“If I am not in the mood to have sex and my partner wants to, what do I do?”
This is a hard question to answer without any context. If I assumed that your relationship is free of violence and coercion the short answer to your question might be that you should tell your partner you aren’t in the mood to have sex, and see what happens next. Maybe they’ll ask why. Maybe it will start a great conversation.
Maybe after talking (or arguing) you’ll find your mood has changed and you want sex. Maybe at that point they won’t want sex.
But that’s not an assumption I make. We don’t talk about it much (especially not in popular sex education) but many of us are in relationships where there is some sort of violence – sometimes threatened, sometimes carried out – as well as emotional and/or psychological manipulation that leaves us feeling like saying no isn’t something we can do or isn’t something we want to do given the alternative.
Sometimes when we’re in a relationship like this for long enough we can come to feel as if we have consented, or at least that we’re to blame because we haven’t left. Neither of those things is true. Just because you can’t find a way out of a bad situation doesn’t mean you consent to it or that you are to blame for it. Consent isn’t so clear cut (more on that below). And blame isn’t a word that I use when one is on the receiving end of violence or coercion.
Not knowing anything about your relationship means I can’t get very specific, but I really appreciate you taking the time to email and ask the question, it’s a big question, and one that I think all of us have to figure out at some point. So I’m going to offer an answer in general and hope that some of it is useful. You can always email me if you want to get more specific.
What Does “in the Mood” Mean?
A lot of the language we use when we talk about sex is vague (this isn’t surprising given how we all carry some feelings of shame about sex). Being “in the mood” is a good example of this. What exactly does it mean for you to be in the mood? Does it mean that you feel like:
- initiating sex
- having someone initiate sex with you
- being touched, feeling turned on, having an orgasm
- touching your partner, turning them on
- connecting emotionally and physically, communicating, sharing a moment
- a distraction from life, an escape
This list could go on and on. My point is that if “not in the mood” means you don’t want to be sexual with your partner, that’s fine. You don’t need to explain or justify not wanting sex. Saying no (or no thanks) should be enough. But if it’s a relationship you’re committed to and a partner you want to have sex with in the future, it can help a lot if you’re able to unpack what being in the mood means.
In the Mood vs. in the Mood to be in the Mood
One of the drawbacks to being vague in how we talk about sex is that we don’t always make room for our complicated feelings about sex. Here again, mood is a good example.
Not being “in the mood” might mean that you don’t feel like initiating sex and even if you had a partner who was willing to get things started and be attentive to your needs and desires, you just don’t want to go there. We might describe that as not being in the mood to even get in the mood.
On the other hand, not being “in the mood” might mean that you don’t feel like initiating sex and you aren’t feeling sexy, but you’d like to feel that way, and you know there are things your partner could do to help you get in the mood. We might describe that as not being in the mood, but wanting to get there.
This raises a basic question that a surprising few of us take time to consider: do you know what it feels like to want sex? Can you describe what that feels like? Can you identify thoughts and feelings in your body? Do you know the difference, for yourself, between being okay with having sex and really, REALLY wanting it? This isn’t a test, and you aren’t meant to feel good or bad if you can or can’t answer that question. It’s more like a prompt for self-reflection.
Because there’s so much silence around sex these are questions we aren’t encouraged to ask ourselves very often.
In the Mood for What?
In reading your question one of my own questions was: what does it mean when you say your partner wants to have sex? Does having sex always involve the same series of sexual activities? If it does, is it possible that having sex the same way all the time is contributing to you not being in the mood? Again, the reason for you not being in the mood is a secondary point to your question, which is more about how to communicate your mood. But if you’re in a relationship where open and honest communication feels safe, it’s worth thinking about the relationship between your desire for a thing and the thing itself.
Consent & What Your Options Should Be
At the center of your question is the issue of consent. Ideally sex should only happen when everyone involved really wants it to. Any time someone wants to have sex with you, you should be able to answer “yes” or “no” or “ask me again later” or “it depends” with or without an explanation.
Consenting to sex doesn’t always mean saying yes every step of the way. Consent also isn’t the absence of a “no.” Ideally consent means that you’re able to be yourself, as much of yourself as you choose to be, while making decisions around whether or not to have sex, what kind of sex to have, when, and with whom. It means that you feel freedom to consider your options, and make the decision that feels right to you.
Consent & What Your Options Are
As I’ve already hinted, consent isn’t simple. It’s easy to say that if there’s consent sex is good and if there isn’t, sex is bad. But what happens if you don’t feel like you can say no? What happens if you have sex with someone and you don’t really want to, but also you sort of don’t care either way. What happens if you start having sex with someone and it goes from boring to uncomfortable or painful? Did you consent? Didn’t you? And if you didn’t speak up, does that make it your fault?
The answer to the last question is a big NO. If some one forces you or pressures you into having sex and you do, it isn’t your fault, and you aren’t to blame. But all those other questions don’t have such easy answers and the truth is that you’re the one that needs to answer them. What is right for you in your relationship can’t be answered by someone else.
Starting with you then, the question is: when your partner wants sex but you’re not in the mood, what is it that you want to do? How would you like to respond?
The next question is: what gets in the way of you responding how you want? Do you feel pressure? Do you feel guilt? Do you just want to avoid a fight? Some people have started using the term enthusiastic consent as a way of highlighting how consent is active not passive, and that ideally you aren’t just having sex to go along with it, but you enthusiastically want it. It’s the difference between not saying no, and saying YES!
People who use that term point out that in order to consent you need to have at least some sense of what it is you want. If you don’t know what you want, if you don’t feel like you are both capable of and worthy of sexual pleasure, you can’t give enthusiastic consent. It’s an interesting idea (although it doesn’t work for everyone and I only share it as one of many ways of thinking about this).
If you wrote because you are agreeing to sex that you don’t want to be having, then you should know that it’s not right for someone to be either forcing you to have sex or putting you in a position where you feel like you can’t say no. If you are in that situation it isn’t always easy to see your way out. For many people terms like “domestic violence” or “abusive relationship” or “sexual assault” are things that happen to other people. Except they aren’t. They are (unfortunately) part of many of our lives and pretending otherwise doesn’t really help anyone.
