Finland is a special country. Whenever I think of Finland I have various thoughts going through my mind: I remember the student exchange program at the university in Helsinki. I think of my Finnish friends and of saunas, old Nokia mobile phones and a pretty weird language that is Finnish. I recall the discussions whether Finland actually belongs to Scandinavia or not. But ever since I dived into interior blogging, I link Finland to very creative and inspiring brands. Such as Iittala, one of my favorite Finnish brands for beautiful homes.
Iittala is to me an epitome of Finland. It has both, the cutting edge designs of typical Scandinavian brands with clean lines, simple shapes and subtle colours. But it also has the playful patterns of Nordic folkore and strong references to nature. Iittala also stands for refined craftsmanship and collaborations with renown designers. Just think of the iconic Aalto vase designed back in 1936 by Alvar Aalto or the recent Ruutu vase collection designed by the French brother Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec.
Even though Iittala has started as a glass factory in the late nineteenth century and has ever since become famous for its glassware and ceramics, it has also spread out into the interiors with larger pieces expanding their reach from glassware to small furniture pieces. The latest additions to Iittala's fantastic portfolio include a collection of three small stools/side tables called 'Plektra' (pointing to their design inspiration) created by the Dutch designer Ineke Hans. Here again, they seem to inherit Iittala's design DNA with a clear and simple visual language and a dash of playfulness.
Moreover Iittala is expanding its Sarjaton collection with mugs, bowls and napkins for your breakfast table as well as cushions – all with the folkloristic designs named 'Varpu' by the Swedish illustrator Lotta Olsson. Here the Nordic forests serve as a source of inspiration to bring a fresh breeze of Scandinavia to your breakfast table. Kaasa is yet another wonderful collection of new glass candleholders designed by Ilkka Suppanen and inspired by floating lights of Finnish seamen that helped them to navigate the Nordic waters. Last but not least, my beloved Kastehelmi collection will get new additions in the form of tumblers and jars with lids. I have their iconic tealight holders at home and the word Kastehelmi itself means dew drop as this was the inspiration for its design.
So after all this I think it is clear what will be in my top mindset next time I get asked about Finland: Design!
Haha, yeah me too!! But even before that I would love the grey Ruutu vase designed by the Bouroullec brothers. I am totally in love with it! Kali evdomada!!

If you or someone you know has been charged with a crime in New York, you'll want as much information as possible about the crime and its consequences. What does the prosecutor have to prove in order to get a conviction? What's the sentence; is it a range, and what factors might affect a judge's decision to impose a lower or higher sentence? Most importantly, are there any legally recognized defenses to this charge?
The articles on this page give you this information for specified New York crimes. If you want to read the laws themselves, you'll find citations to them (see "Looking Up the Law," below, for tips on how to find the law online). But most of the time, our summaries will give you what you need.
Be sure to understand that no legal article is a substitute for a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney, who regularly practices in your area. The "letter of the law" is only your strating point. Working with your attorney, you should come to understand how the amount and quality of the evidence in your case will affect your options, which may range from attempting to get the case dismissed, to negotiating a plea, to going to trial.
Criminal Law Basics: Classification of Crimes, Statute of Limitations, and Criminal Records
New York Felony Crimes by Class and Sentences
New York's felony sentencing laws are somewhat complicated, imposing sentences based on several factors. There are two basic types of felony sentences in New York: indeterminate and determinate.
New York Criminal Statute of Limitations
Like all states, New York sets forth a "deadline" for criminal cases. If the state tries to bring an action against someone after the applicable time period has passed, the person charged can have the case dismissed.
How to Handle a Bench Warrant or Failure to Appear in New York
Failing to appear for a court date can be used by the prosecutor as evidence of your guilt on the underlying charge. Don't risk this potentially devastating argument.
Expunging or Sealing Adult Criminal Records in New York
New York law allows you to petition to have your criminal record sealed—that is expunged or hidden from public view. But not all convictions are eligible.
DUI, Driving & Alcohol Related Crimes
Driving on a Suspended License in New York
If you live in New York, you may lose your driving privileges for a number of different reasons. Suspension or revocation may occur for certain convictions, driving offenses, and even failing to pay child support. Driving while your license is suspended or revoked is a crime.
New York Minor in Possession of Alcohol Laws and Penalties
A minor in New York may not purchase or possess alcohol with the intent to consume it, with few exceptions. It is also illegal for anyone to furnish alcohol to a minor, or to make false statements about a minor's age in order to facilitate a sale to that minor.
Theft-Related Crimes
Auto Theft Laws in New York
Motor vehicle theft is a serious crime in the state of New York. In addition to theft, New York penalizes several other behaviors involving motor vehicles.
Burglary and Home Invasions in New York
Like all states, New York makes it a crime to go into a building or onto land belonging to someone else without permission. Such behavior can result in a charge for burglary (going into a building with the intent to commit a crime) or trespass (going onto property without permission). Some burglaries, such as armed burglaries or home invasion burglaries, can result in very serious penalties.
New York Petty Theft and Other Theft Laws
New York criminal laws use the term "larceny" to describe theft laws. In New York, larceny occurs when a person "wrongfully takes, obtains or withholds" property from its rightful owner, with the intent to deprive the owner of such property.
Shoplifting Charges in New York
Shoplifting in New York is a crime with serious penalties, including potential fines and jail time. In addition to facing criminal penalties, shoplifters can be sued by merchants in civil court to recover damages.
Drug Possession and Sale
Possession of a Controlled Substance in New York
New York classifies not only well-known drugs like marijuana, heroin, and cocaine as CDS, but also the compounds used to manufacture them.
Harassment, Bullying and Violent Crimes
Felony Assault in New York
In New York, an assault occurs when a person injures someone else without legal justification. Assault can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a Class D felony or higher level Class B felony.
Cyberbullying Laws in New York
Cyberbullying is the electronic cousin of traditional in-person bullying, which seems to be an unfortunate long-standing fact of teenage social life. Cyberbullying has arisen as the growth of the Internet and other forms of technology have become a big part of how teens socialize.
Misdemeanor Assault in New York
In New York, an assault occurs when a person injures someone else without legal justification. Assault can be charged as either a misdemeanor or differing levels of felonies.
New York Domestic Violence Laws
The State of New York defines family offenses as the commission of certain violent and threatening crimes when committed between people who share one of the specified relationships. In addition to facing criminal prosecution, a person who commits a family offense may be named in a restraining order, referred to as an order of protection.
Disorderly Conduct in New York
As in many states, disorderly conduct is a crime in New York. New York's disorderly conduct statute prohibits a variety of behaviors, such as fighting, disrupting a meeting, or blocking traffic. New York also has laws against false alarms, rioting, funeral picketing, and loitering.
New York Statutory Rape Laws
In New York, it is illegal for an adult (someone 18 or older) to have sex with a minor (someone younger than 17), even if the sex is consensual. Those who break the law have committed statutory rape.
Prostitution Laws in New York
New York has laws against both buying and selling sex. For more information on prostitution laws generally, see Prostitution.
Transmitting an STD in New York
In New York, it is a misdemeanor for a person who knows that he or she is infected with a sexually transmitted disease (STD) to have sexual intercourse with another person. People who know that they are infected with STDs that can cause death and who commit sex crimes or have unprotected sex with people who do not know of the infection may also be guilty of reckless endangerment.
Teen Sexting in New York
Sharing nude photos of children can result in convictions for child pornography and other serious crimes. Some states, like New York, have diversion programs that allow teenagers who are involved in sexting to attend educational programs instead of facing tough criminal penalties.

