How Catalyst Fund and PayGo Energy Built the Base of a Micro-Payment Architecture
Authored by: Javier Linares
January 19, 2017 - 4 mins read
As startups move past a proof of concept and start to scale, they require whole new sets of systems, operational processes and skills. Startups often have to develop initial, high-level systems that will allow them to grow and expand in future. A well-thought out back-end system determines the quality of product and service a startup provides to their consumers. To build a great back-end system, a startup requires a team with the technical expertise to implement the right changes.
The Context
Early stage startups usually have small teams, and struggle to find and retain the right talent at the right time, because of the high demand, limited resources and sometimes not knowing what kind of talent is needed as they grow. In the case of PayGo Energy; a distribution service that harnesses the power of pay-as-you-go technology to bring modern fuel to homes everywhere, it was the latter. Working in a highly challenging environment: early stage, East African context, with limited bandwidth, PayGo Energy needed some help identifying, designing and developing one of the most important components of their business. They needed someone to fully understand and translate their requirements into objectives, improve and enrich the software value proposition and start building a base to grow their customer network from dozens to tens of thousands.
Over the course of two months, Catalyst Fund helped inject the skills and knowledge of an interim CTO to quickly build the base of PayGo Energy's payment architecture. Working lean and using off the shelf software, Catalyst Fund brought essential skills, specific systems knowledge and a CRM to the PayGo Energy team.
Together, they sought to understand the current solution, analyze the main drawbacks to scale, identify other related stakeholders needs, and build the foundation for their processes and system. Together, they answered the following question:
How can PayGo improve the customer experience with the software back-end and boost engagement with the pay-as-you-go model?

PayGo Energy has developed its own smart metering technology that records gas consumption, monitors user credit and shuts off the valve when the user runs out of credit from the most inaccessible household locations. The prototyped smart metering solution is now being used by early adopters. However, in order to scale and cater to hundreds of users, PayGo Energy's system had several challenges which needed to be addressed. These were:
Integration with a scalable gas payments solution
A lack of a platform to aggregate key customer health indicators including consumption patterns, gas remaining in tank and battery remaining on unit
Tools to measure, monitor and run effectively an in-the-field sales force and customer service
Creating a base software architecture allowed PayGo Energy to learn how to use tools and build on them to achieve short and medium term goals such as optimization of gas distribution, monitoring of workflows and future additions of new features such as mobile apps, loans and credit scoring algorithms.
PayGo Energy Software Architecture Diagram
To design, build and fully test a base software architecture the PayGo Energy system was connected using the following components:
APIs using Zapier and Google App Scripts to receive data from cylinders in real time and trigger actions to refill and maintenance
mPesa's bill payments solution to accept and record user's payments
Google Sheets as a database
AppSheet to develop mobile apps without the need for coding for CRM, inventory management, sales and customer service applications
A communication channels via Slack to keep everyone on the team posted
Currently, PayGo Energy is preparing to shift from Google Sheets to SQL databases, and from Google App Script to a platform as a service (PaaS) such as Heroku, Google App Engine or OpenShift among others. In addition, the communication tools (Zapier and Slack) are now embedded within the company and used every day to update the teams on progress. The use of these tools is likely to increase once more employees join the company. AppSheet has been a useful platform for those on the team with an understanding of how databases function. It provides useful tools for coding without needing the technical knowledge allowing the team to jump 'straight to mobile'. As a result, they have been able to speed up the task of process definition and business process improvement.
"Without the support it's likely that we would have spend much more money on a system that might not even have fitted our requirements. With Catalyst Fund's support we were able to define our requirements, tackle the most urgent issues immediately, get the early adopters onto the system, support operations with the data and plan a development timeline to support the growth. In addition, the tools provided are easy to use for someone like myself with a half decent understanding of databases and if/then logic."
– Mark O'Keefe, Cofounder, PayGo Energy
Working with PayGo Energy and helping them define their short, medium and longer term development priorities enabled them to identify key areas for investment (e.g. payment aggregation platform) and the development of a clear scope of work for the requirements of conducting a 200 household pilot. What PayGo Energy also learned are some helpful tips for other startups out there in the same boat. They are:
Talk to software developers that have been through the 'start up' experience early and often (they are nice and do not bite).
