We had five people attending last night including a drop-in visit from Harvinder who is planning on joining us at a future meeting.
With just three pieces of work to discuss, our critiques were a little more detailed than usual and we even managed to finish early (by which I mean ‘on time’) . . .
- Eric presented the 6th chapter from his novel The Autumn Man. Everyone enjoyed the atmosphere and building tension in this piece as the creature is gradually revealed. A couple of people questioned the use of language and whether this was fitting for the young female protagonist. Discussion on the suitability of the practicality of strappy high heels worn without tights. Questions asked about the number of characters and comparisons made with Game of Thrones (no bad thing as far as I’m concerned).
- Pat presented a short story called Life in the Dead Lane. Everyone enjoyed this deliberately tongue-in-cheek crime noir / zombie pastiche. A couple of people suggested that there could be a little less info-dumping, though there was a split in opinion about the use of vernacular in the narrative. There was, however, a resounding call from everyone for a more complete ending–we want more! And a single misspelling of ‘Chuck’ to ‘Chunk’ is enough to invoke the Truffle Shuffle.
- Kate presented the second half of the 7th chapter from her novel Body of Dwaal. Lots of positive feedback on this chapter, with everyone enjoying the dialogue and character interactions as well as the steady pacing of the story. Several people were pleased to see the ‘Body of Dwaal’ reference dropped in at the end of this chapter (further evidence of good pacing). A few questions–discussion points really–raised about whether the nomadic tribe would benefit from further development of their mythology and religion. Also: continued discussions on snake availability and fish leather.
We finished our critiques at 9.30pm and headed around the corner to the pub to continue the discussion on fish leather.
Next meeting: Wednesday 9th May, 7pm start as usual.

Dubai, Oct 13 Mallika Sherawat, Sohail Khan and Urvashi Sharma added glitz and glamour to the red carpet to the world premiere of 'Aazaan' here, along with the film's actors, Sachiin Joshi and Candice Boucher.
The premiere was held at Grand Cineplex here Wednesday night.
Mallika, who covered herself up in an achkan-style suit, said: 'Sachin is a dear friend. He invited me here for the premiere. I am sure the film will do well.'
Urvashi too came in a desi avatar -- flaunting a pink and beige sari.
But all eyes were on Playboy model Candice, who looked elegant in a purple and black gown with a daring back.
'Aazaan' marks the South African beauty's debut in Bollywood. She is excited.
'Bollywood is so colourful. I really had a good time working in this film and look forward to more work in the industry,' said the actress, who plays a sand artist in the film.
The movie, directed by Prashant Chadha, is also the debut Hindi project for Sachiin, who has earlier featured in southern films. He has earlier worked in Telugu movies like 'Mounamelanoyi', 'Ninu Choodaka Nenundalenu' and 'Orey Pandu'.
He has high hopes from the film, which is about a man who goes beyond enemy lines as an informant to save the country from the threat of biological warfare.

Weak ringgit has its strengths
08/09/2022 (The Star Online) - A weaker ringgit is not the main determining factor of export competitiveness and it does not always work in favour of export-oriented industries.
While commodity exporters like Petroliam Nasional Bhd and palm oil produces have benefited financially from the weaker ringgit, the second-quarter results of tech companies revealed that there were other factors that added up to an industry’s or company’s bottom-line performance.
Socio-Economic Research Centre’s (SERC) executive director Lee Heng Guie said a recent survey showed that currency volatility was among the top challenges faced by companies.
“This concern came up in the survey when the ringgit started to weaken recently as the US dollar strengthened,” Lee told StarBiz.
SERC is an independent, non-profit think tank of The Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia.
The ringgit hit a historical low against the US dollar at RM4.50 (or 22 US cents for a ringgit) yesterday on the increasing possibility of a rate hike by the Federal Reserve due to inflationary concerns.
“Actually a weaker ringgit is like a double-edged sword. It may be able to boost competitiveness, wherein our exports that are priced in US dollars will be cheaper in other markets. But this effect will be netted out as other currencies have also declined against the US dollar,” Lee said.
“A weak ringgit adds to the overall cost of production – such as buying intermediate or finished goods. You have to note that prior to the recent weakening of the ringgit, there were increased business costs as well due to the Russia-Ukraine war, commodity prices and implementation of the minimum wage. The weakened currency will add to another layer of cost on companies,” Lee added.
Private investor and former investment banker Ian Yoong said exporters that have a high percentage of imported raw material or foreign labour components may not benefit much from a weak ringgit after some time.
“A weak ringgit will undoubtedly benefit the Malaysian manufacturing sector in the medium term (12 to 24 months) if their products are sold in the US dollar or a currency that has surged in value against the local unit. In the unlikely event exports are transacted in the British pound, which has weakened against the ringgit, these exporters will suffer a financial loss,” Yoong said.
He said it would be better for a country like Malaysia to have exchange rate stability, as a fluctuating exchange rate will “wreak havoc” on the profitability of many exporters and importers.
“A fluctuating exchange rate could lead to substantial foreign-exchange losses if the products are sold a few months ahead. History is a good guide. When the ringgit weakened from RM2.80 to about RM3.80 against the US dollar in a short space of time during the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997, the benefits to exporters lasted about one to two years,” Yoong said.
Hong Leong Investment Bank Research’s (HLIB Research) data on the second-quarter results season showed a majority of companies – or seven out of 10 – in the technology sector were in line with its estimates.
Out of the 10 companies, only two beat HLIB Research’s expectations, while one company reported earnings that were below its estimates.
In the electronic manufacturing services sector, which account for a significant part of exports, no company reported earnings which were above HLIB Research’s estimates, with one that was in line and another two below the research house’s expectations.
Separately, Kenanga Research said in its report on Monday that results for the tech sector in the second quarter were mostly in line with expectations.
“Out of all the companies under our coverage, the overall results remained mostly stable sequentially; with 0%, 78% and 22% coming in above, within and below our forecasts as opposed to 11%, 78% and 11% for the preceding quarter, respectively,” it said.
Notably, currency was not mentioned as a macro factor for the export-oriented tech sector but rather the long-term advantages being Malaysia’s neutral stance in the China-US chip battle and the country’s expertise in the back-end semiconductor process.
CGS-CIMB Research said in a report yesterday the weak ringgit generally benefited selected export-driven businesses, as the weaker unit provided a competitive edge over competitors from other countries.
“We expect a strong pick-up in the volumes of export-driven businesses (those we have identified are mainly in the consumer and industrial sectors) to sustain going forward, coupled with margin expansion from currency gains,” CGS-CIMB Research said.

