PETALING JAYA: Malaysia Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad is creating unfriendly diplomatic relationships with big nations which may effect Malayia’s economy and Malaysians.
MCA president Wee Ka Siong said the country would have to pay a “huge price” for his bad comments and diplomatic relationship.
“The government should avoid having any arguments with big nations but be practical in developing the economy.
“In the current international circumstances, only by maintaining amicable diplomatic relationships with other nations can we create more business opportunities for our country.”
Wee said Mahathir had offended Saudi Arabia by inviting Iran and Qatar leaders to participate in the KL Summit.
He also criticised India on a new citizenship law , which drew a strong protest from the Indian government. Malaysian embassy was summoned by the Indian external affairs ministry for an explanation.
Mahathir has also criticised the United States, the United Kingdom and France, in a speech at the United Nation General Assembly.
“He is known to like picking fights with the world’s biggest nations.
“There seems to be no end to our diplomatic disasters,” Wee said in a post on Facebook today.
Tun Mahathor is well known to be always critical of the United States.
“The United States is wary of Tun Mahathir.”
Mahathir should not interfere in the internal matters of other countries, and focus on improving Malaysia economy first.
“We also do not want to see other nations interfering with our internal affairs.
“If Tun Mahathir continues to offend more countries, our younger generations may have to pay the price for what he has done.
“What is the point of saving face for yourself when we are going to lose the entire world as friends?” Wee asks.

Upcoming book information the presidents crazy week and a tense relationship with the homeland security secretary
Donald Trump talked about shooting migrants in the legs to slow them down, after buying consultants to close down the whole US-Mexico border , the New York Times reported on Tuesday.
The president likewise recommended amazing the border wall and strengthening it with spikes, and discouraging migrants with a moat equipped with alligators or snakes, according to the Times , which excerpted the upcoming book Border Wars: Inside Trump’s Assault on Immigration.
Based on interviews with lots of authorities within the White House and the administration, Times press reporters Michael D Shear and Julie Hirschfeld Davis state “a crazy week of governmental rages” in March, throughout which Trump’s “passion to stop migration had actually sent him stumbling for options, another severe than the next”.
The discoveries in the Times report remain in line with the president’s public mindset towards migrants getting to the southern border. In 2015, he openly recommended that soldiers shoot migrants who toss rocks at them.
Although Trump ultimately pulled back from his most severe tips, he likewise apparently fired consultants and assistants who pressed back versus his concepts.
The story states a particularly tense relationship in between Trump and homeland security secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, who frequently discovered herself in the position of informing the president why he could not break laws and global standards willy-nilly.
Nielsen was ultimately dismissed, at the advising of the White House assistant Stephen Miller, the designer of Trump’s migration program, who supposedly informed Trump that much of his authorities were incorrect to mention the legal obstacles to enacting the president’s propositions.
Although Trump’s border wall, the building of which has actually now started after the Pentagon enabled the moving of $3.6 bn in military funds to fund it, still does not include moats filled with spikes or reptiles, his administration has actually discovered other methods to keep migrants and refugees away.
In a federal court hearing on Tuesday, migration supporters asked judges to obstruct a crucial migration policy that requires asylum applicants to await their court hearings in Mexico, where they are not safe and do not have access to attorneys.
In a report launched Tuesday, the advocacy group Human Rights First stated that there have actually been more than 340 public reports of rape, kidnapping, abuse and other violent criminal offenses versus asylum hunters went back to Mexico under the brand-new Trump policy.
Last week, the administration revealed that it would set the cap for refugee admissions at an all-time low.
The supreme court likewise ruled to permit the Trump administration reject asylum to anybody who goes through another nation on their method to the United States, obstructing most Central American migrants getting away violence and hardship who get to the southern border.
In a dissenting viewpoint, justices Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Sonia Sotomayor stated that the policy “impacts a few of the most susceptible individuals in the western hemisphere”.

- Another Good Question
I was good at school. So good that I tend to take that same attitude towards life and they do no correlate. But I have that tendency to think of receiving a fellowship or getting into a workshop that requires an application as an achievement. It’s obvious that of course I would apply for a fellowship or a residency or a workshop.
Except, I asked myself a question this time before taking time away from writing to pull together an application including an artist’s statement – Do I want my writing life to look like the life of the people involved in the organization? I looked at the teachers, the past participants and the people who were on the board of these organazations. I looked at their funding and their mission statements. Once I had that criterion, the decision was easy to make.
Finishing a story and sending it out has been a challenge in the past. What I needed and still need is a process that takes the emotion out of it. I could look at reviewing my work and trying different methods as an experiment. I’ve looked over the time I’ve spent editing fiction this year and it’s 0 minutes. I’m not talking about my cycling back over the previous words, I’m talking about listening to my work for dropped words and things that don’t make sense.
An artist’s life is about finishing projects and moving to the next project. Do that enough times and you have a body of work. Not finishing means you have nothing.
- Old School – 10-Minute Timer
Yep. Going old school with the 10-minute timer and letting that be enough to work through my first drafts.
Keep moving forward.

