I’ve fallen out with a novel I had eagerly bought. I picked it out the ways I always do. I went to one of my favorite bookstores (aka a big store with a decent, varied collection and offering comfy seating and quiet to explore), took 5-10 books whose premise (and genre) I was intrigued by and read a little. I chose the one that appealed to my current reading need: a fun, fast-paced, emotional romance novel. (While I’m also a huge fan of thrillers, I’m working on a romantic/comedy/drama manuscript myself, it makes more sense to research the market – seeing what sells while getting the escapism I need.)
And it started fine enough. For the first 50/100 pages or so, it was unputdownable. I read it on the bus, on the escalators, before I went to bed… If I wasn’t working (or resting my eyes), I was reading it. Sure, there were some wordy descriptions, a few mentions in a foreign language and some jargon related to the characters’ work. It set the mood. It was sort of relevant. I didn’t mind.
But then the characters dropped their foreign language randomly in their sentences regularly. Some characters were from that foreign country so it made sense. Regrettably, it wasn’t one of the languages I sort of spoke. No, they went beyond your typical travel phrases or widely-known vocabulary. Then there was the jargon rain. It kept coming and coming.
Now, the book is aimed more at a female audience. The romantic storyline, a typical female character (I’ll get into the “typical” in my next post) and even the job (decoration-related) probably made the majority of female readers happy. But, you see, when it comes to interior design, I’m more like a guy than a girl . I don’t have an extended furniture vocabulary . Sure, I love shopping and decorating myself, but I don’t want to know the name/root/history of every single thing. So the book slowed down further. I kept giving breaks and then coming back.
The third turn-off was the detailed description of the more minor characters- characters we run into once or twice as the reader. Yes, I could picture them all vividly, but it took me off from the plots and subplots. Now, there are some things the book did very well. The woven storylines, the setting and the dialogue were pretty good. But I started rolling my eyes way too often, and the initial love and enthusiasm disappeared.
The good news is, the book breaks some rules with novel-writing advice. It’s good news, because it proves you can follow your heart, write your novel your own way and get it published. The bad news is, this book isn’t a debut. So the writer had some leeway. First-timers don’t usually have this luxury.
Now, the point is this post isn’t to critique one particular book (hence the absence of the the title and the name of the author), but to spark a discussion about using other languages, jargon, and the amount of details insignificant characters deserve. Basically, this author hasn’t killed her darlings but has given birth to them over and over and over again.
How do you feel about the use of them? How generous are you with these when it comes to your fiction? As for my musings on “typical“ female character, that’ll be in my next post, so please stay tuned. Until then, you can check out the problem with following advice in this post The Problem With Following Advice, and Writing Your Novel Your Way.

During a meeting, a Black staff member might be labeled as aggressive by a colleague for speaking up to voice an opinion.
“Why do you have to be so loud?” a white coworker might ask. “Just calm down.”
The verbal interaction, whether intentionally biased or not, is an example of a microaggression. Microaggressions are hostile, derogatory, or negative slights or acts of discrimination along racial, socioeconomic, religious, gender or sexual identities.
The 2021 Duke Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Climate Survey, the first survey of its kind that measured experiences of Duke University community members, revealed that among 12,751 respondents, more than half of Black, Hispanic, Asian, female, and LGBTQ+ members of the Duke community reported experiencing microaggressions in the past year.
In the survey, 74 percent of Black faculty and 44 percent of Black staff said that they’ve experienced microaggressions very often to sometimes in the past year.
Kimberly Hewitt, vice president for Institutional Equity and Chief Diversity Officer at Duke, said microaggressions negatively affect an institution’s climate and culture, particularly a community member’s productivity and health.
“It inhibits your ability to do your work because you don’t feel welcome,” Hewitt said. “You don’t feel like you’re going to thrive in a place where there are some perceptions that are based on negative stereotypes about your identity.”
Most often, an underlying cause of microaggressions is that people are not in relationships with diverse people. When people get to know each other, communication lines open. Someone hurt by a comment, or someone who witnessed a slight, may be more comfortable engaging in a conversation about it.
“If you haven’t spent time with someone of a different race, of a different gender identity, that’s the space where you have less understanding,” Hewitt said.
In the campus survey, faculty, staff and students said opportunities for social interaction would be a useful resource to prevent instances of discrimination and microaggressions.
When Shruti Desai, associate vice president of Student Affairs for Campus Life, joined Duke in 2021, she learned more about Jewish culture from Joyce Gordon, director of Jewish Life at Duke. That positive exposure has helped Desai serve students and expand her own understanding of microaggressions.
“It’s made me a better advocate of Jewish students,” said Desai, who is Indian American. “Microaggressions around Jewish identity are not something that I’ve always picked up on. Now, I’ve been educated to pay attention to those things.”
The Campus Climate & Assessment Subcommittee is creating a plan for how individual units and departments can improve the experience of underrepresented groups at Duke. Taking personal responsibility to build relationships with community members who are different is a positive first step, Hewitt said.
“At the institutional level, we can’t change the whole place a lot,” she said. “It has to happen at the local level.”

