Indigestion on Wall Street
The credit market mess is oh-so sticky…and quite confusing, we must admit. Mainly because we are treading on uncharted territory – the world has never seen anything quite like this credit cycle – and because there are words like ‘securitization’ being thrown around. Who know what that means, anyway?
Luckily for your humble editors, we don’t have to pull out our old, dusty Econ 101 books…we have Dan Amoss, CFA to explain the “labyrinth of credit contracts and derivatives that provides sources of financing that never pass through the door of a traditional bank, know as ‘securitization.'”

Still don’t get it? Keep reading today’s guest essay for the full scoop…
Indigestion on Wall Street
Let’s see what Short Fuse is up to in Los Angeles…
Views from the Fuse:
*** The minutes from the August 7 Fed meeting were released yesterday, showing that Fed heads were feeling a little torn and uncertain about the effect of subprime mortgages on the overall U.S. economy, but expected “a return to normal market conditions” – although it may take a while.
Of course, everything that happened after that is history: Bernanke & Co. cut the discount rate by half a percentage point on August 17…but what they’ll do next is anyone’s guess…and oh, are they guessing.
The majority of those who weigh in on these types of events think that there will be a rate cut (which hasn’t happened since June 2006), but others aren’t so sure. All point to soon-to-be released economic data (on real estate, car sales, etc.), as well as a speech Bernanke is giving tomorrow, to give more clues to what their decision at the September 18 meeting will be.
“Bernanke is stuck between a rock and a hard place,” says Dan Amoss.
“On one hand, he’s worried about ‘inflation expectations’ running rampant, and on the other, he’s worried that a plummeting housing market could threaten the entire banking system. I expect that he’ll promote as much creation of money and credit as he can get away with and hope that the public’s fear of inflation doesn’t return to the extremes it reached in the 1970s.”
Dan has quite a few positions in his Strategic Investment portfolio that gives his readers exposure to a worst-case scenario for housing – and still others to give them exposure to a weakening dollar. It is possible to make money while everyone is losing it, after all…
*** As you know, we have been hard at work on our documentary, which can be best described as a follow-up to our 2005 book, Empire of Debt.
Over the past few weeks, the whole documentary team has been in awe of how much life is imitating art…that is, how much events in the markets, in the housing and the like are fitting in just perfectly with the points we are aiming to make in our film.
While investors are pulling their hair out, we are grinning with glee… finally, one of our main themes – there is no such thing as a free lunch – is right there in front of us, splashed across the pages of the Wall Street Journal, scrolling across the screen on the MSNBC ticker.
We aren’t the only ones reveling in this bittersweet joy: we assume Sir Alan Greenspan is feeling the same way in recent days, as his memoir The Age of Turbulence hits stores on September 17 (the day before the next FOMC meeting).
Greenspan proves the theory that any press is good press: he is being slammed for causing the credit crunch, while other pundits simultaneously assert that Big Al would be acting much more aggressively in favor of the markets than his successor. We think that the buzz surrounding the Maestro will do nothing but push up his book sales…
Enjoy the rest of your day,
The Daily Reckoning
P.S. Interestingly, a little birdy told us that Amazon will be pairing Bill’s latest tome, Mobs, Messiahs and Markets with Greenspan’s memoir in September – how’s that for juxtaposition? Someone at Amazon has a good sense of humor…
Scientists report finding a big hole in the universe. We’re not surprised; we thought something was wrong.
“You don’t want to spend the evening alone, do you?”
The question was put to us by a blond woman, attractive, about 35-years old. The honest answer was ‘no, we’d prefer some company.’ But there are times for truth…and times when lies pay off.
“You are very kind,” we replied, “but no thank you.”
We knew what she was selling. She was standing on the south side of the Arc de Triomphe at 10 PM…waiting for a customer. The companionship she offered would have been very welcome. So would the carnal intimacy, for that matter. But we have our principles.
Yesterday, the Dow fell 280 points and we went to visit our old friend in the Hospital Pitie-Salpetriere. “Mercy Saltpeter” seems like a strange name for a hospital, but that is the fact. The place is a city within the city of Paris, with streets, buildings, parks, courtyards, parking garages and so forth. It is also a very quiet and very pretty place, as there is no traffic to speak of.
“Bill, how are you doing?” said our friend.
“Better than you,” was our reply.
He had lost 20 pounds in the last two weeks…since the cancer was discovered. He looked cadaverous. But he was in a good mood.
“Yes, cancer has been very good for my marriage,” he explained. More tomorrow…
These thoughts and remembrances all flashed through our mind this morning…as we sat in a café near the office.
Reading the paper, we discovered that the Dow has taken a biggish hit yesterday. It is still not clear what the stock market intends to do. We’ll just have to wait to find out.
But anyone who would put money into U.S. stocks, generally, deserves what he gets. Stocks have gone nowhere for the last seven years. That means they are still expensive. The correction that is coming hasn’t yet come. Which means, it hasn’t yet gone either. Our guess is that the next seven years will be even worse than the last seven…as the correction finally does its work.
Our money is still on gold to save the day…at least for those who have turned to the precious metal as a form of wealth insurance. Remember, gold can’t be printed out of thin air – and it will always hold value. And what’s this…the yellow metal is up on weaker dollar sentiment today? Seems like now is as good a time as any to pad your portfolio with gold…
Oh…and here’s an interesting item. Remember, the present economic system is not capitalism…it’s a kind of Marxism for rich people…in which the elite make the profits while the losses are redistributed, shared throughout the entire population like Mao jackets and influenza. The genius of the present system is that it dupes the masses into thinking they are capitalists, making it possible for the speculators and hustlers to offload their risks onto them.
You can see how it works by looking at the mortgage industry. Lenders make a profit by writing mortgages…the mortgages get sold on, repackaged, and bought up by hedge funds, insurance companies, and even pension plans. There are more than a trillion dollars worth of CDOs around and about. No one knows exactly who loses money when they go bust because the downside has been socialized…spread to the masses. In the old days, the banker who provided the mortgage loan would have taken the loss when it went bad. Not today. Now, it’s likely to be a retired teacher in Anaheim…and millions of other make-believe ‘investors’ just like him.
Likewise, the LBO mavens make a fortune in fees. Ultimately, their creations are taken up by the lumpeninvestoriat. Again, the dealmakers and speculators take their profits…and then the risk of inevitable loss – when the stock goes down – is borne by average investors.
And when the speculators get in trouble, the feds rush to their aid with liquidity – more cheap money.
But wait, the problem at the heart of the economic system is not a lack of credit…it’s that too much easy credit has loaded too many people and too many deals with too much debt. More credit just postpones the inevitable loss…which, as we’ve been saying, will not be suffered by the capitalists who caused it…but by the masses.
Barack Obama wrote in the Financial Times recently that it’s time to rescue the masses from their mortgages. He’s got a plan worthy of a leading presidential contender. He says he’ll impose fines on the bad lenders…and give the money to the good voters (oops…we mean, the good homeowners). Just what you’d expect. A safety net for everyone.
The ratio of houses-to-be-sold to those sold, rose to its highest level in 16 years. Foreclosures continue to rise. And now credit card defaults are rising too.
But here’s some good news:
“WASHINGTON (AP) – Five years into a national economic recovery, the share of Americans living in poverty finally dropped.
“The nation’s poverty rate was 12.3 percent in 2006, down from 12.6 percent a year before, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday. Median household income increased slightly, to $48,200.”
Hey, wait a minute. We’ve been reporting that Americans are getting poorer. How could there be fewer poor people? Something is wrong here.
And here it is, in the next paragraph:
“Individual earnings dropped for both men and women in 2006, but more members of each household worked, resulting in the overall increase in household income, said David Johnson, chief of the Census Bureau’s Housing and Household Economic Statistics Division.
“The numbers provided some good economic news at a time when financial markets have been rattled by a slumping housing market. But they were tempered by an increase in the number of Americans without health insurance, from 44.8 million in 2005 to 47 million last year.”
Wait a minute again…how is it good news that people are earning less money…but working harder and longer in order to keep up household income? Here’s a suggestion that will double household income – the Joneses can move in with the Smiths…the Newtons and Smallskys can combine households too. Hey…presto…greater household incomes.
The Daily Reckoning
P.S. Our cook this summer was a woman from Australia. She warned us about kangaroos.
“They’re very sensitive animals…especially the males. One time I was with my children – in town. There was a big male kangaroo in a state of…well, how should I put it…sexual arousal. The kids looked and laughed. The kangaroo didn’t like that. He got very angry…hopped up to me, put his paws on my shoulders and knocked me down.”

