Visiting the Mansfield Covered Bridge
On my way south to Indiana State to cover their senior night I saw a sign for a covered bridge and an old mill. What photographer would not pull off the road for that? I made a shot of the mill with my quadcopter that you can find here, and then I went about exploring the bridge a little. With all of the signage and other nonsense out in front of both entrances to the bridge it did not really work as a photo for me. I want to see a covered bridge looking like it was just a bridge. This one looked like a place to hang signs from that would also let you cross the stream below. I also made a few shots of it from the side with my quadcopter, but being the dead of winter I was not too thrilled with those either. I decided to cross the bridge to see what was on the other side, and that is when I noticed the shot above. As I was packing up to leave from my quadcopter shoot this gentleman showed up to fish. As I was crossing the bridge I saw a scene that looked like it belonged on a wall. It was then that I had the idea to frame the photo that way. I wanted to show just the right amount of the inside of the bridge, but also have the scene outside the bridge be large enough to see clearly. It was something that came to me at the time, and I really like how it turned out.
The Week In Photos
I have been promoting my weekly look back at my photos a lot this week, and that is because I really like some of the photos in there. You can find that post here. This was a fun week for me, and I enjoyed putting the post together. This week is kind of a wild card. It could be an epic week, or it could fall flat. By the time that this post will be live most of that equation will already have been answered. As I sit here typing this I hope that things are already going great, and I have had an amazing week so far.


Trump walks back on threat to skip Asean summit in Manila
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has backed away from a threat to skip a summit with Asean leaders in the Philippines later this year, with the White House now saying he will attend.
In a statement yesterday, the White House said that Mr Trump will visit Manila as part of a bumper Nov 3-14 tour that will also include stops in China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and the US state of Hawaii.
The announcement sets up the likelihood that Mr Trump will meet firebrand Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte.
During a visit to Asean's Jakarta headquarters in April, Vice-President Mike Pence had promised allies - anxious about waning US engagement in the region - that Mr Trump would attend the bloc's summit in Manila this November.
But Mr Trump's souring bromance with host, Mr Duterte, and a range of other issues had briefly thrown a spanner into those plans.
Mr Trump said earlier this month that Mr Duterte had extended an invitation, but that he had not yet decided whether to accept.
"He invited us so we're going to see," Mr Trump said, while announcing he would go to Japan, South Korea, China and, maybe, Vietnam for a regional economic summit.
Philippine officials were surprised by the about-turn and the issue was raised during foreign minister Alan Peter Cayetano's visit to Washington on Wednesday. - AFP

text: Emily and Soren wanted a unique wedding announcement, one with a postcard feel. They weren't finding what they wanted anywhere. So they came to me and asked me to design one for them. I was able to come out with something they loved, and even added in a few nice touches. The stamp in the upper right hand corner of the backside for instance says the date of the wedding, and that it is sent from Bountiful Utah.

Pedostratigraphy of Aeolian Deposition near the Yunxian Man Site on the Hanjiang River Terraces, Yunxian Basin, Central China
Since 2010, we have found stone artifacts at the Houfang and Dishuiyan loess sections on the second terrace of the Hanjiang River and the Wolonggang thick natural loess section on the fifth terrace of the same river near the Xuetangliangzi site.
We dated Dishuiyan and Houfang loess sections by optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and thermally transferred OSL (TT-OSL) methods respectively. Dating results showed that the loess–paleosol deposited on the second Hanjiang River terrace as L1, S1, L2, and S2 in sequence. We dated the Wolonggang loess section by high-resolution paleomagnetostratigraphic analyses.
The Jaramillo subchron was found at this section. Correlating with the central Loess Plateau, we recognized the continuous loess–paleosol sequence from L9 to L15. Investigations showed that loess was continuously deposited on the terraces of the Hanjiang River at Yunxian Basin since at least 1200 ka.

Over the last few days, the combo of rain and fog has made for more tough conditions for the athletes. These moody photos aren’t the typical shots you see from a Winter Paralympic Games! (Another big thanks to Joe Kusumoto for sharing the images.)
But today, Sochi finally got some snow.
According to alpine skier Stephanie Jallen, the course was shaping up: “We suddenly went from spring back to winter. It made it tough that we couldn’t warm up in those conditions, but luckily the race track was pretty good. Especially the second run, the track was amazing.”
Laurie Stephens took bronze in the slalom today, adding to her bronze medals in downhill and super-G earlier in the week. This makes her a 7-time medalist, though it’s her first in slalom.
Fierce and focused on the course, her intensity transforms into a zen-like calm post-race: “Every day is different and all of the conditions are different, you never know what’s going to happen.”
In overall medal count, Russia is dominating, with 47 total (16 gold!) Ukraine follows with 14 medals (3 gold.) The U.S. and Canada rank next with 8 medals each. While Canada has already won 2 gold, Team USA is still in search of its first gold medal.