This story has been updated from an earlier version.
TUCKAHOE, N.Y. Yesterday, the good news was that a single lane on Yonkers Avenue in Tuckahoe will be open for traffic for the next few months.
But late last night Mayor Steve Ecklond said engineers nixed that plan.
"In light of recent road damages throughout the region and subsequent engineering advice from the Army Corps of Engineers, it has been recommended that Yonkers Avenue remain closed to vehicular traffic until such time that lateral support is provided by the construction of the planned project," Ecklond said via email.
The $1 million project is still expected to take longer to complete than previously thought, and the cost to repair the crumbling retaining wall is expected to rise.
Ecklond said that village employees opened the road for the contractor, a portion of the project the village was obligated to perform, but when the contractor ran mandatory tests, he came back to the village and said longer, more expensive piping would be needed to finish the job.
Its important for everyone to know that at that point,we then went out and had another set of tests ran for a second opinion,Ecklond said. Now we are negotiating with the contractor.
Ecklond said it could take a month or more for the contractor and the village to come to an agreement on the changes in the scope of the work. Once that is settled the project can move towards completion.
A section of road on Yonkers Avenue that goes over a narrow portion of the Bronx River is currently supported by a retaining wall estimated to be 100 years old. The project will replace roughly 200 feet of that retaining wall.
Basically, we had fears that the road was going to collapse into the river, Ecklond said.
Ecklond said the village applied for a federal grant for the repairs about three years ago. The federal government put up slightly more than $1 million. Part of the deal included the village putting up $75,000 in cash, and $50,000 in services.
The village tore the asphalt off the road and will repave after the work has been completed.
Construction of the new wall will allow water from heavy rains to go around the bend in the river greatly reducing the flooding we have always experienced in that area, Ecklond said.
Portions of the roadway were under three feet of water after Hurricane Irene
Although the project, slated to be complete by late fall, will be delayed by the changes, Ecklond he does not think the changes will push that time frame forward too much.
I think we can still get this done by late fall, but maybe just a few weeks later, he said.
Are you disappointed that Yonkers Avenue will not be open for traffic afterall ? Let us know below or on Facebook.