Wilkinson, Anne. “Dissection.” Canadian Poetry Magazine 11.2 (1947): 39-40.
We crawl through craniums; stare
Beneath the bone at spasms; redden
At the grey twitched ultimatums;
We touch the guilty puddle where the nerve roots
Launch their tippy boats to shoot the heart;
Observe which curled inch
Controls the meadow of the hand, which pipe
Dictates the course of sewers in our city.
We clock the ragged pulse
That hammers out our imagery, unravel
Every sleeping snake
And travel to the threshold of its sting.
And while we squint to focus microscopes,
Dissect each bleeding head,
Sun bursts in splendor from a bloody skull,
And angel shedding glory, come to free
The puppet dangled from a mildewed coil.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- What is a drafter?
- What is a computer-aided drafter?
- Where do computer-aided drafters work?
- What is the current job outlook for drafters?
- What else should I know?
- I have more questions about drafting and design at CTC. Where can I find answers?
What is a drafter? [top]
Drafters produce detailed drawings with exact dimensions and specifications. Drafters must translate ideas into drawings, and therefore, they are an integral link between an idea and it's finished product.
Almost all drafters now use CAD (Computer-Aided Drafting) to make layouts, working plans, assembly drawings and maps from notes and sketches. They put the plans and designs of architects, engineers or designers in written form. To show the use or purpose of an object, drafters draw several views of each part in detail. These views enable workers to see the object's application in an assembly and where it fits in the overall design. In many fields today, drafters are responsible for creating 3D computer models and renderings of their designs.
What is a computer-aided drafter? [top]
Computer-aided designs (CAD) drafters use computers and specialized software to draw designs in almost all manufacturing and design industries today. They may work on components in specialized industries to the broadest of applications in city planning and mapping. The drafters typically use software specialized for their particular industry and create drawings, computer renderings, computer models and sometimes videos of particular designs. These designs may be printed on large-scale plotters, large renderings, movies, videos and even 3D printers today.
Where do computer-aided drafters work? [top]
Drafters work in construction, petroleum, transportation, automobile, manufacturing, machinery, aircraft and shipbuilding industries. They work for government agencies, contractors, utilities, consulting engineers, architects and in electronics and defense programs. To produce any product today, manufactures need detailed drawings created by today's drafters. To supply these plans, drafters work in industries that make everything from toys to spacecraft.
Drafters usually work 40 hours per week during normal daytime hours and usually work in pleasant, heated and air conditioned areas. In some companies, there may be a number of drafters working in a large office. In others, there may be only one drafter who works alone.
Advancement for drafters is often based on their productive ability and management capability. Entry level drafters may advance to more senior level drafters or head-of drafting and designs departments. Many drafters work closely with engineers, architects and other designers. Some drafters may advance to supervisory or administrative positions and, with additional education, may become architects or engineers.
What is the job outlook for drafters? [top]
According to the U.S. Department of Labor (http://www.bls.gov/ooh/architecture-and-engineering/drafters.htm):
Overall, employment of all drafters is expected to grow six percent from 2010 to 2020, slower than the average for all occupations. However, growth will vary by specialty.
Work from construction projects will likely continue to create demand for architectural and civil drafters, and because this work should be kept in the United States, employment is expected to grow by three percent. Because new technology reduces costs, architectural and civil drafters who can master new software programs, such as BIM and PDM, also should find opportunities in various industries.
Employment of mechanical drafters is expected to experience about an average growth and electronic and electrical drafters are expected to experience slower than average growth from 2010 to 2020. Demand for mechanical and electrical and electronic drafters is expected to be notably high in engineering and drafting service firms because of more complex problems associated with new products and manufacturing processes.
What else should I know? [top]
No special licensing or certification is required for computer-aided design (CAD) technicians. Membership in a professional group can help them keep up with the changing technology.
Helpful qualities for CAD technicians include an ability to adapt to new ideas and an ever-changing technology, creativity, an ability to pay attention to detail, concentration and patience, extreme accuracy and the ability to work with others or as a team.
THE GOOD SIDE
Some CAD technicians may like working in a progressive field, earn good pay and benefits, the opportunity to be creative and good advancement opportunities.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea: Match Preview and Prediction
Tottenham Hotspur are all set to host Chelsea in a battle for the fourth position in the Premier League, tonight. Which club will end in the top-four at the end of this year?
Well, that’s a bit tricky question considering the recent form of the two clubs. Spurs, however, are going to be with advantage as the game is going to be played at their home.
In the last league game, Tottenham defeated Wolves 2-1 away from home while Chelsea faced 1-0 defeat against Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge. Spurs are currently three points off the Blues on the seventh position with 26 points while Chelsea are on the fourth position.
A win in tonight’s game can put Spurs on the fourth position but a defeat can push them down to 8th position. Chelsea, on the other hand, would like to end their year on a high note but their current form hasn’t been impressive.
Chelsea have lost four out of their last five league matches while Spurs have won their last six consecutive league games at home.
Hugo Lloris, Michel Vorm, Erik Lamela, Ben Davies, and Tanguy Ndombele are sidelined from the Spurs team for this match.
As for Chelsea, Fikayo Tomori, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Olivier Giroud are going to sit out of this fixture.
Harry Kane vs Antonio Rudiger
This is going to be a one-sided battle as Harry Kane is in phenomenal form while Antonio Rudiger just returned from injury and played a couple of games.
The Englishman has scored nine goals and provided two assists in his nine league appearances this season while Rudiger is averaging 1.5 tackles per game and five clearances per game in his two league appearances.
Kane along with Son Heung-Min will create a lot of problems for Chelsea’s defensive line. These two together can run a riot against a struggling backline of the Blues. Rudiger has to be rock-solid to stop Spurs’ forwards.
Davinson Sanchez vs Tammy Abraham
Tammy Abraham shocked everyone with his performances in the Premier League, however, the Englishman hasn’t been impressive in the last few games for the Blues.
The Chelsea forward has scored 11 goals and provided three assists in his 16 league appearances so far. While Davinson Sanchez has made 1.7 tackles per game and 4.4 clearances per game in his 13 league appearances.
Sanchez will try to press Abraham and provide him no space for scoring while the Englishman will try to provide his side an early breakthrough that will create pressure on the home side.
The two sides haven’t been impressive in this season so far, but the fourth-place finish is at stake and any club would like to end their year on a good note. Especially, Spurs who reached Champions League final and then their poor performance display resulted in Mauricio Pochettino’s sacking.
Spurs have a great attacking line and Chelsea’s defensive line is just opposite of it. So, we might get to see a good offensive display from the home side. Also, Tottenham have home advantage and that will create pressure on the visitors.
So, after considering everything, I believe that Spurs will score a couple of goals, but they will fail to keep a clean-sheet.
Predicted score: Tottenham Hotspur 2 – 1 Chelsea

