Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous - Albert Einstein
Unlike most people on this site, writing is not my ultimate passion. I do really like it though, and I always have new ideas for stories, so that's why I'm here. To allow some of my plot bunnies to be released.
And to smother myself in romance.
I have a Tumblr dedicated to my stories, where I post sneak peeks and drawings of characters and answer questions about my stories, those kinds of things. The current URL is feathers-in-the-night
I've been accused of being an evil writer in the past with all my cliffhangers and the suffering of my main characters. Seriously, I don't know what ya'll were expecting, my username literally has the word schadenfreude in it.
My favourite fandoms are: Lord of the Rings, DC Cartoons/comics, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Wicked the Musical, and Assassins Creed III
I have many other movies/tv shows, books ect. I really enjoy and read lots of fanfics from, but those are the big five.
As of November 12. 2019, this profile is in hiatus. I'm busy and its been years since I've really felt that passion for writing. I've enjoyed my time here on fanfiction.net so much, but it's time for me to move on. Thank you to all my readers and supporters, you made writing worth it.
My stories:
Revenge:
Not my best work. It was spawned from a frustration with the lack of good quality Johnny Storm fics. This story kind of started out as an experiment where I basically just began writing and saw where it took me. Because I posted a chapter immediately after writing it, and because I didn't really have a planned out plot, the result is a story that is kind of inconsistent, and the quality is varied. My OC is a bit of a damsel in distress, and the villain is kinda cliché, and the plot is very basic. So, looking back on it, it's not a story I'll brag about, but I had a lot of fun writing it, and it helped me evolve quite a lot. I got to try out some things and figure out what works and what doesn't, and for that I'm grateful to the story.
Anyway, the story takes place after the second Fantastic Four movie and is about my own character Raven, who was secretly brought onto the space ship with them by her boss, Victor Von Doom. After getting affected by the storm too, she gains the power to control water, as well as absorb unknown amounts of it in her body. However, because she wasn't actually allowed on the ship in the first place, Doom hides her away in one of his labs, brainwashing her into thinking he is the good guy, and Reed is the one to blame for her misfortune. Because of the experiments done to her, as well as the brainwashing, she looses control of her abilites and can't touch water without immediately absorbing it. After Doom's death, his sister (my other OC) sets Raven loose with the orders to kill Reed Richards. She's taken in by the four heroes, who tries to somehow restore her mind and help her learn how to control her powers. Along the way, she befriends Johnny Storm, and the friendship evolves into something more over time.
The story is a third person narration with a shifting point of view between the main characters.
If you're looking for a cute story about two people becoming great friends and then something more in the end, this is probably an okay candidate. But if you're looking for a story of very good quality with depth and important life lessons or something like that, I wouldn't recommend it.
The story takes place in the Fantastic Four movies universe.
Guidelines to Loving an Incognito Superhero:
Ahhh, my baby that grew into so much more than I had imagined. This story has gotten so much longer, and received infinitively more attention than I had ever hoped to hope. The story was born during a 'What if' moment I had while watching Superman Returns. As I watched it, I wondered what would've happened if another person had been in the room while Lois and Richard compares Clark's physique to Superman's, and if this other person didn't simply dismiss their likeliness, but actually figured it out.
The story about Georgia, the awkward and intentionally invisible office girl who has a crush on her cute co-worker, who also happens to be Superman. After accidentally revealing that she's figured out his other identity, Clark starts spending time with her, in the beginning to make certain she is trustworthy, and they gain a strong friendship that ultimately becomes something more. To reach that 'more' they have to deal with many hardships, like Clark's feelings for Lois, as well as a gang of criminals bent on destroying anything and everything that Superman holds dear.
The story is written exclusively from Georgia's point of view in a first person narration, and focuses much more on Clark rather than Superman. It has a 'dear diary' kind of feel to it because it is the kind of story that is very much character driven as opposed to plot driven. It's the story about Georgia's relationship with Clark, Jimmy, and her best friend Diana, told through their everyday lives.
The amount of attention this story has gotten, and how extremely nice all my readers have been is absolutely incredible and I am truly grateful and so, so happy with this story.
The story takes place in a universe that is a mix between Superman Returns and Justice League Unlimited.
Feathers in the Night:
When I first started writing this story, I had no idea how big it was going to be. After how popular GTLAIS had gotten, I had kinda expected it to be the top of my fanfiction 'career'. I was wrong, because it turned out that Feathers would become even more popular!
It's my longest story yet, and my own personal favourite. I'm really excited about it because it's the first time I've ever written a story that takes place in a plot that's already established, as I am following the second season of the cartoon series Young Justice. This story my is not only longest, but also most reviewed work, having claimed the number one spot in OC story section in the Young Justice category.
The story of Morgan, a passionate and head-strong teenager who hasn't been dealt the best cards in life. When she turned thirteen, she found wings starting to grow out of her back and has kept them hidden ever since. Now, five years later, Nightwing randomly stumbles upon her one night in Gotham and sees the wings by accident. Only a week later, when her mother sees her wings and freaks out, Morgan runs away from home and is offered a spot on the Team. Soon, she finds herself in the middle of an alien invasion while slowly unearthing the origin of her wings and trying to ignore her steadily growing feelings for her mentor.
This story has been recieved so nicely, and because of my fantastic readers (and because the story ends on a very open note) I have begun writing a sequel!
The story is a third person narration with the point of view shifting between Morgan and Nightwing, though slightly more from Morgan's point of view.
The story takes place in the second season of the Young Justice cartoon series.

