Wine & cheese. They are quite the pair straight from the fridge or cutting board, but, melt them together and dip veggies, bread & fruit in it, it’s a whole different story!
I ate my weight (and then some) while in Switzerland my junior year of college. It’s the most amazing and comforting meal. So simple, but so delicious. It’s a commitment of a meal though, there’s a bit of work involved throughout, and it can be heavy. I remember a time that my friend Clare, who was studying in England while I was in la Suisse, came to visit. I took her (and my parents when they came too) to Les Armures. It’s this phenomenal Swiss restaurant in the Old Town, Jimmy Carter & Bill Clinton are big fans, (much to the dismay of my father) and it’s the best fondue meal I’ve ever had. Anyway, Clare and I went and, and we had the cheese fondue, onion soup, I think probably chocolate mousse too, and wine of course! At the end of the meal, Clare says: “I’ve never been drunk and full at the same time.” That’s exactly the feeling of too much fondue! (Or what I call a fon-don’t!! Bah, I really crack myself up. No?) There’s wine in the cheese, you’re drinking wine, it’s easy to overdo. It can be hard to keep track too of how much you’re really eating because everything is bite size, and you’re talking, dipping, it’s a lively and fun meal.
When I returned to the great US of A, my aunt & cousin gave me a fondue pot for my birthday. I used it a few times while away at college, we had dedicated family dinners- Taco Tuesday, calzones, and one night was fondue night. All my roommates, and our buddies as I refer to as the Tall Scrawny White Guys Club- Ben, Gian & Nate -were there, it was a great time. This weekend I decided to bring it back! Clare, Nate & Kate came over and we dined on melted Emmetaler and Gruyere cheeses with plenty of things to dip.
It was a great meal and so simple, once you cut your veggies and assemble your accoutrements all you have to do is mix up the cheese, wine, a touch of cornstarch and let it melt together. Yes, you need to keep the pot stirring occasionally and scrape the bottom, but it’s a pretty low maintenance dinner party.
There is usually some rule too- if you drop your bread in the pot, you have to kiss the person on your left. Keep that in mind for your next fondue party and be sure to seat your guests strategically.
The recipe real quick- I used Joy of Cooking’s Cheese fondue as a guide-
1 garlic clove, sliced in half
1/2 lb of Gruyere cheese, shredded
1/2 lb Emmetaler cheese, shredded
1 1/4 cups dry white wine
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
Rub fondue pot with garlic clove and discard. Add wine to pot and bring to a boil. Add cheeses and stir to help melt together. Once melted add the cornstarch and continue stirring so that the wine & cheese combine. Keep the setting on low and continue to stir occasionally, serve with what you like!

The Regulation on Indoor Heating and Air-conditioning Systems (RITE), promulaged by the Royal Decree 1027/2007 of 20 July 2007, came into force on 29 February 2008 after revision. The Regulation forms the basic legislative framework laying down the energy efficiency and safety requirements to be met by heating and cooling systems in buildings, with a view to meeting comfort and hygiene demands, during their design and sizing, construction, maintenance and use. It also specifies compliance procedures. The approval of this Regulation implies an advance in the transposing of the Directive 2002/91/EC on the energy performance of buildings, setting minimum energy efficiency requirements to be met by thermal systems in new and existing buildings and a procedure for the periodic inspection of boilers and air conditioning systems. The more stringent energy efficiency requirements laid down in RITE 2007 are: - Improved energy performance of heating and cooling equipment, and of equipment designed to transport fluids. - Improved insulation of heat transport equipment, pipes and fluids. - Better regulation and control to maintain the design conditions envisaged in air-conditioned premises. - Use of available renewable energy sources, particularly solar energy and biomass. - Incorporation of subsystems for heat recovery and utilisation of residual energy. - Mandatory metering systems for consumption for collective systems. - Gradual elimination of more polluting solid fuels. - Gradual elimination of less efficient generating equipment. This Regulation also forms one of the development programmes within the Energy Saving and Efficiency Plan, and will also help to achieve the objectives laid down by the Renewable Energy Promotion Plan, by encouraging greater use of solar thermal energy, particularly in the production of domestic hot water.

SECTION: Farewell to art
Besides “The Large Glass,” on which he worked for eight more years until abandoning it in 1923, Duchamp did only a few more ready-mades. One, a urinal entitled “Fountain,” he sent to the first exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists, in 1917. Although he was a founder-member of this society, he had signed the work “R.

He is currently working with a few start-ups and mentoring their founders.
He has worked for many corporates both as a contractor and employee, most recently at Microsoft.
He is proud to have worked with a talented team designing m-pesa, which is a successful micro finance platform used by millions (mainly in Africa) and considers this to be one of his greatest contributions so far
On the show we discuss being misdiagnosed with bipolar and schizophrenia and was detained in a mental health facility and the impact that had on him.
It was something I knew little about, but he says cases of misdiagnosis are common. Often leading to life changing conditions such as PTSD for those trapped, forcibly drugged, threatened, assaulted by those responsible for their care and their inactions, often due to the many complex pressures of the job imposed by those at the highest levels
Some key points from our interview:
· How he realises that he had a choice in how he reacted to what happened to him and chose to stay positive
· How he was arrested under the mental health act by the Police who considered he was a risk to himself due to misinformation
· How the more he spoke up about being misdiagnosed they thought that his paranoia feelings were actually part of his condition, and he was delusional
· How he’s passionate about sharing his story to help others despite being warned not to do so

I'd been awaiting Alexandre Dumas's The Last Cavalier Being the Adventures of Count Sainte-Hermine in the Age of Napoleon for months, but its publication date came and went with Amazon showing it unavailable. I'd stopped checking, but I'm heartened to find it's finally made an appearance, as swashbuckling a one as ever there was.
...Claude Schopp — France's pre-eminent Dumas scholar — discovered that, during the very last year of his life, the novelist, though ill, suffering and out of critical favor, had somehow turned out a daily newspaper serial about "the adventures of Count Sainte-Hermine in the age of Napoleon." Because of Dumas's death, the novel was never finished and consequently never published in book form. So Schopp assembled all the newspaper installments and edited them. Le Chevalier de Sainte-Hermine appeared in France in 2005 and is now brought out in an excellent English translation by Lauren Yoder as The Last Cavalier. It's absolutely wonderful.
Yes, it's full of melodrama and coincidence, shamelessly studded with every possible romantic cliche and period flourish, and old-fashioned enough in its storytelling to wander into lengthy historical and biographical digressions. What's more, we only possess the first third or so of the original mammoth saga envisioned by its author. (A letter exists outlining the entire plot.) No matter.
Bourbon loyalists! Shopping bills! A witch's prophecy! Malay pirates! Tigers and pythons! The battle of Trafalgar!
Dumas with the help of research assistants produced 300 volumes. I have so much more to look forward to...