How Deep Sleep Support Supplements Can Help with Healthy Weight Loss
Unveiling the Hidden Link: Deep Sleep and Weight Management
For decades, health professionals have touted the importance of proper nutrition and regular exercise for maintaining a healthy weight. However, emerging research is unveiling a new dimension to weight management: the importance of deep sleep. Deep sleep, the most restorative stage of sleep, plays a critical role in numerous physiological processes that can impact weight.
Deep sleep helps regulate hormones related to hunger and appetite, including ghrelin and leptin. Ghrelin, known as the hunger hormone, is produced in the stomach and sends signals to the brain to initiate feelings of hunger. Conversely, leptin, produced in fat cells, sends signals to the brain to suppress hunger and promote feelings of fullness. During periods of sleep deprivation or poor-quality sleep, the balance between these hormones can be disrupted, often leading to increased feelings of hunger and subsequent weight gain.
Moreover, deep sleep is a crucial period for the body's metabolic processes. During this phase, the body restores and repairs tissues, produces growth hormones, and synthesises proteins, all of which are essential for maintaining a healthy metabolism. Lack of deep sleep can thus lead to decreased metabolic function and increased fat storage.
Lastly, chronic sleep deprivation has been linked with increased levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, which can promote weight gain by stimulating appetite and encouraging fat storage, particularly in the abdominal area. Clearly, the relationship between deep sleep and weight management is multifaceted, and understanding this interplay can offer new avenues for maintaining a healthy weight.
The Science Behind Deep Sleep: Your Ally in Weight Loss
The scientific evidence linking deep sleep and weight management is increasingly robust. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition demonstrated that sleep-deprived individuals tend to consume more calories, especially at night, compared to those who get adequate sleep. Another study in the Journal of Pediatrics showed that children who slept less than their peers were more likely to have a higher body mass index (BMI), indicating a higher risk for overweight or obesity.
Furthermore, a research paper published in the International Journal of Obesity found that short sleep duration and poor sleep quality were associated with increased food intake, higher fat mass, and decreased insulin sensitivity – all factors contributing to weight gain.
Emerging research is also highlighting the role of sleep in regulating glucose metabolism. During deep sleep, insulin sensitivity is improved and glucose is efficiently utilised, promoting healthy metabolic function. In contrast, sleep deficiency can lead to impaired glucose tolerance and increased risk of type 2 diabetes, further underlining the importance of deep sleep in weight management.
Deep Sleep Support Supplements: A New Frontier in Healthy Weight Loss
In our fast-paced society, achieving adequate deep sleep can be a challenge. Stress, lifestyle factors, and certain medical conditions can interfere with sleep quality and duration. As a result, many people are turning to deep sleep support supplements as an aid to promote better sleep and support weight management.
Deep sleep supplements typically contain ingredients known to promote relaxation and enhance sleep quality. These can include natural substances like melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles; magnesium, a mineral that promotes muscle relaxation; and herbal extracts such as valerian root and chamomile, known for their calming effects.
Many of these ingredients not only promote sleep but can also support weight management directly or indirectly. For instance, melatonin has been found to influence the production of leptin, helping to regulate appetite. Magnesium plays a crucial role in energy production and glucose metabolism, supporting overall metabolic health.
However, while these supplements can be beneficial, they should not be used as a standalone solution for weight management. Instead, they should be incorporated into a comprehensive approach that includes proper nutrition, regular exercise, and good sleep hygiene.
Understanding the Weight Management Benefits of Optimal Sleep Hygiene
While deep sleep supplements can be a helpful tool, they are most effective when combined with good sleep hygiene practices. Sleep hygiene refers to habits and practices that promote consistent, high-quality sleep. These may include maintaining a regular sleep schedule, creating a sleep-friendly environment, and establishing a calming pre-sleep routine.
Consistency in your sleep schedule, including going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, can help regulate your body's internal clock and promote better sleep. Avoiding caffeine and large meals close to bedtime, keeping your sleep environment cool, dark, and quiet, and engaging in relaxing activities before bed can also enhance your sleep quality.
These practices not only promote better sleep but can also indirectly support weight management. A regular sleep schedule can help regulate hunger hormones and prevent late-night snacking. A sleep-friendly environment can decrease stress levels, potentially reducing cortisol production and its associated weight gain.
The Role of Hormonal Balance in Weight Management: Sleep's Crucial Contribution
Sleep’s contribution to hormonal balance is of utmost importance in weight management. As mentioned earlier, sleep influences several hormones related to appetite and metabolism, including ghrelin, leptin, cortisol, and insulin.
However, the role of sleep in hormone regulation extends beyond these. Sleep also influences growth hormone production, which plays a crucial role in body composition, including muscle mass and fat distribution. This hormone is primarily released during deep sleep, highlighting the importance of this sleep stage for overall hormonal balance.
Furthermore, sleep can influence other hormones involved in weight management indirectly. For instance, inadequate sleep can increase levels of inflammatory markers, which can disrupt normal hormone function and contribute to weight gain.
Sleep Deficiency and Weight Gain: Connecting the Dots
Sleep deficiency, whether in terms of duration or quality, can contribute to weight gain in several ways. As mentioned, sleep deficiency can disrupt the balance of hunger hormones, leading to increased appetite and caloric intake. It can also decrease metabolic efficiency, leading to increased fat storage.
Moreover, sleep deficiency can increase cortisol levels, promoting weight gain through increased appetite and fat storage. In addition, lack of sleep can lead to fatigue and decreased physical activity, further contributing to weight gain.
Lastly, sleep deficiency can also impact cognitive function, leading to impaired decision-making and increased susceptibility to unhealthy food choices. As such, ensuring adequate sleep is an integral part of a comprehensive approach to weight management.
The Power of Deep Sleep Supplements in Enhancing Sleep Quality
Deep sleep supplements can be a powerful tool for enhancing sleep quality. They work by promoting relaxation, extending the duration of the deep sleep phase, and improving overall sleep architecture.
Ingredients like melatonin can help regulate sleep-wake cycles, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. Minerals like magnesium can promote muscle relaxation, contributing to a deeper, more restful sleep. Herbal extracts like valerian root and chamomile can help calm the mind and body, making it easier to transition into sleep.
However, it's important to note that while these supplements can be beneficial, they're not a cure-all solution. They should be used as part of a broader approach to sleep hygiene and weight management, including lifestyle modifications like a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and good sleep habits.
Deep Sleep and Metabolic Processes: A Symbiotic Relationship
Deep sleep and metabolic processes have a symbiotic relationship – each influencing and being influenced by the other. During deep sleep, metabolic processes such as glucose regulation and hormone production are optimised. This not only promotes overall health but can also support weight management by regulating appetite, promoting satiety, and optimising energy use.
Conversely, disruptions in metabolic processes, such as those caused by obesity or unhealthy eating habits, can negatively impact sleep. For instance, individuals with obesity often experience sleep disturbances, including sleep apnoea, which can disrupt the deep sleep phase. Similarly, consuming high-sugar or high-fat foods close to bedtime can cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels, potentially disrupting sleep. As such, maintaining a healthy metabolism through balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, and adequate sleep is crucial for both sleep quality and weight management.
The Healing Power of Deep Sleep: Restorative Processes for Healthy Weight
Deep sleep is often referred to as the body's healing stage. It's during this phase that the body undergoes numerous restorative processes that contribute to overall health and well-being, including muscle repair, tissue growth, immune function enhancement, and memory consolidation.
From a weight management perspective, these processes are crucial. Muscle repair and growth not only promote a healthy metabolism but can also help counteract the muscle loss often associated with weight loss. Improved immune function can help maintain overall health and vitality, supporting regular physical activity and other healthy behaviours. Moreover, memory consolidation during deep sleep can contribute to the formation of healthy habits, including those related to diet and exercise.
Deep sleep also aids in the detoxification process, eliminating waste products from the brain and other areas of the body. This can further promote overall health and facilitate healthy weight management.
Deep Sleep Supplements: A Detailed Review and Guide to Safe Use
While deep sleep supplements can be a valuable tool for promoting better sleep and supporting weight management, it's important to use them safely and effectively.
When selecting a deep sleep supplement, look for products that contain scientifically-backed ingredients known to promote sleep. These may include melatonin, magnesium, L-theanine, and herbal extracts like valerian root and chamomile. It's also crucial to choose a product from a reputable manufacturer that follows good manufacturing practices (GMP) to ensure the product's quality and purity.
Before starting any new supplement, it's recommended to consult with a healthcare professional, especially for individuals with existing medical conditions or those taking other medications. This is because some sleep-promoting supplements can interact with certain medications or have side effects.
Moreover, while these supplements can aid sleep, they should not be relied upon as a long-term solution for sleep disorders or as a standalone weight loss strategy. They are best used as part of a comprehensive approach to weight management that includes proper nutrition, regular physical activity, and good sleep hygiene.

