The Flash: Ray Fisher Cyborg Getting Recast (Rumor)
It's claimed that Warner Bros. will recast the Ray Fisher Cyborg character, with it speculated to happen in the upcoming The Flash movie or in a later flick.
The rumor follows it rumored that the Gal Gadot Wonder Woman is also getting recast in The Flash.
The details again come from Giant Freakin Robot who claims an insider filled them in that Warner Bros. can't mend fences with the 33-year-old Ray Fisher and will recast Cyborg with a new and younger actor as DC still wants to develop the character on the big screen.
It's already known that Ray Fisher has been removed from The Flash said to be due to the controversy involving Fisher's tweets about the Justice League investigation and head of DC films, Walter Hamada.
The Wrap has actually reported that Cyborg won't get recast in The Flash and has been written out, but if ever there was an opportunity to recast a character or characters, it would be The Flash movie, as the flick deals with time travel and the Multiverse.
DC in crisis
Recall how DC insiders filled me in that some sort of DCEU reboot is underway involving J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, and James Gunn, where I also said it could be possible that the Zack Snyder Justice League actors could get the boot and the characters recast.
While not exactly official, Ben Affleck is already out as Batman with Robert Pattinson starring as the new Batman; Henry Cavill is said to be out as Superman with J.J. Abrams developing a new Black Superman; there have been lots of problems surrounding Ezra Miller; Gal Gadot is now rumored to be in trouble because of her social media; per above, Ray Fisher is out; James Gunn is basically rebooting Suicide Squad; Joaquin Phoenix is Joker; so presently from the Snyder Verse, only Jason Momoa seems to have avoided trouble.
With The Flash movie dealing with the Multiverse, the flick could introduce new versions of the characters and bring them all together under one collective universe, which is similar to the recent Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover on The CW -- which happened to feature Ezra Miller.
While it could be argued that all the versions of the characters could exist at the same time, WB doesn't appear to let that be happening as Zack Snyder recently let it be known he wasn't allowed to use the John Stewart Green Lantern where he even argued about the Multiverse, but WB still didn't let him which almost tanked the release of the Snyder Cut (via YouTube).

We are focused on reducing barriers and increasing opportunities so all people can get help when they need it. We are using equity as a lens to drive response operations and deliver better services to marginalized and other vulnerable populations.
On January 20, 2021, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. released the Executive Order On Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government requiring agencies assess equity with respect to race, ethnicity, religion, income, geography, gender identity, sexual orientation and disability.
"We're turning a page at FEMA and infusing equity throughout our agency, programs, and policies to better serve people who face unique barriers before, during and after disasters." – FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell
We are committed to delivering better services to marginalized and other vulnerable populations. These communities face systemic barriers and are disproportionately affected by climate change.
While there is a lot of work to do to implement long term systemic change, we have taken steps and have started several initiatives to address equity in FEMA programs. This includes:
Encouraging active employee engagement to ensure internal discussions generate new ideas on workplace diversity, equity and inclusion.
Expanding eligibility criteria for Critical Needs Assistance to include applicants who state they have a need for shelter but have not been able to leave their damaged dwelling.
Expanding access by integrating a Documentation Drop Off Center model for Disaster Recovery Centers (DRC) that enables survivors to submit documentation in-person, notifies survivors when a representative is available and provides estimated wait times.
Read more about FEMA's initial initiatives to advance equity.
Equity Enterprise Steering Group
Co-chaired by the Office of Equal Rights and the Office of Response and Recovery, the Equity Enterprise Steering Group (ESG):
Creates a FEMA-wide definition of equity, and framework for implementing equity into agency programs, in line with FEMA core values: compassion, fairness, integrity, and respect;
Reviews and recommends revision to FEMA-wide policies, procedures, plans, and guidance, in collaboration with FEMA Enterprise Governance Boards, as appropriate;
Ensures integration of equity considerations to drive equitable outcomes.
FEMA's 2022 – 2026 Strategic Plan
We are developing our 2022-2026 strategic plan through inputs from stakeholders within the agency and beyond to reflect a whole community perspective. Stakeholders will inform the agency's goals and objectives, with equity as a foundational priority for the coming years.
Public Comment Period on Climate Change and Underserved Populations - Closed
From April to July 2021, FEMA sought public comment on how the agency's programs deal with climate change and underserved communities and populations. The period for comment closed on July 21 and the agency is currently processing the input received.
The results of this request for information (RFI) will inform the 2022-2026 FEMA Strategic Plan and will help us better support communities and underserved populations when it comes to resiliency and climate change.

Recent progress in glycobiology has revealed that cell surface oligosaccharides play an essential role in recognition events. More precisely, these saccharides may be complexed by lectins, carbohydrate-binding proteins other than enzymes and antibodies, able to recognise sugars in a highly specific manner. The ubiquity of lectin–carbohydrate interactions opens enormous potential for their exploitation in medicine. Therefore, extraordinary effort is made into the identification of new lectins as well as into the achievement of a deep understanding of their functions and of the precise mechanism of their association with specific ligands. In this review, a summary of the main features of lectins, particularly those found in legumes, will be presented with a focus on the mechanism of carbohydrate-binding. An overview of lectin–carbohydrate interactions will also be given, together with an insight into their energetics. In addition, therapeutic applications of lectins will be discussed.

Accountancy – The route to becoming a FTSE 100 CEO?
Why is accountancy a good path?
A recent report by Financial Director reported that over 25% of FTSE 100 CEO's are qualified chartered accountants. And more than half have a Financial background. That leads us at Rymer Associates to question why this was the case and what skills a history in accountancy can offer a potential CEO.
In a nutshell, a CEO has the responsibility of aligning the goals of the board with the capital and management of the business. This ensures everyone is pulling in the same direction.
Does working in accountancy set you up to become a good CEO?
Apparently so, if current CEO's are anything to go by. But why? Why not marketing or sales? I think it boils down to 2 main points.
Understanding financial information and what it means. This might be an obvious one, but it makes a difference to shareholders who are mainly concerned with long-term share price growth. As we mentioned, a CEO has responsibility for allocation of capital and, ultimately, the annual accounts. The latter being one of the drivers of share price. If they can anticipate any potential issues they can take action to avoid a drop in share price. Thus keeping the shareholders happy. They would usually monitor this using management accounts. This important as they can help identify any potential problems before they occur. Reviewing the business financials on a monthly basis can help identify negative trends. Giving the business a chance to rectify them before they become a problem. Most monthly reviews are with management, this gives the CEO a chance to review each department's performance and improve performance.
Being a great leader isn't enough. Many people will be used to seeing memes on Facebook or Linked in on the difference between a leader and a boss. We've all seen or read about how great leaders lead from the front etc etc. But this forgets that being a great leader is not enough to become a great CEO. Traditionally people in sales, marketing or even HR are people orientated, but this could result in people pleasing, which might not be in the best interests of long-term goals. It could be argued that people from a background of accounting are used to working with the facts. Profits or Losses can not be disputed. A company is either profitable or not. Maybe an accountant can look at the figures for what they are and not get distracted by relationships.
I maybe bias, but I believe becoming an accountant can provide many benefits for a wannabe CEO. Whether it be financial understanding, business acumen or stakeholder relationships. As an accountant, I deal with all these issues and more! Either that or I fancy myself as a CEO!

