||All night I sat reading a book,
Sat reading as if in a book
An exemplary reader
Wallace Stevens (1879 - 1955) was a man with
two lives. A trained lawyer and a specialist in investment banking,
he enjoyed a successful business career and became vice president
of his company before he retired. Stevens was also renowned within
his lifetime as one of the greatest American poets of his generation.
His poetry reveals a man steeped in culture, with broad experience
of the world, able to produce deep philosophical insights. Yet he
had never left his home country and had spent most of his working
life behind a desk in an insurance office. We can speculate that
he had not been widely exposed to television and certainly he had
never surfed the net. His other life was lived in the imagination;
more precisely, it was spent in books. He was a reader.
Stevens gained his experience of the world outside
the confines of his office and his home through extensive reading.
In another Stevens poem, "The House was Quiet and the World
was Calm", he describes how the book is transformed from a
collection of printed words into actual experiences:
|The house was quiet and the world was calm.
|The reader became the book; and the summer night was like the conscious being of the book.2
This same kind of transformation is described by
another well known reader, one who claims to have been "built"
by books. For Spufford (2002), reading is not simply a matter of
decoding printed words, it is as if the print has magical powers
- "the furze of black marks between the covers of The Hobbit
grew lucid, and released a dragon."
Reading - a difficult choice
The power reading has to give us access to worlds
outside our own is well understood by readers who are already addicted.
However, access to those worlds is by no means easy, even for dedicated
readers. Compared to the ease with which we can enter the pre-formed
imagination of the digital world, the task is daunting. Even Spufford
admits that he has to urge himself on through works of real literature,
counting how many pages he has to read before the end, while the
' frictionless surfaces of genre fiction' provide easier food for
his reading compulsion. How many of us nowadays, can spare the energy
not to switch on the television, or the computer, but instead to
delve inside the covers of a book? How many of us, for example,
would prefer to allow our own imaginations to construct Middle Earth
by reading the 1000-page original work, rather than watching one
man's interpretation of The Lord of the Rings on the cinema screen?
Is reading for pleasure, in fact, dead? The writers
of a new book which takes as its sub-heading 'the pleasure of reading'
(Elkin, Train & Denham, 2003)4
do not think so.
Even in these days of the internet and technology
beyond our wildest dreams, the book remains the medium of choice
for millions of people for leisure reading, relaxation, escapism
and many other individual and intimate purposes...(p.1)
Turning Hong Kong pupils into dedicated readers
If we are going to help Hong Kong students become
'readers for pleasure' in this sense, we face a difficult task.
We have to introduce them to the treasures that await them in the
world of print and help them realise how much richer those treasures
are than anything they can find in the easy world of technology.
They have to be led into the magical land of books and their imaginations
allowed to flourish there, but their guide must be someone who has
travelled that land before.
The first step is for the teacher herself to become
a reader, a lover of books. One of the criticisms made of English
teachers in Hong Kong is that they do not see themselves as language
teachers, as a teacher of French, for example, would in an English
speaking country. If we sent our child to an international school
in Hong Kong for example, we would naturally expect the French teacher
to be someone who had studied French literature and was an avid
reader of French, one who relishes the subtle nuances of meaning,
the rich cadences of the language.
In Hong Kong, English is seen as a tool with limited
applications. Since the applications are essentially practical,
a practical approach is considered appropriate and sufficient. Adopting
a practical approach precludes unlocking the world of imagination
for young readers. But young people are full of imagination and
have huge potential for creativity; they are not fired with enthusiasm
for practical applications. Even if it could work, a utilitarian
approach to the teaching of reading for young people would produce
readers with practical skills who had been denied an opportunity
to develop in ways which would contribute immeasurably to their
A new direction
The recommendations of the new Curriculum Guide
for Key Stage One and Two point school-based language learning and
teaching in the right direction. Reading Workshops taking up 40%
of the English curriculum constitute the essential infrastructure
to support a new focus on reading development. The pedagogy of shared
reading and guided reading are essential skills for teachers to
acquire to ensure the effectiveness of the new initiative. These
measures help begin to solve the problem, but the key to the real
solution lies not in the infrastructure, but in the content of the
reading materials we provide.
In 1887, Anne Sullivan, the legendary teacher of Helen Keller, wrote
of the current state of education in the United States, that it
seemed "to be built up on the supposition that every child
is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think."5
If we look at the reading material which many young people are exposed
to in textbooks and readers we would be tempted to believe that
the same kind of supposition prevails.
The current state of the art
Let us look at what typifies reading material
for the middle primary range of pupils aged eight to nine. We can
speculate that the kinds of material readers of this age would have
been exposed to on television, on the internet, in comics and in
magazines would be relatively sophisticated and 'adult' in content.
Their own lives would have been already rich in aesthetic, emotional,
intellectual and experiential content. Pupils of this age would
be most receptive to reading input which could fire their imagination,
inspire them intellectually, appeal to their aesthetic appreciation,
provide them with emotional content they could identify with, feed
their creativity and stimulate them linguistically.
What we find being presented to young people of
this age in textbooks and accompanying readers typically provides
little or nothing to satisfy these appetites. Plots and storylines
are generally devoid of stimulation or interest; descriptive detail
is generally lacking;characters are wooden and faceless.In these
texts, opportunity for linguistic stimulus is forgone in favour
of mechanical repetitions of known forms. Only the blandest of language
is used throughout and it is generally manipulated to serve as a
model for reproduction irrespective of appropriateness to the genre,
or the plot. Emotional depth is deliberately excluded; suspense
and climax are rarely handled, but even these rare instances generally
rely on pictures, rather than language, to create their effect.
These texts lack aesthetic value and provide no stimulus to imagination
A dilemma and a challenge
|None of this
comes as a surprise, of course. In fact it only serves to underline
the dilemma we face in helping pupils make the transition from
learning to read English as a second language, to reading English
with confidence and enjoyment so that they can go on to read
English in order to learn. However, as far as English is concerned,
in Hong Kong we do not seem to be making a great deal of progress
in deliberately NOT treating every child as if he was "a
kind of idiot".
The challenge we face is to source reading
materials which are inspiring, rich in stimulation, texts which
acknowledge pupils as imaginative and creative beings, intelligent
despite any limitation in the amount of second language they bring
to the reading task.