My wife and I love this place! It is a perfect escape from Silicon Valley. The property is beautiful and the location is ideal with walking distance to the marine preserve and seal watching. We always use the bikes Seal Cove has available for a nice ride into town. The staff is always pleasant- especially Maya. We love both the happy hour and breakfasts. Looking forward to our next visit!

We stayed 2 nights in a lower garden patio room #3. Seal Cove Inn is a beautiful inn, and in a beautiful location. It has pretty views of the garden where we saw bunnies and quails, and the groves. We were greeted by Mia, who was a very pleasant hostess:). The rooms could use some updates, adding some color with the drapes, bedding, update the mustard yellow headboard, new carpet, or no carpet would be nice, just some refreshing, bed was too hard could use a better pillow top, and the tv was too small. Would be nice to have a coffee pot in the room, an ice machine in a common area for guests, and more art work on walls. Breakfast was gourmet, and pretty good. It would be nice if they offered breakfast delivered to your room, instead of all having to go into dining room between 8:30-10:00. Also, it would be great if they offered wine, and horderves between 5-7 like the other bed and breakfast inns. It was our 24th wedding anniversary, there was a nice note from the inn placed in front of 2 bottles of seal cove inn water........a bottle of wine would of been nice :). We would definitely go back to the Seal Cove Inn !!

This place is immaculate and amazing. We arrived late and the staff had a welcome package for us at the door. We happily made our way to our luxurious room and then to explore the gorgeous grounds. WOW! We were able to enjoy the flowering gardens a bit before the sun set and we were just in awe. It's a peaceful haven and so close to the ocean. After a delicious self-serve breakfast in the morning, we went down to the marine reserve for a walk and to explore the tide-pools. What fun! We wished we could have stayed much longer at this peaceful retreat. The only negative was that the lady at the front desk in the morning didn't seem to enjoy her job much. At other B&B's we've stayed at, the hosts have been inquisitive and bubbly. That was not the case here, but we still enjoyed our time so much.

Ghana-based solar power project developer Home Energy Africa Limited has announced major progress in the development of a 100 MW solar power project.
The United States Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) has awarded US$704,815 grant to Home Energy Africa for the development of 100 MW solar power project in Ghana. Home Energy Africa has selected US-based GreenMax Capital Advisors to carry out technical assessment of the project.
The Ghanian government has taken several measures in the recent past for development of solar power capacity in the country. In April, the largest solar power project in the country, till date, was commissioned. The 20 megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) project developed by the Chinese firm Beijing Xiaocheng Company (a subsidiary of Beijing Fuxing Xiao-Cheng Electronic).
Last year, The President of Ghana has announced that the levy on petroleum products will be increased to $0.02 per litre. As per the provisions of the customs and excise duty act in Ghana, liquefied petroleum gas will be exempt from the levy. A part of the revenue raised from this levy will be used to establish the Renewable Energy Fund.
In 2011, Ghana passed the Renewable Energy Act which introduced a feed-in tariff structure for project developers and renewable energy purchase obligation for distribution utilities. The Act gave powers to regulatory bodies to implement appropriate feed-in tariffs and renewable purchase obligation after discussions with stakeholders.

Westport Subsidiary To Supply LPG Systems To Algeria
By Mike Brezonick04 August 2020
Westport Fuel Systems Inc. announced a new contract between MTM, the fully owned Italian subsidiary of Westport Fuel Systems, and NAFTAL (the Algerian state-owned agency for distribution and sale of oil and gas) to supply 30,000 liquified petroleum gas (LPG) systems into the growing Algerian market.
The systems will be delivered in 2020 and 2021 and extends a long and successful partnership between MTM and NAFTAL that has already deployed more than 90,000 LPG systems in the last four years. The growing market demand for LPG conversions in Algeria is supported by government efforts to reduce the import of petrol and diesel and promote LPG as a clean and widely available national resource.
According to NAFTAL, Algeria has a current fleet of approximately 320,000 LPG vehicles representing 5.4% market share supported by a network of 680 filling stations. By 2024, it is projected that the market will grow to 1.3 million LPG vehicles or 19% market share with an expanded network of 1600 filling stations.
“This contract is further evidence of the solid partnership between MTM and NAFTAL and the quality and performance of our cost-competitive, clean LPG systems” said Massimiliano Fissore, executive vice president Transportation at Westport Fuel Systems. “We are proud to continue to serve our partner NAFTAL and support the national plan to grow the market share of LPG vehicles in Algeria” continued Marco Seimandi, vice president Sales and Marketing at Westport Fuel Systems.
“NAFTAL is highly committed to the achievement of the objectives set by the Algerian government to transition to the expanded use of LPG fuel” said Mustapha Nouri, Director of Branche de Commercialisation of NAFTAL. “The new contract assures the continuity of supply of LPG kits to the NAFTAL network of workshops providing highly reliable and high-performance equipment”.
NAFTAL, a branch of SONATRACH, is intended to ensure the energy security for future Algerian generations by enhancing national hydrocarbon resources and working for the economic and social development of the country. SONATRACH is a global energy supplier and the largest hydrocarbon company in Africa.

The Dark Side Of Open Data: It's Not Only How Much You Publish, But How And Why
"A few days ago, the World Wide Web Foundation established by Sir Tim Berners-Lee released the second edition of the Open Data Barometer, a report on the impact and prevalence of open data initiatives around the world. Turns out the UK government is the “most transparent” in the world, when it comes to public access to official data, with US and Sweden in second and third place respectively. That’s fantastic, isn’t it? Opening the data (which already belongs to the public, as it is produced with taxpayers’ money) can expose corruption and abuse, provide new insights on sensitive topics, help engage citizens in important debates, improving, in the end, the overall quality of democracies. So, kudos to the British and God forgive the Kenyans, whose country has fallen from to 22nd to 49th in the Barometer’s rankings. Shame on them.