Get feedback and define requirements to identify when you need technical support (e.g. script development).
Do as much as you can with the free/freemium tools available. e.g. Google Sheets, AppSheets, Zapier, Slack. By struggling through the use of the tools you find out what works/does not work very quickly.
This temporary yet scalable foundation gives PayGo Energy time and a clear road to improving the architecture. This is valuable time to focus on gas distribution while they start to learn quickly and as much as possible about how their system works.
Without the support of Catalyst Fund, it is likely that PayGo Energy would have spent much more time and money on a system that might not have met their requirements. We are especially pleased to know that PayGo Energy gained a new appreciation for the importance of the software and the benefits of having a team with the right technical expertise. We look forward to seeing them succeed in their endeavors.

Only a 2h Race at Montmeò this weekend with CER!
Talking with CER organiser, we had a nice idea.
CER has a different format but is a similar concept such as Euroseries talking about eligible cars and classes. We decided then to put all participants on a single grid!
So the BMW, Megane and Ginetta W & D, Zero Racing, AKF, and Nova Race will compete on equal terms with Spanish colleagues (Seat, Ginetta and other cars).
The scores we will get in CER will then be translated into Euroseries score to avoid the complication of the coexistence of two regulations and two scoring calculations.
Basically class 1 of CER correspond to Euroseries Plus and CER class 2 to Euroseries class.
Euroseries will maintain their main sponsors as a series and all the conditions offered to the participants will remain, they will have their hospitality and television production, and all the benefits of participating in the series.
We will be broadcast on Automoto tv and San Marino TV with a nice magazine of fifty-minute with highlights of the race, and italian commentary, and interviews with the protagonists. It will appear also on our website and facebook pages and on our You Tube channel.

After Trump's outburst, US to probe tech firms for 'stifling' free speech
Sep 6, 2018, 10:53 am IST
Trump accused big technology firms of censoring and suppressing conservative voices, allegations strongly denied by the companies.

Washington: The US Justice Department said Wednesday it would probe social media giants over concerns over competition and "stifling the free exchange of ideas."
The announcement comes days after President Donald Trump accused big technology firms of censoring and suppressing conservative voices, allegations strongly denied by the companies.
A Justice Department statement said Attorney General Jeff Sessions "has convened a meeting with a number of state attorneys general this month to discuss a growing concern that these companies may be hurting competition and intentionally stifling the free exchange of ideas on their platforms."
The brief statement, which came at the conclusion of a Senate hearing including top executives of Facebook and Twitter, offered no clues on whether officials were considering an antitrust investigation or some form of regulatory action.
Tech industry analysts say there is little evidence internet firms are filtering content for political reasons, but that the companies would have constitutional protections against any government effort to regulate their algorithms.
On Tuesday, Federal Communications chairman Ajit Pai said Silicon Valley firms to provide more transparency about how they operate, raising the possibility of tougher regulations for technology firms.
"We need to seriously think about whether the time has come for these companies to abide by new transparency obligations," Pai said in a blog post.
Pai offered no specific proposals, but appeared to echo concerns raised by Trump, who claimed tech firms may be biased against conservatives.
"Consumers interact with these digital platforms on a daily basis. We get our news from them. We interact with our family and friends on them," Pai wrote.
Trump last week issued a warning to Google, Facebook and Twitter to "be careful" but stopped short of calling for regulation.
Twitter chief Jack Dorsey rejected any suggestion of political bias in comments prepared for a House of Representatives hearing Wednesday.
"Twitter does not use political ideology to make any decisions, whether related to ranking content on our service or how we enforce our rules," Dorsey said in his written testimony.
"We believe strongly in being impartial, and we strive to enforce our rules impartially."
Google and Facebook have made similar points.
Daniel Castro of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation said the intent of the statement was not clear but that the statement was worrisome.
