Final burns is ok ?
The final set of currency burns occurred earlier this afternoon.
Amount: 257031.885 NBT
Transaction ID: 399b6bae558c91a4f374083b88277601d033300c73939d79f19d859e7c4128c1
Amount: 2,760,487.6 NSR
Transaction ID: 6b6d8be172355276b62d9a7918dc9aa8085cc261088390f61903598c1832352b
This represents the full amount of funds held (grant NBT and NSR from the settlement) that are not currently on exchange in the form of “buy-side” EUR, on CCEDK, or funds that were lost during the Exco.in and CCEDK exchange attacks in February. I am still seeking resolution to recover those funds, and I’ll put together a new post in the coming days detailing the remaining amounts that I’m seeking to recover.
At the same time I’ll try to see if it’s possible to consolidate as many of my operational logs as possible to make them available to the community for data analysis. I’ll start to review the different operating accounts that have logs to confirm that I have the bulk of them in a place that is accessible* and then evaluate what it would take to put them together in a collection.
Thank you for allowing me to act as a custodian for your funds. We encountered a significant number of unexpected challenges along the way, but even with the difficulties I’m proud to have been able to contribute to the network’s early days. Many of the conversations and proposals that I’ve read here on the forums would not have been possible to have without the large number of different events and situations that we’ve come across.
* I know for sure that the tranasctional from BTER during the early to middle of September are not available. BTER did not have a way of accessing this information beyond 24 hours after the trade occurred and I did not know about this until it was too late. I did not operate long on BTER before @jmiller started her operations, so the missing trade records only represent a tiny fraction of my total operations.
Your effort is great;y appreciated, Kiara.
Please accept my apologies for the delay in processing this round of burns. I’m working through an issue with Allcoin where the final withdraw of 1929.27 NBT failed to be transferred and was not returned to account balance. Also, the Poloniex withdraw process is taking a few days longer than originally expected due to their recent withdraw limit changes. I will provide a detailed update very soon. Thank you for your patience.
By the way, I am wondering about the amount of this commission. And was it eventually granted?
Yes. I’m sorry this has taken so long.
I suspect Allcoin of insolvency. If anyone has funds there, I would strongly suggest attempting to withdraw them. For several weeks, I have been attempting to withdraw the final chunk (1929.2719 NBT) of shareholder funds that are still held on Allcoin. This started as a couple of failed withdraw attempts, where I was given an error, the funds were returned to balance, and I was instructed to reattempt the withdraw. This failed withdraw error has happened again, but now I am no longer receiving replies to my inquiries from Allcoin support. This leaves me with nothing to suspect other than pending exchange default for Allcoin.
All remaining funds (91178.16 NBT) under my control, with the exception of pending Allcoin and Bter funds, have been burned in this transaction: 37546ba46b3b546d7c9edce3c61922993e2b4529723a4cef1e704748a894eed0
I will continue to monitor the situations at Bter and Allcoin until resolution or default and inform all of you as soon as I learn anything new.
Tks a lot for your update.
My NBT test deposit to allcoin.com didn’t show up (blockexplorer showed successful tx). My support ticket for the issue hasn;t been answered for almost a week. I think the Nu exchanges page should put up a warning of allcoin.com
Shareholders seemed to suggest that we should not be in the business of preemptively warning our users about potentially dangerous exchanges. From the recent motion to list all exchange resources:
This motion is to express the desire of NuShares holders to list all NuBits and NuShares exchange resources in all current and future marketing materials which are under the control of the Nu team. […] The exchanges listed are not endorsed by the NuShareholders by any means. The NuShareholders cannot be held liable for any funds lost by using these exchanges. This listing only intends to be an overview where NuShares and NuBits can be traded. Users of these exchanges need to do their own due diligence before using these exchanges. This can be done by searching the discuss.nubits.com forums for any previous events or asking questions in the community.
I would like to avoid acting unilaterally in the area of exchange listings, given my previous stance on CCEDK. If any NuShareholder would like to introduce a motion to remove AllCoin from the Exchanges page, I would be happy to comply if it passes. I would assume such a motion would include evidence of the risk the exchange poses to the public.
allcoins has also frozen nsr deposits/withdrawals
There already is a warning - for all exchanges on the footer of https://nubits.com/exchanges/nubits-exchanges:
I feel that trying to track the reliability of exchanges is beyond the capabilities of Nu. Issuing warnings shouldn’t save people from doing their own due diligence, but it might lead to exactly that: they rely on the information about exchanges, believe in them and make Nu accountable for damage that is dealt by that.
I’m not in favour of Nu giving the impression it would vouch for exchanges that carry no individual warnings.
I see a big difference to exchanges with liquidity operations, though (which is not the case for allcoin).
If Nu provides people with incentives to put money at an exchange, it should keep an eye on it.
Practically the liquidity pool operators will be in a good position to track the situation, but still I see some responsibility for Nu not to continue (by funding it) liquidity operations at exchanges that don’t work reliably.
That might be related to nu 2.0 upgrade.
fine with me
This requires me to burn the remaining 40 million NSR I have custody of in the next few days. I will do so, but it weakens the peg until someone or some group has NSR granted to them that they can use to defend the peg. We still have the ability to sell NSR for NBT, but the network will require a week or two to set that in motion. Temporarily, the network is losing its capacity to use tier 6 liquidity in reaction to a quick and unexpected drop in demand for NuBits.
I know group efforts are underway to regain the capacity to bring tier 6 liquidity within hours if needed. Such efforts are important and urgent. I recommend the criteria for selling NSR to support the peg be specified as either:
- Buy side walls in tier 1, 2 and 3 are less than 25% of all liquidity in those tiers.
- Parking rates have been offered continuously for more than 30 days.
This NSR burn is required by motion, but it’s very bad timing.
A pity that the community didn’t put more efforts in forming a tier 4 (buy side) fund management - the NSR would be better there than burned only because of the time it takes to create them by grant.
Keeping a part of tier 4 buy side funds in NSR instead of BTC seems wise in terms of BTC volatility and potential BTC default risk (which might be low, but not 0).
Don’t we have so much Tier 4 we are selling it to buy NSR to burn? It doesn’t make sense to keep these NSR it seems
It should be defined for “are less” for how long.
If this is the kind of timeframe there should be enough time to make NSR grant by voting. Burning the 40mil shouldn’t be an issue.
You do with what you have.
I think the NSR should be burned and have the action closed.
I think criteria 1 is defined as “immediate”. If buy-side walls dip below 25% of all liquidity, the emergency funds kick in right away. It would be dangerous at that point to let any amount of time pass without acting.
The buying side dipping below 25% happened once, right? It was solve by offering high parking rate supposedly. So that was once a year and solveable without selling reserve NSR.
Note that there is another scenario of low percentage buy side. What if the sell side is 74k and buy side is 26k and daily volume is hvering 1 k, then one day the buy side dips below 25k, causng the buy side to be less than 25%. Are we going to increase buy side or do we realize there is actually too much sell side and we are going to cut liquidity provision interest and reduce sell side (which in the example is a better way)? Reducing sell side is also going to lift the buy side in terms of percentage, and if the volume is constantly low, it is the better action.
We only have so much braintime to go around. I say burn the NSR and get the action done.
by the way this discussion highlights again the similarity between Tier 4 and 5, here.
If my bot messes up and posts a million sell side liquidity, does it force the multisig hand to sell nsr? I should hope not.
It’s possible to mess up liquidity information if false information is provided - intentionally or by accident.
For that reason the requirement to grant somebody a custodian address is trust in the reliability and integrity of that person. It would be good if that person does all to make errors unlikely, keep the involved systems safe and use tested software.
If something happens despite all the efforts, it needs to be treated by clever exception handling - checking the buy and sell side via API is one option to improve the reliability; plausibility checks are another option.
if you don’t want to rely on the broadcast liquidity information, you need to gather information from exchanges through API.
That combined with broadcast liquidity could be much more reliable than relying solely on broadcast liquidity information.
plausibility check: the first thing to look after if a million sell side liquidity were reported would be the final balance of BhCnQrYrA5LZm871dtMQEXeU93gmqbhdrC, because that much funds could only be on sell side if the FSRT had put them there.