The first thing to remember is that Walt Disney: 84 Fascinating Facts for Kids about Walt Disney is a kids book. So though many Between Books readers may read the book with a historical focus, it is important to remember who the audience is. And with that in mind, despite some issues, it may help young readers know more about Walt Disney and his life.
Walt Disney: 84 Fascinating Facts for Kids about Walt Disney by Colin Mitchell is exactly as advertised. There are 84 facts organized by theme in short sentences. The facts are numbered and range from the early life of Walt Disney, his animation years, the building of his theme park and death. They are all short and vary by the amount of detail provided.
Let us start with what I did not like. First, like many Kindle books (I downloaded this book for free) the margins at times are off. Some lines are indented deeper than others. Second, some of the facts caught my attention and I wanted more. For example, why did Ub Iwerks leave Disney employment? Yes I know, but a child might also like to know Iwerks' next steps. Third, there are additional editing concerns like not putting film titles in italics, putting them in quotes like they were shorts. Fourth, there is a lack of balance in the facts. For example the animation strike receives eight facts for an event that was relatively short but Disneyland only gets six. And finally there are factual inaccuracies. For example Mitchell states that Walt Disney had hired Lillian Bounds (the future Mrs. Disney) to ink his sketches. Actually, Bounds was working on animated films and never sketched anything specifically drawn by Walt. And the entire chapter titled Kansas provides facts about Walt Disney in Kansas City. The Kansas City metro straddles both Missouri and Kansas with Disney having lived on the Missouri side of the metropolitan area.
Despite me finding fault in Walt Disney: 84 Fascinating Facts for Kids About Walt Disney, I do think that the book could make a child more interested in Walt Disney the man. I do wish that the factual errors were corrected, so I do not know if I would pay for this title. But for free, it could make one curious.

When Trey Songz was around last week for Coke Studio Season 4, he got to spend some time with Vanessa Mdee.
She was spotted hanging out quite a bit with the American superstar ;people started speculating that the two had a thing for each other.The photos made people believe that Vanessa was cheating on her Tanzanian boyfriend Jux with the super fine Trey.
Well now Vanessa is speaking up about the hideous rumors.
Speaking to Bongo 5 she cleared everything up
The video and pictures going around are misinterpreted, I worked for MTV and had met Trey before, we were cool then and are cool now. I respect him, Juma and all our fans.”
Being a female artist in Africa, people are always waiting for any opportunity to tarnish ones image, and disregard years of hard work and success. Watch this space am about to give them more. Kazi tu.”
There you have it, ain’t nothing wrong with a girl having fun with a fellow artist. What most people seem to have forgotten is that when Mdee was working as a VJ for MTV, she go the chance to meet Trey, so they two obviously had some rapport.

Another animation project completed and online! This time it’s a promotional cartoon for The Wishing Well Series’ crowd-funding campaign on Pozible.com.
This is the third short animation I have made in less than 12 months and the learning curve keeps on looping upwards! I have really enjoyed the challenge and problem-solving involved in working on such diverse projects in a relatively short space of time.
For the first time, the main characters, script and general style were provided by my client, so I was entirely focused on creating the animation itself. Apart from my initial storyboard, all the art for this cartoon was drawn entirely within Photoshop with a wacom tablet, a first for me. I love pencil and paper, but the speedier digital work-flow made me a lot more efficient. Once my client and I were happy with the rough animatic, I adapted the drawing style of Poppy and Bob (originally very clean vector images) to something I could more closely replicate with my own, scratchier-textured tablet drawings, before expanding on their expressions and movements from the static source illustrations. Then I moved on to creating all the secondary characters in a consistent style, which was great fun: designing new characters is one of my favorite things! On this project I utilized and honed many of the skills I developed in my last two animation projects, as well as trying some brand-new (to me) tools; coming to know Creative Suite far better than ever before… PUPPET PIN TOOL, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE!??
I also managed to sneak a little roller derby into this project… I couldn’t resist!