Malaria is potentially fatal tropical disease. The cause of this disease is the bite of mosquitoes infected with Plasmodium falciparum which are usually found in tropical or subtropical areas of the world.
Regions such as North Africa, the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, South East Asia, Oceania and Latin America and the Caribbean are considered to be risky for development of malaria. There are specific guidelines for all of these regions regarding this serious disease. If you plan to visit any of these regions you should discuss preventive options with your doctor.
People may get infected visiting some friends or relatives or just traveling through the countries known to be at risk for malaria. This disease can be prevented and there are several prevention measures, known as ABCD. First of all, everyone should be aware (A) of risk when traveling and (B) avoid mosquito bites. If you intend to travel or live in the malaria region, you should take some preventive drugs known as chemoprofylaxis (C). Additionally, prompt diagnose (D) and early treatments are extremely important when it comes to this disease.
There is another prevention measure, sometimes called E, for emergency (E) treatment with safe drugs. It is mainly used for remote adventure traveling and doctors recommend taking combination of drugs artemesin and lumefantrine.
How to Prevent Malaria in Pregnant Women?
Pregnant women already know they should avoid any unnecessary medications while they are carrying a child. However, visiting a country or areas of high risk for malaria requires certain precaution.
Only supplement recommended by the doctors as safe and beneficial against malaria in pregnancy is folic acid. Doctors advise taking some 400mg (milligrams) of folic acid every day and it should be enough protection for any pregnant woman with no additional medical problems. Folic acid is available in the pharmacies as over the counter drug and it can be combined with Iron tablets if a person suffers from anemia.
Certain areas in South Africa are considered to be high risk (like Lowlands of NE Transvaal and Natal) and all people traveling or visiting this area of the world are advised to take some malaria prevention drugs. Recommended combinations are: chloroquine (Avloclor) and proguanil (Paludrine) or chloroquine (Avloclor) and Maloprim.
Any woman who decides (in consultation with her doctor) to take anti-malarial drugs, should know that Maloprim must be avoided in the first trimester, while chloroquine and proguanil are considered to be safe. The use of these drugs should be followed with increased dose of folic acid and pregnant women should increase their dose to 500mg per day.
Pregnant women should also follow ABCD rules, avoiding being bitten in areas of the world suspected for malaria. They are advised to sleep under nets against mosquitoes and use repellents. At day, pregnant women should wear long sleeves and long trousers.

Israel bid farewell today to its former prime minister Ariel Sharon, one of the most prominent military generals in the country's history and a controversial figure who died after being in coma for eight years.
The farewell ceremony will be followed by a state funeral at his Sycamore Ranch home in south Israel tomorrow.
The casket of Sharon, who died yesterday at the age of 85 despite efforts to stabilise him, will be placed in the Knesset (Israeli parliament) plaza from 12:00 noon until 18:00 today so that the people can pay their last respects.
A Knesset memorial service in honour of the departed leader will be held tomorrow morning at 09:30 am, and at 14:00 pm he will be laid to rest beside his wife Lily at Anemones Hill nearby the Sharon family's northern Negev Sycamore Ranch.
The Knesset's Ceremonies Committee, headed by Minister Limor Livnat, met last night and confirmed the funeral arrangements.
"Following a memorial service in the Knesset Sharon's funeral procession will leave towards the Sycamore Ranch for a small service. The funeral itself will be a state funeral and the ceremony a military one. Six army generals will be his pallbearers," Livnat announced.
Israeli President Shimon Peres, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein, Sharon's two sons Omri and Gilad, US Vice President Joe Biden and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair will be among those expected to speak at the service, she said.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is also likely to attend Sharon's last rites, the Jerusalem Post reported.
Sharon, a hardliner revered by Israelis as "Mr Security" for his contributions in all the major wars fought by Tel Aviv and reviled across the Arab world as the "butcher of Sabra and Shatila", was elected prime minister in 2001 and served until he suffered a stroke that left him comatose in January 2006.
A controversial military leader, Sharon had a long and tumultuous political career and his ruthless methods earned him the moniker "The Bulldozer".
While serving as defence minister in 1982, he masterminded Israel's invasion of Lebanon. During the invasion, Lebanese Christian militiamen allied to Israel massacred hundreds of Palestinians in two Beirut refugee camps - Sabra and Shatila - under Israeli control.
Sharon was the first Israeli Prime Minister to visit India in 2003, eleven years after the two countries established diplomatic ties.

In WSN, usually tens or thousands of sensor nodes are deployed, scattered way in an area with one or more sinks. Moreover, for achieving reliability and load balancing, several multipath routing protocols have been proposed. But the limitation of these protocols is traffic overhead. Thus the occurrence of congestion in this situation is more likely. The situation becomes worse when congestion occurs in multiple paths. In order to achieve the desired rate of heterogeneous traffic by the sink the congestion control over multiple paths is indispensable.

When/how did you first hear about the Stonewall Riots, and what did you make of it?
I really first learned about Stonewall while reading Leslie Feinberg’s novel Stone Butch Blues when I was but a pup—probably 21 years old. This prompted me to learn my LGBTQ history, and I read more and talked to the older generation about it. (It was 1989, so you know, no Googling. Just good old-fashioned asking your elders!)
What is their significance for you?
A deep pride! And at the time I started to really understand what had happened at Stonewall, I was very involved in ACT UP, HIV/AIDS activism, and Queer Visibility activism, so these were my ForeMothers! An inspiration, a demand even, to keep that level of resistance alive.
How far have LGBT people come since 1969?
Perhaps because I’m 50, I have a tendency to say “FAR!” because when I was growing up and coming out, there were no LGBTQ people on TV (well, Billy Crystal in Soap?) and of course so much of the legislation and visibility simply wasn’t there. Or, I should say, it was all seeming like it was on the upswing until November of 2016. Now the basic things we fought for seem in jeopardy. It’s terrifying, actually.
What would you like to see, LGBT-wise, in the next 50 years?
More of us in government, of course, and positions of power in general. I want to see NO MORE SUICIDES from LGBTQ young people. It’s a disgrace.
I dream of a generation of people for whom sexuality and gender expression is whatever a person wants it to be, and no one questions your choices or your imperatives for a hot second. It should be as easy and understood as telling someone your name or where you were born. “Oh, OK.” Stuff no one can take issue with because it just is.