Welcome to the Pleasure Dome… by Andrew Darlington Part Two
'HAIL, FELLOW-PEEPERS…'
Inevitably there was a new tie-in edition of the novel timed to coincide with the movie, although the two formats are distinctively different. In fairness, to place such fictional conjectures on screen presents obvious problems. But 'Logan's Run' still has a lot to recommend it. There was a working screenplay by Nolan himself, but in the transition through pre-production hell it was superceded by an adaptation by David Zelag Goodman. Filming commenced with locations including the clean antiseptic shopping malls of the Dallas and Fort Worth Metroplex – including the Market Center, the Water Gardens and the World Trade Mart. In keeping with such settings there's no irony or darkness. It is bright and clean, with even the squalor and ruins deliberately contrived. As John Clute's 'Science Fiction: An Illustrated Encyclopedia' (Dorling Kindersley, 1995) points out 'a couple of years later, this sanitised future was no longer viable, cinema had learned about grit and gunge. But in 1975, clean-cut kids in fab togas could still revolt against saniseal elders and escape outdoors'. For Logan, although there are problems, they are resolved. Such up optimism does not sit well with more downbeat current critical taste. It is very much of its time. But it's fun.
Where do 'Runners' run to? There are tales about 'Sanctuary', a Shangri-La of sorts, a 'pre-catastrophe' code-word for 'a place of immunity'. Logan is assigned to become a Covert 'Runner', in order to infiltrate the 'Sanctuary'– losing four years of his life in the process. He had four more years on his 'life-clock', now his countdown has begun. He was only Red-6, but his palm-stone is accelerated and triggered by a red glow. Does he get his four years back? There's no reply, instead 'You are authorised to penetrate city-seals and search outside the dome' he's instructed, 'you will find 'Sanctuary' and destroy.' 'There's nothing outside' he protests. Yet he must now assume the role of Runner. In the book Logan obtains his first lead to 'Sanctuary' when he pursues a Runner called Doyle into 'Cathedral Station', where Doyle is killed by 'Cubs' high on an accelerant-drug called 'Muscle'. The derelict 'Cathedral Station' is 'a festering sore in the side of Greater Los Angeles, an area of rubble and dust and burned-out buildings, a place of shadows and pollution, of stealth and sudden death'. It's also a reservation for Violent Delinquents who resemble William Burrough's menacing pre-teen 'Wild Boys', feral children born to 'Breeders'. In Logan's world, breeding is an automated process, more thoroughly detailed in the novel, with children nurtured in Vast Industrial Nurseries run by an Autogoverness, resulting in a 'Brave New World'-ian revulsion at the idea of knowing 'the seed-mother'.
In the film, Jenny Agutter is Jessica-Six, the 'sad' girl dressed in a diaphanous pale-green whisp, who Logan dials up on the sex-circuit and who then declines to have sex with him. Why is she sad? She tells Logan her friend was 'killed' on the 'carousel'. Not 'renewed'. Logan begins to suspect that 'renewal' does not happen. That those on the 'carousel' simply die. Just like the Runner he's just terminated, Jessica has an Ankh pendant. And she voices the subversive wish 'I wish I'd known my mother'. 'Where do you get these crazy ideas?' laughs Logan. But he shows her his pulsing stone and tells her he intends to 'run'. 'It's different now because it's me, my life.' Michael York makes a convincing Logan, using the round-faced boyish charm that saw him cast as swash-buckling D'Artagnan in 'The Three Musketeers' (1973) and its sequel, both flippant and lethally heroic, with the foppish preening self-regard he displayed so effectively as the bi-sexual Brian Roberts in 'Cabaret' (1972). More recently he became 'Basil Exposition' to Michael Myers' 'Austin Powers', while Sci-Fi fans renewed their regard for him when he cameod in 'Babylon 5: A Late Delivery From Avalon' (Season 3 Episode 13, 1996). While Jenny Agutter – a child actor forever eternalised by her role in 'The Railway Children' (1970), proves an equally effective foil as Jessica-Six, showing both attractive vulnerability, balanced with an assured and single-minded determination. Richard Jordan is Francis-Seven, Logan's Sandman companion who tells him 'you wonder a little too much for a Sandman' and 'when you question, it slows you down'. The book describes him as a 'friendless, loveless man with the mantis-thin body and the black eyes of a hunting cat'. When Francis arrives as Logan's flat with two more compliant bimbo's, Jessica slips away. She is cautious, Sandmen are not to be trusted, but she contacts her friends. They are also wary of assisting a Sandman. In the book it's 'Runner' Doyle's punchkey that directs Logan to Lillith-4, and hence to Doc at NewYou the Face Job plastic surgery unit which had altered the appearance of the original Runner, enabling his escape bid. There he meets Jessica who at first mistakes Logan for her re-bodymoulded brother. In the book she is Doyle-Ten's sister. In the film, Farah Fawcett-Major is Holly, the dumb blonde receptionist at NewYou. Doc wears a silver glitter-suit, attempts to use the machine to kill Logan, but is himself killed by it. When Francis-Seven tries to intervene Logan knocks him out.
Logan's black uniform with its grey collar and chest-bar are now slashed from the Doc's lasers. He and Jessica escape through the pink dry-ice Love Shop, a group-grope orgy sequence of dark slow-motion grappling nudity in 1970's 'Swingers'-style that is frequently exorcised from TV-view versions, into tunnels beneath. Is Logan genuine? Has he really crossed over? In the book his loyalties are still conflicted, torn by his DS indoctrination, allowing the added tension of uncertainty. 'No Sandman ever ran' cautions Jessica, 'you don't run, you kill Runners.' And yes, he activates his location-finder, alerting other Sandmen to their escape-route. But then Logan shoots at the pursuing Francis, and they scramble down a tunnel of pipes, towards the 'last gate'. Perhaps his real intentions are still confused? Or maybe he's using the 'covert-Runner' cover-story to action his own escape, maintaining the pretense as a necessary part of the guise? The Ankh around her neck is lost, he uses the one he took from the dead Runner to open the gate. They emerge in some forgotten unused area beneath the city. But the persistent Francis is a worthy and relentless opponent. He trails them, retrieves her lost key-pendant from where she dropped it in the water, and he uses it to follow them. Francis shoots at them, but his blast breaches a wall deluging water from ancient fish breeding-pens. 'It must have been a savage world' comments Jessica. From there they ascend into chill ice-caves. The deep grottos.