We introduce a novel contrast enhanced perfusion analysis method maximum likelihood deconvolution (MLD) to estimate myocardial blood flow. MLD is designed to overcome difficulties that arise due to noise without compromising accuracy. MLD is evaluated using computer simulations and clinically in three volunteers. Simulation and clinical tests demonstrated that MLD is numerically stable and accurately estimates perfusion at clinical contrast:noise levels for cardiac perfusion values. MLD models dispersion of the contrast agent between the arterial and tissue curves, which is not usually accounted for by standard deconvolution analysis.

If you have grown cannabis before you might have observed this confusing trend. You can plant your favorite strain in the first attempt and get all the desired features and effects that you were looking for. You give yourself a tap on the back, well deserved!
You do this again and it becomes a complete disaster in spite of replicating the growing formula. The plants may look and even taste a little bit different from the first batch. Your desired indica traits may be closer to sativa than indica. There is only one explanation to this: different phenotypes.
The Age of Cannabis Hybridization
Cannabis hybrids have now become a popular thing. When done properly this represents the best of both worlds (sativa and indica) brought together in one strain. This is also an opportunity to harness the best phenotypes and propagate them.
For a long time cannabis growers were mixed up when choosing cannabis seeds to propagate. While indicas are desirable for the short flowering time and resin coated features, sativas offer the best in terms of cerebral buzz which is loved by consumers.
These two varieties of cannabis are on opposing ends of the spectrum when you consider their phenotypic expression. With hybrids it is possible to get a balance between the two, which is why it is easy to find a sativa that exhibits indica-like phenotypes and vice versa.
What Are Cannabis Phenotypes?
Cannabis, as well as other plants, are influenced by two factors: genetics and environmental factors. The genotype mostly refers to the genomic composition of the plant. This hidden genetic make-up gives birth to the external features that we can observe in the plant. It forms the basis for the expression of physical characteristics which make up the phenotype. It is easy to mistake the two but they are different.
The external environment helps to draw out the genotype so that it is expressed in the phenotype. If environmental conditions are not consistent, plants with similar genetic make-up may express their phenotypes differently. These differences will be expressed in terms of color, bud shape and density, aroma, and resin production.
Hence cannabis phenotypes have evolved consistently over the years through natural and man-made efforts.
For some growers, having different phenotypes in their grow is desirable as this will provide a range of desirable features. For others, consistency is key. However, most commercial growers would favor consistency over variety and this is why cloning and phenotyping is important.
Environmental Factors That Affect Cannabis Phenotypes
Cannabis genotypes produce certain traits based on environmental conditions. For example, purple hues are only expressed when cooler temperatures are present during the flowering phase of growth. Environmental factors will also affect the aroma, resin production, yields, and overall quality of the cannabis. You could have a high yielding variety of cannabis, but with fluctuating environmental conditions the high yield will not be achieved. If you take the same cannabis clone and subject it to two different environmental conditions the resulting plants will have different physical traits aka phenotypes.
RELATED: Do You Know The Difference Between Cannabis Strains, Phenotypes, And Cultivars?
The same applies when you take identical clones and give them to two different cannabis growers, the plant that they come up with will have the same genotype but may express different phenotypes. Even slight differences in growing conditions will affect the plant growth and end result. Factors such as temperature, humidity, and lighting conditions play a role in determining the physical traits of a strain.
Development of Phenotypes in Cannabis Plants
Phenotyping in cannabis starts as early during the formation of the seed. Unfavorable growing conditions will negatively affect the parent plant and may trigger phenotypic development before the seed ripens. Once the seed germinates, environmental conditions will allow for the development of certain traits.
Therefore, the environment helps to foster the traits of your plants at any given time. In most cases the dominant traits from the parent mask the expression of recessive traits in the strain. However, environmental fluctuations may force these recessive traits to be expressed. This is what creates the difference between different cannabis phenotypes.
How to Select a Cannabis Phenotype
When you collect seeds from a reputable cannabis seed bank you are likely to have a collection of different phenotypes of the same strain. You will need to grow a number of seeds and observe their characteristics as they begin to flower. Pick the seeds that display the most desirable traits and discard the rest. The traits here could include the colors, aroma, growth characteristics, yields, cannabinoid content, and resistance to disease. You can use these seeds to propagate your desired phenotype of cannabis.
RELATED: Is All Weed Basically The Same? Here’s What Scientists Recently Found
The process of phenotyping usually takes several years especially when it’s being done on a commercial scale. It entails taking clones of the best seeds and labeling to avoid mixing. These seeds are then propagated to produce offspring with similar traits. This is usually done to facilitate the mass production of cannabis strains with the best characteristics.
The clones are grown to a height of about 6–12” a height which can be cloned. This may take 4-6 weeks. The cannabis clones need to be cultivated separately during the vegetative phase. After this initial phase the clones will need to be transported to the light cycle where they can begin to flower. You may observe some difference in how the clones behave in this stage. Some might flower sooner than the rest while the bud sizes and yields may also vary. In about 10 weeks the plants should be ready for the harvesting stage.
RELATED: 5 Things To Know About The Endocannabinoid System
At this point you will have observed all the characteristics of the plants and you will be able to select the best clones. Take note of the bud structure, density, appearance, yield, and trichome gland population. Mediocre clones should be done away with. The clones you select will be used for the next generation until the generation with the best phenotypic features is realized. This may take several rounds of cloning and is likely to be a costly affair.
Cannabis Genotype Vs. Phenotype
The two terms are often used interchangeably but are not one and the same thing. A cannabis genotype refers to the unseen genetic characteristics that are passed on from parent to their offspring. A phenotype on the other hand refers to the physical traits that are passed on from the parents to their offspring. These traits may include the appearance of the flowers in terms of color and bud structure. It also includes the smell, flavor, and effects that are produced by the plant. The genotype influences the expression of some of the phenotypic features; this is where the two intertwine. However, some phenotype features are as a result of environmental influences.
Selecting the Best Cannabis Phenotype
If you are a commercial grower looking to replicate desirable traits your best chance is to find your dream phenotype and take cuttings from it. To do this you will need to know what exactly you are looking for, right?
Here are a few phenotypic characteristics that you should be looking out for.
This is one of the important things that you should be on the lookout for. The aroma of cannabis is a result of the terpenes that are present in the strain. However, this will also be influenced by the growing conditions.
Before purchasing a strain of weed most consumers will first sniff into the jar. While some users prefer sweet smelling varieties of cannabis a good number prefer to enjoy the skunkiness of myrcene in the strain. This is simply a matter of preference that should be a concern to the grower.
When selecting a phenotype, carefully consider the unique aroma that you desire to propagate knowing full well that this also represents the terpene profile.
This is another important aspect of a cannabis phenotype. Regardless of how the weed is going to be consumed, how it tastes will always draw or repel consumers. The taste helps to bring out all the qualities of the strain. Diversity is important as well and you can settle for phenotypes that have an eclectic mix of flavors.
Cannabis strains can be classified as either indica or sativa and this represents the effects that they are associated with. That said, even plants of the same strain may produce different effects based on the phenotype. So apart from selecting your preferred cultivar it is also important to consider the unique cannabinoid profile and biochemical composition that is responsible for the effects that are produced by a strain of marijuana.
Ultimately, the effects of cannabis will vary based on one’s biological make up and how often they have used cannabis. However, the phenotype is always a good starting point. The aroma and taste of cannabis will also play a role on how one perceives the effects caused by a strain.
While some phenotypes will give you a strong head buzz and propel you to outer space, others will simply mellow you and force you to defer to the couch for the better part of the day (body stone). Consumers will choose strains based on what effects they are pursuing. Therefore, every grower needs to have this at the back of their minds when selecting phenotypes.
The organoleptic qualities of a phenotype are bound to draw your attention from the get go. However, bud size comes in handy when you are considering how to optimize space for your cannabis canopy whether it is an indoor or outdoor grow. This will be largely determined by the size of the buds.
Generally, indica strains will form large and dense nugs while sativas will be less chunky in comparison. However, this will also vary based on the plant phenotype.
If your growing space is large you will be able to pick any phenotype that you want. On the other hand, if you are limited in terms of space you are better off going for phenotypes with smaller bud sizes. This is especially the case in indoor vertical grows.
What is the expected yield of the cannabis phenotype that you select? This is a question that should always be at the back of your mind when pheno hunting. Most commercial growers will prefer going for high yielding strains that will return a handsome profit. However, you should be able to consider all other qualities such as cannabinoid profile and know which one to prioritize over the other.
How Long Does It Take To Mature
This refers to the length of the flowering period. It determines how many growing seasons you can fit into a calendar year and consequently affects your total annual yield.
Commercial growers usually favor phenotypes that flower in a short span for obvious reasons. Indicas generally flower quite fast, within 8- 10 weeks. This increases profitability. It is an effective way to get the most out of a limited grow space.
Below we have tackled some of the commonly asked questions on cannabis phenotypes. You should be able to answer some from the information provided above.
What Is a Phenotype?
This refers to the inherent traits of strains that are passed on from the parents- both male and female. When a female and male are crossed the offspring that is produced will inherit phenotypes from both the parents. When speaking of cannabis, these traits include the hues, aroma, flavor, cannabinoid content, and growth characteristics among others. Yield is also included here and is a big consideration for commercial cannabis growers. The process of looking for the best traits in a cannabis strain is commonly referred to as pheno hunting.
Do Feminized Seeds Have Phenotypes?
This is a tricky one, but yes, cannabis feminized seeds have different phenotypes. Most breeders will work through thousands of cannabis seeds to select the best phenotypes to feminize. These seeds will have desirable traits for propagation.
Is Every Seed a Different Cannabis Phenotype?
Not this is not entirely true. A reputable cannabis seed bank spends a lot of time developing and stabilizing their seeds to make them as consistent as possible. This means that the seeds should be able to give rise to plants with very similar expressed characteristics.

