One of the most complete descriptions of the ideas of moderate environmentalism, combined with a critique of countercultural ideas, is the work of American sociologists Joseph Heath and Andrew Potter “The Rebel Sell: Why the Culture Can’t be Jammed” (2004).
The authors believe that it is impossible to deny the whole system of capitalism and reject the modern social system (referring to the fact that it is repressive and unfair). Their critique is based on the idea that there is “healthy competition” and the distribution of so-called positional goods in any society. They’re always in short supply: expensive, “cool” things, fashionable things, and ideas. According to the authors, capitalism and the market system are indestructible. It is only necessary to eliminate its shortcomings through legislative reforms.
On the other hand, in Heath and Potter’s view, the countercultural movement that emerged in Western countries in the 1950s and 1960s and which environmentalists have organically joined is unproductive. It generates new positional benefits, albeit different from the “traditional.”
Heath and Potter’s attitude to the radical environmental movement is very skeptical: they consider unproductive the positions of the Earth Liberation Front and “Earth first!”, organizations that consider humanity an arrogant and tyrannical formation on the planet’s body. Instead, the recipes proposed by the authors are to regulate emissions by introducing pollution quotas and forcing energy-saving technologies not by appealing to the moral values of consumers but by increasing electricity bills.
Theories of “post-industrialism” and “the ideas for sale”
The problem of environmental protection is interpreted peculiarly in the theories of “post-industrialism,” which are outside the division into “left” and “right” ideological spectra and have an impact rather on the “moderate” part of environmentalists.
Environmental protection in the theories of “post-industrialism” is considered in line with the general problems that await solutions and will be solved by humankind in the next hundred years. This trend in political science and sociology is futurological and always contains an element of forecast in the works of its followers.
The primary sources of understanding of the emergence of “post-industrial” social relations are the works of American futurists Alvin Tofler, Daniel Bell, and their followers. The basic principle of their constructions is that information is not transmitted at a loss for one of the parties. Both interacting parties benefit from data transfer, as any data can be copied and freely distributed.
As modern technologies make it possible to accelerate the exchange of information many times over compared to previous generations, the opportunities for social activism and coordination of socio-political movements are growing accordingly.
The problem of human interaction with the environment in the works of theorists of the “information society” and post-industrialism is considered this way: the society of the XXI century will be focused on “intangible” production. The attitude to the world will be appropriate – as a set of virtual units and objects used for entertainment rather than for real transformation into public goods. Such an interpretation is stated, for example, in the work of the Scandinavian futurist, creative director of “Dream Company” (Copenhagen, Denmark) Rolf Jensen ” The Dream Society: How the Coming Shift from Information” (1999). It most clearly reflects not so much “consumer” as “entertaining” (the book describes the consumption of intangible pleasure, not some material good) attitude to nature by people in “post-industrial” (by some authors referred to as “postmaterial”) society.
“Companies will need to understand that their products are less important than their stories. And storytellers – specialists in the art of conveying human emotions – will need to have a voice in the design process. Designers and engineers may abandon even the most ingenious technical enhancements if those enhancements can’t be integrated into a product’s story.
Storytelling will even affect the way companies hire and retain employees. Companies will recruit people based on how they express their spirit. Marx may have been right: In an ideal society, employees will own the means of production – in their heads and their hearts.”
Jensen, who popularized the ideas of post-industrialism, formulates his attitude to environmentalism as follows: “We must understand that we have only borrowed the planet from our children. It is our duty to restore it in good condition and preserve its many treasures. “Green” approach is only part of the dream society, one of many stories that will determine the future, but it is not the whole theory. When whales cease to be food and turn into beautiful animals, and to take pictures of them, people go out to sea, a new story begins.»
Nature is considered by Jensen as a set of goods, certain qualities that can be consumed by human – values. But these values are no longer considered as utilitarian as they were in the twentieth century. According to the scientist, nature has ceased to be considered an “inexhaustible storehouse” – due to the efforts of a large-scale movement of “greens” and environmental scientists. And this also impressed theorists like Jensen, who specializes in the economic side of the circulation of “intangibles,” essentially just symbols. They also take the environment and its protection into account. However, they see nature mainly as a source of aesthetic pleasure, entertainment for the citizens of the post-industrial Western countries. On the example of the “Dream Society,” we see significant progress in the understanding by the “post-industrialists” of the importance of, at least minimal, environmental conservation. Forests, for example, can no longer be destroyed in a barbarian way – precisely because of their aesthetic (not yet environmental) significance.
In general, post-industrialism is a set of theories that justify the current level of material well-being in developed countries and consider the current division of the world as a natural consequence of social development.
Parties and political organizations in such a world must pay more and more attention to the external, symbolic manifestations of their activities, creating an “information space” in which their ideas circulate. Among them, we can find the concept of environmental protection, however, modified and adapted to the level of perception by the mass consciousness.
Not surprisingly, environmental slogans are now on the agenda of most European parties – the idea of a “green” movement to use political levers to protect the environment has become part of the “cycle of ideas in politics.”

Your Beagle puppy will grow at a different rate than other dog breeds. Details of how a Beagle dog ages and matures. 3 years to 9 years: Full adult. A 3 year. Baby steps: An adorable Beagle transforms from pup to fully-grown pooch in a YouTube video montage watched more than , times. Small, compact, and hardy, Beagles are active companions for kids and adults alike. Canines in this dog breed are merry and fun loving, but being hounds, they .
Most beagles are fully grown by about /2 years, and breeders can usually tell by . a smelly spot on your furniture, then chances are his anal glands are full. The Beagle is a breed of small hound that is similar in appearance to the much larger foxhound . The beagle-size varieties came close to extinction but some farmers in the South .. In rare cases, beagles may develop immune mediated polygenic arthritis (where the immune system attacks the joints) even at a young age. The adult beagles reach full maturity around 18 months. Beagles reach 75 percent to 80 percent of their adult size at the age of 6 months, and their future.
For a more accurate estimate, enter your Beagle puppy's current age and weight into our Puppy Weight Predictor to predict its adult size. Most canines reach their full size by the time they are 12 to 18 months old, and Catahoula dogs don't fully mature until they are closer to three years of age. getting HUGE!! just wondering around what age they stop growing??? hehe . I think larger dogs take longer to reach full size. Don't some of. So how big does a Beagle grow? Pups will begin to utter soft whines and whimpers, but nowhere near it's full voice potential. Pups at this age should be using paper to eliminate and they should be responding to their names and willing to.

