He tried to be himself, but he didn’t know how. His whole life spent in search of identity… Amongst such inspirational characters; he found nothing to lead him to a real perception of his self. It is a sad life he lives. One in which I empathize with.

Undertow, in the current of the waves. Through the dark brine I couldn’t hear a sound. The force of water was bounding off my entire body… clutching tighter and tighter until the water dragged me down to the seemingly endless bottom.

In the library. Where things are quiet and peaceful, work is done. There is a humble peace in the library, one I wish I could enjoy at home; such a peacefulness, to read, write, and be alone.

You are twisted. I can’t believe you actually want to put these adorable kittens in a blender! I guess that’s none of my business. Maybe you’re more of a dog person. Sure, kittens are curious by nature, but when they get in a kitchen full of dangerous appliances, it is up to you to save them.
Did you know that magical wizards are battling to the death … and beyond … right now!? “Why battle?” you might ask. “What have I got to prove, magic man?” Only who’s the most awesomely powerful battle wizard in the entire realm, that’s what! As a Battle Wizard, you’ll put together up to three spell components to craft millions (okay, not really) of spell combos. Your spells might kick ass, or they could totally blow – it’s up to you to master the magic. You will unleash massive damage on the faces of your wizard rivals in a no-holds-barred, all-out burn-down to be the last Battle Wizard standing. And it doesn’t stop there! Powerful magic items bring on a whole new level of bloody carnage as you and your mighty wizard opponents tear each other limb from limb in an orgy of killing! Do you have what it takes to use epic spells in a war at Mt. Skullzfyre? Will YOU be the Ultimate Battle Wizard!?!
Exploding Kittens is a kitty-powered version of Russian Roulette. Players take turns drawing cards until someone draws an exploding kitten and loses the game. The deck is made up of cards that let you avoid exploding by peeking at cards before you draw, forcing your opponent to draw multiple cards, or shuffling the deck.
Call to Glory, packaged in a mid-sized tin box, is a fast and fun card game in which players try to collect Japanese characters of different values. When a player has two or more cards of the same character in his hand, he can (possibly) lay these cards on the table and score them at the end of the round. If, however, an opponent lays out more cards of the same type, then characters of that type already on the table are discarded. When the game ends, players score for the types of characters they have on the table.
The Koryŏ dynasty is now defunct, replaced by the Chosŏn dynasty founded by General Yi. Unfortunately, soon after its founding, figures of intrigue nicknamed the “Watchers” appeared all over the realm of Chosŏn. Since then, feud and disorder has sprouted everywhere, but instead of the usual political contests and sneaky manipulations, armed warfare has become the rule. The influence of the “Watchers” on some families has grown strong, and some whisper that their extraordinary powers even allow them to travel through time…

Did you know that lots of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching sessions take place in Archives & Special Collections?
As we look ahead to another busy academic year, here’s a short recap of some of the ASC teaching activities we got up to last year.
We ran a total of 57 separate classes in which either ASC staff or collections were involved. Many required repeat sessions to accommodate everyone giving a total of 107 sessions catering for 1,353 student visits, 40% of which were made by undergraduates.
43% of classes were run for students in the School of Humanities, with those run for students in the School of Critical Studies not far behind with 29%. We also hosted classes for students in the School of Culture and Creative Arts, School of Modern Languages and Cultures and students from the College of Science and Engineering, College of Social Sciences, and College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences (not to mention Summer Schools, an Open Studies class and visits from students from the University of St Andrews and Glasgow School of Art).
13 different classes were new to us last year including sessions for taught postgraduate students of Modernities, looking at a range of documents describing life in the early twentieth century; and for taught postgraduate students studying Festivals, who explored early modern festival culture with examples of sixteenth and seventeenth century fête books. New undergraduate classes were offered: to level 4 Life Sciences students undertaking outreach projects with historical primary sources; and a ‘placement’ class for level 4 history undergraduates studying Art, Culture and Patronage in Renaissance Scotland. This last class involved in-depth research for students looking at either the Blackhouse charters, the oldest records of the University, or fifteenth-century printed books with early Scottish owners.
We hosted two new undergraduate history classes for Dr Sarah Cockram, one focusing in Renaissance Florence, and another looking at Animals and Humans 1300-1800:
“Visits to ASC with students from my Honours courses Renaissance Florence and Animals and Humans, 1300-1800, were inspiring and thought-provoking. Fantastic materials were selected for the students on both courses, who were enthusiastic about seeing and handling historical sources in the flesh and hearing the expert introductions to these rich collections. Student assessment for the Animals course included the chance to write an exhibition label for an Archives or Special Collections item, inviting students to research one of these in more depth, reflect on its significance to the themes of the course and share their findings” – Dr Sarah Cockram
If you are involved in undergraduate or postgraduate teaching at the University of Glasgow – Arts, Sciences, Social Sciences – anything at all – and would like your students to get in in the action, why not contact us for a chat? We can offer a whole range of different types of class from show-and-tell sessions of relevant primary sources (to help with revision and the contextualisation of lecture learning), to something more in-depth, leading to assessed work based on the class visit. Archivists and Rare Books librarians will be available to help you plan, select relevant material and deliver the class.

Privatisation of ALL Croydon libraries? ACT NOW!
There has been little word of the latest turn in events on Croydon libraries. Despite only consulting on potential closure of six of the twelve branch libraries in Croydon residents are expected to believe that the analysis of the responses has lead the Council to arrive at the plan to consider privatising the whole network of libraries; 13 in all.
Residents who have heard of this plan have already expressed their dismay that privatisation of the Croydon's libraries network is now being proposed and question how this idea has arisen. Despite speaking to thousands across the borough those leading various library campaign groups in Croydon have not heard support for this idea from residents at any point.
The papers for next week's full Cabinet meeting in Croydon, including 'Review of Library Services' are now up online. You can find them here.
The cabinet meeting will be held:
The Council have done little if anything to advertise this.
Members of the public are welcome to observe the meeting from the Public Gallery and hear the debate on the important issue of the future of our libraries. Please spread the word!

Can you Conceal the Stun Gun Conveniently?

The video starts off with Redfield suiting adult in a mining cave, evidently to find 3 group from a blank unit. He creates note of a large “shield machine” before streamer serve into a mine. He shortly finds one of a blank group in a cell, afterwards runs off to find a key. As this is a Resident Evil game, Redfield finally runs opposite some zombies, that he dispatches fast around grenade, a punch to a face, and a pistol. The bloody visuals continue as he blasts his approach by a mine, murdering toothy, malleable monsters along a way. The final trainer is a bloated, gross, large savage who spills courage and gore all over Redfield, who says, “just another monster.”
The gameplay in a trailer seems arrange of prosaic to me, to be honest, though a visuals are gorgeous, with tons of shadows and high-res zombie attacks. If we don’t wish to wait until December, Resident Evil 7: biohazard is accessible now for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.