Doing TWO Assessments
To meet the needs of the whole family, principally the care receiver and the caregivers, GCMs need to begin assessing the caregiver as well as the care receiver. A caregiver assessment is defined by the National Center on Caregiving at the Family Caregiver Alliance as a systematic process of gathering the information that describes the caregiving situation and identifies particular problems, needs, resources, and strengths of a family caregiver. This new measure means that the care manager must see issues from a caregiver’s perspective and culture focuses on what assistance the caregiver may need, examine outcomes the family member wants for support and seeks to maintain the caregiver’s own health and well-being.
Create a Circle of Care
One resource that a GCM can bring to a caregiving family is what Gail Sheehy calls a circle of care. To create this supportive connection, the GCM needs to take her or his coaching skills and put together a support system around the formerly isolated, solitary family caregiver. The GCM can coach the family caregiver to ask for help so the GCM can assist in reorganizing the family so adult siblings can share in the care of the older client with the identified family caregiver. The GCM is what Sheehy calls a compassionate coach who can help the beleaguered caregiver attract and assemble a platform to keep on giving the care she or he wants to give the aging person.
A circle of care includes emotional resources for the direct family caregiver. These emotional resources could and should include adult siblings. Reconnecting midlife brothers and sisters, through the circle of care, is an important GCM task, as siblings are the longest and deepest relationships in any person’s life. The GCM may have to depend on his or her clinical skills in helping siblings with forgiveness or reconnecting siblings who live long distances apart to add them to a circle of care. Midlife siblings have often spent the last 30 years tending to their own families, so the point of reconnection of midlife brothers and sisters often happens when they are in middle age in the midst of a crisis in parent care. This is where the GCM needs to employ clinical skills in midlife sibling work or to find the resources for the family to help with this healing sibling reconnection.

BAJAJ AVENGER PERFORMANCE….
The Avenger has a powerful 220 CC DTSi engine capable of cranking high torque to ensure a good, smooth highway ride. The DTS-i technology employs twin spark plug instead of a single spark plug, which give the Avenger that additional power and torque while also keeping it efficient for the long cruise….
The Avenger has the typical low-slung cruiser seating making it easy to handle and sit on. The dual density foam seats, back rest for pillion and low saddle height make the Avenger truly enjoyable and comfortable for a long ride on the highway.
The Avenger has a broad rear tyre for better grip, disc brake on the front for improved braking and a stable build that will not waver when out on the open roads.
The personality of the Avenger suits the people who ride it… It classic cruiser looks, Low Slung styling, classic fuel tank with fuel gauge build it give the Avenger a distinct identity ad road presence. Swing your leg over the saddle and “Feel Like God”.
There is a keen sense of freedom that reflects each time one straddles a motorcycle. The joy of cruising over inviting open roads is unfathomable. And what better tool than a comfy powerful cruiser motorcycle for laidback rides on the highway? Unfortunately, Indian cruiser lovers have been left wanting as there have traditionally been very few models to choose from. Over the past decade however, the only bike to have firmly held its ground in the cruiser segment is the Bajaj Avenger, which has successfully withstood the test of time. Introduced in January 2001 as the Kawasaki-Bajaj Eliminator powered by a 175cc Kawasaki engine, back then it was one of the most expensive set of 2-wheels on sale in India. How things change though – in its latest avatar, Avenger 220 DTSi is one of the most affordable and powerful Indian motorcycles available in the market today.
The Avenger has seen a host of engine transplants through its tenure. In 2005 Bajaj Auto plonked the indigenously conceived 178cc DTSi motor from the Pulsar 180 DTSi into the Eliminator albeit in a different tune and re-badged it as the Avenger. Two years later, the 198cc DTSi engine from the Pulsar 200 also made its way onto the Avenger. These strategic developments allowed the Pune-based bike-maker to price the new Avenger competitively and bring it into the affordable price-band but without letting the Avenger brand lose its lustre. While demand for the sportier Pulsars and Karizmas sky-rocketed amongst the masses, those looking for a comfortable, stylish and laid-back motorcycle took to the Avenger without any qualms.

We’re frankly tired of waiting for news on the V-series Cadillac ATS duo, so it’s nice to hear we’re going to get our first peek of both the 2016 ATS-V Coupe and Sedan at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Previous rumors had the ATS-V Sedan debuting in Los Angeles with ATS-V Coupe possibly following a few months later in Detroit, so it’s nice to hear the ATS-V twins will debut together in a few weeks.
Here’s what GM Authority feels are going to be the specs for the two cars:
- Engine: GM’s 3.6L twin-turbo V6 LF3 engine should be making more power than it does in the 2014 CTS Vsport, so we expect the motor to be rated in the vicinity of 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque.
- Transmission: Of course, a manual be offered, likely a seven-speed unit sourced from Tremec (TR6070), while the automatic will likely be GM’s new 8-speed 8L90.
- Suspension: Expect an even more capable version of GM’s Magnetic Ride Control suspension technology, a wider track, and other chassis improvements.
- Exterior: The ATS-V will likely feature a number of improvements to enhance aerodynamics, which will make it more adept at slipping through the air at high speeds while cooling its engine, transmission, and brakes.
The 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show begins November 21 and lasts through the end of the month, but you’ll likely get the straight news on the ATS-Vs on November 18.

Being pulled towards being a shaman, or "shamanism"
I felt the same way a few years ago. I actually began training in shamanism because 1) I was pulled toward it and 2) I thought it would be the answer to learning how to master my empathy. Turns out it actually did teach me how to learn how to master empathy, just not in the way I was expecting. I was expecting to suddenly have insight and just Know everything about being an empath, but what wound up happening is that I had to go through a ton of trials that helped me become an empowered person which led to me becoming an empowered empath.
If you are considering shamanism, I highly recommend diving in. It can be a challenging road but you will grow in ways you never imagined. I have been training through Shamanism 101 which has been amazing. It's affordable and you get a mentor to guide you (I promise I'm not trying to make a sales pitch, it has just been amazingly beneficial for me). Best of luck!