The Institute of Production and Recording– Downtown Minneapolis Campus’ Global Citizenship students, headed by Aneesa Adams and Elise Roberts, held a two-day fundraiser as part of a friendly competition against Globe University’s-Downtown Minneapolis to see who could raise more money for cancer. The IPR students, held their event in the 1st Floor Student Commons at IPR on February 25 and February 26. The two classes raised $442.42 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
This event attracted IPR student, staff, and faculty and featured a live acoustic Juke Box. This was a creative idea that required students to make a donation, request a song, and see and hear it performed live.
The IPR students in both Global Citizenship classes were responsible for all of the event planning and were fueled by the desire to win the competition. In order to make the event such a huge success they spent two weeks brainstorming fundraising ideas and contacting local businesses for donations.
The proceeds will benefit The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) which is the world’s largest voluntary health agency dedicated to finding and cutting edge treatments for blood cancers. Most of LLS’ funds go to providing patient and community service. The money raised through the fundraiser will go to furthering LLS’ mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
The students learned that a lot of work goes into the logistics of a fundraiser. Through their efforts they realized that working as a team is the key to making it all happen.

If you live in the United States, then odds are that today, you’re eating turkey. It’s Thanksgiving — that’s what we Americans do. Some fifty million turkeys are consumed in the states every year on Thanksgiving, keeping with a centuries-old tradition started by the first Europeans to come to this land. But the land has changed since the pilgrims shot their first wild turkey; forests have been clear-cut, making way for agricultural fields and urban centers. Rivers have been dammed and diverted, and many of the beasts and birds that once dominated the landscape have been depleted or exterminated. Even the turkeys have changed — they’ve nearly doubled in size from selective breeding, with breasts so large that they cannot fly or mate, needing human hands to perform the act of insemination using a device ironically akin to a baster.
According to scientists at the University of Manchester, over 25 lbs of carbon dioxide emissions are produced to raise each chubby bird we consume. That means we pay for our Thanksgiving feast by releasing over 1.25 billion pounds of climate changing carbon dioxide into our already carbon-laden atmosphere.
But there is another way. Rather than turkey for your holiday feasts, consider instead the delicious flesh of the turkeyfish.
Wednesday, KHON2 published a news report about a snake sighting in Honolulu. The original post was brief: “The state Department of Agriculture is investigating a report of a snake spotted in Nuuanu,” it began. It went on to say that the unwelcome tourist was spotted near a place called Morgan’s Corner on Nuuanu Pali Drive — less than three miles from my house — so naturally, my interest was piqued. But it wasn’t just that someone spotted a snake in Hawaii that caught my eye. After all, just two years ago, a five foot long boa constrictor was killed on the highway in the same area, presumably a released/escaped pet. It was the photo accompanying the story that really struck me, allegedly of the sighted snake before it slithered off into the rainforest:
The second I saw it, my stomach clenched: that is a king cobra. A KING COBRA. That’s no ball python or little pet snake — that’s the world’s longest venomous snake, capable of delivering up to seven milliliters (or almost a tablespoon) of venom with its long fangs. It’s estimated that 50-60% of king cobra bites are fatal — a combination of the potent toxins and the overwhelming volume.
It can’t be a king cobra, I told myself. Not in Hawaii! So I asked my boyfriend Jake Buehler (who I lovingly call “Jakeapedia”), what he thought. “Looks like a king cobra.” So I turned to venom expert and snake guru (and friend of mine), Bryan Fry, a professor at the University of Queensland. “That is one seriously underweight king,” he told me. I looked closer at the photo, searching for any signs it could be something else. I reached out on Twitter, asking for IDs. I kept getting the same answer. What if it’s not a king cobra? I exasperatedly asked Bryan, providing hopeful alternative suggestions. “Nah, definitely a king. I’d recognize that head anywhere.”
A king cobra slithering around Nuuanu means two things. 1) that there’s a very dangerous snake on the loose. And 2) that someone is smuggling large, highly venomous snakes into the islands. The odds that a king cobra would accidentally arrive here are infinitesimally small. They’re native to India and Southeast Asia, and seeing as several thousand miles of water separate our islands from all continents, it didn’t swim here. They live in forests, not terribly close to most airports with direct flights to Honolulu, and they are ground-dwellers, which means they’re not likely to climb up into a wheel well of a plane anyway. No, if a king cobra arrived in Honolulu, someone intended for it to do so. And who even knows how they were feeding it — these huge serpents are snake-eaters primarily, taking the occasional lizard if necessary. Hawaii has no native terrestrial reptiles, and our introduced ones are small — not much to feed such a lengthy snake. Then again, maybe that’s why it looks so skinny... Read More
Lurking in the muddy waters of the Amazon is a fish that has fascinated some of the greatest scientists in history, including Darwin and Faraday. The electric eel (Electrophorus electrics) is one of the most notorious species on the planet, and yet, there is still much to be learned about these elusive fish.
Despite the name, electric eels aren’t actually eels at all — they’re the only species in the genus Electrophorus, a member of the knifefishes (order Gymnotiformes). These slender shockers can grow to lengths in excess of 7 feet and weigh almost 50 pounds, and are one of the top predators in the muddy South American waters they call home. Their name comes from the current-producing cells that coat roughly two-thirds of their body, called electrocytes, which can collectively discharge more than five times the voltage of a US power socket.
In humans, the shock produced by electric eels feels much like that of a stun gun, causing brief, painful paralysis by overactivation of muscles. And since the discovery that these slippery fishes can cause such a strong electrical pulse, it has generally been assumed that they use their weaponized electricity to stun prey, using their electric organs to produce taser-like shocks. But neurobiologist Kenneth Catania wasn’t sure that was the whole story. While the eels’ shock is enough to take out the small goldfish fed to them in captivity, Catania wasn’t sure that it would work on the diversity of invertebrates and fishes that could comprise the eels’ natural diet. He was curious what would happen if the eel were presented with larger, less easily subdued meal choices. Read More
