I use the HDMI to connect my Droid4 to a projector. I want to project documents that are in Portrait orientation. HDMI is normally a landscape format. I can readily turn my projector on its side so that the projected output appears to be portrait. The Droid is not so accommodating. If I hold the phone in portrait orientation, I can see my whole document on the phone. However, the image of the phone on the projector only occupies the middle third of the screen (since it is displaying the portrait image of the phone in the middle of the landscape HDMI field.) This results in low image quality. If I rotate the phone, the phone's video out automatically uses the entire HDMI display area which is great. However, it also rotates my document on the phone screen so that it too is in landscape, and I only see the top third of the document. Here's what I want: I want to have the display on my phone in portrait orientation. I then want to have it rotated for the HDMI output. If I were to put it on my TV, it would appear as if I had taken a picture of my portrait phone and turned it sideways. It would fill up the entire HDMI space with a nice high resolution image, but sideways. Now I take my projector and rotate it 90 degrees and voila, I have a portrait HDMI projection. It is a bit confusing to describe, but I hope this makes sense. Simply locking the rotation on the phone doesn't work because then turning the phone from portrait to landscape does not rotate the phone screen (good), but it will also not rotate the hdmi output (bad). I also tried making my source document a PDF and rotating it 90 degrees. This works great on my computer screen, but the Droid4 is "too smart" and automatically corrects the orientation for me. Boo.

Urban-Normative Reforms Missing the Mark
Rural School Consolidation in New York State, USA
Abstract: For close to fifty years, rural and non-metro counties in New York State have suffered economic and demographic declines. This paper examines the impact of urbannormative educational reform efforts on one community, and the continued crisis emerging after the consolidated district closed the elementary school. Using Discourse Analysis, two sets of voices are interrogated for their narrative during the crisis. The paper uses social and traditional media in an effort to uncover often ignored or forgotten voices who argue against the public, dominate narrative concerning rural educational reforms in the United States.

SEOUL (Reuters) -North Korea will continue to develop “formidable striking capabilities” that cannot be bartered or sold for anything, leader Kim Jong Un said, according to state media on Monday, as he visited workers involved with the country’s biggest missile test.
Kim was meeting with officials, scientists, technicians and workers who contributed to a missile launch on Thursday, which North Korea said was its largest intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), state news agency KCNA reported. “Only when one is equipped with the formidable striking capabilities, overwhelming military power that cannot be stopped by anyone, one can prevent a war, guarantee the security of the country and contain and put under control all threats and blackmails by the imperialists,” Kim said, according to the report.
While personally overseeing the test on Thursday, Kim said the new ICBM was to help deter any military moves by the United States, which remains technically at war with the North after the 1950-1953 Korean War ended in an armistice rather than a peace agreement. Washington has sought to pressure Pyongyang into surrendering or reducing its arsenal of nuclear weapons and ICBMs, which may be able to strike targets in the United States.
But Kim said his self-defence force “can not be bartered nor be bought with anything” and will be held firm without the slightest vacillation despite harsh trials and difficulties. North Korea will continue to build a “more perfect and stronger strategic force,” Kim said, referring to the country’s nuclear force.
The United States said on Friday it will push United Nations sanctions on North Korea to be strengthened over “increasingly dangerous provocations,” but China and Russia signalled opposition and instead argued for such measures to be eased. North Korea said Thursday’s missile was the Hwasong-17, and Japan and South Korea confirmed that flight data showed the launch flew higher and longer than any previous North Korean test.
But analysts said that state media coverage appeared to be trying to pass off footage from a previous launch, and South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported on Sunday that intelligence officials in Seoul and Washington believe the North actually tested an older and slightly smaller Hwasong-15 ICBM.

I had a chance to discuss Energy Star with the designers of desktop printers. They confirmed that the allowable stand-by power targets depend on the device, and they only knew their targets. But they made some other interesting comments:
Energy Star ratings lead to significant operational power savings. Timer based power savings are the exception. Most savings come from designing in power on demand with low leakage drivers. For example, using stepper motors with low leakage current instead of high leakage.
This savings is both from individual designs and from the resulting demand for low leakage products causing better and cheaper low leakage product designs. The old-style (e.g. typewriter) design with one motor (always on) and various clutches is no longer the least cost.
Energy Star was good organizational engineering. It never required designers to compromise quality or performance, which made it much harder to argue against design changes to reduce power consumption while idle. Since most of the savings begin the millisecond that parts stop moving, these savings are considerable.
The power ratings on PC's are a safety rating, not a usage rating. So the 235W and 300W power supplies that commonly found in PCs are specifying their safety limits. Actual full power usage is much less, typically 20-30 percent of the safe limit. The designers also noted that it is actually difficult to measure the power consumption of a switching power supply. You need to use specially designed power meters. The regular AC meters are designed for motors, and are rather inaccurate for switching power supplies.