The departments of energy and agriculture of the US government have announced funding for renewable energy technology and projects.
The US Department of Energy (USDOE) has announced funding of $7.4 million for technology development to four marine and hydrokinetic systems companies.
the US department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced $63 million in loans and grants for 264 renewable energy and energy efficiency projects around the nation.
Seenews.renewables.com reports that DOE is to fund the four companies to work on projects that will address technical challenges in advanced controls, crosscutting power take-off (PTO) and innovative structures.
Sacramento-based Re Vision Consulting will work on advance control in collaboration with Ocean Energy USA, Resolute Marine Energy, CalWave, Dresser-Rand, Navigant Consulting, and University of Michigan.
The system to be developed is expected to help predict ocean conditions and adjust device settings to optimize power production. It will be designed to work with three types of wave energy converter (WEC) devices: the OE buoy developed by Ocean Energy USA, the Surge WEC device developed by Resolute Marine Energy, and the Wave Carpet developed at CalWave.
Virginia Tech will work on PTO in collaboration with Resolute Marine Energy, Energy Harvesting Technology, THK America, and National Renewable Energy Laboratory. The team will is expected to develop a mechanical solution to convert from alternating current to direct current power.
The technology should be able to transform the back-and-forth movement caused by waves into a single-directional movement to more efficiently capture wave energy, the report says.
Dehlsen Associates, in Santa Barbara, California, will work on developing a linear generator capable of supplying a WEC device with power to implement advanced controls.
The company is collaborating with Helios Engineering, Wedge Global, Oregon State University, Time-Variable Systems, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory on the project.
By actively controlling the timing between the force and velocity on the WEC device, the team will be able to improve efficiency of the device.
And Pennsylvania State University is working on innovative structures for harvesting tidal energy in collaboration with Verdant Power.
The team will develop low-cost, single-piece, three-blade composite turbines with integrated “health management” technology.
The health management system would apply diagnostic and predictive technology to evaluate the health of mechanical and electrical systems during operation. It would also give alerts on component or system faults ahead of failure.
In the other development, the USDA is funding clean energy projects under the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP).
The projects are expected to generate and/or save 207.8 million kilowatt hours (KWh) of energy, which should be adequate to power more than 13,600 homes annually.
According to a report, the REAP funds can be used to make energy efficiency improvements or install renewable energy systems, including solar, wind, renewable biomass (including anaerobic digesters), small hydroelectric, ocean energy, hydrogen and geothermal.
The USDA has set application deadline for REAP grants is November 2.

If Democrats don’t provide funding for a border wall, 79% of voters nationwide believe it’s at least somewhat likely that President Trump will declare an emergency and use existing funds to build the wall. A ScottRasmussen.com survey found that just 21% believe it’s unlikely to happen.
Those figures include 32% who say it’s Very Likely the president will declare an emergency to build the wall and 5% who say it’s not at all likely.
While voters overwhelmingly expect that to happen, just 41% believe the president should declare such an emergency. That includes 77% of Republicans, 16% of Democrats, and 35% of Independent voters (see crosstab results).
The survey, conducted mostly following the president’s State of the Union Address, showed little change on other matters. Just 38% believe it is likely a new agreement will be reached in time to avoid another shutdown. That’s unchanged from a week ago.
And, 59% believe the top priority should be doing whatever it takes to avoid another shutdown. Most Republicans, however, still think funding for border security is more important.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most famous structures in the world – not because of its gently rising series of arches, but because of its legendary tilt.
Constructed as the bell tower to accompany the cathedral, the tower began to shift on its foundations in 1178, before the architect, Bonanno Pisano, had completed the first three tiers.
Fortunately, the lean has now been halted, due to tricks with cables and counter-subsidence. The tower now leans on an angle of 4.1 meters (13 feet), rather than the previous 5 meters (16 feet).
It’s well worth paying the extra to climb the spiral stairs leading to the top of the Leaning Tower for views across Pisa. Make sure you book ahead as reservations are compulsory and numbers are limited.
Pisa’s marvelously striped marble cathedral is a textbook example of Pisan Romanesque architecture, dating back to 1064.
Roughly cross-shaped, the duomo features a galleried exterior topped with a small dome and completed with a rounded apse.
Inside, the building’s five naves create a sea of pillars rising to a golden coffered ceiling.
Much medieval detail was lost during a disastrous fire in 1595, but the mosaic by Cimabue surrounding the altar survived intact. Another highlight is the ornately carved pulpit by Giovanni Pisano.
Some of the finest gems of Western architecture are clustered on Pisa’s Piazza dei Miracoli, known locally as Piazza del Duomo.
Your first sight of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Duomo and the Baptistery is literally breathtaking, their white marble shining in the sunshine on a bed of emerald green lawn against a summer’s blue sky.
Apart from the glorious architecture – white, red and green marble, Romanesque curves, Tuscan arches and Gothic points – it’s the almost surreal spatial quality of the buildings that creates a sensation.
Come here during the day to see the buildings’ white marble shine in the sunlight, and return again at night when visitors are fewer and the buildings are beautifully floodlit.
The wedding cake white marble of the Pisa Baptistery, or Battistero, is one of the stunning collection of buildings on the Piazza dei Miracoli.
The Leaning Tower may be more famous, but the Baptistery captivates visitors with its ornate round shape and mix of architectural styles.
Rounded Romanesque arches make up the ground level, while pointed Gothic shapes take over on the remaining arches and the building’s cupcake dome.
Inside, there’s a beautifully carved pulpit by Nicola Pisano and a huge ornate marble font, used for total-immersion baptisms.
While you’re here, climb the stairs to the gallery for a bird’s-eye view, and discover the building’s remarkable acoustics by whispering sweet nothings beneath the dome.
In Roman and medieval days, the Knights’ Square was Pisa’s central city square, a place for meetings and discussion.
The piazza was lavishly remodeled by the famous architect Vasari in the 16th century, creating a landmark example of spacious Renaissance town planning.
The grand space is gracefully lined with palatial palazzos and the church of the Knights of Santo Stefano dei Cavalieri. The church was also designed by Vasari, and named for the religious and military order founded by Cosimo de’ Medici.
A statue of Cosimo stands in front of the Palazzo dei Cavalieri, which features detailed monochromatic etchings on its facade known as sgraffiti, also contributed by Vasari.
Camposanto Cemetery is a monumental complex of buildings on Piazza dei Miracoli.
Constructed in a cloister design with wings sprouting from a central dome, the massive complex was built on hallowed earth brought to Pisa from Calvary in the Holy Land, during the Fourth Crusade.
According to legend, this soil is reputed to reduce bodies to skeletons within a day of burial.
The cemetery is also famous for its precious frescoes. Most of the artworks were destroyed during WWII, but those that remain are displayed in the Fresco Room. The most famous are the Triumph of Death and Last Judgment.
You’ll also see Roman sarcophagi, reused during the Middle Ages as the final resting place of prominent Pisans.
The exquisite church of Santa Maria della Spina is one of the prettiest fairy-tale churches in the world.
Designed in classic Pisan Gothic style, the tiny striped marble church was built to house a thorn from the Crown of Thorns.
The building dates back to 1230, with Gothic enlargements in the 1350s. Originally, the building sat much closer to the river, and it was moved to its present site on the riverside walkway in 1871.
The interior is less ornate than the fanciful exterior, with many statues and details being lost during the relocation. However, a magnificent Madonna and Child remains, sculpted by Andrea and Nino Pisano in the mid-14th century.