Prostitutes Wescoe CA12, Cumbria
When understood for its bustling harbor and large, intricate canals that networked through the grand city, extravagance had constantly been the piece de resistance of Lumière. Concealed underneath the surface of relatively calm waters was a detailed underworld, a shadowed market that survived on hushed whispers, urban legends, and discrete winks. At the heart of this world was The Veiled Girl, a brothel that not only used pleasure but also whispered tricks and shared stories of intrigue and unique companionships.
Behind the door of the ornate establishment concealed countless stories; of laughter, of heartbreak, of solitude, and long-lost connections, an anthology of the most human of all experiences.
Within the hallowed halls of The Veiled Lady, dwelt a tale of a guy named Reese. Reese was a merchant, taking a trip the world, seeking great products and the adventure of discovery. The life of a wanderer can frequently feel separated, and it was on such lonesome nights that Reese often discovered his way to The Veiled Lady. Here, he would discover solace in the company of the escorts, striking friendships as he basked in the raw honesty of their shared area.
One of these buddies was Aria, a female whose appeal equaled the sensational sundowns of Lumière's canals. What struck Reese the most was her unshakeable self-reliance and the thoughtful knowledge in her words. She would frequently mesmerize her clients with stories and music, moving their inmost desires and feeding their most extensive dreams.
Week after week, Reese found his anticipation growing. In spite of the intrigue of far-off lands and the adventure of discovering new treasures, the true attraction of returning to Lumière turned out to be Aria and her mystical world.
One evening, Reese showed up at The Veiled Girl, his heart filled with yearning. He was ready to share his world with Aria. He wanted her, not just for a taken moment, but for a life time. He was, however, knowledgeable about the natural repercussions of his intent-- this was not a love story in its conventional sense. It was a story formed by nights of enthusiasm, soaked in intrigue and anchored by a distinct bond, formed within the warm embrace of the brothel's walls.
He approached Aria's doorway with unpredictability, choosing to share his feelings. Listening to his sincere confessions, Aria was confused, slightly shocked, but there was likewise a sense of yearning. No one had actually ever seen her beyond the attraction of her profession. Reese was the first, the man who sought her heart instead of just her business.
Nevertheless, she knew their world was not forgiving. Love was an alien idea, a high-end they scarcely had the privilege to welcome. Bound by the shackles of their individual lives, they needed to treasure their stolen minutes, finding love and comfort in the soft whispers shared in the dim light of her chamber.
As the realities unfolded and unpredictabilities flourished, this unexpected connection revealed itself to be the most beautiful cliffhanger in their extremely unexpected narrative. Reese and Aria, 2 people who discovered each other in the most unknown of scenarios, ended up discovering an inexplicable bond that was as ambiguous as it was intoxicating.
The Veiled Lady, a testament to human desires and connections, hence stood as a solemn witness to their unique friendship. It was their sanctuary, a location where they discovered comfort, enjoyment, and an unforeseen glimpse of love.
Their story remains etched in the walls of The Veiled Girl, a testament to the paradox of love born within the thrumming heart of Lumière's enjoyment quarters-- a love sweet and envigorating, yet usually haunted by the specter of lots of whispered bye-byes. The satisfaction, the laughter, the shared glances, and stolen kisses-- they all added to the art of memorable satisfaction, and in the end, exposed a tale of unanticipated love and longing in the least anticipated place.
At the heart of this world was The Veiled Woman, a brothel that not just offered enjoyment but also whispered tricks and shared stories of intrigue and distinct friendships.
Within the hallowed halls of The Veiled Woman, dwelt a tale of a male called Reese. The life of a wanderer can often feel isolated, and it was on such lonesome nights that Reese typically found his method to The Veiled Lady. One evening, Reese turned up at The Veiled Woman, his heart filled with yearning. Bound by the shackles of their private lives, they had to treasure their stolen minutes, finding love and convenience in the soft whispers shared in the dim light of her chamber.