The text-escapers range across a transfigured America, menaced by terrors excluded from the film. A robot Civil War re-enactment. Glitter-Punk Pleasure-gypsies riding flying hover-choppers. And the interlude in which – charged with Everlove (a kind of Viagra), Logan achieves seven consecutive orgasms with their women. Some other elements of their text-adventures are drawn into the film, in a more concentrated form. Logan identifies certain 'Dead Sections' on the map-grid which he decides are stages on the 'Sanctuary line'. To contact the next link – 'Whale', they visit 'Molly', a submarine city in the Pacific Challenger Deep, semi-derelict since a 2033 rupture. Then to Hell, the ice-world 'escape-proof' prison-city at the North Pole. Once there, within a cannibalistic culture cut into the ice they encounter 'Box' a warped insane artist in a grotto dotted with his twisted ice-sculptures, a walrus, penguins, a flight of ice-gulls. 'A creature stood before them on chromed legs. From the midpoint of his sternum to his hips he was coils and cables. One hand was a cutting tool. His head was half-flesh, half-metal'. Box is also present in the film – 'more than machine, more than man, more than a fusion of the two'. This ludicrous figure patrols the refrigerated lower-levels of the domed-city where earlier Runners are entombed in ice, frozen into the walls, awaiting processing into protein – a kind of 'Soylent Green' nutrient supplement since the original supply of fish and plankton ceased. Did any of the earlier Runners escape? Or did they all end up here? 'Perhaps we're the first people to get through…?' murmurs Jessica.
Logan and Jessica step through the ruptured chamber-wall, emerging into the shattered outer world. 'What is it?' asks Jessica, pointing at the sun. 'I don't know' responds Logan, 'whatever it is, it's warm!' There's a beautiful waterfall and trees. 'I didn't know any place could be like this' she enthuses, as a lizard crawls up her dress! It's a post-Hippie analogy of 'getting back to nature, man'. They even find a lake and go skinny-dipping, only to find that their crystals have become clear. Their life-clocks obviously don't function outside the dome. Earlier – on the circuit, she'd declined to have sex with Logan. The choice is still hers. This time her answer is 'yes'. Both film and book converge on a dénouement in the ruins of a nuked Washington. Walking bewildered through the overgrown city, finding the Washington monument, with the huge seated Lincoln statue standing in for the 'Planet Of The Apes' iconic Statue Of Liberty. And their incomprehension at finding a graveyard. To a showdown in the mildewed Capitol Building. In the book there's the myth of 'Ballard', the world's oldest man. Francis turns out to be Ballard. In the film there's no 'Ballard'. Instead, a white-bearded Peter Ustinov is the jolly avuncular 'Old Man', grumpy and forgetful, surrounded by his cats in a library of books and ancient portraits ('that must be the look of being old'). 'A sweet madman' exclaims Logan, 'how could he come to exist?' Jessica traces his wrinkles, 'those cracks in your face, do they hurt?' The old man explains the concept of family, and the meaning of the graveyard headstone inscriptions 'beloved wife'. 'I think I'd like that Logan – beloved husband!' says Jessica. Is there Sanctuary? Jessica insists there must be. Ustinov quotes TS Eliot's "Cats", but says no, there is no such thing as Sanctuary, it is just the product of hope. Instead, the relentless Francis appears, intent on terminating these two most elusive of Runners. They fight. Francis uses a tattered US flag as a spear! Francis is killed, and buried. Logan decides they must go back and tell the city the truth. Although Jessica argues they won't be believed, the oldster agrees to go with them, as living evidence that 'you don't have to die, you can live and grown old'. So they return to the domed city bringing Ustinov with them. Strolling a wide beach they explain the city's system to Ustinov, 'it takes all the fun out of dying' he harrumphs. Entering the city through its tidal-energy ports Logan blows its controlling computer-mind, resulting in the destruction of the city. The population emerging through smoke, flames-spouts and blue-green energy-bursts wonderingly, to find Ustinov waiting for them. They circle him, in a kind of awe. The final shots are of Logan and Jessica, together, watching as explosions rock the sky behind them. There's also 'Thinker' in the book, a vast controlling computer network set into Tashunca-Uito, a mountain in the Black Hills of South Dakota sculpted into a giant representation of the Native American Crazy Horse. Located in a 'Restricted Zone' guarded by mech-eagles with twenty-foot wingspans it is a similar concept to the 'Skynet' of the 'Terminator' cycle. A proto-internet made up when 'computer was linked with computer in ever-widening complexity', until it co-ordinates the planet. In the film Logan is interrogated by the computer, with his surrogate facial-image on-screen answering questions drawn directly from his mind. His continued denials and his memory-images of 'outside' cause it to short-circuit. In the book it is not destroyed, although it is failing. But in the book there is also a Sanctuary. It is 'Argos', an abandoned space-station colony orbiting Mars. They reach it in a rocketship blasting off from Cape Steinbeck, a former launch-site in the Florida Keys.
'Logan's Run' soon established itself as a franchise in its own right, with a spin-off TV series (it premiered on US television 16 September 1977, followed by UK 7 January 1978). Nolan himself co-wrote the eighty-minute movie-length pilot which reiterates Logan and Jessica's escape from the City Of Domes and takes them to Mountain City where they recruit a comical humanoid android called Rem who subsequently becomes their companion. The pilot introduces thirteen hour-long episodes including "Crypt" co-scripted by Harlan Ellison, and two co-written by 'Star Trek' stalwart DC Fontana, with "Carousel" in which a dart erases Logan's memory and he's taken back to the city by Francis, where Jessica and Rem must rescue him before his scheduled 'renewal' on the 'Carousel'. In truth, the episodic structure in which the fugitives encounter a series of strange isolated communities on their way to find the elusive 'Sanctuary' is not dissimilar to Nolan's original plotline.
In other media, Marvel Comics issued a series of comic-books (1976-1977), with a lightly tactful censored retelling of the film story. While there was a twenty-part UK picture-strip series run in the weekly comic 'Look-In' (from 8 April to 30 September 1978), penned by the prolific Angus P Allan with art by Arthur Rawson. Headed by a photo of the three TV protagonists, in one issue they escape pursuing Sandmen using a time-machine in a ruined city, traveling forward to the Earth's incandescent Lastday, then back to the dinosaur-prowled primeval. Although a radical departure from the original scenario, it's by means a stretch-of-the-imagination too far, considering the technique of catch-all eclecticism used by Nolan in the book. Nolan himself took advantage of the high-visibility movie with his own sequel – 'Logan's World' (1977) in which Logan, Jessica and their son Jaq return to Earth from Argos, to find that Ballard died destroying the Thinker, but Gant, a former Sandman is intent on revenge. Then 'Logan's Search' (1980), with Logan thrown into an unreconstructed parallel-Earth. The three volumes were eventually collected together into 'Logan: A Trilogy' (1986). Much later he relaunched Logan's travails with a novelette, 'Logan's Return' (2001), downloadable in ebook form. Meanwhile, among persistent rumours of a movie re-make there's talk of further 'Logan' tales from Nolan and – confusingly, from his original collaborator George Clayton Johnson too. While tales a feature-movie remake keep resurfacing. In all of these various interlocking media, Logan just keeps on running.