It’s estimated that somewhere between one and five million people are bitten by snakes every year, with around 1/5 of those resulting in death. That number is a lot lower than it once was — several decades ago, antivenoms for deadly snakes were few and far between, so people frequently succumbed to bites. One such victim was American herpetologist Karl P. Schmidt. Read More
She came out of nowhere.
All of a sudden, you are set upon by a flying nightmare whose body shines iridescent green. Limbs intertwine as she fights to subdue you. You struggle; every muscle in your body tenses and flexes as you try to fling the emerald harpy off your back, but you feel her jaws clamp down, and she remains attached.
Terrified, you helplessly twist and contort, unable to shake her. Then you feel it — she stabs her needle-like stinger into your abdomen. Your legs tingle, then fail. The paralysis won’t last long, but it’s long enough for your venomous assailant to carefully line up the next jab. She places the point of her stinger sharp on your neck, then drills it deep. You feel a prolonged burning pain as she feels around with her stinger and slowly pumps venom over the next minute into different parts of your brain. Then, as quickly as she came, your attacker is gone. Read More
Life as a damselfish is hard. These small species are common on tropical reefs worldwide, eating tasty plankton and nipping at other fish. They’re known for their attitude and their beauty, and are often found in stunning schools that cluster around coral heads. But while they’re abundant and vibrant, what they lack are good defenses — no spines, no toxins. Indeed, they are the perfect morsel for other fish-eating fish, and they know it. The moment a predator is detected, they’ll dart for cover, their speed and agility their only hope of survival.
As perpetual menu items, damselfish have developed multiple mechanisms for detecting danger. They can even “smell” danger — when damselfish’s skin is injured, certain chemical compounds leech into the surrounding water. Other damsels can sense these chemicals — essentially “smelling” them — and when a damselfish catches a whiff of Eau de Injury, it runs and hides. But while these chemical alarms seem to benefit fellow damselfish, scientists have long debated whether the injured fish has anything to gain from sending out chemical cues. Are the compounds simply a byproduct of the physical damage? Or do they serve some greater purpose to the fish under attack?
Now, an international team of scientists have published the first evidence of an individual fish benefitting from releasing these chemical alarm cues in a new paper in Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Read More
Poison dart frogs are some of the most stunning species on Earth. But their vivid colors aren’t for aesthetics: they’re meant as a warning to potential predators. For while these frogs are visually stimulating, they are also armed with potent toxins. The poisons in their skin are so powerful that local tribes have been known to create deadly darts simply by rubbing them on the frogs’ backs — hence the name.
One might expect that the evolution of such a successful defense would allow these frogs to diversify faster than their relatives and outcompete their kin for resources and habitats — and, according to a study published in the early edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences this week, their toxins do give them a speciation advantage. But, their defenses don’t come cheap: poisonous frog species also go extinct at a faster rate. Read More
At the time, it seemed like the logical thing to do. Australian farmers were desperate. It was the 1930s, and beetles were tearing through their crops, especially sugar cane. Word spread of a toad that loved to gorge itself on the problem pests, which had been successfully brought to Hawaii to manage beetles in sugarcane fields. The Australians could have turned to pesticides, sure, but pesticides are expensive and often harmful to people and the environment. And if the toad could be introduced once, why not again? Why shouldn’t they fix their bug problem once and for all with a harmless little amphibian? So in 1935, two suitcases of cane toads (Rhinella marina; formerly Bufo marinus) arrived in Australia.
I have spent more hours than I want to admit scrolling through #CuteOff on Twitter. The hashtag (following on the heels of the much more R-rated #JunkOff) is a competition of sorts between tweeps to see who can post the cutest animal photo. But as I was sitting on the couch the other day, showing pic after pic to fellow biologist and science writer (and my boyfriend) Jake Buehler, we started to notice that vertebrates — animals, like us, with backbones — were highly overrepresented. Invertebrate species make up more than 95% of the diversity of animal life on this planet, including all of the major groups of animals (called phyla), yet there were choice few to be found in #CuteOff. The discussion went a little something like this…
J: It’s just not fair!
C: Well, I don’t know… most inverts are pretty… gross-looking.
J: You’re gross looking — to a ribbon worm!
J: Just kidding. But being serious: there are lots of adorable inverts out there that deserve a little love.
C: Hm… You think so? Care to make a wager?
J: I’m listening.
C: How about we take the major phyla of animals, split them down the middle, and see who can assemble the cutest arsenal of inverts?
J: What does the winner get?
C: Bragging rights.
J: You’re on.
So we looked up a quick phylogeny of animals and decided to take turns starting with what is traditionally considered the most basal multicellular group: phylum Porifera. I drew the short straw, which meant I had to go first.
C: You ready for this?
J: I was born ready. Read More
Two years ago, a newspaper story about a couple from North Carolina heading to Hawaii for a “dolphin-assisted birth” caught my attention on Twitter. Now “spiritual healer” Dorina Rosin is planning a similar stunt, believing the birth will be more relaxing and natural than one in a hospital. She also believes that her child will be able to speak dolphin. Her birth is to be featured on a British documentary Extreme Births.
So far, there’s no info on whether the mother-to-be has gone through with the at-sea birth or not. For that matter, no one knows what happened to the couple from NC — as far as I can tell, no one has ever actually gone through with a wild dolphin-assisted birth. I was able to find one grainy video of what appears to be a birth with a live dolphin, but it’s clear that this woman is in a pool with a captive dolphin, not the ocean.
Update 9/2: According to the documentary, Dorina did not go through with her watery plans. She went into labor at night, and thus had a natural birth on land. But, she did say she could feel the dolphins ‘sending positive energy’.
Below is my original commentary on the practice of dolphin-assisted births, from 2013. But the tl;dr version: Dolphins are wild animals. Wild animals do not make good midwives.

