Day 2 of our Hong Kong exploration led us to Ocean Park. Why Ocean Park instead of Disneyland? Because I said so 😛 But seriously. Aids wasn’t interested in going (he’s not much for thrill rides) and I’d already been to Disneyworld twice and Disneyland California once (plus Universal Studios–Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios California, and Universal Studios Singapore :P).
Going to and from Ocean Park is a breeze. Just take the MTR to Admiralty station then take the Citybus 629 Express Bus to Ocean Park (HK$10.60 per way for the bus ride). The bus also picks up from Central station but check the schedule. The bus ride takes about 30 minutes and drops you off right in front of Ocean Park.
Ocean Park tip #1: it’s best to be there by the time the park opens at 10:00 am. We left TST late so we got there by 11:30. We’d missed the first animal shows already so that threw off our entire schedule – we were hoping to leave by 3 or 4 pm to visit the markets in Stanley.
I loved Ocean Park, although me being my ocean-lover self may have contributed to that. The animals looked well-cared for, the exhibits were both beautifully designed and functional, and the written interpretation and displays were superb. I can’t say anything about the verbal interpretation as it was mostly in Cantonese. The dolphin show had a pre-recorded narration in alternating Cantonese and English while the bird show was in Cantonese with only sprinklings of English here and there. If you’re set on watching all of the shows and seeing all of the exhibits, check out Ocean Park’s website for the show schedules on the specific date you’ll be going to better plan your day. I did this but silly me forgot to print it out.
Ocean Park tip #2: buy your tickets in advance. The lines at the gate for admission tickets can get very long and waste your time when you could be exploring the park already. See my earlier entry for where you can get discounted tickets.
While each exhibit was great, my absolute favorites were the Giant Aquarium, Amazing Asian Animals, Giant Panda Habitat, and the Sea Jelly Spectacular.
The Giant Aquarium deserves its name as you have to take an escalator up – you start from the top of the building then work your way down. Each section is themed according to the ocean depth the animals live in – intertidal, coral reefs, and deep sea. The intertidal section also had a touch pool with starfish and sea cucumbers – something sure to appeal to the kids. The section on coral reefs has several tanks full of colorful reef fish, including one chockfull of “Nemos” – false clown anemonefish (Amphiprion ocellaris). However, the giant viewing window at the end of your tour is sure to become a highlight. The window is 68 cm thick plexiglass, holding back hawksbill sea turtles, sharks, a Napoleon wrasse, groupers, tuna, and thousands of gallons of seawater.
The Amazing Asian Animals exhibit lived up to its name. They showcased giant pandas, red pandas, and goldfish. A giant panda had his ass pointed in our direction as he did his business. As expected, panda poop is green from the food that it eats. Another one was eating, easily breaking the bamboo in half before ripping it apart to get to the soft inner parts. This was my first time to see a giant panda eat and its sheer brute strength surprised me. I’d temporarily forgotten that despite its sluggish movement, it’s a bear and a hunter at heart.
The goldfish exhibit was also really interesting, something I did not expect at all 😀 They had diagrams showing the different features of each particular variety of goldfish and the proper terms to describe them. I kept wondering though if the goldfish were comfortable with the modified body parts they sported. Bubble eyes aren’t hydrodynamic after all.
The dedicated giant panda habitat (separate from the Asian Animals exhibit) was also really cool (both literally and figuratively). Giant pandas are mountain creatures so Ocean Park takes care to bump up the AC to make them comfortable. There was virtually no line to get into the exhibit, something we appreciated. Everyone was crowded against the glass and snapping photos continuously.
The Sea Jelly Spectacular was truly spectacular. Jellies are mostly translucent white and pretty enough, but Ocean Park designed the jellyfish exhibit to show them off to their best advantage and then some (basically like women wearing makeup :P). Aids and I stood in front of one jellyfish tank for about 10 minutes, just taking photos. Hopefully we didn’t disturb the other visitors who wanted to take photos as well. I also took some video of the moon jelly (Aurelia aurita) tank as the tank lights (so also the jellies) changed color from green to red. It was pretty awesome.
Ocean Park tip #3: visit on a non-holiday weekday to avoid the crowds. We went on a Friday so it was already somewhat crowded. The lines for the rides weren’t too bad, though the animal shows were definitely full.
We got to the Amazing Bird Theater with 5 minutes to spare and took seats on the left side of the performance space. The bird show itself was nice and okay but not as great as the show in the Jurong Bird Park in Singapore. The highlight for me was the scarlet macaw taking donations from the crowd for the Ocean Park Conservation Foundation (OPCF). The volunteer holds out a folded bill (preferably at least HK$20 :D) and the macaw lands on his arm, takes the donation in its beak, then flies towards the donation box and drops it in.
I was seriously impressed with how Ocean Park gets its visitors to donate to OPCF. First, they make a great heartfelt appeal. Second, they make giving fun. Having a macaw collect donations was a genius move. And third, they make it easy. The giant panda and Chinese sturgeon exhibits had stations where you could donate via Octopus card. Just swipe your Octopus card and *ting!* you’ve donated HK$10 towards saving the planet. I donated at the Chinese sturgeon exhibit while Aids swiped his card for the pandas.
Buildable space in Hong Kong is a premium and Ocean Park is no exception. It expanded up the mountainside so tip #4 is to wear your most comfortable shoes or flip-flops and be prepared for a lot of walking. You will have to go up and down several hilly areas during the day, especially if you didn’t plan your route out beforehand. On the other hand, the need to break the park up in two resulted in Ocean Park’s cable car system. There are four cable lines (two going in each direction) running continuously so the waiting time isn’t so bad. Your wait is rewarded with a 10-minute cable car ride that gives you astonishing views of Hong Kong’s mountains, coastline, and surrounding waters.
Lastly, Ocean Park is famous for its Halloween parties! The park builds special “haunted houses” and 4D theaters full of spooky stuff and is open until way past the regular 7 pm closing. This requires a separate ticket and these tickets go very fast. According to my friend Eric, tickets for Ocean Park’s Halloween extravaganza were sold out months ago.
We left the park before the 7 pm Symbio closing show to meet up with our friend Chris in TST. If you have no early evening plans, I highly recommend that you stay for Symbio. It’s a show on conservation and symbiotic relationships featuring fire, water, lights, pyrotechnics, music, and animation. Eric said it’s really good 🙂
The next day’s itinerary: an unexpected-yet-totally-worth-it stop in Peng Chau, Tai O, Po Lin monastery, Ngong Ping village, and Central 😀