Gas is a game-changer and the players are plotting
In the second of two articles on the energy transition, the battle for gas exploration in South Africa is explored – and why the production delays in Mozambique suit some interests.
By: Mike Muller
By: Seán Mfundza Muller
Small but well-funded and vociferous groups of environmental activists and lawyers are blocking exploration for gas both offshore and onshore. They are also now objecting to the construction of gas-fired power stations and facilities to import gas. In neighbouring Mozambique, internal discontent is being exploited by external forces, delaying production at what has been described as a global game-changer for world gas markets.
Yet at last year's COP26 climate change conference in Scotland, the global consensus was that gas will be a vital transitional fuel. And rich countries, along with their businesses, continue to implement projects that will use gas on their terms and for their profit.
Mozambique's gas fields, offshore of Cabo Delgado province in the north, are among the most valuable in the region. Over a decade ago, it became apparent that the development of those deposits could transform Mozambique into a major global liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter. Properly managed, gas development could help transform Mozambique into a middle-income country. But it has also put it on the front line of global energy geopolitics. And this is reflected in the current insurgency and destabilisation in Cabo Delgado.
Who gets the 'dirty' profits while going for 'clean'?
In January, a consortium led by Italian energy company Eni took delivery of Africa's first floating gas plant, built in South Korea. Anchored off the coast of Cabo Delgado, it is due to start production later this year. However, the large onshore developments that would increase production eightfold are on hold owing to security concerns.
The consortium led by French company Total, which had already begun to build its production facilities, has declared force majeure and halted work. The United States' Exxon has delayed its "final investment decision" from 2021 to 2023. Further economic casualties of the conflict include gas-based opportunities for electricity generation and industrial development, including fertiliser production that could have supplied the whole Southern African Development Community (SADC) region.
The security challenges that would be created by Mozambique's gas reserves were already being discussed in 2010. Not long afterwards, the World Bank warned that the prospect of huge gas revenues might destabilise the whole region, a prediction that has come to pass in dramatic fashion. Corruption at the highest levels of Mozambique's government left the country effectively insolvent, with former minister of finance Manuel Chang in a South African jail awaiting extradition to the US. The insurgency in Cabo Delgado has required security forces from SADC and beyond to stabilise.
Many roleplayers, many interests
Much attention has, correctly, focused on the domestic drivers of the conflict: inequality, a lack of opportunity and rampant and well-publicised gross corruption by the Mozambican elite. But external forces have also played a critical role. Blackwater, a notorious US security contractor, was seen as a leading contender for contracts to provide security in Cabo Delgado.
Eni is working with China and South Korea's oil companies, Portugal's Galp Energia and Mozambique's national hydrocarbon company ENH, which is a part of all the consortiums. But the full potential of their development will only be achieved when Exxon builds its onshore liquefaction facilities. Total's consortium includes Asian gas users (Japan, India and Thailand) and is working with Exxon, which has proposed cooperation to reduce production costs for both consortia.
However, Exxon – and the US – have obvious conflicts of interest. Mozambique's gas development could weaken the dominant position of the LNG market leaders Australia, Qatar and, increasingly, the US itself. Exxon has admitted that the Rovuma Basin discoveries in northern Mozambique and southern Tanzania "will be a game-changer for the world's energy markets".
Collapse of energy utilities sounds a warning bell
The importance of Mozambique to US energy policy is illustrated by American involvement being led personally by Rex Tillerson, in two separate roles: first as chief executive of Exxon Mobil and then as Donald Trump's secretary of state. The efforts by Erik Prince, the founder of Blackwater, to gain control of the maritime security opportunities are suggestive. So too is the fact that Mozambique's loan scandal was driven, in large measure, by attempts to raise money to fund local companies to provide these services.
To put it directly: has the insurgency provided Exxon with a useful excuse to delay the big onshore development that would dramatically expand Mozambique's production, thereby conveniently protecting Exxon's other production centres? Even if the Mozambican projects resume, full planned production will have been delayed by some years, keeping world market prices higher to the benefit of existing producers like Exxon. Meanwhile, Reuters reports that the US will be the largest LNG exporter this year.
This perspective on Mozambique and the wider world of global hydrocarbons is relevant to South Africa, and the focus on gas is important.
Skewing the frame
Much of the climate and energy strategies – and legal fees – of South Africa's non-governmental organisations and civil coalitions appear to be focused on opposing gas-related developments. Their simplistic and populist narrative frames the issues as a choice between apparently cheap and easy renewables or hydrocarbons.
This superficially attractive approach ignores both the costs of replacing the national energy infrastructure and the limits of intermittent sources like wind and solar. And it assumes, without evidence, that a transition from coal-fired power to clean energy can be achieved without using gas.
Drawing on global consensus, the government's 2019 integrated resource plan (IRP) considered some of the objections that had been formally submitted. It noted that "gas is considered a transition fuel globally and it provides the flexibility necessary to run a system like we have in a cost effective manner. It is cleaner than other fossil fuels. The extent of the gas contained in the draft IRP is within the imposed emissions reduction trajectory."
South Africa's government is stuck on oil and gas
Perhaps the problem is that, in energy planning terms, the IRP only provides a short-term perspective, until 2030, that does not reveal the challenge of managing a system with a large proportion of intermittent renewables like wind and solar.
The IRP 2030 scenario projections show that while 33% of the grid's nameplate generating capacity – the maximum rated output – would come from wind and solar and 43% from coal, those renewables would only produce 24% of the system's energy compared with coal's 59%. Nuclear and hydropower would represent just 8.2% of generating capacity, but they produce almost 13% of the system's energy because they offer consistent and predictable supply at high load factors.
The real challenge will be faced after 2030. As the proportion of intermittent renewables continues to grow, complementary sources of generation or storage must also be increased to compensate for periods in which solar and wind is not available. Complementary infrastructure will likely be more costly and take longer than the rollout of renewables, so delaying it will simply stall the transition.
A place for gas
Faced with this challenge, countries like Germany and Britain, leading advocates for zero carbon strategies, have committed to using gas for another two to three decades as a core element of their energy transition. This is despite their access to complementary sources of power, through Europe's continent-wide grid to Norwegian hydropower, French nuclear and Danish wind, which will help them manage the intermittency of local wind and solar generation.
South Africa does not have such complementary sources. Critics' comments recorded in the IRP show little evidence that they had any technically feasible alternatives, let alone suggestions on how to fund them. Proposals were limited to vague "flexible renewable generation" or "energy storage technologies" without suggesting what they would be or how they could be afforded.
Renewable energy is vital in parched rural Zimbabwe
One representative from the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research admitted in a radio interview that its proposals simply assumed that storage costs would come down enough over the next decade to make higher shares of renewable energy feasible. Even this is based on the assumption that storage is only needed for a few hours of generation and ignores the risk of the longer-term supply reductions already experienced in Europe and the US. At best, the suggested "all renewable" investment route would put South Africa's energy security at risk in a way that no other sizeable country is doing.
There is presently no proposed solution that can reliably and affordably provide South Africa's energy requirements purely from intermittent renewables. While storage technologies are progressing, the cost of long-term (multi-day) storage remains prohibitive. South Africa's pumped storage schemes are currently among the cheapest technologies for large-scale energy storage, but an installation like Ingula, which can only store enough to generate 1 300MW for less than a day, cost R36 billion.
Costly delays
Important local work on energy storage and the production of "green hydrogen" from renewable energy could be supported since it may offer global opportunities for South African mining and manufacturing. But it will take many years to be brought to scale and deploy, not least because of the massive investment needed in dedicated wind and solar power and Sasol-size production plants.
And, if "green hydrogen" eventually becomes commercially viable, it would best be used to generate electricity in the kinds of natural gas-fired generators that are now being blocked. In this respect, renewable power activism is leading South Africa off course right at the start of the transition marathon.
The latest example is the legal action opposing the construction of gas-fired power stations at Richards Bay and Durban that are to be fuelled by imported gas. But one reason for these developments is that gas exploration onshore and offshore has been repeatedly delayed.
A just energy transition must have all aboard
It is the failure to develop local gas resources that has allowed the much-criticised Karpowership "emergency" generation proposal to succeed. The ship will burn gas and it requires no local production or importation infrastructure, offering minimal local development benefits.
South Africans need to stop their dangerously narrow focus on one particular element, or definition, of the energy transition and think much more carefully about how to achieve a genuinely just and viable transition.
The question also has to be asked: who benefits from the current rush to privatised forms of renewable energy, especially since it does not take seriously the interests either of workers and the impoverished in general or economic viability and national sovereignty?