CHANGES APPROVED: Increased flights and more changes for Athey’s Moor Airfield
Image: Google Maps
A microlight airfield in north Northumberland can now carry out more flights and hold air rallies thanks to backing from county councillors.
A number of changes to the existing planning permission for Athey’s Moor Airfield, to the north-east of Longframlington, were unanimously approved by the North Northumberland Local Area Council on Thursday, February 18.
The bid to remove and vary several conditions, which had been recommended for approval, allows the following on a permanent basis:
Flying training, circuits and touch-and-go manoeuvres to take place at the site;
Aircraft arrivals and departures on 150 days per year, up from 120;
Daily aircraft movements to be increased to 50 movements, ie, 25 take-offs and 25 landings, in a 24-hour period, up from 36;
The site to be used for up to four air rallies, festivals or similar charitable activities per year with 200 movements within a 24-hour period allowed on these occasions.
The proposals had sparked 38 objections from residents and local businesses, as well as from Longframlington and Edlingham Parish Councils, while there were also 57 representations in support from residents and pilots who use the airfield.
A written submission to the virtual meeting from nearby Dene House Farm described the bid as a ‘significant intensification’ from what was originally approved, amounting to what should require a full planning application.
It said the changes would ‘adversely affect and in some cases impede the Dene House Farm leisure business’.
A similar submission from Embleton Steads Farm, which also referred to New Moor Hall Farm, said that ‘both farming families are regularly disturbed by overhead flights’ and claimed that a 2011 incident led to a ‘dangerous stampede in a barn’.
“Intensification would adversely affect both families,” it added.
However, a statement from Doug Coppin, on behalf of the applicant, thanked the county council for its diligence which has meant ‘we have managed to dismiss some microlight myths’.
He said that a noise report submitted with the application shows how animals are not affected and how the noise is kept within NCC parameters.
Meanwhile, in response to a question from the chairman Cllr Trevor Thorne, David Latham, from the council’s public protection team, said: “I don’t think we could impose any more conditions to regulate what’s in front of us.”
Moving approval, Cllr Gordon Castle, said: “I don’t see this as objectionable in the way some are suggesting.
“There’s a public interest in microlight flying, it’s got a certain value in terms of community interest.
“I think it’s acceptable. I see why there are those that wouldn’t want it, I can see some would think it’s dangerous, but I think the risks are minimal.”
Cllr Thorne welcomed the range of conditions, which ‘have to be strong and have to be stuck to’, adding: “I don’t see this as a huge expansion, it’s measured, not an explosion.”

Ragnarok Odyssey (PS Vita) Review
Ben Sheene / Dec 24th, 2012 1 Comment
Like many Vita games, Ragnarok Odyssey is under a lot of pressure. As the system’s first birthday draws near and the future of the handheld is littered with vague release dates, many early adopters are looking for games that can endure the long-haul. Players and critics alike are bound to ask if Ragnarok Odyssey delivers that “console” experience while taking advantage of the Vita’s capabilities. If given a chance, most will find that Ragnarok Odyssey is a game perfectly tailored to what the PlayStation Vita can offer and is just plain fun.
To put it simply: the world is being invaded by enormous giants (referred to as lummoxes) and it’s up to the player to take them out and save the land. A group of mercenaries gives the player missions which involve exploring new territory and discovering new items. References to Norse mythology are peppered throughout the narrative and should please anyone who recognizes them. Small tidbits of information are given in quest descriptions but aside from some NPC dialogue, it’s up to the player to decide how much to invest in caring about the plot. If a deep story is your RPG bread and butter, then Ragnarok Odyssey is certainly going to be lacking. Being based off the universe from the decade old Korean MMO Ragnarok Online might make the uninitiated player hesitant to dive into a game with such an expansive history. Instead of being bogged down with lengthy cutscenes and pages of text, developer GungHo Online Entertainment opted for a sparse plot benefitted by the game’s pick-up-and-play nature.
When Ragnarok Odyssey boots up, players are greeted with a beautiful CGI intro video that is immediately reminiscent of some of the best Final Fantasy cutscenes. Not only does the intro make for an exciting introduction to the game, it foreshadows the visual fidelity that is to come. Without a doubt, the game is one of the best looking on the Vita to date. Colorful and varied environments coupled with crisp and detailed character and monster models pop on the screen and look simply wonderful.
Players also get a bevy of customization options when it comes to creating their hero. With several options to change hair style, face, and voice (and even adjust the color of some of these aspects) it’s easy to spend a good amount of time creating that perfect character. The game also allows you to change these elements (for a price) by visiting a stylist with an enormous pair of scissors in the hub town. As with many other RPGs, Ragnarok Odyssey does become guilty of swapping out color palettes to distinguish higher level enemies. Unfortunately there are only a handful of pretty looking spells that each class can cast, which means that melee classes are going to spend most of their time swinging a big weapon with little to no flair. Taking all of these minor gripes into consideration still doesn’t make the game less of a beauty to play.
As vibrant as the game looks, the same can’t necessarily be said about the audio. Voice acting is very sparse and mainly relegated to various cheers and sounds a character can emote at the player’s selection. NPCs will grunt and make other noises during certain parts of conversations but not much else. The soundtrack is actually quite well done and can really give the speakers of the Vita a workout. Best of all is that the player can actually select what background music they want to hear from a list and buy additional tracks from the item shop. The only other highlight is during combat when striking an enemy. During lummox fights, certain body parts can be attacked and attacking the creature’s weak point will make a louder sound. As soon as it registers, the sound is instantly satisfying—the same sound occurs when striking weaker enemies. It isn’t a big deal, but certainly worth mentioning that it adds to the overall presentation.
One of the primary reasons Ragnarok Odyssey excels is that the developer understands the Vita and its capabilities. More than anything, the game creates a fine line between what defines a console RPG and a portable one. Often a console RPG requires hours of dedication; simply playing for a few minutes barely advances the character let alone the story. Instead of focusing on enormous chunks of gameplay, Ragnarok Odyssey focuses on small missions with easy goals. First the player goes to the Quest Counter to select a mission to play and from there can stock up on supplies, change equipment, or just start fighting. Missions normally have a time limit of 30 minutes (with some being less) but can be cleared in only a few minutes. Objectives are normally accomplished by killing a certain amount of specified enemies or collecting a certain amount of items.
Because the missions are so easy to begin and end, it can become quite easy to get wrapped up in the game. Here the synergy of the Vita and Ragnarok Odyssey is at its best. A player might pick up the game only planning to spend a few minutes tackling a mission or two and organizing gear; after a while, though, those minutes could have turned into hours, giving the game that console-like depth.
The game features several classes ranging from the powerful Hammersmith, the fast Assassin, the long-range Hunter, and the healing Cleric. At the onset of the game, players will pick one class to start with but are soon able to change classes by purchasing outfits (giving an incentive to save weapons instead of selling them). Instead of the traditional system of gaining experience points and leveling up, Ragnarok Odyssey does things a bit differently. Though small stat boosts are given after the completion of a chapter, the only true way to get better stats is by acquiring cards. Cards are dropped by enemies and have certain qualities linked to them such as increased defense or health, elemental powers, poison resist, or can even offer negative effects. Each card has a point value and only a certain amount of cards can be equipped on a character’s outfit. Upgrading/expanding an outfit allows it to hold more cards. Coming up with the best combination of cards for a situation is always easy but sometimes finding the best ones can take a lot of hunting.
The upgrade system also applies to weapons. Weapons can have different properties as well, and with the right materials can be upgraded to do better damage. A large assortment of hats can be made, including a pair of glasses, a wizard hat, or even a piece of toast that will be stuck in the player’s mouth—but they are only for aesthetic purposes. One complaint can be had with this whole system of cards and upgrades. Many materials and cards required for decent upgrades are only found in certain areas or on certain bosses. Since the game is not very specific on where you can find these items, a lot of guess work is required on the part of the player. One or two chapters might pass before finding that one item needed for an upgrade. Many will probably wish for more transparency when it comes to the loot system.
Another issue that could be lodged at the game is how repetitive it can be. While it will depend on each individual player, Ragnarok Odyssey does require a great deal of trekking through similar environments and killing the same enemies for several missions. Where one player might find joy in going back to previous areas and dominating with their stronger character, another might hate the idea and just want more forward progression.
It should also be noted that the game only uses the Vita’s touchscreen for a few simple tasks such as selecting emotes from a drop-down list or drinking potions with a simple tap in the midst of battle. By not focusing so much on touch controls, the game plays much more tightly considering how action-centric it is. Ragnarok Odyssey also has local (ad-hoc) and online multiplayer. Playing online can have a few issues ranging from bad connections to waiting on the lead player to actually start the mission. Aside from those very small faults, the online portion of the game is incredibly fun. Tackling some of the larger enemies in the game with a group of four shows how great the various classes work with each other.
Instead of looking at Ragnarok Odyssey as another game to “save the Vita,” it should be seen for what it is: an incredibly fun handheld experience that takes full advantage of the platform it was built for. The game is great to look at and great to play in long or short bursts. There is certainly a bit lacking when it comes to character progression but the system in place gets the job done. While it may not be the revolutionary and definitive RPG experience some players are looking for, it fills a large hole in the PlayStation Vita’s library.