NuGEN and Kreatech Ink Agreement to Commercialize Fragmentation and Labeling Module for use with NuGEN’s Ovation™ Amplification Solutions
Complete the form below to unlock access to ALL audio articles.
NuGEN Technologies, Inc. and Kreatech Biotechnology have announced an agreement that will enable NuGEN to market FL-Ovation™ cDNA Fluorescent Modules designed to complement its family of Ovation™ RNA amplification products.
Together, the systems will provide life science researchers with a flexible and sensitive RNA sample preparation workflow for use on Agilent DNA microarrays for gene expression analysis.
The non-exclusive agreement calls for Kreatech to supply components for a NuGEN-validated fragmentation and labeling system for one- and two-color microarray analysis utilizing its patented Universal Linkage System (ULS™) technology for labeling with Cy™3 and Cy™5 mono NHS esters licensed by NuGEN from GE Healthcare.
The NuGEN FL-Ovation™ cDNA Fluorescent Modules, along with the NuGEN Ovation™ RNA amplification family of products will help researchers unlock discoveries hidden within a broad range of samples including FFPE, LCM, blood, saliva, tissue biopsies, and others.
Using as little as picograms of total RNA, NuGEN Ovation Systems allow small, degraded, and challenging RNA samples to be amplified into micrograms of cDNA. The amplified cDNA can be fragmented and labeled for same-day hybridization to Agilent DNA microarrays or used for direct qPCR analysis.
The new module now makes the Ovation family of products available to researchers who use the Agilent platform, enabling detection of extremely low-abundance transcripts, and raising the level of sensitivity for global gene expression analysis.
“With technology from Kreatech and GE Healthcare, NuGEN can now deliver the Ovation RNA amplification system to researchers conducting gene expression analysis on the Agilent platform,” explained Sue Pandey, Ph.D., vice president of commercial operations for NuGEN Technologies.
“Our customers have asked us to deliver an Ovation solution enabling whole genome expression analysis for the Agilent platform—and we’ve created a simple, easy-to-use, yet highly reproducible and sensitive solution based on our proven Ovation technology.”

I was feeling ill, so i went to be early at 6:30pm and I slept right through till nearly 4am (3:38am). Now I normally take my pill at 9pm. As you can see I asm really late taking it. Am I still protected and should I still take it?
You should definitely still continue taking your pills as precribed - this means take the pill you missed now, then take your next pill at its normal time.
Since you are late taking this pill, I'd recomend that you use a backup method if you are going to be sexually active through the rest of this cycle, if you do not already use condoms or something in addition to the minipill.
Because you're only taking one pill late, and because of the way the minipill works, I'm not sure how greaty reduced the effectiveness of it will be; regardless, it's always better to be safe than sorry, especially since with the minipill you do still ovulate.

Our letter on restrictive media credentials in entertainment industry
We are becoming increasingly aware of particularly restrictive credentialing agreements issued to photographers and videographers in the entertainment industry. We hope to better focus attention on this issue by joining 11 other media organizations on the "Open Letter to Performers Regarding Standard Conditions for Photographers Live Appearances Agreements."
We invite you to publish the letter as an op-ed or otherwise include it in your coverage.
One of ASNE's freedom of information issues in recent years has been the credentialing of reporters and photographers who are covering sports and entertainment events. For years, the focus was almost exclusively on pro sports leagues, teams, venues and events, as well as major college conferences. We actively and, to some extent, successfully, held discussions with most of the major sports leagues and the NCAA on coverage issues. Those discussions continue on a regular basis and have created what many consider to be a strong working relationship between the teams/leagues/venues/events and the media; even where issues arise, they are generally dealt with pretty quickly.
Although credentialing agreements themselves are not new to the entertainment industry, we are becoming increasingly aware of particularly restrictive credentialing agreements issued to photographers and videographers in this area, especially in order to cover concerts.
ASNE has been working with other journalism organizations on this issue on a regular basis. We successfully engaged with Taylor Swift in the face of some troubling restrictions issued to photographers seeking to cover her "1989" tour earlier this year, which resulted in modification of her credentials for that tour. However, we haven't been so lucky in other instances. For instance, credentials issued by the Foo Fighters and Janet Jackson have had very restrictive provisions. Among the provisions found in these and other credentials issued to reporters this year are:
- Permission to photograph during only 30 seconds during the first and second songs only
- Demands for co-ownership of all photos or videos taken and in some instances, demanding that the artist or his or her management company own the photos or videos outright
- Reserving the right for the artist to use photos or videos for his or her commercial purposes but denying a similar right to the photographer
- Attempting to play editor by demanding a right of pre-approval of all photos or videos before publication in print or online.
We are not telling you to refuse to sign these credentials or create some other type of industry-wide boycott. This is a decision you must make for yourselves, especially as it often comes down to a choice between signing the agreement or not covering the event in question. Instead, we hope to make your decision a better-informed one.
That's actually a goal we've been striving to achieve for years. We're trying something new. We hope to better focus attention on this issue by joining 11 other media organizations on the "Open Letter to Performers Regarding Standard Conditions for Photographers Live Appearances Agreements."
We also hope to educate not only ASNE members, but also performing artists and the public about the impact of these restrictive agreements. We invite you to publish the letter as an op-ed from the 12 organizations or otherwise include it in your coverage.
At a minimum, we hope you'll read the letter and think about the credentials you'll be asked to sign in the future from a new perspective. Know that you're probably not the only one struggling with this issue. Contact ASNE legal counsel Kevin M. Goldberg at email@example.com or 703-812-0462 if you have any questions about these issues.