SHOPPERS in Nuneaton have had their plastic bags snatched and replaced with reusable ones.
It is part of an environmentally friendly scheme run by students from the town’s King Edward VI College.
They have put their creative talents to good use to make shopping bags from recycled materials, which are then given free to shoppers in exchange for their old plastic carriers.
One of the students, Sabeeha Malek, said: “The reception from the public has been fantastic. Everyone seemed to like the fact that each of our bags had its own unique design, was well made and strong. The bags are also hygienic as all the recyclable fabrics used are washable.
“It did not take us long to hand out 20 of our own bags. We then disposed of the plastic bags in the recycle bins provided outside Sainsbury’s.”
Art teacher Jan Baker said: “The students have worked really hard making the bags and had lots of fun in the process.
“We will be making more bags so any donations of recyclable fabrics such as curtains, duvet covers, pillowcases would be welcomed and can be dropped off at our college reception.”

West Midlands Police will be out in force at tonight's Second City Carling Cup derby to prevent thugs ruining England's World Cup bid.
Birmingham's games with bitter rivals Aston Villa have been marred by violence since City were promoted in 2002.
The clubs meet this evening in the first night match since 2003 after their League clashes were moved to a lunchtime kick-off.
But since then a fan was also killed in April 2008 when run over outside Villa Park and there were seven arrests after the last derby in October.
Organisers of England's 2018 team fear the prospect of FIFA officials waking up to vote tomorrow after a night of violence in the Midlands.
Now around 500 cops are due at the game and misbehaving fans have been threatened with life bans.
Police superintendent Steve Graham, match day commander, said: "Local derbies always are policed accordingly.
"Anyone arrested for football related matters will also be subject of applications of football banning orders which will prevent them from attending future fixtures.
"We have worked with Birmingham City and Aston Villa to ensure that this event takes place in a trouble-free and safe environment.
"Thousands of avid supporters will attend the match to enjoy the spectacle and atmosphere of a local derby, however we acknowledge that there may be a minority who will seek to use the occasion as an excuse to cause trouble.
"My message to this minority is that there will be a high-visibility operation on the day and we will take a robust stance against anyone whose behaviour falls foul of the law."

Default risk premium
Default Risk Premium
In commencing this article it would only prove appropriate to examine the textbook definition of a Default Risk Premium: "The portion of a nominal interest rate or bond yield that represents compensation for the possibility of default".
All investors must always consider the possibility of credit risk or in other words, default. Investors are essentially risk takers since they are (and should be) equipped with the understanding of this possibility of default. A premium is then introduced primarily to protect the investor who recognizes that issuers may or may not make all the promised payments; therefore, a higher yield is acquired in order to compensate for the risk that is assumed. A common example of a bond that is more susceptible to default is known as a junk bond. This bond is rated at or lower than 'BB' and is considered a high risk investment due to the unlikelihood of meeting the timely payments. Fortunately, there are more secure investments such as, Treasury bonds or notes. These are extremely popular investments and are usually rated higher.
Bond Ratings are actually an investors "best friend", if you will. In general terms, they aid investors in recognizing strong bonds and of course weak bonds, specifically concerning default risk. In this case, most firms hire outside agencies to rate their debt. Moody's and Standard & Poor's are two popular and prominent bond-rating firms. When rating debt, these two financial giants evaluate the creditworthiness of the issuer by assessing the likelihood of default and more importantly the creditors protection if default should occur. It is also important to understand that bond ratings are concerned with the possibility of default, which means that the strong variable of interest rate risk is left unevaluated. As a result, bond prices are subject to change at any given moment of the market flux. Here is a look at Moody's and Standard & Poor's ratings:
|High Grade||Medium Grade||Low Grade||Very Low Grade|
|Moody's||Aaa Aa||A Baa||Ba B Caa||Ca C D|
|Standard & Poor's||AAA AA||A BBB||BB B CCC||CC C D|
(Low Grade and Very Low Grade (Low Quality) are sometimes referred to as "Junk" bonds.)
Who Pays Default Premiums?
Commonly companies who have low grade bonds or people who have poor credit history pay a default premium. Companies will offer higher yields when the rating of the bond is low. As people with inferior credit must pay the bank higher interest rates in order to compensate the bank for the risk they are undertaking in lending the money. Conversely, people with strong credit will pay lower interest rates as a result of the merit of their credit history. This borrower is effectively more trust worthy. All in all, a Default Risk Premium is a financial instrument utilized to counterweigh the degree of risk of an investment.
When Default Occurs
Bond credit is directly related to the issuer's financial ability. Therefore, if a business suffers large operating losses the bonds, as a result, may drop into the junk bond status. Default or the downgrade of a firm/bond is also possible when a firms liabilities exceeds its assets thus delving the firm farther into debt. When a firm is downgraded it will inevitably impact the bondholders since the timely payments will have failed to be met. Bonds that were initially rated at an investment grade that drop to the degree of a junk bond status are referred to as, "fallen angels." When default occurs it consequently leaves the investors of that bond with a, sometimes, substantial loss.
There are numerous methods of protecting bondholders. Here are a few:

text: I have been sitting on this gorgeous cover for a couple weeks now. Can I just say that the design team at Barbour Publisher absolutely ROCKS!?!?! I was nervous about what they would come up with. The Soul Saver is not the easiest book to depict visually (women's fiction with supernatural elements), but they totally did it! I absolutely love this cover. I am again so grateful to Barbour and Becky Germany for giving my story a chance and to their amazing design team (headed by Ashley Schrock, I believe) for the perfect cover. Thank you!!!

The much-anticipated trial surrounding the firing of former McCall Police Chief Jerry Summers has been pushed back again.
Summers sued the city, claiming he was illegally fired in early 2013
as "retaliation" by City Manager Gene Drabinski. Summers claimed that he discovered Drabinski was in possession of an Idaho's driver's license at the same time his Massachusetts license was under revocation. Former Valley County Prosecuting Attorney Matt Williams said Summers repeatedly warned Drabinski that he was in violation of the law.
"It's an ugly situation," MCall City Councilman Nic Swanson said in April 2013. "We're between a rock and a hard place."
The McCall City Council voted unanimously to fire Summers, indicating that he and Drabinski couldn't work together.
Summers joined the McCall Police Department in 1997 and was named chief in 2005.
This week's McCall Star-News reports
that the trial—initially set to begin later this month—has now been pushed back to April 2015.
Both sides met in settlement earlier this year to no avail. Meanwhile, McCall officials have asked U.S. District Court Judge Edward Lodge to dismiss the case.

Analysis & implications of the turmoil surrounding the split of Romania’s ruling coalition
Political stability in Romania has taken a strong hit in recent days after Florin Cîțu, the country’s Prime Minister from the senior coalition National Liberal Party (PNL), moved to dismiss Stelian Ion, the Justice Minister, from one of his two coalition partners, the centrist USR-PLUS, over the party’s refusal to accept a €10 billion-strong development and infrastructure plan. The PM’s decision has immediately provoked the collapse of the three-party coalition, with the Cabinet currently working with minority support from Romania’s Parliament.
As pressure mounts on the ruling parties to create a new coalition agreement to ensure governance, Kesarev takes a detailed look at Romania’s current political crisis, its implications for foreign businesses, as well as potential future scenarios. For the full review, please click here.