Bengaluru: Brookfield Layout residents to crowdfund, plan & construct road by themselves
The proposal has received the green signal from the MLA of the area and the project is estimated to cost Rs 5.5 lakh. It will be crowdfunded and carried out by the resident welfare association of the area.
Bangalore Mirror Bureau
By Melvin Mathew
BENGALURU: Fed up with uncoordinated underground works ruining the asphalted road in their area, residents of Brookefield Layout have proposed a permanent cable duct-cum-rainwater drain. The proposal has received the green signal from the MLA of the area and the project is estimated to cost Rs 5.5 lakh. It will be crowdfunded and carried out by the resident welfare association of the area.
After multiple civic authorities kept digging the road at different spots since June 2020, the road became unusable for a whole year. The road was asphalted by the BBMP again in August, but it didn't take too long for another proposal to dig the road to come by. Just two months after being restored, BESCOM wanted to dig the road again.
This residents to come up with the proposal to construct a permanent cable duct, to prevent further digging. The duct has been designed to withstand extremely heavy and frequent truck traffic. The duct will also serve as a water culvert to reduce the massive inflow of water into the lower-lying Ryan Road.
When residents approached authorities with the proposal, they were suggested to build the culvert themselves. The residents, not new to crowdfunded fixes in their neighbourhood, decided to take up the work. Utilising the expertise of engineers in the Brookfield Layout, they designed the culvert.
"A basic engineering design tells us the cost could come up to Rs 5.5 lakh. As per our estimates, if folks contribute between Rs 8,000 to 16,000 per head, we can collect sufficient funds," said Arvind Keerthi, member of Brookefields Layout Residents. If the group fails to collect the required funds, it will return the donations.
The proposal has also received the green signal from MLA Aravind Limbavali.
"Their plan is self-funded and self-executed… There is no financial commitment from the government or any government agency. Such a system of neighbourhood self-improvement and development, funded and led by residents themselves, is to be lauded, as it gives residents a powerful sense of neighbourhood engagement and self-governance. This letter is to request all government officers in charge of Brookefield Layout, including the executive engineer (BBMP), the engineer (BESCOM), etc., to kindly extend their cooperation to aid the efforts of the Brookefield Layout Residents," wrote the MLA in a letter.
Previously, these residents have built footpaths, fixed streetlights, erected bollards, and placed manholes in strategic areas with crowdfunding. They also conduct regular drain and street cleaning using the staff hired by residents. Residents said, since 2014, the area has changed substantially and if they stop, the situation could worsen within months.
"We don't respect public property and are quick to say that the government is not helping us. We are only contributing for a very small percentage of the improvements required in the city. After having to prioritise spending on highways, defence, skylines, there is nothing left for the common man," said Keerthi.
He added, "local taxation" is more transparent and ensures accountability. People in the neighbourhood are more aware of the ground-level problems than political leaders. If residents assume collective responsibility for public property, they can avoid large-scale problems, he said.
"I suggest that other RWAs fix issues instead of lobbying for changes. Crowdsourcing is empowering," added Keerthi.
However, some civic organisations have opposed this approach.
Srinivas Alavilli, head of civic participation, Janaagraha, said, "This sets a wrong precedent and is a terrible idea. Residents must crowdsource ideas and energy, not money. A citizen's job is to hold the government accountable, not give them funds. Unless you have stopped paying taxes, you should not be contributing to any work that a civic agency is supposed to do."
"Where does it stop? How much must citizens fund and do privately? What is the lesson here for Mahadevapura? Should we not look for help from BBMP or GoK?" Whitefield Rising wrote on Twitter, responding to the proposal.

Bananas: From the Bunch to Your Breakfast
File Size - 10.9MB
Bananas originated in the Malay Archipelago in Southeast Asia. Today they are grown in tropical regions across the globe, from South and Central America to India, China and Africa.
Bananas grow in hot, tropical climates. Banana plants look like trees but are actually giant herbs related to lilies and orchids. The plant grows from a root clump (rhizome), similar to a tulip bulb. There are over 500 types of bananas! People cultivate mostly cooking bananas and plantains (the starchy cousins of the sweet banana). Over 500 million people depend on the banana trade to support themselves and their families.

The dessert banana, also called the Cavendish, is the most popular type of banana in North America and Europe. When Americans were introduced to bananas in the 1880s, they were considered an exotic luxury and eaten with a knife and fork. Today, the average person in the U.S. eats more than 75 bananas a year. Tarantulas like to hide in banana leaves.
Banana plants grow quickly and can reach their full height of 20-40 feet in only 9 months. After growing for about 6-8 months, the plant develops a nice crown of leaves. Then a flowering stem emerges from the top, and a large bud begins to develop.
As the bud unfolds, it reveals double rows of tiny flowers. Each of these flowers will become an individual banana, or a "finger." Each row of bananas is call a "hand" and is made up of 14 to 20 fingers. Each stem grows 9 to 12 hands, which means that a single banana plant can produce up to 240 bananas.

Bagging the Fruit
Farm worker bagging bananas on a banana farm in Costa Rica.
About 14 days after the stem has emerged, the weight of the growing bananas causes the stem to hang upside down. At this stage, many farmers cover the fruit with a bag to help protect it from insects and sun damage. Farmers also support the plant by tying it to neighboring plants with twine. This helps prevent the plant from toppling over from the weight of the bananas.
About 12 weeks after bagging, the green-colored fruit is ready to harvest. In order to harvest the bananas, one worker cuts the stem from the plant while another stands underneath to catch the falling stem on his shoulder. After one growth cycle, the banana plant will be cut down and a new plant will grow from the root clump (rhizome) left behind.
Once cut from the plant, the bananas are carried to the processing plant by horse or by workers.
After harvest, the plastic bags are recycled on Rainforest Alliance certified banana farms.
Worker washing bananas
At the processing plant, workers remove bananas from their stems by hand and break them into smaller clusters. The workers must be very careful to cut neatly and accurately in order to prevent breaking the skin, which can cause rotting.
The workers submerge the bananas in large tanks of cold water. The cool water lowers the temperature of the bananas and washes off sap and latex from the cut stems.
Next, the bananas get stickers. Workers carefully pack the bananas in boxes so they do not bump against each other. This helps to minimize bruising before they arrive at their destination.

Finally, the boxes are carefully loaded into refrigerated ships, called reefers. The ship's storage area is kept cold enough to prevent the bananas from ripening, a technique called "putting the bananas to sleep."
Upon arrival, the bananas are placed into ripening rooms for 3 to 8 days before being brought to the markets. The bananas are loaded into a truck and shipped off to be offered to banana lovers on grocery shelves.

I write in response to the OJIN discussions on the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) to share my concerns regarding the movement toward DNP programs. I believe the DNP degree will deter many new nurses from entering an advanced practice role. Part of what has appealed to me as a nursing student is the ability to obtain an advanced degree in nursing while continuing to work as a staff nurse. Currently the only DNP program in my area requires students to attend as full-time students. It is very difficult to attend school full time and also work enough to bring in needed income during that time. The current two-year MSN program which allows for part-time study sounds more realistic to me. These challenges of completing a DNP program could decrease the number of students entering APN programs.
Additionally, many individuals see nurse practitioner programs as an alternative to medical school. If the educational process of becoming an advanced practice nurse takes as much time as completing medical school, many students may opt to go into the medical profession. Nurse practitioners still do not earn as much as physicians, despite the decline in the salaries of physicians, and the NP role is still seen as less prestigious than that of a physician by much of society, regardless of the degree title.
It is my contention that the public will be best served if doctoral preparation is reserved for those desiring to become researchers and/or educators. Those individuals who desire to become skilled practitioners can do so without the doctoral degree.


Here is an interesting fact - the Pennsylvania Recycling Markets Center reports that the total residential weight of electronics equipment and devices inclulding tube tv's for the year is 1 billion pounds. They say "this is the equivalent weight of approximately 3,473 Statue of Liberty monuments." This past week there was lots to do and see in the tri-town area. There was so much going on that I had to pick and choose. This is a nice feeling, living in a small town and a more rural part of the county, knowing there are lots of fun family activities. Soon the fair will be here too. I began the week with the Hughesville carnival, an antique parade that was endless on Wednesday, a story hour at the Hughesville Library and finally a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Sensory Garden at the County Farm. The Master Gardeners and county officials came together for a very worthwile project that we can all enjoy at our leisure. I saw people of all ages and abillites taking part in the many sections divided up into a relaxing, most rewarding outdoor moment. With plenty of donations and financial help from the county, Christine Doward from Muncy and many others in the area worked on making this dream come true. While I was there, I also discovered the "Conservation Learning Trail" constructed through the Lycoming County Conservation District on the same premises as the "Sensory Garden." It loops around 1.2 miles along the working farm fields owned by county. It is educational with markers and interpretive panels, all in a natural setting, and best of all, it is open all year long from dusk to dawn.