Nothing puts a damper on an agency’s growth like realizing the team is consistently missing the mark when it comes to the project budget. Fortunately (or not—depending on your temperament), you’re not alone. Only a third of all budgets are completed on time and on budget.
If you aren’t completing projects on time, well, that’s a whole different conversation. But here we’re going to walk you through some of the reasons your project budget process could stand a makeover.
A project budget makeover won’t just make you feel more profitable on the outside—you’ll actually be more profitable on the inside.
Hourly and Project Contractors: Go Together Like Oil and Water
One of the trickier things to manage is how to allocate budget for hourly contracts versus project-based ones. Whereas project-based contracts serve as fixed costs in much the same way as a full-time employee or other typical business expense, hourly contractors can either be a bang for your buck or blow your budget expectations out of the water.
One way to manage hourly contractors is to set firm expectations about the amount of time they are to spend on their given task. However, sometimes that’s not a feasible approach, and the success of the project just, frankly, demands more time.
You should create a threshold for your hourly contractors based on your expectations for the project, but, using historical data if it’s available, factor in some financial wiggle room.
If this feels like you’re cheating your client, consider moving away from hourly contractors altogether. It’s important to focus on the value you’re delivering and not just the amount of time you’re working on something. Try to put that extra pressure on your PM to wrangle contractors rather than on your client to come up with an amount of money that exceeds the value you’re delivering. Or find some budget-friendly ways to add value, something you can do that can be paid in sweat equity.
Are Some Services Not Making Enough Revenue for You?
It’s always fun to throw a new service into the mix, especially if it’ll help deliver more value to your clients. However, it’s easy for a new service to get lost in the shuffle without being assigned its proper dollar amount.
If you’ve been adding on new services but haven’t had time to analyze how they’ve played into your typical budget, it’s time to take stock of how much time is going into that service versus how much you’re charging for it. This compounds on the previous section about hourly and project-based contractors. Is it a service that should be priced out hourly or as an entire package? Maybe you’re burning more hours on delivering it than you initially thought, and this shiny new toy is now setting fire to all your hard-earned profit.
Introducing new services is a great way to kickstart new revenue growth; it’s also a good opportunity to take a pulse check on your existing offerings and whether they are priced correctly. If you’re adding new services, it sounds like you are probably increasing the overall value that you’re delivering to your client. That means your existing services are probably getting to a point where you could consider raising the prices.
New Hires Earning Their Salt
As an agency grows, it’s able to exchange a stable of contractors for some full-time staff to help normalize P&L. These fixed costs help scale an agency at a predictable rate instead of living and dying by when a check finally arrives.
Agency life is fast and furious; it’s easy to become stuck in old habits, especially when it comes to how you price out a project. Not only do new hires help stabilize your profit margins, but they also can help stabilize your pricing in general. Instead of spending time trying to predict and speculate on how many hours/contractors a project might require, you can start sending out a more static proposal with a more static budget.
Finance Exists in a Gilded Silo
Another trap for growing agencies is allowing the money folks to operate in a silo. Usually, for smaller and mid-size agencies, this is a blend of the executive team and a software solution. All of that data is incredibly valuable, and it’s important to reconcile the money coming in against the money going out. A lot of times, though, agencies rely on a few disparate software systems that don’t communicate. This is especially true for solutions that manage finance and solutions that track budget/hours throughout a project.
Finding a way to integrate financial information with data captured throughout a project will help you understand the P&L of your current budget process. You might think that the budgets you’ve been churning out since day one are continuing to help you grow, but without financial information living alongside the costs that you’ll inevitably incur during a project, there’s no way to track your profit-margin growth. (Well, there is a way, but it can be quite a headache.)
It’s easy to be lulled into a false sense of security by bigger checks. But the real data only happens at the intersection between your budget, your costs, and your revenue. If that’s a blind spot, you’re likely leaving money on the table.
Back to the Drawing Board—and Back Again (and Again…)
We’ve all heard the old chestnut “Everyone has a plan until they’re punched in the mouth.” It goes double for your project budget: Every agency has a budget until the client decides maybe it does want another version of those icons drawn up in three-dimensional neon.
It’s okay to be optimistic when it comes to your fitness goals. It’s not okay when it comes to revisions. Your clients will have feedback on your creative that they’ll want to see implemented into subsequent deliverables. Capturing this feedback, delivering it to your team, implementing it, and delivering it again to the client all takes a LOT of time. If you overlook factoring this into your budget, you’ll quickly find your profit margin disappearing. Especially if you are dealing with hourly contractors.
It’s not unreasonable to set a limit for revisions and include a change-order clause in your final contract. Just make sure it’s factored into your budget from the outset to avoid financial despair.
This Project Ain’t Gonna Manage Itself
This one goes out to all the unsung heroes of agency life: the project managers. One of the many black holes that suck up your profit margins is failing to account for the time it takes to manage a project.
It’s easy to get hung up on the cost it’ll take to create deliverables and forget to consider the time it’ll take to manage the creation and delivery of them. This is where process and documentation can really help your project budget shine from the inside out. Having data and insight into where project managers are spending time enables you to bake that cost into your deliverables. It’s important to realize that creative doesn’t exist in a vacuum and that ultimately project managers make sure value is delivered to your clients—which is in and of itself a value. So factor that time in accordingly. It’s not overhead, and it’s not the cost of doing business. It’s part of the product or service you’re delivering to your client.

