Of Dice and Men
Working with the fluctuating rhythms of everyday life OF DICE AND MEN is an essayistic video diary punctuated by moments of subjective consequence and markers in a shared history. Presented in dialogue across two screens, the work mainly come from London and Istanbul, two cities which Pekün’s life straddles - and is torn between. It includes footage of the Occupy movements that began in London in 2011 as well as Istanbul’s Gezi protests in 2013, interlaced with more joyful and elusive experiences: boys diving into the Bosphorus or a first encounter with a feat of nature. Attuned to the differing neoliberal conditions, dynamics and pressures of these contexts, Pekün mediates moments of rupture and violence in day-to-day life. Indeed, Pekün originally picked up her camera hoping to capture and make sense of a present that she felt was shifting around her – palpable in both the events unfolding in these cities, but also in the emergence of a new political subjectivity that was awakening from its slumber. In the film, her diary entries are each given different formal and linguistic treatment - a new essay, reflecting on ideas and issues that arise from the events the dice throws. In this sense of dice and men is a reflection on how we react to and negotiate the unfolding present – where subjectivity and political agency are brought to bear.

DriveTribe at Cars & Coffee in London
Cars & Coffee held its first ever official event in London, and we decided to attend in style
The worldwide phenomenon known as Cars & Coffee has been widely imitated; there is however only one original movement, and it recently came to London for its first-ever official event.
The event itself was huge, of the 120 cars in attendance, 20 were classed as ‘Hypercars’. C&C is the only place where you can see three LaFerrari’s and four Porsche 918 Spyders parked within a few feet of a legendary Ferrari F40.
Amongst the exotic metal on display were such rarities as a McLaren FT GTR, a P1 LM, a McLaren 675 LT and even a Konigsess Agera R. Other highlights ranged from a replica KITT car to Lamborghini's and a crop of Porsche’s 911’s which ranged from vintage to modern examples.
With the event starting early at Topaz detailing in London, followed by a countryside drive leading to the second leg in the picturesque village of Hambledon. So that team DriveTribe could attend C&C London and not be outdone with all the Supercars in attendance, we enlisted the help of Stratstone Aston Martin who kindly gave us the keys to this, the stunning Aston Martin Vanquish.
Boasting the AM29 V12 engine with 568bhp, the big Grand Tourer held its own against the mass of supercars on the day. It was amongst a handful of V8 Aston’s in attendance and only one other V12 in the form of a DBS model on the day.
The Vanquish is one of those cars that makes a massive impact wherever you go, on the road to Hambledon the V12 dominated proceeding as it burbled its way through the countryside as we took travelled with our convoy of horsepower.
To read our thoughts on the Aston Martin Vanquish. Here are five things we learned driving the Aston Martin Vanquish by @James King
The car they called the ultimate 'Ultimate Aston Martin'
Cars & Coffee is touring the world and promises it will be back in London in 2018. In the meantime, there are several dates throughout the UK in the coming months alongside several international events across the world.

Our staff will be able to refer you to a number of external NHS approved providers with a number of treatments for hair removal such as laser-based treatments, electrolysis and prescription creams. Types of treatments and their frequency will vary depending on your hair type (colour, thickness etc.). Clinicians can give you information on how long each treatment will last, how effective it could be, and any side effects e.g. redness and post-treatment care.
Laser treatment is likely to require a treatment episode of around 15 x 30 minute sessions (7.5 hours), plus an initial 30 minute session where a test patch is carried out.
Intense Pulse Light (IPL) treatment is likely to require a treatment episode of around 15 x 30 minute sessions (7.5 hours), plus an initial 30 minute session where a test patch is carried out.
Effective facial hair removal by electrolysis is likely to require a minimum of 250 hours but with many individuals requiring up to 400 hours of treatment.
There is a limit to the amount of treatment funded by the NHS and there is no guarantee that this will reduce your facial hair to your complete satisfaction. If you want additional or future epilation treatment, you will have to pay for this yourself. Clinicians can advise you about this.