Dusting of Snow Forecasted Thursday Night/Early Friday, Weekend Weather Looks To Be in 50's and Partly Sunny
Published: Thursday, November 6, 2014 at 3:30 pm
Nov. 6, 2014. Snow is in the forecast for late Thursday night and early Friday.
But don't expect the kind of snow we received last weekend. RaysWeather.com notes that a dusting is in the forecast and an inch or two is possible above 4500 feet – all for the western half of the Appalachians.
Thursday rain showers are expected to turn into snow flurries.
"Colder air arrives at sunset and rain showers will transition to snow showers tonight. That transition will happen around or just before sunset at highest elevations on the west side of the Appalachians then progress down in elevation and from west to east across the region. Snow showers and flurries will end by noon on Friday," according to RaysWeather.com's recent forecast.
Last Saturday, Appalachian State Mountaineers played in what was dubbed the "snow bowl," where the temperatures were freezing and gusty winds were whirling around Kidd Brewer Stadium. That won't be the case this Saturday when the Mountaineers face University of Louisiana-Monroe.
The high temperature on Saturday is forecasted to 52 with plenty of sunshine in the daytime. Sunday looks much the same.

High Sierra Reportedly Has a Password Problem
By Kate Conger on at
Apple's latest macOS, High Sierra, rolled out yesterday with plenty of nice security upgrades, including invasive ad tracker blocking in Safari and weekly firmware validation. But the new OS apparently comes with a security problem, too—a security researcher at Synack has already discovered a way to snatch passwords from High Sierra.
Patrick Wardle, the head of research at Synack, revealed the issue today in a video where he demonstrated code that appeared to extract plaintext passwords from the Keychain. If users opt into using Keychain, they can use it to store their login information, credit cards, and WiFi passwords.
Normally, all Keychain information is locked down with a user's master password. But Wardle was able to extract passwords from the Keychain without entering a master password, showing that an attacker with access to an unlocked computer might be able to steal Keychain data.
"Applications running on your system are able to access all the information in the Keychain without any user interaction," Wardle told Gizmodo. "There's a vulnerability that allows local code to access the keychain and bypass the security components."
Wardle's walk-through video demonstrates his "keychainStealer" app and shows it pulling plaintext passwords for Twitter, Facebook, and Bank of America.
Wardle reported the vulnerability to Apple on September 7th and said he expects that Apple will likely ship a patch soon. He said he won't make his exploit public until it's patched. He designed it with the assumption that Keychain would be unlocked, since a user's login password is typically used to unlock the Keychain. However, if a user had set a different password for the Keychain, the attack would not work. Wardle also noted that the vulnerability exists in older versions of macOS as well as High Sierra.
"If I can find these bugs, obviously nation states, malicious adversaries, and cyber criminals have tons more time and resources. I'm sure they're finding these bugs as well," Wardle explained.
Some Mac users tweeted that they'd avoid updating to High Sierra until the issue was fixed, but Wardle doesn't recommend holding off on High Sierra. "I think everyone should update. There's a lot of good built-in security features. This attack works on older versions of Mac OS as well. There's no reason for people not to upgrade," he said.
Launching an app like Wardle's would require explicit user approval, an Apple spokesperson told Gizmodo. "macOS is designed to be secure by default, and Gatekeeper warns users against installing unsigned apps, like the one shown in this proof of concept, and prevents them from launching the app without explicit approval. We encourage users to download software only from trusted sources like the Mac App Store, and to pay careful attention to security dialogues that macOS presents," the spokesperson said.. [Forbes]

Southaven library celebrates 60 years of service

Patrons who come to the M.R. Davis Public Library in Southaven no doubt see the name emblazoned in large letters as they approach the front entrance each time.
When they read the name, however, how many actually know who the person connected with the name is and why it's that particular name on the building?

If you're not a native of Southaven or someone who has flooded themselves in Southaven history, it could be forgivable if you think of it as being a bad abbreviation for "Mister."
The name is not "Mister" or not representing a male, however. M.R. Davis was an early supporter of a library in Southaven and active community supporter by the name of Maude Rasco Davis. It was her name that was placed on the library when it moved from a smaller site on Brookhaven Drive to the current Southaven Municipal Court building on Northwest Drive in 1979. Davis passed away at the age of 102 in 1993.
Davis' name then moved with the library to its current location, also on Northwest Drive and next to Jim Saucier Park, when it opened in 2008.
It was in that building where a program and open house took place to celebrate the 60th anniversary of a library in Southaven Wednesday morning.
When first placed in Southaven, the library was a room in a fire station and the books and volumes later made several moves before it arrived at the first M.R. Davis library and then to the current building.
Among those who came to attend Wednesday's open house were family members "Sluggo" Davis and Elaine Davis Shinault, grandchildren of M.R. Davis, and their first cousin, Charlie Davis.
"We're delighted, we really are," Shinault said Wednesday about having her grandmother's name on the library. "She was very active in the community for many, many years. Her name is still out there for something good in the community."

When it was first built in 1979, the 10,000 square foot facility joined libraries in Olive Branch and Horn Lake built with matching state and county funds, and was one of the 12 libraries originally making up the First Regional Library System. It was built at a cost of $400,000. The FRL now makes up 14 libraries across five counties in northwest Mississippi, including DeSoto County.
The 1979 library replaced what was the Southaven Area Public Library on Brookhaven Drive.
"Maude Rasco Davis was instrumental in the early affairs and helped bring the very first bookmobile to DeSoto County," said DeSoto County Museum curator Robert Long.
Long retraced the history of the library and its importance to DeSoto County and then to Southaven. Mayor Darren Musselwhite also appeared to give comments and updated those who attended on current projects taking place in the city.
The library in Southaven has a history that is older than the city itself and it is proud to wear the name of M.R., or Maude Rasco, Davis.