"Social media platforms have the right to determine what types of legal speech they will permit on their platforms," Castro told AFP.
"The federal government should not use the threat of law enforcement to limit companies from exercising this right. In particular, law enforcement should not threaten social media companies with unfounded investigations for booting white nationalists like Richard Spencer off their platforms."

Understand the main functions of the Racing Lovers Slot Machine
On November 5, 2020 November 5, 2020 By franck
Developed by the software publisher Yggdrasil, the Racing Lovers slot machine is a game available on all sites without downloading. It brings the authentic magic of harness racing to the casino gaming landscape. Exclusively playable at ATG Casino, Racing Lovers is a thoroughbred game played at 5×3 reels on 20 paylines that puts the player at the heart of the racetrack. The initial bet can range from €0.20 to €100 to allow players to win racing prizes as big as 10,000 coins.
The Substitute Wild, one of the basic features
The Racing Lovers slot machine immerses the player directly into the world of horse racing. The player must take on an exceptional challenge that allows him to compete against the best jockeys in the world. The jockeys are represented by symbols with horses accompanied by their riders, who race straight towards the player. Note that all the symbols are not equal since the red and purple horses are in the lead, then there are the blue and green ones, without forgetting the other classic symbols.
However, the Racing Lovers slot machine does have bonus symbols such as the substitute Wild. This symbol is an integral part of the basic Racing Lovers features and is represented by a golden horse. Its main advantage is its ability to replace all existing symbols in the game, except for the Free spins. Note that the Free spins mode is activated with 3, 4 or 5 Free spin symbols represented by a horse surrounded by flowers.
Presentation of the bonus
The bonus is one of the must-have features of the Racing Lovers slot machine. It comes in the form of a Pick Me game. The more Scatter symbols you have, the more free spins can be won with a large number of picks. This option allows you to win between 6 and 10 free spins with 3 to 5 picks. Also, depending on the Jockey helmets chosen, other bonus options will be revealed during the game phases.
These types of bonuses include Extra Free spins and win multipliers. There are also a large number of strong acting symbols such as Wilds, Random Wilds or Sticky Wilds. All in all, the Racing Lovers Slot Machine provides access to a variety of bonus symbols, which are indispensable elements for increasing your chances of winning.
Players also have the right to activate the Golden Bet mode to get an extra draw when triggering the Free spins. This action costs 5 extra credits per spin. For turf gamers who love the spirit of racing, this Yggdrasil gaming slot is the perfect choice for them.
Other options to discover on the Racing Lovers Slot Machine
Yggdrasil's stable allows video slot players to experience the atmosphere of a racetrack. It provides subtle sounds that reproduce all the temperaments to be experienced during each race. During the sprint, he will discover free spins and the free Pick & Click bonus.
These elements illuminate the game landscape with 13 jockey helmets hiding potential rewards. These can be win multipliers, re-spins or even jokers. All in all, Yggdrasil's Racing Lovers slot is a true work of art that mimics the authentic style of a classic American horse racing track.

The Chicago Cubs and Their Lost Identity
Written by P.J. Anderson
After falling to the Royals again, the Cubs lost their third straight series. The 2011 season has followed suit with 2010, turning into a dismal year of frustration. One of the main reasons is their lack of identity.
The Cubs simply lose.
No longer are they the "Lovable Losers" as I came to know them as a child. All the fun of the Sosa years are long gone. They are just a confusing organization, lacking any direction or leadership. As series after series is lost, the Cubs face the same dilemmas as in previous years: they've spent too much money on once proven players (Soriano especially, and more recently, Garza and Pena) and they aren't getting any younger (minus the talented middle-infield of Castro and Barney).
Of course, there are still the 'what-ifs' that many supporters stand by: "Soriano was a 40-40 player until he got hurt!" etc. Even if Soriano remained healthy, this would not be a winning ball club for the future. In 2008, the Cubs built a team to win that year. When 2009 rolled around, the core of the club was still successful, and not many changes were made.