And the Number One news story in the UK tonight was...
CCTV images of one of the 21 July bomb suspects apparently fleeing London in a Muslim veil have been shown in court.
The jury at Woolwich Crown Court saw footage of Yassin Omar, 26, wearing a black full-length dress and burka with a handbag over his arm.
He is said to have travelled by bus to Birmingham from Golders Green in north London on 22 July 2005 - the day after an alleged attempt to bomb the Tube.
Not only were the images shown in court, the Metropolitan Police obligingly released a video of Yassin Omar wearing a burka so that everyone else could have a look.
The video is obviously a tremendously crucial piece of evidence, as demonstrated by it being the first item on most news broadcasts, but a few niggling questions remain...
The only thing the video seems to actually prove is that it is possible for a large Black man to flounce around Birmingham wearing a dress without drawing too much attention to himself.
All very disgusting from the point of view of any red-blooded heterosexual but, to the best of my knowledge, Omar is on trial for unsuccessful terrorism in London, not successful transvestism in Birmingham
The sheer irrelevance of the footage comes across nicely when reading the non sequiturs in articles attempting to report it as news...
The police have released a video of a black man in a dress
He's on trial for trying to blow up London
However, whilst it is not exactly slam dunk evidence of Omar's role in the 21/7 bombings the footage released today does convey two very important pieces of information to the British public
- The next time you see someone wearing a burka they could be a terrorist
- CCTV is a jolly good thing
With the conspicuous exception of 7/7 and the Stockwell Shooting (where is that pesky CCTV footage?), our security forces have been planting news stories that preach the virtues of high tech surveillance (CCTV/ DNA databases/ Cellphones/ Travel Cards) for years now and we're used to that - though if CCTV really did make our world a better place London should be fucking Nirvana by now
But the banging on about the burka thing is something newer and nastier
And why is no-one in the mainstream questioning what the police are up to releasing this material whilst a trial is still going on?
So what's the deal now? The police release videos shown at every criminal case? Just terrorism cases? All videos? Just selected material? Selected on what criteria? By who?
This is so dodgy, and not a squeak from anyone.
I'd expect our tabloid press and politicians to bump up their circulation figures by stirring up the mob, but our police joining in as well. Our police?
I haven't seen much blogging about the 21/7 trial to date. I suspect that's because people are waiting to see how the defence pans out. From what has been made public so far, the 21/7 bombers, and their bombs, come across as some kind of incompetent comedy act, coordinated by the Somali equivalent of Coco the Clown and destined for failure from the start. These guys are cast from the same mould as most of the other losers living in bedsits that our police have trawled up in recent years. They are not the same kind of people as those who carried out 7/7. Oh no...
Of course, there is a tiny problem-ette with waiting to hear what the defence case might be. And that problem is our media doesn't report the defence case in terrorism trials. Take the trial of the guys arrested during the amusingly named Operation Crevice for example. Lots and lots of daily coverage of the prosecution case, including lashings of CCTV footage from the police, then as soon as the defence starts, and particularly when one of the accused mentions the ISI - biff - nada - niente.
Ah well, fuck it, not many people want to hear what the defence has to say anyway.

PIC chairperson Reuel Khoza says the state asset manager had discussed the proposal with the Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF) and the two had principally agreed to the proposal.
Khoza says the PIC’s holdings in Eskom bonds amount to around R90 billion, out of Eskom’s total debt of around R450 billion.
Yesterday, Finance Minister Tito Mboweni announced that Cabinet had approved the appointment of a new CEO for the PIC.
Abel Sithole is currently the Principal Executive Officer of the Government Employees Pension Fund.
Mboweni has wished him well in his appointment.
In the video below, PIC chairperson Reuel Khoza is upbeat Sithole has what it takes to restore the organisation’s credibility:
Sithole will serve a five-year-term at the corporation.
He will be taking over from Vuyani Hako, who has been acting in the position.
“We thank Mr Hako for his contribution at the PIC, steering the organisation through very difficult times. We also congratulate Mr Sithole on his appointment as CEO and wish him well in leading the organisation and in restoring its integrity,” says Mboweni.
Sithole is currently the Principal Executive Officer of the Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF) and the Commissioner of the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA).
Before joining the GEPF in 2015, he was a Deputy Executive Director at the Institute of Futures Research, University of Stellenbosch Business School. He also has a number of non-executive roles.
It is hoped that he will stabilise the state-owned investment manager and be the glue between the board of the PIC and the board of the GEPF.
Sithole is the first permanent PIC CEO in almost two years.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to one of the biggest shocks the world has ever seen. Schools were shut, remote instruction became widespread and government policy seemed to be changing overnight. The working conditions of teachers hence suddenly changed, with significant disruption from the pandemic lasting for the next two years.
This is likely to have had a major impact on teachers’ mental health, including their wellbeing at work. As part of a project supported by the Nuffield Foundation, we have tracked teachers’ anxiety about work at 75 points between October 2019 and July 2022.

You’re all thrilled and prepared to make a begin on what only could be the most important nutritional decision in your life therefore far… commencing the Paleo Consuming Strategy! It is indeed a great choice and in the event that you adhere to it, a decision that may pay off in so several methods when it comes to losing weight, cleansing the body, preventing food intolerance’s and just feeling more healthy generally!