Most people think that only metal or glass can go in the oven. But what about silicone? Can it withstand the high heat? Interestingly, silicone has a very high melting point, so it can handle temperatures up to 446 degrees Fahrenheit. That means it can definitely go in the oven! In fact, many silicone baking mats or pans are specifically designed for use in ovens.
So if you're looking for a versatile cooking surface that can handle high heat, silicone is a great option. Just be sure to check your oven's temperature limit before using such bakeware. And always use caution when handling hot silicone products.
Do you put silicone bakeware directly on the oven rack
Some people argue that heat can cause the material to melt and damage your food, while others claim that such concerns are overblown and that silicone products can be used without issue. Ultimately, the answer depends on several factors, including the quality of your bakeware and the temperature at which you cook.
It is usually preferable to place a baking sheet or another type of heat-resistant surface between your bakeware and the heat source. This will help to ensure even cooking and prevent any accidents. Furthermore, if you do experience any issues with your bakeware, it is a good idea to inspect it for signs of damage before using it again. Overall, by taking these precautions you can safely enjoy all the benefits of using silicone products without worrying about potential risks down the road.
Is silicone bakeware better than metal
Many people have strong opinions about silicone bakeware versus metal bakeware, but the truth is that there is no clear-cut winner. On one hand, silicone cookware offers some distinct advantages over metal, such as its flexibility and non-stick properties. This makes silicone easier to work with, allowing bakers to create everything from delicate pastries to chewy cookies without worrying about pieces breaking or sticking to the pan.
In contrast, metal tends to heat faster and more evenly than silicone, making it ideal for things like crispy pizza crusts or golden brown cakes. Ultimately, then, the choice between silicone and metal really depends on your individual needs and preferences as a baker. Whether you go for one or the other will depend on what types of dishes you typically make in your kitchen. So if you're someone who loves making homemade donuts on a Sunday morning or just can't get enough of gingerbread during the holidays, then choosing between silicone and metal really comes down to personal taste. At the end of the day, both options are sure to result in some mouthwatering results!
Does silicone bakeware take longer to bake
Some people worry that silicone takes longer to bake than other materials. While it is true that it has a lower heat conductivity than metal, this difference is relatively small. In most cases, such bakeware will only add a few minutes to the baking time. Moreover, the even distribution of heat ensures that food is cooked evenly, making it worth the extra few minutes in the oven. So if you're looking for an easy-to-use material that will produce consistent results, silicone is a great option.
What temperature to bake cake in silicone pan
When it comes to baking, temperature is key. If your oven is too hot, your cake will be dry and overcooked. Too low, and it will be gooey and underdone. So, what's the perfect temperature to bake a cake in a silicone pan? Do they bake faster? The answer may surprise you. While most recipes call for baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, the ideal temperature for a silicone pan is actually 300 degrees. This lower temperature ensures that your cake will be moist and fluffy, with a perfect crumb. So next time you're tempted to turn up the heat, remember that lower is better when you're baking in silicone.
Can you use silicone bakeware in a gas oven
While traditional metal pans are perfectly suitable for use in an electric or conventional oven, some people may be wondering whether silicone ones can be used in a gas oven. In general, the answer to this question is yes – silicone bakeware can definitely be used in a gas oven. Because of its flexibility, the material responds very well to changes in temperature and can easily withstand the high temperatures typically found in a gas oven. What's more, because the material is non-toxic and food-grade, there are no concerns about toxic chemicals being released during cooking.
What is the maximum temperature for silicone bakeware
And how hot can silicone bakeware get? The short answer is that the temperature range varies depending on the quality of the material and the design of the individual piece. Factors such as thickness, layer configuration, density, and additives can all influence a silicone muffin pan's maximum bake temperature. Generally speaking, however, the material can withstand temperatures of up to 446 degrees Fahrenheit.
Do you need to spray silicone pans
No, you do not need to spray them with any kind of coating in order to use them effectively. Silicone is naturally non-stick, so it does not require any special treatment to ensure that the food you place inside will release without issue. In addition, the flexible material makes it very pliable and easy to use. This means that you can easily fill the molds from all sides, minimizing air bubbles and other imperfections in your creations. Overall, there is no need to worry about spraying your bakeware with anything extra when using silicone for quick, easy, and effective results. So go ahead and start crafting those delicious treats!
Quiche recipe that you can try with a silicone pan
Quiche is a savory French dish that is typically made with eggs, milk, and cheese. It can also be made with vegetables, meat, or seafood. It is a versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The best quiches are made with high-quality ingredients and a flaky crust. This classic silicone round pan from Cook'n'Chic made of top-quality siliconePRIME™ is perfect for this recipe.
- 6 tablespoons sour cream
- 1/2 cup finely diced onion
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
- 1 cup broccoli
- To start, you will need eggs to act as the base of your quiche. Along with eggs, add milk, sour cream to help give your quiche a rich and creamy texture.
- From there, add in the fillings: diced vegetables, cheese, and spices. Mix everything together.
- Transfer the mixture into a silicone mold.
- Bake your quiche in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 40 minutes or until the crust is lightly golden brown and the filling has set.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving it with a green salad for a light meal or with roasted potatoes for a heartier meal.