Adding vines on pergolas is a great way of providing shelter, privacy and shade on patios, porches or garden. The vertical greenery also add spectacular ambience that enhance aesthetic value of these outdoor spaces. While there are many different types of climbing plants, let us delve on best fast growing vines for pergolas, arbors and trellis.
1. Climbing Rose
Roses come in varieties of colors including white, peach, yellow, pink, red, lavender, orange and ivory among others. These sweet smelling flowers can grow 40 feet or more depending on the species. Roses are favorite among most gardeners as they portray a special sense of love, happiness, nostalgia and tranquility.
Climbing varieties of roses are aggressive and thus the best for covering pergolas and arbors. They can be planted in containers or bare-root. Spring is the best time to grow your roses, watering and fertilizing regularly will make them to grow faster. Roses require pruning as a way of making them grow dense look decent.
Bougainvillea has vibrant colorful bracts that come in various shades of red, pink, white, orange, white and yellow. The shrub can be grown as groundcover on slopes, next to buildings as wall covering, as a flower in containers and mostly as a climbing plant on pergolas and arbors.
Most varieties of bougainvillea grow 20 to 30 feet tall. Bougainvillea thrives in full sun and the best time to plant is in spring or early summer to allow its roots to get established before cooler weather sets in. The slight acidic soil should be well-drained and on higher ground, as the plant does poorly in water-logged or low areas.
Clematis are beautiful perennial vines with a rich tapestry of color and texture. They can reach a height of 20 feet although they come in a wide range of heights. Their twining stems or clinging stem roots makes them to easily climb over arbors and twist themselves through other plants.
Clematis flowers in late spring, summer or in the fall although the blooming times, flower forms and colors vary. Flower styles include star-like singles, frilly doubles, delicate miniatures and bell-shaped blossoms. Depending on the species, the colors may include white, red, pink, burgundy, lavender, deep purple and even yellow.
These long-lived vines require well drained soil that’s rich and loamy for optimum growth. To make them spread faster, ensure the root is ever in cool zones. Shade from other plants or mulching may help. Clematis require support to grow well, you may also plant it against a wall, with other shrubs or vines or on a free-standing trellis.
Everyone knows honeysuckle for its nectar-filled tubular and sweet scented flowers. Climbing honeysuckle is hardy and heat tolerant plant suitable for pergolas, arbors, trellis and walls. This plant is highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds due to presence of nectar.
With dark green to blue-green leaves, honeysuckle can be grown as either far-reaching vines or arching shrubs. The sweet-smelling flowers can bloom in bright pinks, oranges, yellows or whites with some species having flowers with two colors.
Early spring is the ideal time to grow a climbing honeysuckle after any threat of frost has gone. It should be in a sunny location with well-drained moist soil. Proper watering and training the vine to grow up a pergola, wall or trellis using a plastic tie tape will make it to establish faster. Pruning is not much essential with a climbing honeysuckle.
Grape vines not only add shade to a garden or landscape but also produce nutritious sweet fruits. They are vigorous plants ideal for covering pergolas and arbors. However, location is everything for you to get that natural backyard privacy screen that also give you a privilege to make a wine.
Grapes need full sun ranging from 6 to 8 hours a day. Although they grow in a wide range of soils, proper drainage is mandatory. Tie up the young plants until they are tall enough to hang on their own. Once established, grapes are fast growing vines that may overwhelm a weak structure. Ensure the pergola or trellis are strong enough to support the weight.
6. Passion Flower
This is a fast growing hardy perennial you can have in your garden to offer shade or privacy. A grown passion flower will grow more than 40 feet and attach to the structure or other plants with coiled tendrils.
Passion flower come in varieties of species some with colorful flowers including white, red, pink, purple, yellow, and orange, with different colors at their centers. The flowers are extremely attractive to pollinators including butterflies and after some time some species will bear edible fruits which should only be eaten when ripe.
Passion flowers should be grown in full sun in a well-drained soil. Because they are vines, train them until they grow to a level where they can grab on their own. Although top section of the plant will be killed off during winter, deep mulching would help the plant to shoot back in the spring.
Jasmine is known for its unique tropical smell and pretty blossoms that attract bees and other pollinators. The flowers are white and yellow or cream for some species. Jasmine can be grown and be trained to climb on trellis or your pergola to provide shade and privacy.
Jasmine has bright green, glossy foliage and thrives in full sun to light shade. The evergreen plant requires relatively fertile and well-drained soil. Any time between June and November will be ideal for planting jasmine. Watering and support of the tender plant will make it to establish and spread faster.
8. Bower Vine
This is a fast growing vine that can add color to the landscape all summer with its soft pink, bell-shaped blooms. Further, the lush, evergreen foliage can provide great shade and privacy on patios, porches, walkways and garden.
Bower vine thrives in full sun to partial shade areas. After growing the vine, water adequately to encourage deep roots. Allow the soil to dry between each watering and thereafter spread a thin layer of mulch around the plant to help in conserving moisture. Providing supportive structures and training the vines to climb makes bower plant to establish quickly.
Prune after blooming has ended to keep the climbing in control but don’t cut it down. Applying rich fertilizer in late spring and early fall or for the first two years will make it strong and lush. Once the plant is established, little care will be required.
9. Trumpet Vine
Also known as trumpet creeper, this is a fast growing perennial vine for covering pergolas, arbors walls and other structures. This aggressive climbing plant features trumpet-shaped yellow, orange, or red flowers that attracts hummingbirds.
Trumpet Vine is tolerant to hot and dry conditions and will require sturdy structural support. If uncontrolled, this vine can overwhelm trees, weak structures and even buildings. It requires plenty of space thus plant it away from trees and foundations.
Full sun to partial shade is just fine for a trumpet vine. It does well in almost every soil and watering is only necessary when the plant is showing signs of withering. There is no need for fertilizer as well. This is the only easier way of controlling the aggressive plant. Pruning a trumpet vine is almost impossible. As part of taming the plant, cut it down to ground level early in the spring.
Wisteria is a long-lived vine that blooms in spring and early summer with large, drooping clusters of lilac or bluish-purple flowers. This fast growing vine looks spectacular on pergolas, archway, arbors and trellises. However, this vine is aggressive and know to grow heavy if not controlled.
CAUTION: Wisteria plant contains toxic substances to pets, livestock and even humans when consumed.
Wisteria thrives in full sun to partial shade. The soil should be fertile, moist and well-drained. The aggressive plant should be grown away from your home and other plants. The support structure should be strong enough to support the heavy vine lest it will break.
It is also good to note that, wisteria will take long to bloom. Pruning seems to help in stimulating this plant to bloom and also as a way of controlling it. Do the pruning in late winter and in summer after the flowering.
Growing vines on pergolas and arbors is one of the cheapest patio cover ideas you can implement in your home. Additionally pergola plants come with other benefits that include filtered shade, fresh scent of flowers, and easy maintenance.

Starting from Tuesday, a local wellness centre dedicated to helping residents maintain a healthy mind, body and soul will be running meditation and mindfulness sessions twice weekly for people needing to destress and declutter.
Zenzali will host the sessions on Tuesday mornings from 11am to 12.30pm and on Thursday evenings from 6pm to 7.30pm out of the centre's brand new premises at 1/137 George Street.
Owner Tammie Bowden said the session times have been determined to give leeway to individuals in the local community who may need to work around other commitments.
"The first entry point for holistic wellness [mind, body and soul] is meditation, so these sessions will encourage participants to practice their mindfulness skills and manage any stress," Ms Bowden said.
"With so much stress in the world at the moment, we want to provide an outlet for people to zone out and focus on their own mental and spiritual wellbeing."
We want to provide an outlet for people to zone out and focus on their own mental and spiritual wellbeing.- Tammie Bowden
Ms Bowden said holistic medicine places significant focus on allowing the body to fix itself.
"We'd never advise people against taking medication, but sometimes it can be a fix-all approach, and we want to advocate that medicine extends beyond what you find on the pharmacy shelf," she said.
"But with that said, we don't touch upon what clients are seeing doctors about; these sessions are purely about encouraging a healthy mindset.
"We work with people's energies, because pent-up emotions from trauma or past and present events can cause an energy blockage in your body, which can manifest into physical and mental illnesses, so we're all about releasing those blockages."
Ms Bowden said the sessions have already generated plenty of interest from the local community.
"We're hoping once more people start to attend these sessions, greater awareness will build around the value of holistic medicine," she said.
"There will also be a retreat in early April to help middle-aged ladies [and gentlemen] rediscover their passion and purpose in life, especially those who have just become empty-nesters."