For three generations, Bucci has been building some of the greatest condo developments in Western Canada. We had the opportunity to create the corporate online presence for Bucci Developments and work together on all advertising and marketing components for their newest condo development, Radius - positioned in the heart of Calgary's inner-city community of Bridgeland.
In creating the identity for Radius, our goal was to use a simple metaphor to show the richness of life in Bridgeland. In a series of ads, our Radius 'R' expanded into a 'double-R' shaped as a keyhole, through which we showed images of the community, the people, and the exquisite views of downtown. Radius is the key to inner-city living in Calgary.
Establishing a single unique selling proposition posed a problem- there were just too many benefits to living in Radius. Struggling to find the room for the mandatory inclusions we had to find a solution that would still allow our communications to stand out. The result is a laundry list. A comically long list of benefits and amenities broken out with plus signs.
For the Radius Presentation Centre, our task was to convert an old furniture store into an engaging space where people could learn everything they needed to know about the project. The macro to micro storytelling toured our visitors on walk-through learning about Bucci, the project history, the building exterior features, interior features, and then, finally, the suites themselves. The tour concludes with a full-size model suite where customers can truly picture themselves living in Radius.
Similar to the sales centre, radiusbridgeland.com walked potential customers through every good thing about living in Radius. From building features to the community amenities, all the information you need is in one place, on a custom, responsive website. It also mirrors and links to our newly redesigned and relaunched Bucci corporate site, where customers can learn more about the developer and their philosophy.