The GBP/USD currency pair is trying to extend the previous day's bounce from the three-month support line, retreating to 1.1420 at Tuesday's London open. Even so, a bullish candle formation and an oversold RSI (14) are teasing cable buyers ahead of key weekly events.
The GBP/USD pair bounced off the June downtrend support line during the previous day and formed a Dragonfly Doji at the lowest levels since 1985. The same with oversold RSI conditions, keeping buyers hopeful. It's worth noting that a candle indicating a trend reversal is more meaningful when it is at a multi-day low, as is the case with the Cable pair.
However, the 5-DMA hurdle around the 1.1460 level limits the immediate upside of the quote ahead of the 21-DMA resistance near 1.1590.
Should GBP/USD bulls retain the reins beyond the 1.1590 level, the monthly high near 1.1740 and the July low of 1.1760 will be in focus.
Meanwhile, a downside break of the 1.1450 support line could quickly take the quote to the 1.1000 psychological magnet. Subsequently, the 1985 low near 1.0520 will be in focus.

Naxxramas: Tier 3
Tier 3 is a type of armor set previously obtainable in the classic, 40-man, version of Naxxramas. Each class set consists of 9 pieces. Death Knights do not have a set of this tier.
After the rework of Naxxramas, this tier is no longer available in-game. However, in time it will be available to PrimalWoW players once the classic version of Naxxramas is released, and as consequence, these players will keep their right of possession of these items when the realms merge.
Since TrueWoW players never had the opportunity to, and will not be given the chance to experience the classic Naxxramas version, an alternative way to acquire these old tiers is given to level 80 players through the weekly Naxxramas Dungeon Challenge.
|Objectives||Full clear Naxxramas with any character during a single raid lockout in either 10 or 25 man difficulty.|
|Rewards||Chance of acquiring a random tier 3 piece for the eligible character's class. You may only claim your reward once per week per character.|
Death Knights do not have a tier to be claimed.However, you may still claim a small sum of money for helping your friends complete the challenge.

Characteristics of seroconversion and implications for diagnosis of post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome: acute and convalescent serology among a prospective cohort of early Lyme disease patients
- 885 Downloads
Two-tier serology is often used to confirm a diagnosis of Lyme disease. One hundred and four patients with physician diagnosed erythema migrans rashes had blood samples taken before and after 3 weeks of doxycycline treatment for early Lyme disease. Acute and convalescent serologies for Borrelia burgdorferi were interpreted according to the 2-tier antibody testing criteria proposed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Serostatus was compared across several clinical and demographic variables both pre- and post-treatment. Forty-one patients (39.4 %) were seronegative both before and after treatment. The majority of seropositive individuals on both acute and convalescent serology had a positive IgM western blot and a negative IgG western blot. IgG seroconversion on western blot was infrequent. Among the baseline variables included in the analysis, disseminated lesions (p < 0.0001), a longer duration of illness (p < 0.0001), and a higher number of reported symptoms (p = 0.004) were highly significantly associated with positive final serostatus, while male sex (p = 0.05) was borderline significant. This variability, and the lack of seroconversion in a subset of patients, highlights the limitations of using serology alone in identifying early Lyme disease. Furthermore, these findings underline the difficulty for rheumatologists in identifying a prior exposure to Lyme disease in caring for patients with medically unexplained symptoms or fibromyalgia-like syndromes.