With tens of thousands of people either dead or missing, Monday’s 7,9-magnitude quake in the south-west of the country has plunged China into mourning less than 90 days before the Games.
The year 2008 was supposed to be an auspicious one for the Chinese, who believe that the figure eight signals good fortune.
Not coincidentally, China’s communist rulers set the date of the Games’ opening ceremony to start at 8pm on the eighth day of the eighth month of 2008.
China’s leadership had proudly seen the Games as a coming-out party for a nation that has become one of the world’s most powerful economies.
Among China’s 1,3-billion people, excitement was building as the capital city prepared to welcome the world to the Games, only the third ever staged in Asia.
Ticket sales were massively over-subscribed and more than a million ordinary Chinese stepped forward to work as volunteers for the sporting extravaganza.
But since the start of the year, little has gone right for the Chinese government and Beijing Olympic organisers, apart from the smooth completion of Games’ venues.
The year kicked off with freak winter storms that in January and February killed more than 100 people and paralysed large parts of southern and central China.
The cold snap impacted on vital agricultural areas, one small factor among many that has seen inflation hit near 12-year highs this year, driving up the costs of staple foods such as pork by more than 60%.
Then a wave of political issues kicked in to overshadow the Olympic preparations directly.
The first major blow came in February, with the decision by celebrated United States filmmaker Steven Spielberg to stop work on the Games opening ceremony over China’s ties to the Sudanese government — which is accused of backing Arab militia forces responsible for much of the Darfur violence.
Next came violent protests in Tibet in March against China’s rule of the remote Himalayan region.
China responded with a massive military crackdown that exiled Tibetan leaders said left more than 200 people dead, triggering widespread international condemnation.
Activists seeking to highlight the Tibetans’ cause and other alleged rights abuses by the Chinese government followed up the unrest by shadowing the Olympic torch’s global relay and staging protests.
Instead of being a celebration of China’s global rise, the torch relay turned into a public relations nightmare.
On Tuesday, the Chinese government said the earthquake tragedy was another challenge to the staging of the Games that the Chinese people would unite to overcome.
”The spirit of the Chinese nation, of uniting as one and doing their best and exerting utmost efforts to overcome all kinds of difficulties in disaster relief work, will encourage us to do a good job for the Olympic Games,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Qin Gang said. — AFP