If you think you are in a situation like this, there is a lot of help available online and in person. Here’s one place to start learning more about safety in relationships. If that doesn’t feel right and you want some other resource email me and I’ll try and connect you with support or help closer to where you live.
If you wrote this because you are in a relationship where you feel like sex is consensual, but you’re bored or not sure how to say you want something different, or there are differences in sex drive between you and your partner, I hope some of the ideas above sparked new thoughts. It’s easy to find yourself in a pattern (some would say “rut”) in your sexual relationship and the one thing I can say after speaking with thousands of people about their sex lives is that everything can change. And one thing I know is true for all of us is that we deserve to have whatever kind of sex life we want for ourselves.

It Feels So Good When I Stop
A NovelBook - 2009
IT FEELS SO GOOD WHEN I STOP is a hilarious and irreverent debut novel about a modern Everyman struggling to learn how to love, want, choose and commit on his own terms, from the acclaimed singer, songwriter, and front man of cult band The Pernice Brothers. This smart, hip novel is equal parts heart and humor, and Pernice brings to his fiction the same poetic sensibilities that have won him high praise over the course of his career.
It's October 1996 in Cape Cod. Our hero-a narrator so ordinary that he remains nameless-is a talented but floundering musician turned waiter who has high-tailed it out of a volatile day-old marriage in New York and further into his own ever-deepening mess. With no job, no apartment, no wife, and a six pack of beers, it's time for a clean slate. For years he's been dodging life's extremes, stuck somewhere between responsibility and freedom, love and obsession, obligation and desire. Now he's seeking sanctuary at the home his sister abandoned along with her marriage so that he can sort out something in his life-what, he's not quite sure. By turns hilariously irreverent and unpredictably affecting IT FEELS SO GOOD WHEN I STOP is a disarmingly fresh love story and coming of age novel that refracts with pristine clarity what it's like to grow up and fall and stay in love in the real world.

Union Square is an important and historic intersection and surrounding neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City, located where Broadway and the former Bowery Road – now Fourth Avenue – came together in the early 19th century; its name denotes that “here was the union of the two principal thoroughfares of the island” rather than celebrating either the Federal union of the United States or labor unions. Union Square was named a National Historic Landmark in 1997, primarily to honor it as the site of the first Labor Day parade.
It is a popular meeting place, given its central location in Manhattan and its many nearby subway routes. There are many bars and restaurants on the periphery of the square, and the surrounding streets have some of the city’s most renowned restaurants. The park has historically been the start or the end point for many political demonstrations.
The Union Square Partnership (USP), a business improvement district and a local development corporation, was formed in 1984 and became a model for other BIDs in New York City. As of 2006, it had a $1.4 million budget. The Union Square Partnership provides a free public Wi-Fi network in Union Square.

[Boatanchors] magazine collection
rayfrijr at msn.com
Mon Oct 17 01:51:37 EDT 2016
Have a question for the group...
A ham friend of mine recently moved up north into another state. He gave me a bunch of stuff he's collected
over the years, including a LARGE library of ham magazines, some going back to 1953, two years after I was born.
I'm going through a few at a time as I get moments. I've put some of the military manuals up for sale on the
ARC5 mailing list.
Here's my question. Is there much interest out there for the older magazines ... CQ, QST, 73, Ham Radio?
I don't know if I have complete years or not. His daughter and I basically just pulled them off the shelves and
stacked them in the trunk of my car and back seat and I brought them home. Took me two days to get them all
out of my car.. HI HI.
In the case of the 73 magazines, I probably won't hold onto them because I recently bought the whole collection
on CD. But, there may be some of the others where I will hang onto particular issues. Don't know what I will do
with the rest. My local library has a good collection of years worth of QST, so they probably won't go there. Besides
some of them aren't in the best of shape too.
Anyhow .. would be interested in thoughts and input. I've seen some collections put up for sale on here in the
past, but I don't know how that went over and what the results were...

Citroën is poised to reveal an all new environmentally-efficient concept car at the upcoming Paris motor show. Called the Lacoste, the concept reflects its ‘back to essentials' and care-free roots through a minimalistic aesthetic that communicates a no-nonsense approach to motoring.
Designed as an emblem for a state-of-mind and a lifestyle, according to Citroen, the concept is devoid of a roof alluding to freedom, leisure and pleasure. Its high waistline, bulging fenders, short front and rear overhangs and golf ball-style wheels also represent Citroen's vision for turning the current 'always more' mantra on its head, focusing on the essentials that make motoring pleasurable all while retaining the highly sought-after 'premium' quality.
Inside, the simple dash is joined by a steering wheel that recalls that of the 2CV and Mehari, two of the more iconic and fun-loving designs ever created by the French marque. The technology on board also strikes a playful note, underlining the apparent paradox between design expertise and lightness of tone.

The Problems with CEQA – with Chris Carr
March 07, 2022
The California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, is a 50-year-old law responsible for holding up many projects in the state due to its labyrinthian process and its vulnerability to lawsuits.
Across the state, housing developments, schools, hospitals, even bike paths and wildfire mitigation efforts have been stymied by CEQA. Chris Carr, one of the state’s top environmental and land use attorneys, and co-author of PRI’s new study “The CEQA Gauntlet” discusses the problems with CEQA and reforms that will enable the state to safeguard its environment and at the same time grow the economy.

Chronic liver diseases are the fifth most frequent cause of death in the European Union, mostly caused by chronic alcohol abuse or virus hepatitides.
Liver fibrosis, and ultimately liver cirrhosis, is the common end-stage of all chronic liver diseases. This review focusses on established components of Western food, such as Curry, Coffee or Chocolate, in terms of their hepatoprotective effects and discusses the biochemical background of the epidemiological observations.
It hopefully triggers both, motivation and curiosity, to open a new discussion on the future of the pharmacological treatment of chronic liver diseases and on the development of drugs based on natural compounds. Gressner OA. Chronic liver diseases are the fifth most frequent cause of death in the European Union, as they entail multiple risks, such as portal hypertension, ascites, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, hepatorenal and hepatopulmonary syndromes, hepatic encephalopathy and, of course, hepatocellular carcinoma HCC [1,2].