Basic function of a spring loaded safety valve
In a direct spring loaded safety valve the closing force or spring force is applied by a helical spring which is compressed by an adjusting screw. The spring force is transferred via the spindle onto the disc. The disc seals against the nozzle as long as the spring force is larger than the force created by the pressure at the inlet of the valve. The figure shows the enlarged nozzle and disc area of a safety valve with the forces acting on the disc.

Is my green cheek conure sick?
I have a seven month old green cheek conure named Pablo and he have been acting a bit strange lately. He occasionally sneezes and he seems to be itchy. The top of his eyelids are light green-ish and he seem to be pooping a lot. I am not too sure how often a bird should poop because I only just got Pablo a couple of weeks ago, but he poops ever 15 minutes. His skin is also flaky and when he scratches himself, white flaky dandruff like particle come off. I am not too sure if I should embezzle him to the vet or not. I love him a lot and I am really worried about him! Please help me!
From the sounds of it he has dry skin or may be molting. My bird also has dry skin and sneezes as I hold forced dry heat in house. He may also have mites or lice but you would generally see those. Birds have lots of dander down dust and it often makes them sneeze. Birds do poop adjectives the time. Watch droppings make sure they are not all marine and are normal in color. It will differ with what you nurture him. You can get a warm mist humidifier and put in room next to him to moisten air just make certain it has no teflon in or on it that heats up as heated teflon can be toxic to birds. I would also vote to mist him with warm water and propose him baths. If it makes you feel better and you think obligation to take him to vet then go ahead as any spanking new bird should go for a avian check up when first get anyway. Better past the worst than sorry. But sounds to me like he just may have dry skin and be restless about his new surroundings. Good luck. I would also propose getting a good book on these birds at pet store or on web as you can never learn to much around birds.
What concerns me is that he's sneezing, and the wispy green that you're seeing around his eyes. It's sounds to me like he may have some sort of bacterial infection. One such common infection is Klebsiella, which is well treatable, but left untreated may lead to Pseudomonas. That is much more difficult to treat, and usually become chronic.
My advice to you is that you take him to a vet as soon as you can. When you call for an appointment, construct sure you tell them about the sneezing and the green stuff, and that you just this minute got him. They may feel that it's necessary to squeeze you within.
Anytime you get a new pet, you should take them to the doctor for a condition check. This will help establish a chart of its health and progress over time, and when/if it does become sick, the vet will a history of the animal.
If you don't know of an avian vet near you, you can look one up at this net site:
Take him to the vet! Birds hide their illnesses as long as they can so when they start showing signs they are very not at your best! By the time you see the bird has symptoms, it could be too late. Take it to the vet and hope that you caught it in time. Good luck.
A vet is always important when you get a investigational bird.
Did you get him from a pet store or a breeder?
If a breeder than they should have given you a number contact them
If a pet store well than it is even More influential that you take him in for a check up
OH and Birds do poop a lot it should also be a wholesome poop You can do a google search for healthy bird poop to see a picture of how it should look.
Also conures do have dust so some dust is typical
He may not be on a good diet
he may not be getting enough humidity
do you have a insincere spray bottle NOT a cleanser one
go buy a new one that has never be used
put warm water in it and spray insubstantially NOT IN FACE
Conures love baths
Feed the bird fruits veggies pellets and seed mix for conures
The list at cockatiel cottage while it is for tiels can be used for conures
they also own info on healthy poops
here is more info on poop It is Important to always use paper that you modification daily on your cage bottom and also to learn what your birds poops look close to Bird owners become poop watchers as many times that is the ONLY way you can even know that a bird is sick.
So poopology is major
here are some links to help
Unless there is like a MAJOR adjust and you have not fed anything new that may enjoy caused that change then a vet pop in is a good idea
Either way whether you have a new bird a birdie vet visit is Important particularly if you are getting it from a pet shop
Again all this is same for a conure
here are some conure sites PLEASE read up and learn nearly your bird to offer him the best home ok?
good luck I am certain you will be since as long as he is eating drinking pooping and playing he is likely ok.