The Northern Territory Government has performed a deft backflip and will now increase funding for a domestic violence victim support service.
Earlier this week, it had announced that it would cut money from the Domestic Violence Legal Service.
The news sparked protests from many organisation, including the North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency (NAAJA).
The Government originally said it could not afford the $165,000 of supplementary funding that had been provided to the service by the previous Labor government.
The decision was reversed after a meeting of Cabinet today, when it was announced that $200,00 would be allocated to the service.
Attorney-General John Elferink says the Government will provide the funding in the short term but wants the Federal Government to help pay for the service by using money from the Stronger Futures program.
"We believe that we can obtain that money and we are prepared to give supplementary income ... until such time as we can get a result out of the feds," he said.


On 18th March, during a ferry flight between Toulouse (south west France) and Paris, along with a number of Air France staff and customers we were able to experience the comfort of the first A319’s brand new cabin. By the summer of 2016, a total of 49 Air France medium-haul aircraft will be refurbished.
Reclaiming Business Class clientèle to its medium-haul network is the new goal Air France has set itself, after attacking that of the long haul. On 27th November, at their company headquarters at Roissy (near Paris), the Chairman and CEO presented the new Business Class cabins seats that will be provided on some of its Airbus A319’s and A320’s from next April.
With the object of attracting its Business Class customers, Air France has unveiled its new seats for that category, which will be progressively installed from June on board its Boeing 777's ! This seat – sorry, "cocoon" - manufactured by Zodiac Aerospace, required four years of development and costs a whopping € 50,000 each !

Ancient Astronaut in Polynesia? The mystery of the island of Nuku Hiva; Original article by Alessandro Brizzi.
Temehea Tohua is the ancestral home of Vaekehu, the last queen of Taiohae. The site is located in Nuku Hiva, the largest island of the Marquesas Islands. This island is unique for its strange statues which some depict Extraterrestrials creatures. There are many who want to unravel the riddle of Temehea Tohua sculptures: they are the fruit of the imagination of Polynesian settlers, or the testimony of an ancient close encounter? No doubt, the original meaning and purpose of a large amount of prehistoric art is beyond our comprehension. Often, what had been considered as the figment of an ancient artist turned out to be an accurate testimony of historical facts. It could also be the case of the enigmatic statues of Temehea Tohua? The amazing statues are located on the island of Nuku Hiva, the largest of the Marquesas in French Polynesia. Europeans have reached the Marquesas only in the last decade of the 16th century, but according to some recent studies, the first settlers arrived from Samoa around 2000 years ago.
Interestingly, the original name of the Marquesas Islands was “Te Fenua` Enata “, which in the southern dialect means” Land of Men “, a name which, according to some scholars wanted to mark a difference with the land inhabited by” foreigners “.And, in fact, some statues on the island of Nuku Hiva seem to represent beings from another world! Certainly, they do not present the appearance of the first human inhabitants of the island. Some sculptures show beings with disproportionately large heads, open mouths and huge eyes; in some cases, there is a weird Disney mix of human traits and Aliens.
Groups of beings seem to wear what to modern eyes seems to have a helmet. Interestingly, in all the representations these beings show a fierce look.
The dating of the statues is uncertain. Some scholars think they can trace the beginning of the 2nd millennium A.D., but it could be much older. Certainly, their origin and their meanings remain an unsolved mystery. Because our ancestors have felt the need to sculpt statues of monstrous beings with large eyes, elongated heads and other terrifying characteristics? Whoever they represent, beings seem to be wearing some kind of dress, like the space suits of modern times.
Are ancient representations strangely dressed priests, the evil spirits to be resisted, or, as claimed by the theorists of the Ancient Astronauts, the testimony of an alien contact occurred thousands of years ago?

Adette Brotz. office. July 26th , 2017.
This is the Skype office from Stockholm, Sweden. It’s located in Munchen brewery and it was a project developed by pS Arkitektur. The office was designed to be used by 100 employees who are focusing on the development of audio and video for the Skype application. The design of the building reflects the company’s philosophy which focuses on functionality but also on the creative part and the fun and attractive side of the design. The architects came up with a playful design for this new office. It’s a space that emphasizes the aspects related to interaction and socialization. The actual working areas are not less playful and fun than the other spaces and this way a feeling of continuity is created. For the interior, the designers used colorful furniture with rounded designs and friendly and fun shapes. Ball-shaped lighting fixture can be seen throughout the office. They are a representation of the company’s logo, the cloud.
This office focuses on the development of audio and video platforms and the custom-made wallpaper reflects this aspect beautifully. They feature images representing headsets or cables and, in the recreational spaces, they feature images of trees. The color palette is very diverse. In fact, each room has its own graphical décor and features a selection of colors and patterns. Given the purpose it was designed for, the office offers excellent acoustic quality and includes a large number of sound-proofed walls.
The desk is made of walnut, which gives it an incredible colour and makes it part of your room furniture in a very elegant way, making the room look more like a living room than an office. The warm brown of the wood is very nicely emphasized and the four leaning legs support the weight perfectly. The laptop work station is expendable, so you can draw it out when working and push it back when you want to have a break and this action is done smoothly thanks to the neat system on the side. The two drawers below are great for storing anything you might need to and also the desk top is perfect for displaying the items you need more like a desk lamp , an organizer or maybe a clock. This amazing piece of furniture is called Astrid – a girl’s name – and it is manufactured by Vermont Wood Studios.
You don’t therefore I’m going to show you by comparison an office renovation with before and after shots, and then see for yourself at what point is your own.So, before renovation the desk didn’t really fit with the interior but it was functional and did its job. The chair also didn’t belong there and judging by its position it wasn’t comfortable either providing a wrong desk position for the body. All the files and office tools were spread around the desk with absolutely no aesthetical sense.

