Up and coming rap maven W.M.L 李杰明 collabs with labelmate Vicky Chen 陳忻玥
(SKR Presents) on a unique new track called “Fiery Love 炙愛 ”.
It is an "anti-Valentine" song that portrays a couple’s inability to walk away from thier relationship, despite knowing that they are not suitable for each other. They remain together for underlying reasons; perhaps out of habit or the fear of being alone. The couple feels trapped but does not have the courage to go their separate ways.
Overall “Fiery Love” is an intense yet unique track that captures the imagination of its’ listeners, by flawlessly blending two very different musical styles together.
W.M.L is a hip-hop artist known for his intense upbeat rap style, meanwhile Chen is more recognized for her soothing vocals in the fresh folk realm of Mandopop music. The deliberate pairing of these two conflicting images emphasizes on the story being showcased in the song.
For those unfamiliar, Vicky Chen is a new artist under Taiwan based record label; SKR Presents. She has gained some notoriety for her unique vocals with songs such as “Smokescreen” going viral.
“Fiery Love” is officially Chen ’s first featured song after signing on with SKR.
On the other hand, W. M. L is an up-and-coming rapper who started off in the underground scene and gained prominence as an internet rapper before signing on with SKR.
He is known for his intensely-fast rapping abilities and is regarded as a rap genius by many. Some may know him from his other works including tracks such as “No Turning back” or a feature in R.Chord’s 謝和弦 "I'm Not Your Prince Charming."

After 17 years since the original Meteor Garden first aired in Taiwan, the rebooted version of the iconic idol drama officially broadcast on July 9th, 2018.
Many had high hopes for this new series but after it’s initial episodes, several fans found the plot to be rather absurd and laughable compared to the previous version.
For instance, there is a scene where the male lead (Dao Ming Si) invites the female lead (Shan Cai) to his mansion to offer her an opportunity to be his girlfriend. He makes a pitch and lists the benefits that she would receive.
In the previous version, the benefits included a large monthly allowance, a platinum visa card, and a personal chauffeur.
Meanwhile, in this new version, the benefits include gaming tokens, snacks, and drinks. Viewers thought this was ridiculous as those are things she is fully capable of buying herself.
Aside from that, viewers believe the overall plot of this current version is moving too fast. With iconic scenes like Hua Ze Lei (second male lead) doing a handstand already appearing and the "kiss scene" anticipated to appear much earlier than expected.
This has prompt a trend of reactions online, with netizens expressing that the new Meteor Garden is their “Source of laughter” for the summer.
Even though the content is quite laughable, the amount of buzz and chatter around this new drama shows how deep of an impression the original Meteor Garden has left upon its' audience, even after almost 17 years.
Meteor garden is now available for viewing on Netflix, Mango TV, and other selected regional broadcast worldwide.

Policy issues that cannot be addressed in a single generation -- fiscal reconstruction, global warming, nuclear power generation -- are on the rise, and tackling these ultralong-term challenges may require a fundamental rethinking of society.
According to calculations by a group of economists including R. Anton Braun of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, even if Japan introduced aggressive tax hikes and spending cuts right now, it would take close to 150 years to stabilize the ratio of public debt to gross domestic product. It will also be more than 100 years down the road before we find out what effect restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions will have on the environment. And when it comes to radioactive waste, it is technically possible to build a disposal facility right away once the site has been determined. Politically speaking, however, deciding on that location is nearly impossible, as it would come at enormous political cost and would only benefit generations living decades from now.
Economic studies are underway to investigate these issues. Research into the nature of intergenerational equity, an emerging branch of welfare economics, is key to evaluating ultralong-term policies, according to a 2006 book edited by Waseda University professor Kotaro Suzumura.
Professor Laurence J. Kotlikoff at Boston University and his co-authors proposed in a 1992 paper the concept of "generational accounting," under which the difference between payments to and benefits from the government is calculated for each generation. Generational accounting, which has come into widespread use, makes it possible to quantitatively compare gaps in financial burdens stemming from income transfers between generations.