Easy to make with a few pantry staples, entomatadas are similar to enchiladas. They contain similar ingredients; tortillas and a crumbly cheese filling. This recipe allows room for personalization too. Add whichever filling you fancy; cheese, beans or a protein. It's up to you.
Recipe courtesy of Mexican Please
- 6 plum tomatoes
- 1/2 onion
- 1/4 jalapeño
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/2 cup stock
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 Cup queso fresco
- Mexican crema
- Cilantro, for garnish
- Cotija cheese, for garnish
Rinse and de-stem the tomatoes.
Roast them in a 400F oven for 20-25 minutes.
Roughly chop the 1/2 onion and saute in some oil over medium heat.
Add a peeled, whole garlic clove to the pan.
Saute until the onion starts to brown and then add the mixture to a blender.
Add the roasted tomatoes to the blender along with the onion mixture, 1/4 jalapeño and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Combine well and add another sliver of jalapeño for extra heat.
Add a dollop of oil to a saucepan over medium heat.
Add the tomato mixture from the blender and simmer for a few minutes.
If looking to keep the sauce liquidy, add 1/2 cup of stock.
Take a final taste for seasoning.
Add more salt if necessary.
Heat up the corn tortillas in the oven.
You can alternatively give them a flash fry in some oil.
Use tongs to give the tortillas a swim in the tomato sauce.
Add the coated tortillas to a plate and fill with cheese.
Other good options for fillings: refried beans, raw onion, shredded chicken or your protein of choice.
Fold the tortillas and coat them with plenty of the tomato sauce.
You can optionally give them a few minutes in the oven to warm up.
Top them with a sprinkling of Cotija cheese, Mexican Crema and finely chopped cilantro.

From a complicated and too advanced installation - to a simple and reliable solution. The Danish supplier of electricity, NRGI, decided to change their existing AV equipment from Creston to a solution from Neets.
The idea behind was to make it easy for the end user without compromising the underlying technology. And this is what Neets is all about. Simple on the outside while still incorporating complex technology on the inside. Neets products should also be intuitive and fast to get to know for all end users regardless of their different levels of experience with AV equipment in general. Michael Warrer, IT Manager at NRGI, explains that; “by choosing a simple and reliable solution - easy for everybody to use – the objective has been obtained.”
Furthermore, NRGI has not had any problems using the solution or had anything to complain about since they had installed the new AV control systems.
The boardroom was installed with the Neets Control – SieRRa, a Neets NEB Keypad and a Neets Switching Relay - 2. The tables were installed with 2 HDMI input panels and a VGA input panel with sound. The cabinet was installed with 2 HDMI input panel and 1 VGA input panel with sound. The chosen screen was a new Lissau 240x240 with engine, which was set up with front speakers in the ceiling.
NRGI chose a scalar from Kramer and a FHD projector from Panasonic to complete the solution. With Neets Control – SieRRa and the extra Neets KEB keypads makes it simple and easy for the user to control the entire AV-equipment from the Keypad on the wall or the input panels at the table.
Using the free Neets application, this AV-solution is also operable by tablet or smart phone in case NRGI chooses to upgrade.
Another conference room was installed with a Neets Control - EcHo, a FHD projector from Panasonic, a Neets Switching Relay – 2 and a new amplifier for the speaker in the ceiling. For the panel they use a HDMI input panel and in addition a VGA input panel with sound. The Neets Control – EcHo, thereby manage the AV solution in the entire room.
All in all there has been no doubt in the fact that it was a very good decision for NRGI to change their solutions to Neets. In the future they might also apply the use of an app to control the room.

I see what you’re doing, playing devil’s advocate about the lack or removal of morality and ethics in our society. However, the original post never stated that moral relativism is ok or correct. It was all about sexual harassment and it’s presence in and damage to academia. I agree with you that moral relativism is incorrect and we need strong ethics, but changing societal mores doesn’t mean moral relativism, and if *you* think something is morally wrong doesn’t mean it’s absolutely morally wrong or ethically wrong.
I can’t understand how you can equate women’s rights and same-sex activity/marriage with harassment and abuse. Women shouldn’t have a choice in how to live their own lives? Should they only live the way you want them to? And Same-sex relationships? You’ve already stated you think it’s dehumanizing, so you don’t need to further your viewpoint. Human rights should belong to all, not just the *correct* ones. That’s the points of rights: they aren’t handed out but are implicit. It’s not moral relativism to boil everything down to “harm to others”. To live in a pluralistic society that isn’t authoritarian or despotic you have to allow others to live in ways you may not agree with, as long as they don’t cause harm to others. That’s the baseline, the minimum for a functioning society. And with a cross in your avatar I ask you: where is your Christ-commanded love for others when you demean and dehumanize the way you have here?

Tarek & Heather El Moussa’s First Flip Was a Flop
We’ve had a few interesting posts about Tarek El Moussa hosuing flipping over the years. They’re entertaining and, while it is on TV, they do contain some nuggets of reality from time to time. A recent story on Realtor.com talks about how he and his new wife Heather (not Christina) have a new show called “The Flipping El Moussas.” The reporter “cringe-watched” the first season which reveals how things don’t always go as planned with the 2,162-sq-ft., 4-bedroom, 3-bath mid-century modern house in Los Angeles – which they paid $2.15 million for. Interestingly, the final listing (after the rehab) shows it to actually be a three-bedroom home with 1,969-square-feet. Indeed…
“…to their credit, this new show does not sugarcoat things and gives an unflinching look at how this maiden investment unfolds. Along the way, they (and we) learn a lot that will (hopefully) make future flips smoother sailing. Here’s what we learned as we cringe-watched our way through Tarek and Heather Rae’s first flip.