Considering Cannabinoid-Based Medicines for Mental Health
By Lucile Rapin, PhD
Today I woke up feeling blue, feeling stressed. I consider myself privileged, I have a job I enjoy, a healthy family and social circle I love and a comfortable house to live in. So why from one day to another, can I feel happy, ready to get things done, then anxious and stressed about my day to come? This is all part of mental health; mental health is “a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community” (WHO). Mental health affects the emotional, social and psychological domains of our life. It has an impact on how we think, how we feel, how we act, how we communicate.
Mental health used to be only considered in terms of disorders, such as those described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental disorders (DSM-V, 2013). However, mental illnesses and mental health are different. You can be free of a mental illness and still have poor mental health.
The COVID-19 pandemic emphasized the importance of mental health in every individual as billions of people fell into confinement, greatly affecting their mental health status. Health workers and essential workers on the front-line during the pandemic were even more affected. A survey conducted in Canada showed that “one in four (25%) Canadians aged 18 and older screened positive for symptoms of depression, anxiety or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in spring 2021, up from one in five (21%) in fall 2020”(Statistic Canada, 2021).
The pandemic also highlighted the critical need for the government to provide better, more affordable, and faster access to mental health services. In Quebec, the current wait time for a public sector psychological consultation can be up to two years, which is problematic, as people seeking help may be in crises, and mental health conditions are likely to deteriorate during that time.
This is why the theme for the 2021 world mental health day was “Mental health care for all: let’s make it a reality”.
At Santé Cannabis we recognize the need for multi prong approaches to mental health and wellbeing; that there is a need for therapy, medication, community, education, mindfulness, support and more in an individualized approach for each specific person. At Santé Cannabis we try to provide our patients and their community with as many of these supports as possible, but our primary ability is in providing access to trained professionals who can help people navigate medical cannabis to improve their mental health.
How can Cannabinoid-Based Medicines (CBMs) Help?
After years of tabous and marginalisation, mental health issues are now being discussed at the forefront and finally considered. CBM research is riding the wave with an increasing number of studies on the topic. Whereas we acknowledge many mental health symptoms and mental illnesses exist, the following sections will detail research on cannabinoid-based medicines (CBMs) and anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). For those interested in reading more about current evidence on other mental health and psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, attention-deficit hyperactivity deficit or bipolar disorder, several recent reviews have been published (Black et al., 2019; Sarris et al., 2020; Scherma et al., 2018).
Anxiety and Depression in the Literature
As seen in the recent Statistic Canada survey, anxiety and depression are the most frequent mental health conditions experienced by Canadians. Despite limited clinical evidence from randomized clinical trials many observational studies show that mental health symptoms are the second reason for CBM use after chronic pain (Bonn-Miller et al., 2014; Lintzeris et al., 2020; Lucas et al., 2017).
Santé Cannabis recently published a blog post on anxiety and CBMs, discussing what anxiety is and how CBMs may be a treatment to consider. CBMs generally contain diverse concentrations of the primary cannabinoids, Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and cannabidiol (CBD). Even though the exact mechanism of action is still not fully understood, CBD has shown to have anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effects (Campos et al., 2012). Multiple clinical trials indicate a reduction in subjective anxiety ratings with CBD intake compared to placebo in response to an anxiety-provoking stimulus (Zuardi et al., 2017; Bergamaschi et al., 2011; Skelley et al., 2020 for a review on CBD and anxiety disorders).
There is scarce scientific literature to address the relevance of CBMs for the treatment of depressive disorders (Turna et al., 2017). On the other hand, patients frequently use cannabis for medical purposes for the relief of depressive symptoms, and 7 out of 9 cross-sectional studies on medical cannabis reported mood improvement (Walsh et al., 2017).
Besides, improvements in mood were generally reported in studies assessing medical cannabis for chronic pain, multiple sclerosis, HIV, and other conditions (Ellis et al., 2009; Lahat et al., 2012; Page & Verhoef, 2006; Ware et al., 2015)
Anxiety and Depression in our Clinical Experience
Observational evidence from Santé Cannabis patients are in line with the literature. Across the dataset of 1,342 Santé Cannabis patients assessed between 2017 and 2019, 5.4 % of patients have a primary diagnosis related to mental health. However, 59% of patients have identified anxiety or mood-related secondary symptoms. Furthermore, anxious and depressive symptoms frequently co-occur in patients with a primary diagnosis related to chronic pain: 73% of Santé Cannabis patients with a primary diagnosis of chronic pain also have anxiety or mood-related secondary symptoms.
In a recent study, we also showed that patients reported decreased anxiety scores after three months of CBD treatment (Rapin et al., 2021).
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in the literature
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is characterized by the exposure to trauma and symptoms such as intrusive memories, avoidance of distressing factors, increased arousal and alteration of mood/cognition. Nightmares and sleep disturbances are very frequent. PTSD can affect an estimated 9.2% of Canadians in their lifetime, with the disorder twice as prevalent in women compared to men (Katzman et al. 2014).
CBMs are becoming more recognized as a potential treatment for PTSD symptoms; trials conducted on nabilone and THC have demonstrated some benefits in improving sleep disturbances, but larger and longer trials (and more randomized controlled trials) are needed to provide good-quality evidence for cannabinoids’ use in PTSD.
That being said, there are increasing reports of patients self-treating with cannabis as well as anecdotal evidence and case reports that cannabis could reduce PTSD symptoms (Hindocha et al., 2020; Fernández-Ruiz et al., 2020). Anecdotal evidence may not be as scientifically or clinically lauded; but when little evidence from randomized controlled trials is available, anecdotal data should not be disregarded. Even-though, research is still in its infancy and has not yet found the exact cannabinoid formulation to alleviate patients’ PTSD-related symptoms, current trial results indicate promising therapeutic avenues that should be considered.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in our Clinical Experience
“I feel a tremendous amount of compassion for people living with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Since working at Santé Cannabis, I’ve been fortunate to be able to learn so much more about this condition during my interviews with patients with this diagnosis. What has stuck with me the most is all the areas of life that are affected by this disorder. I think of the nightmares, the anger, the pain, the vivid images that keep coming back, and the severe anxiety that prevents one from functioning but also makes interpersonal relationships very difficult.
I think of one veteran in particular that I interviewed several years ago. He told me about having to make a few rounds around his house every night before he could go to bed. He also told me about all his former colleagues and friends that had PTSD and took their own lives because they couldn’t find a way to regain a reasonable quality of life. He had heard about medical cannabis from a veteran friend who said he had found a lot of relief from taking CBD oil. The patient I was evaluating was very shocked by this as he had been against cannabis all his life and after 20 years of researching and trying to find what would help him with his PTSD symptoms, he could not believe that the answer could be cannabis!
What I can say is that, In my practice and that of many of my colleagues, we indeed see significant improvement in many of these patients with medical cannabis.” – Andrée Charbonneau, RN
During Dr. Howard Mitnick’s workshop at the Conference on Cannabinoid-based medicine on May 5th, 2021, Dr. Mitnick also shared his clinical experience with medical cannabis and post-traumatic stress disorder. In his clinical practice, particularly in 2016 when many soldiers deployed to Afghanistan returned, Dr. Mitnick said he was impressed by the very significant impact medical cannabis had on patients that were struggling with PTSD-related anxiety, grasping at anything to just stop their brain.
Despite this, statistics show that the Quebec population is under-represented in Canada’s pool of patients with access to medical cannabis and veterans are no exception, regardless of the extensive Veterans Affairs Canada coverage.
We also know that many veterans who have had a prescription do not have support from medical professionals to navigate their medical cannabis. We want to help improve this situation. That’s why we offer educational presentations open to the public to inform people living with post-traumatic stress disorder about this treatment option, and to let them know about our services and our mission.
Next for CBMs and Mental Health Disorders
This brief overview on a few mental health disorders and symptoms demonstrates the pressing need of more research to evaluate and assert the impact of CBMs on such disorders. Increasing evidence points towards a beneficial effect of CBD on anxiety symptoms, however there is still little evidence for depression. THC may reduce PTSD symptoms but again, current evidence is too low to definitively conclude.
We know that regardless of the formal, scientific evidence, people are using medical cannabis to treat their mental illness and try and improve mental health. We believe in empowering people to make the best decisions with the best evidence, and therefore we need continued study in this critical area.
While evidence is still weak, results are encouraging for future research to take place. The favorable safety profile of CBMs, compared to anxiolytics and antipsychotics for example, as well as the observational reports of patients mentioning decreased symptoms and improved quality of life following CBMs are to be considered to those resistant to further pursuing research on the topic.
While we wait for strong clinical evidence to support the potential of CBMs in mental health disorders, mental health symptoms are still occurring in many people, negatively affecting their everyday life.
The testimony of one of our patients illustrates accurately the impact of mental health symptoms on everyday life:
“It took me a while to admit it to myself, but I have lived with a lot of anxiety since a very young age. This anxiety has had an impact on my ability to work and on my interpersonal relationships, not to mention the immense impact on my body: from daily painful tensions to gastrointestinal difficulties. However, I can say that recognizing anxiety has allowed me to better manage it, to regain my quality of life and my self-esteem.
I had to learn to say no to others, but also to myself. I learned to reduce my financial needs so that I could work less and have more time to invest in my general health.
I felt guilty about this and felt like an “imposter” who could have done better. However, my family doctor was very helpful in validating my feelings and praising me for taking care of myself. Just the fact that she took this approach with me was very helpful in accepting myself and my limitations.
I think the support of my friends and my doctor made all the difference.”
– Nancy Raymond, Santé Cannabis patient
We know that mental health is extremely complex and even with treatments demonstrated for use through rigorous research people regularly need to trial and error a combination of treatments to find what works for them and this may change over their lifetime. Adding another treatment to this cause could be the treatment that works for the next person.
In our clinical practice we have enough data to make informed decisions with our patients, understand drug interactions, and watch for contraindications. We spend time learning about each person before providing an individualized treatment plan and providing regular follow-up – with the objective to ensure that their CBM plan is working towards their mental health goals without side effects. We also know that many people continue to self-treat and may not understand the complexity of using CBMs to treat mental health issues. Mental health is health and needs to be treated with the same level of care and follow up as any other health condition and new medication treatment. We encourage the training of healthcare professionals to understand medical cannabis in the treatment of mental health issues, and support research to improve our evidence-base as we all work together to ensure that patients’ mental health is treated properly.
Mental health plays a significant role in our life, it is crucial that it is taken seriously by both the individuals and governments. Health is not simply the absence of disease, it is a complete state of physical, mental and social wellbeing (WHO) and for many of us, the past 2 years have highlighted the important role our mental and social wellbeing play in our daily experience.
For me, when I start feeling anxious, I step away from screens, take a walk in my neighbourhood and try to put things into perspective – these are strategies I developed that work for me. Some days even that is hard to prioritize, yet I have learned that it is essential to listen to my wellbeing and adjust my day to ensure favorable mental health.
I’m fortunate that these strategies work for me, but in my life, work and research, I know that these strategies don’t work for everyone. For some, it can be helpful to have positive and good-hearted social interactions, satisfying sleep and eating habits, exercise, outdoors, work-family balance, and mindfulness. For others it may be the support of professionals with group or individualized therapy, and/or medication. At Santé Cannabis we hope that among the medications considered for mental health are CBMs, and we encourage further research, and for those interested in trying CBMs to reach out to their doctor.
If you feel deterioration in your mental health it is important to seek help:
At Santé Cannabis, our clinicians and nurses are here to help our patients find the right treatment for their symptoms. We also offer our patients support groups, presentations and tools including stress management and mindfulness.
Santé Cannabis is committed to advancing knowledge about mental health and cannabinoid-based treatments, and as such, we offer research services to companies and institutions interested in developing clinical studies.
For clinicians currently treating people with mental health symptoms who wish to include medical cannabis in their practice, our preceptorships are available to all local and international physicians. For prescribers in Quebec, we also offer a free training program on cannabinoid-based treatments and how to prescribe them.

