedding ring set, they have so many beautiful different options to choose from. When it comes to picking out the perfect size for your ring stack here is what I would recommend for you! Stackable Rings; I would suggest sizing up because these rings tend to run small and when stacking multiple on one finger can make these bands have a bit of a tighter feel. Engagement Style Rings; If you are in between sizes I would suggest you size down, this is because if the center is bigger it an throw off the weight distribution and this will cause the ring to swirl around your finger if it's too big. If you are unsure of your ring size I would recommend you going to your local jewelry store and get them to size you so you order the perfect size! However, if you receive the ring and it doesn't fit or you just don't like the ring on your finer you are allowed to return and exchange within two weeks of the purchase for unworn rings that are FREE from wear & tear, they must be in their original packing as well. Everly Ring will refund you the amount, minus a 10% restocking fee & shipping. If you have any problems with the rings within 30 days of wearing it Everly Rings will replace your ring for a brand new one! As far as cleaning your Everly Ring, they offer an amazing cleaning product that I would highly recommend so you can keep your ring look clean at all times! Now that I've shared all the details about Everly Rings you are ready to pick out your set, my discount code is BRHALEE!!!

N.W. rose quickly to see who was banging on his door. As soon as he lifted the latch his mouth flew open. Standing in front of him was his best friend John looking as if he'd heard the world was coming to an end. Beside John stood his sister Sarah wringing her hands and crying.