At the beginning of fibrogenesis stands a chronic inflammatory condition. But it is not the virus- or toxin-induced hepatocellular damage that primarily causes tissue-destruction and the formation of granulation tissue, but the activation of immunocompetent cells e. These mediators and the accumulation of potentially toxic free fatty acids generate highly reactive oxygen species ROS , which expose the hepatocyte to an oxidative stress, which, primarily via peroxidation of membrane lipids and DNA damage, leads to hepatocellular injury.
In the meantime, it comes to an activation of mesenchymal cells, resulting in an increased synthesis and interstitial deposition of extracellular matrix components. These mesenchymal cells, hepatic stellate cells HSC , also known as Ito cells, are pericytes found in the perisinusoidal space of the liver also known as the space of Disse.
The major phenotypic changes after activation include proliferation, contractility, fibrogenesis, matrix degradation, chemotaxis, retinoid loss, and white blood cell chemoattraction.
In Europe, most frequent causes of chronic liver failure are of nutritive-toxic origin: chronic alcohol abuse, followed by virus hepatitides. Hereditary causes such as hemochromatosis or Morbus Wilson, autoimmune processes such as primary biliary cirrhosis PBC , primary sclerosing cholangitis PSC or autoimmune hepatitis AIH , metabolic disorders, but also venous obstruction and liver congestion follow—at a distant third, however.
More than 50 percent of all patients with complicated liver cirrhosis die within the first 17 years following diagnosis, mostly from HCC. In more than 90 percent of all cases, the HCC develops within a cirrhotic liver. Therefore, attenuation of the fibrogenic process can significantly lower morbidity.
The daily food intake is the most important exchange of the organism with the environment. Ever since the introduction of the written word about 5, years ago, the application of medicinal herbs prepared in formulas has been documented.
It is only a couple of years that the potential medicinal effects could be convincingly proven by large scale clinical studies. This review presents the current knowledge on hepatoprotective properties of established food components such as curry, coffee, chocolate, garlic, and many more, and presents the history and folk use, the major chemical constituents and proven molecularbiological mechanisms responsible for the beneficial action of these foods in patients with chronic liver disease.
Artichoke: Cynara cardunculus Description: The cardoon Cynara cardunculus , also called the artichoke thistle, cardone, cardoni, carduni or cardi, is a thistle-like plant in the aster family Asteraceae. The wild cardoon is a stout herbaceous perennial plant growing up to 1. The flowers are violet-purple, produced in a large, globose, massively spined capitulum up to 6 cm diameter.
It is adapted to dry climates, occurring wild from Morocco and Portugal east to Libya and Greece and north to France and Croatia. There are two main cultivar groups, the cardoon Cynara cardunculus Cardoon Group , selected for edible leaf stems, and the artichoke Cynara cardunculus Scolymus Group , selected for edible flower buds. They differ from the wild plant in being larger up to 2 m tall , much less spiny, and with thicker leaf stems and larger flowers.
History and Folk Use: Artichokes were already known in ancient Egypt and the Romans considered them a delicacy for the upper class. With the decease of the Roman Empire, the artichoke almost entirely disappeared from the European continent and only returned in the 15th century, when Arabs brought the vegetable back to France, and it is believed that its name derives from the Arabian word al-harsuf.
From France, the artichoke was brought to America. The medico-pharmaceutical tradition of the artichoke could so far only be reconstructed in fragments. Whether the vegetable named skolymus mentioned in Dioskurides Materia medica is an artichoke, could not be finally proven. In the early middle ages, it was apparently known as a medicinal plant named cinara, as references in the Pharmacopoeia of the German abbey of Lorsch suggest, however, further evidences in other books of cloister medicine are entirely lacking.
In the 19th century, the medical value of the artichoke finally slided into obscurity. It was only in the mid-twentieth century, that the idea of the use of this vegetable as medicinal plant was revitalized, when scientists described a cholesterol-lowering effect of its major bioactive compound cynarin, therefore a suitability in the prevention of atherosclerosis.
Functional Components: The main phenolic constituents of the artichoke leaf extract are a variety of mono- and dicaffeoylquinic acids e. However, in vivo not only the genuine extract constituents but also their metabolites may contribute to efficacy. In addition, all parts of the plant contain sesquiterpene lactone cynaropecrin and inulin. A protective effect of cynarin was also observed for D-Galactosamine N D-GalN pretreated primary-cultured mouse and rat hepatocytes.
A study by Gebhardt et al demonstrated that the protective properties of artichoke extracts may mostly be attributed to an enhancement of the antioxidative capacity of the liver. Triggering oxidative stress through application of the two hydroperoxides tert-butylhydroperoxide t-BHP or cumene hydroperoxide to cultured primary rat hepatocytes, this group found that artichoke extracts did not affect the cellular level of the antioxidant glutathione GSH , but diminished the loss of total GSH and the cellular leakage of oxidized glutathione GSSG resulting from exposure to t-BHP.
However, chlorogenic acid and cynarin accounted for only part of the antioxidative principle of the extracts. Addition of artichoke extracts also prevented the hydroperoxide-induced increase of malondialdehyde MDA formation in a concentration-dependent manner when presented simultaneously or prior to the peroxides, as well as hepatocyte necrosis induced by the hydroperoxides. The effective concentrations were well below the cytotoxic levels of the extracts.
Next to its potent antioxidative properties, high-dose aqueous extracts from artichoke leaves were found to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis in primary cultured rat hepatocytes in a dose-dependent manner, most likely through an inhibition at the level of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA HMG-CoA -reductase. Screening of several known constituents of artichoke extracts revealed that cynaroside and particularly its aglycone luteolin were mainly responsible for inhibition.
As expected, artichoke extracts were also observed to significantly lower total serum cholesterol in the rat. Blueberries: Vaccinium spp. Description: Blueberries Vaccinium spp. All Vaccinium species grow as evergreen or deciduous, crawling, spread, standalone or climbing dwarf shrubs, bushes or trees. Characteristic of the species Vaccinium are its egg-shaped to round, fleshy berries, the actual blueberries. Blueberries are primarily native to the northern hemisphere alone 92 subspecies are found in China alone and 25 in North-America, whereas in tropical areas of Asia, Central- or Soutamerica it is only found in alpine areas.