China is, by far, the largest consumer of coal worldwide. In 2011, China accounted for nearly half the coal burned globally, according to data compiled by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. China is also the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases that cause global warming. That’s the bad news.
The good news is that China’s coal usage is “very likely to peak before 2020,” according to a report (PDF) published by the National Bureau of Asian Research (NBR). The author, Li Zhidong, a professor at Nagaoka University of Technology in Japan, examined data from China’s National Bureau of Statistics to find that the country’s appetite for coal is rising at a dramatically slower rate today than a few years ago. In 2011, China’s coal usage jumped 9 percent; last year, it rose only 2 percent.
Several factors are behind the trend. The first is simply that China’s manufacturing sector has slumped, meaning that factories required less additional electricity.
A more lasting factor, however, is that China’s push to expand renewable energy usage has made coal account for a declining share of power generation. In 2010, coal-fired power plants supplied 75.6 percent of China’s electricity; that dipped to 73.3 percent by 2013. Whether or not the economy picks up, the share of coal power is likely to continue to decline. In just the past three years, China has busily installed new dams, windmills, solar panels, and nuclear plants, adding 64 gigawatts of hydropower, 46 Gw of wind power, 15 Gw of solar power, and 4 Gw of nuclear power, according to NBR.


More People Should Watch the Very Best Show on Netflix
It's a near flawless TV show.
Mark SerrelsEditorial Director
Mark Serrels is an award-winning Senior Editorial Director focused on all things culture. He covers TV, movies, anime, video games and whatever weird things are happening on the internet. He especially likes to write about the hardships of being a parent in the age of memes, Minecraft and Fortnite. Definitely don't follow him on Twitter.
Looking for a show that won't let you down? Why not watch Dark? For my money, it's the best show on
From the creators of 1899, Dark is a mind-bending show that deftly combines internal family drama with time travel, it is the rarest of things: a show without a single dip in quality. All three seasons rule in every way imaginable.
Dark, at its core, is a mystery series. Much like Stranger Things -- the show it's most frequently compared to -- Dark's first season focuses almost exclusively on the search for a missing child. But in this show the child hasn't escaped to a parallel universe, but a different time 30 years in the past. Before long Dark is a show that operates across multiple time zones and dimensions.
Dark has everything. It does complex, interweaving plot twists on a level that makes Westworld look like a pretend-clever show for children. It earns these twists by also being a delicately written study of broken familial interrelationships and small-town claustrophobia.
It's a show that juggles the risks that come with time travel narratives with ease. Dark's plot is complex to the point where I make a sport of waiting for it to completely fall apart. I spent three whole seasons waiting for Dark to drop the ball and collapse beneath its own weight, but it didn't.
Probably the worst thing you could say about Dark is that it's pretentious. Unlike other time travel shows like, say, Outlander -- which revels in camp and sort of begs you to watch ironically -- Dark takes itself completely seriously. It's almost unrelenting.
Dark asks you to sincerely care about what's happening on-screen. It infuses its plot with multiple explicit references to Ariadne and the Bible. In most science fiction this would be enough to make my eyes detach from their socket and roll all the way backward into my brain, but Dark earns its delusions of grandeur by actually being good enough to sustain them.
You want to pepper your watertight plot, brought to life via dazzling performances and stellar writing with allusions to Greek mythology and classic literature? Who am I to say no? Go for your life.
Perhaps the best part of Dark is that, unlike other so-called "prestige shows," there's no dip in quality. No "wilderness" seasons like Lost. Or skippable episodes like Stranger Things. Dark doesn't rush towards its conclusion like Game of Thrones, or betray years of character building to service plot. No, it calmly and precisely remains extremely good from start to finish. I can't think of another show like it. At least not on Netflix.
So why the hell is no one talking about it? Why isn't a show of Dark's sustained quality trending on Twitter? Why aren't people getting angry about spoilers or getting into friendship ending debates on Facebook? Dark literally just dropped its stellar concluding season on Netflix and it just feels like no one -- not even Netflix itself -- has even noticed?
Is it because it's "complicated"? Maybe. Dark can be hard to follow and 100% expects its audience to remember intricate details of a sprawling family tree that plays out across multiple different timelines.
Is Dark underpromoted compared to other shows on Netflix? Possibly. I did start watching Dark after the first season of Stranger Things. The show does seem to operate in the shadow of more popular shows in the recommendations.
Is it because it's German? Despite Parasite's win at the Oscars, I reckon subtitles are still a massive barrier. I can absolutely see a big US network buying the license for Dark and producing a (most likely inferior) version of this show using English-speaking actors.
Either way, more people should watch Dark.
I mean it's right there. Three seasons of perfect television, available on a streaming service you most likely already subscribe to. Dark won't disappoint you, or turn to shit like Game of Thrones. It won't end unfinished like Deadwood, or make zero sense like Westworld.
Dark is right there. To be talked about, thought about. To be obsessed over. Do yourself a favor and watch it.