October 10: The government has been announcing concessional loans to start-up businesses for almost a decade but is still struggling with the procedure.
Inspired by neighboring India, the government had announced to provide concessional loans under the innovative work by selecting entrepreneurs to create high-quality inventions and to develop systems using less time, cost, and resources through new technology. However, those seeking to do so have not yet been able to obtain loan.
The program has not been implemented due to a lack of clear definition of start-up business, lack of timely formulation of work procedure, lack of coordination among government agencies for the formulation of work procedure and program operation, as well as confusion over grant and subsidized loans for start-ups in the government’s budget programme.
It has been two years since the government received around 700 applications for the grant announced to encourage startups. The government then changed the programme of providing grant to subsidized loans instead. However, those trying to start a business have not been able to get cash incentives from the government.
Meghraj Magar, a resident of Koteshwor in Kathmandu, originally from Rukum West, says that he has not yet received the grant even though he has applied for it based on an advertisement that says the government will provide grant to innovative start-ups.
He returned to Nepal after working in South Korea for five years and intends to modernize the agriculture of Nepal using Korean technology and knowledge he acquired during his overseas stay He, however says, he could not acquire loan from the and is not able to initiate the start-up alone as he does not have money to start the project.
Hundreds of young people like Magar have not been able to move their startup plans forward as the government is often confused about whether to give concessional loans or grant to startups.
The government had introduced the programme to provide grants to startup business in Nepal from FY 2076/77.
Accordingly, the National Planning Commission had also collected applications by formulating work procedures related to grants. According to the Commission, 699 people had applied for grants under the programme.
Similarly, the previous government had introduced a programme to provide startup loans at a 2 percent interest rate in the fiscal year 2077/78, but it could not be implemented. In the current Fiscal Year, the present government has allocated Rs 1 billion for startups through the Replacement Bill.
Government officials, who have been confused regarding the work procedure for nearly a decade, held a discussion on Friday to resolve the problem. During the discussion held at the Ministry of Finance on Friday (October 8) regarding the formulation of startup loan procedures, stakeholders reached a conclusion that ambiguous work procedure itself was a hurdle to promote start-ups.
Participants of the meeting realized the need to formulate a simple and quick procedure to facilitate start-up businesses.
During the discussion, Finance Minister Janardan Sharma directed the concerned bodies to formulate work procedure so that even the youths of remote areas could easily get start-up business loans.
"Let's not create a cumbersome procedure where young people who want to start a new business get frustrated just by looking at the paper. Let's implement the program by making a concise and simple procedure," Minister Sharma urged during the meeting.
Member of National Planning Commission Dr Ram Kumar Phuyal said that since start-up business is a new program for Nepal, simple procedures should be made by paying attention to its principles and international practices. Member Secretary of the National Planning Commission, Kewal Prasad Bhandari, stressed the need to formulate a simple procedure to make start-up loans easily available to enthusiastic youths with new concepts. Finance Secretary Madhu Kumar Marasini and Revenue Secretary Krishna Hari Pushkar said that procedures should be formulated targeting new entrepreneurs.