Previous posts showed how to write a highly accurate description of an API interface contract with the OpenAPI specification. But an interface contract, no matter how brilliant, is nothing without some explainations. A fully documented OpenAPI specification file can provide some useful information and be used as a part of an API’s documentation.
Writing OpenAPI (fka Swagger) Specification tutorial
This tutorial is composed of several posts:
- Part 1: Introduction
- Part 2: The basics
- Part 3: Simplifying specification file
- Part 4: Advanced data modeling
- Part 5: Advanced input and output modeling
- Part 6: Defining security
- Part 7: Documentation
- Part 8: Splitting specification file
- Part 9: Extending the OpenAPI specification (coming soon)
In previous parts we’ve learned to create highly accurate API description, in this seventh part we’ll learn how to use the OpenAPI specification to make it a valuable part of an API documentation.
All tutorial’s files are available on GIST.
If you’re a bit lost in the specification, take a look at my [visual documentation:
API’s general informations
First things first. When using an API, API consumers want to have some general informations about it like its version, its name, some description, term of service, how to contact the API provider, what kind of licencing it uses. The
info object placed on root level can be used to provide such information:
Categorizing operations with Tags
tags on operation level, we can categorize operations.
tags is a simple list of names.
This operation belongs to the
An operation can belong to different categories:
We can add some descriptions at almost every level of the OpenAPI specification.
description can be added to security definitions:
Schema title and description
Each schema (used in a definition, a parameter or a response) can have a
title and a
Properties can be described with
Whether defined inline or in
parameters section, a parameter can have a
Inline parameter’s description
Reusable parameter’s description
Operation’s summary, description and operationId:
An operation can be described with a
summary and a longer
operationId can be added. It can be used as a link to the implementation running behind the API for example.
Whether inline or defined in
responses, a response can have a