Why is Marbury v Madison such an important case in Constitutional law?
The 1803 case Marbury v. Madison is one of the landmark decisions under John Marshall because it established the power of the judicial branch with the principle that the Supreme Court may declare an act of Congress void if it is inconsistent with the United States Constitution. This means the Court has the power to decide which laws are constitutional in what is known a judicial review.
Here is the history of this case:
The outgoing President, John Adams, who was anxious about losing positions from his political party, nominated forty-two judges prior to his leaving office so that his party's majority could out-rule the incoming President, Thomas Jefferson. One of the nominated judges was William Marbury.
When the last-minute commissions were not completely processed before Adams left office, Marbury was simply appointed as a judge. When Jefferson came into office, the judges' positions were reduced in number, leading Marbury to lose his job as part of this reduction. Marbury then submitted a grievance, asking the new Secretary of State, James Madison, to award him his position as justice of the peace for Washington County in the District of Columbia. When Madison denied Marbury his position in the court, Marbury subsequently petitioned for a writ of mandamus compelling delivery of the commissions.
Writing for a unanimous court, Chief Justice John Marshall thought that Secretary of State Madison was wrong for having denied Marbury his position; however, according to the U.S. Constitution, Marshall wrote, the Supreme Court did not have the power to issue such writs of mandamus.
Marshall determined that Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789—authorizing the Supreme Court to issue writs to government officials—was unconstitutional because it was an extension of judiciary power into the realm of the executive.
Since the judiciary’s first responsibility is to uphold the Constitution at all times, Marshall wrote that if two laws conflict, the court bears responsibility for deciding which law applies in any given case. This decision in Marbury v. Madison, then, established what is known as judicial review. That is, the Supreme Court has the power to decide which laws are constitutional. In establishing judicial review, the decision of Marbury v. Madison has had a profound impact on American history.
Marbury v. Madison is important because this was the case in which the Supreme Court of the United States declared that it had the power of judicial review.
The Constitution says that it is the supreme law of the land. No law may be passed that violates the Constitution. But who gets to decide which laws violate the Constitution? The Constitution does not say. In this case, the Supreme Court decided that they are the ones who get to decide on this issue (this is what “judicial review” means). So, this case is important because it led to the establishment of one of the most important parts of our political system.
Marbury V. Madison, 1803 was a case that established the principle of Judicial Review. Judicial Review gave the supreme court the authority to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional. It was one of the series of landmark decisions of John Marshall that strengthened the federal government.

In connection with my desire to fully keep up with the J-pop industry, I’m planning to do a weekly round-up of any new releases that have caught my ear. Some of these may have been covered on the blog already, but my hope is that this will become a one-stop shop for anyone interested in what’s new in J-pop.
With that in mind, here’s where you come in: I’m one person with one set of musical preferences, so please embed any other new J-pop tracks you’ve enjoyed in the comments so we can get a fuller spectrum each week.
*And just like I do with my reviews, I’ll wait until full versions of songs are available before posting them in this round-up. This will mostly apply to Johnny’s groups, who still limit the majority of their YouTube uploads to shorter, edited versions.
2023 Index: Feb 1 – Feb 18 // Feb 19 – 25
THIS WEEK: February 26 – March 3
Beyooooonds! – Yume Sae Egakenai Yozora ni wa
I LOVE Beyooooonds’ The Japanese DNA from 2019 and keep waiting for them to replicate that sound. The punchy 80’s synths that frame this track nearly do it, but overall the song doesn’t really work for me.
Chemistry x Da-iCE – Sparrows
A fairly dull mid-tempo/ballad, but this pairing deserves attention. There’s a lot of talent packed into this track.
ExWHYZ – Secret Secret (b-side of the week!)
ExWHYZ re-released their 2022 debut album with additional vocals from member midoriko who had been on hiatus. I still think most of the album is a bit undercooked, but there are a couple of tracks composed by production team Jazzin’ Park (one of my favorites). This includes new song Secret Secret, which is easily my favorite ExWHYZ track yet. It’s funky, high-octane girl group pop and I hope they promote it with an mv!
Johnny’s West – Power (Album)
Johnny’s West’s new album came out this week and it’s a mixed bag. But at over twenty tracks, it’s a very big bag so there’s a lot to choose from. The title track is mid-grade Johnny’s West: super enjoyable but nothing revelatory. Among the album tracks, I love the pummeling rock of Strike A Blow, the retro dance of Rewind It Back, and the anthemic Guilty. That last one was composed by Bias List favorite Takuya Watanabe, who also wrote Sexy Zone’s Run (Guilty is very much in the same vein).
NiziU – Paradise
NiziU never really caught on for me, from both a song and execution standpoint. This new one is pretty subdued. It’s nice, but not something I’m drawn to. I like the video, though.
Secret Number – Like It Like It
Boilerplate “K-pop goes J-pop” without much that stands out to me. I’m still waiting for something as good as Got That Boom again!
SG5 – Firetruck
I don’t like this at all, but I thought others might. And since they’re co-managed by LDH, SG5 at least deserve a mention.
Snow Man – W (single of the week!)
I wrote about this here. I liked it a lot!
STU48 – Iki wo Suru Kokoro
These 48/46 girl groups pull off this specific style so well. I really love the melodies on this one and the orchestral swell that pushes them along. The sound captures a feeling of prancing through a meadow in spring (not that I’d know how that feels! …Or would I?).
SUPER★DRAGON – Mirror (Album)
SUPER★DRAGON’s new album is out and it’s decent. I’ve grown to enjoy Revolution more than I did last week, but my favorite b-side is probably Pretty Girl. It’s got that lighthearted, punchy power pop energy I tend to enjoy.
The Super Fruit – Sakura Furefure
While I initially found them a bit too cloying, repeated exposure to The Super Fruit’s last single helped me embrace their upbeat energy in spite of myself. Sakura Furefure is a ton of catchy fun as long as you know what you’re getting yourself in for!
This week’s old favorite:
Ayumi Hamasaki – Fly High (2000)
I feel like Fly High lives in Boys & Girls‘ immense shadow, but I play it just as often (if not more!). That chorus — with its upstretched notes — is total euphoria.
I hated Firetruck too lol. But I liked Super Dragon’s album
currently im waiting for snow man’s album to release so i can actually listen to it from hikarinoakari
anyway i’ve been taking a massive deep dive in predia’s discography (thanks to you), and i’ve completely fallen head over heels for them. the whole 孤高のダリアにくちづけを album is epic from start to finish!
Yay! Their music is absolutely fantastic 🙂
I recently discovered One OK Rock. I’m loving One Way Ticket and Stand Out Fit In. Their discography is huge, so I’m all ears for other recommendations.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Ooh, I almost got super into One OK Rock a few years ago (still got decently deep in there!). You can’t really go wrong with any of their albums, but Ambitions (the one with One Way Ticket) was the first one I remember cracking open, so I recommend giving that one a go! I liked the duo of Bon Voyage and Bombs Away the most when I first started. I’m not quite as well-versed with their more subdued stuff like the ones you referenced, but Change has fun chromaticism and isn’t quite as intense as some of their other offerings. I’d also recommend Kaimu+Sonzai Shoumei (Kanjo Effect) and C.h.a.o.s.m.y.t.h.+Kimishidai Ressha+Answer is near (Zankyo Reference) as just some general favorites. I’ve heard their stuff from this past year isn’t bad, either, if you wanna try that out! Hope this gives a decent starting point 🙂