The Cubs seem to be stuck in 2008. They need to move on. Ricketts was bold by testing Garza and Pena, who have shown they are not the players they once were. Great. Move on. The Cubs need a roster overhaul, and with Jim Hendry's passive-aggressiveness in the free-agency market (who really knows what the Pujols hug meant?), the Cubs won't be contenders for the next few years. What they need to do is find a brand of baseball. All they need to do to find it? Look to the South Side.
Yes. The White Sox.
The White Sox developed a brand of baseball around their slogan "All In." Not only do the fans associate with the mantra, but so do the players. The Sox are under .500 but it's not due to the same reason the Cubs are. Yes, the Cubs have been plagued by injuries, but every replacement seems to play like they were taken out of the bleachers at Wrigley. How many games can the Cubs lose by kicked ground balls? How many more because Soriano walks to a fly and still somehow misjudges it? The White Sox may lose more than they win (my gut says they win over 80 games) but it least it looks like they're trying.
The 2005 White Sox were not the most talented team in the Majors. But they won a World Series.
They developed their own brand of baseball. This lead to a team that played better than they were (no-one hit over .300 and their 5th starter was Orlando Hernandez…Yes, 39 year-old Orlando Hernandez) and they earned a ring. Piloted by the "All In" slogan and ever-so chilling anthem of Thunderstruck, the White Sox created South Side baseball and fans that appreciated it.
Who are the Cubs?
We'll let you know in a few years…

Pakistani passport stands fourth worst in the world
By Faizan Ahmed July 20, 2022 Updated: August 18, 2022 No Comments2 Mins Read
The Pakistani passport has once again been listed as the fourth worst in the world, with unfettered access to only 32 locations worldwide, according to a new quarterly study released by London-based global citizenship and residence advice business Henley & Partners.
Pakistan held the 109th-place ranking on the Henley Passport Index in April, making it the fourth worst passport to possess. Only 31 other nations granted Pakistan visa-free travel, according to the report.
Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan are the nations rated below Pakistan in the most recent quarterly assessment.
Since 2006, the "Henley Passport Index" of Henley & Partners has been tracking the best traveler-friendly passports available worldwide.
After examining and rating various travel documents from all the countries, the ranking is completed. The degree of international mobility that passport holders have is what is largely being evaluated.
The finest passport to own, according to the ranking, is that of Japan, which is followed by Singapore, Germany, Spain, Finland, Italy, and Luxembourg.

All the fun things about Easter are pagan. Bunnies are a leftover from the pagan festival of Eostre, a great northern goddess whose symbol was a rabbit or hare. Exchange of eggs is an ancient custom, celebrated by many cultures.
If Easter isn't really about Jesus, then what is it about? Today, we see a secular culture celebrating the spring equinox, whilst religious culture celebrates the resurrection. However, early Christianity made a pragmatic acceptance of ancient pagan practises, most of which we enjoy today at Easter. The general symbolic story of the death of the son (sun) on a cross (the constellation of the Southern Cross) and his rebirth, overcoming the powers of darkness, was a well worn story in the ancient world. There were plenty of parallel, rival resurrected saviours too.
In an ironic twist, the Cybele cult flourished on today's Vatican Hill. Cybele's lover Attis, was born of a virgin, died and was reborn annually. This spring festival began as a day of blood on Black Friday, rising to a crescendo after three days, in rejoicing over the resurrection. There was violent conflict on Vatican Hill in the early days of Christianity between the Jesus worshippers and pagans who quarrelled over whose God was the true, and whose the imitation. What is interesting to note here is that in the ancient world, wherever you had popular resurrected god myths, Christianity found lots of converts. So, eventually Christianity came to an accommodation with the pagan Spring festival. Although we see no celebration of Easter in the New Testament, early church fathers celebrated it, and today many churches are offering "sunrise services" at Easter – an obvious pagan solar celebration. The date of Easter is not fixed, but instead is governed by the phases of the moon – how pagan is that?
Easter is essentially a pagan festival which is celebrated with cards, gifts and novelty Easter products, because it's fun and the ancient symbolism still works.

The "psg next match" is the name of a football club in France. They are currently playing in Ligue 1 and will be playing against Marseille on December 3, 2018.