Municipal unions may regret striking for more pay
Strike action by trade unions is a solemn right in all democratic countries apart from those that describe themselves as democratic socialist republics like North Korea. South Africa, being one of the former with a Constitution and a Bill of Rights protected by an independent Constitutional Court, is rightly proud that trade union rights are thus protected.
However, strike threats can be a double-edged sword, especially when waved about without thinking as our two municipal unions appear to be doing, presumably to intimidate the SA Local Government Association (Salga) which has previously been supine when faced by union pay demands.
But times have changed. State coffers are no longer being filled so readily by the private sector – a situation of which any self-respecting trade union leader should be aware.
Not only is the economy struggling to recover from Covid lockdown regulations, all but a handful of municipalities are as near collapse as makes no difference -- both factors beg the question: “Will ratepayers suffer any greater inconvenience if municipal workers stopped work?”
Surely, union leaders are aware of the appalling state of municipal finances in the overwhelming majority of towns and villages in the country. Have they not at least tried to inform their members that there is such a situation and that it will negatively affect the ability of municipalities to pay what they are demanding?
To those employed in the private sector, the idea of getting a R4 000 (monthly) salary increase, and a R3 500 housing allowance, is the stuff of dreams, unrealistic in the cold light of the economic climate. Those paid from the public purse should take note.
Salga is digging in its heels. Its first rational response to union pay demands. It deserves praise. But should it give in, as it has in past years, the effect will be disastrous.
It will add to the financial woes of most municipalities, and those of their suppliers to whom they already owe millions. Cities will be compelled to pay the same with a negative impact on the services they provide courtesy of their ratepayers who are increasingly angry at the rates they must pay. Job losses are inevitable.
Ratepayers have been tightening their belts for years. It is time for union leaders, municipal managers, elected officials, and those they hire, to share the pain.

Dozens of police were deployed to an event at a London university last night, after anti-Israel protesters smashed windows, threw chairs, set off fire alarms and “assaulted” a speaker. No arrests were made.
Over 100 students had turned up to hear Ami Ayalon, the former head of Israel’s secret service, speak at King’s College last night. However, his talk was disrupted and then called off because of the actions of around 60 violent protestors from the ‘Action Palestine’ group.
“As soon as the doors shut the frustrated anti-Israel activists pounded the doors and the windows looking into the talk,” explained eye witness Richard Millett. Protesters waved Palestinian flags and shouted, “Free Palestine!” and “F*ck Israel!”
“They then climbed the windows to unfurl a banner. A fire alarm was set off and eventually police vans and police cars pulled up and 20 police constables protected the building”, writes Mr. Millett.
“Ironically, Ayalon was talking in front of a white board describing the rules for “safe spaces” at universities. But there is no ‘safe space’ for an Israeli-Jew at British universities”, he added.
David Tamman, a student of Political Science at the London School of Economics and the event’s co-host, Esther Endfield, both claim to have been “assaulted” during the uproar.
Mr. Tamman says that the alleged assault has now been reported to the police and is “being investigated under a hate crime”.
He claimed on Facebook that there were “chairs thrown at the room and at me” and that “two police vans along with 15 + officers came to protect the people inside the room”.
“When did I become so unsafe in one of the global universities in the world (sic) that we can no longer hold an event without being scared for our safety”?

— Student Rights (@Student_Rights) January 20, 2016
The Student Union’s “safe space” policy claims that the institution is “committed to providing an inclusive and supportive space for all our student members” and “believe[s] all students should be free from intimidation or harassment resulting from prejudice or discrimination on the grounds… race, religious beliefs… ideology or culture”.
“Two female friends of mine cried from the fear and abuse and I stood there staring at a poster on the door declaring Kings College London to be a ‘safe space’ and thought – what a lie”, exclaimed Mr. Tamman.
“The truth is, universities across the UK are not safe spaces (if you happen to be a Zionist Jew). It shocks me how universities and students seem to obsess on the provision of ‘safe spaces’ when a few students are offended by an old statue in Oxford (Cecil Rhodes), whilst there is a total disregard for Israel supporting Jews who are intimidated on a constant basis (in this case even assaulted)”, he wrote.
Continuing: “Protecting the free speech of violent protesters violated the free speech of Ami, a man who merely wanted to engage in dialogue with a receptive audience. This is a sad state of affairs. What about his freedom to speak? What about our freedom to listen?”
“I’ve genuinely had enough” he writes, before promising to “continue because giving up is exactly what these hate-filled, extremist cretins desire” and claiming the next event is already being planned. “Jewish and Israeli students will not be silenced.”
King’s College Action Palestine issued a statement before the event, in which they claimed that “Ayalon’s position makes him no different from the more overtly racist Zionists in the current Likud government”.
They also claimed it is “unacceptable” “to collaborate with any person, organisation and institution complicit in war crimes or human rights violations”, or ” to give voice, under the guise of a failed peace process, to an alleged war criminal.”
“Having war criminals to speak at the expense of Palestinian voices and that try to whitewash apartheid is not academic freedom. It is complicity with systematic oppression.”
The Metropolitan Police confirmed that no arrests had been made. A spokesman said: “Police were called at 17:18hrs on Tuesday, 19 January, to reports of a number of protesters outside a university campus in Surrey Street, WC2.
“Officers attended and found that a small number of those protesting had gained access to the building where they continued their protest. The demonstration concluded at approximately 18:45.”
As Spiked’s Free Speech University Rankings have highlighted, official sanctioned anti-Israel attacks and censorship on campus have exploded in recent years.
Thirteen students’ unions now back the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement and four have introduced full academic boycotts, meaning representatives of Israeli institutions are banned outright.