Thank you 🙂
I hated Firetruck too. I loved the sailormoon reference though. As regards Superfruit, I love them. Their debut song has been on repeat since time immemorial.
You know what I discovered recently? A singer on Youtube from Indonesia who sings covers in Japanese. They’re quite good, and they’re on Spotify, so I added them to my Kpop/Jpop/Asian pop playlist. I still get a kick out of them when they play. Here’s her channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Rainych

Two of our former CEOs, Harry Cornell and Felix Wright, have always enjoyed and collected fine art, especially works depicting nature and the American West. Many of these original paintings and sculptures line the hallways of our Corporate Office.
We asked the collection curators, Ken Southwick and Ned Mayes from Marketing + Creative, to tell us about their favorites. Here are their Top 5:
1. “Recording the Hunt” by artist Marilyn Bendell
This painting captures the subtle, fire-lit interior of the Indian artist’s teepee in a beautiful, impressionistic style.
The artist, Marilyn Bendell was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of the Arts in 1965. She ran an art school in Longboat Key, Florida, with her husband, artist George Burrows.
2. “Custer’s Last Stand” by artist Joe Grandee
The detail and drama expressed in this emotional painting make it a featured piece of L&P’s collection.
The Western scenes depicted in Joe Grandee’s paintings were inspired by actual events between the 1830s and 1890s. To achieve perfection, he used original artifacts and clothing as models. The Smithsonian has determined that his 5,000-piece collection is one of the largest and most complete in the world.
3. “Crow Fair” by artist Gary Carter
This artist’s bold, painterly style is showcased in this depiction of Indian dancers at a modern-day pow-wow.
Gary Carter became a member of the Cowboy Artists of America in 1982. He was adopted by the Crow Tribe and became a member of the Big Lodge Clan in 1991. As a member of this Native American tribe, he was bestowed the Indian name “Eagle Man.”
4. “Over the Great Sierra Range” by artist Roy Kerswill
L&P’s collection features 28 paintings by artist Roy Kerswill. This particular painting illustrates the extreme struggles faced by the pioneers in hauling their wagons up the cliff to cross the Sierra Mountains.
For six years, the artist traveled along the Oregon-California Trail, painting and researching the land. In 1996, his self-illustrated book, A Pictorial Story of the Oregon-California Trail, was published with the support of L&P’s former CEO, Harry Cornell.
5. “When Blackfeet Pass” by artist Roy Andersen
The dappled light on the Indians, hiding in the trees as another tribe passes by, make this an extraordinary painting.
For thirty years, Anderson lived in New York and Chicago working as an illustrator for National Geographic, Time, and Sports Illustrated. Later in life, he moved west seeking “peace and a place where he could be his own man in both his life and his art.” He was voted into membership of the Cowboy Artists of America in 1989.

Catalina - Fraîche Talent DJ FF#20 & Fèmmme Fraîche Mixtape 003
Back in December, London based Catalina joined our resident Michelle Manetti in the basement of our Twixtmas Fèmmme Fraîche. She first came to our attention after answering a call out, looking for fresh new DJ talent and her mixes blew us away. Seems the people at Smirnoff also felt the same way and she was one of a handful of girls selected to be mentored by some Industry moguls as part of their ‘Equalising Music’ campaign.
Since we love Catalina’s sound so much, we asked her to create a mixtape for us and is the third in our Mixtape series. We caught up with Catalina to find out what she’s been up to since we saw her back in December.
Hi Catalina, thanks for having a chat with us, we’re absolutely loving the mix you've given us, bopping away to it as we speak! So let's start right at the beginning, When did you first start DJing?
I first started DJing when I moved to London, in my first year of university.
What inspired you to take to the decks?
I had never really been exposed to the club scene previously, and it was so exciting to experience new venues and new atmospheres, and I loved the music. I have a friend who DJs and it seemed really exciting. When my housemate got a controller, I asked to play around and got obsessed with downloading new music and just messing around on it. Being behind the decks makes me feel more intellectually stimulated at an event, and engaging with the crowd is a surreal experience that is different every time!
So tell us a little about your journey so far.
I started DJing out in clubs in late 2017, after being involved with the Electronic Music Society at my university for some time. I played a few student nights, mainly Sneak at XOYO. After a few occasional events like this, I was inspired to put on a night in February of 2018. This event was focusing around bridging gaps in the dance music scene, and was promoting gender equality. The event was called “electrogirls” and it was a huge success. However, I don’t think promoting is for me, as it requires a lot of time and patience. But it was great to curate a line-up, organize a venue and promote the night. I’m glad I had that experience because I now know how to spot a good promoter.
I applied to Smirnoff Equalising Music in early 2018 on a whim. This is a campaign to introduce more female-identifying DJs into event line-ups. I was lucky enough to be chosen, and got to have a mentoring session with Honey Dijon. Through this, I was able to play at Printworks in October.
Since then, I have played a few events here and there, including Femmme Fraiche in December. I don’t have any events coming up any time soon, and am focusing more on creating original music.
That's a pretty fine journey so far! So What's been your highlight gig until now?
My highlight gig was playing at Printworks in early October. I had prepared a set previously and was extremely stressed about it, but once I got there, it was completely freeing and felt an ease playing! I had all my closest friends supporting me, and it felt really empowering to be in front of a huge crowd with full creative freedom!
Where would you like to see your DJ career take you?
I would like to get more into production this year, and I will hopefully release some original music soon. I am enjoying DJing but don’t get to do it as much as I would like, and this will hopefully improve soon as well. I would love to have a radio show in the future.
and finally what musical treats can we expect from your mixtape?
My mix is something that I would like to dance to before a night out, at a pre-drinks with my friends. I didn’t go with anything too crazy, but rather tried to compile songs that are staples in my music collection, and always make me happy when I hear them.
Amazing! We'll we're absolutely loving it! So there you have it, press play below and don't forget to follow Catalina on her socials below!

Overview. This is the most difficult trail in Red River Gorge featuring near constant elevation change. While challenging, hiking this trail delivers an amazing tour of the area’s trademark geology of massive rock shelters, beautiful outcroppings, and dazzling boulders. My favorite rock on the planet sits trailside - you’ll know it when you see it.
Rough Trail also provides backpackers with seemingly limitless options for exploration including Gray’s Arch, Hanson’s Point, D. Boon Hut, and much more. With plenty of backcountry campsites along the route - you’re never far from camp - and the trail is rich with water sources all along the way. Ready your pack, pick-up a permit, and get out there!
Trailhead. I hiked this starting from the trailhead on KY-715 that marks the crossover with Swift Camp Creek. This parking lot is typically less crowded than at Martin’s Fork on the opposite end, and if hiking Swift Camp Creek on your trip, this puts your car in the middle where you can leave some resupply to lighten your load. [map]
Trail navigation. The trail is well marked and easy to follow with plenty of blazes and trail signs. The trail can be lost momentarily at a couple of large rock shelters, but a little walking will get you back on track.
Gray’s Arch. A no-brainer addition, Gray’s Arch is just off Rough Trail and a short, steep hike to one of the most famous arches in Kentucky. [more]
Hanson’s Point. Another must-add to your exploration of Rough Trail is the unmarked trail to Hanson’s Point where you’ll enjoy some of the best views in the Red. This adds a few flat miles to the hike and is worth the extra time. There are a number of large campsites along the route for backpackers. [more]
D. Boon Hut. Under what might be the largest rock shelter in the area are remnants of a hut that had “D. Boon'“ carved into it. This is suspected to be carved by Daniel Boone, but who knows. It’s worth adding some mileage to visit, as the rock shelter is beyond impressive. [more]
Swift Camp Creek to Creation Falls. You can double your hiking pleasure by crossing over to Swift Camp Creek and following the trail all the way down to Creation Falls past Rock Bridge. This is much tamer than Rough Trail and can serve to fill out a backpacking weekend in the Gorge. There are a good number of campsites along the creek. [more]
Point-to-Point. If you’re hiking with friends, this makes for a great point-to-point hike. Drop off cars at Martin’s Fork and KY-715 (7.83 trail miles) or go the full Monty by leaving cars at Martin’s Fork and Rock Bridge (16 trail miles).
CAUTION - Cliffs. Be careful to avoid getting too close the edge of cliffs, as this is the leading cause of serious injury and death when hiking in Red River Gorge.
CAUTION - Poisonous snakes. While the gorge is within the range of timber rattlesnakes, copperheads are the most common poisonous snake encountered. Stay alert on the trail, as snakes are commonly found taking in the warmth of the trail. Give them a wide berth or wait for them to move off the trail.
CAUTION - Bears. Black bears are growing in number throughout Daniel Boone National Forest. Be sure to follow bear safety precautions. [Be Bear Aware by US Forest Service]