Almost a year ago – in June of 2012 – my husband was introduced to Isagenix, a nutritional program designed to help him shed some unwanted pounds and help him feel better.
You see it had only been a few months since his wife and daughter were diagnosed with Cowden’s Syndrome. Meghan had had knee surgery (her 4th) in February of 2012. I had my mastectomy, with the subsequent DCIS diagnosis, in March, and a hysterectomy in May. By June the stress eating was evident as he just didn’t feel well. We all needed his energy level to stay high. There was certainly no time for our anchor in the storm to get sick or run down.
So, with the guidance of a friend – an Isagenix consumer and “pro” herself, we got him started on a 30 day program designed to help cleanse his body of unwanted toxins. The thirty day program was a breeze for him. He is one of the most determined people I know when he puts his mind to it. It wasn’t long into those 30 days when he started finishing the extra vegetables at dinner, and choosing water over soda. He just FELT better.
The information below is from the Isagenix website.
Nutritional Cleansing unlocks the miracle of the human body
Nutritional Cleansing increases the health benefits you’ll receive from the ancient health practice of cleansing. The herbs, vitamins and minerals that aid cleansing do two things:
- Accelerate the removal of impurities from the body.
- Nourish the body with vital nutrients to rapidly revive health.
A cleansed and revitalized body is stronger, resists illness better, is more efficient and performs at a higher level than one that is filled with impurities. Many people notice an ability to reach and maintain their ideal weight.
So when the thirty days were up, he chose to continue on a maintenance program. He uses the Isagenix for one or two meals a day, and snacks. It fits in with the “on the go” lifestyle of a NYC employee.
And, as he sees fit – he opts to do a “cleanse day” where he drinks a power packed vitamin supplement and lots of water. He eats very little food. And he always feels better when he is done. He knows now that toxins build up in the body, and he knows when its time to let them go.
10 months later he is down a solid 35 pounds and countless inches. No fluctuation greater than about 3 pounds. It is gone for good. The future is wide open, because as soon as his schooling is over – the exercising will begin again, and the remaining 15 pounds he looks to lose I am confident will melt away.
So how does all this have anything to do with “Beating Cowden’s?”
Here’s how I see it.
I haven’t used the Isagenix program, because I have not had a need to lose weight. But, I have learned so much from reading and watching.
Essential to the program is the release of toxins.
This, I know a lot about from being Meghan’s mom. From a young age it was evident toxins were difficult for her body to process. She seemed to hold onto things, food dyes, additives, “extras” in everything she ate. Nothing seemed to agree with her. An almost exclusively organic diet became essential.
We used Epsom Salt baths in the younger years to help clean out what her body couldn’t get rid of.
I learned about biochemisty, and methylation. I learned about Vitamin B12 and its ability to help her get rid of toxins.
So, over the last few weeks and months, when Meghan’s pain level has gotten progressively higher again, it was time for me to reevaluate.
Looking closely at her diet, there wasn’t much to clean up.
I have Dr. Elice looking closely at her blood. 28 vials this week!
But, it occurred to me that stress – life experiences – could be equally toxic. So I started to wonder if the stressful situations in our life were causing a decline in Meghan’s overall health.
This week we changed churches and schools.
I haven’t heard her laugh like this in months.
There is a spark to her smile, and a hope in her eyes.
Her hip still hurts. There is a knot in the side. There are aches and pains – but somehow… she seems just a little less toxic.
Felix is taking the Isagenix – but we have all benefited.

2 thoughts on “No more “Toxic” environments”
Is B12 supposed to help with removal/protection against toxins?
Yes – best to google it, and read for yourself. Don’t want to explain it my way and chance being wrong.

If you are growing plants in baskets there are a few things that you will need to take care of if the plants are to survive.
Obviously you will need to start with the best and healthiest seeds or plants.
It is important that you choose good quality container mix too. There are proprietary hanging basket mixes that you really should use as they have been developed to provide the best growing conditions in these unique situations.
For aesthetics you will probably want to get the basket looking as 'full' as possible so you will be cramming the plants in.
It is best to put the larger plants in the middle of the basket with smaller plants trailing out to the edges and the sides.
The larger the basket the better chance your plants will have to survive and they will also require less maintenance.
As with all plants no matter where they are growing water will be essential and with baskets more care is required than normal.
You can place a water trough between the plants and the liner to maintain a place to hold water that would normally seep through the liner.
In warmer weather you will need to water the plants more often and this is best handled with a long watering wand, which makes reaching the plants easier.
Occasionally, where you have baskets that are easily moved, you can soak the entire basket in a tub of water.
If the basket has been quite dry you will need to soak it until the bubbles stop rising.
Always use quality liquid plant feed to ensure your plants are getting all the nutrients that they require.
To prevent the plants from drying out in the sun and the wind aim to get maximum foliage coverage.
If you take the time to give your basket plants the additional care that they need, you will be rewarded with a pleasant addition to any living area.

Spanish giants playing hardball?
Arsenal transfer target XI: Chelsea, Barca & Liverpool stars show Wenger means BUSINESS this summer
Chelsea aim to sign £130m Real Madrid duo in MAMMOTH spending spree
Manchester United transfer targets
Real Madrid have made an opening bid of just £13m to sign Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea, according to CaughtOffside.
The Spanish giants surely have no hope of landing the 24-year-old for that price, despite him rejecting a new big-money contract to put United under pressure in this summer’s transfer window.
De Gea is now thought to be unsure about moving to the Bernabeu due to the presence of legendary keeper Iker Casillas, and that may be playing into Real’s minds here.
Still, it now looks possible that the Spanish international will not be making the move to La Liga unless it’s on a free next year, with United surely set to ask for closer to £30m for their best player.

President’s embarrassing error during press briefing amended on official transcript.
The White House website had to correct an embarrassing mistake made by President Obama during his press briefing yesterday. The President said that U.S. forces were “training ISIL.”
While the President’s error has been amended on the official transcript the original quote has been left with the addition of the word ‘Iraqi’ which is in brackets after the word ISIL to correct Obama’s mistake.
“with the additional steps I ordered last month, we’re speeding up training of ISIL forces.” he said during his speech.