Jo and I went on a little shopping spree market research trip over the week-end to the Wasatch Front Shop Hop, a tour of 15 quilt shops in Utah from Logan to Springville. We really did critique the shops as best we could. A couple of them seemed to be mired in the past; one was even using scissors instead of a rotary cutter on the fabric and a calculator to add up purchases! Our favorite shops were ones in which the staff was friendly, the fabric was current, and the display quilts were inspiring. Each shop had games, prizes and treats carrying out the theme of the event, which was “Once Upon A Time,” with each shop assigned a certain classic child’s fairytale.
I did pick up just a few items.
No, this is not what we were driving, but we did see it as we were passing the Great Salt Lake on our way to Tooele. The license plate identified it as a ’34 Ford.
Fairytales and antiques naturally remind me of two old baby quilts I have.
I got this baby bear quilt for a pittance once in an antique store here in town. The bears are done up in flannel for texture, and it’s all hand appliqued and quilted. I’d say it’s circa 1940.
Awe, the “Sheldon” quilt, with the charming quintessentially 30’s fabric.
I guess baby Sheldon would be about 75 years old now. Too bad for him, I have his quilt.
I adore the redwork in this quilt.
I think each of these quilts is worth less than $200, so not a whole lot of monetary value in them. I feel sentimental about them anyway, even though I didn’t know either baby and I didn’t make either quilt. Lots of work and craftsmanship went into each one, and I honor that.

In December 2022, the Government published some proposed amendments to the National Planning Policy Framework and offered an open consultation on the proposed updates. The consultation deadline was Thursday 2 March and as planned, officers sent a written response to the consultation, covering a number of key points. The letter articulates the council’s position on a number of important points, including that:
- The timing of the review of the “standard method” for determining new housing needs in the Local Plan, which the Government plans to undertake in 2024, should be brought forward
- Any new methodology should be evidence-based and relate to the emerging 2021 Census data
- Greater clarity should be provided on what factors might reduce the housing requirements in any given area
- The Government’s position on the status of “best and most versatile agricultural land” should be given greater clarity. In our view the proposed wording in relation to agricultural land is vague, and should be strengthened, so that it is equivalent to Green Belt protections.
The letter also indicates the council’s broad support for proposed changes to the application of the five year housing land supply test and the way that the Housing Delivery Test (HDT) operates. While we agree that the Government should revise national planning policy to attach more weight to social rented housing in planning policies and decisions, in our view more could be done.
We also advocate for the promotion of social rent as a first presumption for affordable housing provision and call for a new designation of Affordable Housing land. This is so that affordable housing providers are able to better compete with developers and housebuilders for land acquisition.

Today, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback signed House Bill 2491 into law. This important self-defense and hunting reform will allow hunters, fishermen, and fur harvesters to carry a handgun in the field. HB 2491 passed in the state Senate unanimously on March 15 and in the House by an overwhelming 113 to 8 vote in February.
HB 2491 is a commonsense bill that will allow an individual to carry a handgun for personal protection while hunting, fishing or trapping as long as that firearm is not used for the unauthorized taking of wildlife. This bill simply allows sportsmen the ability to adequately defend themselves from a variety potential threats posed by wildlife or criminals.
Thank you to Governor Brownback for signing into law HB 2491 and to the legislators who voted for HB 2491. Also, thank you to all NRA members who contacted their state Senator and Representative in support of HB 2491.

A Fine Sand Painting by Benjamin Zobel Showing a Deer Being Attacked by a Boa Constrictor. The Source Taken From a Zoological Specimen in William Bullock’s Museum at 22 Piccadilly London
The subject of this exceedingly fine sand painting is very interesting indeed. Zobel is probably most famous today for his sand pictures depicting pastoral scenes and animals and the present image shows what appears to be a very typical English forest and the deer appears to be a fallow hind-a breed that, though native to Asia, had been and continues to be the most common breed of deer in Britain. Against this background, the presence of a Boa constrictor appears to be shocking and out of place and it is only through our discovery of the source for the piece that we have been able to begin to understand what Zobel was creating in his painting.
A print in the British Museum (registration number 1860, 0728.93) shows a deer and Boa constrictor in precisely the same composition as in our painting but the forest background is very different. This is unsurprising as the title of the print is “The Boa Constrictor of Surinam…”
Probably one of a pair of “highly finished marble dust paintings” sold by the auctioneer William Seaman of Great Yarmouth on the 8th of October 1823 in successive lots. Lot 62 in the sale was described as “Zobel’s highly-finished marble dust painting-Boa constrictor. Framed and glazed” and was consigned by “Crow”. It sold for 1 Pound and 11 Shillings to “King”.
The print was made by the prolific and important 19th century British printmaker Frederick Charles Lewis but the publication line makes no mention of the there having been a painting from which this piece was made. Instead, the inscription mentions that it is “from the one in Mr Bullock’s Museum, 22 Piccadilly. Length 32 feet, circumference 2 feet 7 inches” and the inference is clear-there must have been a stuffed specimen of a snake, possibly also with a deer, on display in the museum. Zobel in turn must have interpreted the Lewis image for his clients by superimposing the snake and deer on to the type of English pastoral scene he was most used to producing, in turn creating a very interesting fusion of East and West.
Lewis’ print is one of a series of images of zoological subjects all taken from Bullock’s museum but most of the other animals are depicted as single specimens-not in a tableau like this. The discovery of the print and the link to William Bullock’s museum (see below) makes this not only a very fine work of art in its own right but also a means by which we may study one of the early museums of curiosities in England and the way that its specimens of natural history were arranged and images of those specimens disseminated. Lewis’ print must presumably date to between 1809 and 1812 as Bullock’s London museum was opened in 1809 and by 1812 was renamed the Egyptian Hall Museum as its focus turned increasingly in that direction. It is very likely that our Zobel painting dates from this same period.
William Bullock and his Museum
William Bullock initially trained as a goldsmith and silversmith, returning to metalwork later in his life when he created a range of interesting lighting. The designs for these lamps and other items seem to have come from his brother George Bullock the most and famous and important furniture designer of the early 19th century in England and whose clients included Sir Walter Scott and Napoleon-he was selected by the British government to furnish the Emperor’s home on the island of St Helena.
Having established his career in Liverpool, opening a museum there in 1795, William Bullock moved his operation to London in 1809 and the museum at 22 Piccadilly became a popular and important attraction in the city. The collections encompassed items as diverse as an important collection of Mexican artefacts, acquired by Bullock personally when he visited the country in 1822 and 1823, the aforementioned specimens of natural history and other curiosities which Bullock thought would appeal to his paying customers. It is probable that, lin common with his competitors such as Thomas Weeks who ran a museum in Tichbourne Street, Bullock also used the museum to retail items that would have been made to complement the exhibits on show.
Bullock left England for a life in America where he bought an estate in the Cincinnati area in 1827 and then founded a town at Ludlow Kentucky in 1828 which he had designed by the celebrated architect J. B. Papworth. The failure of this enterprise led to his return to England in 1836 and he lived the rest of his life back in his country of birth.
Benjamin Zobel (1762 – 1830)
Zobel was employed by the Prince Regent’s chef Louis Weltje, and became a `Table Decker’ at Windsor Castle. The custom of `Table Decking’ had been introduced into England by George III, where the table cloth at dinner was elaborately decorated with designs of coloured sands, marble dust, powdered glass or bread crumbs. Zobel became a skilled confectioner and was entrusted with the pictures made in coloured sugars that decorated the huge tarts served at banquets. The method he employed for making sugar patterns was identical to that which he used to make his sand pictures; that is the sugar, or sand, was shaken through a cut and pleated playing-card.