Rock ’n’ roll riffs fuse with grungy effects and an alternative spark on Drag by Ugly Blondes. Drag’s eight songs move intently ahead with driving guitar work and high-energy choruses, the kind of music that wouldn’t sound out of place on 105.9 The X.
The vocals trade off between gruff belting and an apathetic drone, which helps keep the sound of the record urgent and dynamic.
“Old News” is a bratty opening number, its snarling distortion announcing the band’s presence in a bitter manner. The bridge’s openness gives way to a big chorus filled with the driving quarter-note crashes on a beefy cymbal. It is an aggressive stake in the ground, setting the tone for a continuously dark album.
“Pity Love” charges full steam ahead, its sonic vastness and biting guitars meant to fill a big room full of sweaty, thrashing bodies, while “Amorfo” pushes an almost-theatrical macabre sound, featuring verses that resonate with gloom and uneasiness.
The harmonic riffs on “Whipped Cream” show off the clever guitar skills of Ugly Blondes in a subtle way — a kind of understatement that most rock ’n’ roll forgets in favor of overly flashy guitar solos. You get the sense the band has chops, but the members don’t feel compelled to make their individual talents the centerpiece of the song. Instead, they let the sum of the parts be the focus.
Even though the eight songs play with distinct elements from a myriad of hard- and alternative-rock subgenres, the musical theme is consistent, persistently dreary and seamlessly sinister.
This is the kind of album that recalls dark, grimy bars full of intrigue and mystery, a prime soundtrack to dark fall nights spent in existential dread.

The Paper Mil Playhouse has announced its 2015 to 2016 season and it features some celebrity collaborators; namely, Robert DeNiro will be taking reigns in the director chair for the musical version of A Bronx Tale based on Chazz Pilmenteri’s one-man show of the same name. This isn’t the first time that DeNiro has helmed a version of the show. The 1993 film A Bronx Tale was a cinematic recreation of the events for the show and was DeNiro’s directorial debut. It starred Lillo Bracanto, Jr (who has since been imprisoned for first-degree robbery following a botched robbery, he was released on parole in 2013) as the main character, DeNiro as his father and the writer Pilmenteri as the mob boss who acts as a secondary father to the protagonist.
The film has become a cult hit of sorts, and we are excited to see what DeNiro does with the source material applied to a musical format. The production will begin in February 2016.
Apparently, Harvey Weinstein’s Pre-Oscars Party was just as much a billionaires’ ball as it was a gathering of the stars: Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Google’s Eric Schmidt were all caught mingling at the event. It’s comforting to know that even the world’s most powerful and richest people still get star struck when they see their favorite actors. We really are all human after all. Thank you for showing us that, Harvey.
Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour got caught playing hookie from London Fashion Week to soak in the glamour of the Academy Awards. At the event itself Wintour sat next to her daughter, Bee Shaffer, as well as Harvey Weinstein and his wife and Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman. Proving that she can literally do anything and still be awesome, Wintour didn’t remove her uniform sunglasses throughout the entire event. That puts her in a league with Jack Nicholson as the only people that can rock shade at the Oscars and totally get away with it.

Afterlives of Pythagoreanism: Musica theorica and Its Legacy
This book examines the dissolution, and at the same time some especially noteworthy ramifications, of speculative music theory in the Pythagorean style, the central component of what the Middle Ages and Renaissance called musica theorica. A substantial introductory section presents the Pythagorean-Platonic background, and the structure and content of musica theorica, distinguishing it from its complement, musica practica, and goes on to discuss a series of crucial moments foreshadowing and preparing the abandonment of the Pythagorean view. The main body of the book comprises a series of studies, each examining how Pythagorean musica theorica exercised a crucial yet heretofore unrecognized influence on an important moment in the history of western music theory, beginning with the conceptualization of the musical note as the “element” of music in the Carolingian period, and continuing with chapters on Ficino; Descartes; Rameau; and Schenker.

ALGON Oyo State has sympathise with Oyo State Governor,Engr. Seyi Makinde, for the unnecessary stress and avoidable tension he and his government have imposed on themselves because of the illegal dissolution of democratically elected local government.
In a release by the chairman of the association in Oyo state, Prince Ayodeji Abass Alesinloye said an arbitrary decision which was imposed on him by the few power hustlers who took advantage of his inexperience on governance issues.
“Since he didn’t reject the dangerous decision when he wanted to, then he should blame no one but himself for the stress he is going through particularly within the past 72 hours when the reality of our resumption to duty is dawning on the government.
Our response to Oyo State Government Lies and Blackmail.
The Press Statement issued and signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Taiwo Adisa, is full of furry and panic signifying nothing beyond his usual lies, blackmail to confuse the peace loving people of Oyo State.
Despite our assurance of peace and adequate police protection to all peace loving citizens in our public statement as we resume our legitimate duty, the CPS to the governor has revealed the government’s plan to foment trouble and return the state to the theatre of political violence and thuggery.
When a government that has disobeyed court orders and ignored timely advice by police, whose primary duty is law enforcement and peace keeping, promised to unleash “full wrath of law” on lawful people, then the public should suspect and understand that the government is planning to use thugs not the police or any other security agency to impose its “full wrath of law” as it promised.
Anyway, the police and other law enforcement agencies have assured ALGON and the general public that trouble makers will not be allowed to perpetuate their violent acts.
Justice is the first condition of peace, a government that does not respect courts including Supreme Court judgment cannot be trusted to guarantee peace but to unleash violence.
Once again, we assure all citizens including local government workers of a trouble free resumption, the police as directed by the IGP are fully on ground to enforce law and the Supreme Court judgement. No matter how high anyone is, the Law is above all. Peace be! No cause for Alarm.