White trellis netting for vegetable and flower support? Why is HORTOMALLAS white?In this article we explain why we chose to manufacture HORTOMALLAS in white, and why a white trellis netting is your best choice!
Which is the best color for a trellis net or flower tutor net? White Trellis Netting? How to decide!?BLACK is the color that contains the best UV stabilizer for polymers against UV ray degradation… the problem with a black net is very serious if such net were to be used for tutoring and trellising: 1) as it absorbed IR the mesh heats up and can damage the plant 2) as the mesh heats up it can loose its strength and yield a few % points under the weight of the plant and its fruits 3) the great majority of recycled polypropylene ends up being black, therefore the end product will be of a lesser quality as far as tension and UV resistance and 4) and this is the most important point.. black is hardly visible in the early or late hours of the day (usually one prefers to harvest in the early hours as the fruits or flowers will resent less the cutting) and by not being easily visible it is most prone to accidental cuts than brighter colors. YELLOW is a very visible color but may attract insects that are disease vectors, plus yellow will fade and lose physical characteristics of the netting RED is definitely the worst color when it comes to plastics, it fades right away and will brittle your mesh, never chose red in agricultural plastics exposed to the sun! GREEN… so far would be the best color, but it camouflages among the plant branches and leaves so it could easily be cut and damages by mistake during pruning or harvesting. WHITE this is the color you should use. The base color of most virgin polymers is white, and most of the cases it will contain UV inhibitors directly in the master batch. Plus you will be able to notice easily the gloss of the netting. Remember a virgin PP will always gloss but a net that contains even a small percentage of recycled material will be opaque. A white trellis netting will be the most noticeable color during the early harvesting and pruning hours therefore reducing accidental cuts to the netting structure Moral of the story… after 35+ years of trial and error it is confirmed… WHITE IS THE BEST COLOR FOR TUTORING NETS

Montreat College to host exhibition by professor Jim Southerland
Montreat College will host an exhibit by longtime professor Jim Southerland titled “Southerland Art: Seeing Things Backward Since 1978” from Sept. 13 - Nov. 16.
The exhibit will be on display in the Hamilton Gallery, which is located on the second floor of the college’s L. Nelson Bell Library.
There will be two artist receptions on Sept. 13. One from 12-1:30 p.m. and another from 6-7:30 p.m.
"Many people at Montreat who know Jim as a dedicated teacher may not be aware that he is also an accomplished and critically-acclaimed artist,” says Hamilton Gallery Curator and Montreat College Associate Professor of Communication Dr. Joseph Martin. “This new exhibition documenting his creative gifts seems like a perfect event to help inaugurate the college's new Fine & Performing Arts Department. The Hamilton Gallery is excited to be able to invite both the campus and the wider community to a wonderful show."
The exhibit will feature over 35 works created by Prof. Southerland using his unique “camera obscura” method, which he initially invented in 1978 as a way draw portraits of children.
Over four decades, he has applied the process to other media, as well, and this exhibit will feature landscapes and a few fascinating still lifes in addition to one portrait.
Professor Southerland has taught art at Montreat College for 30 years.
The college is proud to celebrate both his art and the wonderfully strong recovery he has experienced following a disastrous heart attack which resulted in heart transplant surgery in Jan. 2015.
The exhibit is a celebration of both his life and his faithful pursuit of his calling and career.