NONPROFITS: END OF YEAR DONATION LARGEST EVER BY SD PROCESSOR
Jensen Meat Donates 250 Tons of Plant-Based Patties to Feeding San Diego
By George Lurie
Part of Jensen Meat's record donation to Feeding San Diego.
Local nonprofit Feeding San Diego has received its largest food donation to date from San Diego-based Jensen Meat Co.
Jensen announced in late December that the company is donating 500,000 pounds of its new plant-based patties to the local hunger relief organization to be distributed throughout San Diego County by Feeding San Diego and its community partners, which include faith-based organizations, food pantries and other nonprofits.
Abel Olivera CEO Jensen Meat
Jensen Meat, a leading processor and marketer of high-quality ground beef products, has recently expanded into plant-based beef alternative product lines.
The company's products are sold through retail, foodservice and club store channels throughout the U.S. Fifty percent of the company's retail products are sold under the Jensen label.
The partnership between Jensen Meat and Feeding San Diego started in 2015. Jensen had donated over 40,000 pounds of food to the organization prior to the announcement of its record-breaking donation last week.
'Making an Impact in Fighting Hunger'
"We are proud of our longstanding support for Feeding San Diego in its mission to fight hunger," said Abel Olivera, CEO of Jensen Meat. "We're grateful to everyone who joined our initiative and helped us provide two million individual plant-based patties for people in need this holiday season. We hope that through this first plant-based initiative, we can make an impact in our communities in the fight against hunger."
Feeding San Diego works with local food manufacturers like Jensen Meat to rescue food that might otherwise end up in a landfill, for business reasons such as surplus or changed orders.
For this donation, Jensen Meat donated the 25 tons of patties as a new production line to share with the community. But Olivera said most of the company's donations are done to cut food waste.
Patty O'Connor Chief Supply Chain Officer Feeding San Diego
"Plant-based meat alternatives are high in demand right now, and we are pleased to be able to provide this product to those in the community facing hunger," said Patty O'Connor, chief supply chain officer at Feeding San Diego. "This product is high in protein and a great vegan option for those we serve. Generous food donors like Jensen Meat Company make our mission of ending hunger through food rescue possible."
New Law Kicked in Jan. 1
Instead of disposing of food, Feeding San Diego provides an opportunity for local businesses to give back to the community with their food donations.
On January 1, Senate Bill 1383 became law and now requires Tier 1 businesses that handle food to donate edible food to hunger relief organizations rather than sending it to the landfill.
SB 1383, which requires mandatory recycling of food scraps, yard trimmings and other organic waste kicks in across California on Jan. 1, 2022. The new law, passed by state legislators in 2016, is aimed at reducing methane emissions by removing millions of tons per year of organic material from Golden State landfills.
300 Community Partners
Feeding San Diego, which has almost 300 community partners, serves groups vulnerable to food insecurity, including low-income families, college students and military families and veterans.
The organization has arranged for ongoing deliveries of the plant-based patties to 22 of its partners, including South Bay Food Pantry, San Diego Rescue Mission and the North County LGBTQ Resource Center.
The patties will also be handed out at Feeding San Diego's Together Tour series of large-scale food distributions to be held throughout San Diego County in 2022.