Some subspecies are also found in Africa and on Madagascar. An overview on the hepatoprotective effects of artichoke constituents is given in figure 1. History and Folk Use: The use of blueberries as medicinal plant dates back as far as the 12th century, when German abbess Hildegard von Bingen mentiones their effectiveness in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders.
Proclaimed medicinal use by the Greek doctor Pedanios Dioskurides circa AD could not finally be confirmed. In the Middle Ages and thereafter, blueberries were widely used, especially as folk remedy against diarrhea and abdominal typhus, and again, much propagated by the German botanist and doctor Tabernaemontanus. The species Vaccinium was first named and classified by the Swedish botanist and physician Carl Linnaeus in his work Species Plantarum in .
Functional Components: Anthocyanins, natural pigments which are responsible for the blue colour of the berry, are one of the major flavonoid classes, present in almost all plant species. Due to their particular chemical structure, flavonoids, and in particular anthocyanins, are characterised by an electron deficiency, which makes them very reactive toward ROS, and are consequently considered to be powerful natural antioxidants[20,21].
Blueberries contain the following anthocyanins: malvidin 3-galactoside, delphinidin 3-galactoside, delphinidin 3-arabinoside, petunidin 3-galactoside, petunidin 3-arabinoside, malvidin 3-arabino-side, cyanidin 3-glucoside, cyanidin 3-galactoside, cyanidin 3-arabinoside, delphinidin 3-glucoside, malvidin 3-glucoside, peonidin 3-glucoside, peonidin 3-galactoside, peonidin 3-arabinoside, and peonidin 3-glucoside.
Another important compound of the blueberry is pterostilbene. Pterostilbene is a stilbenoid chemically related to resveratrol and belongs to the group of phytoalexins. It has proven antiinflammatory, antimicrobial in particular: antiviral , antineoplastic, and antioxidant actions by modulating target gene expression and enzyme activity [23,24]. Hepatoprotective Activity: Blueberry extract was shown to have preventive and protective effects both, on CCl4 -induced hepatic fibrosis by reducing hepatocyte injury and on lipid peroxidation, and on D-GalN induced acute hepatitis by reducing activities of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and by improvimg barrier functions and antioxidant activity.
Blueberry extracts have high antioxidant potential and are able to increase phase II enzyme expression and activities. In a study performed by Wang et al with male mice receiving oral blueberry extract it was shown that blueberry treatment significantly increased the expression of NF-E2-related factor-2 NRF2 , hemoxygenase-1, and NAD P H:quinone oxidoreductase NQO1 , which are important antioxidant components in the liver.
Also hepatic SOD superoxide dismutase activities were higher and MDA levels were lower in the mice receiving blueberry extract compared to the control group.
An inhibitory role of procyanidins extracted from the leaves of blueberry V. In line with these results, an interesting study from Japan suggested that the same procyanidins isolated from blueberry leaves could be of potential use as therapeutic agents in patients with hepatitis C virus HCV infection by inhibiting viral replication. The latter is indispensable for HCV subgenome expression in replicon cells. Blueberry products were furthermore found to increase hepatic detoxification and bile production, as hamsters fed high-fat diets supplemented with blueberry pomace byproducts showed an upregulation of hepatic cytochrome p CYP 7A1 expression, and CYP51, suggesting that both bile acid and cholesterol synthesis were increased, so were hepatic GST glutathione S-transferase activities, which are relevant for phase II detoxification processes.
A study published in Carcinogenesis presented data revealing that pterostilbene extracted from blueberries efficiently inhibited invasion, migration and metastasis of human hepatoma cells HepG2 cells by downregulating procarcinogenic O-tetradecanoylphorbol acetate TPA -induced induced matrix metalloproteinase MMP -9 gene expression. In addition, pterostilbene was shown to inhibit TPA-induced vascular endothelial growth factor, and NF-kappaB signaling.
Figure 2 gives a summary on the hepatoprotective mechanisms of the respective blueberry components. Common fig: Ficus carica Description: The Common fig Ficus carica is a deciduous tree belonging to the genus Ficus from the family Moraceae, native to southwest Asia and naturalized in the Mediterranean region and areas bordering from Pakistan to the Iberian Peninsula.
It is growing to heights of up to 6 m in Ficus carica is well known for its fragrant leaves that are large and lobed. The fruit is cm long, with a green skin, sometimes ripening towards purple or brown. History and Folk Use: The history of Ficus carica is long and fascinating. Not only that the Common Figure tree Ficus carica is the first plant cited in the Bible - in Genesis Adam and Eve are described to cover themselves with fig leaves when figuring out that they are naked — evidence of cultivation dates back as far as BC.
Nine subfossil figs of a parthenocarpic type from that time were found in the early Neolithic village Gilgal I in the Jordan Valley, just north of Jericho[34,35]. Beneficial effects of the fruit have been described ever since: Hezekiah, king of Judah between and BC, cured local infections by applying figs to the affected spot Isaiah xxxviii. Appropriately, figs were preferably consumed by Roman athletes and convalescents, thanks to their nutritional value and the easy digestibility.
Fig trees eventually reached North America in about [33, 36]. The Latin designation Ficus carica was introduced by Carl Linnaeus and first published in in his work Species plantarum[18,36].
Functional Components: Figs are one of the major plant sources of calcium and fiber, but are also rich in copper, manganese, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin K, relative to human needs. In one study, a portion of only gram of dried figs two medium sized figs produced a significant increase in plasma antioxidant capacity.
Figure 3 provides a schematic overview of the proposed hepatoprotective action of ficus carica leaf and fruit extracts. Hepatoprotective Activity: Despite its long history in medicinal use, only few reports have investigated the beneficial effects of components of the fig tree on liver pathophysiology so far.
Gond et al extracted dried leaves of Ficus carica using petroleum ether and applied the extract to rats with rifampicin induced toxic liver injury. They observed significant reversal of rifampicin dependent biochemical AST, ALT, total bilirubin , histological and functional changes in those rats receiving the extract. Another study investigated the effect of intraperitoneal applications of either Ficus carica leaf or Ficus carica fruit methanolic extract to rats with CCl4 -induced toxic liver injury.