Because of his peculiar condition before, the young man, though he regained consciousness, could not stand straight. Furthermore, because of the danger of dehydration due to the desert's temperature and his considerably sweating, the young man was invited into the vehicle and allowed to drink some water inside.
The young man was forced to acknowledge that the four-wheeler was some sort of carriage, and he feels giddiness from the comfortability inside it. However, when he recalled that he could not finish his mission if he stopped mid-way, he pulled himself together as there was no time to enjoy such luxury. Then, he introduced himself to Hajime's party who saved him.
Surprisingly, the young man called Viz was an important person. Ancadi itself is the key point in transporting marine products so the freshness would not drop by much from Elisen, where 80% of marine products were produced in that northern part of the continent. In other words, by being the main supplier of the food from the northern part of the continent, Ancadi held the monopoly. Ancadi's ruler himself was not only a distinguished noble but a great noble who was trusted by Herrlicht Kingdom.
Hearing Kaori's identity of being one of the "God's Apostle" and someone summoned from different world, as well as how Hajime's party was made up of Gold-ranked adventurers, Viz was so astonished that his eyes popped out. Thus, he thought, Is this a command from God!? Even a Goddess is sent to us!, and he suddenly prayed to the heavens. In this case, the Goddess, Kaori, was dumbfounded by him. Hajime urged him to tell them the situation while leaking a slight Pressure, making Viz clear his throat and begin to talk while drenched in cold sweat.
Four days ago, people collapsing with a high fever of an unknown cause began appearing one after another in Ancadi. It was really a sudden, with 3,000 people out of 270,000 falling unconscious in the first day, and those with similar symptoms reached 20,000 people. The medical center filled instantly, and it continued to fill up the communal center. The medical personnels were treating the patients while looking for the cause of the disease, but, just like Kaori, they could only delay it without curing any.
While it happened, the number of patients kept increasing one after another. Before long, infected medical personnels began to appear. The number overwhelmed the magic users capable of delaying the disease, and under such chaos, dead finally appeared among those who didn't receive the treatment. Despair shrouded the people due to the fact that people died only after the second day they were infected.
Within those, one pharmacist accidentally used "Liquid Judging" on the drinking water. Resultantly, it was known that the water contained poison, which resulted in rampaging of magic power. At once, survey team was formed. They examined Ancadi's oasis while assuming the worst situation in their mind, and as they thought, the oasis had been polluted.
Naturally, the oasis is a lifeline for a country located in the middle of the desert, so the guarding and maintenance were strictly managed by the one in charge. Thinking about it normally, it was not an exaggeration that it was impossible to take out the guards of Ancadi and poisoned the oasis even with all prepared measures.
From where, how, who… The survey team could only tilted their heads, but more importantly, because the stock of water from two days ago were not plenty, they didn't have any more water to use. Thus, it resulted with them having no other ways to save those infected from drinking the polluted water.
However, it wasn't like there wasn't any other method — there was a method to heal those infected. The method needed a mineral called "Serene Stone." This "Serene Stone" is a special mineral hat carried an effect to calm the magic power's activity and a small amount of this valuable mineral could be harvested in the northern rock zone near «Guryuu-en Great Volcano». If the "Serene Stone" was made into powder and drunk, it would be able to calm the rampaging magic power inside the bodies of the infected.
Even so, the northern rock zone was too far that it needed at least one month of travel using carriage. Moreover, Ancadi's adventurers, especially those capable of entering «Guryuu-en Great Volcano»'s dungeon, harvesting "Serene Stone," and returning, had already fallen to the disease. Half-assed adventurers could not even able to go through the desert storm wrapping «Guryuu-en Great Volcano». Besides, even if there were people with power to do so, they also did not have any stock of water safe to use, so it was necessary to ask for help from the Kingdom.
The requested help asked for water that could temporarily relieved 270,000 people in the Dukedom of Ancadi, in addition to powerful people capable of going to the dungeon of «Guryuu-en Great Volcano». However, it was not easy to arrange powerful people capable of doing that. Even though the request from the Dukedom could not be disregarded, the Kingdom would rather choose to investigate Ancadi's current condition first. Furthermore, the Kingdom would also deliberately make the procedures as a slow one.
That's why, Zengain, the one in power, thought it was necessary for Viz to be the representative and directly asking for reinforcement.
Even though he could not put strength into his body, Viz put strength into his fist and hit his thigh. He seemed to have a strong sense of responsibility towards the people as the next Lord of Ancadi. He might also be mortified by how his bodyguards were annihilated when the Sandworms attacked.
However, it was fortunately the Sandworms hesitated to eat him due to sensing the disease. Though he was exhausted due to the disease, it was also what caused the Sandworms not to attack him and resultantly, he met Hajime's party. Life is where one is unable to know what would happen next.
Saying so, Viz bowed his head. Silence filled the vehicle for a while. The sound of sand carried by the wind and hitting the windows greatly resounded. Viz himself knew that as the Lord's representative, he should not easily bow his head to someone else, but he was so desperate not to let go of such good fortune.
All gazes moved to Hajime. Though they left the decision to Hajime, everyone's gazes, except Yue and Tio's, were obviously telling him they wanted to help. Especially Kaori; she could not disregard such a situation as a "Healer." Her gaze was petitioning him. However, Myuu was more direct.
She said while looking at him with a truly pure gaze. She seemed to believe Hajime could solve whatever the problem was, unconditionally. For Myuu, Hajime was her one and only hero. Towards Myuu, and Kaori's expectant gaze, "It can't be helped," Hajime shrugged his shoulders with wry feeling.
"Fufu," Shia and Tio chuckled at Hajime. Hajime immediately looked over his shoulder towards Yue, and Yue was… just the same as always. No matter what Hajime's decision was, she will lend him all of her might. Even without words, Yue's feelings were clearly transmitted to him. Hajime stroked Yue's cheek, and Viz his agreement to undertake the request.
To begin with, he had planned to go to «Guryuu-en Great Volcano», and he thought of entrusting Myuu to Ancadi at that time. After all, it wasn't right to bring along a four year old child into a Great Dungeon. As such, they didn't have any problem of procuring "Serene Stone" while conquering the dungeon, and there was no danger for Myuu, a child from demi-human race, since the source of the rampaging magic power disease was known. In the end, it was a problem Hajime could solve while completing his own agenda.
The words that Hajime was capable of securing the water for several hundred thousand people made Viz dubious, and it was natural to doubt it. However, even without transporting it, Hajime had a method to obtain water. It was to collect the moisture in the atmosphere using water element magic.
Of course it might be impossible for an ordinary magic-user, but by his side was the rare magic genius, Yue. Moreover, Yue had many means of instantly recovering her magic power. Also, Viz or Randzi would still have enough time to go to the Kingdom to ask for help again if they regained their physical condition and took the remaining Serene Stone in Ancadi along.
While being surprised once again from how four-wheeler moved in high-speed as if it was sliding in the desert, Viz wondered why a "God's Apostle" like Kaori was alone accompanied by the adventurers, why a child of Sea-dweller tribe called Hajime, a human, Papa, why they got along with someone from Rabbitman tribe, why a black-haired blooming woman made a disgusting smile though she being abused, but his chest was heated by the hope that came into his view.
Within the fluttering brown sand, the Ancadi they arrived at, just like Neutral Commercial City of Fhuren, was surrounded by wall and a milk-white one in this case. The outer wall and buildings were milky white in color, which created a beautiful contrast with the brown-colored outside world.
However, what differed from Fhuren were the pillars of light coming from the enclosing, irregular-shaped wall, which climbed towards the heavens. The pillars of light joined together in the sky, forming a gigantic dome, covering the entirety of Ancadi. At times, it was as if the surface of water had something thrown into it; ripples were appearing, creating a mysterious and beautiful spectacle.
Apparently, this dome was preventing sand from entering the city. And although large sand storm sometimes appearing in time of full moon, the dome made none of the sand entered Ancadi and it was only looked like a cloudy weather from inside.
Hajime's party entered Ancadi from the shining, huge gate. Even a magic barrier was erected on the gate to not let sand entered. The gate guards, though surprised by seeing magic-driven four-wheeler, they didn't have energy to question it because of the gloomy atmosphere surrounding Ancadi; they seemed to have given up. However, when they noticed the next Lord sitting on the back seat of four-wheeler, they stood in attention, seeming to regain their energy as soldiers.
Ancadi's entrance gate was located in higher elevation. It seemed to be built in consideration of letting visitors to enjoy Ancadi's beauty.
Hajime's party were certainly admiring its beauty. The oasis in the east was glittering while being reflected by the sunlight, and a lot of lush green vegetations growing, surrounding it. The water from the oasis was flowing within the town like rivers and there were small boats moored here and there even though it was in the middle of desert. Lush green plazas were set up around the town which made one understood how spacious the city is.
On the north was the farmland. To prove the story of Ancadi's abundance of fruit production, Hajime could see numerous amounts of fruits growing as far as his "Farsight" could see. To the west side was a big, palace-like building with pure white color unlike the other buildings which were milky white. The impressiveness and scale made one understood that this is the dwelling of the Lord. Boorish looking buildings were lined up around the palace in order which was likely to be the government ward.
While it was a desert nation, it was also just like a capital of water… that's how Dukedom of Ancadi is.
Normally, this place would be actively doing business for fruits since it was the relay point from Elisen. Moreover, it was a popular place for sightseeing and should've been filled by vigor and clamor. But now, it was covered in a gloomy atmosphere. There were only few people on the street and no store was in business. All of the doors were firmly shut, as if they were quietly waiting for the storm to pass, crouching. The silence ruled the town.
The party nodded at Viz's words, and they advanced with the oasis as the background.
Entering the place using Viz's face as a pass, Hajime's party entered the Lord's, Randzi's, office. They heard the Lord was pretty weakened, but apparently he had used a lot of healing magic and medicine, and now was working in vigor.
Randzi was surprised that his son, who departed to the Imperial Capital to ask for help, had returned. Just like the workers inside the palace, Randzi was pop-eyed seeing his son's state.
It wasn't strange. After all, Viz was floating mid-air at the moment.
More accurately, he was in a falling prone state while being carried by a Cross Bit in mid-air. Viz was severely weakened, and although Kaori's healing magic managed to help him keeping his consciousness, he could not walk by himself. When Kaori couldn't bear with it any longer and tried to help, "Ah, Apostle-sama, for me…," Viz blushed and began to watch Kaori with moistened eyes. Thus, Hajime forcefully made the Cross Bit carried him.
Incidentally, it made it seemed Hajime was jealous. Thinking so, Kaori's cheeks were reddened and she took a peek at Hajime, but it was simply because Hajime didn't want to create another Kouki or Hiyama.
Even though he was in such a miserable appearance, clinging to the Cross Bitt, Viz quickly finished explaining to his father. As the talk advanced, a butler-like person came bringing in a powdered form of Serene Stone which Viz drank, who was still receiving Kaori's healing magic. Thus, he was cured as if there was no obstacle to prevent him from being cured.
Even so, it was only a feeling; the toxin itself was still inside his body's liquid. It was simply the effect of Serene Stone doing its work. The toxin was merged with his body's liquid, so there was possibility of it being excreted, and there was nothing more that could be done.
Hajime issued instruction to all of the members. What Hajime's party needed to do was simple. Just like Viz's case, Kaori will use "Holy Ground" to extract magic power from the patients little by little and delayed the disease's progression using "Ten Thousand Heaven." The extracted magic power will be stocked inside Magic-Crystallization stones. Then, it will be carried to and used by Yue to create water once they were filled.
After he helped Yue create a reservoir, Hajime will go towards the Oasis. He was going to investigate the cause. He will solve it if he find the cause, but if not, he will just go to «Guryuu-en Great Volcano». It was such a plan.
Everyone nodded vigorously towards Hajime's instruction.
Currently, the Lord, Randzi, the guards, and his attendants went to a corner of the farmland area in northern part of Ancadi, followed by Hajime, Yue, Tio, and Myuu. The plain was almost three times of the 200 meters on four sides. Normally, it was the place where a certain crop was grown, but it was now in its resting period.
Currently, the dubious Randzi was staring dagger into Hajime's party expressing that if not for the emergency situation, they would receive capital punishment. Although he truly wanted to secure water, common sense told him Hajime's plan was an impossible one thus it couldn't be helped that Randzi was glaring at him.
However, his doubting gaze was instantly turned into an astonished after Yue used her magic.
A black, swirling orb immediately appeared above the farmland where her right hand was outstretched to. That orb changed its shape above the farmland, into a thin square which spread horizontally and the square was already around 200 meters in length. Thus, after a moment of stagnation, it fell to the ground without making a sound and casually crushed the ground.
The ground sunk due to the terrific pressure, and the earth tremored. It was as if the ground itself was screaming. After a moment, the 200 meters on all side of the farm that had received the supergravity pressure formed a huge reservoir with five meters in depth.
Hajime sneaked a look at Randzi and his subordinates, and every single one of them had their jaws dropped far that their jaws might have dislocated. Their eyes widened and seemed to pop. The impact was too strong that they turned speechless, all of them were shouting, "Huwwhuuattt—!?", in their minds.
Having activated Age of Gods magic with half of its output, "Fuu," Yue exhaled. Although her magic power was exhausted by suddenly consuming a large amount of magic, her expression did not change since she felt only a slight tiredness. Though it would be okay if she took the magic stored inside Magic-Crystallization stone just like the battle in Ul, she thought of keeping the magic power inside the Magic-Crystallization stone as much as possible because they were going to challenge «Guryuu-en Great Volcano» after this. Moreover, because they were not in a battle, Hajime used Yue's other method of replenishing her magic power.
Yue's body was swaying as if she was about to fall, but she displayed she didn't need to be supported. It was something she wanted to do, so she didn't want to fall because of this. Eventually, with a thud, Yue's body leaned on Hajime's arm.
From behind her, Hajime embraced Yue a little, and lifted her. This time he was embracing her from the front. Yue was smiling in joy, and answered his embrace by wrapping her arms on Hajime's neck.
Following that, "…Thank you for the treat." Then, she bit Hajime's neck.
Blood flowed from Hajime's body. Yue, absent-mindedly with moistened eyes, was licking Hajime's neck multiple times. Yue's amorousness despite her appearance was further increased when she sucked Hajime's blood. It made one think pheromones was discharged from all over her body, turning the atmosphere into one of a bewitchment.
The appearance of the beautiful little girl using her tongue to lick the scruff of Hajime's neck while making small, lewd, gasping sounds made everyone forgot to question Yue's race, when thinking normally, was actually the hateful, bloodsucker. The surrounding men were slouching. Only the Lord, as expected of a Lord, had recovered from his astonishment and stared daggers at Hajime's party. A lot of things were swirling inside his head. He thought they were being a little too arrogant, he thought of things seriously and his eyes became bloodshot.
Incidentally, though Tio also wanted to exhibit her pervertedness, she was completely blindfolding Myuu from behind because it was too early for Myuu, while being aroused herself. "Myuu can't see~," Myuu complained only to be hugged from behind and could not resist since her head was wrapped by breasts far bigger than Shia's.
Converting Hajime's blood into magic power using "Blood Conversion," Yue quietly separated from Hajime's neck after she licked it for once more. Then, she kissed Hajime's lips. Hajime and Yue were looking at each other with burning gazes and Ahem!, it ended with coughs. They came from Randzi, the Lord, and the slouching men. Thinking they overdid it, Hajime and Yue made wry smiles… then they turned around and began to kiss again.
The Lord's rebuttal made Hajime and Yue shrugged their shoulders in reluctance, leering at Randzi and the others who were irritated by their gestures, they began their work.
Hajime went into the reservoir, and took out the four-wheeler from "Treasure Box." Using land-leveling function installed in four-wheeler, he used "Mineral Separation" and coated the surface of the reservoir with metal so water couldn't be absorbed. After Hajime returned when he finished the coating, Yue thrust out her arm and used water element magic against the instant-reservoir.
It was one of the high-ranked, Water element magic which created a huge wave to crush the enemies. For an ordinary magic-user, though it was called a huge wave, it would only be a tsunami around ten to twenty meters, squarely. However, the number changed once Yue used it. A tsunami with width of 150 meters and height of 100 meters was created, immediately flowing into the reservoir. In the middle of it, she sucked Hajime's blood so many times to replenish her magic power, and thus, as much as half of her magic power was saved. However, there was also a limit on how much blood Hajime had.
Any further, he would become anaemic due to loss of blood, but Shia came at this time. In her hands were the Magic-Crystallization stones from Kaori. Although it was drained little by little, the magic power was drained from several thousands of patients. Thus, a large amount had been saved up. Not even two hours had passed since Kaori came to the medical center, but in such a short time, Kaori was able to treat a large number of patients. She certainly was also a cheat-like character.
Shia returned to help Kaori again and at the same time, Yue activated "Fissuring Wave" in rapid succession. Before long, the forty thousand square meters reservoir was filled with fresh, unpolluted water.
Dumbfounded, Randzi was staring at the surface of water before him, reflecting by the sunlight and glittering just like an oasis. He was speechless.
Although Randzi was still recovering from the shock, he knew what should be done, so his attitude completely changed and he sincerely said his gratitude to Hajime's party.
Hajime and the others moved straight to the oasis.
Unchanging, the oasis was beautifully glittering, reflecting the sunlight, and it did not seem to contain any poison.
Frowning, Hajime stared at a spot inside the oasis. Noticing his change, Yue tilted her head and asked Hajime with a doubtful expression.
The artifact Randzi spoke about was called "Cutter of What Intended," and it was actually the dome of light protecting Ancadi. It was a useful barrier that prevented sand from entering while allowing the necessity such as air and moisture to pass through, but the things capable of passing could also be decided by the setter. In addition, it was not just a simple barrier since it also had detecting function, and what was detected could also be set. By setting it in default, it was possible to detect whether one's soul was affected by a magic of dark element.
In other words, if it was set to "those who have malicious intent towards the oasis," the person who set it, Randzi, would know if the "Cutter of What Intended" was reacting to something. However, the Lord himself didn't know whether there was a hidden requirement. Incidentally, up until now, a lot of people had been going in and out during the examination while the guards had been off-duty due to the oasis being polluted already.
Having the oasis of Dukedom of Ancadi polluted, the appearance of Randzi clenching his fists in bitterness made one think he was indeed Viz's father. Looking at Randzi with narrowed eyes, Hajime laughed while understanding Randzi had misunderstood his words. Hajime's Magic Eye was certainly seen "something" releasing magic power in the bottom of the center of the oasis.
The thing that shouldn't be there made Randzi and the others agitated. Coming near the oasis, Hajime took out a 500ml pet bottle-shaped metal object from "Treasure Box" and supplied it with magic power. Next, he casually threw it into the oasis.
A huge explosive sound rang out accompanied by the oasis spouting a huge column of water. Randzi and his subordinates were once again slackjawed and pop-eyed.
Saying so, Hajime took out ten of the same thing and thrown them into the oasis. Following that, after several seconds, huge explosions and huge columns of water appeared all over the oasis.
What Hajime threw were the so called torpedo. Because the next Seven Great Dungeon over the Elisen, «Meljeenae's Seabed Ruin», was located at the bottom of the sea (according to the information from Miledi), Hajime made prototypes of weapons that could be used in the sea, the torpedo. He threw them because he now had the time and a place to experiment them. The result was, although it had a good amount of power, its homing and speed was not that good. Improvements were necessary.
The torpedoes were equipped with crystal created by Creation magic which was capable of "Specific Perception" and "Pursuit." They would run after the enemy, and once the enemy was locked, it would explode upon contact. What it meant was, something was inside the water, and he used the experimental weapons to chase after it.
Randzi was screaming because of the scenery of the oasis was gradually turning worse, but Hajime muttered without a care and moved out. Randzi, along with his subordinates clung to Hajime, desperately trying to stop him.
From Randzi's view who didn't know about the "something" seen by Hajime's Magic Eye, Hajime had suddenly threw out unknown objects which blasted the oasis one after another along with the pier and the fishes. It was a confusing situation since the barrier didn't see it as an evil, destructive action. Randzi couldn't conceal his confusion, however, he still desperately tried to protect the oasis.
Numerous tentacles came out of the water cutting the wind, and it attacked Hajime and the others. Immediately, Hajime intercepted it some using Donner-Schlag and the tentacles coming out of the water were blown off. Yue froze them while Tio used fire to evaporate the tentacles.
As Randzi and his subordinates looked at the oasis, wondering what happened, but they were once again astonished by the spectacle of something appearing from the oasis. They thought the surface of the water raised because of anger from Hajime's bombing. It kept rising up and became a little mountain with the height of around ten meters.
Randzi muttered with a blank expression, but his words were resounded clearly.


Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), such as Staphylococcus capitis, are major causes of bloodstream infections in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Recently, a distinct clone of S. capitis (designated S. capitis NRCS-A) has emerged as an important pathogen in NICUs internationally. Here, 122 S. capitis isolates from New Zealand (NZ) underwent whole-genome sequencing (WGS), and these data were supplemented with publicly available S. capitis sequence reads. Phylogenetic and comparative genomic analyses were performed, as were phenotypic assessments of antimicrobial resistance, biofilm formation, and plasmid segregational stability on representative isolates. A distinct lineage of S. capitis was identified in NZ associated with neonates and the NICU environment. Isolates from this lineage produced increased levels of biofilm, displayed higher levels of tolerance to chlorhexidine, and were multidrug resistant. Although similar to globally circulating NICU-associated S. capitis strains at a core-genome level, NZ NICU S. capitis isolates carried a novel stably maintained multidrug-resistant plasmid that was not present in non-NICU isolates. Neonatal blood culture isolates were indistinguishable from environmental S. capitis isolates found on fomites, such as stethoscopes and neonatal incubators, but were generally distinct from those isolates carried by NICU staff. This work implicates the NICU environment as a potential reservoir for neonatal sepsis caused by S. capitis and highlights the capacity of genomics-based tracking and surveillance to inform future hospital infection control practices aimed at containing the spread of this important neonatal pathogen.