The rise in the number of crash for cash scams that are blighting insurers could mean those who have real accidents are treated with more suspicion, it has been claimed.
Steve Foulsham, technical services manager at the British Insurance Brokers Association (BIBA), said car insurance providers are being inundated with more false claims and as such, it is important they deal with each case in as thorough a manner as possible to ensure scammers do not get through.
Unfortunately, this means all accidents are being treated with more suspicion.
“Insurers have a duty to the policyholder where they have grounds [for] suspicion. They probably look at claims more cautiously than they did in the past,” he commented.
BIBA is the UK’s leading general insurance organisation. It represents the interests of insurance brokers, intermediaries and customers and has partner members from the leading companies in the insurance industry.


Take a look at the progression of I – IV – V for D Minor. This is an important chord along with it’s corresponding chords relating to this progression, specifically for playing Joropo related songs. In fact, we will be reviewing a song which only consists of these three chords later on, so be certain to dominate the chords and progression. The progression consists of the following chords:
Have a look at how these are played in the video demonstration below.
A tip: as with all other chords, there are a number of variations which can be applied. For the G Minor chord for example, a popular one is to include the E note by placing your ring finger on the 2nd fret of the 2nd string. This gives the G Minor an even more mysterious effect than it already has.

I arrived at the cheese counter fully planning to pick up the soft mild blue cheese from Italy called for in the recipe, but after a few minutes of perusing the blue cheese section I made the decision to go local. It wasn’t that difficult with a hunk of Point Reyes original blue cheese staring me down from inside the cheese case.
I love Tomales Bay, the coastal fog, the green hills where the Holstein cows graze in harmony with the salty Pacific breezes. The land, it’s all about the land or ‘Terroir’ as the French call it. In fact my favorite French chef who lives in Sonoma says that you should always eat local and I think that’s great advice especially when everything local is so good. I feel very fortunate to live in Northern California where we enjoy an abundance of artisanal cheeses.
This week I put my own spin on Dorie’s Gorgonzola-apple quiche recipe by adding local blue cheese, shallots, a sweet tart Gala apple, as well as a handful of walnuts. Once again I used Dorie’s recipe for the quiche dough which always works perfectly for me. I am a happy camper with my French Fridays with Dorie recipe this week. This rich flavored quiche would be good as an appetizer cut in thin slices and served with bubbles. It may very well knock gougères out of first position in the app department for the time being. Please follow this link to check out all the other quiches this week and I hope you find inspiration in your own backyard.
Adapted from Around My French Table by Dorie Greenspan.

LIGHTS… CAMERA… AUSLAN!
The first Australian feature film to showcase Auslan (Australian
sign language) to international audiences has become an instant sensation in festivals the world
A Silent Agreement is standing out as more than a coming-of-age drama; it is also breaking
new ground in the representation of LGBT characters and people with a disability in cinema, with
an inspiring love story about betrayal, belonging and redemption.
Paul Mercurio makes his a big-screen comeback as a jaded actor-turned-film-producer, desperate
for one last chance to revive his career. When an emerging thespian shows up with his profoundly
deaf same-sex parter, pitching the story of how he overcame a severe stutter through sign language,
the producer steals the autobiographical screenplay and turns it into something self-serving and
pretentious, all in a bid to play the marketplace and achieve personal success.
What results is a topical and uncompromising power-play, exploring the little-discussed reality of
how emerging filmmakers can be easily mislead by established industry professionals, without
justice, for fear of shame and embarrassment. This story is about the psychology of victimhood, the
struggle to maintain integrity over profit margins and the courage to rise from defeat and fight for
justice, honour and self-acceptance.
Featuring profoundly deaf actors in lead roles and starring the writer/director Davo Hardy as he
shines a spotlight on his real-life stutter, A Silent Agreement takes a cross-section of the independent
filmmaking community and explores the duality of individualism and the differences that make us
unique versus the human condition and need to belong that binds and unites us all.
A Silent Agreement is currently submitted to over a dozen film festivals, local and abroad.