Get records, print that out, do anything you need to do to be able to guarantee you’ve the very best chance at making a successful transformation to the Paleo lifestyle and following Paleo Diet Recommendations!
Today just yet another thing before we begin on some tasty Paleo diet meals. You will find people who say that the Paleo selection is very limited. As you might find just on the list below, this may perhaps not be further from the truth.
You may also easily add many types of game meats to this category. The “standard” game meats such as for instance venison, goose and alligator are common possibilities but most game is acceptable from rattlesnake and pheasant to crazy boar and reindeer. Just always remember to select slim pieces with no fat. Slim poultry can be successful for the paleo diet food list but guarantee it is only the bright meat components, ultimately just the breast part and that the skin is removed.
And today, heading over to the vegetable section… stock your crispers and appliances with one of these healthy Paleo choices. Artichoke, Asparagus, Beet vegetables, Broccoli, Brussels spouts, Cabbage, Peas, Cauliflower, Oatmeal, Collards, Cucumber and Bell peppers.
Seeds and crazy will also be an incredibly excellent reference, they style great and are very filling! Try to eat as many of these types as you can and ensure many of them are regulars in your Paleo diet grocery list.

On the desserts side… properly that is just about the only place wherever experts of the Paleo diet consuming strategy possess some ground. There is not a lot of desserts and muffins that you’ll have in your Paleo diet food list. Numerous is that after finding applied to this way of eating, you probably won’t require the sweet stuff as much as you used to and once you begin to feel therefore significantly better… well… its a simple tradeoff!
Another a valuable thing is that few persons actually eat an excellent selection of new fruit. Oranges, oranges, apples and grapes make-up most of the fresh fruit that gets eaten. There’s a complete special spectrum of taste, consistency, odors and range in fresh fruit and when you realize this… you will see that the sweet urges you used to possess for cakes and candy are gone.

After Salman Khan was criticised for supporting Pakistani artists in India, the actor’s father took to Twitter on Monday to slam the haters.
Salim Khan made multiple tweets and sarcastically criticised a media house and others who have been slamming Salman, Mahesh Bhatt, Karan Johar and Sitaram Yechury for asking people to keep politics and art separate.
Like Salman, film-makers Karan Johar and Mahesh Bhatt had opined that banning Pakistani artists in India would not solve the problem of terrorism. Politician Sitaram Yechury had also said that art should be kept above political conflicts.
However, all of them faced backlash for their comments and supporting Pakistani artists. Now, Salim Khan replied with a series of sarcastic tweets.
“Breaking news Saeed, Lakhvi & Masood replaced by Salman Khan Mahesh Bhatt Karan Johar & Yechury on the most wanted list of Times Now,” Salman’s father tweeted.
“as these people are a big threat to the unity of our country. Take heart gentlemen at least you are in the job of entertaining people rather than in the job of shouting screaming hurting & humiliating people. Mr Yechury careful, talking of peace will make you a traitor.”
“Mr Bhatt our country has no dearth of intense and dramatic actors on TV then why look across the border,” he concluded.
After the terror attack at Uri in Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla district, there had been a strong demand from different corners of the country to ban artists from the neighbouring country as Pakistan apparently has a hand in the terror activities.
Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) had warned all the Pakistani artists in India to leave the country and also demanded a ban on Bollywood films that feature actors and actresses from the neighbouring nation.
On September 29, the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA) passed a resolution to temporarily ban all Pakistani artists in India.

This aluminum foil seal has a strong acrylic adhesive which produces a seal of high integrity. It was developed for PCR and other high temperature applications due to its effectiveness in preventing sample evaporation. The PCR Foil Seal is pierceable; when pierced, the foil tears in an irregular manner which prevents the formation of a vacuum. It also has perforated end tabs for easy application and removal by peeling.
For all adhesive seals, the best sealing results are achieved using the hand held Adhesive Seal Roller (4ti-0502)