In 1966 I heard a song on the radio that propelled me to the record store to find the album. The song was the #15 “Talk Talk” by the Music Machine and it knocked me out. It was so different that I insisted my band learn several of their songs. That’s how I discovered that this unique band was tuning their guitars to D-Flat rather than the standard E, giving them a thick, bass heavy sound. They also used a homemade fuzz-box and other techniques to create their sound. They influenced many bands that followed them including the Doors and Iron Butterfly. Perhaps they were too early with their sound, they had two top 20 hits and then dropped out of sight. Today they are remembered as true rock pioneers, but their songs are forgotten oldies… “Talk Talk” deserves better.

The LTC6373 from Analog Devices is a precision instrumentation amplifier with fully differential outputs which includes a closely matched internal resistor network to achieve excellent common mode rejection ratio (CMRR), offset voltage, gain error, gain drift, and gain nonlinearity.
The device allows easy user programmability of the gain to one of seven available settings through a 3-bit parallel interface (A2 to A0). An 8th state puts the part in shutdown which reduces the current consumption to 220μA. Unlike a conventional voltage feedback amplifier, the LTC6373 maintains nearly the same bandwidth across all its gain settings.
The LTC6373 features fully differential outputs to drive high performance, differential-input ADCs. The output common mode voltage is independently adjustable via the VOCM pin. The combination of high impedance inputs, DC precision, low noise, low distortion, and high-speed differential ADC drive makes the LTC6373 an ideal candidate for optimizing data acquisition systems.
The LTC6373 is supported by the DC2398A evaluation board, this circuit allows the user to control the amplifier gain in several ways, such as by simply setting onboard jumpers or by connecting an Arduino or Linduino (DC2026A) microcontroller board. The LTC6373 has fully differential outputs with independent common mode level shifting and the output common mode level can be set by the IC’s internal default or overdriven by the user.
The LTC6373 is available in a 12-lead 4mm × 4mm DFN (LFCSP) package and is fully specified over the −40°C to 125°C temperature range.

St. Cyril's ChurchKyiv, Ukraine
4.7 / 15
St. Cyril's Church is an incredible place filled with art and a gorgeous atmosphere. It's a must-see for anyone visiting Kyiv, especially for those interested in Ukrainian history, culture, or Christian religion. The church boasts preserved original fresco paintings from the 12th century, which are absolutely breathtaking. Additionally, it houses original paintings by Vrubel from the 19th century. Many visitors recommend taking a tour with a guide to fully appreciate the church's beauty. The second floor of the church is also worth a visit, as it offers a closer look at the Transfiguration painting on the ceiling. Despite its beauty and historical significance, St. Cyril's Church is often overlooked by tourists, making it a peaceful and calm place to visit. However, it is important to note that the church is located a little outside of the city center and requires a metro and trolleybus ride. Nevertheless, the journey is well worth it, as you will be greeted with a monastery and church that dates back to the Kievan Rus' period. The Ukrainian Baroque facade from the 18th century adds to the architectural beauty of the church. The staff and clerics at St. Cyril's Church have unfortunately received negative feedback for being rude and physically harassing parishioners. Finally, it is interesting to note that this unique church is situated in the middle of a mental clinic, adding to its unusual and intriguing nature.

GEEK FORCE FIVE Goes Monthly
The previously announced publication schedule for Geek Force Five has been impacted, as I hope you can understand, by the death of my grandmother. But productivity has not been stalled on the GF5 front. Far from it, in fact.
Back in May, just before Grandma’s passing, I visited Kboards, a Kindle enthusiasts message board, to speak with the authors there about their best practices for increasing sales and visibility. I took away some valuable lessons from the conversations I had, and it’s come time to apply those lessons learned to Geek Force Five.
That is why I am proud to announce that, beginning in June, Geek Force Five is going monthly. Instead of five stories per issue, we will focus on one; instead of charging $3.99 per issue, we will charge $0.99; and instead of paying 10% of the profits to the author, since now there will be only one author featured per issue, we will pay 70%.
My first hope is that, with a lower price/barrier to entry, more folks will be encouraged to check out the stories we’re selecting. My second hope is that, with a higher volume of works under the Geek Force Five banner, each of them more focused on one story (and therefore one genre), we’ll stand more of a chance of attracting a diverse audience who will then consider picking up other issues.
Down the line, my hope is to raise enough money through Clarkwoods’ 30% cut that we can reinstate the five-story version of Geek Force Five as an annual anthology of the best stuff published in the monthly edition, complete with the $50 upfront payment we began with a year ago.
A side-note related to that front: Clarkwoods will forfeit its share of all Geek Force Five profits until we have paid out $50 to each of the contributors from Volume Two and Volume Three (Volume One contributors have already received their $50 upfront payment and will be receiving 10% of the profits from copies of their issue sold.)

Frost all around. Steam rising from every surface, creating a mist that hovers in the low places. So beautiful… and cold.
I think of the man with his pack sitting on the park bench last night on my way home. I hope he was only waiting for a ride and not planning to spend the night there. I wondered that on my way by.
I wondered it again this morning. My heart goes out to anyone who has to struggle to spend a night in weather like this. Although it’s a naive hope, I wish no one had to, that every single soul was able to find warm lodging, that no one was left, literally, out in the cold, on a night like this past one.
I wonder what difference it would make, if it would change even one life, if I went out and bought a sleeping bag or a blanket and found someone who needed it. I wonder at the circumstances that have led me to be where I am and the homeless woman to be where she is, and I marvel at the seeming randomness of it all, at my immense privilege to be the one sitting in a warm place, wondering.
And feeling unworthy of all I have been given, I breathe a prayer: Thank you, God, for my unmerited blessing.