If you have a 500 or a 1000 Rs. note, then frame it. It depicts an end of an era. The sudden, surprising and a definitely bold move of the government to ban denominations of Rs.500 and Rs.1000, has left all in a huge panic. With banks and ATMs closed for 2 days, people are in a state of helplessness. Any change/revolution needs a bit of sacrifice. How useful will this sacrifice be for India and our fight against corruption?
A huge and costly dent in black money
1. The most prominent effect would be seen on people having money stored in form of currency notes. Most of the unaccounted money (Black Money) is hidden in denomination of 500 and 1000. This move will render that money useless.
2. This move will enormously affect the funding of terrorist organizations and arms dealers as they can never be able to legalize the currency notes they possess.
3. This would also remove a large chunk of counterfeit currency from circulation.
4. Many would cite that even earlier such a move was tried, yet black money prevailed. However, this time since the amount of black money is huge; the dent in it will also be huge.
5. Due to inability to use the entire black money or convert it to legal money in such a short time of 50 days, will lead to reduction in prices of many commodities. Black money has been prominent in increasing inflation as cash transaction is the most prevalent form of transaction in India.
6. Since Income Tax department and banks will report large transaction and deposits into a bank account, transferring money in others name would not be possible. This will tighten the noose on illegal and benami assets.
7. If any person possessing Black money decides to deposit money in his/her account and pay the taxes which he/she might have avoided, these taxes will benefit the nation itself.
8. The newer currency notes of denomination 500 and 2000 will be much more secure and difficult to fake.
Corruption – Just changing clothes
1. Corruption can never be uprooted completely by such measures as it is a tendency of humans and only a change within ourselves can be a solution.
2. The only effect this move will have is the inconvenience it is causing citizens and some small time corrupt people who might have cash stored away. The big fish will escape with small bruises.
3. Even though the notes are banned, there are host of other measures to maintain unaccounted and illegal assets.
4. The government will be introducing new 500 Rs and 2000Rs. Notes. This is pointless as people will again get chance to have unaccounted money because of the higher denomination.
5. Though some may not be able to use the huge stack of money they have stored away, most of them have their money in form of gold, etc. This will not be affected at all.
6. Since many will be using the unaccounted money to buy stuff like gold, jewelry, precious stones, etc. under fake names, the prices of these commodities will increase a lot. This will again be an inconvenience to common citizens as these things will get out of their reach.
7. Many having black money have already kept it in tax havens, etc. This is a huge amount compared the amount we might find in India or as unaccounted cash money with corrupt people. So as such it will not bring back the unaccounted wealth stored outside.
8. The 50 days’ time given for currency conversion is more than enough for tax avoiders to come with a scheme to make their other arrangements for their money.
It is a start. There can be no panacea for human tendency to be greedy and corrupt, but there can be measures to keep such people under control. Though banning currency notes may not be a long term solution, but in the short term it can have a huge effect as the stored caches will be rendered useless. It might not be a huge victory but it is a victory nonetheless. This measure when supported by other better policies and good governance will surely tighten the noose on corruption. So, it is important to support this venture and hail it as positive step towards corruption free India.
Ban 500, 1000 notes – Corruption Uprooted or just changing clothes!

Well, when we opened the door as a PMA-registered review service, we thought we would get a “couple” books. During the first week we were receiving nearly 30 a day, now it’s down to just one or two a day. Still, at the one-month mark, we’re looking at bookshelves loaded with about 200 new books to read.
The titles cover every conceivable subject, with plenty to share in each of our age groups. We are thrilled to see the offerings from smaller publishing houses, as well as the creative tools authors and publishers are using to make books come to life (especially for reluctant readers and those requiring remedial reading work). There will be plenty for us to offer for families homeschooling, as well, because we have lots of interactive and themed materials (especially science), as well as workbooks.
Needless to say, with 200 books on our “to do” list, the process will be slow-going to get the reviews up on the Web site. We have traditionally posted reviews within 4 to 6 weeks, but it will likely be closer to 10 to 12 weeks for the short term. There’s still time for summer reading, and the invitation is always open to join us as a Reading Tub family. We’ll send you the books, you send us the profile after you’ve shared them with your children.
We’ll begin posting links for the reviews this fall, so stay tuned.