Edinburgh City Whites made it two wins out of two in the Division Three League Cup after putting six goals past Star “A” at Forrester Park.
Michael Murphy was the hero notching a hat-trick and opening the scoring to set City on their way.
The artificial surface at Forrester Park High School proved the perfect advert for winter football on a bright but chilly morning. Murphy had the best of the opening chances with a curled free-kick which was powerful and high but directed straight at James Quinn in the Star net.
The striker was not to be denied however, and soon scored the with the opening goal. He collected a loose ball and ran past two defenders, finding himself one-on-one with Quinn, composing himself and firing a fine slotted finish into the goal.
Star’s best chance came from Shaun Smith, who attempted an audacious volley from just inside the box which was unlucky to sail just wide.
City were to capitalise on poor defending again, when Lee Summers found himself unmarked inside the box, and curved a high finish into the top corner to double Edinburgh’s lead midway through the half.
The home side weren’t stopping there either. Matthew Murray played a perfectly timed through ball for Michael Murphy, who slotted it past Quinn into the bottom left-hand corner of the goal.
It looked like the game was effectively over already, and that conclusion was rubber-stamped just before half-time as City scored a fourth. Murphy collected the ball inside the Star box before firing a hard shot straight at Quinn, which the goalkeeper could only parry backwards into his own net.
After the interval, Star who almost grabbed a goal back through sub Ben Kettrick, who fired a strike from inside the box which went yards wide of Jordan McNaughton’s post.
Yet they were to be punished once again shortly after, when Andrew Hunter connected with a set piece, and guided a delicate finish into Quinn’s top right hand corner, to make it 5-0. Substitute Ewan Robertson then found space just outside the box and executed a fine lob which flew over the head of Quinn and into the net for 6-0.

Agency to monitor nursing home care
Nursing homes are to be subject to inspections by an independent statutory agency as part of an initiative aimed at improving the monitoring of care standards in long-stay institutions for older people.
The Minister for Health, Ms Harney, is planning to extend the brief of the Social Services Inspectorate to include residential services for older people and people with disabilities.
About 26,000 older people are accommodated in nursing homes. However, there are no inspections of the State's 500 public nursing homes and there are insufficient staff to regularly inspect all private homes.
The new inspectorate, which is to be placed on a statutory foot- ing, would inspect both public and private nursing homes. However, no date has been set for this to begin. Any development is unlikely before a working group on care for older people has completed its deliberations.
The group is expected to make recommendations next year on the implementation of care standards in institutional settings and to examine issues connected with the regulation of private nursing homes, including the inspection process.
The move to introduce independent inspections was welcomed last night by the support group Age Action Ireland. However, it cautioned that it was vital to place the inspectorate on a statutory basis. "If you are a statutory inspectorate, then you are fully independent, you are not compromised by providing nursing home care yourself and you are impervious to political manipulation," said Mr Paul Murray, of Age Action Ireland. "Most nursing home care is of a good standard, but there are those which do not meet the proper standards and need to be subject to a rigorous inspection process."
The Irish Nursing Homes Organisation also welcomed the move and said it would help to bring the State's inspection re- gime into line with other European countries. "This is something we wholly support. We support minimum standards and tougher regulations. It is in our interests to have good people op- erating nursing homes," said its chief executive, Mr Pat Costello.
The inspection of nursing homes is covered by the Nursing Home Act (1990), which aimed to improve standards in nursing homes by establishing twice-yearly inspections of privately-run homes and enforcing care standards for the first time.
However, the 1993 regulations attached to this legislation on inspections and standards of care for private hospitals are often ambiguous, undefined and non-specific, according to many social workers and inspection officials.
A Human Rights Commission report earlier this year also called for legislation on basic quality of care in nursing homes, an improved complaints and appeals system and independent inspections. A study commissioned by the Government in 1998 estimated that between 12,000 and 20,000 people in the community could be suffering from abuse, neglect or maltreatment.
Despite such reports, just one nursing home has been de-registered or closed down by health authorities, according to professionals in the elderly care sector.