Not just intraperitoneal, but also oral application of methanolic extract of Ficus carica leaves was evaluated for its hepatoprotective activity in CCl4-induced liver damaged rats by Krishna et al. Coffee: Coffea spp. Description: Coffee Coffea is a plant genus from the Rubiaceae family with about 90 species. Most famous are the mostly plantation grown Arabica Coffea arabica and Robusta Coffea canephora coffees.

EMT Madrid is heavily investing in CNG buses. The board of directors of the Municipal Transport Company of Spanish capital has indeed approved an investment of 138 million euros (USD 161M) for the acquisition, during the next two years, of 460 new CNG buses for the municipal fleet.
Mercedes and Scania won the tender with Citaro NGT (276 units) and N280-CNG (184 units) respectively.
Fleet renewal through CNG buses
It is the largest investment in fleet renewal carried out by EMT in its 70-year history, claims the company. To date, 41 per cent of EMT fleet (1800 buses, 8,8 years of average age) is made of CNG buses.
The purchase of other 460 buses will improve this share. In 2020, according to local government’s plan, all the fleet will be powered by low emissions fuels. The 460 new CNG buses will join the 689 purchased by the municipal company between 2016 and 2018, representing a total of 1,349 buses in just five years, an unprecedented number in the history of EMT.
This means that EMT will have renewed, in the 2016-2020 period, 70 percent of its fleet with an investment effort of close to 350 million euros.
Mercedes and Scania will provide CNG buses
The winning manufacturers of this new bus purchase have been Mercedes and Scania that will supply EMT with their Citaro NGT (276 units) and N280-CNG (184 units) models, respectively. The same pair of manufacturers won a tender in 2017 for 420 CNG buses, with the same bus models (240 Citaro Ngt and 160 Scania N280 CNG).
The 460 buses recently ordered will be delivered half in 2019 and half in 2020. The new vehicles acquired by EMT incorporate the latest technologies in terms of safety, comfort, sustainability, infotainment. Among many other things, these buses have multimedia information screens, wifi connection and USB chargers for mobile devices.
Mercedes Citaro Ngt following 2016′ order
In 2016, Emt already ordered 82 Mercedes Citaro NGT(Natural gas technology). The just mentioned CNG buses were 40 Mercedes Citaro natural-gas-powered articulated buses with a length of 18 metres as well as 42 Mercedes natural-gas-powered rigids with a length of 12 metres.
At the heart of the bus there was the M 936 G natural gas engine (output of 302 hp at 2000 rpm while delivering a peak torque of 1200 Nm consistently from 1200 to 1600 rpm). One year ago, in spring 2017, another order of CNG buses has been placed to Mercedes and Scania: 420 bus in total, 240 Citaro Ngt and 160 Scania N280 CNG.

So many of us read and continue to reread Agatha Christie, the undisputed queen of crime, as she’s been called. But I realised I haven’t read or reread any of her works well, in a very long time. So I’m over due on (a) either finding a book by her I haven’t read (still plenty by the way) and (b) reviewing her here, on the blog. I can probably do a double for 2022 given there’s an Agatha Christie challenge going around on twitter encouraging readers to get back into the Miss Marple or Poirot groove.
So what better time than now to talk Christie and our favourite reads or, in this case, sleuths. Mine being Miss Jean Marple, the irascible and, some would say, nosey old biddy from the tiny village of St. Mary Mead.
I don’t remember the first Christie book I read or, the first Miss Marple I read either, they were both back when I was still stealing books from my sister’s pile to read under the blanket at bedtime. I think I was maybe as young as 8 or 9 when I first read Christie, yes, I know, I didn’t fully understand a lot of what I read at that age, not really. But I still remember wanting to read more.
I think what sealed the deal for me reading more, was also seeing the stalwart actress Margaret Rutherford playing Miss Marple in the movie Murder, She Said. From there on in I became a fan of Marple—I really didn’t click with the character of Poirot till much later when I started seeing the movies and then, subsequent TV series featuring David Suchard who, I think, for me at least, was and is the quintessential Poirot.
Which tells you I’m a visual kind of reader in that once I had a visual of Christie’s characters I could identify with them more. And maybe, I enjoyed the reads more from that point on. I don’t know. I know I probably read more Marple stories too after seeing Joan Hickson play her in the BBC TV series. The actress really nailed who Miss Marple is again, IMHO.
Which all brings me back to reading or rereading Christie in 2022. I might try for 1 book a month (which is eminently doable) and maybe look for one or two of Christie’s stand-alones too for a bit of a challenge.
By the way you too can sign up for the Christie 2022 Challenge and rediscover what made Christie the queen of murder!
So get sleuthing.
Note: Here's the Ms. Marple reading list for you to download.

Big Little Lies finally gave in to satire
The first season of Big Little Lies was a clever trap. The show took what would have otherwise been an easily satirized narrative about affluent women and complicated it with their trauma; The Week's Lili Loofbourow succinctly called it "a kind of double helix of satire and sincerity" in her review. The success of this structure hinged in part on the use of flashbacks and flash-forwards, the withholding of information, and the inclusion of misleading police interviews with gossipy neighbors. By shining a light on the audience's superficial presumptions about the "Monterey Five," Big Little Lies, in the end, proved its own point.
The second season, then, might seem superfluous. We already know the backstory to the murder of Celeste's husband, Perry, and it was long ago revealed that nothing in Monterey is as simple as it seems. No longer needing to twist the viewer's presumptions against them, Big Little Lies has lost the earnestness that helped balance season one. In doing so — and as was especially evident in Sunday's third episode — the series has caved into parodying itself.
That doesn't necessarily mean Big Little Lies is not fun to watch anymore; it is maybe even more so because it surrenders at times into complete fan service, complete with a meme-ready Laura Dern and a mousey and dangerous Meryl Streep. Largely, though, Andrea Arnold — the accomplished English director who took over this season from Jean-Marc Vallée — dispenses with the structural tools of her predecessor save for a handful of flashbacks. Yet even these are returns to scenes that we've already seen and that (at least so far) have revealed nothing new. Instead, Big Little Lies' second season is focused on the central question of if "the lie" is going to catch up to the women involved.