Cuong Vu - Vu-Tet (Artistshare, 2007) ***½
Wednesday, December 19, 2007 Fusion No comments
Cuong Vu is a young trumpeter with a clear musical vision. His integration of rock-influenced rhythms and melodies with a jazz line-up and electronic transformations leads us indeed into new territory. It's not jazz, it's not fusion, it's not rock. On Vu-Tet he is joined by his regular band members Ted Poor on drums and Stomu Takeishi on electric bass, but also by Chris Speed on sax and clarinet. The music is at times very close to Speed's musical approach without the "Balkan" influences, or not too far away from Jim Black's albums either, with long melodic unisono lines between trumpet and sax, supported by a hard-hitting pumping rhythm section, which is capable of complex rhythm changes and high speed deliveries. It's all very well done, nicely orchestrated, yet to my taste a little too polished, which goes at the expense of the spontaneity you expect from jazz. Especially the slower pieces could have had some more roughness, some claws, more emotional outbursts. After the "spacy" intro, the album really starts with some magnificent musical agitation on "Accelerated Thoughts", which really demonstrates the capabilities of the four musicians and of Vu as a composer, it moves over some slower pieces to the real highlight of the album "Never, Ever, Ever", wich will certainly appeal to fusion fans, but then it dwindles down to soft, even mellow melodies in the last two tracks, all nice and beautiful. Cuong Vu should maybe listen closely to Tomasz Stanko - his sense of melancholy leads him to create nice and beautiful melodies too, yet Stanko always manages to get some superior deeply-felt raw emotions in his music. Stanko lays himself bare, naked and vulnerable, and that's probably the toughest challenge in music. If Vu can take this hurdle, he can become really great, because he has loads of talent (or maybe he should just stop playing with Pat Metheny).
His CD with all the extras can be downloaded since December 17 from Artistshare.
The Artistshare website is certainly one to check out. The concept is that the musicians directly release their music through the site, offering even possibilities for interaction during the creative process. Apart from the music itself, you get sheet music, commentary by the musicians on the music they create, e-mail exchange and other insights.

When people think of Hispanic food, they think of tamales, enchiladas, tacos, and empanadas. However, recetas from the broad group of cultures that are referred to as Hispanic, a group which includes Mexicans, Peruvians, and many others, according to Pew Hispanic, are much more varied than the fast-food fare we're offered here in the States. Not only are Hispanic cuisines known for hearty, simple dishes like arroz con pollo and ceviche, they're also increasingly well known for their recetas de postres, their recipes for desserts.
Delicious food is one of the few things that can cross every culture on the planet. Whether someone grew up speaking English, and says "food recipes," or they grew up speaking Spanish and say "recetas de comida" will never matter when it comes to making and enjoying great food. The good news is that there is a recetas de comida guide that everyone can enjoy, no matter what culture they are from!
While these recetas de comida are centered around Hispanic foods like empanadas, enchiladas or tamales, that does not mean that they cannot be for everyone else! Some people may feel like they will not enjoy Hispanic food because of its reputation for being hot and spicy. Others may just be afraid to try something new. The good news is that there are recetas de comida for every kind of palate.
There are food recipes, or recetas de comida for fans of chicken, shrimp and fish. Those that are looking for delicious dessert and cake recipes will also find more than enough to satisfy their hunger cravings. With recipes that are easy to follow and fun to learn, anyone can have a great time introducing their family and friends to these timeless foods.


More than ever before, design is at the core of the national dialogue about improving our educational systems. With its new Verb line of furniture, Steelcase wants to prove that physical collaboration is just as important as the curriculum.
Don't get us wrong–at the time, we certainly appreciated that easy A+ in Mrs. [insert teacher's name] seventh-grade geology course. What we didn't appreciate, however, was the hour-long drone delivered at the front of the class while we took notes (or dozed off) in the confines of our rigidly gridded desks.
Steelcase's new line of furniture, called Verb, makes classroom learning a lot more interactive: The main feature is a series of interchangeable whiteboards that can be attached to student tables, or to rolling easels or an instructor's station. With the new line, which started shipping in November, teachers are better able to remove the physical barriers of static furniture and employ a more fluid model of teaching. For example, after a 15-minute lecture, a group of students can hitch the whiteboards onto the sides of their table to brainstorm and jot down ideas. After the collaboration, the whiteboards can stand upright on the tables during quizzes to provide separation between students.
With Verb, Steelcase is tackling an issue that has been somewhat left behind in the ongoing transformation of the classroom. Thanks to innovators like Khan Academy and Chegg, the traditional modes of learning in secondary school and higher education are being cracked wide open with new course formats and technologies that improve convenience, accessibility, and individualization for students. But recent studies have shown that the design of the learning environment has a huge impact–as much as 25 percent–on a student's annual academic performance, which exposes a critical mismatch between pedagogy and its physical motif.
This is Steelcase's second product to address the issue–the first was the Node chair, a personal workspace with a swivel seat to give students more mobility. "One of the key things that's driving the changes is a better understanding of how students learn best, and of how the brain works," says Sean Corcorran, Steelcase's general manager of education solutions. In developing the Verb line, his team worked closely with design firm Ideo, whose designers aided them in observing class sessions at schools and built prototypes that were used in classes taught on Steelcase's campus. Corcorran says Steelcase is modifying the Verb line to be used in other learning environments, such as corporate offices.