Dénia is a city south of Valencia, down the beautiful coast, towards Alicante. It makes for a great day trip from Valencia and the nearby city of Xàbia (Jávea) is also worth exploring on the same day, as it's only a half hour away, and there are fantastic roads through the mountains that separate them. We'll tell you more about Xàbia in the next post.
Dénia is about a 90 minute drive from Valencia, depending on whether you take the expensive toll roads or you are happy being cheaper and slightly slower. And I mean slightly, as there is about a 20 minute difference and the toll costs over €9. I always look at these things in terms of how much time I have to work to earn the money I'd spend and see how it balances out. At the moment, I am not being paid because I'm starting my business, so my default Google Maps setting is "avoid tolls" for the foreseeable. (Please support us on Kickstarter btw!)
The route to Dénia is not the most interesting, on or off the toll. There are a few places that are worth looking at along the way and we'll discuss these in later posts.
Dénia is an old city with the main sight being a castle that was built in the 11th and 12th centuries by the Arabic Muslims that once lived there. It costs a couple of euros to get inside the castle walls but it is definitely worth it. You get a fantastic panoramic view of the city and the old stone structures are simply gorgeous. Katie and I went with Shaz and Gaz (Katie's parents) and we had a great family friendly day out. It was lovely to get away from the carnival madness of Fallas that was happening in Valencia at the time.
Besides the castle, there are some boutique shops, interesting alleys, and open squares full of cafes and restaurants to fulfil your shopping and culinary needs. There's also a tunnel that goes under the castle, separating the old town from the new town. It was very cool, literally and figuratively, and it smelt a bit like wee but I can't guarantee that odour will still be there if you decide to visit.
On a separate trip to Dénia we went to see a tower on top of a hill and walked several miles along a hilltop/cliff edge area close to the city. There were some decent views of the coastline and it was an enjoyable way to spend a few hours.
We also saw the port in Dénia, full of fancy boats and restaurants, and it was a great place to hang out, chilling and eating. We watched the ferries that take passengers to/from various destinations, including Ibiza and Mallorca.
If you're not going to drive there, use this site to see your options but do check on easycar.com, as renting a car is VERY cheap in Spain. It's also one of the few transport options that is cheaper the closer to the time you look, as the rental companies' aim is to the shift cars.

Todays car is a 1957 Chevrolet Convertible finished in Larkspur Blue with a Irory vinyl convertible top. The interior is done in light green vinyl and dark green pattern vinyl. The 1957 was the first year that Chevy ever offered a fuel injection engine as an option for $550.00. It was a 283 cu in V-8 rated at 250 horsepower with Duntov cam, solid lifters and fuel injection. Transferring that power through a 2-speed Powerglide transmission and delivering that power to the rear wheels through solid axle with 3.36 t0 1 gear ratio. The 0 to 60 mph time was 9.9 sec estimated. This car is also equipped with power steering and power brakes. While there was 47,562 convertibles built there were only 68 with fuel injection.
This car is owned by Morley and Erika Mendelson. Erika drove the 57 and Morley drove the 1966 Corvette barely visible in the third photo down. The Corvette was featured on my March 3rd post.
Beautiful original / restored car and it is very rare. Ready for the car show circuit and Cars and Coffee.

And the Recipe:
1-1/2 cups non-hydrogenated margarine
1 cup unbleached cane sugar
10 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon vanilla
4-1/2 cups unbleached flour
3/4 cup tapioca flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1. In a large bowl, beat together the margarine, sugar, water, and vanilla until light and creamy. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well to form a smooth dough. Cover and chill for 1 hour or until firm. Divide the dough in half, work with one half at a time, and keep the remaining dough covered.
2. On a floured work surface, roll the dough out to desired thickness (1/8-inch for crispy cookies or 1/4-inch for soft), cut into shapes with a knife or cookie cutters, and carefully transfer the cookies with a spatula to ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. Allow cookies to cool slightly before transferring to a rack to cool completely. Store in an air-tight container.
*For an extra-festive twist, cover the tops of the cookies with melted chocolate and crushed candy canes! (As seen in the photo I did do this. It makes a big difference I think!)
These are tasty cookies. A little cakey, but with the chocolate on top it helps balance out the textures. Mine came out to around 2 ½ dozen I believe but I made them pretty thick and large.
The holidays were great and I enjoyed hosting my sister and her husband at our home and spending time with mine and E’s families. We’re blessed with lots of love to surround ourselves with both blood and friendship linked.
Now it’s onto a new year and some new adventures. I’m looking forward to making this year even better than the last, as is always my goal. Look for a bit of reflection and planning here soon. I’m working on my lists and organizing my thoughts.

Contemporary dance is highly used as a form of artistic expression around the world. It is a dance form that explores various movement principles such as personal expression, breath, travelling through space, putting weight on different body parts, and connecting with the ground and other bodies in the space. In this workshop dancers will explore the technique of contemporary dance in praise and worship through the experience of learning a contemporary dance choreography. The exciting aspect of this physical and expressive workshop is that it will challenge the dancer to let the power and beauty of the Spirit not just move the hands and the feet but the whole body as one glorious offering. This workshop is only suitable for individuals who can bear weight on their knees and hands. The costuming for the workshop presentation will be trousers and a blouse/shirt in the colour schemes of blue, grey and black. Please bring along to the conference.
One of my favourite verses is that last part of Nehemiah 8:10 that states that “…the joy of the Lord is your strength”. Reggae is an energetic dance expression from Jamaica. The workshop will explore movement vocabulary from several Jamaican dance languages. With its groovy beat, rhythmic coordination, and lively social vibes reggae has the power to draw that joy within from the inside out. Come and experience the goodness of God in unshackled praise! The costume will be black trousers and a plain red, green, or yellow top. Bring along a bottle of water too.