The show's sincerity this time around resides in explorations of PTSD, the guilt associated with escaping domestic violence, and trust between spouses. These are heavy questions, but also quieter ones than those raised in the first season, and their tension plays out primarily in bedside conversations and therapy sessions. Without the backdrop of something as big as a murder mystery, and with all the surprising character reversals now in the rearview mirror, audiences are left with a more straightforward version of the lifestyle porn that the first season had been commenting on. There is less to complicate, say, the multi-million dollar mansions on the ocean, the helicopter parenting, or the privilege of being able to afford a therapist.
The fracturing of this protective shell of "likability," then, opens the characters in the narrative back up to mockery. This is best exemplified by season two's treatment of Renata (Laura Dern), who was written from the beginning to be the most overtly obnoxious of the Monterey Five. Renata was formerly offset by her lack of fulfillment (and friends) despite "having it all" as a woman, balancing both a successful career in a man's world and parenting a young daughter. We see a glimpse of that nuance in the season two premiere, when she rants: "I'm so tired of those shots of women [on magazines]. I mean, they're in power, right? They own banks, and they're all, like, demure. Bulls--t."
But in Big Little Lies' second season, Renata's central conflict has narrowed to the fact that her husband committed fraud, threatening their shared fortune as well as all the hard work Renata put into clawing herself out of poverty. Valid enough, although it's hard to exactly feel, well, much of anything about her desperation, particularly when it's played up to be so ghoulish. Tellingly, Renata dancing to "It's My House," Renata screaming "I will not not be rich" at her husband, and Renata flipping off drivers through her convertible's sunroof all became memes. The show uses her type — desperate and rich — and instead of subverting it again, pushes it for humor.
The exaggeration of archetypes extends to Otter Bay Elementary, where the second grade class is reading Charlotte's Web. But in hippie-dippie Monterey, E. B. White's story of the sacrifices we make for friends is instead taught as a climate change metaphor. During one of the strangest and most hilarious moments in the series to date, the teacher asks the class why "Charlotte didn't want Wilber to get eaten" to which the students intone syllable-by-syllable "su-stain-a-bil-i-ty." The follow up question: "How many gallons of water does it take to make a single pound of sausage?" prompts the response "a thousand," and so on. Understandably, Renata's daughter Amabella has a panic attack over her fear of "the end of the world."
The whole set-up sounds like the premise of a great Onion article, which is maybe not the note you want to be striking on a show that's also trying to confront more serious domestic trials. By leaning into exaggeration this season, though, Big Little Lies has made its more sober elements feel like afterthoughts to jokes about the ridiculousness of Californians and self-absorbed stay-at-home moms.
The first season of Big Little Lies had been smart while also trashy, tragic while also quite funny. The second season, in an attempt to justify its own continued existence, leans harder on its comedic elements at the expense of its protagonists. With the season not yet over (it hasn't been shared in full with critics yet, either), it's hard to say if there is, once again, more than meets the eye in Monterey.

How do you know when to end a relationship? What are the signs you need to let you know that it is time to end a relationship? Well, this is a good question because most people don’t know when to end a relationship they rather suffer in silence and remain unhappy. Knowing when to end a relationship is important for your happiness. You shouldn’t have to stay in relationship you are fed up with.
Relationships do go sour, people lose their feelings or feel uncomfortable in their relationships. Now, it is important you leave when you’re no longer okay in a relationship. However, ending a relationship is not easy especially when you have invested years in it. But it is better to break up than to be unhappy or pretend you love someone when you don’t. So, if you wondering if you should end your relationship or not, then you need to check this list out: HOW TO START A NEW RELATIONSHIP
-Lack of Trust
Nothing kills a relationship faster than lack of trust. When you can’t trust each other, it creates room for doubt and misunderstanding. Trust is an important ingredient for every happy and successful relationship. And when it is no longer there, the relationship crumples. You begin to doubt everything your partner does, which leads to anger, jealousy, possessiveness and other negative feelings. So, if this lack of trust continues to linger, then you need to end the relationship.
-You are not yourself around your partner
If you have to pretend to be someone else around your partner, it’s only a matter of time till you can’t take it anymore. So, if you can’t be yourself then maybe they are not the right person for you. If you feel like you are playing a part or you act different around your partner then there’s definitely something wrong. This is just one glaring sign that the relationship isn’t for you, and you need to end it. https://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-16695/9-signs-its-time-to-end-your-relationship.html
-You are being abused
If your relationship is toxic or you feel negative around your partner then this is a sign that you have to break up. If your partner abuses, disrespects or doesn’t appreciate you then you can’t be happy in such a relationship. So, if you find yourself feeling unhappy or negative when they are around then you should leave the relationship. If it gets to the point where you are physically or emotionally abused, You have no other choice but to leave before it is too late.
-Your energy is not matched
When the love, time, effort and energy you give is not matched by that of your partner. Or you no longer feel loved or happy in your a relationship. Then it is time you end such a relationship so you can find someone else to reciprocate your feelings or love. So, if you feel like you are doing all the work to keep it going or you feel alone. Then your partner does not deserve you and you shouldn’t have to put up with that.
-You don’t see a future with them
When you are in a long-term relationship with someone, you begin to imagine a future with them. The idea of starting a family with them and the desire to share a future with them becomes a part of the relationship. However, when this isn’t the case, then you may just be wasting your time and theirs too. If you can’t imagine yourself with them in the future then it is time to break up and move on.
Now, you have gone through the list, you can decide if you you want to end your relationship or find a way to make it work.

Eight, a cryptocurrency consultancy founded by Michaël van de Poppe in 2018, has uncovered the best altcoins that can benefit from FTX’s demise. According to analysts, recent events are promoting a narrative that is strongly associated with decentralization.
Following the FTX news, leading hardware wallet manufacturer Trezor and Ledger reported skyrocketing and record-breaking sales. This was also accompanied by the trend of massive amounts of Bitcoin (BTC) and ETH (ETH) being withdrawn from exchanges.
As Glassnode reported, Bitcoin investors have withdrawn a historic 106,000 BTC/month to self-custody following the collapse of FTX. This only compares to only three other times: April 2020, November 2020, and June-July 2022.
Following the collapse of FTX, #Bitcoin investors have been withdrawing coins to self-custody at a historic rate of 106k $BTC/month.