Salisbury’s White Hart Inn Gets A Makeover
Scott and Roxanne Bok are accidental innkeepers. A decade ago, as they were looking for a new weekend house in Salisbury, CT, they learned that the venerable White Hart Inn was in financial trouble. “I thought I could help them out,” says Scott, a prominent Manhattan investment banker, who grew up in rural Michigan and exudes an earnest midwestern matter-of-factness. “One thing led to another, and we bought it,” The Boks had been spending weekend in northwestern Connecticut since 1989, and they intuitively understood that they’d become caretakers as much as owners of the White Hart, which was built as a humble inn and tavern in 1803. “People had their own ideas of what a grande dame is supposed to be, and we knew that any changes we would make might upset people,” says Roxanne. “For ten years, we just observed and let it be what it was.” Last fall, with business slow because of the economic downturn, the Boks (who are major benefactors of regional arts organizations like TriArts and Shakespeare & Company) decided it was time for a soup-to-nuts renovation and redecoration.
“It was a spur of the moment decision,” allows Scott, who knew he’d hire Matthew Patrick Smyth, a New York designer with a weekend house in nearby Sharon, who had decorated the public rooms and guest suites at their Twin Lakes Farm down the road. The Boks wanted the White Hart to be more luxurious than other mid-range hotels in the area but not as fancy as super-deluxe inns like Blantyre or The Mayflower. To create the graciousness the Boks wanted, Smyth reduced the number of rooms from 26 to 15. The third-floor is now a two-bedroom “penthouse” suite with a kitchen and a sexy stall shower in one of the dormers that overlooks the the flagpole and church steeples. “It’s great for a family or two couples,” says Smyth.
Every room has been individually decorated. “Matthew did not use the same wallpaper twice,” says Roxanne. The Boks encouraged him to shop locally, and all the mattresses came from Riley’s Furniture in Millerton, rugs came from Hammertown Barn, table lamps from Lamplighter in Great Barrington, and the windows from Herrington’s. “Philip Watson of Vintage Lighting in Great Barrington designed the new porch light fixture for us,” says Smyth, who choose a fresh, soothing palette for the bedrooms. “I didn’t want it to be too cool or too warm—I wanted it to feel right in all seasons.”
The Boks have not only changed the White Hart’s look but also its focus. “The inn used to do a lot of weddings and banquets and we have gotten out of that business,” says Scott. “We really wanted to focus on serving the locals every day of the week by expanding the restaurant.” The registration desk has been moved to the back of the front hall, which has become an airy place for cocktails or a meal in front of a woodburning fire (right.) The panelling in the once fallow Hunt Room has been re-stained and hung with plein air landscape paintings by Emily Buchanan of Cornwall. The Tap Room, with its charming Arts & Crafts wallpaper, looks as if nothing has been touched even though Smith had all the woodwork refinished and added new lighting. “We’ve kept it very accessible—there are no white tablecloths,” says Roxanne, noting that meals will now be served on the front porch for the first time. “And wherever you sit, you can order a hamburger.”
That hamburger will be made of grass-fed beef that was raised four miles away at Twin Lakes Farm, which the Boks bought a few years ago and immediately placed under a conservation easement. “We now supply our own beef, eggs, vegetables and soon we’ll have fish,” says Scott. Fish? “We have an aquaponic greenhouse and we are going to raise rainbow trout and striped bass and use the filtered water for the vegetables. There was a New York Times article about this process very recently.” At the end of May, the Boks will set up a farm stand on the White Hart’s lawn (which is also known as the Village Green though most of the land belongs to the inn) to sell their meat and vegetables. As they finished Sunday lunch on the porch last weekend with their nine-year-old daughter, Jane, they marveled at the skills of their new 28-year-old chef, David Miller, who is making nearly everything in-house, including bread and chocolates. “He can go to our greenhouse and farm to ‘shop’ for produce,” says Roxanne. “He’s talking about doing his own butchering, too.”
The Boks have heard grumblings from locals who think the White Hart has become too fancy (though the Sunday bikers in their leathers lunching there on Sunday did not seem to feel out of place.) “We put in more than we took out. I think it looks more like a 19th century inn now than it did before,” says Roxanne, noting improvements like new floors made of antique wood and wainscoting in the hallways. The Boks replaced all the mechanicals and windows and put on a new roof and added insulation where there had been none. Smyth points out that the White Hart had been on a slow, sure path to obsolescence. “I think the Boks saved it for the next 200 years,” he says.

By now most people know that Ruger decided to take a swing at the aftermarket AR trigger market with two new entries called the Elite 451 and Elite 452 triggers. The 451 being a single-stage trigger and the 452 being a two-stage trigger. We will be taking a look at the 452.
What surprised most of us was the price point. MSRP is around $160 with street price is hovering around $110-$125. This is a firmly mid-market price, competing directly with the mid-range offerings of several makers including CMC, Timney, Rock River, and Geissele. Most companies making triggers at this price point either specialize in triggers or have a long record of making very good triggers. Rugger does neither of those things. Rugger makes rugged, reliable firearms. So an argument could be made that this is an ambitious leap into the trigger market for Ruger.
Ambition is a good quality to have, especially when it leads companies to excel. Unfortunately, excellence is nowhere to be found in the 452 unit we received from Ruger.
The retail packaging is one of the coolest and most unique ideas we've seen to date. The trigger comes housed in a polymer chunk of an AR-15 lower receiver, complete with the trigger/hammer assembly and pins, safety selector, and pistol grip. This allows the user to theoretically test the trigger at the store before buying it. All of these parts are removable and could be used on your rifle.
The instructions for disassembling and installing the trigger in your rifle are clear and easy to follow. The polymer housing also teaches the uninitiated about trigger structure by forcing them to uninstall it before attempting to put it in their own rifle. For those already familiar with the process it's just a quick two pins to pop out and on you go.
The hammer spring is incredibly strong. I sincerely doubt you'll ever encounter a light primer strike with this trigger installed. If feels like it could punch firing pins through even the gummiest of firing pin channels and into the hardest of primers.
Testing the trigger in the stock assembly unit yielded mixed results. At its best the trigger performed as advertised with a ~2lb first stage and a ~2.5lb second stage, giving an overall 4.5lb trigger pull about 50% of the time. At its worst my gauage was reading all over the place from 3 pounds to almost 9 pounds. Really? Really. This trigger seems to suffer from inconsistencies unheard of in triggers at this price point. The most glaring of which was intermittently hanging at the end of the second stage. The fact that there is a distinct beginning and end to the second stage says a lot about the smoothness, or lack thereof. When using a slow and deliberate pull on the trigger there are 2-3 noticeable 'chunks' or stages of grit.
Maybe it just needs broken in? Nope. After dry firing the unit 150 times my readings had not changed. Here's a picture of a the gauge after the trigger 'hanging' at the end of the second stage.
This measurement actually showed the trigger breaking earlier than expected
At The range
After my initial disappointment I decided to put the trigger in a rifle and put some rounds down range. I was able to put up some 1 MOA groups using 75gr HPBT ammo at 100 yards, but my single stage trigger (Spike's enhanced mil-spec) does the same. During the course of fire I did not experience as many inconsistencies or hang-ups in the trigger, but the grittiness was still present and very noticeable when trying to shoot groups off of a bag at 100 yards.
After putting 100 rounds down range using the new trigger I packed up and went home. Upon returning home I dry fired the trigger some more. At this point time the trigger was probably approaching 350 pulls and it still felt the same. Sub-par. I took some more measurements with my trigger pull gauge and got the same readings. Half the time it was right at 4.5 pounds but the other half of the time was a crap-shoot between 3 and 9 pounds.
This trigger is not worth the asking price. With the inconsistencies and hang-ups I experienced it isn't worth buying at all. If those are smoothed out the trigger is maybe a competitor at half it's current price point. I'm not sure if I received a lemon or if Ruger is pushing these out the door without enough QC or if it's just a bad design.
The thing that makes a good trigger good isn't the pull weight, it is easy to get a desired pull weight from the array of triggers on the market or by tuning your trigger. What makes a trigger good is consistency and smoothness of pull. The Ruger 452 offers neither of those things.