Empty Hand Revolution
Cosmo & Chancho
Thanks for joining the Empty Hand Revolution.
After a classic eighties' childhood as a rancher's son in Texas, I attended University of Montana, then spent thirteen years as a campus pastor with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at Boise State University and the University of Utah. In 2009, my wife and I made the decision to jettison our lucrative day jobs and raise a family while I pursued full time work as a novelist and writer. Two sons and eight books later, we found ourselves living in Nampa, Idaho and taking our eldest boy to kung fu classes at Empty Hand Combat. The rest, as they say, is history. When I'm not donating my writerly efforts, I'm creating sci-fi and dystopian worlds for all ages to enjoy.
Thank You!	February 3, 2014

UK online video adspend rockets 40%
Digital spend in the UK rose by 15% to £6.4bn in the first half of 2018, fuelled mostly by a surge in video ads, according to the latest IAB data.
Spending on video during the six-month period rocketed by 40% year on year. This helped produce a healthy 20% increase in overall display adspend to £2.3bn.
The latest IAB UK and PwC Digital Adspend report also showed search has grown 15% to £3.3bn, commanding 52% of total digital spend, while classified remained flat at £726m.
The report now combines mobile and desktop adspend, the IAB said, due to the "maturation of the market", the IAB's chief digital officer Tim Elkington explained.
Elkington said: "With mobile devices accounting for 75% of all UK adults' time online, it is safe to assume smartphone penetration continues to contribute towards the 15% year-on-year growth in digital adspend reported today."
While the rise in video has been fuelled by an increase in consumer demand over the past three years, adspend has grown more slowly, according to data published by Zenith in June.
This has led to the cost of online video advertising "coming down substantially", with outstream video advertising accounting for over half of video spend in the UK last year.
People in the UK are spending more time watching long-form content on mobile devices as high-speed data transmission becomes cheaper and more reliable, Zenith's report added.

The new face of Optus: New branding and new plans
Optus reveals a fun new look
New mobile phone plans to be introduced
Attempts to reduce unexpected bill shock and hidden costs
Optus kicked off this week by revealing a complete restructuring in their branding and logo. The change aims to revamp the brand and reflect Optus' new mood and strategy to improve service and customer satisfaction. After reflecting on their current performance ratings Optus aims to develop stronger customer loyalty.
If you visit Optus' website a simple click on the new logo will take you to Optus' declaration to customers; a pledge of assurance; "A Declaration of Yes" as they have put it. Optus say that the word 'yes' is "a little word that we don't hear enough of these days" and they go on to declare that they will be improving their network and service, changing their mobile phone plan structures and ultimately striving to make customers feel good about the Optus brand.
The new can-do attitude and general positivity is reflected in the new design and graphics. The logo is now bright, fun and bubbly. And bubbly is meant quite literally here. The letterforms are informal and bubble-like in structure and the iconic 'yes' mantra is expressed in a speech bubble. This differs greatly from Optus' old logo which was formal, structured and quite cold. Optus have also done away with their use of animals in branding and have instead adopted a new friendly character name 'Ollie' who will be the new face of Optus' branding. Ollie is in the shape of a speech bubble and is warm and inviting and integrates nicely with Optus' new optimistic aesthetic.
The vivid change is just the beginning for Optus. Within the coming six to eight weeks the branding and logo will be splashed across Optus stores and advertising. More importantly however, Optus has dramatically restructured their mobile phone plans. Currently Optus mobile plans are structured with "included value" figures. For example on the $71 iPhone 5 plan you get $650 worth of "included value" to use on phone calls, MMS, 1300 numbers and the like. Optus plans to remove this and replace with included minutes so customers have a clearer sense of their usage, and more importantly how much usage they have left.
Optus also plans to remove expensive over quota data charges. Currently if a customer goes over the data usage included in their plan they are charged 25 cents per MB. An excess of 1GB costs the customer a whopping $250. Optus plans to remove this and instead temporarily move the customer up to the next tier plan by charging an extra $10 to the customers plan. The upgrade would be automatic and the customer could choose to permanently upgrade if they find they are constantly exceeding their plan's usage.
The dramatic restructuring aims to tackle customers experiencing unexpected bill shock. According to Optus managing director of customer division, Vicky Brady, 50 per cent of Optus customers in the last year had experienced an unexpected shock when they opened their bill. Changing the plans and how usage is calculated and billed aims to remove hidden costs and keep customers informed.
The new plans are to be called "My Plans" and they will be available next week from 1 July. It will be interesting to see impact that the rebranding and plan restructuring has on customer opinion and satisfaction. Particularly, it will be interesting to see if Optus succeeds in their aim to be seen as honest and fair. The features of the new mobile phone plans are unique and other telcos may follow if the initiative is successful.