Preemption bill passes Senate, still has teeth
April 5, 1999 – A bill to overturn the gun bans of many municipalities has passed the Senate, and is headed for the Governor's desk.
House Bill 1305 stops cities from getting any tougher than state
This measure overturns the patchwork of city and county laws on firearms issues in Colorado, and says that state law takes precedence. This means that Denver's assault weapons ban, their "public nuisance" ordinance (that allows them to confiscate your property), their brandishing law, and many others will no longer have force of law.
There has been a barrage of anti-gun rhetoric about this bill, especially from Mayor Wellington Webb of Denver, Mayor Linda Morton of Lakewood and the Colorado Municipal League.
This bill, however, must still be heard by a conference committee, and get through Governor Bill Owens, who has been increasingly hostile to gun rights issues.
Gun suits prohibition bill now in House
Senate Bill 205, which prohibits municipalities from suing gun manufacturers, has made it through the State Senate, a House Committee, and will be voted upon by the full House soon. It would stop the ludicrous decisions made by some courts to hold firearms manufacturers liable for violence committed with their products. Kudos to State Rep. Lauri Clapp, the House sponsor of SB205, who RMGO worked with to get this bill moving.
Senate Judiciary Committee passes SB84, kills HB1316;
Worst CCW bill in Colorado history to go to full Senate soon
April 1, 1999 – As predicted, the Senate Judiciary Committee killed HB1316 and passed Senate Bill 84, the worst CCW bill to ever be considered by the Colorado Senate.
Senate Bill 84 has many anti-gun provisions, including gun owner registry
Ken Chlouber’s SB84 has numerous anti-gun provisions, including a centralized database of permit holders – and their electronically stored fingerprints -- adminstered by the CBI. Adding to the growing list of databases at the hands of government, this creates a central registry of permit holders. Instead, lawmakers could simply let each sheriff (the issuing authority in this bill) to maintain their own lists, and put their department’s phone number on each permit to verify its authenticity.
"This is the worst concealed carry bill ever offered in the Colorado legislature," said Dudley Brown, Executive Director and lobbying for Rocky Mountain Gun Owners in today’s Rocky Mountain News. "It’s a ‘big brother’ concealed carry."
Under SB84, the CBI has no restriction on what it can do with fingerprints or other information in their database.
Among SB84’s problems are:
- Creates a statewide database, administered by the CBI
- Requires fingerprints, forever logging them within databases
- Gives Sheriff discretion (which was broadened in committee)
- Has criminal safezones where permits are not valid
- Denies applicants who have been convicted of domestic violence misdemeanors
- Expensive ($100 for 4 years)
What you can do:
Call your State Senator today at (888-473-8136) or (303-866-2316) to demand they remove these anti-gun provisions on the Senate floor.
Remember, any bill that is passed will be with us for years. If we don’t fix SB84, we have no choice but to kill it, and start again next year.
But isn’t half a loaf better than no loaf at all? That is exactly the question compromising politicians want you to be asking yourself – and is a lose-lose situation for gun owners.
If gun rights advocates and their groups would band together to remove these anti-gun provisions, we could have a bill every gunny can support.
Senate to revive Chlouber's SB84, kill HB1316;
SB84 has criminal safezones, other anti-gun provisions
Dean's HB1316 reportedly in trouble
Ken Chlouber's SB84 has been tabled in the Senate Judiciary since Feb. 1, when the committee voted Musgrave's SB156 out of committee to later die at the hands of liberal House GOP leaders.
With Rep. Doug Dean's House Bill 1316 taking fire from the press and the Governor (who is trying to find cover on the concealed carry issue), politicians have decided to abandon Dean's horse and ride another, all to try to get rid of this controversial issue and gun rights advocates.
Most insiders believe the preemption language for all gun issues and the prohibition on suing gun manufacturers has burdened HB1316 to the point that it has too many enemies. With large lobbies like the Colorado Municipal league (which wants to keep firearms decisions at a local level, protecting their power base), the trial lawyers (who do not want to add prohibitions on who can be sued), and opposition from hardcore gunnies (who don't like all the compromises of their gun rights on1316) this concealed carry bill consolidated too many enemies. Instead, they turn to an even worse bill.
Chlouber's SB84 has criminal safezones, other anti-gun language
Though it won't show on the state web site, Senate Bill 84 had criminal safezones added in the Judiciary Committee before it was tabled. This means that you could get a permit, but not be able to carry concealed in any athletic event (pro, college, or any school), in any government building, or in any school. For those already with permits, this is a huge step backward.
SB84 also has sheriff discretion, turning this so-called "shall issue" bill into a "may issue" bill. And, like HB1316, you can be denied a permit if you have been convicted of a domestic violence misdemeanors, mirroring the unconstitutional federal Lautenberg Gun Ban.
Worst of all, SB84 requires fingerprints and creates a statewide database of permit holders, administered by the CBI. This gun registration ploy only serves to create large Orwellian databases of fingerprints, names, addresses, and any information possible to keep track of law-abiding citizens.
Why not just pass a bill, and try next year?
Whining from the "pass anything and keep the politicians happy" compromisers has made many marginal lawmakers run for cover, voting for anything as long as it is labeled "concealed carry" and will relieve the pressure. Their standard ploy is to suggest we pass anything, and "fix it in a couple of years." Those are the kind of promises that only the most naïve will buy.
If a bad bill is passed, gun owners are stuck with it for the foreseeable future. All it takes is one glance at the willingness of most politicians to get rid of this issue, and it is obvious that if they can pass any bill, they won't be revisiting the concealed carry issue anytime soon. Make no mistake about it: anti-gun provisions passed through these bills will not be easily changed.