Cancer tumours grown in lab20th December 2011
Researchers in the US have discovered a way of extracting tumours from people without killing the tumour cells, allowing them to observe the way cancers grow, and generating a hubbub in the scientific community.
Scientists had previously been unable to make cancer cells live in laboratories for anything but very short periods of time.
Richard Schlegel, chairman of the department of pathology at Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Centre, who lead the study, said that advances in technology had fuelled hopes of a new form of cancer treatment that derived cancer-killing drugs from people's own cells, describing that process as the ultimate form of personalised medicine.
He said that being able to suit therapies exactly to people's tissues would hypothetically involve deriving normal tissue and tumour tissue from a particular patient, making a therapy based on a specific match.
Using the method, which borrows from stem cell research, the researchers were able to keep lung, breast, colon, and prostate cancers alive for up to two years.
The method makes use of fibroblast feeder cells, which keep the tumours alive, and what are known as Rho kinase (ROCK) inhibitors, allowing the tumours to reproduce.
The two methods are used in stem cell therapies to convert human tissue to stem cells.
Schlegel said that he and his colleagues were very excited about the possible treatment possibilities that might arise from the new technique.
David Rimm, a pathology professor at Yale University, who was not involved in the study, said that none of the actual methods used by the scientists were new.
He said, however, that the particular combination of existing techniques which the researchers had used was very clever.
Rimm said he had initially felt inclined to be sceptical about results that had not yet been repeated. But he said a colleague of his had succeeded in using the technique with pancreatic cancer cells.
Marc Symons, an investigator at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research New York, who was also not involved in the study, said that the fact that tumours from one patient were often so different from those in any other given patient, even though they appeared to be the same under a pathologist's microscope, was an important reason why so many clinical trials in cancer medicine failed.
He said the new technique could revolutionise the way doctors thought of cancer treatment.

There is now a realization by governments that schools play an important role in promoting good mental health. And there’s pressure on schools to deliver.
Promoting robust mental health is now a formal part of the PSHE curriculum, yet there’s very little available to schools in terms of support and resources.
Mental health advocate, Fergus Crawley, visited George Heriot’s School as part of the school’s initiative to encourage its young people to be open about mental health and speaking out.
During his visit to the Edinburgh school, where he addressed both junior and senior school pupils, Edinburgh-born Fergus (23) talked openly about the difficulties he faced with the transition to university, as well as his own suicide attempt in 2016, and provided advice he wished he had known at the time.
CV-Library offers advice to those who are feeling overworked or struggling with mental health
Research from leading job site, CV-Library, has found that the majority of education professionals (65.1%) actually only take one or two sick days a year. What’s more, only 14.3% said they have ‘pulled a sickie’ in the last 12 months.
For many children, the start of the new school year is a time of great excitement. The first day back after the summer holidays is a great time to catch up with friends, but it’s also a time to look to the future and take advantage of the many exciting opportunities that are in store.
Healthcare innovation company, Chanua Health, has built a 3D-printed brain to teach students about mental health. With support via the LCR 4.0 project and delivery partner Sensor City, Chanua Health was able to access and implement 3D printing technology to create a model that enables students to learn about the different parts of the brain in an interactive and engaging way.
The stigma around discussing mental health is still very much present, and the majority (80.3%) of education professionals agree that not enough is being done to support mental health at work. In fact, half (50.1%) have considered resigning from a job due to lack of support. That’s according to the latest data from CV-Library, the UK’s leading independent job site.
During Stress Awareness Month, editor Victoria Galligan speaks to Hitesh Dodhia, Superintendent Pharmacist at PharmacyOutlet.co.uk, about the mental health issues facing the teaching profession.
Hitesh highlights the importance of recognising the signs of stress in staff, and the need for heads to implement better stress management within UK education.
Robyn Johnstone, Chief Executive Officer of Education Placement Group specialists in teacher recruitment, recently partnered with Education Support Partnership (ESP). ESP is the only UK charity dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of teachers, and its free and confidential 24-hour helpline receives over 7,500 calls a year from education staff who have reached breaking point. Here she answers some questions about the rising mental health issues within teaching...
We are in a national crisis where our country’s mental health has reached a critical state. On November 6th, this was debated by MP’s in parliament at Westminster. I sat in the public gallery of the House of Commons as Catherine McKinnell, the MP from Newcastle, opened the debate by congratulating the Shaw Foundation for the great response to their petition on making mental health education compulsory in all schools.
Mental health problems, such as anxiety, can inhibit someone’s ability to get to school and be physically present during lessons. Here, Sam Warnes, a former teacher and founder of EDLounge, a unique platform that gives students who struggle with mainstream education the opportunity to access learning, explains how virtual classrooms can offer a solution for accommodating pupils with mental health issues.

Synopsis according to Goodreads:
"Aslaug is an unusual young woman. Her mother has brought her up in near isolation, teaching her about plants and nature and language—but not about life. Especially not how she came to have her own life, and who her father might be.
When Aslaug’s mother dies unexpectedly, everything changes. For Aslaug is a suspect in her mother’s death. And the more her story unravels, the more questions unfold. About the nature of Aslaug’s birth. About what she should do next.
About whether divine miracles have truly happened. And whether, when all other explanations are impossible, they might still happen this very day.
Addictive, thought-provoking, and shocking, Madapple is a page-turning exploration of human nature and divine intervention—and of the darkest corners of the human soul."
Madapple is a fiction, but beyond that it's hard to put it into a genre. Part murder mystery, part psychological thriller, part treatise on religion, part botany lecture, the story centers around Aslaug, whose sanity is called into question. And yet, given her narrative voice and analytical nature, I never questioned Aslaug's sanity myself.
I was expecting something different, and so Madapple was a disappointment to me. It's not poorly written- it's lengthy in descriptions and religious information, and a bit dry in that regard, but it doesn't rely on tropes or deus ex machina to pull the story along.
However, it's slow, and each of the 'twists' I had figured out early on (I don't think I'm exceptionally smart- I think Meldrum gave us too many hints for it to be a true 'twist'). Aslaug is a unique voice, smart but naive in the ways of humans, but not a relatable or captivating one.
Overall, this was an enjoyable, though not terribly stimulating, book. I'd recommend it for fans of florid fiction, those who enjoy the study of ancient religions, and fans of psychological mysteries and religious mysteries.