The data covers a set of labour regulation indicators from 2018 on hiring, working hours as well as redundancy rules and costs to rank OECD and EU countries.
Labour market regulation tends to vary greatly between countries due to social, cultural and political differences. Rigidity is often associated with negative economic outcomes, including lower labour market participation and higher unemployment, a two-tier labour market, lower productivity as well as reduced job creation and labour mobility.
Despite this, all countries tend to follow the general principles of flexibility in hiring, employment contracts, minimum wages, working hours and dismissal procedures.

Caribbean ally joins Taiwan's Foreign English Teacher Program
August 23, 2016 August 24, 2016 taiwanwireservice.com Production
The Taiwan government has expanded its Foreign English Teacher recruitment program to include for the first time St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG), one of its diplomatic allies in the Caribbean.
It is first time since the start of the government-sponsored Foreign English Teacher (FET) recruitment program in 2005 that it has been opened to another country outside a core group of six -- the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
Under the Ministry of Education (MOE) project, certified teachers from those countries are recruited, in collaboration with local governments, to teach English at public schools in rural areas of Taiwan at the elementary and junior high level.
SVG, an English-speaking island country in the Eastern Caribbean, made a proactive effort to gain participation in the program and has been included this year on a trial basis after a comprehensive review of its teacher training and certification system, the MOE said.
"St. Vincent and the Grenadines has a rigorous teacher training program," an MOE official told CNA. "After a review, it was determined the country's training system was similar to Taiwan's," the official added.
The expansion of the FET to a seventh English-speaking country is also in keeping with the MOE's goal of developing "a more diverse learning environment for Taiwan students," the official said.
The first recruit from SVG, La Toya Williams, has already arrived in Taiwan and has completed a one-week orientation program in Taipei for some of the 80-plus teachers that the MOE sponsors each year in the FET program.
In September, Williams will begin a one-year contract, which will include a three-month probationary period, at Dahu Junior High School in Miaoli County.
Williams, 38, has more than 15 years' experience as a teacher and holds a teaching certificate from the SVG Teachers Training College, a bachelor's degree in Education from the University of Guadalajara in Mexico, and a master's degree in Technology Oriented Learning from the same university.
"Taiwan was not even on my radar," she told CNA. "I was informed about the FET program by a close friend who knows my passion for teaching and love for travel. I thought about it for only a few minutes before deciding to go for it."
Her selection to the FET program came after much discussion between SVG and Taiwan, which have had unbroken diplomatic relations for 35 years. "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of St. Vincent and the Grenadines approached my embassy one day with an initiative to send teachers to teach English in Taiwan," Baushuan Ger, Taiwan's ambassador to SVG was quoted recently as saying in a report by SVG-based iWitness News.
"I am very happy that in Taipei, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Labor have all given very positive responses to my embassy's recommendation."
In its efforts to deepen its relations with Taiwan, the government of SVG is hoping that Williams' inclusion in the 2016 FET program is just the start of many such exchanges that could be beneficial to both countries, according to SVG Minister of Education St. Clair Prince.
"It serves as a token of our attempt to give back to a friend who has given so much to SVG, especially in the area of education," Prince said in an e-mail interview with CNA.
"It is hoped also that when Williams returns to the classroom in SVG, she'll be able to use some of the methodologies and experience gained in Taiwan."
Before Williams' gets to that stage, however she will be looking to draw on another aspect of her cosmopolitan experience. "Because of my own experience learning Spanish in Mexico as a second language, I think I'll be able to relate to the Taiwanese students in my classes," she said.
Williams will now join a small group of Vincentians who have secured legal teaching jobs in Taiwan over the years although not in the government's FET program.