I LOVE this blog post about middle-school love in band. Of course, the clarinetists are the evil, cold hearted, rejectors of the trumpet players "earnest" urges. 🙂
Go read it. It will bring back memories if you played in band. Here's a snippet:
Oh Sara Miller how I liked you, when we were there in the seventh grade. Both in band. You a clarinet player. Me a trumpeteer. You were part of the trifecta of hotness, along with your two clarinet friends. You would look back at our row giggling. Me and the boys would skip a beat watching you giggle up in the front.

A tangled web of espionage and intrigue played out against the gritty background of the Tabrizi oil fields. The autho John Singe, author My Island Home
A tangled web of espionage and intrigue played out against the gritty background of the Tabrizi oil fields. The author employs her intimate knowledge of North Africa and the Mediterranean to weave an absorbing tale with more than its share of suspense and chicanery in exotic locations. I was fascinated by the descriptions of life in the antediluvian world of Tabriz, and the variety of characters drawn to work in this bizarre domain.
I could not keep my eyes off the book. It is mind-blowing. The author takes you through such an exciting journey of sex, passion, hidden fantasies and I could not keep my eyes off the book. It is mind-blowing. The author takes you through such an exciting journey of sex, passion, hidden fantasies and much more. Each chapter is a different erotic story that will trigger your mind and will make you want to read more and more. Honestly it is hard to put down. And like me, you may find more than one of your erotic fantasies coming true. Joshrx7, Australia
I just finished reading Jacqueline's book, Foreign Affairs. This novel is fantastic, very hot and very literate. It is a veritable travelogue of sex as the title indicates. It revolves around a collection of short stories placed in exotic locations by an English writer, John Trehearne. They are being read at a censorship review proceeding and narrative between the stories develops John's character and his romantic opposite, Priscilla. Although, like most romances, the end of the novel is predictable the short stories often have trick endings with implied meanings keeping everything spicy. Several characters appear in more than one story and Trehearne admits that they are somewhat autobiographical. This links the stories right into the big picture, one of the characters even sent a letter addressing the censorship proceedings. Because of this related story-within-a-story technique, Foreign Affairs provides a richness of thought not often found in spicy romances. It's a red hot read and a novel that will stick in the back of your mind. Jojo Jinx...more
I was really impressed with Jacqueline George's new novel, Her Master's Voice. She brought together sLove and Wild Times Smart, Interesting ANND Sexy!
I was really impressed with Jacqueline George's new novel, Her Master's Voice. She brought together so many different aspects of life, and with such ease. It seemed so natural. I felt as though I was watching a movie taking place in areas I could only dream of visiting. It is still true that foreign adventures seem much sexier, and the whole atmosphere adds a perfect backdrop to the story.
Sherry and Tim, a couple from England, seem to have lost their fire. Their marriage is still intact, but they need others to help them spice up their love life: that's where we meet a plethora of characters that are unforgettable. Ranji is the beautiful and vivacious Indian friend of Sherry's, who just so happens to teach her a thing or two about oral sex, which is sure to drive her husband mad. Alistair is the Malay prince, who has a very healthy sex drive, and who ultimately adopts the couple and brings them much closer together. There are far too many convincing and interesting characters to mention!
Overall, I still believe that Jacqueline writes stories with such interesting plots, and such beautiful detail, that I find myself not even realizing that I am reading something classified as erotic. I recommend this book to anyone who seeks a little adventure in their lives. Reviewer: Kyo
Fantastic Writing! This is one heck of a story. The details of the exotic locale are revealed by someone who knows what she's talking about. You feel yourself in the jungle, above the swamps, and gain a knowledge about a very different lifestyle. The characters, especially the women, are luscious and different… a God that revels in a Woman's bottom? I love it! It's a whirlwind story, always interesting and I like the way the sex scenes are presented with class, each tender choice for sexual 'parts' some word you don't expect, make you think twice about (often even arouse you). Salacious yet sensuous, surprising too. Wow. Great writing. Reviewer: Victoise...more
Mother Superior Therese of the Magdalene convent in the castle of Montebello, has a problem.

War has broken out and the Imperial Army has occupied Montebello. Now the adjutant Prince Franz Mefist has presented her with an ultimatum: he needs girls for the officer's bordello, and if Therese does not find them in her convent, then the army will seize women from the neighbouring village.
Are her vows worth sacrificing village women and their families?
And if she agrees to help with girls, what else will she have to do for the handsome Prince?
Therese's dilemma is presented against the backdrop of a beautiful Central European winter, with Therese and Mefist struggling to keep the horrors of war away from the castle and the village. As they work together, she begins to appreciate a different way of life. Prince Mefist is not the ogre she had first expected......more

If you have read any of my stuff, you probably realise how I obssess about getting the places, people and events to be real and believable (even for fantasises!), and Liverpool University in 1968 must have been a fun time and place.

Girls mature rapidly when they first leave home and go to Uni, but I did not consciously make this a coming-of-age story. Great events entangle Light, and she has to grow or be swamped. She turns into a pretty tough cookie by the end of the story - I like her!