As you can no doubt see, the website now has an icon and background art! These were provided by the same talented friend of mine who inspired and drew the art for the Sansh’n ‘lglith short story. I assure you that I will be sending her the money for these commissions soon and I once again encourage you to check out her other work here: Madness Mind Art Blog
In other news, my Spring Semester here at Austin College has started. Due to this, expect posts to be more infrequent than they have been over the past month. I’ll try to get more stuff out soon, and I’ll post trivia on various fun things I find while researching.
One thing I’ve been considering is posting bits of info about my various story worlds and alternate Earths. If you’d be interested in seeing posts like these, please let me know in the comments below.
Don’t forget to subscribe for notifications! Keep it Reel!
Here’s something a bit more technological than the other trivia pieces. ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) is an organization responsible for assigning numerical internet address to websites and storing said numbers in a massive database to help add another level of security to those websites. If someone were to gain control of this database, they could essentially rule the web, and if something destroyed the database it could essentially shut down the web. (But that’s not the trivia tidbit, only the build up.)
Ok, so this post is gonna be a bit weird. See, this is technically an assignment where I could describe how a group of fictional or non-fictional people came together and became friends. However, I already kind of had a story written around this very idea, but it only involved two of the main cast for one of my books. So I’ll be adding some to it.
I don’t expect you guys to understand everything going on in this story, since I haven’t published any of the books in this series. Most of what you need to know is that this story universe takes place in the afterlife and follows a group of young grim reapers as they battle evil and learn how to do their job. This is a quick anecdote of how they became the group of four that we find in the second book. Yes, the second book. The first focuses on only one of them.
Without further ado here is how the young reapers met. I hope you enjoy!
As per usual, please share, comment, and subscribe if you have not done so. If you share this, please credit me.
This story may one day get expanded upon or given a part two or worked into a novel of mine in some way. I’m not quite sure yet. The fight scene in this still needs some work, but hopefully you can follow it well enough. Warning: this story does contain some blood, violence, and gore, in case you’re sensitive to that sort of thing.
So, for class, we had to edit or make a page on Wikipedia. I chose to edit a page. You can view the page here. It’s about the last book in the Heroes of Olympus series. Much of what I did was proof-reading cause I had no idea what I could add to this or other pages. It was an interesting experience, but I don’t think I’ll be editing anything else on Wikipedia. Unless it’s a page about me or own of my future works ;).
I will be posting another short story later today, so keep an eye out for that! Keep it Reel!
So, on this post we’ve been assigned, I’m supposed to teach you all about something I’m interested. At first I had trouble thinking of something to do, but I finally decided to fall back on something very close and very familiar to me: Dragons!
For almost as long as I can remember, I have loved dragons. Something about these fantastic and varied beasts has always fascinated me. And I’m not alone in this, dragons can be found across the globe and in thousands of cultures who had little to no contact with each other. In fact, people love dragons so much that this was made:
That’s right, an entire documentary on how dragons could have evolved.
What is it about dragons that makes them resonate so deeply with just about every human on planet Earth? What is it that compels us to create entire…
all focused in one way or another around these animals?
Some may say it spawns from the countless ancient myths of heroes fighting dragons. But why do so many cultures have such similar myths with such similar creatures? And now, why do we all want to befriend or become these supposed “monsters” that our ancient heroes fought? Where did the dragon start and will it ever end? I certainly hope that dragons never leave.
Personally, if dragons never actually existed, I believe they were created as a physical mirror of both everything we fear and want to be. Consider what dragons can be: wise, powerful, intimidating, nearly unkillable, possessing breath weapons, and can fly. Every man, woman, and child has dreamed of flying. And who hasn’t wanted to roar and suddenly have flames or ice blast out of your lungs? Yet at the same time, the sky is a vast and scary place, and while fire is useful it is also very dangerous.
We send some heroes to conquer these mighty beasts because we too wish to conquer our greatest fears. Other heroes become or befriend dragons because we too wish to become powerful and feared.
Dragons have been with us since the dawn of civilization and will likely be there till our end because they are everything we fear and wish to be given physical form. This is my theory at least. Though I still hope that, somewhere in this vast universe, they truly do exist.
The second short story for this blog. Time to mix things up a bit!
Since I gave you all something suspenseful, full of horror and gore, this time I’ve decided to present one of my more feel-good short stories to show I can cover more than just one genre. This story is really short because I wrote it for a flash fiction contest and the max word count was 1000 words. Which isn’t a lot of room to write with.
Still, I think it turned out pretty well and I hope you enjoy it! Please remember to share this with others, credit me if you do share it, leave your thoughts in the comments below, and subscribe if you have not done so. Have fun!

Missoula Plan Aims To Boost Affordable Housing
More than 200 units of affordable housing are coming to Missoula, local officials announced Tuesday. It’s part of a big public-private collaboration involving several entities.
"This is a big deal, Missoula. This is a real big deal," says County Commissioner Dave Strohmaier.
Missoula’s housing market is notoriously expensive. According to the Missoula Organization of Realtors the median price of a Missoula home reached a record high last year of $290,000. Local renter incomes, meanwhile, dropped almost 5 percent to about $29,000.
And, according to last year’s point-in-time survey, Missoula had one of the highest homeless populations in the state at 293.
Again, County Commissioner Dave Strohmaier.
"We want to move the needle related to homelessness and providing for those who are most vulnerable in our community. I can tell you today with some level of confidence that I think this is a big step in that direction."
Missoula County is donating a 4 acre parcel of land near the local detention center on the west side of town to a group of nonprofits who will then build a 130-unit housing complex. At least 30 of those units will be reserved and deeply subsidized for the chronically homeless.
The remaining apartments will be rented to people making less-than 60 percent of area median income which is roughly $31,000 a year for individuals.
Another 70 apartments will be built at the now-vacant Skyview Mobile Home Park on Missoula’s Westside. The Missoula Housing Authority, a non-profit called Homeword, and a the for-profit Blueline Development propose to construct the housing, which will be financed using Low Income Housing Tax Credits. Meaning, Missoula taxpayers will not foot the bill for these housing projects, says Eran Fowler Pehan, the city’s Housing and Community Development director,
"This project is funded through private equity and through grants and other philanthropic contributions, but not through taxpayer contributions," Fowler Pehan says.
The larger apartment complex will also include a so-called ‘navigation center’ to offer services to renters, including the chronically homeless and people re-entering the community from the criminal justice system.
Fowler Pehan describes the plan, which includes help navigating health care, as a game changer for Missoula.
"I think that this is not only going to ensure that people have a safe, stable place to go and they’re not dying on the streets, but a development like this has the potential to save this community millions of dollars every year in uncompensated care in our hospital systems, and in inappropriate levels of care through police, fire and our jail and sheriff’s departments."
Organizers say local nonprofits including Open Aid Alliance, The Poverello Center and Partnership Health Center will help design programming to help the chronically homeless stay off Missoula’s streets.
Lori Davidson is executive Director of the Missoula Housing Authority.
"If any one of the pieces here wasn't here, it wouldn’t be happening," Davidson says. "I can’t tell you how excited we are."
This project will take a while to take root. Developers say even under the best of circumstances, construction probably won’t start until at least next summer, followed by an 18-month build out phase.
As of now, the county has not yet formalized the land donation. Commissioners are expected to sign a letter this week expressing their intent to donate the land off Mullan Road.
Public comment will be taken during that Wednesday meeting, with more to follow.