In almost all
description, we can use
GFM (Github Flavored Markdown). To check if an object description support GFM, take a look at my visual documentation or the original specification.
Note that GFM support can vary depending the tool processing the OpenAPI specification file.
Simple multiline description
By adding a
| and a new line with a new tab, we can write multiline descriptions:
Simple GFM description
Description with array
Description with code
Examples can be provided for atomic or object properties, definitions, and responses.
Atomic property example
Atomic properties can be illustrated with an
Object property example
Object properties, can also be illustrated with a complex
example complying to the underlying JSON Schema:
An example can be defined for the entire definition just like for an object property (it must conforms to its underlying JSON schema):
On response level, we can provide
example, each one corresponding to a media type returned by the operation. Here’s an example for an application/json media type:
If we defined examples on multiple levels (property, object, definition, response), it’s always the higher level which is taken into account by tools processing OpenAPI specification file.
An operation can be deprecated by setting
Links to external API documentation
In most case, the OpenAPI specification file MUST NOT be the only API’s documentation. How to create an application key, use cases, operation chaining and many other things need to be documented. All these other documentations can be separated from the specification file. However, the OpenAPI specification allow to provide links to these other documentations when needed.
Link to general API documentation
We can add an
externalDoc object on root level with a link to the API documentation.
Link to specific operation documentation
Each operation can have its own link to an external documentation using the same
Link to tag documentation
A tag’s description can also provide an external link:
Even if an OpenAPI specification MUST NOT be the only documentation for an API, it can be a good part of it, and you now have mastered this aspect of the specification. In next post we’ll see how we can split a OpenAPI specification file in different files.

I bought the Plus-Plus lion tube recently after a visit at the zoo in Copenhagen. What I really wanted was some beige Plus-Plus colors and this seems to be the best way to get them.
Plus-Plus colors in the lion tube
- 51 beige
- 38 brown
- 8 white
- 2 tan
- 2 black
101 blocks in total. It’s bit interesting that the tube says 100 pieces when there are actually 101. It was the same with the mermaid tube I reviewed. Can’t really complain about getting ekstra Plus-Plus blocks.
This was a blast to build. It uses all pieces, so no leftovers and I don’t feel there are any unnecessary blocks.
The build looks like a lion and is not super fragile, which is always a plus! The colors works and I personally wouldn’t change them.
This is my favorite Plus-Plus tube reviewed, so far based on the build itself. The set doesn’t have a lot of colors, so if that is what you are going for then maybe this isn’t the best tube for you.
If you already have the basic colors then the beige is a really nice addition to your builds. I already made my first video using this color.

Road Trains are massive, almost as massive as this Supersized challenge at the Nindigully Pub. Meet the Nindigully Road Train Burger. Not sure of the weight on this one, but if the 1.2kg Meat Patty is anything to go by, I'd say with chips, sauce and onion rings, this would weigh in somewhere around 3-4kg! The Challenge: Eat the Nindigully Road Train burger in one sitting with french fries, onion rings and a selection of sauces. The Prize: Nothing from what I can tell, but you'd surely get boasting rights anywhere in Australia!
From: Email from Corinne
ONE GREAT AUSSIE THING TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE ? STOP FOR A BITE TO EAT AT THE NINDIGULLY PUB IN WESTERN QLD! The tiny township of Nindigully is located on the edge of the Queensland outback - 160km west of Goondiwindi, about 530km west of Brisbane, and approximately 70 km north of the Queensland/New South Wales border. Nindigully Pub is Queensland's oldest hotel, located in its original condition and position on the banks of the Moonie River. The licence was issued in 1864 after operating as shearers accommodation for the Nindigully Station.
The "boom" town has now been reduced to just two houses, the pub, the old general store and the town hall, with a population of six!
Nevertheless, it was voted the Best Country Pub in Australia in 2006 by 44 Australia magazine, and you can see why - it has become famous for its truckie's feed of the Nindigully Road Train Burger this giant hamburger is served with French fries, onion rings and a selection of sauces, says it will feed 1- 4 people, and costs $36 - the meat patty alone is 1.2kg!
How do you reckon you'd go?????