True Thompson is formally 3!
Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson‘s daughter turns 3 at this time, April 12, and whereas it seems like we simply watched Khloe give start on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, True has already grown as much as be an adorable addition to the prolonged Kardashian-Jenner household. In a 2018 episode of KUWTK, Khloe gushed, “The minute I met my daughter, I can not consider I am even saying the phrases my daughter. I used to be so in love along with her and he or she’s simply good.”
Since then, the mother-daughter duo have develop into finest pals, with Khloe posting numerous candy snaps of True on Instagram. Most not too long ago, Khloe and True celebrated Easter with the Kardashian-Jenners. Not solely did Khloe get some lovable pics along with her BFF daughter, she additionally captured a heartwarming picture of True surrounded by Easter baskets designed by “Lovey” Kris Jenner.
And, after seeing how the E! household celebrated Easter, we guess Khloe will pull out all of the stops for True’s birthday.

'Govt to accelerate reform agenda'
"We are now more confident of carrying forward our task," says Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi after a cabinet meeting presided over by PM Manmohan Singh.delhi Updated: Jul 24, 2008 16:55 IST
The Indian government will now proceed full speed ahead on its unfinished reform agenda, a senior minister said on Thursday, two days after winning a trust vote in Parliament.
"We are now more confident of carrying forward our task," Information and Broadcasting Minister Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi told reporters after a cabinet meeting presided over by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
"We will try to accelerate the unfinished tasks in the CMP (common minimum programme for governance)," the minister added, with the government now shorn of its Left baggage.
Asked about the mood in the cabinet at its first meeting after winning the trust vote, Dasmunsi initially said it was a "normal" meeting.
On being prodded further, he added: "It (the mood) was very good. We are very happy (over winning the trust vote)."
The government on Tuesday won by 19 votes a confidence motion in parliament that was forced by the Left parties withdrawing their support to protest New Delhi's moves to make the India-US civil nuclear deal operational.
Dasmunsi replied in the negative when asked whether the expulsion from the Communist Party of India-Marxist of Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee had figured during the cabinet meeting.
"It was not on the agenda," he said.

On the next page we're going to show you an extended abstract for a paper. Please read it as if you were an editor for a scientific journal, deciding on whether to accept the paper. After you read the abstract we'll ask you a few questions.
Entertainment media affects our lives. What behaviors children and adults consider appropriate comes, in part, from the lessons learned from television and the movies. Here we use a randomized control trial in a laboratory setting to test the impact of playing violent video games on aggressive behavior. We recruited a sample of 800 undergraduates from a large Midwestern introductory psychology course to participate in a lab experiment where their aggression was assessed after playing a violent or non-violent single player video game.
Participants were randomly assigned to treatment (violent game) or control (non-violent game) conditions, with 400 participants in each condition. After playing the game for a total of 90 minutes they were placed in unrelated situations where they could anonymously be more or less aggressive towards another person. Our main finding is that participants who played violent video games behaved more aggressively (M = 6.81, SD = 0.51) compared to those who played non-violent video games (M = 6.65, SD = 0.53), t(798) = 4.35, p < .001 (Fig. 1).
Specifically, after playing the game participants were told that someone occupying a neighboring cubicle would compete with them to press a button first in response to a stimulus, and the loser would be subjected to a noise blast, though the neighboring cubicle was in fact empty, and the participant won or lost rounds at random. The intensity and duration of the noise blast was set by the participant ahead of time. When they won, they heard the noise blast in the neighboring cubicle. When they lost, they were subjected to a noise blast of a random intensity and length. We measured their aggressiveness by the length of the noise blast that participants chose to deliver to their opponent when they won the reaction time task.
In the short term, playing a violent video game appears to affect aggression by priming aggressive thoughts. If repeated exposure to violent video games does indeed lead to the creation and heightened accessibility of a variety of aggressive knowledge structures, the consequent changes in everyday social interactions may also lead to consistent increases in aggressive affect.
Suppose you're looking at the results of an experiment involving two groups of people: people who received a treatment and people who were in a control condition. The outcomes in each condition follow a bell curve (or normal distribution), as you might see for people’s heights or weights. The accompanying plot shows the estimated average outcome for each group with error bars showing one standard error above and below the average in each condition.
What is your best estimate of the probability that a randomly selected person in the treatment group has a higher outcome than a randomly selected person in the control group? (A 50% probability indicates no difference in outcomes between the treatment and control groups, on average.)
The error bars will still show one standard error around the estimated average in each group. In addition, we will now show all of the individual outcomes.
The error bars will still show one standard error around the estimated average in each group, but we will no longer show individual outcomes.

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors prevent the inactivation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). This protein, released from the gut following ingestion of a meal, stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon secretion. Compared with other anti-diabetic drugs, the pharmacological characteristics of DDP-4 inhibitor include improvement in postprandial hyperglycemia, low frequency of hypoglycemia, prevention of development of obesity, few adverse events. Taking account of pharmacological characteristic and our therapeutic experiences with DPP-4 inhibitor, we believe that DPP-4 inhibitor may be a useful and safe oral anti-diabetic drug for diabetes in the elderly people, diabetes complicated with obesity, chronic hepatitis/liver cirrhosis, and steroid-induced diabetes.

For the first studio album by the pop rock band The Turtles see It Ain't Me Babe (album).
"It Ain't Me Babe" is a song by Bob Dylan that originally appeared on his fourth album Another Side of Bob Dylan, which was released in 1964 by Columbia Records. According to music critic Oliver Trager, this song, along with others on the album, marked a departure for Dylan as he began to explore the possibilities of language and deeper levels of the human experience. Within a year of its release, the song was picked up as a single by artists who were forging the folk rock movement, including The Turtles and The Byrds.
Dylan's biographers generally agree that the song owes its inspiration to his former girlfriend Suze Rotolo. He reportedly began writing the song during his visit to Italy in 1963 while searching for Rotolo, who was studying there.
Clinton Heylin reports that a Times reporter at a May 1964 Royal Festival Hall concert where Dylan first played "It Ain't Me" took the lines "no, no, no, it ain't me babe" as a parody of The Beatles' "She Loves You".