The advanced air Defence interceptor missile being launched from Wheeler Island, off the Dhamra coast in Orissa, on December 6, 2007.
SOMETIME in February, a modified version of Dhanush, India’s surface-to-surface missile, will take off from a naval ship in the Bay of Bengal. As the powerful missile, simulating the terminal conditions of a ballistic missile of a range of 1,500 kilometres, heads towards the Wheeler Island, off the Orissa coast, an interceptor missile will take off from the island and waylay the incoming “enemy” missile at an altitude of 80 km and pulverise it. The interception will take place in the last few seconds of the flight of the “enemy” missile.
If the interception is a success, it will be a hat-trick for the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in its quest to establish a credible missile shield against incoming ballistic missiles from adversarial countries. The advantage in this mission, in which the interception takes place at an altitude of 80 km, is that the debris of the “enemy” missile will take longer to fall through the atmosphere and will become cinders. DRDO scored a spectacular success on December 6, 2007, when its interceptor missile Advanced Air Defence (AAD-02) smashed into an incoming Prithvi missile in a “hit to kill” mode. It propelled India into an elite group of three countries – the United States, Russia and Israel – that have the ability to intercept ballistic missiles. On November 27, 2006, India’s first interceptor missile, Prithvi Air Defence, “ambushed” an incoming Prithvi-II missile at an altitude of 50 km.
Today, India has an inventory of powerful missiles, which include Agni, Agni II, Agni III, and Prithvi with its naval and air force versions, Akash, Nag, Astra, BrahMos, underwater-launched K-15 (Sagarika) and land version Shourya. Missile development in India is a saga of self-reliance and sustained struggle, with the pioneers learning by reverse engineering and battling technology-denial regimes such as the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR).
V.K. Saraswat, Chief Controller, Missiles and Strategic Systems, DRDO, said: “Today, we are confident that any time the West switches off the complete flow of technology or components, we will be in a position to build these missiles.”
The emphasis in DRDO’s missile programme, in future, will be on systems that are reliable, robust and cost-effective. Each missile can attack multiple targets. The missiles will have precision-guided ammunition to pick out areas of interest such as military facilities and radar installations. “This means you need a very accurate weapon system. Precision is going to be the buzzword,” Saraswat said. The technologies that will help in achieving such miniaturised but highly accurate systems are micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS), nano-sensors, nano-materials, advanced computers with sophisticated software, and so on.
Saraswat, who is Programme Director, Air Defence, said: “So DRDO has embarked on a major programme of development of MEMS, nano-materials and nano-sensors to enable it to enter this particular area. In terms of speed, since the time available to reach the target will be short, the future work will be in the area of hypersonic missiles. We are already working on scram-jet technology. Our project on Hypersonic Technology Demonstrator Vehicle (HSTDV), where we want to demonstrate the performance of a scram-jet engine at an altitude of 15 km to 20 km, is already on.”
DRDO’s missile programme dates back to 1959-60 when Dr. D.S. Kothari was Scientific Adviser to the Defence Minister. A group of young scientists including S.L. Bansal, K.C. Chaturvedi and B.N. Singh, motivated by the international scenario at that time and the 1962 Chinese aggression, set about thinking of missile technology development in India. Work began at the Metcalfe House in New Delhi at a conceptual level. Soon the missile establishment shifted to Hyderabad, where the State government gave it the army barracks of the erstwhile Nizam. This was the genesis of the Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), Hyderabad. DRDO started with building anti-tank missiles.
Its first anti-tank missile was a totally indigenous product – propulsion, control, guidance, power supply and the materials. There were no computers, and electronic circuits were used to make calculations. The missile was test-fired near Imarat, a village on the outskirts of Hyderabad. Its reliability proved to be good.
The project laid the foundation of India’s missile programme and it helped to train many technologists including A.V. Ranga Rao, S. Krishnan, K. Rama Rao, Z.P. Marshal, H.S. Rama Rao and J.C. Bhattacharya, who later contributed to the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP).
Many from this group of more than 50 people, who were involved in the development of India’s anti-tank missile, went on to set up the Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL), Hyderabad, which became the production agency of missiles. And, in the late 1960s, the Government of India decided on licensed production of SS-11B anti-tank missile of France at the BDL.
However, on the international scene, work on missile development had started before the First World War. During the Second World War, Germany could boast the brilliant missile technologist Werner von Braun. By the end of the Second World War, Germany had built the formidable V-2 rocket, signalling that Germany had arrived. After the defeat of Germany, the U.S. and the Soviet Union captured Germany’s top missile technologists and used their expertise to build their missile programmes. A missile race began between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, leading to a proliferation of Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles (IRBMs) and Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs).Reverse engineering
All this motivated DRDO to somehow bridge the gap and it initiated a major project for developing a surface-to-air missile (SAM). It did this by reverse engineering the Russian SAM-2, which Russia had supplied to India. India busied itself with this project from 1970 to 1979.
If DRDL has today grown to be a massive complex with a huge infrastructure, the credit should go to Air Vice Marshal V.S. Narayanan. He was the one who perceived the need to build a critical mass of infrastructure. He set up solid and liquid propellant test facilities, the base for precision-manufacturing of gyroscopes, accelerometers, actuators for missiles’ control and guidance, and foundry for manufacturing light materials such as magnesium. “I am happy to say that I joined DRDO as a young scientist at that time,” said Saraswat.
Saraswat gave another instance of the sweep and amplitude of Air Vice Marshal Narayanan’s vision. Narayanan realised that academic institutions should have tailor-made courses for young men interested in missile technology. An M.Tech course in missile technology was started at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, with the help of its Aeronautics Department, in the early 1970s. Many DRDO scientists who pursued that course went on to become project directors and programme directors in its laboratories.
V.K. Saraswat, Chief Controller, Missiles and Strategic Systems, DRDO.
Between 1970 and 1979, the basic technologies needed for a missile programme were in place. Yet, India was not in a position to deliver the systems. So the indigenisation of the Russian SAM-2 began. In parallel, a programme called Valiant began under the leadership of Squadron Leader R. Gopalswamy to build a rocket engine powered by liquid propellants. Saraswat was part of the team that built the engine between 1971 and 1974. Dr. B.D. Nag Chaudhri, then Scientific Adviser to the Defence Minister, motivated the young missile technologists not only to indigenise SAM-2 but build technologies needed for the future, such as liquid engines. The engine was tested on June 10, 1974. The previous month, India had conducted a peaceful nuclear experiment at Pokhran.
DRDO simultaneously turned its attention to building a guidance package because the inertial navigation system formed an essential part of a long-range missile. A team headed by D. Burman and comprising P. Banerjee and Avinash Chander (who now heads the Advanced Systems Laboratory in Hyderabad that designs and builds the Agni series of missiles) built a platform-based inertial navigation system (INS), which was tested on board an Avro aircraft in 1974-75. This INS, based on transistor-based analog computers, weighed 50 kg. (Today, the INS weighs 9 kg.) Subsequently, said Avinash Chander, an INS was built for both missiles and an aircraft, and this was tested in 1979 on board a Canberra aircraft.
By now, DRDL had built enough infrastructure in the fields of propulsion, navigation and manufacture of materials. But it did not have its own range (launch pads), so it used the Indian Space Research Organisation’s Sriharikota base or the Indian Air Force’s Suryalanka air base for flight-testing its own SAM-2.
Soon, India’s political and scientific leadership, which included Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Defence Minister R. Venkataraman, and Scientific Adviser to the Defence Minister V.S. Arunachalam, decided that all these technologies should be consolidated. This led to the birth of the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, who was project director of ISRO’s successful SLV-3 flight in 1980, was inducted as the DRDL Director to shape these diverse technologies into a good product. It was then decided that DRDL would pursue multiple projects simultaneously and not merely one project at a time.
Thus, four projects were born under the IGMDP: the tactical surface-to-surface missile Prithvi, the tactical surface-to-air Akash, the short-range surface-to-air Trishul, and the anti-tank missile Nag.
According to Kalam, Prithvi could not be converted into a long-range missile and so the DRDO should come up with re-entry technology. “On Kalam’s insistence, a development project on re-entry technology was included in the programme [IGMDP], and he called it Agni,” said Saraswat. Thus, the 1980s saw the realisation of technologies in the areas of Nag, the inertial navigation system of Prithvi, phased array radars, capability to handle multiple targets, the re-entry technology of Agni, the ram-rocket motor of Akash, and so on.Technology
The first Prithvi test-firing took place in 1988 and the Agni Technology Demonstrator’s flight-test took place the following year. After the launch of Agni in 1989, the U.S. declined to give India the phase shifters for the phased array radars for Akash. Germany refused to give India the magnesium alloy used in Prithvi’s wings. Servo-valves needed for the electro-hydraulic control systems of Agni and Prithvi were embargoed. France, which used to give gyroscopes and accelerators to India, said its exports were taboo. Intel said it would not give India chips for the computers used in Prithvi and Agni. “This is a very short list. The list runs into hundreds of components and materials,” said a top DRDO scientist. After 1989, DRDO evolved strategies to counter the MTCR.
The missile men duly began programmes for the development of phase shifters, magnesium alloy, servo-valves, and so on. Kalam and his team formed a consortium of DRDO laboratories such as the Solid State Physics Laboratory and the Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory (DMRL), the Defence Research and Development Establishment, industries and academic institutions to build these sub-systems, components and materials. It was an exacting path, but it yielded positive results. The public sector undertaking Mishra Dhatu Nigam Limited (MIDHANI), DMRL and private industries developed the magnesium alloy in two years. When the first plate of magnesium alloy rolled out of MIDHANI, Germany proferred India any amount of magnesium alloy. DRDO wrote back saying it was prepared to export the alloy to Germany.
The phase shifters, a critical element for radars for Akash, was jointly developed by the Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi, the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani and the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) laboratories The resins and carbon fibres used in the re-entry systems of Agni, which were denied to DRDO, were developed in India. The winding machines, also denied, were fabricated.
Saraswat said: “While this was a painful process, it laid a strong foundation for research and it stood the country in good stead because today there is a flair for doing this kind of work in industry, academic institutions and laboratories.”

British Airways Restructures UK Direct SalesMarch 16, 2006 By: Susan Young Travel Agent
British Airways said it would restructure parts of its UK direct sales operations in response to changing customer behavior and increased sales on its [www.ba.com] web site. As a result, by August 2006, the airline plans to close its Travel Shops business (basically direct selling ticket stores) as well as the airline's Belfast-based customer call center. The proposed changes will impact 300 employees in the airline's 17 travel shops, its corporate travel agency Worldlink based at Heathrow and its back office support areas, as well as an additional 100 employees at the call center. The airline said it will consult with its trade unions about the proposed closures. British Airways said increasingly its customers want to book online, and that the UK call center has experienced a drop of more than 60 percent in calls since 2001, from 15 million annually to six million today.

Letters From the Labyrinth 342
Sorry for the delay. Depending on what time you usually read this on Sunday morning’s, it may be an hour or two late. It is 7:11 AM as I write this, and Dallas just woke me up to remind me to finish the newsletter and send it to you. I’m normally awake and sending it at 5, but I didn’t get home until 1 this morning, because myself, authors Wesley Southard and Geoff Cooper, Coop’s girlfriend, and two of their friends, went to see Pantera and Lamb of God last night. And thanks to Charlie Benante (Anthrax, S.O.D., and now Pantera) and Jeremy Wagner (Broken Hope, Earthburner) we got the full treatment — backstage passes, after party, reserved seats — the works.
We had such an absolute blast. And having a blast is what it is all about. Writing is a strange kind of fame. As Christopher Golden puts it when asked if he’s famous, “It depends on what room I’m standing in.” After writing professionally for nearly thirty years, and being famous in certain rooms for twenty-five, I have never achieved wealth or even much of a financial safety net. But I have made readers, fans, and friends from all walks of life, and when those connections sometimes allow me to give my friends a special moment like last night? Well, that’s a kind of wealth that money can’t buy. Thank you Charlie and Jeremy for making that happen.
I got home at 1 AM to find that Mary and my 15-year old had a fun night of bonding — watching Birdemic, The Truman Show, and the original Halloween. So, an absolute blast for everyone last night.