EDI in the Automotive Industry
EDI has been in use across the automotive industry for over 40 years. The smooth running of today’s car production lines relies on the seamless exchange of business documents between the car manufacturers and their supply chain.
Many of the business processes used in the manufacturing of today’s cars were developed from a production system devised by Toyota in Japan. Best practices such as Just-In-Time (JIT) and Lean Manufacturing were developed around the ‘Toyota Production System.’ JIT and Lean Manufacturing processes are central to the smooth running of many production lines around the world and EDI provides a fast and efficient way to transfer business documents in order to support these types of manufacturing processes. Providing visibility of inventory levels and notification of when shipments are due to arrive at the production line are critical to making JIT and Lean manufacturing processes a success.
The global nature of the automotive industry means that it is important for car manufacturers to be able to onboard their suppliers as quickly as possible, no matter where they may be based around the World. Many car manufacturers have established a manufacturing presence in Eastern Europe, Brazil and China, for example. It is important to ensure that suppliers located in these regions are able to exchange EDI documents as smoothly as possible. ICT skills across low-cost or emerging markets are traditionally very scarce. Therefore, the car manufacturers must ensure that they can provide simple-to-use EDI tools that enable even the smallest suppliers to trade electronically.
Due to the global nature of the automotive industry, there are numerous communications and document standards in use today, along with a number of regional EDI networks. The structure of the automotive supply chain and a description of the communication protocols and document standards used are described below.
Supply Chain Structure
The automotive industry has a ‘tiered’ supply chain structure, which is best illustrated by way of the diagram shown below. Upstream from the car manufacturer or OEM are the Tier 1 suppliers. These companies will typically supply some of the largest components or sub-systems for the cars, such as a suspension assembly or gearbox. Moving upstream, the Tier 2 suppliers typically provide components to the Tier 1 suppliers and these could be pump units, electric motors or bearing assemblies. Then further upstream you have the Tier 3-x suppliers who will provide the Tier 2 suppliers with anything from brackets, seals through to machined components etc.
As the Tier1 suppliers are the most important to the car manufacturers they will typically have a plant close to the car manufacturers to support Just-In-Time type production processes. Tier2 – x suppliers could be based anywhere in the world and many companies in this particular sector have established a manufacturing presence in low cost countries around the world, for example China and India. In addition to the tiered suppliers, there are also raw material providers, such as the steel manufacturers who will provide sheet products directly to the car manufacturers.
Downstream from the OEMs the third party logistics (3PL) providers will distribute finished vehicles to storage compounds and vehicle distribution hubs located around the world. These will then get shipped to the dealer networks as and when required.
Communication Protocols Used
The automotive industry uses a number of standard communication protocols such as FTP, but in Europe the main communication protocol is use today is OFTP, Odette File Transfer Protocol. OFTP has been used across the European automotive industry since the mid 1980’s and most of the car manufacturers are using this protocol to communicate with their business partner community. With the introduction of the Internet many car manufacturers have been working with the Odette organization to try and bring the OFTP standard up to date and a new release called OFTP v2.0 was introduced to the automotive market in 2010. This new version of OFTP has been designed from the outset to be used across the Internet and it offers secure exchange of documents using encryption and the exchange of digital certificates. OFTP2 also allows large files such as Computer Aided Design (CAD) files to be exchanged with ease. Exchange of CAD files is a common problem within the automotive industry due to the sensitive nature and large size of the files being transferred.
Document Standards Used
In addition to the more traditional EDI documents such as ANSI X12 and EDIFACT, a number of regional standards have been used to support the car manufacturers in Europe. For example, in France the Odette standard is used quite widely among car manufacturers such as PSA Peugeot Citroen and in Germany the VDA organization has written a set of document standards to suit BMW, Daimler AG and VW Group. The use of Web EDI solutions is common across the automotive industry, as it allows small business partners to exchange business documents with the car manufacturers. To discourage the car manufacturers from establishing Web EDI portals, each having a different look and feel, the Odette organization in Europe has developed a standard for how the Web EDI forms should be laid out on a web page. Odette Forms Version 2 is the current standard is use today and Web EDI solution providers typically have to be certified against this forms standard before their solution is homologated by the Odette organization.
The automotive industry is served by a number of industry associations. These associations are tasked with providing standards for how automotive companies exchange information electronically with each other. Due to global expansion in recent years, the industry associations around the world are starting to work more closely with each other to allow the automotive companies to set up new plants and onboard new business partners as quickly as possible.
The automotive industry associations are located in the main manufacturing hubs around the world, for example North America, Europe and Japan. They actively work to get the automotive companies in their respective regions to become members of their associations and to contribute to the various working groups and projects that are undertaken. Typical projects include Materials Management Operations Guideline and Logistics Evaluation (MMOG/LE), OFTP2, Materials Off-Shore Sourcing (MOSS) project. The work of the industry associations provides the ideal environment to beta test these projects before they are deployed in production across the automotive industry.
Some of the main industry associations include Odette which serves the European automotive industry. Within this group the VDA organization serves the requirements of the automotive companies based in Germany and Galia serves the automotive companies in France. The Automotive Industry Action group (AIAG) serves the North American automotive industry and the Japanese Automotive Manufacturers Association (JAMA) serves the Japanese automotive industry.
In addition to the traditional EDI VAN providers, the automotive industry is served by a number of regional private networks. The most popular networks are the American Network eXchange (ANX), European Network eXchange (ENX) and the Japanese Network eXchange (JNX). These networks provide a very secure method of exchanging information across an automotive community. In Europe, for example, ENX is used to provide the quick exchange of engineering design or Computer Aided Design files. Even though the networks were originally developed to service the regional requirements of the automotive companies, their global expansion has meant that there has been a need to provide connectivity to these individual networks. OpenText Business Network provides interconnectivity between the various private networks allowing the automotive companies to exchange information seamlessly across the world.

Liam Williams: ‘I’m still coated in a residue of laddishness, for better or worse’. Having quit standup due to its bearpit blokeishness, the comic is now mining his Yorkshire upbringing for a comedy on modern masculinity
For all of us who remember the beloved 70s, 80s and 90s, let’s take a walk down memory lane to track down some of our favourite Doordarshan anchors and see what they are up to these days: Doordarshan was born as an experimental broadcast in a makeshift studio with a small transmitter in 1959. Six years later, Pratima Puri, India's first female news presenter, presented a five minute news bulletin. Puri, who was born Vidya Rawat in Shimla, started her career with the All India Radio (AIR), before shifting to Doordarshan.
An eagle-eyed 'Game of Thrones' fan thinks they have spotted clues suggesting a major character survived the carnage of the penultimate episode.

Yes, I think this will be very useful as no two people observe and write
note on the same objects at the same time, so anybody could check
rapidly if there is any previous posting to compare.
Maybe the index could be done sending a command to list the directory
(as it seems that each post is a file on the Web, is it?), then the list
could be indexed using a common programa (Word, Excel, etc) and
converting to HTML with another common program (Word 97?). [Only draft

Think of something wonderful, Cinque Terre is more than that!
A Unesco World Heritage site since 1997, Cinque Terre is a collection of medieval seaside villages in the Liguria Region. To be precise, allow me name them as even the sound is absolutely adorable: Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso.
Going to Italy at the end of May is such a treat as you can enjoy some lovely warm weather, have the most amazing vegan ice-cream, smell the sea breeze, listen to the waves and fall in love with a stunning view. And people, what a view! Tiny beautiful villages lightened up in the sun with vivid colours, narrow streets filled with intense activities and folkloristic sounds then flowers. Beautiful flowers everywhere to delight my eyes with pleasure. What stands out from this strip of land is the colour palette under the different lights of the day. You will never have enough of it.
Cinque Terre's unique historical feature are the terraced cliffs used to cultivate grapes and olives. Gardens are pretty lovely too, many roses and wild flowers. Sleeping is not included in the journey as how can you actually miss all this? Too much to see, love, enjoy and breathe. Forget the car as you travel by train, a quite efficient service actually, or on foot.
No stress, just chill and food...well wine too!