The City of Light is about more than just food and art, it's also a place where amazing things happen. This article discusses some of the most interesting events that have taken place in Paris during its storied history.
Lionel Messi's previous Champions League goals for PSG were against Manchester City and RB Leipzig.
With a late comeback to overcome Nantes, Lionel Messi scored his first goal in Ligue 1 as Paris St-Germain surged 13 points ahead at the top.
Three minutes from time, Messi curled home a left-footed goal from 20 yards.
PSG took an early lead thanks to Kylian Mbappe, but the hosts were relegated to ten men when goalkeeper Keylor Navas sprinted out of his area to foul Ludovic Blas.
Nantes equalized via Randal Kolo Muani's backheel, but Messi's calculated shot and Dennis Appiah's spectacular own goal won it.
Les Parisiens' win was their 12th in 14 league games, and it seemed to be a foregone conclusion when they controlled the first half, boosted by Mbappe's second-minute opening.
Albon Lafont, though, kept Nantes in the game with a run of saves to deny Messi and Neymar until his opposite number, Navas, was sent off for a reckless rush of blood.
His successor Sergio Rico, who had been substituted for Neymar, made a fine save from Muani's header but was unable to save the Nantes forward's improvised rebound.
But Appiah's 20-yard interception of a Messi ball allowed the former Barcelona playmaker – whose three previous PSG goals had all come in the Champions League – to break his domestic drought in his sixth Ligue 1 appearance.

Editor's note: The following are extracts from Pietro Ramirez's 1938 book The Art of Kissing, a hilarious little book on kissing. Ramirez starts by teaching readers how to do the basic "lip-kiss" as well , the "French'soul' kiss" (with a crucial section on "How to Kiss Girls With Different Sizes of Mouths"). He then advises readers to broaden their kissing repertoire, saying that "variety kisses are the spice of love."
Some of you may be wondering why such kissing subterfuges and replacements are required. It's just that man is a questioning creature. He is never pleased with the conventional and mundane since the mundane gets tedious after a while. I don't intend to imply that the standard "lip-kiss" is commonplace. Certainly not. As I previously said, the "lip-kiss" is the pièce de résistance, the main dish in the "banquet of love," as Ovid put it. Consider a lunch consisting of seven meals of filet mignon or seven dishes of lobster. After the third course, you'd be weary of a delicate filet, wouldn't you? You wouldn't be able to look a lobster in the eye after the second lobster, if a lobster had eyes. So you can understand why if you engaged in lip-kissing solely, you'd lose all of its ecstatic taste.
ADD DIVERSITY TO YOUR KISSES.
The Vacuum Kiss is number one on the list.
You begin by opening your mouth a smidgeon after you have been sleeping blissfully with closed lips. Brush your partner's teeth with the tip of your tongue to indicate that you want her to do the same. Instead of massaging her lips when she replies, suck inward as if you were attempting to extract the insides of an orange. If your maid is aware of this kiss variation, she will remove the air from your lips in the same manner. In this manner, the air will be completely sucked out of your lips in a very short time. Your lips will stick together so firmly that you will nearly feel pain rather than pleasure. However, it will be a pain that is very delightful. Although this may seem strange, it is a reality. Pain becomes terrible to the point of becoming pleasurable.
This kiss must, by necessity, endure for a few seconds. The sensitive oral tissues are under too much stress, and the muscles fatigue quickly. As a result, this kiss should be kept to a minimum. However, there is a unique procedure that must be utilized to put an end to it. Don't abruptly pull your lips away after you've had enough. If there are other people in the home, at the very least, don't do it. Because they will be surprised by the sound of a loud report if you act unexpectedly. When a vacuum is abruptly exposed to the air, it makes a loud popping sound. The method consists of just opening a corner of your mouth initially. When you're done, you'll hear a small hissing sound. The pressure in your mouth will immediately decrease.
Muscles will unwind. And a lovely sensation of torpor will settle over your whole body, giving it an almost beatific lassitude.