Cracks appear in the PUK-KDP strategic relationship
Written on April 28, 2012 by Editor in KRG, Kurdistan
By Mufid Abdulla:
For years, members of the Kurdistan Region's ruling parties got along so well that you'd never have guessed the two parties fought a bloody civil war in the 1990s. Today, however, former friends are in danger of again becoming enemies.
The architects of the 'strategic relationship' – Iraqi president Talabani of the PUK and Kurdistan Regional president Barzani of the KDP – have recently disagreed on several issues, and especially on the dispute between the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the Maliki government. Barzani has accused Iraqi prime minister Maliki of being a dictator while Talabani sees Maliki as a partner. It would probably now be wise for Barzani and Talabani to assume their relationship is on a downward trajectory.
Barzani's attack on Maliki was criticised by the PUK leadership and, in turn, Talabani's recent interview by Al Jazeera was criticised by Barzani's advisor Faisal Dabag. He told Hawler newspaper that he had told Talabani: "The creation of a Kurdish state may be a dream but this doesn't make us hapless". That was his response to Talabani's claim that independence for Kurdistan is a poetic dream. The PUK leadership then basically told Dabag to shut up.
The nasty war has spread to members of parliament in Baghdad who have been exchanging cheap insults on Facebook and in the Iraqi press. Barzani's people and Talabani's friends have become more openly critical of each other's failings. It got bad enough for the President of Kurdistan to feel compelled to issue a statement on Facebook on 26th April, urging the parties' members to desist. On the same day he met Talabani in Hawler to discuss several issues: these recent tensions must have been on their agenda.
The splits have emerged as next year's general elections get closer. It was not so difficult to contain tensions when the going was relatively smooth for both parties. However, the recent dispute – compounded by untold errors and blunders on other issues – has weakened public trust and confidence in the parties' competency – crucial components of their reputations.
A recent study published by independent newspapers in Kurdistan concluded that both parties have lost half a million votes over the last three years and that these votes will go to the opposition parties.
We should not exaggerate. The relationship between the two leaders is still a considerable distance from being poisonous. However, last month Talabani's main PUK headquarters was transferred to the KDP stronghold of Erbil. The new HQ is a giant building called the 'White Palace' and it has cost the PUK tens of millions of dollars. Apparently Talabani hopes to revitalise the PUK in Erbil and regain the ground lost there over the last several years.
The strategic relationship between the two parties hasn't met the hopes of the people but rather it has enabled the parties' members and cronies to share between themselves the wealth and resources of the south of Kurdistan.
However, things have changed over the past few weeks. The cronies are worried that their snouts will be removed from the public trough after the next election and the two parties are becoming more conscious of each other's remarks and criticisms.
Their relationship has not served the nation well and now their former cosiness has been replaced with disunity and distrust.

Baqi Barzani
Talabanis constant nonsense pertaining to Kurdish independence right will no longer be brooked. Should he continue his unchanged approach, we will exert all pressure, all viable resources at our disposal and all our political connections to discredit, delegitimize, deprecate, denounce and disgrace him to the fullest extent possible both nationally and internationally.
He is about to disappear from the political scene regardless, however, it would be in his best interest to do so without further inflicting damages to Kurdish cause and struggle.
His untiring efforts to further Iran's political interests and objectives are some other memorable and truly praiseworthy legacies he will leave behind in Kurdish chronological book.
His son, Qubad Talabani, the so-called Kurdish nation rep to the US, in lieu of advising his father to cease rebuffing and champion Kurdish independence, is busy throwing in personal parties in Washington every night.
These are our leaders and worse, why do some people despite being sentient, continue to blindly and obstinately yet listen and follow him? Respect and love does not imply he can take any action on his own and articulate whatever he wishes. As the head of state, he equally carries some responsibilities that he is obligated to perform. What steps has this president taken take so far to unify Kurdistan apart from antagonizing with KDP and consistently taking Iran's side?
When will our nation wake up for god sake?

Virginia Politics
Public broadcaster objects to Va. budget cuts
By Laura Vozzella
Laura Vozzella
Local reporter covering Virginia politics
The head of WVPT in Harrisonburg plans to urge Virginia lawmakers to reject Gov. Bob McDonnell's plan to eliminate public broadcasting from the state budget.
"[W]e will make our case with the General Assembly for funding the unique and valued services WVPT and our public broadcasting partners throughout Virginia provide," David Mullins, president and general manager of the station, said in a statement released Wednesday.
"We understand that in this environment, the Governor has some tough decisions to make. However, this complete elimination of funding will have a direct impact on teachers, students and schools."
McDonnell's proposed $7 million cut to public broadcasting statewide would cost WVPT about $420,000 a year.

If you've been reading up on the side effects of osteoporosis medications, you have undoubtedly heard about osteonecrosis of the jaw, and osteonecrosis and Fosamax in particular. In fact, some law suits are underway against the makers of Fosamax (Merck) due to this horrible side effect.
Osteocrenosis and Fosamax have an unpleasant but inescapable link. First observed in connection with the drug around 2003, osteonecrosis of the jaw is not merely a bothersome side effect. It's really gruesome and can result in disfigurement of the jaw and face. The jaw bone begins to die and the flesh begins to decay away from the area, exposing the bone to more infection. It's extremely difficult to treat, and may involve removing segments of the jaw itself.
How does Fosamax do this? First, let's take a look at how osteonecrosis happens.
Generally speaking, osteonecrosis of the jaw (and any other bone or joint) results from an inadequate blood supply to the area. The loss of blood to the bone means that the usual remodeling can't take place; blood carries the osteoblasts and osteoclasts to your bones and joints. Various causal factors can come into play to cut off the blood supply to a particular bone or area of bone, from illness to injury to medication.
Enter Fosamax, a bisphosphonate that is intended to increase bone density and decrease the symptoms of osteoporosis. It has a long list of side effects already, and it looks like yet another one can be added. A study conducted at the University of Washington indicated that Fosamax may cause circulatory problems, specifically atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) leading to stroke.
Could it be that this affect Fosamax has on circulation could be a contributing factor to Fosamax and osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ)? Stroke results when circulation is cut off to the brain, usually due to a blood clot (fibrillation can result in blood clots). The upper jaw is certainly near the brain – could there be a connection? It's worth considering.
While the fibrillation-stroke-ONJ connection has not been firmly established, the connection between Fosamax and cases of ONJ is far more solid. A University of Southern California School of Dentistry study concluded that 4% of its dental patients who were taking Fosamax developed osteonecrosis of the jaw. Before you think that 4% is no big deal, remember that premarketing trials showed that Fosamax reduces the risk of hip fracture from 2% to 1%. And they call this success!
Fosamax lowers the bone turnover rate by suppressing remodeling. Here is the key to the connection between Fosamax and osteonecrosis of the jaw: bone remodeling is essential to bone health, and suppressing that remodeling adversely affects the health of the bone. This artificial process may force bone density, but at what price? If an osteoporosis patient who is taking Fosamax goes in to the dentist for a tooth extraction or denture fitting, he or she will experience some trauma to the teeth and jaw area. Normally, blood flow brings healing nutrients and bone-building cells to the traumatized area, speeding healing and replacing any injured or unhealthy bone. But in patients taking Fosamax, this basic body healing system is awry. If the traumatized jaw bone cannot heal itself via remodeling, it begins to die.
It's just not worth it to take Fosamax or any bisphosphonate, especially when there is a viable, all-natural alternative that doesn't have horrible side effects. With the Save Our Bones program, you won't have to worry about any negative effects to your jaw bone or any other bone. The connection between Fosamax and osteonecrosis of the jaw will be severed if you simply refuse to turn to drugs and seek natural methods of healing. Save Our Bones is absolutely effective, and you don't have to risk anything to do it, much less such a horrific side effect.
i feel firm that if my Dr tries to put me on a bone building drug" I don't want it" I'll do calcium vitamin D & even horomones with exersize. I've had severe pain driving in the car. I just got my report, my dr left early Friday. I know what I'll take & what I won't. Is there a problem with tasking horomones? Please tell me ? I stopped my peroid at about 45 & I'm 60 now & found I'm at high risk for fracture!
Risk versus benefit… but to properly weigh the two, the doctor and patient need reliable and accurate information!
The prescription drug Fosamax (the generic is alendronate sodium) is a medication which has been prescribed to hundreds of thousands of postmenopausal women to treat osteoporosis and help increase bone mass thereby reducing the chance of spinal or non-spinal fractures. Fosamax has also been prescribed to increase bone mass in men with osteoporosis. Brand name Fosamax is manufactured in the United States by Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. In about 2008-2009, Fosamax became widely available in its generic form (alendronate sodium).
At the end of 2013, Merck settled with about 1,200 plaintiffs alleging that Fosamax caused them to suffer osteonecrosis of the jaw ("ONJ"). ONJ is a rare condition in which the patient suffers degeneration and deterioration of the jaw and often necessitates surgical repair with bone grafting. This recent settlement requires a total of about $27.7 million to be paid by Merck. Before anyone feels bad for Merck, he or she should also know that some researchers estimate that Merck "earned" about $3 billion (with a "b") in 2007 from Fosamax. There are still many unsettled suits.
While alendronate sodium does have some appropriate indications, there are serious side effects which can occur. Most of the lawsuits focus on one of two harms – femur fractures or osteonecrosis of the jaw. Each is treated differently by many of the lawyers handling these cases. If someone has taken brand name Fosamax and suffered either of these harms, he or she should immediately consult with his or her physician and then consult with an attorney who is experienced in handling such a matter.
Has anyone had muscle and joint pains after second year of receiving Reclast? How long did they last? I won't be having anymore osteoporosis "drugs".
started me on actonel and then fosamax since I was about 52 years old.
GOOD HEALTH UNTIL I STARTED ON THE FOSAMAX !