As a result of inflammation pulp dies and inflammatory process extends into the surrounding tooth tissue. Bone tissue around the tooth with a dead pulp is destroyed. Destruction of bone tissue can be detected by X-ray examination of the teeth. With the weakening of the immune system infection in the tooth root canal might trigger inflammatory process, which is accompanied by constant pain. Endodontists in Arizona Dentistry insist that periodontitis should be treated regardless if it causes pain or not.

Seann is a charming and charismatic natural born observational storyteller, and one of the most frighteningly precocious talents to emerge from the UK comedy circuit in years. Within two years of his first comedy performance, Seann was the winner of the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year. Shortly after other accolades included Chortle Best Breakthrough Act Nominee 2010 and Chortle Best Compere Nominee 2011.

I'd Happily Punch Myself in the Face
Everybody likes a good moan; Seann Walsh has turned it into an art form. His friends have even stopped asking him for favours, to avoid the fuss. Favours, to him, are just another way of saying, 'Can I make your life more difficult?' But this doesn't stop him from asking other people for things, hence the fact that his friend Robin is writing this for no financial recompense. The only thing Seann actually likes is his hometown, Brighton.

As an intense war rages in the Middle East, India will begin evacuation of its citizens from Israel tonight under ‘Operation Ajay’.
The first chartered flight, with the expected 230 Indians, is slated to take off from Tel Aviv tonight and it will reach here tomorrow morning, External Affairs Ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi said here during a Media briefing.
Responding to questions, he said the Indian government is keeping a close watch on the situation in the region where Israel is carrying out a major operation in Gaza against Hamas in retaliation to its “terrorist attacks” in Israel on October 7.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has already condemned the terrorist attacks by Hamas and expressed solidarity with Israel.
Bagchi, while replying to a barrage of questions related to the developments in the Middle East, referred to the Prime Minister’s statement and said India does consider Hamas action as terror attacks.
Asked to comment on the ongoing developments in the region, the MEA spokesman said, “There is a universal obligation to observe international humanitarian law. There is also global responsibility to fight the menace of terrorism in all its form and manifestations.”
To a question on India’s official position on Palestine, he said, “Our policy in this regard has been longstanding and consistent. India has always advocated the resumption of direct negotiations towards establishing a sovereign, independent and viable State of Palestine living within secure and recognized borders, side by side at peace with Israel. That position stands.”
Earlier on October 7, Modi had posted on X (formerly Twitter), “Deeply shocked by the news of terrorist attacks in Israel. Our thoughts and prayers are with the innocent victims and their families. We stand in solidarity with Israel at this difficult hour.”
Following the Hamas attack, Israel has launched full-scale war against the militant organisation and has been conducting targeted strikes in Gaza. The military action has led to over 2,500 deaths and thousands being displaced from their homes.