In 1932, the retirement of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. gave President Hoover a vacancy to fill on the Supreme Court. The name of Benjamin N. Cardozo, chief judge of the highest court of New York, was suggested in legal circles. But Cardozo was a Democrat, Hoover a Republican. Cardozo was Jewish, and there was already a Jew on the court, Louis D. Brandeis. And there were already two New Yorkers, Harlan F. Stone and Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes.
Hoover ignored the obstacles and appointed Cardozo, who was unanimously confirmed by the Senate.
That scenario seems like fairyland today. Political considerations have always played a part in the appointment process, but now they seem to dominate. Or, more accurately, ideological ones do. American politics have become far more ideological, and nowhere more intensely so than in filling vacancies on the Supreme Court.
Talk of possible vacancies is in the air now. Rumor has it that Chief Justice William Rehnquist and Justice Sandra Day O'Connor may go. And even before there is a vacancy, politicians and interest groups are staking out their demands.
The right-to-life movement is demanding that anyone nominated be committed against abortion, even to overruling Roe vs. Wade, the decision that a woman's right to choose an abortion is protected by the Constitution. Other conservatives want a vote against affirmative action. Senate Democrats indicate that they will fight any extremist choice.
Why has the Supreme Court appointment process become so politicized?
Part of the answer lies with the court itself. In the last 50 years, the Supreme Court has made decisions that changed the direction of society -- for example, on racial segregation. And, not least, the decision that made George W. Bush president.
Many of the important cases were decided by narrow majorities; 5-4 in Bush vs. Gore and others. No one can fail to see that fundamental choices for the country depend on who is on the Supreme Court.
The other important factor has been the ideological transformation of the Republican Party to a hard-edged force that includes such elements as religious fundamentalists. The moderates who used to play a large role in the party are reduced to a small rump.
In President Eisenhower's administration, the judicial appointment process -- which I saw close up as a reporter covering the Justice Department -- was largely non-ideological. Among Eisenhower's Supreme Court nominees were moderate Republicans Earl Warren, John M. Harlan and Potter Stewart and one Democrat, William J. Brennan Jr.
Conservatives trace the change to the defeat of Judge Robert Bork after President Reagan nominated him in 1987. They say he was done in by liberal smears. Liberals, and the moderates who joined in the 58-42 Senate vote against Bork, said his views were too extreme. In Republican presidencies now, a careful operation vets the ideologies of possible nominees to all federal courts. The result is choices to please the right -- like Alabama Atty. Gen. William H. Pryor, nominated to the appeals court, who had argued in a brief that allowing sex between homosexuals would open the way for legalized "necrophilia, bestiality ... and even incest and pedophilia."
Democrats are now filibustering against Bush nominees to lower court positions whom they deem extreme. Republicans denounce that tactic. But when Bill Clinton was president, they brazenly blocked many of his nominees who were undoubtedly centrist choices. One was Elena Kagan, nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals, who was recently named dean of Harvard Law School.
The courts are too important to be treated with ideological zealotry. The great danger is that we Americans will come to think of judges as just another version of politicians. That would damage their essential function: to keep this country true to its Constitution.
Israeli Chief Justice Aharon Barak said recently that democracy would not work without a commitment to liberty that limited majority rule. We depend on the courts to preserve that liberty. We have to believe in their dedication to something deeper than political ideology.

Katy Perry’s performance at AMA 2020 is definitely the one to remember, as it is her first time performing on stage after giving birth to her daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom.
Katy sang a duo with Darius Rucker of her version of the song ‘Only Love’ in a worldwide premiere at AMA 2020. Katy Perry’s performance at AMA comes 7 years after her 2013 performance and 10 years after her first performance at the award show where she performed her hit song ‘Firework’. She performed ‘Only Love’ in accordance with the protocols of COVID-19 on a socially-distanced stage with R&B singer, Darius Rucker.
Before arriving at AMA 2020, Katy Perry declared on her Instagram that her performance is dedicated to one person, her father, Keith Hudson. She uploaded an old pic of her father holding Katy Perry when she was just a baby, she captioned the pic saying “tonight’s @amas performance is for my father”
Ama 2020’s host Taraji P. Henson, introduced Katy Perry by remembering the influence her songs have had on fans. “She taught us how to be a firework and shine, you know I love when we shine, baby, shine. She’s invited one of her very favorite singers to join her in a very special duet that she has created just for us.”
“It asks the question, if you had one day left to live, what would you do with it? What would you do if you had nothing to lose?” Henson continued. “Please welcome Katy Perry and Darius Rucker, reimagining Katy’s new song, ‘Only Love.’”
Darius Rucker had given a sneak peek of their stage on his Twitter before the AMAs began, “Excited to share that I’ll be joining @KatyPerry for a special performance of #OnlyLove on the @AMAs, TONIGHT at 8/7c on ABC! #AMAs”
“They do say that when you meet your wife or your soulmate or your partner, whatever you want to say, that you think that they’re perfect and they’re everything…and that quickly fades away, right?” Katy Perry had stated in an interview about her partner Orlando Bloom and their daughter Daisy Dove Bloom. “When you meet your daughter that’s when you’ve met the love of your life.”