Mommy Lessons 101: Free Job Motivations!
I am always looking for ways to get my kids motivated to help out around the house. I bought a Melissa & Doug Deluxe Magnetic Responsibility Chart. that worked for a while and we loved it, but I've found as a mom you need to have variety and change up the routine periodically or they get bored with it. So I was happy to find a job motivation that was free! Once we need variety again... I'll go back to the job chart.
I know which jobs the kids have finished when they turn the colored end upside down. My kids know they have to have all the colors down by the end of the day or sooner if they want to play with friends. The kids sticks vary by age, obviously, but they all have a "give mom a hug". Personally, it's my favorite!
I made these same jars last summer for my kids and they are fantastic. They work like a charm.

Exchange visitors on the viticulture program will be involved in the process of cultivating grapes. Many elements have a direct effect on a vineyard (sun, soil, drainage) that determine the quality of the grape and the wine it produces. On a viticulture training program, you will have the opportunity to learn most aspects of the vineyard including; sampling, grape growing, canopy management, spraying programs, and harvest intake.
On the viticulture training program, you will learn how the climate and soil of the vineyard has a significant impact on flavor, and how certain grapes will flourish under specific climatic conditions. You will also gain knowledge of how soil affects the character of the grape, and gain hands-on experience with proper canopy management practices, such as vine support and trellises.
April through December (depending on location).

Since beginning my writing journey in 2006, I have written hundreds of Bible studies, many for the youth group I teach.
From 2008-2012 I wrote and answered letters from all over the world for Global Media Outreach, which is an arm of Campus Crusades for Christ.
I have written articles for numerous online publications, such as Lovely Christian Romance.com and FaithWriters.com. My Christian fiction has won awards such as, Behold, He Makes All Things New and A Sheep Before Her Shearers.
I have been published in print as the author of both the prologue,epilogue, and back cover in the 2014 edition of "Trials and Triumphs," a book consisting of 40 life changing Christian testimonies.
Forty true stories lie naked on the pages of this book like an open wound, pounding and pulsing to the rhythm of forty heartbeats. The words themselves may bleed and spill over with each turn of the page. Though limbs have been severed, lives have been changed, all to the glory of the King of Kings, Jesus Christ. When God told Noah He was going to make it rain for forty days and forty nights, Noah didn�t build the ark with comfort in mind. Noah�s goal was to be confident it would weather the storm. Nor did the forty people, who tell their stories in this book, have comfort in mind when they built their lives around Christ. This is exactly why they, like Noah, keep their faith in spite of torrential downpours. Jesus doesn�t remove the disturbances; He is the shelter in the meanwhile.


I knew it would happens soon. The wind was starting to kick up, and the grapevine was turning vibrant!
But in no time, every leaf would be gone. So it was time to RUN outdoors to take one last shed shoot of the season… fall style.
But what enticed me out there the most was a recent, abundant mother lode of pretty pumpkins and fall chrysanthemums from a local farm. Take that tour HERE.
The shed was my first target. I dashed out there with a mum in hand, but the grounds were so messy, I decided I'd do the front door first. Faster!
Oh I had fun! When I picked out all those mums and pumpkins, I had the front of the house colours in mind.
The blue front door is such a great contrast of temperature and tones against those gorgeous, warm reds!
Grabbing every galvanized bucket I had, with a few rusty junk relics and such for good measure, the flowers and pumpkins were layered for varying height.
I mean, with the size of that gorgeous salmon coloured chrysanthemum, what more do you really need?!
The giant spring was found at a shopping trip at Rusty's.
My front doorway is very fall happy!
And then it was time to revisit the shed.
On this given day, as I wrote above, the grapevine leaves were falling FAST.
And just as I started to go find the rake, I stopped.
So I plunked a salmon mum on the potting bench, and went for it. Au natural. I did not touch a thing.
I love how the grapevine wraps around the entire front and top of the garden shed.
Chaotic fall, I love you so.
Potting shed sign tutorial is HERE.
You can see this all staged up for summer HERE.
Sawhorse potting bench tutorial is HERE.
Just goes to show, nature truly does it best. Bed head and all.
Have all your leaves dropped yet?
Wow! That's some beautiful natural beauty.
You have so many neat elements of surprise at your place and those mums are gorgeous. Don't forget when they're done blooming you can plant them in a flower bed. Just cut them back to the base and they'll grow back next season. Mine normally bloom again from June – Fall. Grapevine – Love it I'm thinking Christmas there… I think I need to plant grapes too. Enjoyed!!
I enjoyed your seasonal display and I am glad you let Mother Nature rule. You have such a unique touch. If I put that stuff out it would just look like junk. I love your blog.
My yard is a blaze of red and orange right now. It is such a pretty time of year….of course in a couple of weeks we will be putting out Christmas.
There wasn't a tutorial for the FALL blocks. Would love to see one. Thanks.
where I made the blocks. Sorry about the error, and so glad you asked!
I love nature au-naturel and your mums are fabulous. I do plant mine in my garden. But to get them to bloom in abundance in Fall I cut them back by half in early July and they have a heavy bloom in Fall without getting too tall and leggy otherwise mine flop over from the weight of the heavy bloom. You can also keep them in the pot, I have some still in their pots and I treat them the same, cut them back by half in early July and they are blooming away still.
I love your potting shed. If it ends up missing one day, come to Michigan, it may be in my backyard. Oh, and a few of those gorgeous mums may be missing too.
Love these shots.. Gorgeous. You know how to capture fall.
I love your front door/porch, as well as your shed. Nice job!
Mother nature is its own best decorator. It's awesome you found a teal pumpkin. I have never seen one. Rare. The photos of your yard are really wonderful. Fall is my favorite season. The climbing vine is beautiful.
These colors are really a treat for my eyes!! Love..love..love!!