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Before No. 1 Alabama left for the Bay Area for the College Football Playoff National Championship Game, it was reported an assistant coach was leaving to join another staff.
Crimson Tide offensive line coach Brent Key is expected to join Georgia Tech’s staff under new head coach Geoff Collins, according to a report from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Per the report, Key will continue to coach the offensive line but an additional title is possible for him.
But at Alabama’s Media Day at SAP Center on Saturday morning, Key said he has not accepted the position and his sole focus is helping the Tide prepare to face Clemson on Monday, Jan. 7.
“I played there, so that’s not a surprise by any means. But I’m here with these guys, I’m working on this game,” Key told BamaOnLine. “We’ve got a game Monday night, and just like I wouldn’t talk about the next team before I played another team. I’m just focused on these guys, focused on Alabama and ready to go play this one.”
Key has spent the last three seasons at Alabama coaching the offensive line, but he was also a four-year starter at right guard for the Yellow Jackets from 1997-2000, playing for Coach George O’Leary, who Key coached under at UCF. He was there with Collins for two seasons (2008-09).
Key has coached the UA offensive line to three straight seasons of being named finalists for the Joe Moore Award, which is annually given to the best offensive line unit. Junior left tackle Jonah Williams was named a unanimous All-American for his performance through the first 13 games.
“It’s so much fun coaching these guys this year because it’s such a mixed group of personalities and experience levels,” Key said. “But at the end of the day, they have the same objective, and that’s to go out and play physical and work to dominate the opponent.
“It’s been so much fun coaching this group. The playing next to each other and the cohesiveness and the things whereas maybe even early in the season when practice was over and these guys went here and these guys went there, now they’re all together all the time. And that’s when you see that the group’s structure is where you want it to be.”
If Key leaves, he would be the second Alabama assistant to leave the program, joining Crimson Tide offensive coordinator Mike Locksley, who will be the head coach at Maryland next year. The third-year offensive line coach’s contract called for him to be paid $490,000 this year. The only Georgia Tech assistant paid more last year was defensive coordinator Nate Woody ($575,000).
Alabama will play Clemson in the national title game on Monday at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. Key will coach in the title game and is working to prepare the Tide O-line to face the Tigers, which lead the country with 52.0 sacks and have only allowed a nation-leading 2.4 yards per carry.
“They’re a big defensive line to start out,” Key said of second-ranked Clemson. “They’re extremely talented, well-coached, play within a very aggressive scheme. They have power, they have quickness, they can rush the passer, they can stop the run. It’s the total package. You want nothing more than to come out for your last game and have that challenge in front of you.”

Reviews for the Lenovo Miix 2 11
Source: PC Pro
On paper, with plenty of hardware packed in, a decent display and battery life, plus a bundled keyboard dock, the Lenovo Miix 2 11in looks pretty good value. The Core i5 version we tested comes in at £656 inc VAT including the keyboard dock and 256GB storage; the Core i5 Surface Pro 3 with 256GB costs £1,109 - nearly double - and that's without the keyboard, which costs another £110. The problem for the Miix 2 11in is that its keyboard dock is so poorly designed that it's hardly worth having – and that undermines a lot of what makes the Miix 2 such an attractive proposition in the first place. It's so close to being a good product, but we can't recommend it.

If you stick with basic tasks like productivity, web browsing and Windows Store apps, then the Lenovo Miix 2 (11") offers a quality user experience. But for anything more advanced, it's bedlam. The Miix 2 will have trouble competing with rivals like the Asus Transformer Book T100TA, which offers much better performance per pound spent.

The Lenovo Miix 2 11 was created to compete with the Asus Transformer Book T100TA, Samsung Ativ Smart PC XE500T1C and any other similar class laptop tablet hybrids. While it is wonderful to have PC-like experience in table form, there are just too many shortcomings to really be useful as PC. Made from an all plastic construction, the Lenovo Miix 2 11 still maintains a good design profile while sporting an 11.6 inch FHD display.
The tablet attaches to the keyboard using a magnetic connector and can be flipped to allow touchscreen access only. The hardware includes an Intel Core i3-4012Y (1.5 GHz) or Intel i5-4202Y (1.6 GHz); depending on the variant, up to 8 GB DDR3L on-board RAM and an integrated Intel HD graphic chip. Besides this, the Lenovo Miix 2 11 also packs a 256 GB SSD. MicroSD cards up to 2 TB are supported.
The sound quality is good with integrated JBL stereo speakers with subwoofer. The weight is kept at 800 g without battery which makes the device ultra-portable. The battery life of around 6 hours of WiFi browsing is good. Any other usage besides this will pose a challenge as the device is just not powerful enough.
Intel HD Graphics 4200: Processor graphics card in some of the ULV Haswell CPUs with 20 EUs (GT2).
Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.
4012Y: Haswell-based ULV dual-core processor clocked at 1.5 GHz (no Turbo Boost). Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4200 and a dual channel DDR3 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
This screen diagoal is quite large for tablets but small for subnotebooks. Some convertibles are also represented with that size.
Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
This weight is typical for small tablets.