Blog Tour | Review: BRYCE by Natalie Decker + Giveaway
** I received an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review **
Bryce is a Young Adult/New Adult story and the book number one in the Scandalous Boys series by Natalie Decker. Also, it’s the first book I’ve read by her and I completely fell in love with it. By the way, I like when there are boys in the covers, and I know I do not have to judge a book by its cover but, did you see the boy? He is gorgeous, and has really beautiful eyes, from the beginning —synopsis included— I liked it. Anyway, Bryce plunges us into the funny, and lovely story about Bryce and Madison’s lives; it’s a dual POV book, what made more enjoyable my read, because I had —and you’ll have— the chance to know, and understand all their thoughts, and feelings by first hand.
At first, we can see that their relationship is based on a mutual hate, all this due to some things that happened when they were kids —nothing bad, just normal kid things; those actions from their pasts take them to the point that they cannot be around without say or do anything to upset the other, but they’re neighbors and there’s a reason that makes harder for her to keep herself away, she has a really big crush on his best friend, Graham, so yeah, she hangs around Bryce a lot; I’m admitting it, that made my reading more satisfactory —all their interactions plunged me more and more in the plot and that’s something good.
While Madison’s been secretly in love with a boy who just sees her as a little sister, and if I’m honest with you, he’s just using her because she’s a smart girl, and everyone knows it; Bryce’s been living his life as he wants, doing what he wants —which sometimes gets him in trouble—, and without caring for what other people say.
Then, when Madison’s annoying cousin comes to live with her and her family, she’s put aside, seeing how her cousin takes almost everything from her, including Graham. Here’s when Bryce comes to her life and all starts to change between them. Madison learns that you don’t have to judge a person from rumors you hear. And Bryce realized that Madison isn’t the prissy girl he thought she was.
Bryce is sexy, sweet —even when he’s not admitting it—, bad —in a good way—, funny, kind, and has a lot of love to give.
Bryce can never have her, and he's perfectly fine with that. Sometimes the fantasy is better than the reality anyway.
But a good love story cannot be so easy, where's the fun in getting together without a little drama on it? Madison and Bryce’s love story demonstrates that even when love does appear when you don’t expect it, and makes you go through some bad things to get it —plus those secrets and people that attempt in destroy what you’ve just realized you can have, all that worth if at the end you can be with the person that makes you a happy, and better person.
See how both of them accept and confess to themselves their real feelings for the other it’s a read I highly recommend. Not only if you’re in the NA/YA thing but if you’re looking for a good story. Not an original next door boy love? Maybe, but Bryce is one of those book that you must give a chance because doesn’t matter if there’s not many original differences from others, it can take you beyond.

Try something traditional, even if it's not your tradition.
I am kind of ashamed to say that I don’t know much about the Jewish culture despite the fact that I worked for a Jewish family for a long time and had a close friend that was Jewish. Also, I have been to a few weddings where they stomped on a glass wrapped in a napkin and yelled “Mazel Tov!” and lifted the newlyweds on chairs. I have even danced the Hora! But one thing I have never done is cook a traditional Jewish dish. Of course I am familiar with some things, like Matzo Ball Soup and Gifelte fish, Potato Latkes and Brisket. But there is one dish I have never tried or even heard of. That is Sweet Noodle Pudding, sometimes called Noodle Kugel.

We have a choice in how we deal with each situation, they say.
It may not be easy. But it sounds that way.

Live AIM-120 AMRAAM Missile Still Missing with Search Underway.
A Spanish Air Force Eurofighter Typhoon combat aircraft accidently fired an AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) while flying near Otepää in Estonia, less than 50 km west of the Russian border. The missile has not been recovered. The last assumed location of the missile is roughly 40 km to the north of the city of Tartu, and its direction was northbound. The incident took place on Tuesday, August 7, 2018 sometime around 3:45 PM local.
A search is currently underway for the wreckage of the missile. According to a statement by Estonian Defense Forces, the AIM-120 AMRAAM was equipped with an automatic destruct mechanism intended to destroy the missile if it were accidentally discharged, but officials could not confirm if the missile had been destroyed. They have issued an official hotline phone number in Estonia to call immediately if parts of the missile are found, and the public is cautioned not to touch or approach suspected missile debris. The phone number to report suspected missile fragments in Estonia is: +372 717 1900.
The Eurofighter Typhoon that accidentally fired the missile was based at Šiauliai, Lithuania, where it returned following the incident. Conflicting reports say the aircraft had either been participating in a training exercise or a QRA (quick reaction alert) drill: considered that alert aircraft carry live missiles, the latter seems more likely, even though aerial exercises in the context of enhanced air policing operations may involve armed aircraft.
The aircraft that accidentally discharged the missile was accompanied by another Spanish Typhoon and two French Mirage 2000 according to Estonia’s Ministry of Defense. This means the Eurofighter Typhoon C.16 was one of the six aircraft contingent from the Spanish military that assists with the NATO enhanced air policing mission in the region along with other aircraft. The air policing mission has received significant notoriety over the last years because of increased Russian air activity in the region, with the NATO air policing patrols frequently tasked with interception and escort of Russian aircraft.
Estonia’s Prime Minister Juri Ratas posted on Facebook that there were “No human casualties,” and characterized the incident as “extremely regrettable.”
He went on to say, “I am sure that the Estonian defense forces will, in cooperation with our allies, identify all the circumstances of the case and make every effort to make sure that nothing like this happens again.”
The incident calls into question the protocols associated with using live weapons in close proximity to civilian areas, and also raises concerns about the safety of the NATO air policing mission. What are the procedures for firing a live missile? How can a missile be fired by “accident”? Isn’t there a sort of Master Armament Switch that prevents arming the missiles?
This incident does appear to be unique however, with other accidental discharges of air-to-air missiles, especially in areas proximate to NATO patrol areas, being non-existent. In general, these patrol flights have historically exhibited a good safety record, free from accidental weapons releases.