End of the Orchid Season
In Nelson, orchids are left outside most of the year. When the flower buds start to grow, you could bring the pots inside the house to hurry the growth; if you do this, they will flower from around May/June up to about this time of the year. If you leave the pots outside to let the buds grow naturally, they flower from around September to after Christmas. This year, for the first time, I did the former, so we're looking at the end of the orchid season. We had a good run this year, after I split the bulbs two years ago; I have something like eight pink cymbidiums in two sizes, and this year added a yellow one and a white one.

PHOENIX — Don Baylor knows a little something about getting hit by a pitch. He was right on top of the plate when he batted and paid for it, being hit 267 times. Call Baylor old school, but he longs for the days when a batter was not chastised for occasionally seeking immediate justice.
Baylor was not afraid to take matters into his own hand during his 19-year career, and he vividly remembers charging control artists John Denny and Dennis Leonard, among others.
“John Denny … was a head-hunter,” said Baylor, now the Diamondbacks hitting coach.
Charlie Hough hit Baylor seven times, Jim Beatttie five. Bud Black got him four times.
Baylor had a general rule that covered when to retaliate.
“Anything that was above here, I was going most of the time,” Baylor said, holding his left hand at shoulder level. “The pitcher, whatever the intent is, he is the first to know what he wants to do.”
Baylor was asked about the subject before a game against the Dodgers on Friday, a day after San Diego outfielder Carlos Quentin charged L.A. right-hander Zack Greinke after being hit by a pitch. Greinke suffered a broken left collarbone in the collision with Quentin.
Quentin was suspened for eight games on Friday by MLB. He has appealed the ban, leaving the potential that he could play Monday in Los Angeles when the Padres meet the Dodgers.
Getting hit by a pitch “was part of the game,” said Baylor, who played from 1970-88.
“I don’t know what the big deal is. Now they are taking away the hard slide, breaking up double plays. They want to take away the only thing a hitter can defend himself with. When I got hit, I’d go down there and take somebody out. Now, you can’t do it.

The Hanoi human rights activist has yet to face trial despite being arrested for a full year.
April 7th marks one year since activist Nguyen Thuy Hanh, founder of the 50k Foundation, was arrested.
She was accused under the charge of “making, storing, distributing or propagating information, documents, and items aimed at opposing the State of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam” under Article 117 of the Penal Code.
It has been 12 months since her arrest, but the activist is still in temporary detention for investigation, the most difficult period for political prisoners.
In an interview with Radio Free Asia, lawyer Nguyen Van Dai, who has been imprisoned twice for political crimes, said the challenges political prisoners face during detention:
“For dissidents or opposition activists in Vietnam, they are often arrested for political crimes, for example, article 88 before is now 107, 79 is now 109.
Then, according to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, they prevent attorneys from accessing clients, secondly, not allow to see the family during the investigation process.
So this is a time when they put a lot of pressure on the detainees. It doesn’t matter if the guards treat me according to the law, but they do everything to make them angry, no matter what. From eating raw rice, eating stale rice, stale soup, adding soap to the soup or they use all means to suppress their spirit.
They don’t have a family member to express that to, can’t tell their family member to pass it on to their friends or put it on social media and send it to the international community. So the person being detained during that period is extremely frustrating, very uncomfortable, many people can’t stand it, it can lead to depression.”
According to information from her family, activist Nguyen Thuy Hanh herself suffered from severe depression before her arrest. They were therefore concerned that her condition would worsen under conditions of detention in the detention camp.
Talking to RFA, Huynh Ngoc Chenh, the husband of this activist, said:
“When she was arrested, Ms. Hanh was suffering from severe depression and was being treated by a doctor in Saigon. After a while, the detention camp sent drugs to Ms. Hanh. Recently, I heard that in January, they took Ms. Hanh to a mental hospital for a medical assessment for a month, and then sent her back to the camp. But the investigating agency did not inform the family, only the patient in that hospital knew Ms. Hanh, so she called to inform them that Ms. Hanh was there. The family is completely unaware of how Ms. Hanh’s health is.”
Attorney Nguyen Van Dai said that the investigation agency’s refusal to allow political prisoners to meet their attorneys and relatives during the investigation had no other purpose but to punish these people, he added:
“You have to understand the nature of the Communist dictatorship in Vietnam, when they arrest opponents or dissidents, the purpose of depriving freedom is only a part, but the purpose of punishing physically as well as mentally is the main goal.
Because like I said, if they treat me in prison according to their legal purity, let alone better, then I’m not afraid of going to jail.
However, if they want to prevent me from seeing my family, not allowing me to see an attorney to suppress, oppress, and torture me mentally, so that I can finish my prison sentence later, I don’t have enough energy, reasons to nurture ideals and fight for my ideals anymore .”
The case of activist Nguyen Thuy Hanh is not unique in long-term detention, security agencies in Vietnam often prolong detention for cases with political elements.
Vietnamese law allows extending the detention period until the end of the investigation process for cases with particularly serious “national security” elements, which do not have a specific timeline.
International human rights organizations such as Amnesty International have widely condemned this practice, calling it torture.