Work this last week was pretty much set inside the Lost Level. I began the first of those stories mentioned above, and it has unexpectedly become a real thoughtful, heartfelt meditation on diverging roads, so I’m taking my time with it. I’m also going full bore on BENEATH THE LOST LEVEL, having gotten the setup and exposition out of the way.
Those were the main thrusts this week. I also approved cover art for the forthcoming Manhattan On Mars reprint of AN OCCURRENCE IN CRAZY BEAR VALLEY. And shipped out a lot of Manhattan On Mars packages. (I was at the post office every day this week). I got another shipment of books for Lifetime Subscribers and began signing them. I worked on edits for LOVE AND HATE IN THE TIME OF COVID. And I answered a lot of emails concerning OPERATION: WALKABOUT, but can’t do much else with that one right now, as we now have to wait for others.
That’s one of the big differences between publishing your book with an indie press versus publishing your book with a mainstream press. I know people talk about the differences in money, but in my nearly 30 year experience of writing for both, the money comes out even eventually, provided your books are selling. So, no, the money thing has never been an issue for me. What I find frustrating is the speed at which the two move. If you’ve gone the indie route, you’re probably only dealing with one to three people behind the scenes. With a mainstream book, there could be fifty, and each and every one of them has their own agenda, some of which align with yours and some of which don’t. Mainstream publishing moves at the speed of a crowd, in fits and spurts. For a person like me (whom my lovely wife has repeatedly and lovingly described as “a control freak’s control freak”), it can be hard to let go and let others drive the bus. Particularly when there are as many moving parts as this thing is going to have.

This past Friday’s episode of What We Do In The Shadows (“Local News”) is easily the funniest of this season, and one of the funniest of the entire series. A glorious return to form for the entire team.

My garden is a mixed bag so far this summer. I’ve only had enough beans to cook for two meals and freeze for two more. After that, all the bean plants said “Screw this heat” and promptly died. But I have cucumbers and tomatoes out the wazoo (which is a unit of measure taught to me by my farmer father). Seriously, cucumber yield has been insane this summer. They are huge, each measuring over twelve inches long and a minimum of an inch thick. I’ll be eating cucumber and tomato salads twice a day for the next month, with plenty left over for freezing, canning, and pickling.

And that does it for this week. I hope to see some of you on tonight’s livestream. Bring questions. And thanks to those of you who showed up last Sunday night, and to those of you subscribing to this weekly newsletter. I’ll see you back here next week.

Ok, remember my entry yesterday? This time, we tried out their sister restaurant in Malacca. Newly opened, about 4-5 months ago. The location is right behind RHB Bank, opposite from AEON Bandaraya Melaka. I read from a blog about this restaurant. You can view this blogger's entry HERE.
Since it was our first attempt, we ordered minimum dinner spread.
The butter milky prawn...super yummm! All of you should try this... Definitely delicious...
The vegies. Kailan and hubby requested pucuk keledek strir fried with a lot of garlic. And yes it was delicious.
The scizhuan chicken if I'm not mistaken. It was nice, but not good enough for my taste bud.
They have a few versions of shark fin soup. So we ordered three different flavours for each bowls. I like the chilly version better. You know, you really can found a lot of crab flesh in it. So fresh and so flavourful....
Ok...This is another option for another fine dining location in Malacca. Definitely satisfying.

The ease and convenience of making my reservation was phenomenal! I needed to make a change to the reservation and it was easy as pie!! The hotel itself was extremely clean, the staff were friendly and accommodating. The grounds are kept up and it has a very welcoming feeling when you walk in the lobby. The room itself was beyond expectations. Clean, fresh, and huge!! The bathroom was enormous and I loved the windows that looked out. The only drawback was the noise and vibration in my room when the door to the next guest room was opened and/or closed. The rooms are a bit pricey, but you totally get your money's worth!! Highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing and pleasant stay.

Police officer accidentally fires his machine gun in a Christmas market
Hannover - A police officer accidentally fires a round with his sub-machine gun in a Christmas market in Hannover.
After the incident last Monday, a similar one happened on Wednesday near a police station when a gun accidentally fired according to spokesman of the police of Lower Saxony.
Nobody was injured. The incidents were previously reported by the Hannoversche Allgemeine newspapers.
The security measures in many German Christmas markets have been increased after the attack at Breitscheidplatz last year.
Also in Lower Saxony the police are in charge of securing the Christmas markets. They are equipped with 9mm sub-machine guns of type MP5 .
The guns are now being examined by experts. Improper use hasn't been ruled out.
Since in both cases the guns were pointing down, the bullets just hit the ground.

Canyoneering (or canyoning) can involve any or all of the following: hiking, swimming, rappelling, climbing, bushwacking, fitting into extremely small spaces, hypothermia, heat stroke and dehydration. To some that list sounds like a description of a nightmare but for many of us, it sounds like a dream adventure.
But you can explore canyon landscapes no matter what your experience level—your experience playing in the desert is what you make it. With thorough planning, research and guidance, you can find anything from a leisurely walk or good, long run through warm, dramatic terrain, to a full-on expedition with all the hi-tech gear you need to traverse uncharted territory. The terrain you choose can be vast or small, mellow or challenging.
And remember that canyons provide a lot of vertical, craggy rock walls and, sometimes, at the bottom, you'll find rushing, cold, muddy water (depending on the season). Sometimes you'll find caves and caverns at others. And though it's all play, making sure you follow the rules can be the difference between injury and returning home unscathed.
If you're looking for more adventure, seek out a guide. If you're going it alone, heed to these basics:
Know the Season
And what conditions to expect at different times of the year.
Know Where You're Going
Map it out and research the area. According to your skill level and what you want to do there, allow yourself enough time and make sure you're capable.
Have all the Appropriate Equipment Ready
If you're planning on climbing, rappelling or getting in the water, make sure you have EVERYTHING you need AND the skillset to accomplish your goal. If you have the smallest doubt, make sure you have a proficient guide with you or DON'T GO.
Use Common Sense
Know all the Possible Dangers
Use Resources and Ask for Help

|Diana by Peter Emmerich|
With the increased interest in Diana Vreeland (thanks to a new biography and the lovely film, "The Eye Has to Travel"), I was happy to see there would be a local revival of "Full Gallop", the one-woman play about her that premiered off-Broadway in 1996.
"Full Gallop" was written by Mary Louise Wilson and Mark Hampton. It was a tour-de-force for Mary Louise, garnered postive reviews, won her a Drama Desk Award and had a good run. Of course New York City is the perfect venue for anything Vreeland. I glimpsed Diana only once, during her time as editor in chief of Vogue, and feel the connection still. In fashion, publishing and museum-centric NYC that sense must be in the thousands.
|Mary Louise Wilson in the original production|
More surprisingly, "Full Gallop" has been staged in other cities with different actresses for years. The production I just saw was itself a revival. The actress portraying Diana expressed her feeling that being older herself now gives the performance more depth.
This is not a review, though I'm surely influenced in my desire to write by flubbed lines and garbled dialogue. I was disappointed because she was portrayed for laughs. Every amazing bon mot was delivered with the intention of prompting a rise from the audience. She came across as being hounded by creditors, desperate for small change and more of a huckster than someone who really did have no idea about money. Her fallen-apart dinner party seemed like the guests would do anything to avoid spending the evening with her, one even suddenly heading off to Morocco. The actress drank constantly, filling her glass with ice and water that I assume was meant to be vodka. Didn't Mrs. V drink scotch? And couldn't the actress have nursed it so we didn't wonder if Diana was really a lush?
My hope is this is not the way "Full Gallop" is being staged. I haven't found any of Mary Louise Wilson's performances to judge her original intent. Not everyone will have seen "The Eye Has to Travel" first and certainly may not wish to afterwards. From what I witnessed on stage, I think the lady needs to speak for herself.