Recently, TechCrunch reported that the casual game publisher PopCap Games, the company behind such hits as Plants vs Zombies and Bejeweled, is in the process of being acquired, and the multiple sources pointed out that the price is over $1 billion. Initially social game giant Zynga was the potential buyer, as well as an unnamed Asian game company, and traditional megapublisher Electronic Arts. Now, TechCrunch has narrowed the list of suspects to one, EA.
Without a doubt, the acquisition is definitly worth it for EA, whose users are mostly die hard gamers, now it needs to move into the casual game space, since the high popularity of smartphone bring this type of game out of the ground, no one can ignore the big success of Angry Birds and Plants vs. Zombies. PopCap’s flagship title Bejeweled has sold more than 50 million units across all major platforms. PopCap games are available for Web, PC and Mac, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSi, Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Zeebo, Cell Phones, PDAs, iPod Classic, iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad as well as other mobile devices and in June 2010, it was announced that they would be producing games for the Android operating system. According to TechCrunch’s source, Popcap’s revenues are in the range of $100-150 million, and a price of over $1 billion would have put the deal at a possible 10x multiple.
EA has some golden properties, like The Sims, that appeal to the more casual gaming market, but for the most part, the video game giant has its guns on the home console deck. However, the addition of PopCap properties such as Bejeweled and Plants vs. Zombies would boost EA’s arsenal on the mobile front. In the world of iOS gaming, the better games are generally made by smaller, independent companies like Rovio, Lima Sky and for now, PopCap. Just think about the best games the App Store has to offer: Angry Birds, Doodle Jump and Plants vs. Zombies are among them. PopCap could be seen as the key to mobile gaming industry for EA. Acquiring PopCap would mean a substantial upgrade for EA’s casual gaming portfolio. The PopCap games could also benefit from EA’s reputation and promotional muscle. PopCap has a popular lineup of games, some of which could be spread over even more platforms, and the most importantly, people like PopCap. It’s obvious from its own statements EA is working on changing its focus and wants to do more casual and social games. An acquisition of PopCap would be a great way to do this without a lot of effort.
EA could choose to integrate development teams or let PopCap continue as its own brand with a separate management team, and obviously the latter will be a better choice, EA could let them do their own thing for the most part. This acquisition would give EA a better foothold in iOS. It’s not without precedent, however, that EA could buy PopCap and then leave it mostly alone while also pushing for more of the traditional Electronic Arts stylistic motifs. BioWare, another EA purchase, has seen a tremendous rise in the sheer amount of downloadable content made available since their migration to underneath the EA umbrella. Item packs, character costumes and, in general, stuff that many people might consider being close to microtransactions. With a PopCap acquisition, EA would be doing more than buying a game company, it would be buying its way into the mobile market.
In addition, the acquisition aslo means something for PopCap, of all the publishers with their own gravitational pulls, EA’s the best about allowing developers to take creative risks. PopCap’s trademark charm, then, probably won’t get too much of a white-washing. More troubling, however, is the way PopCap’s development process clashes with EA’s. PopCap’s proven to be incredibly methodical, giving each individual game and platform its full, undivided attention. PopCap has previously discussed filing for an IPO, and has said that could come as soon as November. They’ve maintained their goal isn’t cashing in, but building something long lasting that will have as much impact as games like Monopoly or Scrabble.
While the rest of the economy is still turbulent, mobile gaming is chugging on at a lucrative rate. There is still a lot of cash in the coffers of mobile gaming, and the smartphone market continues to expand. Even if EA is overpaying for PopCap, it’s still worth it. Firstly, there will be a return on investment in 12 to 18 months, and secondly, they don’t want competitors to get it. The acquisition could deliver in both the immediate future and the long run, the buyout is part of a tactical short-term strategy as well as a long-term strategy, just like putting your stake in the ground. Better to overpay now than pass up a prospect and regret it over time. It’s clear clear that EA has been moving in this direction for many years now and acquiring PopCap would be a brilliant move to top it all off. Adding PopCap’s expertise and library of games to their own not only makes sense for EA, but for PopCap as well.

Have you wondered about the natural beauty and draw of Harkers Island?
Here, we share with you what drew the owners of our Island property to the area, located just over the bridge, on the water where the North River and Brooks Creek unite. Where sunsets paint the sky with glorious colors you have to see to believe and where coastal life is just a little bit slower so you can enjoy all that nature has to offer.
"The "Island" is a small slice of Heaven on Earth with one 2 lane road on and off, including a drawbridge, soon to be changed to a slightly higher bridge without the drawbridge. We built a custom home in 2002 and while storms with names have come and gone over the years, we knew from our family having owned an oceanfront cottage at Nags Head, Kill Devil Hills actually, that no matter what Mother Nature sends our way, it is extremely difficult to have wind-driven tides overtake and island. My wife and I looked from coastal Georgia all the way to Virginia's Chesapeake Bay and we landed on Harkers Island which is protected from the weather on all sides and just minutes, by boat, from both Bardens and Beaufort Inlets and the Cape Lookout National Seashore with miles of wonderful beaches and stunning views from a famous lighthouse.
With no stoplights, except when the aforementioned drawbridge is up letting local shrimp boats traverse the waters of Core Sound, Back Sound and North River, 3 small but amazingly good restaurants, two gas stations, a world-famous museum, The Core Sound Waterfowl & Heritage Museum, which brings folks from all over the first week in December to enjoy The Decoy Festival celebrating the heritage of hunting waterfowl with old guns and wooden decoys as well as the history of living so connected to the saltwater, marsh grass and coastal creeks.
There is no better location to hunt, fish, bird watch, swim or launch a kayak from the backyard and paddle with the dolphins, getting so close you can hear ‘em breathe. There is no better feeling knowing that if you want to take your boat out for an day outing or a quick evening sunset tour, you just have to go right around the corner to the private neighborhood boat ramp – or a quick walk to the first boat slip with a lift. No more having to wrestle with the congestion that plagues surrounding area public boat ramps. All you have to do to reach out and become closer to nature is to be here on the back porch to watch the sun sink slowly beneath the Atlantic Ocean over Beaufort Inlet.
With all things connected to the island revolving around saltwater, our daughter, her friends, and our life long buddies always feel better when they cross the North River bridge heading east. Been told by old friends that their blood pressure drops as they close in on Harkers Island, and I do believe that mine does too. To be so close to Beaufort, Morehead City and all the beach towns from Atlantic Beach to Emerald Isle filled with 5 star restaurants, shopping, along with all the "nightlife" and call having to wait for 4 cars to pass by before you can pull away from a stop sign a traffic jam is a miracle not unlike comparing a saltwater Mayberry to Raleigh or Charlotte.
If you want the hustle and bustle, the "island" may not be your cup of tea, but if you prefer to take your morning cup of coffee watching the tide rise or fall being entertained by herons, ibis, loons calling and waterfowl visiting all throughout the cooler months, you have found a place I feel may be as close to Paradise as the Old North State has to offer."