2. The Kiss on the Eyelashes
The young guy should bend over the face of the girl after an intensive time of "soul kissing" or vacuum kissing, and both lovers fall back tiredly staring into one other's eyes. However, instead of implanting his lips on hers, he should make direct contact with her cheek once again. After then, he should drop his eyelashes so that they entangle with his partner's eyelash. This is done one eye at a time, of course. When the entanglement is complete, each person should slowly raise and drop their eyes. The interaction of the eyelash hair with the skin is virtually indescribable. To summarize, it is a delightful bypath through the love meadows that is enjoyable, intriguing, and yet not tiring.
The Nip Kiss is number three.
Naturally, the kisser is not expected to open his lips like a lion's jaws and then sink his fangs into the kisser's delicate skin in the "nip kiss." Ridiculous! The method is the same as a regular kiss, only instead of sealing your lips with the kiss, you leave them slightly open and take a fun bite into the nape of the neck, the cheek, or the lips, as if you were about to nibble on a delectable morsel. Just a smidgeon is sufficient. And the resulting pleasure will, I tell you, much outweigh the little discomfort.
4. Kiss with a Delay
[The delayed kiss] is technically not a variant, but rather a change in the technique of the regular "lip-kiss." It utilises the "delayed action" technique in its implementation. The strategy is based on the ancient fable of the fox and the grapes that were tantalizingly held over his head. Simply said, just before you lower your lips for the kiss, pull your head back again instead of planting the kiss. Then, without kissing, keep your lips open. Hold this stance for as long as you can while smiling seductively into the girl's eyes. Finally, when you and she have had enough of the anticipation, drop your lips gently, as slowly as you can, and stamp the seal of love into your loved one's eager mouth. After then, there is no particular activity required by the approach. Kissing, like loving, comes naturally.
The Electric Kiss is number five.
A strange kissing habit occurred a few years ago that needs to be mentioned since we may learn how to adapt the procedure to our current technologies from it. When groups of young people gathered together during the time, they organized "electric kissing parties." Young people are always looking for new methods to occupy themselves. When ether was initially introduced as an anesthetic, the town's young bloods used to organize "ether-sniffing" parties where they could get a wonderfully squiffy ether "jag." Returning to the "electric kisses," though. Perhaps a passage from a current writer can help us understand what happened:
"The ladies and gentlemen spread out around the room. The women choose a partner for leap year and shuffle about on the carpet together till they are charged with electricity, the lights in the room having been dimmed beforehand. Then they kiss in the dark, making sparks fly for the audience's pleasure."
On dry evenings when the air is overburdened with electricity, a similar experiment may be carried out today. However, make sure that neither you nor your spouse contact each other after frantically moving your feet around the carpet. Simply lean forward gently until your lips are approximately half an inch apart, then slow down even further until the spark leaps. The kiss version, on the other hand, requires a lot of practice before it can be done correctly. When people are shocked, their natural instinct is to draw away from one other. However, try to resist this natural need since the pleasure will be gone if you do not kiss right after the shock has been delivered.
After some practice, you will grow so used to the little jolt that you will seek out progressively powerful electric shocks. These may be produced by using an electric vibrator or, in fact, any gadget that is powered by a battery and a coil that boosts the battery's weak 3-volts. This kind of electricity-testing gadget with two handles may be seen at shooting galleries. The approach is the same regardless of what you're using: first, grab one pole of the live wire, or the machine's handle, if that's what you're using. The other pole, or handle, should then be taken by your partner. After then, draw your lips together until approximately an eighth of an inch separates them. Turn the rheostat to increase the current at this time. A quick violent spark will leap the distance between your lips as soon as the charge is strong enough. Learn not to recoil and instead embrace the chance to bring your lips together in a great, climactic kiss. This approach has the benefit of allowing you to control the electrical charge, allowing you to raise the current nearly endlessly after you've grown used to one strength.