In the spatial conformation of fatty acids, if hydrogen atoms are distributed on the same side of unsaturated bonds, they become cis-fatty acids. Conversely, hydrogen atoms on either side of unsaturated bonds are called trans fatty acids. Trans fatty acids are widely used in food processing to improve the taste and flavor of food. Today, we will introduce you to trans fatty acids. First, let’s discuss the health risks of trans fatty acids.
Lead to obesity
Trans fatty acids are not easily digested by the body and tend to accumulate in the abdomen, leading to obesity. People who like to eat snacks such as chips should be aware that trans fatty acids in fried foods can cause significant fat accumulation.
Increased risk of coronary heart disease
Excessive intake of trans fatty acids increases the risk of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Studies have shown that trans fatty acids lower levels of good high density cholesterol (HDLC) and increase levels of bad low density cholesterol (LDLC).
Affect growth and development
High intake of trans fatty acids in pregnant or lactating women can affect the health of the fetus. Studies have found that the fetus or infant can passively absorb trans fatty acids through the placenta or milk, and they are more likely than adults to develop essential fatty acid deficiency, which affects the growth and development of the fetus and infant. In addition, it also affects the absorption of essential fatty acids in growing adolescents. Trans fatty acids can also adversely affect the growth and development of the central nervous system in adolescents.
Trans fatty acids have been linked to an increased risk of blood clots, memory loss, an increased burden on the kidneys and reproductive function. According to the Dietary Nutrient Reference Intake of Chinese Residents (2013) edition, “the maximum limit of trans fatty acids derived from food industrial processing in the diets of children over 2 years old and adults in China is 1% of the total dietary energy”, which is roughly equivalent to 2g.
Which foods contain trans fatty acids?
The vast majority of trans fatty acids consumed in daily life come from processed foods, such as pastries, biscuits, cocoa butter substitutes, fried foods, and puffed foods. However, trans fatty acids are not usually found on many packaged food ingredient lists. So none of these foods contain trans fats? That’s not the case! Trans fatty acids are just a “waistcoat” hidden in the ingredients list! The following ingredients are trans fatty acids oh, recommended collection!
Hydrogenated vegetable oil, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, hydrogenated vegetable oil, hydrogenated rape oil, hydrogenated fat, hydrogenated shortening, hydrogenated palm oil;
Refining: refined vegetable oil, refined palm oil, refined vegetable oil, refined coconut oil;
Artificial category: ghee, margarine, margarine, margarine butter, artificial fat;
Planting fat: planting fat, planting fat cream, planting fat end, planting fat creamer;
Others: Cocoa butter, creamer, shortening, shortening, vegetable butter, vegetable butter, trans fat, compound lipid ingredients, margarine, white oil, Snow White butter, etc.
In summary, when you see ingredients on the list that contain the words “hydrogenated” “ghee” “vegetable fat” “artificial oil” “refined oil” “cocoa butter” and so on, you should pay attention to it. It is very likely to contain a certain amount of trans fatty acids.
After reading the above content, many people have a question, why some food ingredients clearly have trans fatty acids, but the nutrition list is “0”? According to national regulations, if the trans fatty acid content is less than or equal to 0.3 grams per 100 grams of product, it can be labeled as “0”, so,? The “0” on the food label probably means that the product contains less than 0.3 grams of trans fat per 100 grams, not that it doesn’t.
Trans fatty acids are harmful to our health, so you must read the food label carefully to know how to eat. Remember to eat no more than 2g of trans fat a day!

Almost everything is part of a system and may itself be a system. This approach is sometimes called systems science and has the benefit of allowing us to model behaviours. Some systems are “self-regulating”, such as:
• the physiological systems of our body
• local and global ecosystems and climates
• human learning processes
Many others exist for specific purposes and should be designed to meet performance requirements, such as:
• a factory
• a kitchen
• building services
The idea originates from Bertalanffy’s General System Theory (GST) and is used in later in theories about self-regulating systems, such as the social systems theory of Niklas Luhmann, and Talcott Parsons’ action theory.
Our interests are less esoteric. Instead, we model movement and interaction in an effort to help improve performance. These models are used for discussion amongst stakeholders and to convey information to consultants so they can improve performance.
A systems approach is valuable to stakeholders who wish to achieve a better result and to consultants charged with the responsibility of making any kind of change.

A Dog is accused of killing his mistress in a fit of rage. An Amateur dog lover detective steps in to investigate. How could I miss this one?
‘Bho Bho’ is a Detective thriller written and directed by Bharat Gayakwad Starring one of the biggest actor from marathi theatre, Prashant Damle.
‘Bho Bho’ has an premise which can be either unique and interesting or silly and childish depending upon how it is executed. When I saw the poster for this movie (the one shown in the pic above), I was intrigued as well as skeptical. Then I totally forgot about this movie.
Today while checking shows for Shahrukh khan’s ‘Fan’, I stumbled upon this movie again. After reading that this is a murder mystery, I couldn’t afford to miss this one. Obivuosly Shah Rukh Khan had to wait. Did I bite my own leg by choosing to watch this movie? Lets see.
The best thing about this movie is Prashant Damle. He delivers compelling performance as a middle-class insurance officer with a soft spot for dogs. His amatuer detective ‘Vyankatesh Bhonde’ is a delight to watch. He is funny and more importantly he is clever. Prashant Damle elevates the movie with his prowess not just with comedy but also with a emotional performance.
The Screenplay starts out strong and moves fast. It is towards the end that the film struggles to find a satisfying resolution to its unique premise. There are many scenes which are quite briiliant while some other which come off as childish or forced. But the movie is sure to tug the heart-strings of animal lovers.
Over all, ‘Bho Bho’ is a entertaining murder mystery with a unique twist. Watch it for Prashant Damle’s performance and its unique take on ‘whodunit’ genre.

MANILA – Businesswoman Janet Lim Napoles' camp is set to submit to Justice Secretary Leila De Lima before noon today her extended, comprehensive affidavit detailing the participation of several lawmakers, "agents," and other personalities in the multi-billion peso "pork barrel" scam.
Speaking to reporters, De Lima said the affidavit is now complete.
"Her lawyers texted me and told me tapos na, ang kulang na lang ay yung pagpapa-notaryo… Then they will submit to me before noon time," she said.
De Lima will transmit the affidavit, as well as the first and "initial" affidavit already in her possession to the Senate today, in compliance of the second extension granted her by the Blue Ribbon Committee.
The Justice chief reiterated her plea against making the affidavits public, while the vetting and evaluation of its contents have yet to be completed by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).
"I reiterate my position... of course, I'm not imposing on the Senate, the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee, and Sen. TG Guingona... but I reiterate my position na hindi na muna sana isapubliko ang mga yan," De Lima said.
She is also set to submit to the committee a copy of the contents of Benhur Luy's external hard drive, which supposedly show the accounting records in connection with the scam.