Does Cork Airport suck? are Shannon and Dublin too far away? try Kerry
By TheCork.ie on 22nd April, 2019 Comments Off on Does Cork Airport suck? are Shannon and Dublin too far away? try Kerry
By Mary Bermingham
mary@TheCork.ie
During the spell of wet weather this day last week (remember Monday? when everyone was wearing coats and jumpers again) we decided to do some summer holiday planning. Living in Cork our Airport of choice is Cork Airport, our second choice is Dublin Airport (2h 45mins drive), and our third choice is Shannon Airport (1h 45mins drive).
Before you say it, yes, we know that Shannon Airport is closer to Cork than Dublin Airport, but have you driven that painful road to Shannon recently? It is slow and requires concentration as you snake your way past Mallow, through Charleville, and onwards to Croom. It is a road which never seems to end #CorkToLimerickMotorwayRequired.
This time, during our search on Skyscanner, a fourth option arrived onto our radar, it is called Kerry Airport (it used to be called Farranfore, but the Kerry brand name is much more marketable!. After all, Farranfore is a village with a population of just 84 people).
We have all vaguely heard of Kerry Airport, but why should we care?
Kerry Airport with an address of Farranfore, Co Kerry (KIR / EIKY) is just 1h 30mins from Cork City, meaning that it's closer than Shannon Airport. Indeed if Cork Airport isn't a runner then it's the next closest Airport overall. I concede that the road from Cork to Kerry twists and turns, but somehow because you are in a scenic landscape it doesn't seem as bad as driving to Shannon. Plus, most Cork people are well used to driving to Killarney so that first section of the road from Cork to Killarney can almost be done on autopilot as muscle memory predicts the corners of the N22 from Macroom to Kilnamatra (or is it Kilnamartyre? this place has so many spellings!) to Ballyvourney. Indeed a spirit of Irishness and Corkness can be felt as the road twists like the nearby Sullane River. It's also a great road if you enjoy admiring high powered luxobarges driven by the wealthy who are ferrying their Anglosphere guests between their Kerry hideaway and Cork Elysian Apartment.
Tell me about Kerry Airport
Kerry is investing in its future. Just last month Kerry Airport announced the appointment of John Mulhern as new General Manager. His Cork related credentials are that his previous role was as Chief Operating Officer at the Mater Private Hospital Cork in Mahon Point from 2016. Traleetoday says "He played a pivotal role in turning what was a loss-making business into a very successful operation. He will be responsible for the effective delivery of all elements of airport operations within budget."
New COO has high ideas
On taking up the Kerry Airport role last month Mulhern said "Passenger numbers were up 9% in 2018, a newly refurbished Fire Station is currently under construction, the Gateway Bar and Restaurant have been refurbished and the magnificent new-look pre-boarding area in the departures lounge has led to an improved and more pleasant travel experience for outbound passengers. I'm looking forward to working with the Board to ensure that Kerry Airport remains a major gateway between Kerry and global commercial and tourism markets for many years to come,"
That's Gas!
Last month it was also announced that Babcock International is to open a helicopter base at Kerry Airport to service oil and gas exploration of the southwest coast. Babcock, formerly known as Bond Helicopters, have a similar base at Cork Airport where Eurocopter EC135 T2+ (H135) EI-KEL is based.
Kerry one of the few Irish Airports close to a Railway station (close we say, but not within the Airport itself!). Iarnród Éireann's Farranfore railway station is located 1.6 kilometres (0.99 mi) to the south with services to Killarney, Tralee, Mallow, Cork, Limerick Junction and Dublin Heuston.
But PR aside, back now to Kerry, and where can you actually fly to this summer?

Route from Kerry abroad for Summer 2019
There are the Summer Sun routes of Alicante in Spain and Faro in Portugal with Ryanair.com. It's not all about the sun with Berlin, Frankfurt Hahn, London and Dublin, all having direct flights to and from Kerry Airport.
Kerry Airport is the only airport in the region that offers flights to Germany with Ryanair flights to Berlin, every Wednesday and Sunday and to Frankfurt-Hahn on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.
Frankfurt Hahn Airport is equidistant between Frankfurt and Luxembourg so the opportunities to explore historical and cultural sites are vast.
Finally, if you must travel from Dublin Airport, then have you considered flying there from Kerry?
There are daily flights to Dublin Airport. In January 2018 Aer Lingus Regional, operated by Stobart Air, following a public tendering process was awarded with a Public Service Obligation contract, linking the airport with Dublin, for the next four years.
Irrespective of the above we have yet to use Kerry Airport 'in the flesh', so watch this space.
Will we have an article entitled 'Love Letter to Kerry Airport' this summer? or will we find out that it has just one shop selling overpriced sandwiches like Cork Airport in the 1960s?! #WatchThisSpace
Looking forward to our Kerry adventure…
Does Cork Airport suck? are Shannon and Dublin too far away? try Kerry added by TheCork.ie on 22nd April, 2019

Bridge Hewick is a village and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England. The village is situated on the River Ure, and approximately  east of the market town of Ripon. The population was recorded at less than 100 at the 2011 Census. Details are included on the statistics of the civil parish of Copt Hewick. North Yorkshire County Council estimate that the population at the 2011 census was 50, which had risen to 60 by 2015.