How Movies Can Inspire You to Stay True to Your
By Maria Grace, Ph.D.
There is no accomplishment that has not been tested by life.
Success is never a pain-free process. If you have a dream and
want to see it come through, you must be ready to show faith in
it, during the darkest, most difficult moments. How many of you
reached a point when you said “Enough! I give up!” I
I am one among you. But, the truth is that, if you persevere,
if you go past the “I give up” phase, if you affirm
in your dream, then the Invisible Examiner will see that you are
serious about your purpose and will grant you success. Remember,
the only way to pass the Examiner’s test is to show faith
Here’s how you do it:
Faith Is Like Love: You Must Prove It with Actions
When you love someone with all your heart, you accept that person
as who he or she is, including their imperfections and shortcomings.
You don’t say “I love you for this, but I hate you
right? And, when the person you love needs your help you do give
it, unconditionally. The same happens with faith. When you have
faith in your dream, you do so despite the challenges your dream
will bring in your path. It’s your dream and it depends only
your actions to fulfill it. So, when the path to fulfillment gets
rough, you don’t give up. You show faith, much as you show
for someone when they are going through a hard time that makes
that person difficult to deal with.
An example of unshakable faith is J. K. Rowling, the author of“
Harry Potter”. She wrote most of her first “Harry Potter” book
in coffee shops, because they were heated and she could not afford
to pay for heat in her apartment. A single mother without childcare,
she carried her baby daughter in a stroller that she kept by her
side while writing away Harry Potter’s story, moved by an
need to continue on until her book was finished. When she submitted
her book, it was at first rejected by a number of publishers.
She never gave up. Showing faith in her dream through actions,
she persevered. She knew all along that writing Harry Potter was
her only option, even though she had no way of proving that it
would ever become such a tremendous, tremendous success. Her faith
in her dream was so strong that lit her path even when it seemed
completely dark and hopeless to others. She passed all the tests
of her Invisible Examiner with flying colors, until she proved
that her faith was stronger than her challenges.
How to Pass the Test of Faith in Your Dream
You too can you show unshakable faith in your dream! Here are
some tips to follow when the Examiner tests you and wants to see
that you mean business:
- Meditate. Use silence to connect with your inner core, your
creative source, and draw strength and inspiration to pursue
- Stay connected with your dream. Write it as a statement
and read it again and again. Or create a collage or a drawing
dream, and keep it in a visible place, so you can see it frequently.
It’s amazing how much this simple activity can re-energize
- Talk with your inner mentor, or reach out
to your physical mentor. In Reel Fulfillment: A 12-Step Plan for Transforming
Your Life through Movies, I walk you through the steps of doing
- Talk to an ally. This can be a friend, a coach, your
minister, someone you trust and who cares about you.
- Keep checking your results. Keep a log of your progress,
to remind yourself how far you have come since you began pursuing
- Ask yourself: “Would I want to go back to where I was
I started pursuing my heart’s desire?” Answer honestly,
through your mind all the aspects of your former life. As long
as your answer is, “No way!” you’re on the
- Watch a film with your favorite character who also inspires
you. Afterwards, have an imaginary dialogue with him or her.
In Reel Fulfillment I show you how to do that.
- Do one thing that brings your closer to your
dream when your faith is challenged. This is how you show your
that you are not shunned by tests. For example, if you want
to be a famous author but your manuscript just got rejected,
a short article and publish it in a local newspaper, or on
the Internet. You will feel better and continue to look for
who will accept your manuscript.
How Movies Can Help You Stay True to Your Dreams
As your faith in your dreams is challenged, tested
and questioned, movies can be great allies to keep you on track.
This is what
you can do: from the following list, pick one or more movies and
watch them alone or with friends.
- Field of Dreams
- October Sky
- Billy Elliot
- Working Girl
- Real Women Have Curves
Questions to answer:
- What is the main character’s dream and
what challenges he/she
- Through what concrete actions does the main character
show faith in his/her dream?
- How does the universe help the main character after he/she
passes the test of Faith?
- How does the character inspire you to strengthen faith
in your dream?
- Now that you watched this movie, what will you
do differently to stay true to your dream? •

McDonald's to open near Honolulu airport on former Byron's Drive-In site
The world’s largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants has already pulled a building permit for the site at 3299 N. Nimitz Highway and secured a ground lease from the landowner, an affiliate of Honolulu-based K.J.L. Associates, which is headed up by Hawaii National Bank Chairman and CEO Warren Luke.
Representatives of K.J.L. Associates’ Loyalty Enterprises Ltd. did not immediately respond to a message left by PBN.
The ground lease for the new McDonald’s (NYSE: MCD) restaurant, to be built at the corner of Nimitz Highway and Paiea Street, is about $8 million with the building permit valued at almost $1 million, according to public records.
"McDonald's is working on plans for a possible new restaurant at the former Chevron and Byron's Drive-In site, however details have not yet been finalized," a McDonald's of Hawaii spokesperson told PBN via email. "McDonald's looks forward to sharing more information as it becomes available."
Byron’s Drive-In, a longtime favorite of both locals and tourists, closed down last year after nearly five decades in business.

Título: Malta Remembered: Then And Now: A Love Story
Año de publicación: 2009
Condición del libro: Very Good
I have a story to tell about living a life cart before the horse. An impulsive but opportune decision to live in England for a year became a turning point that was to forever change our lives, and a love story that moves from comfort, advantages, and travel, to life on a roller coaster. Experiencing anguish, narrow escapes, financial disaster and near-death experiences, we rose from despair to a lucky break, enabling us to pick up the pieces and begin again. I am aware that it reveals an intimate part of our lives to those who are unknown to my family and me. Yet, because it's an inspiring and "out of the ordinary" journey I invite the reader to join me. This American tribute to Malta had to be written because of the island's indelible mark on all of us.About the Author:
Margaret Dexter has been writing since childhood, distributing her first handwritten, illustrated newsletter to neighbors in Indianapolis, Indiana. She lives in Connecticut, where she is a freelance writer and photographer, and is currently compiling a volume of short stories and essays.