Tuning of silicon-on-insulator ring resonators with liquid crystal cladding using the longitudinal field component.
2054 - 2056.
We show tuning of he resonance wavelength of silicon-on-insulator microring resonators with liquid crystal cladding. The electro-optic effect of the liquid crystal causes a decrease in effective refractive index for the TE-polarized light in the waveguides. Tuning of the liquid crystal birefringence affects primarily the longitudinal component of the electric field. We achieve a tuning range of 0.6 nm. Through simulation and experiment we perform a thorough study of this phenomenon. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America

On September 8, 2016, Ontario employers will have much more to deal with under health and safety legislation.
Bill 132, An Act to amend various statutes with respect to sexual violence, sexual harassment, domestic violence and related matters, received royal assent on March 8, 2016. The bill expands the definition of workplace harassment under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) to explicitly include sexual harassment. It also imposes significant new obligations on employers with respect to implementing policies and programs, and conducting workplace harassment investigations. The changes come into effect on September 8.
There is recent guidance – a Code of Practice – from the Ministry of Labour intended to help employers navigate their new and often complex obligations. Published just this month, the Code of Practice consists of four parts, each of which identifies measures employers may adopt to meet their OHSA workplace harassment obligations. Of note, employers may choose to adhere to one or all four parts of the Code of Practice. If an employer chooses to adhere to a part of the code, it must adopt and adhere to all the practices contained in that part to be deemed in compliance with the OHSA workplace harassment provisions referred to in that part.
Adopting the Code of Practice is not mandatory and several practices set out in the code would appear to go beyond the statutory obligations imposed on employers by the OHSA. Accordingly, failure to comply with certain practices in the code may not be a breach of the OHSA workplace harassment provisions. As the Ministry of Labour states, “The Code of Practice is just one way in which employers can meet the legal requirements regarding workplace harassment.”
Workplace harassment policy
OHSA Section 32.0.1 sets out an employer’s obligation with respect to preparing, reviewing and posting a written workplace harassment policy. Part I of the Code of Practice provides examples of conduct that constitutes workplace harassment and practices for preparing the written workplace harassment policy.
The code augments the OHSA requirements, including by requiring the policy to be dated and signed “by the highest level of management of the employer or at the workplace (e.g., President, CEO, Senior Human Resources Professional or the uppermost member of management at the workplace).” Further, to comply with Part I of the Code of Practice, the policy must provide information about “other resources” for a worker to seek help to address workplace harassment including, for example, the “Human Rights Legal Support Centre or employee assistance program, as appropriate.”
Workplace harassment program
Part II includes practices related to reporting and handling workplace harassment complaints, investigation standards and record-keeping requirements.
As noted in the Code of Practice, and consistent with the requirements in OHSA section 32.0.6, it is important for workers to be able to report workplace harassment to a person who will objectively address the complaint. Accordingly, the person who receives a workplace harassment complaint should not be under the alleged harasser’s direct control. An alternate person must be designated to receive a complaint or be notified of an incident if the employer or supervisor is the alleged harasser. The employer also has a duty to consult with the joint health and safety committee or the health and safety representative (if any), as it develops and maintains the workplace harassment program.
Employer’s duties concerning workplace harassment
Part III of the Code of Practice sets out the elements of an appropriate investigation into a workplace harassment complaint, including the duty under the OHSA to report the results of the investigation in writing to both the complainant and the alleged harasser.
While OHSA section 32.0.7 requires an employer to ensure an investigation into incidents and complaints of workplace harassment is “appropriate in the circumstances,” it does not impose or suggest a timeframe for completing the investigation. By contrast, Part III of the Code of Practice states the investigation must be completed within a timeframe of 90 calendar days or less, unless there are extenuating circumstances warranting a longer investigation. The Ministry of Labour cites “more than five witnesses” and “key witness unavailable due to illness” as examples of such extenuating circumstances. Employers who voluntarily adopt the Code of Practice must adhere to the 90-day timeline practice, as well as all other practices in Part III to be considered compliant with that part of the code.
Providing information and instruction on a workplace harassment policy and program
OHSA Section 32.0.7 requires an employer to provide workers with “information and instruction that is appropriate for the worker on the contents of the policy and program with respect to workplace harassment.”
Part IV of the Code of Practice provides practical guidance on how to meet this duty, for example, by requiring employers to provide all workers covered by the OHSA with information on what conduct is considered workplace harassment, as well as training to assist workers in knowing what conduct is unwelcome in the workplace. To comply with Part IV, the employer must give supervisors and managers additional information and instruction, including how to handle a workplace harassment complaint. Investigators must receive information and instruction on how to conduct an investigation appropriate in the circumstances and how to convey information to workers about the contents of their workplace harassment policy and program.
The Code of Practice also provides a template workplace harassment policy, program and investigation plan as further guidance materials.
As stated above, employers’ expanded obligations under the OHSA with respect to workplace harassment will take effect on September 8, 2016.