HCP Inc.'s HCP, -0.67% third-quarter earnings increased 19% as the senior-focused real-estate investment trust's rental revenue continued to increase.
The company also raised its full-year outlook for funds from operations, a key measure of performance for REITs, by a penny. It now expects adjusted FFO of $2.97 to $3.03 a share.
HCP--one of the largest health-care landlords in the U.S. with investments in senior housing, medical offices and skilled nursing properties--has logged increased revenue in recent periods due in part to acquisitions and higher resident fees.
Earlier this month, HCP fired James Flaherty as its chief executive and chairman after a decade at the helm, pointing to a loss in confidence in his leadership style amid a slew of executive turnover. The company named Jones Lang LaSalle Inc. (JLL) executive Lauralee Martin as its new CEO and appointed lead director Michael McKee as non-executive chairman. Ms. Martin has said the company's "5x5" business model, in which it invests in five health care property types through five investment products, will remain the same.
Overall, HCP reported a profit of $233.8 million, or 51 cents a share, up from $196.1 million, or 45 cents a share, a year earlier. Revenue rose 16% to $544 million.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters most recently forecast earnings of 50 cents a share and revenue of $511 million.
Adjusted funds from operations--which exclude certain impairments--improved to 79 cents from 69 cents. Analysts had expected adjusted FFO Of 76 cents a share.
The latest period included severance-related charges of six cents a share.
Rental and related revenue, the largest top-line contributor, jumped 16% to $280.6 million.
Shares closed at $42.85 and were inactive premarket. The stock is off 4.9% over the past three months.

Personalised exercise rehabilitation for people with multiple long term conditions (PERFORM)
It is increasingly being recognised that exercise based rehabilitation for diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, post-myocardial infarction and heart failure do not meet the needs of the growing number of people presenting with multiple long term conditions. The recent NHS long term plan highlighted the urgent need for innovative approaches to address the needs of people with multimorbidity.
The aim of this study is to co-develop a bespoke programme of personalised exercise based rehabilitation for people with multimorbidity and to evaluate its acceptability, clinical effectiveness and cost effectiveness. The project comprises 5 work packages:
- Work package 1 will seek to identify clusters of long term conditions with the greatest need and highest healthcare costs, applying data science approaches to routine data; a systematic review and health economics approaches.
- Work package 2 will work with stakeholders and will integrate, adapt and transform existing cardiac rehabilitation programmes into a novel integrated rehabilitation programme to treat a wide range of people with multiple long term conditions.
- Work package 3 is a feasibility trial to inform the planning of a full scale trial evaluating PERFORM and further develop the intervention and programme theory
- Work package 4 is a full randomised control trial to assess the clinical and cost effectiveness of PERFORM compared to routine care and traditional cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programmes.
- Work package 5 is a study within a trial and will evaluate the use of social media to support trial processes.
This National Institute of Health research funded project will be conducted over 63 months and work begins January 2022.


Researchers have conducted an in-depth analysis of industrial robots in an effort to determine how easy it would be for malicious actors to remotely take control of such machines.
Robots are increasingly present in industrial environments, including in critical sectors, and they are often connected to the outside world, which could make them an easy target for hacker attacks.
On Wednesday, researchers at Trend Micro and the Polytechnic University of Milan released a paper focusing on the cybersecurity risks associated with industrial robots.
During their analysis, experts discovered that a growing number of industrial robots include remote access features designed for monitoring and maintenance. While these features can be useful for operators, they can also introduce serious security risks.
Internet scans conducted using the Shodan, Censys and ZoomEye services showed that some robots are exposed to the Internet via their FTP servers. Experts identified more than two dozen exposed robots in Europe, the United States, East and Southeast Asia, and Australia.
Robots can also be exposed to attacks from the Internet through industrial routers. Researchers discovered more than 80,000 industrial routers, mostly from vendors such as Sierra Wireless (50,000), Moxa (12,000), eWON (6,000) and Westermo (6,000). A majority of these devices are located in the United States, followed by Canada and several European countries.
The problem is that these routers are often misconfigured or affected by vulnerabilities. The security holes identified by experts include outdated software, device information leaks, default credentials or poor authentication, weak transport encryption, and insecure web interfaces.
While the actual robots can cost tens of thousands of dollars and some vendors only provide software and firmware to customers, researchers pointed out that software and firmware is often publicly available, and some manufacturers provide simulators that can be leveraged by hackers to test their attacks.
Researchers described several possible attack scenarios, including ones where the attacker alters the control system or changes calibration to cause the robot to move inaccurately or unexpectedly. An attacker could also tamper with the production logic, manipulate robot status information to trick the operator, and modify the machine’s state.
Robots can be targeted in a wide range of attacks, including to inject faults and microdefects into a product, take control of a machine to cause physical damage or to injure people, cause damage to the production line, and exfiltrate sensitive data. Ransomware attacks are also possible, where the attacker stealthily introduces microdefects in the production chain and then asks for a ransom to reveal which product lots are affected.
Researchers created a setup to demonstrate an actual attack using an IRB140 industrial robot from ABB Robotics:
Trend Micro has notified affected robot and router vendors, but some of them did not seem interested in the company’s findings. The security firm named ABB, eWON and Moxa as the companies that were open to suggestions for making security improvements.
Trend Micro’s research comes shortly after IOActive published a paper describing vulnerabilities in home, business and industrial robots.