Ballet purists in a spin as Paris Opera takes aim at 'colonial' works
Traditionalists fear that anti-racism is pushing a French institution to dilute national culture
Adam Sage, Paris
Saturday January 09 2021, 12.01am, The Times
Chloé Lopes Gomes said she was told to whiten her skin for Swan Lake, while the director of Paris Opera said he didn't want to stage Nureyev's version
CHLOE DESNOYERS; BERTRAND RINDOFF PETROFF/GETTY
The director of Paris's prestigious ballet company has been accused of importing Anglo-Saxon political correctness into France by pledging to remove "the colonial and slave trading heritage" from its repertoire.
The controversy is pitting Alexander Neef, the German director of Paris Opera, which includes the ballet company, against traditionalists aghast at what they see as his attempt to convert a national institution into a temple of North American thinking. Neef, 46, spent much of his career in Canada.
The row erupted when Neef appeared to tell Le Monde newspaper that he wanted to stop staging works choreographed by Rudolf Nureyev, the late Russian dancer, including his versions of The Nutcracker and Swan Lake. Nureyev, who was director of Paris Opera Ballet in the

Worlds Adrift is a community-crafted MMO that brings thousands of players together in a ship-building-focused world, currently in development by UK studio Bossa Studios. Here's everything we know about it so far.
Here's all we know about Worlds Adrift, from release date rumours to platform availability, gameplay and the latest game updates.
Worlds Adrift is a community-crafted MMO that brings thousands of players together in a ship-building-focused world, and is currently in development by UK studio Bossa Studios. Though it's in development right now, you can now download the game as part of Steam's Early Access program and help shape the final game.
Here's all we know about Worlds Adrift, from (final) release date rumours to platform availability, gameplay and the latest game updates.
What do you do in Worlds Adrift? You explore a persistent world filled with floating islands and, of course, other online players, with the aim of finding resources and upgrades to build your own 'sky ship'. The scale of the game is incredible; there's a single server for all players in Western Europe, and yet player interaction is still pretty rare. Granted it's in closed beta, but it still has a decent player base.
What else is impressive is that every single island in the game has been created by the Worlds Adrift community, using the free Island Creator tool. It allows gamers to design and preview islands before being able to submit them and, if they're good enough, be featured in new biomes.
As mentioned, the aim of the game is to design and build your own sky ship using resources you find on the various islands dotted around the Worlds Adrift universe. You won't just find general wood and metal though; you've got various materials (Oak, Pine, Elm, Iron, Silver, Gold and Titanium to name a few) that all come with strengths and weaknesses that will have an effect on your ship and how it performs.
And yes, when we say you'll design your ship, we mean design. You're provided with basic pre-set shapes, but the general design of your ship is completely up to you. You can tweak the frame using in-game 3D modelling software before using resources to craft it. From there, you'll craft the various utilities you need (wings, engines, an Atlas Core and more) and be able to leave the island you started on.
The aim of the game is to build up your ship to travel between various weather walls that separate the Worlds Adrift universe. There are currently four types of biome in WA, each with a tier ranking that is connected to the level of blueprints that you'll find, and how complex the islands on offer will be.
The Wilderness is where you'll start off, before travelling through a Wind Wall to The Expanse. From there, you'll have to fight your way through more powerful Storm Walls to get to the Remnants before gearing up for the final challenge, the Sand Wall, that leads to The Badlands. There are multiple of each tier available in WA, so don't worry, there's a lot to explore.
Oh, and we almost completely forgot to mention the inclusion of a grappling hook. As well as letting you live out your Spider-Man-esque dreams as you explore these islands, it's an incredibly useful tool that can grant you access to hard-to-reach places, or save you from falling to your death when you misjudge that jump.
When will Worlds Adrift be released?
So, when will Worlds Adrift be released around the world? It's safe to say that it won't reach final release for a while, but despite still being in development, you can play the game right now via Steam's Early Access program.
You can pick up Worlds Adrift from Steam for £19.49/$24.99. You can also fork out a little extra and pick up the Pioneer edition, providing exclusive in-game cosmetics that won't be available at full launch.
Considering the fact that the game is still in beta form, we can't imagine that we'll see a full release of the completed game in 2018. We imagine that the finished product could be released in 2019, or possibly even 2020 depending on how quickly the Bossa team gets through the recently published Worlds Adrift Road Map.
If Early Access games are your thing, check out our curated list of the best Early Access games of 2018.
Which platforms can I play it on?
While this probably isn't a surprise for most, Worlds Adrift in its Early Access form is available for those on Windows PC with no love for consoles just yet. While there are no public plans to bring the game to PS4 or Xbox One, we can't help but notice how well the design and gameplay would translate to console with controller support.
Hey, we can hope, right?
Here, we list some of the most recent Worlds Adrift game patches and how they influence the game. This could be bug fixes, new features or graphical tweaks, depending on the focus of the update.
Worlds Adrift build 0.2.0 launched on the same day that Worlds Adrift was released on Steam's Early Access program, so the headline feature (apart from the addition of over 100 new islands) is additional servers for both the US and EU regions to handle the strain of new players.
Being a release patch, Bossa made the decision to wipe not only the world and your ships, but characters too. This may be disappointing for long-time players of the game, but it creates a level playing field for everyone buying the game now it's available on Steam.
The update also splits the world into two diverse cultural regions; Saborian and Kioki, each with lore waiting to be discovered on the scattered islands of Worlds Adrift. The Kioki region also offers new music and assets, so expect to see some new island features on your adventures!
There's also an updated UI, and the introduction of a basic tutorial and in-game cinematic that helps paint a picture of the Worlds Adrift universe.