In a 1986 paper, Paul Demeny, fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, proposed the so-called Demeny voting system. He called for giving voting rights to children and having parents cast these votes on their behalf with the purpose of reflecting the rights of the future generation in politics. Shigeki Kunieda, associate professor at Hitotsubashi University, also proposed a law designed to secure generational equity in a 2004 working paper at Japan's Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry.
However, none of these papers theoretically analyze the feasibility of ultralong-term policies. Here, I'd like to discuss whether intergenerational policies can work in the first place.
Imagine, for example, that the current generation undertakes fiscal reconstruction by paying a certain cost in the form of increased taxes and the like. The future generation, their children, will reap the benefit once they themselves become adults. If the cost is, say, 10 and the return is 20, then the difference is a gain of 10. If a portion of this gain can be distributed to the parents, then that generation would voluntarily pursue fiscal reconstruction. The question is whether the two different generations can cooperate to make such an income transfer work.
Consider a plan calling on the parents' generation to implement fiscal reconstruction at the cost of 10 so that the children's generation, using its gain of 20, will provide them with an income of 15 in the near future. If things go as planned, each generation pockets a gain of 5. But what would the younger generation actually decide to do in such a situation?
By the time the "near future" arrives, fiscal reconstruction will have been completed and the return for the children's generation will be fixed at 20. If the children transfer 15 of that to their parents, their own gain would decrease to 5. But if the children break their promise and do not give back anything to their parents, the gain for their generation would remain at 20. If this generation is self-serving and rational, it would naturally choose the latter option. In other words, it would only make sense for the children's generation to change the rules.
This is a typical "time inconsistency problem," where a behavior that is rational before an event does not match the behavior that is rational after the event. Because the parent's generation rationally predicts that even if they carry out fiscal reconstruction, they will receive nothing in return, they naturally choose not to implement fiscal reconstruction. Accordingly, intergenerational fiscal reconstruction is impossible from the beginning.
This conundrum is nothing new. In fact, it is identical to the intergenerational income transfer problem that Paul Samuelson presented in a 1958 paper. He considered the issue of whether children will take care of aging parents. Using the same logic as the foregoing discussion, he argued that, if the issue is a one-time consideration, rational children would not care for their parents.
But because this issue is played out in each generation, Samuelson argued, it is possible to create a system where caring for aging parents is the rational choice for children.
As Samuelson indicated, intergenerational cooperation can be realized relatively easily when the issue is one that recurs over time. Most of the intergenerational issues human society has faced throughout its history have been of this recurring kind.
The problem now is that new systems and technology have led to the emergence of nonrepeating policy issues. Fiscal reconstruction is one example, as fiscal deterioration is blamed on the spread of generous social security for the first time in history. Global warming and nuclear waste were both caused by modern technologies, meaning these, too, are one-time problems. In all of these issues, the impossibility of intergenerational cooperation arises.
This is something that we have brought about, without realizing it, through the modernization process over the past 200 years. Believing that advances in modern rationalism would secure intergenerational commitment, Japan built fiscal and social security systems on the presumption that they would be sustained over the ultralong term. However, because each generation is self-serving and rational, intergenerational cooperation is impossible, even if a society develops.
To successfully implement one-time, ultralong-term policies, each generation must behave in a way that goes beyond self-serving rationality. In order to do so, it is necessary to tap into religion and tradition. But that is difficult in modern society, where rationality is highly respected. In this light, Japan's outlook for realizing fiscal construction is extremely murky.
Japan needs to design a system to avert these issues. For instance, the ultralong-term pension system provides great benefits to pensioners. But once the population structure changes, drastic reform is necessary to maintain the system, and the problem of the impossibility of intergenerational cooperation arises.
Perhaps, systems and new technology that threaten intergenerational cooperation need to be restricted. This is different from irrationalism, which would seek to limit the rational development of technology and social systems. It simply means that, when determining whether to spread a technology or system, we need to take into consideration the limitations of society and seek an even higher level of rationalism.

- Can you go 10000 miles with synthetic oil?
What are the disadvantages of synthetic oil?
Disadvantages of Synthetic Motor OilMany of the synthetic oil blends reduce friction better than conventional motor oil.
Synthetic oil does not hold lead in the suspension of the oil.
Problems with racecar type engines using roller lifters.