Piedmont Triad International Airport sweetened the pot Wednesday in its quest to recruit a Skybus Airlines base, as other public and private groups in the region pledged money to help promote the airline.
Beginning in January, the airport will pay a bounty of $2.15 for each passenger who boards any airline's nonstop flight to a destination not previously being served from PTI, the Airport Authority said at a special meeting Wednesday.
PTI is competing with Richmond, Va., which has put forth an offer of about $50 million for Skybus to open a "focus city" there, according to Winston-Salem economic development officials.
But PTI has an offer that could equal Virginia's if Skybus performs according to its promises, says a letter from Don Flow and Allen Joines of the Winston-Salem Alliance to the Forsyth County Tourism Development Authority.
Flow, the alliance's chairman and a member of the airport authority, and Joines, also Winston-Salem's mayor, said that Skybus must bring in 500,000 new passengers annually to PTI before it would be eligible for the assistance.
It is considering setting up an operation similar to the one in its headquarters of Columbus, Ohio, which serves 15 cities nonstop each day.
The airline promises 1.2 million passengers at its second focus city, according to the letter.
The airport's new incentives policy applies to all airlines and expires on Dec. 31, 2010.
The $2.15 per passenger incentive is separate from other offers on the table for Skybus. The airport's payout will come from PTI's parking, retail, food and other passenger service revenues.
PTI has also collected a war chest of money that could promote Skybus if it comes here. In September, the Guilford County Commissioners gave it $300,000 to promote any new nonstop service.
And a variety of other groups across the Triad are rallying to the cause.
Groups in Winston-Salem, Greensboro and High Point are committing more than $600,000 to promote the airline if it chooses PTI over Richmond.
The Forsyth County Tourism Development Authority approved $100,000 on Tuesday, and a private group will pay $100,000.
Greensboro's Tourism Development Authority recently approved a $200,000 pledge, said authority President Henri Fourrier, and an unnamed private group will pledge another $150,000.
A private group in High Point is donating $100,000, according to the Forsyth County letter.
No officials at PTI or the state Department of Commerce would comment about incentives for Skybus on Wednesday.
Asked why the airport authority is acting so swiftly on an incentives policy it has talked about for months, airport Executive Director Ted Johnson just smiled and said: "We want the airlines to understand we're open for business."
Contact Richard M. Barron at 373-7371 or email@example.com
nThe airport is competing against incentives offered by Richmond, Va., that total about $50 million.

text: I am now really behind on my commissions, so this is part apology part explanation as to why. I have a lovely client at the moment who came to me with a small dolls house to renovate that had become damaged. It was mass produced and small, but her collection, which she brought to show me, was far superior to her house, even renovated it will never really be what she wants. What we ended up doing is finding her a new unique house, and making her a purpose built basement to go with it which will also allow for a garden. This will be a high end finish and give her (hopefully) the house she really would like. It puts my work schedule back 2 months, but my business is not about time, it’s about making my clients the house that they have always wanted. So I’m really sorry for anyone waiting for me, but I promise to spend as much time with you, getting your project just right. Meantime a look at my clients new basement in progress….

Tuesday: As per reports from Livemint, RBI has passed a proposal to introduce ₹200 notes in the country.
The central govt will need to sign off and approve the proposal to begin the printing of the new denomination around June, the daily reported.
This will be the second new denomination of currency to be introduced after the ₹2000 note.
Evidently, there has been a shortage of smaller denomination in the country after ₹500 and ₹1000 notes were demonetised by the govt back in November 2016. The new version of ₹500 note came but were not able to compensate the problems ₹2000 rupee note had created.
Reports also suggested for new ₹10 and ₹100 notes to be introduced.


SKATEBOARDING demonstrations will be the focus of the official reopening of the revamped Stirk Park playground and skatepark in Kalamunda on Saturday, November 25 from 11am.
The day will also feature a free sausage sizzle, while the Kalamunda Eastern Suns will host a basketball clinic.
The City of Kalamunda is expecting limited parking at Stirk Park for this popular event and have set up a free shuttle bus from the city’s administration building on Railway Road and Elizabeth Street, which will run every 15 minutes from 10.45am to 3pm.
The city is also encouraging visitors to park in the Kalamunda city centre and walk to the park on the day if possible.
City of Kalamunda Mayor Margaret Thomas said she is eager to welcome the community back to Stirk Park.
“The re-opening signifies the successful culmination of collaborative effort between the city and our funding partners, which has resulted in a facility that will serve our community for years to come,” she said.
“We invite all residents to join us as we celebrate this remarkable transformation and create lasting memories at this cherished park.”
The Stirk Park redevelopment was funded by the Kalamunda Rotary Club, the federal government’s local roads and community infrastructure program and Lotterywest.

Q. I am a FERS employee with 28 years in government service and about five years away from retirement. I evaluate my TSP portfolio allocation based on risk comfort, life expectancy, etc. in isolation from what I expect to receive from Social Security and my FERS pension. My allocation is roughly 60 percent stocks, 40 percent bonds (mostly G Fund). Recently, I have been told that because I will have a guaranteed income stream from my FERS pension, I can afford to take more risk in my TSP and I should move money from the G Fund to the stock side of the portfolio. What are your thoughts on what role a FERS pension should play in one’s TSP portfolio allocation decision?
A. First, you should not consider the G Fund to be a bond holding. It is comparable to cash. The F Fund is a bond fund.
Your TSP account is essentially a pension fund, and like any pension fund, it should be managed to support the benefits it will be expected to reduce. In order to do this, you must identify the size and timing of the benefits (distributions) your account will need to produce over its lifetime — at least, year by year. Knowing how much you’ll have coming in each year from sources like pensions and Social Security, or like earned or rental income, is essential to figuring this out. For example, if you plan to spend $50,000 in 2025 and will receive $15,000 from your FERS annuity and $20,000 from Social Security, you’ll need to obtain the remaining $15,000 from your TSP account that year.
Once you know what benefits your account will need to pay over your lifetime, you’re in a position to begin the analysis needed to determine your TSP allocation. Any other approach is nothing more than a guess, including that “risk comfort” approach you’ve been using.

On Oct 28, Carlson M Carter Jr. was arrested on North John Wayne Parkway for criminal nuisance. He was found sleeping on the cement near the Walgreens entrance. He awoke and shortly after urinated on the pavement outside the store. Police tried to refer him for mental health treatment in lieu of booking, but he refused and requested to be booked in jail.
On July 21, 2021, Andres L Rodriguez was arrested on Porter Road/Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway for agg. DUI D.L. suspension, DUI slightest degree, DUI drugs, speeder greater than R.P., possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana. A blood test was submitted to the DPS lab for testing and returned positive for various drugs. Felony long form charges are being submitted to the County Attorney’s Office.
On Oct 30, Sandra L Voyles was arrested on W Coltin Way for assault domestic violence and criminal damage domestic violence. The male victim and Voyles started arguing after a party.
The male victim was sleeping when Voyles came and began punching him on the head and face. Officers didn't see any redness in those areas. She tried coming at him again but he pushed her away.
He got up and in anger went to the kitchen and pushed her work computer and monitors off the counter causing them to break. Voyles went into an office and threw the male victim's things around. While she threw things, an object hit his middle toe, which was covered in fresh blood.
He told Voyles he called the police, which caused her to stop throwing things. Officers saw what looked like scratch marks on the male victim's neck that were fresh, had blood and the area surrounding it was still red. He stated Voyles did it to him but didn't say when it happened.
Voyles was cited and booked into the Pinal County Jail in the city of Florence.
On Oct 30, Matthew Pantoja-Falcon was arrested at Walmart for failure to appear, possession of drug paraphernalia and rules of criminal procedure pre-adjudication. Officers responded to an assault where two juveniles were attacked by two adult males with bandanas.
Officers found the victim and as they were talking to him, pointed out to a white male coming out of Walmart and said he was the one who punched him. Pantoja-Falcon has two warrants out for his arrest, one out of Pinal County Superior Court and another out of the City of Casa Grande. He was long form charged for the drug paraphernalia and later transported to Pinal County Jail to be booked for his warrants.