While Connecticut enjoyed a mostly mild winter, allergists warn that spring allergy season continues to worsen each year. Dr. Jigisha Morosky, an allergist/immunologist with Starling Physicians, addresses the most common questions about seasonal allergies.
How do you know if it is a cold or allergy?
Sometimes it is difficult for people to determine if sniffles, sneezes, sore throat and coughs are caused by allergies, a cold or even sinusitis. Dr. Morosky explains that nasal allergy symptoms and common cold symptoms are essentially identical. Variables we examine are exposure to an allergen, like pollen or a pet, the duration of symptoms – months versus 1 to 2 weeks, and if there is improvement while taking allergy medications.
Spring allergies can cause itchy water eyes, runny nose, scratchy throat, sneezing, coughing and even hives. The symptoms of a cold are often characterized by runny nose, sore throat and cough. Patients with severe seasonal allergies can feel very fatigued and have low grade fever ("hayfever") making the distinction even harder.
Acute sinusitis is characterized by a stuffy or runny nose accompanied by pain in the forehead and/or over the cheeks. Often both the common cold and allergies can cause swelling of the nasal passages, which prevent the sinuses from draining, then this can lead to sinusitis. Sinusitis can be treated with antibiotics, however it often recurs if due to uncontrolled allergies.
What are best over the counter methods to treat allergies?
To treat allergies, Dr. Morosky recommends long-acting, non-sedating oral antihistamines such as Zyrtec or Allegra. Over the past one to two years, nasal steroid sprays such as Flonase and Nasacort have become available over the counter.
Dr. Morosky explains that nasal steroid sprays are a lot more effective then antihistamines. They have an effect on multiple different mediators and cells including the actual allergy cells in your nose, therefore improving all of your nasal symptoms caused by allergies. Antihistamines only help with decreasing the effect of histamine, therefore provide inadequate improvement for many patients.
However, Morosky warns not all nasal sprays are the same. Nasal decongestant sprays such as Afrin, can cause physical dependence in as little as two to three days of use, i.e. your nose becomes addicted to Afrin. She recommends minimizing use of such sprays.
Are there effective natural remedies?
For those who are seeking a natural treatment for any type of sinus congestion, Dr. Morosky recommends nasal saline rinses like Neti Pots. They help rinse out all of the allergens in your nasal passages are that triggering symptoms, wash out mucus and decrease swelling of the nasal tissues. Nasal saline rinses are safe and effective and have been around for centuries.
Morosky says that while there is anecdotal evidence that taking small amounts of local honey every day has relieved allergy symptoms for some, it has not been scientifically shown to be effective in treating seasonal allergies. Honey does however help sooth a cough.
What is the best way to know if you have allergies?
Allergy testing is the most conclusive determination for allergies. Dr. Morosky believes that everyone can benefit from skin allergy testing. Most patients have more sensitivities then they realize. For example, a lot of patients believe they are allergic to tree pollen, but testing often shows they are also allergic to grasses and weeds.
What are benefits of allergy shots?
Allergy shots, or immunotherapy injections, are an option for anyone who has identifiable aeroallergen sensitivities. Shots are the most effective form of therapy since they actually change the immune system so that the person is not as allergic. They are especially beneficial for people who don't want to take medications or those that have inadequate control despite medications. Additionally, injections are a great option for people who want a long-term solution.
Most people who begin to receive allergy shots start seeing improvement within 2 to 3 months. Unfortunately, doctors typically do not start patients on allergy shots during their allergic pollen season, as it can contribute to increased risk for allergic reactions to the shots.
If you think you suffer from allergies, the critical first step is to identify what is causing the problem. From there you can find the best treatment to relieve the symptom while trying to prevent the cause of the illness.
Dr. Morosky and Family Nurse Practitioner, Elizabeth Doty, treat both adults and children in Enfield, Glastonbury, and Wethersfield.