According to A Dictionary of British Place Names, 'Bridge Hewick' could be derived from the Old English 'brycg' for "at the bridge", with 'heah+wic', meaning a "high or chief dairy-farm". Hewick is recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Heawic", in the Hallikeld Hundred of the West Riding of Yorkshire. Listed for the settlement are three ploughlands and a meadow of one acre. In 1066 the lord of Hewick was Ealdred, Archbishop of York; lordship in 1086, after the Conquest, was held by the following archbishop, Thomas of Bayeux, who was also Tenant-in-chief to King William.

In 1837, Bridge Hewick population was 77. In 1870–02 Bridge Hewick was a township of  in the civil parish of Ripon, with a population of 89 in 18 houses. A chapel in Bridge Hewick was in 1826 described as "in ruins".

The Bridge Hewick local public house is the Black-A-Moor Inn. The Bridge over the River Ure is the starting point of a circular walk around Ripon known as the Sanctuary Way Walk.

The Pound Sterling to New Zealand Dollar (GBP/NZD) exchange rate strengthened on Tuesday as investors bet that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) will have to intervene in the currency market to temper the 'Kiwi's strength.
Earlier on Tuesday the New Zealand Dollar dropped to an almost five-week low against the US Dollar as the forecast for milk prices was reduced.
Dairy products are New Zealand's main export so after the Fonterra Cooperative Group Ltd cut its projection for milk values in the 2014-2015 period the 'Kiwi' broadly softened.
The commodity-driven New Zealand Dollar was already struggling against its US counterpart thanks to recent comments from RBNZ Governor Graeme Wheeler regarding the unsustainable and unjustified strength of the local currency.
The NZD/USD pairing shed 0.4% over the course of trading.
The Pound was also able to maintain a stronger position against the New Zealand Dollar in spite of some slightly dovish commentary from a prominent Bank of England (BoE) official.
Deputy Governor Ben Broadbent reiterated the International Monetary Fund's recent comments about the Pound being slightly overvalued. He also stated that unless the economic situation in countries like the Eurozone improved, the UK's economic recovery could slow up markedly.
Before the release of New Zealand's Building Permits figures the Pound Sterling to New Zealand Dollar (GBP/NZD) exchange rate consolidated gains as industry experts intimated that the RBNZ's recent comments about the local currency could be hints of the central bank's intention to intervene in the currency market to push it lower.
A survey conducted by Bloomberg News agency also estimates that the New Zealand Dollar will have weakened to 82 US cents by the middle of next year after dipping to 85 US cents at the close of 2014.
New Zealand's building permits figures had little effect on the currency market. Permits were shown to have increased by 3.5% month-on-month in June following a revised -4.4% decline in May.
The UK's Lloyd's business barometer could have an impact on GBP/NZD exchange rate movement in the hours ahead.
However, the day's major news will be the second quarter growth data for the US.
If the world's largest economy fails to expand by as much as economists are expecting in the second quarter of the year it will temper Federal Reserve rate hike expectations and could boost higher-risk currencies like the New Zealand Dollar.
Investors will also be looking out for the US ADP Employment Change report and focusing on the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee interest rate announcement.

Discrimination questions you can't afford to leave unanswered.
What types of housing discrimination are illegal?
In addition, some state and local laws prohibit discrimination based on a person's marital status or sexual orientation.
On the other hand, landlords are allowed to select tenants using criteria that are based on valid business reasons, such as requiring a minimum income or positive references from previous landlords, as long as these standards are applied equally to all tenants.
What are examples of housing discrimination?
Advertising or making any statement that indicates a preference based on group characteristic, such as skin color.
Falsely denying that a rental unit is available.
Setting more restrictive standards for certain tenants, such as higher income.
Refusing to rent to members of certain groups.
Refusing to accommodate the needs of disabled tenants, such as allowing a guide dog, hearing dog or service dog.
Setting different terms for some tenants, such as adopting an inconsistent policy of responding to late rent payments.
Terminating a tenancy for a discriminatory reason.

Q: Get a wav file from Google TTS API a question concerning Google Text-to-Speech (TTS) with PHP.

@$this->mp3data = file_get_contents("http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=utf-8&tl=".$lang."&q={$text}");

I have been able to access the Google TTS API and download mp3 files to my server. Unfortunately I don't get the mp32ogg programm installed on my server so I wanted to ask whether anybody knows if there is the option to download a .wav file directly from Google?
Just saving the resulting file as .wav didn't work as Firefox throws me a "couldn't decode this .wav file"
I would need it for Firefox support of HTML5 Audio.
Thanks for any help!