This compares with only three other times:
– Apr 2020
– Nov 2020
– June-July 2022https://t.co/92aYVYU4Yt pic.twitter.com/em7CsDBWUf
— glassnode (@glassnode) November 13, 2022
Which Altcoins May Benefit From FTX Collapse?
The altcoin market is often dominated by narratives or special trends. For example, in recent months and years, “Ethereum killers” and layer 2 solutions for Ethereum have been strong trends that have given investors above-average profits.
According to Eight, the new trend for the next few months could be decentralization.
The downfall of FTX promotes a narrative strongly connected to decentralization. Do you know which projects can benefit from this narrative ? 🧵 pic.twitter.com/wQ4zVsh5EO
— Eight (@eight_global) November 17, 2022
In that sense, Eight’s first pick is GMX, a decentralized spot and perpetual exchange that supports low swap fees and trading without price impact.
As the analysts note, the advantage of decentralized exchanges is that traders do not have to deposit their coins on an exchange and are therefore not exposed to the security risks of a centralized exchange.
The GMX token is ranked 87th among all cryptocurrencies and has recorded a strong price increase of about 20% over the last seven days.
In a similar vein is the second recommendation, DYDX. The platform is also a decentralized exchange platform for cryptocurrency margin trading for assets such as BTC, ETH, SOL, DOT and more.
The DYDX token currently ranks 144th by market cap and is even posting a gain of about 30% over the past seven days.
With UNI, Eight lists another decentralized exchange token that it is far from being an insider’s tip anymore. The decentralized exchange made headlines in recent days as the daily trading volume of the ETH/USD pair on Uniswap was 500 million higher than on Coinbase. Uniswap came in 2nd behind Binance.
Another interesting decentralized exchange is PancakeSwap, which is based on the BNB chain and aims to provide a faster and cheaper alternative to Ethereum. CAKE currently ranks 66th, but unlike the others, it has recorded a slight loss over the last seven days.
Lastly, Eight recommends not only decentralized exchanges, but also decentralized wallets. Specifically, we are talking about the Trust Wallet and the SafePal app. The former acts as an intermediary, connecting different blockchains through the use of its nodes.
It has a robust mechanism for sending, receiving and storing multiple cryptocurrencies, and currently supports over a thousand crypto coins.
The TWT token was trading at $1.15 a week ago and has skyrocketed over the past week. At press time, TWT was trading at $2.14.
In conclusion, the analysts said:
These are just some of the projects that represent alternatives to trading and custody services offered by centralized exchanges and witnessed increased rate of attention and user adoption after the bankruptcy of FTX. Therefore, we suggest that you add them on your watchlist!
Polygon Continues To Build Despite Market Turbulence; Here Are Levels To Watch
- MATIC’s price fails to hold amidst market turmoil as the price falls back to its key support zone with a range-bound movement.
- MATIC’s price continues to show strength after a bearish downtrend with the market’s current state, as things look uncertain for most traders and investors.
- MATIC’s price continues to hold $0.75 on the daily timeframes as the price aims for a bounce above the 50 Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
The price of Polygon (MATIC) has been a standout performer in recent weeks rallying from a low of $0.85 to a high of $1.3 before facing rejection due to the current market state that has affected most crypto projects. The crypto market has seen some drastic shift in sentiment, with Polygon (MATIC) and the price of other altcoins battling for survival after the news broke that Binance would not be taking over FTX and the company had gone bankrupt. Previous months saw the price of most altcoins trend higher as many produced gains of over 200%, with many hoping for more recovery bounce. Still, these expectations were cut short by the uncertainty surrounding the crypto market, leading to much fear about where the market is headed. (Data from Binance)
Polygon (MATIC) Price Analysis On The Weekly Chart
The crypto space has seen a lot of turbulence in the last few days, with many altcoins struggling to show strength after losing key support that was holding off price declines.
The current market uncertainty has caused traders and investors to be hesitant to purchase altcoins, as there is no guarantee that they will rise in value any time soon.
The news of other exchanges being in the mix of the FTX saga has raised more fears as many investors and traders shy away from investing in some projects; this can not be said of MATIC, as many investors and traders continue to show so much interest in this project.
MATIC’s price declined to a weekly low of $0.77 before bouncing off this region, showing some great strength to a region of $0.97 as the price aims to break higher. The price of MATIC needs to be above $0.75 to avoid going to a lower region.
Weekly resistance for the price of MATIC – $1.
Weekly support for the price of MATIC – $0.75.
Price Analysis Of MATIC On The Daily (1D) Chart
The price of MATIC remains considerably strong in the daily timeframe as the price trades above $0.8 support after bouncing off from the region of $0.95.
If the price of MATIC breaks above $1, we could see more rallies for MATIC price; a break below a region of $0.75 would lead to more sell-offs for MATIC with a possibility of price trending to a region of $0.6.
Daily resistance for the MATIC price – $1.
Daily support for the MATIC price – $0.75.

Polygon (MATIC) Keeps Shining With Over 12% Gain In Value
MAtPolygon (MATIC), the Ethereum layer-2 protocol, is swimming in gains throughout October. The last seven days alone have seen the coin increase by over 12% and currently sits at a value of $0.941. Polygon is one of the highest-performing coins on CoinMarketCap, with a market cap of just above $8 billion.
Polygon suffered a devastating dip in price this June. However, it has slowly recovered since then, reaching a peak of $1.04 in the middle of August. The MATIC price reached $0.95 on October 26th, close to its August all-time high. This was possible thanks to significant community support, strategic alliances, new product releases, and developer activity.
The coin has now stabilized in price, trading around $0.94 at press time. But this makes it something of an exception in the red crypto market.
MATIC Looks Pretty With Weekly/Monthly Gains
In the past week and month, MATIC has gained more than 12% and 26%, respectively. Polygon’s favourable price performance in this period has been driven by dramatically increased user activity. According to CryptoSlate’s analysis, the number of unique IP addresses on the network has increased significantly, reaching levels not seen since July.
There has been a rise in Polygon’s user base, but this hasn’t resulted in a MATIC sell-off just yet. More and more MATIC is being withdrawn from exchanges, suggesting that users are shifting their attention away from trading. They are now using the tokens on the many dApps and services sprouted on the Polygon platform.