I have had a series of both facet block injections and steroid epidurals with my most recent one in August, 2012. I have degenerative disc/spondylolisthesis at L4/5 diagnosed years ago. I am very fit and worked hard most of my life to eat healthy, exercise at an intense level, and keep my weight in normal range. Facet blocks and steroid epidurals will make you gain weight and even though I've continued to exercise and watch my diet throughout my treatments, I have still gained 10-15 lbs.
Some prescriptions like Lyrica will also make you gain wieght very quickly.

This information is freely available at sites like The length of this list, as well as, the comprehensive nature of potential side effects should cause you to think twice about your decision. It may seem harmless at first, but it will have damaging affects on your body that you may not realize for months or years to come.
An epidural steroid injection places this powerful anti-inflammatory medication directly around the spinal nerves. Traditionally epidural injections were administered without any special equipment, by inserting the needle by feel in the area around the spinal nerves. More recently epidural injections have been administered with the aid of imaging tools to allow your physician to see the needle going to the proper location. Either real-time x-ray called fluoroscopy, or CT scan can be used to 'watch' the needle deliver the medication to the proper location.

Unionist paramilitaries target councillors
Death threats against Sinn Féin councillors in Fermanagh have been condemned by Sinn Féin Fermanagh/South Tyrone MP Michelle Gildernew who called on unionist political leaders in the county to challenge those responsible.
“I understand that a group calling itself the ‘Real UVF’ has issued death threats against Sinn Féin councillors in Fermanagh through the local paper, the Fermanagh Herald. Those issuing these threats have nothing to offer our communities and will not deter Sinn Féin from pursing our objectives of Irish Unity,” Michelle Gildernew said.
“These sick threats against a team of councillors who work tirelessly for their constituents in Fermanagh should be condemned by people from across the political spectrum. I challenge unionist representatives to speak out and intervene directly.”
The Fermanagh/South Tyrone MP said there is a responsibility on the political leaders of unionism in Fermanagh to demonstrate that they respect the rights of nationalists and their elected representatives.
Meanwhile, Antrim Sinn Féin Councillor Anne Marie Logue (Crumlin) was informed twice within a week by the PSNI that it has information that unionist paramilitaries “attempted to carry out an action” against her on 29 August.
Councillor Logue said:
“At 2am on Thursday, 28 August, the PSNI called to my home and informed me that they had information that unionist paramilitaries intended to shoot me. They seemed to take the threat seriously enough to sit outside my home throughout the night.
“At 11:30pm this morning, Tuesday, 2 September, the PSNI once more informed me that it had further information that indicated that unionist paramilitaries had ‘attempted to carry out an action’ against me on 29 August.
“The PSNI will not expand on the minimal information that they provided me which seriously limits the protective measures that I can take for myself and my family.
“The question that I would like the PSNI to answer for me is this: are the weapons that these people are intent on shooting me with the same weapons that Assistant Chief Constable Peter Sheridan recently admitted the PSNI know the location of?”
Councillor Logue’s colleague, Mitchel McLaughlin MLA (South Antrim), said:
“Anne Marie Logue is a hard-working councillor who works diligently for all the constituents of Antrim regardless of political or religious persuasion. I call on whoever issued this threat to withdraw it immediately.
“I also call on unionist political leaders to stop playing politics with an IRA that has left the stage and to use their undoubted influence on those within their own constituency who are still in possession of massive arsenals and are intent on using them.”


There have been over 2,000 nuclear explosions all over the world but every other action movies drops one to pack a punch in the movie. Nobody would ever want to experience a nuclear bomb explosion in real life but in movies, they actually seem so cool. Here are top ten movies featuring amazing nuclear bomb scenes.
- The Day After
- The Sum of All Fears
- The Dark Knight Rises
- Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
- The Wolverine
- Independence Day
Have you ever wondered how a nuclear explosion actually created in movies? With movies based on apocalypse theme on rise, it would not be hard to spot a nuclear explosion being featured in every other action movie these days. Movies such as Terminator, the Dark Knight Rises, and the Indiana Jones made use of special effects for showing a nuclear explosion. These effects are most frequently employed in TV shows and movies. Visual effects have made these movies a massive success.
Nuclear Explosions In Movies
Dr. Strangelove has been a bit different when it comes to portraying nuclear explosions. The movie employed military footage as it was hard to incorporate realistic visual effects during the time when the movie was produced. Effects of the kind shown in the movies were well beyond the capabilities during the period. Till date, the typical visual effect employed for rendering nuclear detonation falls short and seems more artificial. Dr. Strangelove featured real footage either during the time of nuclear testing or from any of the military operations conducted.
Nuclear War Movies
Nuclear warheads can smite thousands of people dead within seconds. It would be unlikely that we would have heard the sound of an actual nuclear explosion. As per experts, most films employ stock explosion sound effects. Several movies depicting nuclear explosions are dubbed. Even if they contain an actual recording of the test blast the sound effects are shifted so that the blast wave and the sound wave are simultaneous.
You would barely find any footage that has not been tampered with post-processing. A lot of editing goes into depicting a nuclear explosion in movies whether they are being created with aid of special effects tool or if an actual blast footage is being employed. A lot of work goes into working on video and audio effects to create the magic that the audience is expecting to see on the screen.