An officer submitted a misdemeanor charge for criminal damage but was advised to resubmit it with a felony criminal damage charge because the damage was over $1,000 in repairs and extensive damage to the home. The balcony was deemed unsafe and the vehicle had to stay put otherwise the balcony would collapse. The brick wall was damaged as well.

The Best Complete Street Policies of 2015
Determined by Smart Growth America and National Complete Streets Coalition
Complete streets are streets for all users - vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, public transit and more. Smart Growth America's National Complete Streets Coalition is committed to the development and implementation of complete streets policies and practices nationwide.
In 2015, communities passed a total of 82 complete streets policies, bringing the total to 899 across all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, DC.
The National Complete Streets Coalition analyzes new complete streets policies each year and ranks them based on ten factors: vision and intent, inclusion of all users and modes, inclusion of all projects and phases, clear and accountable exceptions, a transportation network, jurisdiction, design, context sensitivity, performance measures, and implementation steps. There are five points possible in each category, weighted for a total possible 100 points.
The best complete streets policies of 2015 are as follows:
1. Reading, Pa., with an unprecedented 100 point score.

KCa3.1, also known as SK4 or IK1, is a member of a family of small- to intermediate-conductance potassium channels in humans (KCa2.1?2.3, KCa3.1). KCa3.1 plays a crucial role in T-cell activation by effluxing potassium to maintain a negative membrane potential that allows for additional calcium influx. KCa3.1 is a potential therapeutic target for inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and for organ transplant rejection. KCa3.1 (and KCa2.1?2.3) is homotetrameric and activated through calcium binding to calmodulin (CaM), which is constitutively associated with a cytoplasmic region of the channels (CaM binding domain, CaMBD). A novel feature of KCa3.1 activation is the additional requirement of phosphorylation of a specific histidine residue (His358), just downstream of the CaMBD, by NDPK-B (nucleoside diphosphate kinase-B). Although histidine phosphorylation is well characterized in two-component signaling systems in prokaryotes, the functional consequences of histidine phosphorylation in eukaryotes are just beginning to be understood. Recently, we showed that histidine phosphorylation of KCa3.1 is necessary to relieve copper inhibition of the channel. In this application, cryo-EM studies are proposed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which KCa3.1 is regulated by calcium and histidine phosphorylation.
The potassium channel KCa3.1 plays a crucial role in immunity by effluxing potassium ions from T cells, which allows the influx of additional calcium ions to activate T cells. This proposal seeks to characterize by cryo- electron microscopy the three-dimensional structures of KCa3.1 in its closed and open states. KCa3.1 is a potential therapeutic target for inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and for organ transplant rejection.

Unconventional, because I had the day off! I spent little of the actual day typing as we're entertaining company, and with all due respect to Mr. Sholes, I didn't want to spend it all in front of the keys. I'm looking forward to catching up on everyone's creative endeavors.
As for me, I delved back into colorcasting, this time using crayons on some erasable onionskin that I picked up, thinking that the thinner paper and the special coating (?) might make a more carbon-paper-like surface. In the end, I prepared four sheets with alternating stripes of colors, and then used each to type something "conventional": a few lines of the exploits of the Quick Brown Fox, a thank-you note to Mr. Sholes, a shout out to World Typewriter Day, and the reminder to all Good Men that Now Is The Time.
Scanned and placed inside the letterforms of Richard Polt's Sholes & Glidden font, itself a scanned piece made from the handiwork of a far more famous and literary Clemens...
Only too late did I realize how well the lighter wax would work on darker paper: maybe next year!
Using the thinner paper as a base layer for the wax worked well, and I turned the touch control on the typewriter all the way down to the lightest touch. Lots of punch-outs on the closed letters, as you would expect, so another colorcasting lesson was learned: always use an open-bottom typewriter! My table was covered in colorful, waxy confetti when all was done.

Display of remorse keeps poppy scandal student Philip Laing out of jail
A student who urinated on a war memorial after a seven-hour drinking binge was spared a jail sentence yesterday by a judge who said that he had never seen anyone more contrite.
Philip Laing, 19, was warned at an earlier hearing that he could be imprisoned for outraging public decency. A photograph of him committing the offence during an organised pub crawl had been published in newspapers and on the internet.
District Judge Anthony Browne told him at the time that the image of him defiling a poppy wreath would have made “most people turn away in disgust, shock and sadness”. But when Laing appeared at Sheffield Magistrates’ Court for sentencing, the judge said that he had “never seen anyone more contrite, nor who regrets