Sherman’s is our local framing shop. We have been getting art framed there for more than 20 years. As Jake progressed through his art education, we had a number of his early works framed there, through his photographic career, right up to the last picture he created a few months before his death.
I took this photo while we waited for our guy, Andy to help us with that last piece of Jake’s, a beautiful pastel he made while he was in Palm Springs. It is a large work, and we floated it inside a magnificent black Italian wood frame, like in a shadow box. As usual, Sherman’s did a spectacular job matching the texture of the matte inside and perfectly displaying this wonderful picture.
Our most recent trip was to get a portrait of Jake framed. Taken by my Mom’s friend Penny years ago, it is a fabulous picture of Jake with his camera at my Dad’s studio. Look at it closely; it perfectly captures who Jake was, his authentic self. We found a gorgeous hand-made Italian frame and they did a masterful job with the matting and framing. It hangs in our hallway next to Jake’s last pastel.
This is in a little courtyard outside Jake’s apartment in Palm Springs. Not exactly a waiting area per se, I don’t remember seeing anyone waiting here, but we were waiting for Jake to join us. I liked the slight bleakness of the image slightly softened by the wall hanging. Not too much to say other than this was during our last trip to visit him. During our visits we usually took him shopping for groceries, out to lunch and dinner, and on this occasion for the haircut and some new shoes. He always loved new shoes. One of the very first sentences he ever spoke as a baby was “Lucky boy got new shoes at shoe store.” The last words I ever said to him, via text, were Shabbat Shalom.
Jake, Terry, and I want to the L.A. County Museum of Art one fine June day to see the Stanley Kubrick exhibit. We were sitting at one of the cafe tables having coffee waiting for our alloted time when I snapped this photo. The exhibit was fabulous. Memorabilia, equipment, scripts, letters, props, production sketches, stills, and notes from every film he directed, some projects that never came to fruition, and photos from the beginning of his career as a young photographer for Life magazine. We spent an engaging couple of hours exploring the intricacies of his thought process and visual style. I learned about a his early films, read letters he wrote to some self-righteous clergymen about Lolita, saw a wonderful miniature model of the War Room from Dr. Strangelove, special lenses he used, and a wealth of other fascinating exhibits.
I took this photo of Jake through one of the lenses Kubrick used during the filming of 2001: A Space Odyssey, that ended up on Jake’s Facebook page as his profile picture. It is still there as his page has been “memorialized” by FB which means existing friends can still post to it – no new people can be added – and presumably will be up for as long as Facebook exists. His friends post messages to him from time to time and I occasionally put up things I think he would have enjoyed. Somehow it helps keep his spirit alive. For whatever reasons, I haven’t been back to LACMA since that day.

Compilation of five horror stories from _"Tales from the Darkside" (1983)_ that takes the viewer into the dark world of vampires, cursed objects and sinister humor. Despite the title, only the final story is by Stephen King.
A young man, who has a unique psychic talent, is recruited by a mysterious company. In return, he is given everything he wants, a house, a car, everything. His situation seems ideal, ... See full summary »
I remember seeing this as a kid; I was born in 1985, so when I saw this I was like "cool" and it still is for the time it was created in. The concept was quite rare back then, a spirit possessing a doll. Back then horror was done right, with the focus on scaring the audience via emotion instead of over the top CGI. This is a gem, similar to the entity & wish master.

People who have travelled on the Pune-Nashik highway know how the traffic here is super irritating. Well, the ‘elevated corridor’ is proposed to solve traffic congestion. This proposal has taken place under the guidance of the Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari. This ambitious project involves the construction of an eight-lane highway, which will surely ease traffic congestion not only in the present but also in the future.
Pune-Nashik Highway To Get An Elevated Corridor

The construction of an elevated corridor is proposed with the aim to alleviate the traffic congestion on the Pune-Nashik highway. Under the guidance of the National Highways Authority of India, this project will ease traffic congestion and the expected increase in traffic for the next 50 years.
The aim is to make sure that the process is accelerated and completed in the given timeframe so that the issue of traffic is solved as soon as possible.
The National Highways Authority of India delivered a comprehensive presentation on the existing traffic congestion and future planning in the areas along the Pune-Nashik highway.
These areas include areas like Kasarwadi, Moshi, and Bhosari along the highway that passes through the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation.
Officials Have Estimated The Capacity

MLA Mahesh Landge and the BJP city president emphasised on an important topic. They spoke on how solving traffic congestion issues is not only important on the highway. The traffic on the internal roads and metro roads should also be taken care of.
This project will comprise an eight-lane highway from Nashik Phata to Moshi. The existing road will be upgraded to a 4- or 6-lane one, including 2-lane services on either side. With this, an 8-lane elevated flyover that will be supported by a single pillar will also be constructed at Tier 1.
The ‘elevated corridor’ that runs through the Pimpri-Chinchwad municipal boundaries. That it is 29.81 km long from Nashik Phata to Khed was highlighted in the presentation. An eight-lane highway, a double-decker metro line, service roads, and ramps are all included in the plan.
The officials have estimated the capacity of the Pune-Nashik ‘elevated corridor’ to be 397,000 vehicles daily.