A: I don't know exactly what your final goal is, but have you tried using the "embed" tag instead of "audio"?
I use Firefox and replacing:
<audio controls="controls" autoplay="autoplay">
<source src="<?=$mp3?>" type="audio/mp3" />
<source src="<?=$ogg?>" type="audio/ogg" />
Your browser does not support the audio tag.
</audio>

with:
<embed src="<?=$mp3?>" type="audio/mp3">

got it working.
Let me know if it helps you out, I would like to see the finished project.

Hunger keeps me tossing and turning. I can feel the hours crawl by; my aching body knows that we have passed midnight by, and yet my foolish stomach keeps me awake with its demands.
Yet finally weariness takes over, and at last I can get some sleep, I can feel it coming. I lie in my hammock, gradually slipping into dream...(...lie in my hammock, gradually surfacing from a blood-dark pool of unconsciousness. Hell? Heaven? Neither? Does Hell smell like Akhbar's Iodine Ox Ointment? I move my lips to ask and AI! The PAIN! My face goes up in flame all over again.
No it doesn't. It just feels that way. I'm going to live. Bandages make it hard to open my eyes, the adhesive keeps one mostly closed but thank God I can see through it, I can see the vigas and the palm thatch roof, and the quirky flight of flies overhead that lazily sway and then suddenly dart, sway and dart, here and there like they have no idea where they want to go they just go anyway just like this stupid revolution, don't really know where we want to go just anywhere but here.
My hand steals up, I touch the thick pad of rags upon my face. Clean, someone changes it regularly. Someone has carried me to safety—to Cyran's hideaway? No, that lair has plastered walls and ceilings, I don't know where I've wound up, just someplace on the way, probably.
My enemy must've slipped--the gun in my mouth fired through the cheek. I can live. Oh thank you Jesus I can live! And not even maimed, not even hindered in much of any way, only scarred. Only hideously, grotesquely, permanently scarred.
Then the tears start, the pain and the weakness and the dread of what the mirror will have to show me sooner or later, the inescapable fact of something changed forever and it just starts with the face, it just freakin' starts with the face but the wound goes through and through.
A gentle stirring wakes me up before the dawn, hands trying to unlock my chain without disturbing my sleep. The moment my eyes open Alysha puts her knife against my throat. "I have no intention of setting you free," she hisses, "but you'll make better time if we put you on a lighter chain. We have a cache nearby for this one."
"Oh for pity's sake," I groan. "Alysha, can't you understand? I have absolutely no options at this point but to stick with the only human beings that I have access to in a completely unfamiliar wilderness."
"I'm supposed to take your word for that?" And she snaps a new chain on my collar. My limbs she leaves unimpeded. That's something, anyway. "Now, get some sleep while you can; we march again after breakfast. The troop has rested long enough."
Jarred by a spoon clanging on a pan as the dawn streaks through the trunks of trees, we wake to a terrific breakfast that Alysha has fixed, herself, before the light. The steaming bowl weighs heavy in her hands; she sets it down with a clunk and a splash. Colors mottle her misshapen face.
"Didn't your mothers tell you, always start the day's work with the best meal that you can?" The snares we set yesterday trapped some birds and a lizard; now every scrap of meat has gone into our unsweetened morning porridge, mingling their gravy with the turnippy gruel, along with herbs that Rashid has gathered on Alysha's orders--the best food I've eaten since Jee's place at the refinery-town.
The kids dive in, their eyes all gleaming, their giggles of delight almost a song. I have to admit that I don't hold myself back, either; I've tried to tell myself that the starvation rations we share don't mean that much to a trained agent, but it's gone on for days, maybe weeks, and hunger gnaws me more than I dare let myself know.
Then, just when we've all had our fill she brings out the surprise--dessert? How in the name of all the saints did Alysha come up with dessert? Well, full or not, we just have to dive in all over again. She has baked more catawlba into little pies of rubyberries, bird-fat, and honey.
Honey? For some reason my eyes travel to Damien, a dark Mountainfolk boy who speaks earnestly now with Kanarik, hunger in his verge-of-adolescent eyes that has nothing to do with food. Swellings mark his bare feet, dabbed with mud to draw the poison. That's where it came from.
Rashid asks with his mouth full, "I don't suppose you have any honey left over after cooking, do you?"
"Nope," Alysha says as she passes Marduk some more pie. "Used every last drop of it. Why?"
"Just that it's about the best wound dressing that money can't buy. Next time you run across some, let me know."
It catches me by surprise when my stomach begins to hurt. I have never before eaten until my stomach hurt; I once got very, very full on eclairs, but never more than that. Of course, my stomach has probably shrunk by now. I look at my fingers, sticky with honey and crumbs. Moving very carefully, I turn and look at the glazed-eyed satiation all around me, and then at Alysha, who watches over us with a certain grim and weary satisfaction. "What are you up to?" I ask.
"You will all go back to sleep for an hour, maybe two, before we hit the road." Road! I almost laugh at the colloquialism in these miles of vegetation. "Soon we ascend to the High Country. The terrain ahead has little food in it to forage, and it will burn up anybody ill-prepared. Why else do you think I have rested you all these days?"