Synthetic oil has different disposal methods.More items…•.
Can I mix synthetic and regular oil?
Yes, you can safely mix synthetic and conventional oil. … In the end, conventional and synthetic oils are completely compatible. However while you can safely mix synthetic and conventional oils, you’re diluting the performance of the synthetic oil.
When should I change my full synthetic oil?
Although recommended oil change intervals vary by vehicle manufacturer, in general, a good rule of thumb to follow is to change conventional motor oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. “If you’re using full synthetic oil, we recommend going about 7,500 between changes,” says Leo Jay of Dere Auto in Seattle.
How long can you really go between oil changes?
three monthsThe quick-lube chains usually recommend it be done every three months or 3,000 miles, but many mechanics would tell you that such frequent changes are overkill. Indeed, most car owner’s manuals recommend changing out the oil less frequently, usually after 5,000 or 7,500 miles.
How long can synthetic oil sit in an engine?
six months“While synthetic generally holds up better and can serve for more miles, it is equally important to not extend oil changes beyond the time interval recommended by the manufacturer—typically six months or a year if it is a motor that is not driven many miles or on many short trips.”
Will synthetic oil last 2 years?
If you hardly drive (less than 15 000km or 10 000 per year) then high quality synthetic expensive oils can safely be in the engine for 2 years. I would say that if it’s warm, not damp, it’s possible to extend that to 3 years (like keeping in garage or good climate). But no more than 3 years.
Will synthetic oil cause leaks?
Myth #3: Synthetic engine oils can wear down seals in an engine and cause leaks. This is an often-cited myth. In fact, if your seals and gaskets are in good condition, synthetic oil will not leak in your engine. … But it might find an existing leak.
What happens if oil isn’t changed?
If the oil isn’t changed, your vehicle’s engine will start to have a lot of problems. The most common issue is that the parts in your engine will become too hot. This can cause the engine to run less efficiently, and as time goes on, it can cause the engine components to warp and wear out.
What happens if you don’t change your oil for 10000 miles?
Depending on the vehicle and oil, the time between oil changes could range from 3,000 to 10,000 miles. But what happens if you decide to skip oil change? The end result is that your engine won’t last as long as it could. It might also mean an extravagant bill for an engine replacement or a sooner-than-expected rebuild.
Does synthetic oil degrade over time?
Synthetic oils can easily offer double the service life as their chemical composition does not break down over time. Several manufacturers have taken advantage of this and supply synthetic oil in their vehicles from the factory to extend oil-change intervals and extend engine longevity.
Can you go 10000 miles with synthetic oil?
If your car’s manufacturer recommends synthetic oil, or if you decide to make the switch, you could go as many as 10,000 miles or more between oil changes. … While some experts suggest doing it in most circumstances, Consumer Reports says that, generally, you shouldn’t switch to synthetic if your car doesn’t need it.


I have only ever bothered using Konqueror for internet browsing,but,I now want to use firefox,as Konq. is affecting one site too many,rendering wise.
I did not call the title firefox problem,because I know it'll be me doing something wrong,
I tried to install Firefox 1.0.3. (distro-SuSE 9.1,KDE 3.2.1.).
I can untar the directories easily enough,and I can get the installer window up,and choose where to install to,after I click install,it looks like it's installing,and then after it disappears nothing else happens and I get this error in the terminal:
Does it need to be untarred into a specific directory and do I need to be logged in as root to install it-would that be what caused those errors?
I know these are lightweight questions,and I should know better but,i've had conflicting advice prior to this,and need to get the truth once and for all.
Thankyou in advance!
It shouldn't matter what directory you run it from.
Have you tried installing Firefox thru yast? It may not be the 1.0.3 version, but will certainly be 1.0 or later. :)
is there any chance that you're using SCIM as the input method? if so, it may cause trouble with fox. just let me know!:)
Do you've write access to the install directory?

With over thirty years as a DJ, and some other fifteen as a producer, Filizola has carved out a name for himself in electronica by now. Highly-coveted remixes, like his rework of Duran Duran’s ‘Come Undone’, and releases on labels like NYLO have made him an artist to look out for with his ‘fusion of electronic music with rock, jazz, and blues’. We sit down with Filizola himself, and dive deeper into his story.