The last utopians
four late 19th Century visionaries and their legacy
Editorial: Princeton University Press
Lugar de la edición: New Jersey. Estados Unidos de Norteamérica
Papel: Cartoné
The entertaining story of four utopian writers-Edward Bellamy, William Morris, Edward Carpenter, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman-and their continuing influence today
For readers reared on the dystopian visions of Nineteen Eighty-Four and The Handmaid's Tale, the idea of a perfect society may sound more sinister than enticing. In this lively literary history of a time before "Orwellian" entered the cultural lexicon, Michael Robertson reintroduces us to a vital strain of utopianism that seized the imaginations of late nineteenth-century American and British writers.
The Last Utopians delves into the biographies of four key figures--Edward Bellamy, William Morris, Edward Carpenter, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman-who lived during an extraordinary period of literary and social experimentation. The publication of Bellamy's Looking Backward in 1888 opened the floodgates of an unprecedented wave of utopian writing. Morris, the Arts and Crafts pioneer, was a committed socialist whose News from Nowhere envisions a workers' Arcadia. Carpenter boldly argued that homosexuals constitute a utopian vanguard. Gilman, a women's rights activist and the author of "The Yellow Wallpaper," wrote numerous utopian fictions, including Herland, a visionary tale of an all-female society.
These writers, Robertson shows, shared a belief in radical equality, imagining an end to class and gender hierarchies and envisioning new forms of familial and romantic relationships. They held liberal religious beliefs about a universal spirit uniting humanity. They believed in social transformation through nonviolent means and were committed to living a simple life rooted in a restored natural world. And their legacy remains with us today, as Robertson describes in entertaining firsthand accounts of contemporary utopianism, ranging from Occupy Wall Street to a Radical Faerie retreat.

This Man Is Saving Coral Reefs by Creating Living Art
Jay Moon
Go big or stay home.
We've all heard the saying, but for British-born sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor, going big really meant going huge by shaping 60 tons worth of specially formulated concrete depicting a young girl holding the weight of the ocean on her shoulders into a living, breathing habitat for undersea wildlife and corals just off the coast of the Bahamas.
Something with that much literal weight to it deserves an equally enormous sounding name, and so Ocean Atlas was born. An homage to the ancient Greek statue of Titan Atlas being burdened with the heft of the world on shoulders so mighty Ah-nold Schwarzenegger could only dream of possessing them, Ocean Atlas, as with the majority of Taylor's underwater work, is designed to help established reef beds re-populate or create new coral growth in areas that mankind's meddlesome industrial ways have either severely damaged or flat-out destroyed them.It carries with it a message Taylor hopes the youth of today realize the importance of.
Another well-known Taylor work, Vicissitudes, can be found off the coast of Grenada. Photo: Photo: Jason DeCaires Taylor
It's kind of empowering the younger generation to take responsibility for their oceans, to feel like they are the ones sustaining it, holding it up, stopping it from collapsing."
Jason deCaires Taylor
For an artist like the 42-year old Taylor, whose underwater creations can be found around the globe including installations in waters off the coast of Grenada (The Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park) and Cancun (The Museum of Underwater Art), tackling a project as massive as Ocean Atlas meant incorporating a wide range of underlying themes.
"Art is certainly at the forefront but there's elements of architecture in there. There's elements of conservation, there's elements of science, of tourism. There's many different things that come into it," he explains.
The focal piece of the Sir Nicholas Nuttall Coral Reef Sculpture Garden and commissioned by the Bahamas Reef Environmental Education Foundation (B.R.E.E.F, absolutely no affiliation with the Man from U.N.C.L.E.), Ocean Atlas was installed under the guidance of Taylor in early October 2014 after nearly a year of planning, creating, and construction.
Measuring in at 18 feet tall (5.5 metres) from bended knee to outstretched hand, Ocean Atlas (the largest underwater sculpture in the world) was modelled on a 10-year old Bahamian girl named Camilla. "I was keen on having a strong cultural tie to the island and the girl is a local schoolchild there," says Taylor. "I try and let the local culture and landscape inform the works as much as possible."

From there several scaled-up molds were made, all of which were built by Taylor in England and then shipped to the Bahamas where they were assembled by five assistants (comprised of area residents and people who work with Taylor on other projects) and filled with a pH neutral concrete that is optimized to encourage and sustain coral growth (a recipe Taylor has been tweaking and perfecting in the 10 years he has been creating underwater exhibits).
Sounds simple enough. Hold your horses, everyone.
Construction nears completion, and Ocean Atlas gets ready to be dunked. Photo: Jason DeCaires Taylor
Huge scaffolding had to be erected first, along with a frame sturdy enough that it wouldn't split as tons of concrete was being poured into each mold. When filled, each piece of this giant, stackable puzzle weighed in at 8 tons. Safety was a priority for Taylor and the team, since this puzzle could potentially maim or kill a person if a piece happened to fall or slip out of place.
The finishing touches on the installation. Photo: livescience.com
Things weren't any easier at the selected installation spot, roughly 100 feet from shore. There were days when this construction contingent, including certified diver Taylor, couldn't even swim to the site because of oil slicks emanating from a deep water well being operated by a refinery further down the coastline.
"It's a difficult situation," begins Taylor. "The oil refinery powers the entire island and provides all its electricity and light so it's not a case of just shutting it down and saying, 'go somewhere else'. Solutions still have to be found."

As a result the local government, which also happens to own the refinery in question, pledged $10 million to fix the leak and additionally clean up some of the coastline the sludge was affecting.
Ocean Atlas was gently placed underwater one cumbersome piece at a time by crane and sits atop a giant 10-ton foundation plate made of the same concrete as the statue. Additionally, two 5-ton weights were placed on the foundation for stabilization, and anchors that can hold 30 tons each had to be drilled into the sand beneath.
The intention is that everything that is submerged underwater will eventually have coral growing on, or around it. It is art that will continue to evolve, adapt, and change. Flags and solar-powered lights above the surface of the water alert area fishermen to stay clear during their trek home at night, and also allows snorkelers, scuba divers, swimmers, and tourist boats to know where to go to view the spectacle that is Ocean Atlas.
"I'm always interested in new environments, new seas, new oceans, new conditions, new marine life. I'm always trying to do something different and not repeating myself." Taylor summarizes, just before revealing that a future project will hopefully entail a sculpture being placed 8000 feet (2348 metres) underwater on an area of the ocean floor that is in peril due to deep sea mining but would only be accessible by submersibles. Some hotshot film director/deep water enthusiast and Schwarzenegger sidekick named James Cameron has even been in touch. Ocean Ah-nold Atlas does have a nice ring to it…

Q: How should I design my page to allow for dynamic movement of elements on the page? I'm working on an ASP.NET page where I've got 10 entities.  I'll call them Items.  An Item can be displayed in one of two modes:  Featured or Thumbnail.  At any given time there is one Featured Item at the top of the page, and the rest are Thumbnails arranged in a 3x3 grid underneath the featured Item  Each item is an ASP usercontrol that contains two divs:  one div for Featured and one for Thumbnail -- when the item is Featured, the Thumbnail div is set as invisible and vice versa.
My current goal is to be able to click on any of the Thumbnails and have it physically swap places with the currently featured item to make the clicked Thumbnail become the new current Featured item at the top of the page.  The eventual goal is to use jQuery to animate the movement but this is only a side consideration at this point.  Also please note that I am trying to do all this without the use of page refreshes (i.e. I wish to use AJAX or javascript)
Here are some of the possibilities that I have been thinking about:

*

*Put the entire page inside an UpdatePanel and rearrange which Item usercontrol goes to which placeholder (i'm using placeholders)

*

*Pros:  easy

*Cons:  VERY INEFFICIENT.  Each Item already has a couple UpdatePanels in them despite my trying to minimize my use of them

*Use jQuery/javascript to swap the order of the items' occurrences within the page

*

*Pros:  simply swapping the order would work because I have the items arranged by floating

*Cons:  my javascript/jquery is weak, and if a user ever navigates away and comes back the change will not persist.