Skrillex revisits his roots with Babymetal performance

Pathetic Memory Mondays is a weekly-ish feature where I delve into my past to discuss a rather pathetic and sad memory. It’s hilarious now, unlike when the memory took place. It was very sad then.
I tried playing guitar. My grandma paid for three month’s of lessons from one of Enid, Oklahoma’s best guitarists. He tried, but I just couldn’t get it. My fingers wouldn’t move fast enough. Had the guitar been made of food, they probably would have been the fastest that town had ever seen. It wasn’t meant to be. My dreams of being a guitarist, rocking on stage, being cool, attracting ladies, were dead…
Until Guitar Hero…
I know what you’re saying: “Mark, Guitar Hero won’t attract ladies. It’s a video game played with a six-buttoned plastic guitar. It isn’t real.” I realize that now. I didn’t realize that then. Or for a few years, actually.
I should have realized it within 30 minutes of playing. I was in the apartment of some good friends playing. I picked it up fast, mastering songs on medium and doing well on hard. Then, one of my best friends, Alan, stepped up to play. We all thought he’d be a master seeing as he was absolutely amazing at playing a real guitar. But Alan couldn’t get it. He failed out of medium. He barely could do easy. Frustrated, he walked out of the apartment. He came back 10 minutes later to make a point I ignored for far too long…
I played a lot of Guitar Hero. A sickly amount. I was a sophomore in college and ignored school work. Surprisingly, my grades went up. Not sure how that works, but hooray!
I bought the sequels, I moved on to Rock Band, playing guitar, drums, singing, all of it. At one point, I built a microphone stand out of cardboard so I could play guitar and sing at the same time. I was good. Not insane-good like some people were, but I beat all the games on expert eventually (and barely.) I memorized songs and bought a wireless guitar so I could walk around the house and play without looking at the screen. If you wanted a rendition of Weezer’s “Say It Ain’t So” sung with emotion and played hard on guitar, I was your man.
I thought I was amazing. I thought I was a rock God. A plastic rock God. We’d throw parties and I’d play, banging my head, spinning, kicking, walking through the house and playing, staring at ladies. Seriously. I did all of this. There are witnesses.
Seriously, who wouldn’t want to get with that guy?
The answer: anybody.
I remember thinking Guitar Hero and Rock Band could help me get women to like me. It’s a very vivid memory and idea, one that gives me a strong twinge of embarrassment but a great laugh. In retrospect, I think it was more about the idea of confidence than playing the game. In my mind, playing such a silly game in a serious and hyperbolic way showed that I wasn’t afraid of looking stupid; therefore, I had confidence in myself. If I acted like it was cool to play Guitar Hero memorized with a wireless controller in the kitchen while the television was in the living room (this happened a few times at parties and yes, I hate myself for it), then maybe a woman would go, “you know, he is absurd and weird but confident in that and I want to put my tongue in his mouth!”
But those dreams never materialized. I never garnered a gaggle of Guitar Hero groupies, never woke up the next morning to find a naked woman wrapped around my body, holding onto a plastic toy guitar. If only I had just realized Alan’s point years before, when he re-entered the apartment with his acoustic guitar and exclaimed, “Hey, who wants to play this game?” then strummed a song on a real guitar with real strings. We all laughed as he sat down and kept playing. What a cool son of a bitch.
I looked at the plastic guitar in my hands. “I can be that cool with this, right?”
Oh, 21-year-old Mark, how stupid you were. How awesomely stupid.

RALEIGH (WTVD) —
Gas stations throughout central North Carolina are having to turn away customers because they are out of gas due to the leak in the Colonial Pipeline.
Our crew was in Raleigh on New Bern Avenue and saw several stations without gas. Other places had massive lines or were only selling certain types of gas.
The pipeline which runs from Houston to New York had a 250,000-gallon leak.
Gov. Pat McCrory issued a statement Sunday night saying they are working with fuel suppliers to “monitor and quickly replenish” supplies.
“Based on our ongoing updates from Colonial, the construction of a bypass pipeline is moving forward which will soon allow fuel supply operations to return to normal,” said Governor McCrory. “In the meantime, my executive orders remain in effect to protect motorists from excessive gas prices and minimize any interruptions in the supply of fuel.”
REPORT PRICE GOUGING HERE
Colonial say they expect the bypass of the leak to be in place by mid to late week, according to the governor.

Exon Mobile released a statement saying they are working to secure alternative supply, if necessary. Sheetz said they are also looking into alternatives.
Gas prices in the Triangle have risen nearly 10 cents since Friday.

I have a penchant for Mixing Prints; But, I also find it a little tricky, especially when it comes to mixing prints in different colours.
Some tricks that help me with mixing same-colour prints are:
- Keeping a basic and limited colour palette when mixing very different prints.
- Keeping one major print and the rest minor (for instance; in the outfit above; the skirt is the major print; while the easy print of the racer back qualifies as a minor print).
- Usually, smaller prints make one look slimmer and large prints can make one look a little bigger, depending on your body type, you can use that to your advantage.
I think tips for mixing coloured prints can wait for another day and another post :)
Skirt: thrifted, tank: ?, heels: Bangkok, bangles: thrifted, Nail Paint: Chanel 455 Lotus Rouge
I hope everyone is having a good week! mine's been a little crazy and very tense :(
Thanks for stopping by,

The healthiness of processed foods frequently consumed by children in early childhood development centres in the North West Province
Introduction: The prevalence of infant, childhood and adolescent obesity is increasing globally. In South Africa, 20.5% of children aged two to five years are overweight or obese and regional and international comparisons show that South African children at pre-school age have a major problem with overweight and obesity. Obesity is associated with numerous diseases such as stroke and high blood pressure. Little is known about childhood nutritional intakes in the age group of two to five-year olds. Diet, especially the consumption of processed foods, plays an important role in childhood obesity. Objectives: The aim of this research was to determine the healthiness of frequently consumed processed foods of children aged two to five years. Specific objectives included (i) determining which processed foods were frequently consumed by children in this age group and (ii) determining the healthiness of these frequently consumed processed foods by means of nutrient profiling. Methods: Twenty-four-hour dietary recall (24HDRs) interviews were conducted to assist with compiling a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) to determine the consumption of specifically processed food by the study population. Parents and caregivers of children aged two to five years were recruited through early childhood development centres. The children’s processed food consumption was captured using the newly developed FFQ. The most frequently consumed processed foods were then identified and assessed for healthiness using the South African nutrient profiling model. Results: In this study, 51 participants partook in the 24HDRs and 119 participants volunteered to take part in completing the FFQ. Sixteen processed foods were identified as being most frequently consumed by the children aged two to five years. These foods (listed form most to least frequently consumed) were brown bread, crisps, macaroni, Viennas, strawberry yogurt, tub-margarine, soft sweets, chocolate muffins, chocolates, vanilla ice cream, hard sweets, polony, cola carbonated drinks, apricot jam, breakfast cereal (high in fibre) and take aways. Eleven (11) of these 16 processed foods (68.75%) were classified by the South African nutrient profiling model as less healthy. Conclusions: Most of the processed foods consumed by children aged two to five years in this sample study were less healthy. The foods identified as unhealthy had a high fat and/or salt and/or sugar content. It is recommended that further research should be done to determine the energy contribution of processed foods to children aged two to five years’ diet to link childhood obesity with processed food consumption. What is more, priority should be given to the education of parents and caregivers regarding healthier food choices for their children using the South African Food-Based Dietary Guidelines.