I recently had my AC compressor rebuilt and recharged with R12. 4 months later, it is still blowing 37 degree air, so I am happy. This past Saturday I went to a car show which involved about 25 miles at freeway speeds. I turned on the air for the ride home, and things started out great. After about 12 miles, the air became warmer, but continued coming out of the appropriate vents. This went on for the balance of the freeway miles. Once I got back into the city, the AC started blowing cold again.
From reading earlier comments on the same subject in this chapter's forums, I realize this is a vacuum related issue. However, some of my vacuum lines off the back of the intake manifold run to different sources other than what has been pictured on this site. Two of the lines run to a black canister that is mounted below the master cylinder. I have not seen that canister mentioned in any of the descriptions.
What I have is as follows. One T-fitting runs vertically out of the manifold. One hose goes to behind the throttle linkage, the other one running off the T goes to one of the inlets on the canister. There is a second T-fitting at the bottom of the manifold nut. One of the lines goes to the wiring block connector, and the second line at the T goes to the second inlet in the canister.
I also read Jason and Russ' description on a secondary check valve on the insulator board by the steering column. Should I be more concerned with this one, or the vacuum check valve at the manifold?
The canister on the left driver side on the firewall is for cars equipped with vacuum power door locks and/or vacuum power trunk lids. These are both covered in your 1963 Cadillac Shop Manual. The vacuum door lock starts on page 16-22, with a vacuum schematic on page 16-28. The vacuum trunk lid is covered starting on page 16-71 with pictures and descriptions following. So this is one vacuum split off the intake. The other goes to the vacuum throttle check valve. The third line off 2nd Tee goes into the cabin at the forward lamp harness connector.
So you have 3 systems taking vacuum from the intake. Any of these with leaks can affect the other systems and engine performance.
-> Check all connections and make sure no leaks or splits in the rubber hoses or plastic (non original) Tee connectors. If something seems loose at any point, correct then recheck your AC system.
-> you can check the throttle check valve and vacuum tank with a vacuum pump with gauge to make sure they don't leak down. These are inexpensive must have tools for these old cars.
--> If problem continues I would block off the throttle check valve and power trunk/door lock vacuum feed and see if that solves your problem and recheck AC system. If you still have an issue you have narrowed it to AC system.
--> I could keep going but I would first make sure your vacuum connections are tight then and go from there.
On that intake fitting, from the factory your car would have had the 3 nipple fitting like the one on the right in picture below. They came 1, 2 or 3 nipples depending on options.
Thanks Jason! My car is a 34,000 original mile car, with no apparent modifications. It does not have either power door locks or a trunk pull down mechanism. The intake fitting is like the middle 3 in your photo with only two nipples. I guess that doesn't explain the existence of the canister, and what purpose it serves. Would there be any reason for me to attempt to remove the intake fitting from the manifold other than to replace it? I'm nervous about snapping something off.
I do have a vacuum pump in my tool chest, but have limited experience in its operation, so will start with the basics as you have listed them. I'm assuming the car has to be running (producing a vacuum) in order to establish whether there are or are not leaks anywhere in the vacuum system, or does the pump itself create the vacuum and I just watch the gauge for a reduction in vacuum? You can see I'm not a mechanic!
Terry, The problem with rubber hoses and such is usually not miles on the car but just age. The rubber dries out, crack splits, creating vacuum leaks. There is no reason to replace anything if it is in good condition. If the rubber hoses are brittle and they snap off easy I would replace all vacuum hoses using the shop manual as a guide. You can unplug any vacuum device and use the hand pump to create vacuum to test.
Hello Terry, Jason has good points to check and correct if a problem is found. I'll add, you should also check each vacuum actuator with a hand operated vacuum pump to see that all actuators will function and hold a vacuum. That will eliminate the vacuum system as the problem.
If the vacuum system is good and the system is stock and is still using the suction throttling valve located on the exhaust of the evaporator core, the valve may not be properly adjusted or it may not be functioning properly. Be sure the actuator on the valve will hold vacuum. The procedure to adjust the valve is explained in the shop manual. Your symptom sounds like the evaporator coil was freezing up at higher sustained RPM's, then thawing out after lowering them. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your reply and assistance, David. If the suction throttling valve is the one in the rt. front fender by the power antenna, the vacuum hose did have a poor connection and fell off every time I was working in that area. I cut half an inch off the line to create a good seal, and everything worked fine until this episode. I will have to follow the whole line back to its origin to look for other issues, and of course will check it for vacuum as you suggested.

The camera is equally bad. Moving right on the right analog stick will move the camera left, which is immediately counterintuitive, but thankfully there is an option to switch this. Still, there are more than enough times where the camera is stuck behind an object or refuses to move in the direction you want and you're stuck with an awkward angle.
The sound in Major Malfunction is forgettable, suffering from terribly repetitive sound effects. There is a bit of muffled voice acting in exchanges between the private and Sergeant, and it's laughable. It sounds like Charlie Brown's parents being smothered by a pillow and, while not as cute as The Sims, you'll have a good reason to chuckle the first few times you hear it. After that, you'll want to turn it off.
The level design isn't particularly clever, but it is mildly enjoyable to run through a giant house. Still, the short levels and stupid enemy toys combine for terribly repetitive gameplay as you'll basically shoot enemies, do a bit of platforming, shoot some more stupid toys and then the level ends. Queue Charlie Brown's parents, a simple mission briefing, a load screen and then do it all again, 30 times.

Outstanding Pozzoni senior living schemes receive award nominations
15 March 2018
Three innovative senior living schemes designed by Pozzoni Architecture, including Manchester’s Village 135, have been shortlisted at the Pinders Healthcare Design Awards.
Nominated in the Care Village category, Village 135 provides 135 extra care apartments split across two buildings, connected via an enclosed glass footbridge and is widely regarded as a one of a kind development due to its on-site facilities and creative design.
The scheme includes a community hub with a café, hair and beauty salon, roof terrace and guest suites for over-night visitors, amongst other facilities to help encourage community integration and keep residents active and independent.
Village 135 creates the feel of a high-end residential development but benefits from 24-hour access to on-site support. It is also designed to meet Home for Life standards, meaning residents will not have to relocate in the future, should their care needs increase.