Let’s start by clearing up a few terms:
- Spinal Adjustment: is administered by a Chiropractor to move a specific vertebra back into alignment.
- Spinal Manipulation: is often used as a synonym to “spinal adjustment,” but technically, this is a more gross manual mobilization of spinal segments. This approach often lacks specificity in the vertebra(e) that is/are moved.
Lots of people “crack” their own necks; sometimes for relief, sometimes for dramatic effect, sometime just because they can, often without trying to. It can be called “self manipulation,” the “self adjustment,” the “self mobilization or the “do-it-yourself chiropractor.” Some people simply call it “addicted to crack.” But what is the difference between “cracking” it yourself and a Chiropractor’s spinal adjustment?
If you feel the need to “crack” or “pop” your own neck or back is potentially a sign of an underlying problem. Often the need to do it stems from poor posture and/or a misaligned vertebra putting excess stress on the joints in the cervical (neck) spine. Due to the stresses on the spine, the joints become restricted and uncomfortable. If self-spinal manipulation becomes an on-going habit then, it may get to the stage of a trapped nerve! When you crack your own neck (self-spinal manipulation) you are mostly ‘cracking’ either the joint above or below the restricted one that needs to move properly. Chiropractors train over 4-5 years in Chiropractic College after undergraduate training to adjust the right joint in the right way (see picture below). This relieves the restricted joint and frees up any “trapped” or “pinched” nerves.
Is there anything wrong with cracking my own neck?
The danger of doing it yourself is you’re moving the wrong joints. When you self-manipulate your spine it may make the same ‘popping’ noise (air being released from the joint) as a Chiropractic adjustment. Any mild relief from self-spinal manipulation is due to the natural release of a pain relieving chemical called endorphins, but it can cause damage.
When a joint is restricted, this makes the joints above and below work harder to compensate for the lack of movement in the stiff joint. So these joints are moving too much already and when you self adjust you are forcing them to move even further (see picture). Over time, this can cause stretching of the ligaments that support the spine and lead to instability and future problems.
So what should I do if I frequently “crack” my own neck?
From what we have learned so far, you potentially have an underlying problem and are causing damage to the ligaments of your spine. The first thing is to modify your posture to prevent unnecessary stress on your neck and shoulders (This could be as simply as adjusting the height of your computer monitor). The next thing is to have a full examination with a Chiropractor to assess the movement and function of the individual joints of the spine. The Chiropractor will then be able to recommend stretches, posture evaluation and advice, and, if necessary, a course of specific Chiropractic adjustments to restore the correct movement to the spine.
What is the Science that explains the “cracking,” “clicking” or “popping” noise?
Cavitation is a common term used by chiropractors and the cracking sound you may hear when having a chiropractic adjustment. It is a result of a force causing a temporary vacuum within the joint, which then collapses and causes a clicking noise. Gas bubbles within any joint fluid can also cause this snapping noise.
What are common symptoms that accompany clicking neck or cracking neck?
- Reduced range of motion. The neck and head may lose its normal flexibility, especially when trying to touch the ear to the shoulder (lateral flexion) or when trying to look over the shoulder (rotation)
- Pain at the back of the head or neck pain that radiates to the temples or forehead.
- Muscle ache and tenderness when touching or pressing on the neck muscles.
- Arm numbness or tingling as a result of a ‘pinched nerves’ or cervical spondylosis which may develop due to prolonged neck muscle spasm or age respectively.
- Arm pain and/or weakness in severe cases
- Stiffness or a ‘hard’ lump is sometimes felt at the site of the muscle spasm.
- Redness is sometimes noticeable on the skin around the knot in the muscle and can be more prominent after a hot shower.
What should I do if my neck cracks, creaks or pops frequently or I feel the urge to pop my own neck?
Understand that cracking your joints does not necessarily signal a spinal adjustment. A lot of people will mistake the cracking sound for an actual adjustment. This is not necessarily the case (often, it’s not the case). In order to get a spinal adjustment, visit a licensed chiropractor.
If you are having frequent feelings that something is not right in your neck or back then get a complete chiropractic evaluation. It is important to have a complete evaluation to rule out underlying pathologies and complicating factors, before any treatment is given.
If you feel the need to crack your own neck or back, then this is a warning sign that something abnormal is happening that needs a complete evaluation to identify the root of the problem. Call your Maitland Chiropractor today for an evaluation.

Barack Obama with his mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, on Election Night in 2008
There is a touching photograph from 2008 of Barack Obama and his mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, seated on a sofa in suite at the Hyatt Regency Chicago watching the election returns on television. His historic victory assured, the two hold hands across a space that had just been occupied by Michelle. The photo speaks to the closeness between Barack and Marian.
Soon thereafter, Michelle would ask her widowed mother to leave her beloved South Shore bungalow to move with them to Washington. Michelle wanted Malia and Sasha, long accustomed to their grandmother’s attentions, to have a sense of stability and continuity as they gave up their friends and school in Hyde Park for a new life in D.C. Grandma, after all, had nurtured the girls while their mother traveled during the campaign and before that too. She had been a steady, reassuring presence all their lives.
The late night comics—Leno, Letterman, and Kimmel, for example—had some fun at the new president’s expense with the notion of his mother-in-law invading his household. But the country, no matter political affiliation, was taken with this family, and there seemed to be a general feeling of good will and admiration for the Obamas as they established an extended family in the private White House quarters.
These days, not so much. As Obama’s approval ratings plunge—and as Republicans and some Democrats began to describe him as weakened, easily bullied, and ineffectual—the mother in law references and bad jokes, especially on talk radio, have increased. Suddenly, having Robinson, 74, under his roof is just another indicator of his impotence and fecklessness—as in Republicans tell him what to do, just like Michelle and her mother. "There's a $376 million semi-secret construction project happening at the White House,” joked Jimmy Kimmel, “and it's rumored that a tunnel is being built underneath. That's a lot of work for President Obama to get away from his mother-in-law. Let the man have a cigarette."
In a brutal column earlier this month titled, “One and Done?” the New York Times’ Maureen Dowd described Obama as humiliating himself by giving into Republican Speaker John Boehner and moving his jobs speech “…because there’s nothing the Republicans say that he won’t eagerly meet half way.” She continued by quoting from number two on David Letterman’s “Top Ten List of the president’s plans for the Labor Day”: “Pretty much whatever the Republicans tell him he can do.” From there she touched on the touchy mother-in-law issue, although she did so by quoting from an 11-month-old Onion parody of the president, describing him as “…express[ing] his aggravation on subjects as disparate as the war in Afghanistan, the sluggish economic recovery, his live-in mother-in-law.…”
In the course of writing a profile of Michelle Obama, I interviewed many friends who know her mother. Based on what many sources said, I’d bet that the president feels gratitude for Robinson's calming presence. Should he overcome what seem to be insurmountable obstacles and win reelection, the negative mother-in-law references will play themselves out—but until then, watch for these hoary, misogynistic jokes to become a theme of what promises to be one hell of a harsh campaign.