HMWL: Hi Filizola, first of all we want to thank you for your time. Tell us, how have the first weeks of 2020 been?
Filizola: Hi guys! Thank you for having me over! In terms of music It’s been good so far, with a lot of new tracks waiting to come out, and as always, working on more productions.
HMWL: What has been your most special event? Tell us why?
Filizola: When I played my last warm up at Casa Morelos for Kolombo. It was a great night and the crowd was into it. He ended up invited me to play all night with him back-to-back so that was truly special.
HMWL: Sometimes you bring live performance into your sets. Tell us where the inspiration for doing this comes from and what are you looking for in the public?
Filizola: Rossell, a friend and a great DJ & producer, invited me to a club in CDMX for a couple of years, where we played and put on some great parties. The live element always brings attention and I feel more connected that way. I seek to give the sensation of feeling the music come alive, and that they are part of it.
HMWL: When you play, do you adapt to the energy of the venue or does it adapt to your music?
Filizola: I always adapt to the vibes from the crowd and go with the flow.
HMWL: Production-wise, do you have something new that you can share with us?
Filizola: Yeah! There are several collaborations with singers that are already complete, but I can’t name them. You will have to wait until they are released.
HMWL: Many of your productions have vocal arrangements. Why?
Filizola: Vocals are a way to send out a positive message and it makes the music more human. Electronic Music tends to fade away from the human element with all the computers and synths so if you add the right vocal and lyrics you can make the song shine.
HMWL: So far what has been your favorite production and why?
Filizola: Alive. As the titled says, it makes you want to feel alive!
HMWL: What do you expect for the summer season, do you have any master plans?
Filizola: I would love to play in Europe but let’s see how all this virus thing progresses. My grand scheme would be to make it there and play live my own productions.

Get Online Cambelt Replacement in UAE
Cam belt replacement is an essential process that requires a specialist after a certain time according to the car model and manufacturer’s schedule. Also known as timing belt replacement, keeping a functional cam belt is imperative for optimized performance of your engine. A snapped belt can lead to engine damage or issues with head gasket. To avoid such costly catastrophes, it is highly recommended to get your cam belt checked by a professional. At Pitstop Arabia, we connect you with most trusted service centers, garages, and mechanics near your so you get affordable and quality cambelt replacement without wasting time in searching for a specialist. Just enter your requirements and our team will give you the most competitive quotes from top garages in UAE.
What is Cambelt and Why it needs Replacement?
Cambelt plays an integral part in your vehicle’s engine. It controls the timing of the combustion engine, allowing the vehicle to run smoothly and ensuring perfect synchronization between the crankshaft and camshaft. This is why you need special care for your cambelt. A snapped cambelt can be catastrophic for your engine, causing major damage to the engine due to knock on effects when the belt start whipping
Similarly, if the belt is too tight, it will cause strain on the bearing of the cogs which will eventually lead to high repair costs on the vehicle. The whining sound is a clear sign that your cambelt is wearing out and needs replacement or repair. Upon hearing this sound, it is crucial to book a mechanic to get the belt checked before it leads to other engine issues. If you leave it unattended, the damage caused by weak or snapped cambelt can pile up expenses way more than the repair itself.
Depending on your manufacturer, the cambelt will need replacement after certain period of use. Usually this happens after 30,000 to 50,000 miles of use, but it is recommended to check the vehicle’s manual to get an exact figure. You will need an experienced mechanic to perform replacement. Doing it yourself can put you and your vehicle at great risk
How to Identify YourCambelt needs Replacing
Usually, a squealing noise when starting the engine is a clear indicator that the belt is damaged and needs replacement. For more accurate inspection, you can open car bonnet and perform a visual examination of the belt. If the belt is giving a glazed or glossy look then it is time to get it replaced.

One of the most relentlessly inventive and beautiful shows on the air bowed out without adornment or excess. With its final episode Sunday night, culminating in a sequence in which Nora (Carrie Coon) explained her trip to the parallel universe to which the series’s missing people had vanished, The Leftovers cemented its place among the very best TV dramas of this decade.