Yesterday, it was just too hot to sew the Aconitum Lace Cardigan. I did wash the sleeves, but I just couldn’t face working with that yarn. So I got out some Katyia cotton yarn that I bought at a closeout sale at Down Cellar last summer and started knitting another tank top, like the bamboo one I knitted in June. I’m using that Phildar pattern again, but this time, I am using a yarn that is the same gauge as the Phildar yarn, so I’m following the pattern more closely. The yarn is multicolored, and I just hope I have enough of it.
This morning, I woke up and decided to tackle the Aconitum cardigan. After sewing the first sleeve on, I discovered that I had sewed it on inside out, so I had to take it off and do it over. But I finally got both sleeves sewed on and I tried the sweater on. It fits well. Now I still have to put the button on, sew in all the ends and crochet across the back of the neck. Tonight is a church night, so I probably won’t finish this until tomorrow. But I’m very happy about it. I’ll have it done a week ahead of my self-imposed deadline, and that’s always good.
Here’s the sweater. Wait til you see the beautiful button I bought for it at Down Cellar on Monday.
P.S. If you haven’t done this yet, scroll down below the photo and read Poppet’s comment about this blog post and watch the YouTube video about the practical joke on Julia Roberts. It’s very cute.

In working with my clients, I begin with the Myers Briggs Type system because it is the most popular and familiar version of Carl Jung's original personality theory. I want to clear up common misconceptions about this personality typing system and help each person find their “best fit type.”
From there we can take a deeper dive into the original Psychological Type system as developed by Carl G. Jung, the famous Swiss psychologist. Here we learn about the Cognitive Functions (ways our brain thinks) and how this affects our personality, experience, behavior, maturity, and relationships.
This is where the revelations begin. Within this framework of understanding and using the Language of Functions, we can then explore and begin to understand why our life has unfolded as it has. We can identify and honor our true strengths and realize them for the superpowers that they are. We can identify and embrace our weaknesses, learning how to cultivate them into strengths rather than see them as character flaws.
After each individual in the relationship has worked with me individually to find their Type, we can work together to understand how the Functions of each individual affect the relationship. This is useful for couples, families, friends, work partnerships -- any relationship in which you would like to move from friction between Functions into mutually enhanced Function Flow.

PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS
I was the Graphic Design Intern for the Portland Trail Blazers' 2019 - 2020 season. As it was the 50th Anniversary year for the franchise, we worked to tell the team's story with a limited edition brand. Highlights included working with a limited-edition brand identity, lending a hand in creating the fan experience for the season and Melo coming to Portland.
During my time with the Blazers, I worked on an array of projects including environmental design, apparel design, print and layout design, digital content design and illustration. In addition, I was a part of weekly brainstorming meetings with the creative team and had the unique experience of helping with video direction on Media Day.
Thanks to the welcoming, learning-focused nature of the Blazers organization, my experience didn't stop at design. I shadowed multiple departments including Game Operations and Corporate Communications (hosting our Trail Blazers 1970's Alumni on decade night!) Every experience has helped shape my understanding of what it means to be a professional in the Sports and Entertainment industry.

The 17 are preparing personal injury claims against several British airlines, and are being backed by their trade union, Unite. The union is calling for a public inquiry into the quality of cabin air, and has opened a legal unit to process claims from its members who have been exposed to a 'fume event', as it is called when gases from engine oil get mixed with the air that circulates in the cabin.
These leaks, which can occur when engine seals are perforated, expose passengers and crew to organophosphates, such as TCP, which can affect the central nervous system and brain.
At an inquest last February into the death of airline pilot Richard Westgate, the coroner urged airlines to take urgent action "to prevent future deaths" after organophosphate compounds were found in Mr Westgate's brain. Mr Westgate died in 2012, aged 43.
A new inquest is to be opened into the death of cabin crew member Matthew Bass, who died suddenly in January, 2014 after he had suffered unexplained health problems. A post mortem discovered high levels of organophosphate toxins in his nervous system.
Airlines maintain that fume events are rare, and when they do occur, release chemicals that are at a lower level even than that in the average home.