Dallas, TX, September 23, 2013 --(PR.com
)-- With the price of fuel staying above $3.00 per gallon for 2 over years, the public is asking for an alternative. The answer has been here for almost two centuries. Browns gas or Hydroxy gas is; Hydrogen gas obtained using electrolysis. (wikipedia.org) When it is injected into an engine it helps it run cooler and more efficiently. Due to a faster more efficient burn cycle it acts as a "Fuel Booster" and creates a more powerful fuel.
By enhancing an engine with Hydrogen technology a vehicle can reduce its carbon footprint +/-85% (as per Hydro Dynamics HHO, Inc.). Engines have more power, run smoother, cooler and cleaner requiring less maintenance while burning 20% to 50% less fuel.
Hydrogen on demand is a proven, safe and effective way to help internal combustion engines burn fuel more efficiently (as per Hydro Dynamics HHO, Inc.). The HydroDynamicsHHO.com™ team has been developing Hydrogen fuel technologies since 1999. Go online and look at the new condensed hydrogen gas generator just released: the Hydro Dynamo.


Bainite self accomodating shear strains
Cementite and -carbides are not included in the above classification, but it is believed that they grow by a displacive transformation mechanism at low temperatures.
Both kinds of reactions lead to changes in shape (Fig. The simplest of these occurs during reconstructive transformations in which the densities of the parent and product phases are different.
There is a need for this subject to develop further before serious quantitative applications become viable, although very useful general principles already exist which can help in the assessment of weld phenomena.
We therefore consider first the basic principles which are applicable to both the heat-affected zone and fusion zone of a weld, and which are useful in phase transformation theory per se.
Hence, when austenite transforms into grain boundary allotriomorphic ferrite, there is a uniform expansion, and vice-versa.
The transformation can have a pronounced interaction with an externally applied stress only if it is accompanied by a shape change (a strain). Alberry) Ferritic Steels for Fast Reactor Steam Generators, British Nuclear Engineering Society, London 1977 1-4. This shape change is an invariant-plane strain with a large shear component. The much smaller dilatational component of strain is directed normal to the habit plane (invariant-plane). For example, the freezing of water to ice is a reconstructive transformation where there is mass transport but no change in composition. Similarly, austenite in pure iron can transform into ferrite, either by a reconstructive mechanism involving diffusion, or by a martensitic mechanism.

The telephone poll conducted on Thursday and Friday indicates that a clear majority, 54 per cent, believe Ruto is fit to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2022.
Murathe, who unexpectedly resigned as vice chairman on Sunday, said those opposed to Ruto will form a new coalition to stop the DP from succeeding President Uhuru Kenyatta.
But even as he quit, he told reporters DP Ruto was unfit to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2022 after serving as the country's second in command for two consecutive terms.
Kalonzo was widely reported to have been appointed a special peace envoy to South Sudan as part of the handshake goodies President Uhuru Kenyatta is dishing to the Opposition.
- The Members of County Assembly from Rift Valley said President Uhuru Kenyatta owed deputy William Ruto support in 2022
Addressing the press on Saturday, January 12, the ward representatives and their Speakers drawn from 10 counties in the Rift Valley region accused the party secretary general of undermining the deputy president.
- Former Jubilee vice chairperson David Murathe sparked debate about DP Ruto's 2022 presidential ambitions saying he should retire alongside President Uhuru Kenyatta
Former Vice Chairman David Murathe is engineering a mass walkout of Jubilee members opposed to Deputy President William Ruto's Presidential bid.
Nakuru West MP Samuel Arama has fronted Interior CS Fred Matiang'i as a likely successor to President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2022.
The legislator notes that the peace enjoyed in the Rift Valley is a product of the good working relationship between President Kenyatta and Dr Ruto, a scenario that he will guard jealously to ensure the status quo remains.
- Former Jubilee Party vice chairman David Murathe is on record saying he would seek Supreme Court interpretation on Ruto's eligibility to vie
Senator Isaac Mwaura has come up with an explanation on what he believes is the main cause of the fallout in Jubilee as politicians allied to the ruling party continue to clash over Deputy President William Ruto's 2022 presidential ambition.
A number of lawmakers from the region have in the recent days had ugly altercation with Uhuru over what they claimed is systematic starving of the area which overwhelmingly voted for him in both 2013 and 2017 polls.
Deputy President William Ruto was one of the dignitaries who graced installation ceremony of Reverend Philip Anyolo as Kisumu Catholic Diocese Archbishop on Saturday, January 12.
The Jubilee MP also asked NASA MPs to now elect a new Minority Leader, saying the current one - John Mbadi - has become a 'Jubilee flower girl'.
The intervention, sources said, came after Dr Ruto called his boss in the morning demanding to know why Mr Murathe "is still a party official even with his views aimed at breaking Jubilee".
Tough-talking political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has now poured cold water on the fate of Kikuyu community after 2022 presidential elections saying the tribe will be out of power for 30 years.
Mumias East MP Benjamin Washiali said there was no binding Memorandum of Understanding MOU) in the party dictating that Ruto was the automatic heir of President Uhuru Kenyatta in Jubilee.
Deputy President William Ruto, ODM leader Raila Odinga as well as his ANC counterpart Musalia Mudavadi and Wiper’s Kalonzo Musyoka are all banking on Central Kenya’s support.
I leave my options open," Karua told Citizen TV's Sam Gituku who tasked her to explain her future plans in the political arena.

As you may recall, we recently ran a contest on social media with the prize being two tickets to For the Love of Spock‘s opening night at Old Greenbelt Theatre. Our winner, Don Klees, took his young son with him for the premiere, and they both had a fantastic time!
If you’re a member of the InterventionCon Fans group on Facebook, you can read Don’s thoughts on the film here. If you’re not… well, first off, we’d love to have you join! But we’ve also posted a small piece of it below:
Above all, For the Love of Spock is the story of a life lived fully on and off the screen. By Leonard Nimoy’s own admission, for much of his life, he had “a major in career and a minor in family”, but the film makes it abundantly clear that his devotion to his family was the driver of his focus on that career. This commitment, combined with embodying a character who – despite what many (foolishly) labeled a satanic appearance – represents the better angels of human nature, suggests that posterity will look as favorably on Leonard Nimoy the man as it will on the character of Mister Spock. It’s hard to imagine a better tribute to Star Trek and the hopeful vision it depicts as the series celebrates its 50th birthday.