According to CryptoSlate data, the highest exchange outflow for MATIC occurred in April 2021. This was exactly when MATIC’s rapid surge brought its price to an ATH of $2. The growth in Polygon’s user base in October is a direct outcome of the platform’s overall popularity. It has quickly become the preferred platform for various organizations, services, and products, including Reddit and its ambitious NFT plans.
Polygon (MATIC) Price Analysis: Where Is the Token Headed?
Polygon has been flat since August, but there has been an uptick in bullish activity as of late. After gaining over 12% over the past week, the price is once again testing the critical resistance level at $1. In the event that MATIC can rise beyond $1, this prolonged consolidation period will come to an end.
So far, traders have been successful in keeping the price above the important support level of $0.86. If current momentum continues, we could see a test of the critical resistance as soon as the first week of November. Although the bears were able to push the price down in August, a repeat of that low might be seen as favourable.
The future seems bright for MATIC since its price grew by over 20% in October. This token may enter a continuous rally in November, which may take it to $1.3, which will be the next target. However, this might only happen if the bulls can maintain the strong momentum it has been experiencing throughout the month.

Polkadot Suffers 10% Weekly Loss On Hawkish Fed – Time To Buy DOT?
To shed light on the protocol’s successes, Polkadot insiders have been providing key data. As it stands, these accomplishments are very helpful to the overall ‘well-being’ of DOT. However, the coin’s value has been down alongside the rest of the crypto and financial market.
Is this downturn going to be a great chance to buy for investors?
Markets are under intense selling pressure. The worry that the year-on-year inflation news on September 13 caused is still with us today.
The overall market cap for DOT fell by 15.3 percent, from $8.75 billion to $7.44 billion. Polkadot has shed 10% weekly loss on the heels of the U.S. central bank’s not so rosy inflation assessment. As of this writing, DOT is trading at $6.33, down 8.6 percent in the last seven days, data from Coingecko show.
These figures are not the only ones affecting market prices. Inevitably, the current interest rate hike of 0.75 percent by the Federal Reserve is seen to have a negative effect on the pricing. If things get much worse, this will have a negative impact on the value of DOT.
How Soon Will The Price Rally Occur?
Is there any way for DOT to recover quickly despite the general gloom in the financial markets?
If one looks at the daily tick indicators, one can see that DOT has been met with resistance around the $8.06 mark.
The price drop on September 13th is consistent with this. Once again, the price was rejected after reaching the $7.07 price resistance, sending it tumbling to the $6.12 support level.
Here’s Where Polkadot Rally May Be Seen
Indicators have suggested that the $6.12 support is generating positive momentum. Any significant momentum generated during this period can help the bulls break past the $7.07 resistance level.
The increasing optimistic forecast may suggest that Polkadot’s recent accomplishments are influencing investor confidence.
The positive reversal on indicators aligns with recent tweets from @PolkadotInsider. The amount of investment projects on the protocol is one of Polkadot’s ecosystem’s most remarkable achievements.
DFG is honored to be the No.1 #venture by @PolkadotInsider! 🏆
Apparently, this #CryptoWinter doesn’t slow us down; we keep investing and supporting the most promising projects in this space. 💪
Thank you for all our terrific portfolios! Let’s continue to make more history! 🚀 https://t.co/GbMIbpLLfy
— DFG (@DFG_OfficiaI) September 22, 2022
DFG Global led the list with 52 projects, followed by AU21 Capital with 39 and Hypersphere with 35.
This tweet was recently published on September 22. Following this, the price rose to a $6.44 high close. As of this writing, it appears that DOT is preparing a relief rally.
Upon detailed examination of the data, the token’s last settlement occurred at $6.48, its previous peak. This growing trend is reflected in the sentiment of investors.
Together, the momentum indicator, the commodities channel index, and the Stoch RSI are currently rising. This inclining behavior suggests that investor sentiment is rather upbeat, even in volatile circumstances such as the present.
DOT’s prior market activity likewise matched the XABCD harmonic pattern, which can advise investors and traders to buy the dip.

LARGE FOLIO STENCILED AND ILLUMINATED ANTIPHONAL, IN FULL CALF BINDING WITH BRASS BOSSES
(ANTIPHONAL). Nineteenth-century Antiphonal: Tota pulchra es, Maria (Thou art entirely beautiful, Mary). [Chile], 19th century. Large folio (16 by 22 inches), contemporary full brown blind-tooled calf, original brass bosses.
Handsome 19th-century manuscript Church antiphonal, 116 pages, with musical staves scored in red, notes in black, verse stenciled in red and black, and 14 large decorative initials illuminated by hand in gilt, red and blue. In contemporary calf binding with brass furniture.
Antiphonal singing, the singing of Roman Catholic liturgical music, chant melodies and text by two alternating choirs, was introduced into the West in the 4th-century by St. Ambrose. Tota pulchra es, Maria is an old Catholic prayer, one of the five antiphons for the psalms of Second Vespers for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. The title means "Thou art entirely beautiful, Mary" (referring to the Virgin Mary) and speaks of her immaculate conception. The verse relies on texts from the deuterocanonical book of Judith and the Song of Songs. This particular antiphonal was produced, probably in Chile, from stencils in the Bodoni typeface, designed by Giabattista Bodoni in 1788 and widely used after 1818 (when his widow published his complete Manuale Tipografico). The paper is heavy wove stock watermarked "A e L MAGNANI e C," century-old Italian papermakers who in the 19th century produced currency paper for many central banks of the world, including those of Chile. With 14 large illuminated initial letters, decorated with floral motifs, many with intricate runners in the leaf-and-tendril style. Manuscript books such as this were particularly precious. Their bindings were often "given bosses and skids to protect the covering material from damage when the books were placed flat on wooden desks or shelves" (Fine and Historic Bookbindings, 161). The use of metal furniture was reduced after 1500 as book production increased, but important books and manuscripts, such as religious texts, continued to be bound in this particular style for prominent display and use. Purported to have come originally from a convent in Santiago. Partial label from an auction house in Valparaiso.
Minor soiling to fore-edge margins, moderate rubbing and staining to contemporary calf. An extraordinary volume.