Detail of outcome
The government is committed to protecting people from pension scams and pursuing those who perpetuate pension scams wherever possible.
The government consulted on a package of measures aimed at tackling pension scams in December 2016. This consultation response sets out the feedback the government received and its intended next steps on the following measures:
- a cold calling ban in relation to pensions which will include emails and text messages
- a tightening of HMRC rules to stop scammers opening fraudulent pension schemes
- tougher actions to help prevent the transfer of money from occupational pension schemes into fraudulent ones
Detail of feedback received
A full list of respondents is provided in the annex to the document.
Pension scams can cost people their life savings, and leave people facing retirement with limited income, and little or no opportunity to build their pension savings back up. The government is committed to protecting people from pension scams; and pursuing those who perpetuate pension scams wherever possible.
This consultation sets out a package of measures aimed at tackling three different areas of pensions scams:
- a cold calling ban will cut off a key source of pension scams whilst also sending a clear message to consumers that they should hang-up if they are cold called about their pension
- current legislation gives pension schemes limited scope to refuse a transfer to a scheme which looks like a scam, even if they have legitimate concerns as to the safety of a member’s savings. We are consulting on clarifying the law so that firms can block pension transfers based on clear objective criteria
- single-member occupation pension schemes currently require no registration with The Pensions Regulator, and can be set up using a dormant company as the sponsoring employer. They are therefore an easy way for fraudsters to register a pension scheme with HMRC. We are consulting on making it a requirement that only active companies can register a pension scheme

Stanford scientists have found a cell that creates the two different compartments in the mouse lung. They hope their discovery could lead to better therapies for people with lung disease.
A researcher at the School of Medicine and his colleagues have succeeded in isolating mouse lung stem cells, growing them in large volumes and incorporating them into injured lung tissue in mice.
The work raises hopes for regenerative therapies that could heal currently intractable lung diseases.
A study describing the research was published online Nov. 6 in Nature Methods. Kyle Loh, PhD, an investigator at the Stanford Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, and Bing Lim, MD, PhD, an investigator at the Genome Institute of Singapore, share senior authorship. The lead author is Massimo Nichane, PhD, currently a research scientist at the Stanford stem cell institute.
The lungs are among the most vital organs of the body. In conjunction with the cardiovascular system, they allow air to travel to every cell and get rid of the waste products of respiration, such as carbon dioxide. For many people with end-stage lung diseases, the only option is lung transplantation.
“Scientists have previously had little success in putting new lung cells into damaged lung to regenerate healthy tissue,” Loh said. “We decided to see if we could do that in an animal model.”
The researchers started by working to improve on current knowledge of lung stem cells. The lung is divided into two compartments, Loh said: the airway, which allows for passage of air in and out of the lung; and the alveoli, where gases pass in and out of the blood. Other researchers had previously isolated one stem cell for the airway and another stem cell for the alveoli. Loh and his colleagues searched for and found a single lung stem cell that could create cells in both the airway and the alveoli. These multipotent lung stem cells were typified by their display of a protein marker called Sox9.
From one to 100 billion billion
Once they had isolated the stem cells, they were able to make them multiply dramatically. Each mouse lung stem cell that they start started with was able to grow into 100 billion billion lung stem cells over the course of six months. Previously, researchers had not had much success expanding any lung stem cell populations in the laboratory.
Finally, they injected the stem cells into mouse lungs that had been injured by a variety of toxins. “What we saw was that these multipotent stem cells repaired the injured tissue and were able to differentiate into the many different kinds of cells that make up the healthy lung,” said Nichane.
“Our newfound ability to grow these mouse multipotent lung stem cells in a petri dish in very large numbers, and the cells’ ability to regenerate both lung airway and alveolar tissue, constitutes a first step towards future lung regenerative therapies,” Loh said. “Future work will focus on whether analogous multipotent stem cells can be found and cultivated from humans, which may open the way to eventually replenishing damaged lung tissue in the clinic.”

On the cover of its first-quarter report, the Lufthansa Group lists five key points concerning the company’s performance. Four of them are positive. And then there is this: ”All operating segments except for Lufthansa Cargo are developing in line with forecasts.”
Perhaps, with a clue as blatant as that, and the dismal first-quarter financial and operational performance numbers shown in the chart at right, today’s announcement of job cuts and a new strategy aimed at bringing Lufthansa Cargo back to profitability should not come as a surprise.
In an announcement to its staff, Lufthansa Cargo said between 700 and 800 jobs, 500 of them in Germany, would be cut. This is between 15% and 17% of the workforce – a huge cut. In addition to the job cuts, and as part of the C40 cost-reduction plan announced earlier this year, Lufthansa Cargo said it would
- introduce new products and services in order to reach new customer groups
- expand the metal-neutral partnerships it has entered with carriers such as All Nippon Airways, United Airlines, and Cathay Pacific
- continue the “digitalisation of all our main business processes in our eCargo program.”
The goal is to reduce costs by €80 million annually, with €55 million coming from the staff reduction. Lufthansa, like Air France-KLM, IAG, and some of the big Asian carriers, has lost market share in recent years to carriers based in the Gulf Region, Turkey, Russia, and Luxembourg. Obviously, cutting costs is important for survival in this highly competitive environment, but whether cutting costs, by €80 million or any other amount, will be enough is another matter. Following through on the three aspects of the C40 program will also be crucial.