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KRON) — The first-of-its-kind “Universal Basic Income” initiative launched in Santa Clara County is set to financially assist young adults who are transitioning out of the foster care system.
Under the pilot program young adults who age out of the foster care system will now receive a $1,000 monthly for the next year.
For 24-year-old Nayeli Grano who is transitioning out of the county’s foster care system, says the new pilot program came at a crucial time where foster young adults, like herself, have been hit hard due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I think its amazing, I think this is a new opportunity for out-coming foster youth to just grow,” said Grano.
“If it was hard before to achieve our dreams now with this pandemic is even harder or to even think that we can possibly do something.”
Uncertainty over future
Grano says individuals in the foster care system are uncertain if they will receive any assistance as the county has focused much of its attention on stopping the spread of COVID-19.
“Not only do foster youth work minimum wage jobs and now with the pandemic a lot of those jobs are the ones that people lost,” said Grano.
Grano tells KRON4 although she is not yet part of the UBI program, she understands the struggles foster youth and young adults face to garner any sort of assistance.
“Me just knowing that I am going to be hopefully getting something when I turn 25 makes me feel more relaxed.”
“It helps a lot knowing that we’re going to be able to pay rent or pay things that we need for school … this just opens the door to new things.”
“Universal Basic Income”
Giséle Huff, president of San Francisco-based nonprofit Gerald Huff Fund for Humanity was instrumental in assisting Supervisor Cortese in bringing the first-of-its-kind UBI program to Santa Clara County.
In memory of Huff’s late son — the nonprofit is dedicated to bringing awareness on the concept of Universal Basic Income as a transitional solution to current societal issues.
“We’re looking for it to be a federal program that is implemented so that every American gets a $1,000 a month from the age of 18 on,” said Huff.
“Knowing that you have that floor … gives you the kind of freedom to pursue your dreams especially when you are a young person.”
For Grano and for many foster youth in the system express a desire to pursue a higher education in hopes to one day help out others with similar upbringings.
Grano is currently majoring in sociology and minoring in psychology at San Jose City College.
“I plan to be a probation officer because my passion is to help youth realize their full potential,” said Grano.
“I want them to realize that just because we come from a certain background doesn’t mean that we have to stay there and that we’re not going to achieve anything more … because we definitely can.”
Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors approved the program last month after the board initially told Supervisor Cortese the county will not be pursuing any new initiatives due to the pandemic.
Supervisor Cortese grew up in San Jose and says he understands the importance of assisting young people especially those who are transitioning out of foster care.
“Youth that are 21 through about 24 maybe 25 coming out of foster families who are now transitioning to the wide world out there are really in struggle right now — they have struggled for years,” said Cortese.
“We’re very excited .. I think it’s going to empower them and give them the ability to start making better decisions and good decisions about how to invest their own money.”
In an effort to get the much needed money into the hands of the participating 72 foster young adults — the county will not require them to complete any additional steps to receive their funds.
The UBI program will use $900,000 in funding through the county’s general fund to assist the participating young adults with no requirements on how they can spend their money.
“We’re not going to tell them what they have to do or how they have to do it specifically because that’s arguably been a failure of the system when we start getting too restrictive about what people should do with their social services benefits,” said Cortese.
In addition to the $1,000 a month the 72 young adults in the program will be given — the county will also offer financial coaching in partnership with MyPath and Excite Credit Union.

Microsoft is offering OneDrive support for the new Apple Watch.
The new version of OneDrive appeared in the Apple store yesterday. According to the blurb on the Apple store page, it offers users the ability to access and delete OneDrive photos right from their wrists, as well as view albums and find photos by tag.
OneDrive is Microsoft’s file hosting service that allows users to upload and sync files to a cloud storage and access them from a web browser or local device. Part of the suite of online services formerly known as Windows Live, it allows users to keep the files private, share them with contacts or make the files public.
However, Forrester researcher Anjali Lai, who wrote the report on the Apple Watch last November told us reactions to the new release have been lukewarm at best. "Social listening data indicates that awareness is relatively minimal among mainstream consumers, and sentiments around Microsoft's announcement are mildly positive," she said.
Microsoft, she added, doesn’t have the brand awareness that Apple has and that some users may be concerned about functionality. She continued:
Microsoft doesn't have a brand halo like Apple does, and doesn't spark comparable reaction outside of small groups of tech-lovers. But this also suggests that Microsoft's success in this case will come down to functionality — the brand itself won't have a polarizing effect, but if and when consumers perceive the digital experience to be convenient, intuitive and valuable in the moment, users will be likely to leverage the platform.”
This latest version of OneDrive is v5.3. While reviews on the site suggest that users of OneDrive for iOS believe the app is getting better, it seems there is still work to be done. One reviewer pointed to problems with photo uploading consistency, while another pointed out that there were still cache issues.
That said, this latest addition does seem to bear out Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella’s vision of a Microsoft that goes across all platforms with some of the most commercially important Microsoft apps like Office landing on iPad and Android since he took over reins.
Microsoft also released support for PowerPoint on Apple Watch, which will enable users to control slide shows from their wrists.

Our private 3 bedroom, 3 bath bayfront home is on 1 1/2 gated acres. The home offers air hockey, board games, video games, DVDs and book libraries. BBQ on the deck in the sea air or soak in the hot tub in the solarium overlooking the bay.
At over 3,000 sq.ft. there's more than enough space to stretch out. The premises is gated and has two gates in a paved circular driveway that allows for the easy movement of boats, ATV trailers or an array of vehicles. Being on 1 1/2 acres there's a trail to the woods to explore and a firepit to relax around when there's no fire bans.
There's a spotting scope on a tripod that allows you to take in the incredible view. This home being adjacent to the tidal flats provides one of the greatest bird watching locations on the West Coast.
Interaction with guests
We absolutely love the Southern Oregon Coast and have tried to live there for most of our lives. Unfortunately a bad economy there forced us to move to where the work is, but we maintain our home there because we enjoy the area and hope to retire there someday. Your privacy is respected and you'll have the place to yourself.
Other things to note
The area offers restaurants with the freshest seafood you'll ever find, a culinary college that's open to the public, movie theaters, community plays, fishing, crabbing, clamming and kayaking on the largest bay on the Oregon Coast. This part of Oregon is known at the Secret Coast, because of the unpopulated beaches. The world famous Bandon golf courses are a 20 minute drive away (12 courses within 40 minutes), while the Californian redwoods are a 2 hour drive. If you're into visiting lighthouses, plan on checking off five in one day.
We charge a LOT less than what other bayfront/waterfront vacation homes charge in the area. Please take care of it like you would your own home. We have an elderly cleaning lady who is the most wonderful person you could ever imagine. In the four years we've had this as a vacation home, she has become our family and cares for the place as if she owned it herself. If she gets overburden, it saddens us and we won't have you back. We have lots of loyal customers returning because they recognize the value of The Western Whitehouse.