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard is looking to play two consecutive games for the first time this season and will once again be on a pitch count Sunday against the New England Patriots.
After making his second return from injury in Week 8, Leonard played 39% of the snaps against the Washington Commanders. Head coach Frank Reich told the media Friday that Leonard would see a similar pitch count.
“Shaq will be on a pitch count,” Reich said. “Same as last week.”
When it comes to Leonard’s limited snaps, there isn’t necessarily a set number. He didn’t get on the field for the first time until the second quarter during the Week 8 loss to the Commanders and wound up splitting time with Bobby Okereke.
The Colts defense has been solid this season, ranking 14th in DVOA and sixth in rush DVOA, according to Football Outsiders.
Leonard has missed the majority of the season working his way back from offseason back surgery and then again after he suffered a concussion and broken nose in Week 4, which forced him to miss the following three games.
The Colts need to get their star linebacker on the field for the entirety of games, but it’s clear they’re taking the process slow to ensure he doesn’t wind up back on the sidelines with another injury.

This is a photo of Tamarindo from the air. Tamarindo beach and town are in the foreground, and Langosta beach is at the top right of the photo.
I took this photo on my first visit to Tamarindo about three years ago. That is the only time that I have flown directly to Tamarindo (on a commuter flight from San Jose). Thus, this was my only opportunity to take a photo of the area from a plane. (I have flown to the international airport in Liberia on all of my subsequent trips.) Today, there would be more condo buildings visible in a comparable photo because of the building boom of recent years.
I hope this photo gives a perspective on the broad, crescent shaped beach at Tamarindo and the location of Tamarindo and Langosta. People who are interested in renting our condo directly on the ocean at Langosta Beach will sometimes ask if it is possible to walk to the center of Tamarindo from Langosta. As this photo shows, it is a pleasant walk and a very comfortable distance, walking along either the road or along the beach.
I apologize for the angle of the photo, but I was in a small plane and the plane was banking to land at Tamarindo airport at the time.

Men with deep voice may be lacking in sperm: study
(Medical Xpress) -- Women look for tall, dark and handsome. Those chiseled features and that deep sexy voice have gained the attention of women for generations. However, a new study published in PLoS ONE shows that those men with high-pitched voices may be better when it comes to mating.
The study, led by evolutionary biologist Leigh Simmons from the University of Western Australia looked at 54 heterosexual men between the ages of 18 and 32 and 30 heterosexual women from a local college campus.
The researchers recorded the voices of the men and then had the female participants rate the voices in terms of masculinity and attractiveness. As expected, the majority of the women voted the deep voices more attractive.
Next, the researchers had each male participant provide a semen sample to the lab. Each sample was entered into a sperm-analysis system which rated the sperm on its ability to swim toward a females egg. They also examined sperm count.
The results of the analysis showed that the men with deeper voices produced ejaculate with fewer sperm cells than the men with higher pitched voices.
The research suggests that the link between deep voices and a decline in sperm may be an evolutionary trade-off. Traits such as the deep voice which tend to be associated with success and dominance are traded for a low sperm count. While testosterone does play a role in the creation of sperm, too much can impair sperm production.
While those men with the deeper voices did show lower sperm counts than the other men participating, all sperm counts measured in the study were within healthy parameters.
More information: Simmons LW, Peters M, Rhodes G (2011) Low Pitched Voices Are Perceived as Masculine and Attractive but Do They Predict Semen Quality in Men? PLoS ONE 6(12): e29271. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0029271
Women find masculinity in men's faces, bodies, and voices attractive, and women's preferences for men's masculine features are thought to be biological adaptations for finding a high quality mate. Fertility is an important aspect of mate quality. Here we test the phenotype-linked fertility hypothesis, which proposes that male secondary sexual characters are positively related to semen quality, allowing females to obtain direct benefits from mate choice. Specifically, we examined women's preferences for men's voice pitch, and its relationship with men's semen quality. Consistent with previous voice research, women judged lower pitched voices as more masculine and more attractive. However men with lower pitched voices did not have better semen quality. On the contrary, men whose voices were rated as more attractive tended to have lower concentrations of sperm in their ejaculate. These data are more consistent with a trade off between sperm production and male investment in competing for and attracting females, than with the phenotype-linked fertility hypothesis.

Group Seeks Missouri Ballot Measure Limiting Loans
JEFFERSON CITY (AP) - A group of community and religious leaders is proposing a Missouri ballot measure that would effectively limit the cost of payday loans.
The secretary of state's office on Tuesday approved the wording of a proposed ballot summary, allowing supporters to begin a petition drive to put the question on a statewide ballot.
The proposal would cap interest, fees and charges for payday and car title loans at 36 percent per year. Critics of payday lending often point out that the annual interest on such loans can top 400 percent.
Jim Bryan is the treasurer of Missourians for Responsible Lending. Bryan says capping the cost of short-term loans is a matter of right and wrong.
But critics say the proposal would make it harder for some Missourians to get credit.