Labour MEP for Munster, and former nurse and midwife at Waterford Regional Hospital, Phil Prendergast, has announced her opposition to any downgrading of services at the facility in Ardkeen in Waterford.
Speaking from Brussels Ms Prendergast said “In 1978 I began my training as a nurse in WRH, and worked at the facility for a number of years. I am acutely aware of the importance of this facility not just for the people of Waterford, but for the whole of the South-East region. As a medical professional I could not stand over any decision to downgrade the facility as I know the harm it would cause patients.
“I am aware from experience that the standard of care provided by staff at the hospital is exemplary. Over the years, millions of euro has been invested in the facility particularly in the upgrading of cancer care and palliative care services.
“If this hospital is downgraded I worry what would happen to these services, and whether the significant investments made would go to waste. If a patient has to travel from the South-East to Kilkenny or Cork to get the treatment they need, their safety will be compromised, and ultimately it will cost lives.
“I have sought a meeting with Minister Reilly as soon as possible to discuss this critical issue. I also plan on engaging with the medical professionals and concerned individuals on the ground to oppose every step of the way, any move to downgrade services”, she said.

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas père
Selected by Group Pick
The Count of Monte Cristo (French: Le Comte de Monte-Cristo) is an adventure novel by Alexandre Dumas, père. It is often considered to be, along with The Three Musketeers, Dumas’ most popular work. The writing of the work was completed in 1844. Like many of his novels, it is expanded from the plot outlines suggested by his collaborating ghostwriter Auguste Maquet. The story takes place in France, Italy, islands in the Mediterranean and the Levant during the historical events of 1815–1838 (from just before the Hundred Days through to the reign of Louis-Philippe of France). The historical setting is a fundamental element of the book. It is an adventure story primarily concerned with themes of hope, justice, vengeance, mercy and forgiveness.

BOOK REVIEW: Trouble Twisters
Author: Garth Nix and Sean Williams
Publisher: Allen & Unwin
Release Date: May 2011
The first book of a major fantasy series from New York Times bestselling authors Garth Nix and Sean Williams, in which twins find that they must act as wards against a threatening evil.
'Come to us, Troubletwisters, join us ... welcome, most welcome!'
When their home mysteriously explodes around their ears, twins Jack and Jaide are sent to stay with a grandmother they have never met, in a town they have never heard of. Portland might seem boring and quiet, but it soon becomes apparent that Grandma X is more than a little eccentric, and there are very strange happenings in the town. Talking cats, swarms of cockroaches, a miniature tornado trashing their room - the twins are about to find out what it means to be a troubletwister!
About Garth Nix and Sean Williams
Garth Nix is best known for his award-winning fantasies Sabriel, Lirael and Abhorsen and the seven books of the Keys to the Kingdom series. His books have appeared on the bestseller lists of the New York Times, Publishers Weekly, the Guardian, the Sunday Times and the Australian. Garth lives in Sydney with his wife and two sons.
Sean Williams is best known for his award-winning space opera series and is the number-one New York Times-best-selling author of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. He is also the author of the Broken Land trilogy for young adults and the Books of the Change. Sean lives in Adelaide with his wife and family.
Troubletwisters is the first in a new series by authors Garth Nix and Sean Williams. The book will appeal to YA fantasy addicts, such as fans of Suzanne Collins' Gregor the Overlander series. Troubletwister is a enjoyable read about twins Jack and Jaide as they embark on a journey that changes their lives. Forced to go live with their Grandma after their house is ruined and that’s where the story really gets going. They two characters are just fantastic, they are very likeable. They are very swift in their instincts and soon realise that there is something about Grandma X and they are resolute to find out what. Jaide is the more outgoing type always trying to get Jack to explore when they know they shouldn't.
This is one great first book in a series that I can see being very popular with the YA market.

Swamp Thing, a fictional character, is a plant elemental in the DC Comics Universe originally created by Len Wein and Berni Wrightson. He first appeared in House of Secrets #92 (July 1971) in a stand-alone horror story set in the early 20th century (plotted by Wein and drawn by Wrightson). The Swamp Thing was then reprised in his own series, set in the contemporary world and in the general DC continuity. The character is a humanoid mass of vegetable matter who fights to protect his swamp home, the environment in general, and humanity from various supernatural or terrorist threats.
The character found perhaps his greatest popularity during the 1980s and early '90s. Outside of an extensive comic book history, the Swamp Thing property has inspired two theatrical films, a live-action television series, and a five-part animated series among other media.
The Swamp Thing has appeared in four comic book series to date, including several specials, and has crossed over into other DC titles. The first Swamp Thing series ran for 24 issues, from 1972 to 1976.
Len Wein was the writer for the first 13 issues before David Michelinie and Gerry Conway finished up the series. Of particular note,...