How to spot the signs of bullying
Bullying is not trivial and needs to be taken seriously by parents and educators as people who are bullied when they are younger can develop long-term emotional problems. Subtle changes in a child’s behaviour can be early indicators that they are being bullied, giving parents the opportunity to provide support as early as possible.
Bullying is the fourth most common reason for children to use Childline counselling, with 7% of sessions handling concerns about face-to-face or online bullying (Childline, 2018).
Is there a difference between teasing and bullying?
Playful teasing can be a mark of friendship and closeness and doesn’t cause the person being teased any distress. However, when teasing does cause upset and is done in a hostile way, intended to alienate the other person, it becomes bullying.
The definition of bullying according to Bullying UK is: “repeated behaviour which is intended to hurt someone either emotionally or physically, and is often aimed at certain people because of their race, religion, gender or sexual orientation or any other aspect such as appearance or disability. Bullying can take many forms including physical assault, teasing, making threats, name calling or cyberbullying.”
Ten signs of bullying
A change in behaviour could be a sign that a child is being bullied. Below are a few common examples, but remember that you are the expert when it comes to your own child, so it is important to use your judgement as a parent.
- Unexplainable injuries
- Lost or destroyed personal items
- Feeling sick or faking illness
- Changes in eating habits: suddenly skipping meals or binge eating
- Difficulty sleeping or frequent nightmares
- Declining grades, loss of interest in schoolwork
- Reluctance to go to school
- Sudden loss of friends or avoidance of social situations (this can include changes in social media usage)
- Feelings of helplessness or decreased self-esteem
- Self-destructive behaviours such as running away from home, harming themselves, or talking about suicide
What to do if you are concerned your child is being bullied
It’s very difficult to manage your emotions when you find out your child is being bullied – you might lose your temper and want to stride up to the other child/their parent/the headteacher and give them a piece of your mind! But remember that you are an important role model for your child, so remember that they are likely to copy whatever they see you do.
Talking with your child is a key first step to understanding if/how they are being bullied and what can be done to help. Giving them plenty of opportunities to have your attention can encourage your child to share their worries with you – it could be while you’re washing the dishes together, driving to school, walking the dog, etc. Bullying UK has some useful advice on how to have these conversations.
It is a good idea to encourage a family culture of communication generally, so your child can feel confident coming to you for support for any issue they face. Family mealtimes are an important part of this – research has shown multiple benefits of eating together, including fewer high-risk behaviours in teens (e.g. smoking and drinking), and lower rates of depression. Tweens and teens can be more reluctant to talk about their problems, so be willing to listen when they are prepared to do so – even if that means midnight chats when you both have work/school in the morning.
Once you have encouraged your child to open up, there is lots of advice out there for next steps, ranging from reporting it to the school to teaching your child Jiu-Jitsu. What will work for one child won’t work for another, so have a look around and see what approach best fits your child’s situation. When you have found some ideas, discuss them with your child and find out what they would prefer to do about it; this shows them that you are not there to take control but to support and respect them.
Fight vs. flight
One of the big questions around bullying is whether to stand-up to bullies, or walk away. Unfortunately, there isn’t a clear-cut answer as children bully others for different reasons, therefore the wrong method can quickly backfire. We often hear that bullies are looking for a reaction, but if your child walks away or doesn’t respond, this can instead signal to the bully that they are an easy target. Self-defence training as an option to deal with bullies may give your child a way to protect themselves if physically threatened, but this can quickly escalate and they may get injured.
Being bullied can make children feel powerless and alone. While there is no way to ‘bully-proof’ your child, you may be able to prevent it or lessen the impact by focusing on your child’s self-esteem and relationships. Writing out a ‘lifeline’ list of people they can talk to and get more advice from (e.g. friends, teachers, counsellors, helplines) will show your child that they have a trusted network to turn to – these different sources can support them in a variety of ways. Joining an activity club can work wonders too; if your child struggles to make friends in school they make new friends with shared interests, plus having new skills to learn can give your child a great confidence boost.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Do you have any special plans? Dennis and I are finishing up the first cycle in the 17 Day Diet, so our celebration is going to include some very healthy and delicious food, and NO SUGAR. I know, right? Yes, this is still Veronica’s Cornucopia, and yes, I just said I will not be eating sugar on Valentine’s Day, nor serving it to my Valentine. What is the world coming to? ;)
Well, despite us not partaking of any sugar (don’t worry, I do have a stevia-sweetened chocolate treat planned, so we will not be totally deprived), I do have a fabulous sugary treat to share today. I know I’m sharing it a bit late for you to actually make it for the holiday, but I can’t just post another soup recipe–that is just way too unromantic, right? Nope, it’s gotta be chocolate today.
I’ve been making this recipe for years, and in fact, have posted it on my blog before along with two other brownie recipes, but despite the number of times I’ve made it, I never had a decent picture until now. (The brownies always disappeared before I got a chance to give them a photo shoot!) And now that I do, I’m giving these brownies the individual post they deserve.
This is my own creation that I first started making when my sister opened her shop in 2008. I used to sell my baked goods there in the beginning and these babies were best sellers. It didn’t matter what other delicious treats I brought along with them, these always went first. They are oh-so mocha-licious, over-the-top, decadent, rich treats. Apparently you don’t even have to like coffee to love these, because my husband, who shivers at the mention of coffee, goes crazy for these brownies. But if you do like coffee, and chocolate, and like them together, oh boy you gotta make these. Just do it.
Mocha-Frosted Kahlua Brownies
Printable recipe with picture
1 box fudge brownie mix
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, melted
1/4 cup Kahlua (I make my own with this recipe)
2 tablespoons Kahlua
1 tablespoon instant coffee crystals
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 sticks (1 cup) butter, softened
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
Make the brownies: mix up everything, spread in a 9×13 pan (grease the bottom only) and bake at 350 for however long the box says. Don’t overbake unless you like dry brownies. Cool COMPLETELY before frosting.
Make the frosting: Microwave the Kahlua for 30 seconds or until boiling (I use a glass 1-cup measuring cup and fill it 1/2 way to the 1/4 cup line). Stir in the instant coffee until dissolved, and place in the freezer to cool. Melt the chocolate in the microwave for 1 minute, stir and then give it another 30 seconds, stirring again. It should be melted but if not, continue this cycle in 30 second intervals. Be careful not to overheat it. Once smooth, set aside to cool. Cream the butter then beat in the cooled chocolate. Last, add the coffee mixture and beat it until everything is incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl. Spread over the cooled brownies.
Make the ganache: place the chocolate and heavy cream in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 1 minute at 50% power and stir. The mixture should turn dark and shiny but you will probably need to return the bowl to the microwave for another 5-10 seconds or more to get it fully melted together. Be careful not to overheat, just warm it enough to get the chocolate and cream to emulsify completely. If your mixture is warm to the touch, allow to cool to room temperature and then drizzle over the top of the brownies before cutting and serving.
Good for you on the no sugar! I need to check out that 17 day diet, how do you like it?
The brownies look great of course!
I plan to do a review after all 4 phases, but so far I love/hate it. I love how I feel, I mean I haven’t felt this good since I don’t know when. I feel so energetic, positive, clean, and healthy. But this first phase is meat-centric, and since I don’t like meat that much, it is hard for me to find things that won’t make me nauseous to eat. The only carbs in the first phase come from fruit, veggies, and probiotic dairy. I’m looking forward to the second phase where I can have some grains & legumes! :)
Delightful!!! I am drooling.
This looks AWESOME. I bet my Bible study would devour these. THey’ll have to wait though, because I’ve already planned what I’m making for the next month or so! (this Thursday I’m making 2 loaves of your updated buttery beer bread–I’ve been wanting to give that a try)
Stopping by to say Hi, you were mentioned on Eliot’s Eats and I wanted to share some VD love. Kahlua and coffee are my kind of brownies!
I’ve made the brownie part of this recipe about 90 times since you gave it to me. Even though I don’t like sweet stuff all my friends and co-workers love them. I bet they’d love them even moreso this way :) Have a great Valentine’s Day!
oh wow…I can see how these would be a best seller. Pinning right now!
Veronica, wow, these look amazing, yes, you certainly did get lovely photos this time and I am bookmarking this recipe – it would definitely cure a chocolate craving!
Oh my gosh these look amazing! So delicious – YUM!!!
Wow, those look great, Veronica! And I still think you rock on the no sugar thing!
These look amazing, I can’t wait to try! I love it when you can doctor up a boxed brownie mix!
Veronica, these look real fine, I can’t wait to try these out! I’ve bookmarked these to try out later.