[Ip-health] News release: Bill C-393 -- Commons sense versus obstructionism and excuses during today's Parliamentary debate

Bill C-393: Common sense versus obstructionism and excuses during today's Parliamentary debate
We would like to thank those MPs who rose in the House of Commons today to speak to Bill C-393, a critical humanitarian bill with the power to reform Canada's failed Access to Medicines Regime (CAMR) - and, most importantly, to save lives and end needless suffering worldwide. Thank you particularly to those who actively and vocally support Bill C-393, and who understand the rare opportunity before Canadian Parliament to enact meaningful change on the world stage.
We are compelled to refute the gross inaccuracy put forward today by certain MPs that CAMR works - ". . . though not with the speed and efficiency many . . . would want" - and does not need changing. One licence to export one drug to one country one time only, over the course of six years, does not even come close to constituting success. In fact, when one considers the millions who have died of treatable illness since CAMR was first passed in 2004, it is profoundly disrespectful to label CAMR anything but an abysmal failure. Successful legislation is legislation that works in real-world practice, which is what Bill C-393 will accomplish by streamlining and strengthening CAMR.
We also call into serious question the proposed four-year "sunset clause" amendment now before Parliament, which is prohibitively short - particularly in any development context - and will severely limit the potential of Bill C-393 to do real-world good. Indeed, the very idea that we would revert to an unworkable and broken CAMR - the CAMR we have now - seems counter to what Bill C-393 is trying to accomplish. In four years, people will continue to require life-saving drugs; their needless suffering is not subject to any "sunset clause" whatsoever.
Finally, while the issue of transfer of sponsorship did not surface today in the House, there is still no commitment from the Conservative Party that they will allow this procedural technicality to take place without instance. The Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network, and Canadians across this country ask again for this assurance that democracy will prevail and that Bill C-393 will be allowed to go to a final vote.
With more than 45 grandmothers in the Gallery today, along with numerous civil society supporters, we ask that MPs seriously consider the weight of Bill C-393, and seize the opportunity to make real change for mothers, children and communities worldwide. Now is the time to keep our original pledge to the developing world; the entire world is watching.