By Kathy Ostrowski, legislative director, Kansans for Life
Kansas media hardly covered abortionist Kermit Gosnell’s “House of Horrors” murder trial but were there last week to cover a measly group of 15 abortion supporters conducting a protest tour of states with the fewest abortion clinics. These are self-avowed “Abortion on demand without apology” folks who shamelessly liken their tour across the country to the Freedom Rides of the 1960s.
On Friday, “A Better Choice” pregnancy help center in Wichita, Kansas, was the site for a media event by these activists from StopPatriarchy.org. As reported by the Wichita Eagle, activists “carried signs with slogans such as ‘Fake Clinic,’ and ‘Stop Forced Motherhood,’ and festooned the front of the building with faux crime-scene tape reading ‘Danger, Crimes Against Women.”
The Eagle also reported that Wichita’s National Organization for Women (N.O.W.) chapter declined to join with the protesters. Why? Although they agree with the messaging, the activist’s “more militant” tactics “may be too strong for Wichita and could backfire by stoking anti-abortion passions.”
Vicki Stangl, immediate past president of the group said, “We’re not trying to beat people over the head.”
That “softer” approach might be a head-scratcher for those who have been watching the state N.O.W. group over the past two years, who :
· defiantly banged a stamping machine on the podium during legislative testimony,
· dragged automobile tires into the Capitol to protest a law removing the “spare tire protection” of abortion coverage, and
· orchestrated email bombs to the pro-life governor.
Anarchy, not mere militancy seems all the rage. After all, didn’t Texas attract thousands of abortion supporters (with the help of CraigsList) hoping to bombard legislators with soiled feminine hygiene products inside the Capitol? Was it a sick joke, or something else, when they chanted, “Hail Satan”?
That stridency didn’t work in Texas. It won’t work in most places. For sure (as N.O.W. tacitly admitted) it won’t work in Kansas.

An old friend used to call ratty old cars that didn’t look like much, but ran well—vehicles of convenience. I’m not sure that my favorite custard sauce falls exactly into the old-beater-category, but it is pretty unremarkable to look at. And it certainly has rescued me on more than one occasion.
In some circles this sauce could be considered a Crème Anglaise, and we have already covered its wonders back in September with Floating Islands and Eggs in Snow. Today’s custard sauce is the trimmed down version: instead of 4 egg yolks, we use only 1 egg—just enough to supply that eggy flavor we crave. For additional body we include a bit of cornstarch, much like Britain’s well-loved Bird’s Custard Powder. The cornstarch not only helps to thicken the sauce, it also improves its holding power, making it far more stable and less fickle than the usual egg-based custard sauce.
Not only is this convenient sauce delicious and fast; it is extremely versatile and especially handy when time and resources are limited. It can be made in an easy 10 minutes and will hold for two days in refrigerator. Serve it hot, warm or chilled over pound cake, fresh or baked fruit; flavor it to suit the occasion: add citrus, almond or other extract, a jigger of brandy or a favorite liqueur. Yes, I’ve even served it on hot oatmeal…
Today at the market I picked up a slim basket of tempting blackberries (no, they weren’t local; but I tell self that in Texas they rarely are anyway). Later I whipped up a quick convenient sauce to honor the berries. I briefly marinated them in a bit of sugar plus a dash of balsamic vinegar.
At dessert they were liberally doused in plenty of the silky, thick custard sauce. What a glorious sight: blackberries floating amidst a burnished brown marinade and creamy custard sauce—a stunning marbleized swirl in the glass.
1 large egg, room temperature
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp genuine vanilla extract
1-1/2 cup milk, divided
- In a medium bowl whisk the egg and sugar together until light and sugar is incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Place cornstarch in a small bowl, stir in 2 Tbsp of the milk, and mix until smooth. Whisk the slurry into the egg mixture and beat until well combined, about 1 minute.
- In a small pan over medium-low setting, heat the milk until bubbles form on edges and steam is rising from the surface, but not boiling.
- Whisk about ½ cup of the scalded milk slowly into the egg mixture to temper the eggs. Pour the egg and milk mixture into the pan, whisking into the remaining hot milk. Return the pan to low heat, stirring constantly until mixture begins to thicken and coats the back of a spoon, about 4 minutes—the temperature will reach 170 degrees, but not boiling. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Strain the sauce through a fine whisk and let cool. Cover the surface with plastic wrap to avoid surface film from forming. Serve warm, room temperature, or cold. Serves: 3 – 4

More than 5% of Americans under age 30 say they identify as a gender other than the one they were assigned at birth, according to a new survey published Tuesday.
Approximately 5.1% of adults under 30 are transgender or nonbinary, according to the survey conducted by the Pew Research Center.
Of that figure, 2% identify as a trans man or trans woman, while 3% are nonbinary, meaning they are neither a man nor a woman.
The figures are higher in younger demographics.
In adults younger than 25, 3.1% identify as a trans man or trans woman, compared to 0.5% of those between 25 and 29.
By comparison, 1.6% of those surveyed between 30 and 49 and 0.3% of those 50 and older are trans or nonbinary.
A much higher percentage of Americans say they know someone who is trans or nonbinary. Approximately 44% say they personally know someone who is trans and 20% know someone who is nonbinary.
The percentage of adults who know someone who is transgender is up from 42% in 2021 and 37% in 2017.
Democrats and independents who lean to the left politically were more likely than Republicans and those leaning right to know a transgender person, but that number is rising.
As of June 2021, 48% of Democrats said they knew a trans person, compared with 35% of Republicans. The gap has narrowed to 6 percentage points. As of Tuesday’s research, 48% of Democrats and 42% of Republicans say they know someone who is transgender.

There seems to be a lot to worry about in life given we cannot control everything. But worrying is a HUGE drain of your energy and completely useless so today I am going to offer you a way to stop worrying, or at the very least dramatically reduce it.
Honestly I used to be quite the worrywart. As a little girl, when my parents went out for date night they’d have to call home once every hour to assure me they were okay, because I was so worried something would happen to them. I continued to experience lots of worry into my adulthood until I learned ways to manage it and accept the unknown in my life.
Worry gives us a false sense of control when we are uncertain about someone or something. When faced with the unknown, worrying is often the default habit we slip into as it gives us a way to seemingly deal with whatever our concern is.
In today’s vlog I breakdown worry for you and teach you a technique that you can start using today to transform from worrywart to dream manifestor!
The thing you most need to understand about worry is that it is using your imagination poorly.
We cannot predict anything in the future so as long as your mind is going to jump ahead, make what you are making up good!!
You have so much creative mental energy. Use your imagination in a way that creates the feelings and experiences you desire rather than dread. Be sure to watch the vlog to learn how making “Ideal Scenes” will help you do this.
Instead of thinking your worrisome thoughts, create and think thoughts and affirmations, which support presence and peace. Rather than think “What if I do not get a job?” write down and then redirect your thoughts to, “I am confidently going on job interviews that I am excited about and entertaining multiple offers!”
Worry is fear not love. Your imagination is too creative and expansive to waste on worry. The people in your life are too precious to worry about, send them Loving energy and positive thoughts instead. Your time is too precious to waste on fear-based thoughts.
I want to hear how you are reforming your worrywart! Share your positive affirmations in the comments below.
Christine Hassler has broken down the complex and overwhelming experience of recovering from disappointment into a step-by-step treatment plan in her new book Expectation Hangover. This book reveals the formula for how to process disappointment on the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual levels to immediately ease suffering. Instead of wallowing in regret, self-recrimination, or anger, we can see these experiences as catalysts for profound transformation and doorways that open to possibility. You can find more info on her website, and follow her on Twitter and FB.