At some time late in 1597, Godfrey Macalister of Loup killed his former guardian, the Tutor of Loup. Godfrey had succeeded to the chieftainship as a minor, and he was placed under the care of a guardian, thereafter known as the Tutor of Loup. According to the record of the 1609 trial of James Macdonald of Dunnyveg, “the sons of the late Tutor of Loup were in [James Macdonald’s] father’s house of Askomil, in Kintyre, and . . . the Laird of Loup (who had slain their father) was very desirous to have their lives”.
According to clan legend, as related by several later writers, Godfrey wished to be married to the daughter of a nearby laird, but his Tutor thought the young lady better suited to one of his own sons. Apparently something was done to nix the relationship between Godfrey and his intended, because the Tutor and his family, fearing retribution, fled the area. Some time later, after Godfrey had come of age, the Tutor seems to have decided it was safe to return. When Godfrey caught wind of this, he met his former guardian en route and stabbed him to death. The Tutor’s sons sought the protection of Angus Macdonald of Dunyvaig, who was the strongest of the local lairds and a traditional ally of the Macalister clan.
How much of this is true and how much romantic embellishment, of course, cannot be known. We only know that the killing occurred. Though he was writing of a completely unrelated story in the history of his own clan, Alistair Campbell of Airds’ conclusion applies equally well to our story of Godfrey Macalister and his Tutor: “As so often happens with tales of this sort, there is no historical evidence to support it, but it is not impossible that something of the kind might have happened.”

Chairman Designate appointed to VHI Board
Minister for Health Leo Varadkar has announced that Liam Downey has been appointed Chairman-Designate of the Voluntary Health Insurance Board.
Mr Downey will take on the role from 15 March 2015 if ratified by the Oireachtas Health Committee.
In accordance with Government policy on appointments to State Boards Downey will appear before the Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children tomorrow.
Liam Downey has served on the Board of VHI for the last four years, and previously was Chairman of the HSE for five years. He has more than 30 years of experience in national and international business affairs and management practice. Minister Varadkar said he is delighted Mr Downey has agreed to take up this important role.
Mr Downey is a former President of the Federation of Irish Employers, a former Director and Trustee of IBEC, a former Chairman of the Irish Medical Devices Association and a former Member of the Labour Relations Commission.
Mr Downey has been involved with the healthcare sector for many years. His experience of the private and public sector in both executive and non-executive roles will ensure he can provide the necessary leadership and direction to VHI in the challenging years ahead.
“This is a critical time in the VHI’s application for authorisation by the Central Bank of Ireland. It faces a number of significant challenges but is going in the right direction with increasing numbers of policyholders, and is now profitable again. Liam Downey will build on the work of the outgoing Chairman, Martin Sisk, and use his strong business acumen and experience to drive growth at the VHI. I wish him well in his new position,” Minister Varadkar said.
“I also want to thank Martin Sisk for leading the VHI Board during a very challenging period for the industry and the company. He has overseen significant improvements in VHI’s cost containment processes, prepared VHI for authorisation, and leaves the VHI in a much stronger position to face the challenges ahead.”

Australia's first canyoning festival was hosted in the Mountains recently. The festival at Mount Wilson on November 8-10 included workshops about every aspect of canyoning, a photo exhibition, commercial stalls and social evenings with fellow canyoners.
The festival was organised by the NSW Canyoning Association, formed to give the growing canyoning community an official voice and help promote safe and environmentally sustainable canyoning.
The group's acting president, Damon Anderson, said: "Canyoning is a fast-growing sport and has been part of the Blue Mountains adventure scene for the last 50 years. We thought it was time to bring people together to celebrate the sport and share adventures and skills sets with like-minded people - to celebrate all things canyoning."

Alabama Shakes is the group that plays the title song of this coming week’s True Blood Season 7, episode 2 over the end credits.
“I Found You,” is a concert staple for the soul-rock band from Athens, and a track from the 2012 debut album, “Boys & Girls.” Lead singer Brittany Howard is a force to be reckoned with in the music world, and her deep Southern timbre is as distinctive as it gets.
The title of that episode echoes the song, and without spoiling anything, we can tell you that an important character starts and ends the program by saying, “You found me.” But each time, those words have very different meanings.

This project comprises an illustrated hardback book with accompanying audio CD. It depicts a story called 'The Silver Skeleton Pocket Watch' which is the title of a folk song I wrote a couple of years ago (track featured on CD). The story tells the tale of a man in a sleepy town who by chance meets his true love. She gifts him a pocket watch that becomes an allegory for the love that they share and when they are parted its hands cease to tick.
I hand bound the book using luxury materials such as premium papers and Napa leather. The book features supplementary illustrations by illustrator Lea Dalissier (as seen on page 10 below).
The lyrics/ prose are as follows...
In a sleepy town that was not renowned for scandal nor for strife
Once lived a man as honest as age for the entirety of his life.
But in the midst of one winter's frown upon a routine visit to town
He saw a girl who could not be trapped and he knew all at once where his true love sat.
Sure enough perched upon a ledge was a fair maiden who clutched at her breast,
Her beauty matched only by the object that she held:- a silver skeleton pocket watch that in her garments dwelled.
Not a word was uttered true and from the air they conclusions drew
And love's grasp firmly did take hold as their vesture did unfold.
His ture love gave unto him the watch of a thousand silver parts
She said most delicate "Won't you wear this in the pocket above your heart?".
It was intricate like no man had ever seen like the scrawled scriptures of a lonesome dream
At no point in history did it sit. It knew only of its future as its hands did tick.
The watch it brought the summer fourth and their bodies in the fields it seemed to dwarf
Beneath the gentle humming skies as pink as the blosom that on the breeze did fly.
But on one dark day in a despereate time he lost sight of his love on the rocks
And the only hands he had left to hold where those of the silver skeleton pocket watch.
As the watch spoke unto him his heart sank like a black stone
"As I lay here lifeless and still all the while you shall be alone".
With vicious vigour his voice it burned "Oh may you mercy lend!
For if your hands do not turn then time itself shall surely end".
For you alone can count the days that pass that my love and I do spend
Where condemened we may be by sour sands and glass and each other we shall still defend.
Where we swim in each other's eyes and seek solice in each other's hearts
And but one glance upon her face and Eden's gates do part.
A weary man upon whom time was lost he was left and he seldom undertook any venture
Other than to tend to his weathered artifacts and care so dear for his denture.
A peddlar's son watched the man each day for a two score and seven year span
To the clock tower go for to set the watch and wait for her and still little hands they did not stir.
The little watch a revelator itself proved and the man's heart skipped a beat when the watche's pumped
And while far off towering sands did move for the ceiling the little man did jump.
"God speed", he said, "little hands that rest upon my palm.
For you and I shall go now to my true love's open arms".