Q: Xcode Swift ViewDidLoad I have two ViewControllers. When I press a button on the FirstViewController the SecondViewController shows up. When I press a button on the SecondViewController the FirstViewController shows up again. The problem is, that the View on the FirstViewController does not load again. The ViewDidLoad loop does not load again.
I want to create a loop, which checks a variable every single time the FirstViewController shows up.

A: viewDidLoad is only called when the view first loads. Sounds like you are looking for the viewDidAppear (or viewWillAppear) method which is called every time view has just been (viewDidAppear) or is about to appear (viewWillAppear).
So you're probably looking for either of those methods. You might want to look at the diagram on this page for more information

A: Put that code in viewDidAppear or viewWillAppear.

A: ViewDidLoad method call when you add an instance of UIViewController into Navgation Stack.
I assumed you already know about Navigation Stack.
When you display FirstViewController from SecondViewController it means you did one thing from two possible ways
1. You SecondViewController from Navigation Stack in this way ViewDidLoad of FirstViewController will never call because FirstViewController already loaded in the memory. In this case ViewDidAppear and ViewWillAppear will execute. Because these methods will always call whenever view is going to appear on screen.
2. You created another instance of FirstViewController on SecondViewController and push FirstViewController's instance on Navigation Stack. In this way a new instance of FirstViewController will be added and ViewDidLoad will automatically called. And a looped of FirstViewController and SecondViewController will automatically created.
Hopefully you understand now why ViewDidLoad method never called for you.


When planning your startup or growing your enterprise, you've got to first decide who your customers are and what value you can bring to them. Where are those potential customers hiding? What are your best market opportunities?
When you look at the overall economy, it looks pretty daunting. In fact it looks downright chaotic. You can look at a million details so hard and so long that the forest disappears. You can be left with nothing but a pile of details and nothing to act on.
Good. That kind of confusion keeps out the under motivated.
Where the rest of us can draw motivational breath is in the numbers. The large numbers that produce the apparent chaos are also your opportunity, seen in the right light.
The September 2005 issue of MITs Technology Review includes a book review by Mark Williams of two new books about internet search theory and practice. The first is, The Search: How Google and Its Rivals Rewrote the Rules of Business and Transformed Our Culture, by John Battelle. The other is The Long Tail, by Chris Anderson, the editor in chief of Wired magazine. My summary will be too short, but the basic idea behind the concept of long tails is that carefully searched and sorted, patterns can be pulled from the chaos. Your opportunity is in there, hiding behind the big stuff.
What does this mean for you friend? Here's how Mark Williams describes it in his review: "In the context of e-commerce, long tails have three implications. First, via the Internet, products with little demand can, collectively, create a market exceeding that of the few best sellers. Second, in the same way, that it enables a proliferation of markets, the Internet enables a proliferation of vendors. Finally, thanks to search, a shift from mass to niche markets is likely."
Or to quote directly from Chris Anderson's blog directly, "The theory of the Long Tail is that our culture and economy is increasingly shifting away from a focus on a relatively small number of "hits" (mainstream products and markets) at the head of the demand curve and toward a huge number of niches in the tail. As the costs of production and distribution fall, especially online, there is now less need to lump products and consumers into one-size-fits-all containers. In an era without the constraints of physical shelf space and other bottlenecks of distribution, narrowly-target goods and services can be as economically attractive as mainstream fare."
Yes, yes, yes. You can create and grow your own enterprises despite the headlines, despite the apparent odds, and despite the naysayers. No generation in the history of the world has had this kind of access to knowledge, tools, markets and opportunities.
Tip your approach upside down. The forest is there. The trees are there. Your path through this opportunity awaits.