NOTE: In 1953 when the French were fighting the Viet Minh in Indochina, the then-commander of the French forces, General Henri Navarre, predicted his army would soon be victorious. In an admittedly free translation of a message to the French people that at the same time put the Viet Minh on notice, the general said, "There is a light at the end of the tunnel," meaning the war would soon end and the French would win. As we now know, he was wrong. The French lost. The Viet Minh was victorious. In late 1967, with Americans starting to question the war in Vietnam, General William Westmoreland, the military commander in Vietnam, was touring America to help garner more support for the war. In one of his stops he said he saw, "the light at the end of the tunnel." General Westmoreland did not know that the Tet Offensive would start in January 1968, putting a lie to his words. Who knew, too, that the war would not end for another seven years?
With all the optimism that now surrounds the war in Iraq, what the military refers to as "success" because of the recent surge, why have we not heard that old saw about Vietnam: "the light at the end of the tunnel"? Perhaps the generals are smarter today. There is no talk about an end to the war. There is no talk about light in a dark world. The fact that much of the country is quiet is relative. However, Iraq by all accounts is in a fragile state. No predictions here. It is better this way. I never heard the war in Vietnam described as being fragile. I heard it described as a mistake and a failure, but never fragile. It was a war waiting for an end, whenever that might be.
Because of General Westmoreland's statement, the always innovative press corps in Saigon created a yearly party beginning at the end of 1968 called "The Light at the End of the Tunnel Party." It was a very good party, and because of its apt name, there were a few journalists – there always are -- that perversely wanted that never-ending war to continue because the party was the best that it could be. Some may say the party never existed, that it was a figment of a strong imagination. Let me be clear that no matter what anyone may say, each of us celebrated the end of the year in our own way. If we were in Vietnam today fighting a war, we would be approaching that time of year when preparations for the party would be under way. Thankfully, that is no longer the case. As far as I know in Iraq there are no parties that resemble what we had in Vietnam. Just as well.
Working journalists I knew in Saigon looked forward to the party, or better, what was really a series of parties that took place at year's end, usually in private villas in different parts of the city. Going to one meant you went to all. I was not sure then, and now, this many years later, am still not sure who went to which party, and who I saw where. With a strict curfew, it was not possible to visit more than one shindig. If you were a Westerner, you could stay all night, something many of us did, and return to where you lived early the next morning when the curfew ended.
Usually a Vietnamese rock band provided the music. The group was gone before curfew because jail beckoned if they were caught breaking that rule. Sometimes the music came from a cassette recorder plugged into a cheap speaker system. No curfew to worry about there.
Scratch any journalist. Scratch any military information officer. Scratch any American diplomat. Scratch any foreign military attaché or diplomat. Scratch any big-time contractor. All these and more would on occasion be at one or more of these parties. The food was good. The drinks flowed. You often had a choice of hash fudge made with Swiss chocolate. Obviously the soup was rich in more ways than one. Or hash soup made from a thick base of canned tomatoes, condensed milk, carrots and celery, a bit of garlic, some cilantro and heavily infused with chunks of crab. A delight. A treat. A surprise if you had no clue what you were eating.
Not to belabor a point, Vietnam was a different war with different rules, different parameters, and different attitudes. Covering the war was dangerous, but in some ways not as dangerous as it is to cover Iraq. Covering any war is dangerous. I will not compare or contrast how the coverage differed. The country, the climate, attitudes toward the war at home, the draft and lack of it – meaning who the soldiers are and where they come from – all play into the public's awareness of the current battleground, usually far from the village square – read neighborhood – where a person lives, loves and hopefully dies in peace.
Going to these yearly parties was one small part of how we covered the Vietnam War. What we covered and how we presented it to our audience in America had nothing to do with the war's direction and thus its outcome, despite the fact that many of our detractors believed we, the press, were determining the outcome of the war, a war that grew more divisive in the country and in the States.
But we did have those yearly parties. The next day, as we wandered home to our billets, our hooches, our apartments and hotel rooms, our heads bursting from too much booze and the lingering taste of other illicit things, our need to continue covering the war was foremost in our minds. We had bureaus to run, stories to report, bills to pay, home offices we had to sometimes obey, placate and more often than not, annoy.
So, where is a party similar to "The Light at the End of the Tunnel" that we need for perspective, for relief, and for a meeting of minds, as difficult as that may have seemed? Where is the party that sees people from almost all walks of the war come together for a brief moment to put aside hostility, hatred, and distrust? Where is the outlet in Iraq for the press, government officials, contractors and anyone else who had anything to do with the war to let his and her hair down, if only for a moment, before each person gets back to work dissecting the horror of war and all it brings, including obscene profits? I am assuming it doesn't exist. I cannot say that is good or bad. It just is. America is a different place. Cliché or not, the world has changed and not for the better. Despite the seriousness of the war in Vietnam, we made the opportunity to let ourselves really go that one night a year, if only briefly. Sometimes it was more than enough to get us through the next weeks and months, all which threatened to be worse than the previous ones. And, to no one's surprise, they always were. Or, and this is as likely as any other theory, there are simply not enough journalists in Iraq to make the necessary quorum the party needs to make it work.
Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. And, to all, a good night.

1. Choose a wide field
Find a spacious flat place, try not to have many people and obstacles, because you will not be able to keep a straight line when you just learn, the ground should be flat!
2. Pay attention to the center of gravity foot
How to judge which of your feet is the center of gravity is to stand upright with both feet?
Ask a friend to push you without notifying you,and the foot you unconsciously take is the foot of gravity.The center of gravity foot is the foot that you step on the pedal first!
3. The position of the foot
The length of the shoe exposed in the position before and after the pedal is equal, that is, the center of the shoe is facing the center of the pedal, leaning forward and leaning back is not conducive to your learning.
4.Center of gravity forward
Mastering the overall center of gravity of the body is forward. Some people press down with the front half of their feet. Although tired, it also helps to find the feeling.
The slower the harder!Sometimes movement speed is too slow to grasp, so, a certain forward speed is necessary.
6.Keep from falling when shaking
If the body falls to the left, the handlebar will turn to the right, a rightward reaction force and centrifugal force will be generated, and the body will be straightened.
Keep your eyes on the front. Don’t look down. Keep your upper body as straight as possible.The balance organ of the person is the semicircular canal in ear ear hypophysis, when you lower your head it is difficult to grasp balance.
The seemingly simple structure gives complex high-tech elements, high safety performance, and at the same time it can be very convenient to travel without polluting the environment.

On December 12th Tokyo Gas Co Ltd and The Chugoku Electric Power Co Inc agreed to a partnership to procure liquefied natural gas (LNG) and potentially share assets and resources. The Japanese energy providers may also co-operate for the supply of LNG to each other's customers in emergency situations.
The agreement between the companies was signed a few days after Tokyo Gas announced the expansion of its LNG business as part of its 2030 plan. On November 27th the company said that it expected its growth in the next decade to come from a combination of renewable energy and natural gas, primarily through overseas expansions. Tokyo Gas aims to acquire renewable power assets and increase energy production by tenfold, from 490 MW in 2019 to 5 GW in 2030.
Accordingly, Tokyo Gas expects to triple its overseas profits by 2030, majorly from investments in renewable energy. The company expects overall profit to increase by 67% to ¥200bn (US$1.84bn) by 2030, of which the overseas business is expected to contribute about US$460m.
On the same day Tokyo Gas formed a joint venture with France's Engie SA to develop six renewable energy projects in Mexico, which are expected to produce total output of about 900 MW. The Japanese company said that it would expand LNG trading in its domestic and foreign markets, and scale it to 5m tonnes by 2030. Tokyo Gas expects to grow organically in the first half of fiscal 2020 and then pursue mergers and acquisitions to accelerate growth in the second half.