The following is part of Pivotal Events that was published for our subscribers November 8, 2012.
Signs of the Times:
"A great civilization is not conquered from without, until it has destroyed itself from within. The essential causes of Rome's decline lay in her people, her morals, her class struggle, her failing trade, her bureaucratic despotism, her stifling taxes, her consuming wars."
~ Will Durant, The Story Of Civilization III, Epilogue, 1944
A number of sources list this as a quote, but it is a synthesis of the Epilogue "Why Rome Fell". It is valid then as well as now. America as we know it won't collapse, but Americans have been unusually successful in dealing with "bureaucratic despotism". They will be successful again. Bankruptcy of another experiment in bureaucratic despotism will prompt a refreshing turn to reform of bullying politics.
The election was a big day for the implacable forces of big bureaucracy, main stream media and big unions. There is no change from before the election.
"It thus appears that the treasury operations have thus far chiefly benefited the borrowers in Wall and Broad Streets more than the commercial community."
~ The New York Commercial and Financial Chronicle, October 19, 1872
"All of the money being created is elevating asset prices, but those prices are not causing corporations to invest in future production."
~ Bill Gross, Pimco, Bloomberg, November 1
"Fed's Rosengren: Fed Should Buy Bonds Until Unemployment Hits 7.25%."
~ Wall Street Journal, November 1
"I haven't seen the kind of improvement in labor-market conditions that would call for ending the MBS purchases."
~ John Williams, San Francisco Fed, Financial Times, November 2
A number of weeks ago we reviewed Gann's 55-day count to the end of a serious decline. That calendared out to close to November 8. The slide has been more evident in the Nasdaq than in other senior indexes, with the NDX losing 10 percent. While the season might have provided more of a drop, the US election and the storm seems to have provided distraction.
The Greenspan style of research considers that you can't tell a bubble until it's over. Similar orthodoxy insists that it is not a bear market until the S&P is down by twenty percent. Often such moves can end at such a level of disappointment, or discovery. As the leader of the NDX slump, Apple has plunged 23%. By standard reasoning about twenty percent declines AAPl has suffered a bear and the NDX only half a bear.
However, it is worth considering that the "count" could be valid for any degree of sell-off. In which case, around now or next week could be setting a temporary low. Apple is quite oversold.
Yesterday the "new" political news was about a compromise between opposing sides in Washington. This is the belief that the "Fiscal Cliff" can be averted. Or, in looking at it in another way, a natural rebound in the stock markets could inspire visions that Democrats and Republicans can join hands and leap across the fiscal chasm.
Unfortunately, it should be understood that Democrat leaders in the House and Senate are old and die-hard socialists who finally have their hands on the credit card. They will not compromise their compulsion to commit liberalism - as much as they can - while they can.
Upon his first win, Obama said to the House Republican Whip "Elections have consequences, Eric, and I won." Further instructive statements follow.
Senior stock indexes are not oversold enough to really clear the decks for an extended rally. Using AAPL as the proxy, a low (for nimble traders) is possible, soon, followed by choppy action into the end of the year.
It is worth recalling that the 2008 Crash fit the classic model and cleared in that fateful November. On the natural rebound, far too many believed Obama's boast that the disaster could be fixed. In January the street began to realize just how dangerous the new administration could be and marked stocks down into March. Some important exchanges declined sympathetically, but not to new lows.
When it arrives, the rebound will be natural but tempered by belligerent Democrats driven by "divine right" rather than mandate.
Yesterday's ChartWorks on ETFs in Europe and Asia, as well as precious metals reviewed some developing trading opportunities.
It's not often that the stream of business or economic statistics gets our attention. This week, McDonald's reported a global drop in sales - the last was in 2003. For September overall sales declined 1.8 percent. Within this, Europe and the US fell by 2.2 percent and the number for Asia, the Middle East and Africa was down by 2.4 percent.
It seems like a world-wide event, or is it coincidence?
Generally increasing profits have been essentially due to the ongoing drive to cut costs, rather than to rising sales. No matter how inflationary global policymakers have been, pricing pressures have been relentless. As well as strong recessions and weak recoveries, this is typical of a lengthy post-bubble contraction.
Perhaps the McDonald's sign is indicating slowing retail sales, globally.
In the business world, has the drive to severe cost cutting been voluntary? In the world of policymaking, has the drive to austerity been voluntary?
Best to ask the Greeks.
It seems that the ability of investors and central banks to buy most maturities of any quality of bonds remains undaunted. And as a representative from Barclays advised on Monday - "Seek safety at the long end of the yield curve".
From 144.94 on September 14, the bond future has rallied to 151.20 and is approaching an overbought condition. The urge to "safety" is the apparent story, but the long bond does not represent safety at all, but is yet another asset play.
It is interesting that the bond is, again, getting overdone as the stock market is getting oversold.
For the nimble, there's a trade pending.
At the short-end, the Ted-Spread continued its trend in narrowing to 0.203 last week. The move began at 0.581 as last fall's mini-panic cleared. As noted last week, the weekly RSI on this one has reached an exceptional level.
Within this, 3-month Libor has also reached an exceptional weekly RSI. Both on a chart back to 2005.
So we look around for a reason for change. US treasury bills remain one of the main focuses on the real flight to liquidity. The London Inter Bank Rate is not and that is the item that can change.
When? The market will tell us.
Perhaps it really comes down to liquidity. A post-bubble contraction features periods when liquidity generally disappears. Adding to this will be the re-election of the Democrat administration and continuation of anti-business policies. It is likely that Obama's re-election will seriously drive capital away of business and industry which is another form of disappearing liquidity.
The experiment in unlimited government will continue until liquidity disappears completely. It can't be ended by intellectual persuasion or by citing so many past examples. It can only end by financial catastrophe.
In the meantime, there will be some good trades to be made.
"After this election, it's our turn. Payback time. Everyone not with us is against us, and they better be ready because we don't forget....the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve...there will be hell to pay. Congress won't be a problem for us this time...No election to worry about after this is over."
~ Valerie Jarrett, Obama's close advisor, during a recent meeting with the administration's senior staffers.
"All whites are going to hell."
~ "Rev." Joseph Lowery, Obama confidante and pastor
"Vote for revenge!"
"G-d d-mn America!"
~ Obama's pastor of 20 years