Hello and Welcome Recovery Friends and Visitors,
"It's has been some time since I have posted an update about all the 'happenings' that I have been involved with in regards to my recovery from gambling addiction, sharing a little about my mental health challenges, and my recovery writing. I really try hard to get over here and blog for all of you as often as I can. So I thought, with all the new "hats" I have been wearing lately, I would bring you all up to date. Lol.
So I will start by sharing my new and improved Author Bio which explains some of the new and exciting things that have been "blessings" and new opportunities in my recovery journey. I feel sharing is a way to show that when you work hard on your recovery, the rewards can be many!"
Catherine Townsend-Lyon is the best selling TKG author of her shocking debut book titled; "Addicted To Dimes, Confessions of a Liar and a Cheat." Both are an in-depth raw, and without prose look inside gambling addiction as she takes readers on a journey of other topics that 'touched' her life, starting as a little girl into adulthood. Some children are not raised in an "angelic environment." Book is available in paperback and ebook on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Addicted Minds.
She had taken a dark path, trying to elude the past childhood pain of those traumatic events. She began using gambling as a coping skill and escape into a "dream world" to forget, if only for a few hours from the haunting memories of her childhood sex abuse, parental verbal and physical abuse, and lived with undiagnosed mental/emotional illness for years. Shaping the "perfect storm, she became addicted to gambling. And toward the end alcohol abuse. Gambling, a form of fun and entertainment became her worst nightmare and almost took her life, twice.
Now in recovery nearly ten years, Catherine has become well known in the addiction/recovery communities and is a loud advocate of gambling addiction, mental health, and advocates to stop expansions of Indian Casinos and State Lottery offerings across America. She has been a recovery guest on several 'blog talk and radio' shows sharing her message and advocacy, and she has a large social media and blog following.
Catherine's featured in many media and recovery publications like Columbia University's media release article through the 2x2 Project.org ~"Gambling with America's Health." And most recently for "Time Magazine online coming in Sept 2016." She currently writes a column for " In Recovery Magazine " ~The Author's Cafe" and is a freelance writer for " Keys To Recovery Newspaper "
She is also an "Expert Gambling Recovery Blogger" for "Addictionland," of Founder/Author, Cate Stevens along with other recovery experts along like Christopher Lawford Kennedy and Patty Powers.
Catherine currently lives in sunny Arizona and So. Oregon. She is married to her husband, Tom for 27 years. She is a 'Cat Lover' and has three, Miss Princess, Mr. Boots, and Simon Peter. She enjoys reading, cooking, gardening, and swimming. She owns and runs an online book promotions business called: " Lyon Book Promotions and promotes for many authors across social media. She is currently finishing her second and third books due out late 2016 and early 2017.
Catherine can be reached by email: LyonMedia@aol.com
# # # #
So that is a little of what I have been up to. I also still blog my recovery journey over on my own blog which has also blossomed now with more posts, featured "Hot Recovery Books" list and Guest Interviews and Articles. So stop there anytime: Gambling Recovery Starts Here. I am happy to see more sites and publications now including Gambling Addiction as a feature and gives me a new platform to raise awareness and educate the public about the dangers of this addiction and Real Disease. Until next post recovery friends!
Be Blessed and ODAAT! "-) *Cat Lyon* XO

Tomorrow (or today - Sunday, June 6, 2010 - depending when you're reading this) is the 2010 World Partnership Walk in Montreal. Yes, we have finally reached this long discussed date.
Rain or shine, we will be taking steps towards a better world at the Quays of the Old Port of Montreal (between Jacques Cartier Quay and King Edward Quay) starting at 10:30AM. You can't miss it. We've got a bunch of big white tents set up and loads of glorious orange and blue banners decorating the site. Our start/finish line arch is epic. Oh, and TV people? We've got a jib.
"So... wait. What's the World Partnership Walk again?" It's Canada's largest annual event to fight global poverty by raising awareness and funds for the cause. It takes place in 10 cities across the country, including Montreal! Over 70,000 participants walk the Walk and donate directly to programmes that help people help themselves in fields like education, health, sanitation, strengthening of civil society, rural development, the environment and gender issues.
"Wait, what? What do you mean, 'directly'?" I mean directly! 100% of the funds raised through the World Partnership Walk go directly to international development initiatives coordinated by Aga Khan Foundation Canada.
"Aga Khan... isn't he that religious dude?" Yes, he's "that religious dude", aka the spiritual leader of the Ismaili Muslim community and a world renown philanthropist. Most importantly, it's thanks to his private funds that 100% of your donations can go to AKFC's development programmes. And by the way, AKFC is a non-denominational, not-for-profit, registered Canadian charity. Look them up: 10007 2586 RR0001.
"Okay, so my money helps everybody?" That's right! The Foundation's approach is to go into some of the poorest communities in Asia and Africa, ask them what they need, and then give them access to training, resources and often, Canadian expertise, so they can take full ownership of the projects they are implementing. By supporting the Foundation, you are empowering some of the poorest people in the world to take charge of their own lives and change their futures, immediately improving their quality of life and livelihoods. Oh, and your donation helps leverage additional funding from partners like CIDA or USAID.
"So, why me?" Everyone needs to come up with their own answers, but you can't deny that global poverty is one of the most pressing issues of our time. As Canadians (and Americans and anyone else who has the necessary financial and intellectual capacity), it is our duty to help those in need. We've proved time and time again that we believe in the potential of the developing world. Why not encourage them by giving them the proper tools they need to carry their future in their own hands? It works. I've seen it with my own eyes.
"Why do you Walk?" I walk because I have hope for a better world. One where the world heals itself through understanding, care, and love. One where people who can, help those who can't. One where there is trust in humanity, trust in our capacity, and trust in the power of a dream. I walk because I've seen the smiles of the faces of those we've helped in the past and the hope in the eyes of those we have yet to reach. I walk because I care. I walk because I can. I walk because it's the right thing to do.
Now let me turn the tables over to you. Why do you walk? Show me when you come out to the 2010 World Partnership Walk at the Quays of the Old Port tomorrow - Sunday, June 6 - and walk the Walk. If you can't show up, please donate now - I'm $270 away from my 2K goal! - and know that you've taken steps to make the world a better place. The entertainment lineup is pretty good too ;)
It is time for you to take the lead in changing the world. As Ghandi said... “You may never know what results come of your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result.”
Oh, and "Be the change you want to see in the world."
To contribute to my 2010 World Partnership Walk in Montreal fundraising efforts in the fight against global poverty, please click here. 100% of your donation will go directly to helping people help themselves in some of the poorest countries in the world.
PS: Thank you.