Another Slice of Reality
"What we ordinarily call "reality" is merely that slice of total fact which our biological equipment, our linguistic heritage and our social conventions of thought and feeling make it possible for us to apprehend..."
- Aldous Huxley, Moksha
What is a tree? Of course, it depends on who you ask. To a cat it may be a safe place to climb up and take a snooze, to somebody caught in the rain or pounding sun it's a shelter, to a biologist it's a tall plant, a timber merchant potential wood, to some cultures it's a meeting and discussion place, and so on. So what is the actual tree itself? This example is used in Indian philosophy to remind as that what we think we know something is, is just an opinion based on what our eyes can see (we don't even think about the vast underground root system) and what our brain tells us, it can be different for everyone.
In the above quote Huxley goes on to say that hallucinogens (e.g. LSD) allow us to 'cut another slice' of reality. We'll look at the role of mind-altering substances shortly, but first it's worth expanding on how biology, language and society shape our reality. Our 'biological equipment' not only refers to our senses, but how we act on them. It includes our survival instinct, which attracts us to things that might be to our advantage and makes us avoid that which might be harmful. On top of that we have our newer brain, our cerebral cortex, our social brain, which often conflicts with our 'subconscious' ancient brain. Much of our reality is spent in this biologically set tug-of-war; between desire and threat, praise and blame.
What about our 'linguistic heritage'? Language can be seen as a code, a set of written symbols and verbal sounds which we agree represent a certain thing - this is an apple, that's a lamp-post - so that we can understand each other. From there it explodes into increasingly complex structures which enable us to express and imagine all kinds of situations: potential ones, things that didn't happen but we wish had, and so on. This shapes our thinking, not always to the good: Regret and resentment anchor us to an unchangeable past. Could I regret or resent if I didn't have the word-structures to do it? And how much time do I spend 'monologuing' in my head, or imaging talking to (at) someone? At any given point am I perceiving reality directly, or am describing it in my head?
Then we have our social conventions: our laws and rules, our codes of behavior, morals etc. These don't necessarily affect what we perceive (though arguably they can), but they certainly affect how we perceive reality. There is nothing especially remarkable about a naked person - we're all naked under our clothes after all - but we'd probably freak out if one walked out the local Starbucks carrying a latte. Our social codes make an ordinary thing seem abnormal, and vice versa.
So language, society and biology all shape our reality. Yet, what choice did we have in any of this? The fact is, by the time we are old enough to make any meaningful decision regarding the above we have already been 'conditioned'. I don't mean to sound ungrateful: I'm glad I'm a human being, I'm happy I know a language, especially one so widely spoken, and grateful I live in a relatively civilized society. Our reality gets us by, it 'works'. Yet it doesn't stop some of us from wanting to know if there is more to it than that. And how many of us find this reality burdensome? How many seek diversion in box-sets or other escapes such as alcohol? Why do we need, in the words of Iain Banks, to 'get out of our heads' now and again?
Throughout history there has been a universal need to either escape this reality or seek new ones. The Vedantic, Yogic and Buddhist ideas of reality have been explored elsewhere, and all are subtly different, but one thread that runs through all these 'ways of liberation' is the realization that our 'reality' is shaped by our world - our biology, language and society. It is our karma, it is why we repeat the same patterns over and over again. Therefore one task of liberation is to accept this and then find ways to see beyond our conditioned and ego-centric mental reality.
In many Native American traditions the reality we perceive is but one layer - one dream - in a multitude of realities. In ceremonies this plane of existence can be transcended. This is usually under the guidance of a shaman, or medicine man or woman, or 'Road Man' (who 'shows the Road'). Often psychotropic medicine is used. I use the term medicine deliberately, as often these rituals have a healing intention. The hallucinogen is a sacrament rather than a drug, which guides the user to another reality for insight and healing.
In his book The Dancing Healers, Carl Hammerschlag, a doctor and psychiatrist who worked for the Indian Health Service in the 1960-80s, describes one such ceremony of the Native American Church (a kind of pan-Indian movement founded in Arizona in the late 19th Century). After entering the Tipi with a group of Indians, including a friend - Billy - who had advanced cancer and wanted to attend the 'Peyote Church', they are passed a bowl of mashed peyote, which they drink then shortly after vomit up. This is all part of the ritual, "...the songs, the drumbeat and the fire were all trance inducing, the medicine always works well when you come to it in truth."
After midnight when his friend spoke of his reasons for being at the ceremony the "..Road Man walked to the fire. Poking around in the ashes he picked up a glowing coal the size of a peach pit and placed it on a metal jar lid. He walked back to his seat; then, taking the coal from the lid, he placed it in his mouth... The Road Man saw the coal from some extraordinary consciousness as something that would not endanger him physically. The coal spoke to him... Using his cheeks as bellows, the road man sucked in air until the coal was white hot - we could see it illuminating the inside of his mouth."
"Then he leaned over and blew sparks right over Billy's neck and chest. Billy sat unflinching, transfixed in the magic.The Road Man took the coal out of his mouth, placed it back in the lid and carried it back to the fire. Returning to his seat, he picked up his cedar bag."
Hammerschlag does not attempt to explain away this vision. He simply states that "when you perceive things from an ordinary state of consciousness, you see only what you have already seen." Scientifically this is also true: our eyes perceive relatively small spots of visual information as it 'saccades' around, much of what we think we see is actually our brain filling in the picture - seeing what we have already seen. I wonder how true this is for our other senses.
The ceremony does not cure his friend's disease, but afterwards he told the doctor how he felt much stronger both physically, mentally and spiritually and was able to tie up various loose ends in his life before passing on. Recent research into mood/mind-altering compounds such as MDMA, LSD or psilocybin suggests they are effective in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and even helped patients with life-threatening illness overcome anxiety about death. One common feature of these experiences is that patients report how their sense of self or ego seems to dissolve and they feel a deep connection with the universe. Our self, our reality, our identity...our culture puts great importance on these things, but how much do we really need them?
Another ritual seen in Native American culture is the 'vision quest' where the initiate - often but not exclusively an adolescent - goes to live in isolation for a period of time (usually a few weeks). Often they will fast for a few days, sometimes a sacrament/hallucinogenic might be used, along with chanting and prayer. It is a way to transcend 'this' reality - to overcome physical needs, to exist without words, to get beyond the influence of others - and often insight will arise, often in a vision. Something similar has been practiced in Tibet for thousands of years, an initiation involving meditating in a cave - often in complete darkness - for days or even weeks, often resulting in vivid hallucinations, but with the purpose of gaining insight and purpose. Those of us who have ever daydreamed about going 'off the grid' are perhaps seeking something similar.
Ultimately however, I think we are able to attain a deeper perception without having to live in a cave, and it is possible to access other realities whether one uses chemical means or not. After all, what is meditation, if not a way to get 'beyond' the confines of our day-to-day, conditioned 'reality'? When I sit and pay attention to my breathing, or whatever is most vivid in my awareness, and when (if I am lucky) the thinking mind goes to the background, or drops away entirely, then I am already in a different reality. A deeper reality. I am in a reality without worry or judgment, without planning, without words or commentary, I'm in the zone: Where my mind is not thinking about the blue sky, or calling it 'blue', or thinking about how nice it is, or how I should be outdoors enjoying it... in such moments my mind is the blue sky. As the Zen phrase goes 'when red comes, there is red, when white comes, there is white.' If you haven't tried it already, it's worth a go.