text: The new drama serial Inteha-e-Ishq has impressively made its way through all media. It is being aired on Aplus Entertainment courtesy brilliant Muhammad Irfan Rafiq of Red Ocean Productions. The drama’s plot revolves around emotions of families, love, hatred, sacrifice and passion. Naturally, all this has made an impact right after the first episode by hitting #1 trending on YouTube. Isn’t that amazing? Not just this, all the other episodes are also getting a tremendous amount of traction through trending. The stars — Hibba Bukhari, Junaid Khan and Aarez Khan — have been seen together a few times on other channels in different projects, but this trio has shown quite a chemistry on the big screen of Inteha-e-Ishq. The entire cast of the drama is based in Karachi, but for this project, they visited Lahore and they had a great time. Hibba Bukhari’s drama serials are being aired on other channels at the same time but only Inteha-e-Ishq was on trending. It’s surely a testament to the show’s soaring popularity and connection with fans. As the story progresses, Hibba Bukhari’s role as ‘Rida’ is evolving as a strong headed girl who knows what’s right for her and her family As the story progresses, Hibba Bukhari’s role as ‘Rida’ is evolving as a strong headed girl who knows what’s right for her and her family. Though sacrificing love can be hard, but sometimes, it is the right thing to do. Junaid Khan’s acting has left everyone awestruck. He has been an amazing actor and is currently being seen in different projects besides Inteha-e-Ishq. Aarez Khan has also worked in multiple projects since he started acting, but it is right to say that Inteha-e-Ishq has given him the fame he deserved. Now, as other episodes are lined up, fans are more than eager to see how this drama unfolds. Red Ocean Productions is currently working on exciting projects with multiple channels.

Have you noticed a black space between your teeth that looks like a triangle? If so, you may be frustrated and unsure of what’s going on with your teeth. You may wonder whether your teeth are separating, thinning, or shrinking. Let’s take a closer look at what causes black triangles and how they may be resolved.
Black triangles are usually the result of gum recession. If you’ve had gum disease, brush too frequently, or brush too hard, your gums may have started to recede. The gum in between your teeth follows along the shape of your bone and if you begin to lose that bone, your gums will naturally recede. This is the reason your triangle was likely unnoticeable at first but became more obvious as you lost more bone.
The good news is that there is a non-invasive, cosmetic treatment that can fix black triangles and restore your confidence. Here at Costa Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we recommend BioClear. Invented in 2007, BioClear involves using a set of plastic matrices and semi-liquid, tooth colored composite to strengthen natural teeth while improving their appearance. It is more conservative and affordable than popular restorative treatments such as porcelain veneers and crowns. BioClear can also be completed in one single visit, can easily be repaired if it becomes damaged, and is more durable than traditional dental bonding.
Contact Costa Family & Cosmetic Dentistry
If you’re interested in learning more about BioClear, we encourage you to call us today at 703-439-1214. We look forward to hearing from you!


Counterfeit makeup worth US$300,000 was seized by the Intellectual Property Crimes Unit of the Los Angeles Police Department’s (LAPD) Commercial Crimes Division in January this year from the Downtown LA area. This was not the first seizure of counterfeit cosmetics in the US. In 2018, around US$700,000 worth of counterfeit makeup containing high levels of bacteria and animal waste was confiscated in another district of Los Angeles.
In 2015, US Customs and Border Protection seized more than 2,000 shipments of counterfeit cosmetics, worth an estimated US$1.4billion whereas in 2017, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products made up 6.5% of all counterfeit good seizures in the US, estimated to be worth US$69million.
More than just a pretty face
Some luxury makeup brands can charge up to US$200 for an eyeshadow palette alone, making counterfeit products a lucrative industry. And while cheaper counterfeit alternatives may be available on the market, they may carry serious consequences. In 2018, counterfeit versions of well-known brands such as MAC, Chanel and Benefit were seized in the UK and found to contain toxic chemicals such as mercury, which could have “toxic effects on the nervous, digestive and immune systems as well as the lungs, kidneys, skin and eyes.” These consumers had to endure the painful consequence after using counterfeit makeup, experiencing chemical burns, an eye infection and face swelling.
Keep an eye out for fakes
Consumers can avoid falling victim to a beauty faux pas by being more wary of what they buy. According to an FBI report by the National Property Rights Center on counterfeit cosmetics and fragrances, there are some clues to look out for in the hunt for fake cosmetic products:
- The packaging differs slightly in colour or lettering from the authentic brand, and/or the product’s wrapping appears haphazard.
- The product is being advertised as a “limited edition” while the authentic manufacturer does not offer it as a limited edition.
- The price is either slightly or drastically lower.
- The product’s consistency or texture does not feel or look like the authentic brand.
- The products are being sold at non-authorised retailers, including flea markets, mall kiosks and over the internet.
Cosmetics brands also play a preventive role. As technology and packaging have evolved, making it easier for counterfeiters to mimic genuine products, cosmetics manufacturers are employing the latest innovations in brand protection, to secure products and supply chains from the outset, and safeguard the trust of loyal customers on whom they depend.

Drinking water will also be available throughout the year and green cover will be improved and water transportation possible in the Godavari between Sripada Sagar Yellampalli and Medigadda throughout the year. Environmental development particularly fauna and flora, wildlife and green cover improvement is possible in the dry area also because of water storage.
The project will benefits which includes increased agriculture yield, guarantee crop, increasing of crop intensity and area, agriculture diversification, commercial crops improvement and fish production increasing is possible.

How To Play Like Im Gonna Lose You by Meghan Trainor ft. John Legend
Like Im gonna lose you recorded by American singer Meghan Trainor. This is Trainors debut studio album, released on Epic records in June 2015. This song features American singer John Legand. Initially intended to be a solo recording, Trainors version was then sent to John Legand and he loved the song so much that he wanted to record it as a duet.
Like Im gonna lose you is a soul ballad written in 4/4 time in the key of C major. The song is about making the most of every moment, and about not taking time with people you love for granted. Rolling Stone magazine compared this duet with Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell style ballads. After four weeks on the charts the song was certified gold and climbed to the top spot Making this Trainors third number one hit, and fifth top ten hit.
In this video I will show you the guitar part as I see it with mostly arpeggiated style finger picking. Chords, lyrics and chord grid will also be supplied underneath video.
Hope you enjoy.

Dear Expert: I want to make sustainable choices in my new home design. Is it expensive?
A: The current economic crisis presents an opportunity to build better, more sustainable homes. AIA is calling for the federal government to provide $30 billion for a plan that includes energy efficiency upgrades for residential construction and green affordable housing. If incentives and tax deductions are available to homeowners, green will be that much more attractive.