White spot syndrome baculovirus (WSBV) has been found across different shrimp species and in different Asian countries. The detection of WSBV in shrimp with white spot syndrome has already been achieved by means of 1-step polymerase chain reaction (PCR]. In an attempt to establish a more sensitive assay, we evaluated the effect of 2-step amplification with nested primers on the sensitivity of WSBV diagnostic PCR. The sensitivity of the 2-step amplification was 103 to 104 times higher than that of 1-step amplification. Using both techniques, we successfully detected WSBV DNA in cultured and captured shrimp, crabs and other arthropods. Cultured Penaeus monadon (black tiger shrimp), P. japonicus (kuruma shrimp), P. penicillatus (red tail shrimp), and Metapenaeus ensis (sand shrimp) displaying white spot syndrome were collected from farms at different localities. One-step amplification of the DNA extracted from these shrimps consistently yielded an expected 1447 bp PCR product. Some of the tested specimens of cultured Scylla serrata (mud crab) that exhibited white spot syndrome were positive in 1- step WSBV diagnostic PCR, while others were positive only in 2-step WSBV diagnostic PCR. Use of the 2-step amplification protocol also detected a WSBV-specific DNA fragment in Macrobrachium rosenbergii (the giant freshwater prawn) exhibiting white spot syndrome. We also confirmed that WSBV exists in wild-caught shrimp (P. monodon, P. japonicus, P. semisulcatus and P. penicillatus) and crabs (Charybdis feriatus, Portunus pelagicus and P. sanguinolentus) collected from the natural environment in coastal waters around southern Taiwan. Detection of WSBV in non-cultured arthropods collected from WSBV-affected shrimp farms revealed that copepods, the pest crab Helice tridens, small pest Palaemonidae prawn and the larvae of an Ephydridae insect were reservoir hosts of WSBV. The relatedness between WSBV and Thailand's systemic ectodermal and mesodermal baculovirus (SEMBV) is discussed in this paper.

It must be Eugene Melnyk.
The only logical explanation for fans negatively stealing so much of the spotlight from the Senators unexpectedly wondrous ride through the playoffs has to be a growing, general contempt for the team’s owner, for one reason or another.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
That must be the main reason why, in the hours leading up to Game 6 of the Eastern Conference final, there were still so many tickets available.
It was sad how the prospect of empty seats at Canadian Tire Centre on Tuesday night was a hot topic that overshadowed the fact the Senators were one of just three teams still having a shot at winning the Stanley Cup.
Can you imagine? The Senators still in contention for the NHL’s most prestigious hardware on May 23rd? They didn’t even make the playoffs last season. Not many thought they would this spring, either. Especially when they lost their No. 1 goalie for long periods while he helped his wife fight cancer, not to forget a likable leader to an 18-month battle with concussion problems.

Philipp Weber is a talented artist who paints realistic portraits of women in traditional magazine poses. The artist, who lives and works in Kassel and Berlin, Germany, looks for inner truth so instead of bringing empty perfection to life, he portraits their minor imperfections and their deep human stories—whether that be the sadness in their eyes or wounds on their faces.
Image credits: Philipp Weber
Weber’s artistic journey began when he was just a 3-year-old boy and since then, he hasn’t lost his path. Through the years, you can see a clear artistic progression in his works. His inspiration comes from books, movies, fellow artists, other creative people, and people’s personal stories about their lives: the stories that reveal their dreams and aspirations that are beyond fancy faces and flawless skin.
“Philipp started painting when he was 3 years old as a present to give his mum and grandmother to make them happy and smile. He says that he cannot imagine his life without painting. When he was a high school student, he painted portraits that he sold to people directly and made enough money to buy a small car,” says Philipp’s business manager Kiki Kim to Bored Panda.
“Philipp studied his Master’s degree at Berlin University of the Arts and he has always been interested in realistic or super-realistic art, regardless of what stage of his career he has been in, as he believes that his viewers can engage with his paintings the best with a super-realistic art form.”