The pairings for the 2009 ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament have been announced. Virginia Tech is the #8 seed, and they’ll take on #9 seed Miami in the first game of the tournament, on Thursday at noon. The game will be televised by Raycom.
With their 63-53 loss to Florida State on Saturday, the Hokies finished the regular season with a 17-13 overall record, and a 7-9 mark in the ACC. Tech will likely have to make a major run in the ACC Tournament to have a chance to earn an at-large berth for the NCAA tournament.
Virginia Tech played Miami once during the regular season. On January 25, the Hokies traveled to Miami and beat the Hurricanes 88-83 in overtime. That victory made Tech 4-1 in the ACC at the time, but they managed to only win three games the rest of the season. The ‘Canes also still have a shot at an at-large berth to the Big Dance with a big ACC Tournament run, so the Hokies will get their best shot.
The winner of the Tech-Miami game will play #1 seed North Carolina on Friday at noon. That game will be televised by Raycom and ESPN2.
Other opening round matchups include #5 Clemson vs. #12 Georgia Tech (2:30pm, Raycom), #7 Maryland vs. #10 NC State (7pm, ESPN2) and #6 Boston College vs. #11 Virginia (9:30pm, Raycom). The top four seeds get a first round bye.
Last season the Hokies were the #4 overall seed, and they won a quarterfinal matchup with #5 Miami. Tech was knocked out of the ACC Tournament in the semifinals on a last second shot by North Carolina.
This year’s ACC Tournament will be held in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. For more information, click on the link below.

Detection and Distribution of Viruses Infecting Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas L. Lam.) and Their Associated Vectors in Kebbi and Katsina States, Nigeria
Keywords:Aphid, DAS-ELISA, SPCFV, SPMMV, SPV2, whitefly
Sweet potato is a food security crop because of its ability to withstand adverse climatic conditions and provides sustainable food when other crops fail. This security, however, is being threaten by viral diseases. Surveys were conducted for viruses infecting sweet potato in 2020 rainy and 2021 dry seasons in Kebbi and Katsina States. Samples were collected from sweet potato plants and tested for Sweet potato chlorotic fleck virus (SPCFV), Sweet potato mild mottle virus (SPMMV) and Sweet potato virus 2 (SPV2) using Double Antibody Sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (DAS-ELISA). Whitefly and aphid populations were assessed. Results revealed that, the three viruses infected sweet potato in the study areas. Kebbi had higher incidence of SPCFV (17.78%), SPMMV (11.11%), and SPV2 (25.56%) in the dry season, while Katsina had higher incidence of SPCFV (10.00%) in the rainy season. Mean disease incidence in Kebbi was significantly (P = 0.05) higher than in Katsina. Mean symptom severity was not significant (P = 0.05) in the two states and for the two seasons. Aphid was not observed in the rainy season in both states. In the dry season, the mean aphid population per leaf was not significant (P = 0.05) in both states. The mean whitefly population was significantly (P = 0.05) higher in Kebbi (8.86) than in Katsina (6.34) in the dry season, but in the rainy season it was not significant in both states. There was no significant relationship between aphid population and SPV2 incidence, between whitefly population and SPMMV incidence in both states and seasons. SPCFV, SPMMV, and SPV2 occurred in the study areas. Farmers need to be trained on symptom identification and the importance of using only disease-free vines as planting materials.

The remarkable story of how one third of Australia's 1924 team for the Paris Olympic Games came from a single town in South Australia's Mallee region has made its way onto the silver screen.
The new documentary, Paris or the Bush, tells the story of the men's eight rowing team from Murray Bridge that overcame multiple hurdles to qualify for the Games.
"It is a fairytale," said director Wayne Groom, whose film received its world premiere in Murray Bridge on Saturday night.
"It is the classic Cinderella story of a crew with no money, no boats and no clubhouse versus wealthy, privileged, city teams."
The Murray Bridge Rowing Club, nicknamed The Cods, won the national men's eight championship in 1913 but the team's success was stalled by World War 1.
A majority of its members served overseas.
One was killed in action, another was wounded at Gallipoli and a third was wounded but returned to rowing, despite persistent pain from shrapnel still lodged in his back.
After the war, the crew overcame both injury and age to win the King's Cup title in 1920, 1922 and 1923.
Their final ambition was to represent Australia at the Olympic Games in Paris.
Despite their formidable reputation, they faced challenges from interstate and from within South Australia.
One of the crew members, Wally Pfeiffer, had been a conscientious objector during the war and became the target of a campaign to have him disallowed from Olympic selection.
His teammates, including those who had fought in the war, declared they would not go to the Games without him.
Eventually a race was held at Port Adelaide where the Cods faced the best crews from other states to determine who would wear green and gold.
The Cods won the tight race lengths after responding to their coxswain's cry that it was "Paris or the bush".
Mr Groom began working on a film script seven years ago but the more he researched, the more he saw the need to document the story.
"The true story slowly began to emerge and it was better than the fictional story. It allowed me the freedom to set the Cods record straight," he said.
Mr Groom and Carolyn Bilsborow spent a year trawling old newspapers, tracking down relatives and searching archives for rare scraps of footage.
They began filming in 2014 and traced the steps of the team from Murray Bridge to Paris.
Fittingly, the premiere of the film is being held in Murray Bridge where the audience was greeted by a guard of honour formed by members of the military and the Murray Bridge Rowing Club.
In the audience was relatives of the original Cods including 97-year-old Ron Graetz whose father was part of the team in Paris.
He dismissed the critics who labelled the rowers the "raggedy eight".
"They weren't rough," Mr Graetz said. "They had good balance, good timing and they had power through the water."