U2 releases "Mofo" single
"Mofo" is the sixth and final single from U2's 1997 album Pop.
Continuing a common theme in U2's lyrics, the song was partially written about Bono's mother, whom he lost at the age of fourteen. Other songs which Bono wrote about his mother include "Lemon", "I Will Follow" and "Tomorrow".
"Mofo" opened every concert from the 1997-1998 PopMart Tour. Although the studio version released on the album was more techno-oriented, live performances had an increased rock sound. It appears in the concert film PopMart: Live from Mexico City and also on Hasta la Vista Baby!, a live album from the same show.
1. "Mofo" (Phunk Phorce Mix) – 8:43
2. "Mofo" (Mother's Mix) – 8:56
3. "If God Will Send His Angels" (The Grand Jury Mix) – 5:40

This week we’ll analyze one of my own recent dreams:
In my dream, I was living in the house I rented after I first got married, back in the 1970s. I was doing some chore that involved going in and out of the attached garage. Suddenly, I saw that an old VW bus was rolling out of the garage. The engine wasn’t on, so there was apparently some problem with the brakes. Even though the bus backed out of the garage, the next thing I knew, it was rolling forwards down the slight incline of the road. It veered off the street onto a grass strip, and it looked as if it was going to crash through the neighbor’s 8-foot-tall, bamboo fence. But it came to a halt just before it got to the fence. I ran toward it, but stopped abruptly when I saw two adults climb out of the bus and run away. They looked like down-and-outers, for sure homeless, maybe addicts. One was a man, the other I didn’t get a clear image of, but it might have been a woman.
How do you begin to work with a dream?
Always the first challenge with any dream is to try and remember it, bringing it all the way from the sleep state into full consciousness. This can be a frustrating endeavor. I have lost count of the number of dreams I felt had importance and should be looked at carefully, but which I was unable to remember by the time I was in the shower and getting dressed. This, despite the fact that I was convinced I would remember them as I lay in bed, slowly waking up.
I have tried all kinds of methods. For me, writing a dream down first thing in the morning usually doesn’t work because my mind says, “Right! I’ll get that written down just as soon as I open my eyes—which I’m sure to do in a couple more minutes.” Then, by the time I actually do open my eyes, the dream is gone.
For a while, when I was first learning to work with dreams, I set my alarm to go off every two hours during the night. Then, when I remembered a dream—which I usually did—I used a voice recorder to mumble some barely coherent description into the microphone. That worked pretty well. But it also took a kind of youthful, fanatic passion that I no longer have.
Now, I simply make the mental decision that this is a dream I need to remember. And then, I repeat the dream to myself over and over, all during the waking-up process. It has taken me a long time to learn to do that, and even more, to discipline myself to do it. Now, it’s easier; I’ve made it into a habit, and it works well.
The next step
On Wednesday, we’ll discuss the next important step: divorcing myself from any emotional impact of the dream’s plot.