Dear web dev wizards out there, what would you do if you were in my shoes?

A: This feels a bit like a slide show. As such, I'd go strictly client side javascript. I wouldn't worry too much about state persistence though you could do that if you want by setting a cookie or appending the url with anchor hashes.
Also, at that point, you wouldn't really need multiple DIVs for each item. You could, via the jQuery move the div itself and then change the SRC attribute (and CSS) of the image to go fetch the larger one.

New York's Best and Bravest are life savers
My hair may be turning grey, and I have a job, a professional reputation and responsibilities, but hidden just under the surface is the same six-year-old boy who marveled at his first LEGO fire truck, back in the eighties. With the pandemic, for many of us, the last few months probably haven't been easy. For me, personally, things could be a lot worse. I am healthy and so are my loved ones, I have job security and can work from the comfort of my home. Nonetheless, I am stressed by the uncertainty and by a never-ending amount of work, in combination with not being able to do many of the things I usually do to relax, such as traveling, meeting friends and attending LEGO events.
One thing that does help is being able to channel that six-year-old. I pop up to my loft and put some LEGO bricks together almost every day. And what does my inner six-year-old lifesavers? Well, fire trucks, of course. With a few decades of building experience under my belt and an adult's disposable income, they're obviously going to be elaborate. This pair of vehicles represents a Seagrave ladder truck and an ambulance, as operated by the New York Fire Department (FDNY). They are life savers in a real-world sense, but building them also kept me from going nuts.
The ambulance is a partial rebuild of an older model, but we never featured any of the earlier versions. The FDNY uses ambulances based on pick-up trucks. My model also started off as a regular pickup truck, and I subsequently rebuilt it as an ambulance. In recent years the FDNY has started using vehicles with extended cabs, so last week, I rebuilt mine again. It has a new front and a longer cab, and I changed the details to represent the newer version. I also added a new paramedic figure to represent "New York's Best." These people were in the front line when COVID-19 hit New York.
To those of you who are long-term readers of The Brothers Brick, the Seagrave ladder truck may look familiar. An earlier version appeared here all the way back in 2008. Unlike some of my helicopter models, which I've been rebuilding almost from the ground up, it hasn't changed all that much. The model is so old that the FDNY has retired its real-world counterparts from regular service. The ones left are used by reserve companies or as spares, to temporarily replace trucks that are under repair or undergoing maintenance. During an earlier rebuild, I already replaced the yellow with bright light orange. During the latest update, I gave it a new windscreen. I also shortened the cab and tidied up some of the details. The FDNY's ladder trucks typically have signs attached to their ladders that show which ladder company operates them. The reserve trucks don't have those, so all of the girders on their ladders are visible. This meant I had to rebuild the ladder on mine. Mathematics nerds (much like me) might appreciate that I built the girders using Pythagorean triples. A right-angled triangle with sides of three and four units long has a hypotenuse (the diagonal) that is five long. That means that the outer studs of a six-long LEGO plate (on which the centers of those studs are five lengths apart) can be used to build triangles that fit perfectly onto a rectangular grid.

Well-known Agen Bola Indo11.com revealed, West Brom coach Alan Irvine has confidence in his future at The Hawthorns, insisting he does not fear the sack.
The coach said: "I spoke to the chairman after training but not about that [job] and he didn't speak to me about that. He was great. I went to see him about a completely different matter. We spent 15 minutes just chatting over different things and he was great, as he has been all of the time. I'm really grateful for the support he's given me."
He added: "I understand the way things are in this job. There's a short-term culture nowadays and, if it's not Alan Pardew getting stick, as he was six or seven weeks ago, it's somebody else."

An old friend has been fighting breast cancer for 16 years and it had moved into her liver. The doctor's tried everything and recommended her for hospice.
I made a special blend of 30 drops Frankincense, 20 drops Lavender, 10 drops Tsuga, 10 drops Ledum and 4 tablespoons of castor oil. These were supposed to be applied directly over the liver but since she was unconscious and attached to a lot of tubing, I got her husbands approval and I simply applied them to her feet - praying over the oils and commanding them to do the work in her body that God created them to do and calling down heaven on her behalf.
That night, the nurses said she slept more peacefully than any night she had been in the hospital. The next day, however, the doctor's had further bad news. They told the family that the cancer had moved to her brain and was metastasizing and that it was attacking the area that created speech, so basically she would never be able to talk to her family again and she would only survive 24hrs - 10 days tops.
I simply took all of that news and filed it in my "whatever" bin and anointed her again on her feet with the blend I had put together. Her family began calling it her daily spa treatment. But I knew it was more powerful than that and God knew even more - in fact He had other plans all together. On the third day, she was awake and answering questions by nodding. I did her "spa treatment" and prayed over her.
On the fourth day she was talking - answering not just simple "yes" and "no" but TALKING - doctors were baffled - I was not. I knew each day that something else WONDERFUL was going to happen. On the fifth day, she was fully talking, laughing and joking with the nurses and teasing her brother. She was now requesting "spa treatments". She also began to have bowel movements - several - this even though she had been on only IV's for 3-4 weeks! I believe her body was cleansing. PRAISE THE LORD!!
On the sixth day, they announced she was strong enough and they transferred her to a hospice near her home. The doctors still expected her to die. They kept saying that this was a temporary recovery before the end - God bless 'em.
In case some of you are unaware, hospice is the place where they send patients to die. It is terminal care to make them comfortable when medical science has done all they know to do and can't do anymore. It is extremely depressing and no one leaves hospice except to go into eternity. No one, that is, except someone that God has helped. That's right, she was in hospice about a week and they told her to go home - they just couldn't understand why someone eating regular food and showering on their own needed hospice!