However, a word of caution is appropriate here. Be happy with the current that this battery combination produces. Don't be like a young friend of mine who realized that the battery set was too weak for him and his companion even at its greatest power. He chose to test what would happen if he used conventional home electricity as the electrical stimulation since he is an experimenter. As a result, he and his accomplice positioned themselves in front of an electrical wall outlet into which he had fitted a plug and a frayed wire that had separated the two wires. He grabbed one cable and instructed the female to grab the other. Then, employing the standard "electric-kiss" approach, he knelt down and began to gently bring his lips to the girl's lips. He got about a half-inch away from her lips, and that was all. Because he saw a brilliant flame scorch across his eyes and felt a huge blow knock him off his feet a split second later. When he regained consciousness long enough to see where he was, he found himself sprawled on the floor, his girlfriend nearby in a similar posture. As a consequence, both of their lips were scorched, and they were both determined to kiss the old fashioned manner. The flame will constantly be repelled by the burnt lip.
6. The Kiss That Moves
The "dancing kiss" is a really enjoyable manner to kiss. The satisfaction is enhanced once again by the proximity of the players' bodies. What more could a couple of loves want than a darkly lit dance floor, Wayne King's sweet, rhythmical waltz playing in the background, their arms around each other, their eager young bodies kissing one other in a variety of exciting places, their cheeks meeting in radiant, velvety strokes? Naturally, the norms of social politeness will prevent the couple from sharing a highly suitable "lip-kiss." Although this may simply be done in the quiet of one's own parlor while listening to music on the radio. In reality, given certain conditions, the "electric kiss" may be executed perfectly. When dancing in a public area, however, the only kisses authorized are those that are snatched beneath the chaperone's watchful eye. Allow your lips to contact your partner's earlobe, cheek, and chin while pretending to murmur sweet nothings into her shell of an ear. Perhaps a few sneaky eye kisses can be snatched in this way as well. However, the delighted pair should be able to survive on these stolen sweets till they return home. The two may then indulge in all of the variants outlined in this booklet to their hearts' and lips' delight, fueled by the anticipation of these earlier non-lip kisses. Meanwhile, they could recollect these lyrics from Sir John Suckling's "Ballad of a Wedding":
Oh, they get up and dance; then they sit down, sigh, and look; then they dance and kiss again.
7. The Kiss of Surprise
The "surprise kiss" is a particularly lovely way of kissing. When one of the parties has fallen asleep, say on the couch, this is done. When the other enters the room and finds his sweetheart sleeping, he should tip-toe quietly over to her. Then, carefully lowering his head, he should kiss her on the lips with a delicate, downy, feathery kiss. This initial kiss should be soft and gentle. However, the intensity of the kisses should gradually rise until the sleeping one has woken, and then even further. The sensation of being roused from a deep slumber is nearly divine. She feels vaguely, faintly, as if it were the touch of a butterfly's wing, a slight kiss on her lips, while in the middle of a dream, most likely a good one, since it will involve the other half of the partnership. Naturally, she imagines it is part of her dream in the depths of her sleep, and the consequence is a really nice experience. The kisses progressively get more intense, even if she is still sleeping. And the good times keep rolling in. Then, as she begins to awaken, she realizes that the kisses are much too vivid to be a dream. She is certain, though, that she is dreaming. As a result, she has a relapse in her happiness and feels a stab of melancholy as she realizes that instead of being with her boyfriend, she is simply dreaming about him. Imagine her delight when she experiences the reality of an intense, impassioned kiss on her lips when she is thinking these boring thoughts. Her heart flutters frantically in her chest. Her heartbeat is frantic. She convinces herself that she is not sleeping. She then blinks and opens her eyes. And she sees her beloved's lovely face kneeling over her. And she feels his lips on hers, which are sensual. There isn't a more delightful way to wake up.

Just a quick note to all my friends. My daughter has recovered and is now home. She was in the hospital for a week. The only lingering effect is a rash all over her body that is an allergic reaction to one of the medicines they gave her. She's very itchy, but glad to be home.
My mind is now clear and my heart unburdened, and I will be able to get going with this blog again. Thanks for your patience. I have some great, unusual stuff lined up to post over the next few days, so please stay tuned.
Thanks for all of your kind words and prayers on my daughter's behalf.