Today I learned that wine is the perfect way to start and finish, anything.
It is currently midnight on the Friday eve of Canadian Thanksgiving and my wet bangs are sticking to the sides of my forehead while slowly dripping onto my charcoal jeans. I grab a long tuft of blond hair and flick it around my left ear. I remove the cork which sits nestled into a freshly opened bottle of Shiraz and wait as several gluggs splash into a Riedel stemless crystal glass. I close my eyes and pretend the illumination from my screen is actually the warmth we find in the mid afternoon summer sun. I cup my glass in both hands and roll the crystal back and forth to slowly warm the elixir within. I raise the crimson liquid to my lips, wallow a few moments in my mouth and then slowly slide my tongue to the roof. My veins fill with vino, my arms roll back and shoulders relax.
Fast forward to 6:30pm. I am standing on the second floor of the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, staring out at the hustle and bustle of University Avenue waiting for my guest of honour Sarah Topa to arrive with a glass of cold vino blanco. We clink glasses and sip. Wine is the perfect way to ready the mind, body and spirit for the Opera.
Sarah is one of my best friends who I met in high school way back when. We are kindred spirits and I was elated this summer when I found out that she would be moving from London UK to Toronto in the Fall. We have been two friends separated by an ocean and our busy lives but connected through our colourful history and the help of social media.
This would be Sarah’s second Opera. She confessed to me her first experience was rather sour: a German Opera which she watched during her visit to Budapest void of English surtitles. She was ecstatic to read and follow along with the story this time around.
We finished the very last drop in our glass and found our seat just before the lights dimmed and the crowd grew silent. Il Trovatore is the first of the COC’s season, so I sat back and relaxed with anticipation as the orchestra lurched to life and the stage filled with light.
Giuseppe Verdi’s Il Trovatore has captivated audiences since its premiere in 1853 with its explosive, melodramatic tale of a vengeful gypsy Azucena, her son Manrico’s romance with the noblewoman Leonora, and his rivalry with Conte di Luna. Il Trovatore had all of the “roll your eyes” romanticism one looks for complimented by incredible vocal talent. The sets, costumes and colour palate were far more subdued than the typical pomp and panache. This story of gypsy love was set across simple charcoal and grey scenes which were often dramatically enhanced through streams of light, silhouettes and shadows.
This week has left me exhausted and vacant. I found myself quickly lost in the melancholy grey of the story and its characters. South African soprano Elza van den Heever played the part of lovelorn Leonora a voice with such power it really stole the show. Each time Leonora wailed and winced on stage I found myself clenching my teeth and clutching my fists. My body was reacting physically to her pain and plight. I’ve recently felt a self induced burden on my shoulders much of which I attribute to my grief and loss of the warm summer months. It’s that Autumnal melancholy which I can see has already started to furrow the brows of Toronto’s most sincere happy go lucky personalities.
After the show Sarah and I walked across University Avenue in search for my bike. A quick hug and she was off on the subway and I stood on the corner of the street as the pitter patter of rain played on my shoulders. I stared down at the wet pavement which had turned into a midnight mirror. I could see the bright reflection of the Four Seasons Centre and watched as a colourful blur of well dressed theatre goers filled the street below my feet.
On the peddle home I embraced the silence of the city. My hair quickly became wet as a raced through rain clouds. I couldn’t help but smile when I realized the entire city was charcoal grey. It is as if I had just flown off the stage and arrived into the real world with a colour palette permanence…where damp rain and dimly lit streets set the scene and the chime of my bicycle bell was the only thing reminding me that I was a living, breathing boy ready to tackle the world.

Q-Over the years, I`ve collected cast- and forged-iron pieces, including old tools and implements. I have no idea what they are or what they were used for. How can I identify them? Several antiques dealers I showed some of the pieces to can only guess how they were originally used. Can you direct me to any sources of help?
A-Many collectors, antiques dealers and even some curators often have difficulty identifying mysterious items from the past. Occasionally a patent date or number is found stamped or incised on an object, and the piece can then be researched and identified. More often than not, such old oddities remain a mystery. A new book that contains illustrations, identifications, measurements and detailed descriptions of old, odd iron implements, utensils, hooks, hangers, tools of every type and everything else from cranes to chains is ''Hooks, Rings and Other Things-An Illustrated Index of New England Iron, 1660-1860,'' by Frank T. Barnes, available with a separate price list of estimated values for $44 postpaid from Christopher Publishing House, Commerce Green, 24 Rockland St., Hanover, Mass. 02339 (phone 617-826-7474). The author/ artist spent more than 40 years collecting, researching and identifying antique iron tools, implements and devices, and his book is fast becoming a bible for collectors, historians and researchers.

According to Maloney, bus drivers` caps can be dated by their emblems, which were different each year. Maloney will consider Greyhound caps from any years as well as Greyhound advertising pieces and anything with the company`s famous trademark, which wasn`t adopted until 1930. You may also get information from the firm`s headquarters, Greyhound Tower, Phoenix, Ariz. 85077 (phone 602-248-4000).
Q-I am interested in lighthouse-related items and lighthouse information, as well as any shops or sources that sell lighthouse prints, pictures, novelties, needlepoint, canvases and miniature lighthouses. Can you help me?
A-''Lighthouses of the Pacific'' has photos of old and intriguing lighthouses and their locations and histories. The book, by Jim A. Gibbs, is available for $31.95 postpaid from Schiffer Publishing Ltd., 1469 Morstein Rd., West Chester, Pa. 19380. It will help identify some lighthouses in prints and paintings or on postcards as well as provide insights into their fascinating backgrounds.