ABC managing director David Anderson has doubled down on calls for the broadcaster to be reimbursed by Google and Facebook for content.
It was revealed last month the ABC had put forward its case to be included in revenue sharing between tech giants and media businesses, as part of the ACCC’s mandatory code.
Speaking at the National Press Club yesterday, Anderson continued the calls.
“I think it’s totally appropriate that the ABC receives revenue for the value that it provides to the Australian people,” he said.
“Rather than revenue go to commercial operators because of what we’re doing, I think that it should come to the ABC to reinvest it into public interest journalism.”
While commercial broadcasters will argue Google and Facebook have taken a share of their advertising revenue, Anderson’s argument for the ABC to be reimbursed centred around its value to Australians.
“I certainly accept that it’s difficult times for commercial operators. They’re doing it tough. They’re relying on a revenue stream which is falling and falling dramatically,” he said.
“I think the ABC performs a different role. While others will retreat from the regions and retreat from being local [the ABC] is about being more local and I think that’s our great point of difference.
“If we derived revenue from that and from our services, we’d be investing that back into more content and more services for the public.”
Rather than offsetting government budget cuts, Anderson said any such payments would go towards the ABC’s commercial revenue total, which reached $4 million during the 2018/19 financial year.
“We do try to commercialise whatever we can,” he said. “It’s not an enormous amount of money, but of course the mandatory code might change that.”
The ACCC is due to hand down a draft version of the mandatory code later this month.

Audio Spectro's Bio
Chris Scates, better known as Audio Spectro, began his music career DJing in Houston, Texas at various gigs and clubs throughout the 1990s alternating from House to Techno one night and 80s dance the next.
After joining the Army, Chris traded in his turntables and mixers for synthesizers, keyboards and a computer. He spent the early 2000s experimenting and learning about sound engineering and music production. While living in Germany, Chris ghost wrote several tracks for vocalists.
It was not until 2013 that Chris began writing music and recording tracks for himself, and then Audio Spectro was born. In 2014, Audio Spectro signed with Nub Country Records out of London, UK, releasing Electroverse (EP-2015), Each Passing Second (Single-2016), and An Epic World (LP-2018) distributed by Warner Music UK. Audio Spectro also signed with Refrained Music out of London, UK to release a Synthwave EP, Stella Somnia (2018).
However most of Audio Spectro’s releases are with longtime friend and DeepDownDirty Records owner, Maya Stone out of Surrey, UK. Releases included several singles with remixes, Universe (EP-2018) and Submit (EP-2020), as well as several releases through DeepDownDirty Records Techno, Acid, and House compilations.
Currently, Audio Spectro is working on projects with Kellerbeats (Germany) and VK Underground out of Madrid, Spain.


President Joe Biden nominated Elaine Trevino for Chief Agricultural Negotiator at the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR). This position is essential to protecting the interests of American agriculture and biotechnology.
Previously, the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) urged the administration to nominate a chief ag negotiator. BIO President and CEO Dr. Michelle McMurry-Heath’s provided testimony to the Senate Finance Committee in July 2021, and signed a trade coalition letter.
The chief agricultural negotiator “plays a pivotal role in opening markets for U.S. agriculture and crafting trade agreements to ensure a level playing field for U.S. farmers,” said Dr. McMurry-Heath.
Who is Elaine Trevino?
The first woman of color and first Latina who would fill the position, Trevino has a long career promoting agriculture exports. Currently President of the Almond Alliance of California, she previously served as Deputy Secretary of California’s Department of Food and Agriculture under Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, where she focused on the state’s ag exports.
“As the leader of an organization that advocates for California’s leading agricultural export, Elaine understands tariff and nontariff barriers to trade and the importance of maintaining America’s strong trade agreements and global positioning,” said U.S. Trade Rep. Ambassador Katherine Tai.
If confirmed, she’ll face tough challenges—including Mexico’s failure to comply with the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) by not issuing ag biotech approvals.

After Taiwan opened trade in Qing Dynasty, Western medicine was also brought into Taiwan by the medical missionaries of Presbyterian Church and by foreign medical staffs of the customs. It not only made a great impact on Taiwan, but also left very meaningful historical materials relevant to the observation and interpretation of local traditional medicine. There were a number of Western medical researches based on the Presbyterian Church, but only a few about the foreign medical staffs of the customs. Therefore, this article aims to discuss the observations of diseases and medical treatment of the foreign medical staffs in Taiwan-fu customs (included Taiwan-fu and Takow) and Tamsui customs (included Tamsui and Kelung) and tries to promote the research of diseases and Western medicine in Taiwan in Qing Dynasty.
First of all, it is worth noting that the medical staffs often used the environmental factors or living habits to explain the emergence of diseases. This was because in the nineteenth century, British doctors were influenced by the environmental medicine and tended to explain the emergence of diseases with this theory. They disagreed with the simple idea that diseases were caused by specific micro-organisms. In the historical materials they left, they proposed related medical advice according to the relevance of climate, geographical environment, health habits to disease.
Medical staffs of the customs had paid attention to the local people’s treatment and folk treatment. Since Western medicine was very different from the traditional treatment of diseases in Taiwan at that time, they also observed the local people’s viewpoints about western medicine and found that the local people turned to western medicine and treatment in malaria, skin diseases and surgical cases. This maybe has to do with the western medical treatment technology or medicine, which Chinese medicine or folk remedies lacked, or has to do with free or low cost medical treatment. Although most of the medical staffs thought that the local therapy was superstitious, interestingly, some of them recognized that the local medicine did show effectiveness in the treatment of skin diseases and started to use it. These medical staffs also urged those local people who opposed the autopsy to accept post-mortem so that they could enhance Pathological medical knowledge by examining the cause of death.