Ditch all the added sugar by making your own homemade sugar free strawberry jam! This simple recipe makes incredibly fruity jam that is suitable for low carb and Keto diets. No pectin!
Did you know that traditional jam recipes use sugar and fruit on a 1:1 basis? I have always wondered why this is necessary. Ripe fruit contain so much natural sweetness in form of fructose!
The sugar is supposed to help with the gelling of the fruit, making the jam nice and thick. It also acts as a preservative. Oh, and it's a really cheap ingredient, adding to the profit of jam companies.
I've been making sugar free jam ever since I started eating low carb. Guys, it's so simple. All you need is quality fruit, which you simmer gently until enough liquid has evaporated.
Then you add a bit of extra sweetness such as erythritol, stevia or Swerve (if necessary) and a little bit of thickener such as chia seeds, gelatin or xanthan gum (if necessary). That's it!
How to make sugar free strawberry jam - step by step:
Chop your strawberries and place them in a saucepan. Add 2 tablespoon of water (3 if your saucepan is large). This is so the strawberries don't burn whilst you soften them.
Bring to the boil, lid on, then turn the heat to medium and let it bubble away for around 15 minutes. Now your strawberries look like in the image above. They are soft and have begun to release their own liquid. Mash with a potato masher.
Continue simmering the strawberry puree over a low heat for another 30 minutes until the mixture is reduced by half. As the liquid evaporates, the bubbles become smaller.
Stir continuously towards the end using a spatula, making sure the jam does not burn. Once the mixture has the texture of jam, you're done!
Taste the jam. If the strawberries do not contain enough natural sweetness, add up to 1 tablespoon of powdered erythritol or another sweetener of your choice. Instead of pectin, use 1 teaspoon of ground chia seeds to fully set the jam.
Fill into a sterilised container and store in the fridge.
This strawberry jam recipe only contains 1.4 grams of fruit sugar per serving (1 tablespoon), which won't spike your insulin levels like regular jam. To keep your blood sugar levels stable do make sure you eat it as part of a meal.
This recipe made 200 grams of strawberry jam, which is just under 1 cup.
How long will sugar free jam last?
If you store it in the fridge, it should be good for at least one week. However, if you have a family, it will probably disappear much quicker.
To increase the shelf life of this jam you can add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice during cooking. The acids does not only help with the gelling of the jam, it also prevents the growth of bacteria during storage (source). This way, you can easily keep it in the fridge for 3-4 weeks.
Can I make it without sweetener?
If you use REALLY RIPE fruit and reduce the liquid as much as possible, you may not even need additional sweetener. I made this recipe in February. The strawberries available right now are imported and a far cry from the amazing local varieties we can buy here in the UK during strawberry season in June and July.
Using the lemon juice, however, will mean you'll most probably have to add a spoonful of sweetener such as powdered erythritol, Swerve or stevia.
How to make sugar free strawberry jam set without pectin
In this recipe I chose to set the jam with ground white chia seeds. You can either grind them with a pestle and mortar, or you take a whole bunch and blitz them to a fine powder in a food processor or in the attachment of a stick blender. Fill it into an airtight jar and use it to thicken sauces and anything else that needs thickening!
You could also use whole chia seeds to thicken low carb jam, as long as you don't mind the gloopy bobbles. The jam will taste the same, but some people don't like the texture. If you use whole chia seeds, I recommend doubling the amount to 1 tbsp.
Other pectin-free options for thickening jam are gelatin and xanthan gum - even sugar-free jell0.
We had it for breakfast with these keto buns (see photo above) and with some Greek yoghurt. If you want to make a quick low carb bread for your deliciously healthy strawberry jam, try these microwave English muffins. It would also be awesome with keto scones or as the filling of a Victoria sponge cake.
I'm also using this jam in my sugar free strawberry shortcake trifle pots - one of my favourite summer dessert recipes!

Note: The servings slider only changes the first amount in each line and not any subsequent amounts. Please make your own calculations where necessary.
- Chop the strawberries and place them in a saucepan together with the water.
- Bring to the boil (lid on), then turn down the heat medium and let it bubble away for 15 minutes. Only add the lemon juice if you want to store the jam for longer than 1 week - it prevents the growth of bacteria.
- Mash the strawberries with a potato masher (or with a fork), then continue to cook on low-medium for another 30 minutes until reduced by half. You want it to bubble peacefully. Bubbles will become smaller as the liquid evaporates. Stir regularly with a spatula to prevent the jam from burning. Towards the end of cooking, stir constantly.
- Taste. If necessary, sweeten with 1 tablespoon of powdered erythritol.
- Add the ground chia seeds and stir. Cool and fill into a sterilised jar. Store in the fridge.

Fast-paced life and eating habits lead to obesity among 93 percent of the world’s population. Being overweight and obesity have become common problems. So if you are obese you are not alone. But don’t console yourself that you are one of a large proportion of the obese population because not taking corrective action can lead to dangerous health hazards. Obesity has become a major killer because it not only makes your daily activities more difficult but also causes many serious health problems such as strokes, heart failure, severe joints pain, diabetes, several forms of cancer and many more health problems.
The more you gain over weight, the more problems you will have. But it is regrettable that many tend to take obesity in the lighter venin. Carelessness or ignorance of obesity-related issues will lead to a serious level of health harm from which unexpected fatal attacks cannot be avoided. Busy lifestyles and hours before computers and TV deprive us of physical activity and intake of calories and calories spent is unbalanced and leads to being overweight.

Overweight and Obesity
The second group was asked to expend energy – that means exercising – by 16% in the first 3 months and then by 20% for the remaining 9 months. During the search period their heart rate was monitored. Results of the study The calorie restriction group shed 17 pounds and the exercise group shed 14 pounds. But the diet group lost bone density in spine Article Search, hips and legs. There was no significant reduction in bone density among the exercise groups. The results appear in internal medicine archieves.

To cook this snapper in one piece, -without opening or filleting- we will ask the fishmonger to clean and gut it for roasting in the oven. As we are going to roast it on its bed of potatoes, we begin by peeling them and cutting them into slices of approximately half a cm.
Once ready to cook, We distribute the potatoes on a baking tray, trying to cover it entirely and without much mounting on top of each other.. Sprinkle with salt and add a thread of olive oil over them, as seen in the images.
Bake at 190º C for about 15 minutes. We then add the fish broth without exceeding the height of the potatoes and we place the snapper on the bed that we have made with the potatoes. If you want you can also add an onion cut into thin julienne strips and spread it over the potatoes, which will be done while the fish is roasting. (I added it)
We grill the fish, letting it cook for 20 minutes, ten on each side. When you turn it around, it is likely that it will happen to you like me and that some of the fish’s pretty skin stays on the slotted spoon or tool that you use to bake the snapper on the other side.
Three easy and quick baked recipes, to eat well without messing up
With what to accompany the baked snapper on its bed of potatoes
The good thing about this baked snapper recipe on your bed of potatoes is that we make both the dish and its garnish. That is why I recommend that you take the opportunity to dedicate five minutes to the dessert, and bring this dish to the table followed by a mango and raspberry millefeuille, a dessert without an oven that you can make in five minutes.