Mesa Verde National Park will receive nearly $10,000 from the National Park Foundation to fund its new winter exploration program, which will allow visitors to enjoy the sites year-round by creating snowshoe and ski trails to outlying areas, park officials said.
The Active Trails grant of $9,765 gives Mesa Verde the money to invest in a snowroller to help groom trails, signs to mark winter trails, winter trail guides, ecology brochures, binoculars and snowshoes, said Mesa Verde spokeswoman Betty Lieurance.
Our proposal was to develop several different avenues to help connect folks with the winter resources of the park, said Carol Sperling , also of Mesa Verde National Park. Not all of the archaeological sites are open in the wintertime so winter resources include everything else backcountry trails, cross country skiing opportunities. We hope to develop some sort of lecture series with our local partners that might be of interest to local people, whether that would occur here in the park or in one of the towns.
Lieurance said the parks winter exploration program will be a further development of the opportunities available only during colder months, cut short because of last years light snowfall.
The response to opening these trails to get people back into some of these canyons was tremendous, Lieurance said. The snow needs to fall to make it worthwhile. People can cross country ski the road or walk on the road, but a lot of people really want to get back in where they can see something. Even though you can see Cliff Palace, its not the same as being off on a trail out in the wilderness.
The Active Trails money is effective immediately and lasts through the end of the year, according to National Park Foundation grants and programs manager Katherine Chesson.
Chesson said the foundation chose Mesa Verde as one of 13 grant recipients in 2012 because of the uniqueness and sustainability of its proposal.
A lot of the other Active Trails projects sort of focus on summer and fall events and activities, and this one is aimed at getting visitors out to Mesa Verde in the winter, Chesson said. We thought it was cool in that its using the park in a way that maybe its not traditionally used, and its something that can be repeated in the future. Our money will not just be a one-time use, but the park will hopefully get several years of use out of it.
Chesson said the Active Trails program, now in its fourth year, tries to make national parks more relevant for their tourists and the local communities alike.
Active Trails is designed to get folks out into the parks, promote healthy lifestyles and community engagement through recreation and volunteer service, either improving or building trails, creating awareness around the trails in the parks so that they are a resource for (the communities) to use while also restoring the thousands of trails that exist as part of our national parks, Chesson said.
Officials hope the grant money also will lead to an economic boost in the area. Mesa Verde generates around $70 million in tourism-related revenue every year and helps support about 1,000 jobs in Montezuma County, Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., said in a news release.
Developing more recreational opportunities during winter what has traditionally been the shoulder season for national parks will help attract tourists, spur economic development in Montezuma and surrounding counties and inject much-needed revenue into the local economies during slower months, Udall said.

Our slabs reduce the amount of concrete by up to 20%
20 January 2021
Most construction projects are wasteful and cost much more than necessary. Geoplast offers a wide range of slab formworks made of recycled polypropylene (PP), that can reduce the use of concrete and lower the building costs.
Geoplast slabs use up to 20% less concrete than traditional solid slabs, with retained load-bearing capacity. They are therefore lighter, allowing for thinner bearing walls and fewer columns. This reduces the weight of the entire building structure, making it more seismically resilient. Less concrete also implies significant cost reduction of material and machinery, as well as reduced CO2 emissions, which can bring great benefits to environmental sustainability.

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – Officials say two suspects are in custody after leading police on a foot chase on Sunday afternoon.
Authorities say it all started as they were searching for suspected car thieves.
Investigators say they were able to track down a stolen vehicle by pinging the owner’s cell phone, which was still inside the car.
When they reached the suspects near May and N.W. Expressway, the two suspects took off running.
Officers eventually were able to find them hiding in a storm drain near I-240 and Western.