Throughout its run, the show used one big and seemingly unanswerable question — what happened to the two percent of the world’s population who one day suddenly vanished? — to probe the nature of grief and of life on earth. Everyone who remained went crazy, a little or a lot. Their framework for understanding the universe had suddenly disappeared, and in its absence, reality seemed to warp into new, odd configurations. This gave rise to grand set pieces, like two episodes in which the fantasies of Kevin (Justin Theroux) take him to the afterlife and back and then place him in the midst of affairs of global consequence.
The second of these fantasy episodes aired last week, and in its titanic excess, set the table for a subtly done, low-key finale. In the show’s final installment, Nora, who once shared a life with Kevin in the wake of her entire family having disappeared, meets him again far in the future. She had abandoned him and her entire life in order to take advantage of an experimental technology that took her where the disappeared went — one of the plot turns that, in this show’s trademark manner, were not explained (who could?) but were carried off with such confidence that the viewer went along. Reunited thanks to Kevin’s diligent search, she explained to Kevin where the missing had gone, and why she couldn’t stay there.
The facts are ones about which even casual viewers of The Leftovers were assuredly curious. (Tom Perrotta’s novel, on which the series is based, never explained, but the show has long since burst past its borders.) The answer was vividly imaginative: the two percent didn’t go to heaven or hell. They went into a splinter universe where 98 percent of the population had mysteriously disappeared, and, rather than grieving, they were joyous for having survived. Or at least Nora’s family was, as she recounts the painful experience of visiting them only to watch them from afar and realize she was not meant to be a part of their unit. They had been through something together from which she would always be remote, and so she found her way back to our world alone.
The manner of telling was as imaginative as the story point. By denying us the satisfaction of seeing this other place, The Leftovers reinforced Nora’s isolation from it; through Coon’s moving and impassioned performance of Nora’s monologue, we got to a place of odd and conditional acceptance. Nora’s life after knowing that her family was literally accessible but that she could never again truly reach them only worked if she cut herself off from feeling, living in remote Australia and making her living as a purveyor of birds. The rest of the world seems, somewhat, to have healed, as we learn when Kevin drags Nora to a wedding he’s crashing, at which there’s nothing but joy and the possibility of renewal. And, in the show’s final moments, Nora begins a similar process, allowing herself the possibility of really connecting with Kevin in a way she may never have really done. She’s aware of the ways love can and does end — suddenly, across a gulf that you can never cross even if you think you’ve done it — and she’s willing anyhow.
The Leftovers consistently rejected the sort of granular analysis so much TV invites, the sort that builds to complex finales on which the success of the show rises or falls. For all that its surrealism was in vogue with current shows that prize oddity like Fargo and Mr. Robot, its rejection of resolution throughout felt new — the closest thing on TV to the first run of Twin Peaks, in which grief expressed itself through society-wide chaos, resistant to “clues” but moving at a primal level. The Leftovers presumed, particularly in a consistently brash and inventive final season, that the future was as unknowable as an insane and chaotic present. (To wit: Amy Brenneman’s Laurie, a character I’d felt extremely confident had killed herself earlier this season, showed up right as rain in the finale, making me wonder at first if what we were seeing was a parallel universe of its own. No — it was just a show willing to play, a bit, with the human capacity for wonder.)
A show with less pure brio would have shown us Nora’s trip to the parallel universe, rather than trusting its actor to sell the journey, and the harder journey back. But what made The Leftovers a work of art that stood out in an age of web explainers and rigorously parsing conversations was its blunt devotion to that most unfashionable trait: Faith. “There’s a difference between [Twin Peaks‘s] ‘Who killed Laura Palmer?,’ which is a mystery the show owes us, and requires an explanation, and then, ‘What is the meaning of life and why is this character behaving the way they are?'” Damon Lindelof told me in an interview before the season aired. The Leftovers‘s most compelling mysteries were ones of the heart. And in the end, its story — and the resolution it granted that was ultimately more important than the explanation it provided — worked for those who were willing to believe.

Dante returns to coaching inferno
FOXBORO — It was February and Dante Scarnecchia was in Stockton, Calif., enjoying retirement with his wife, Susan.
Life had been good for the coach since stepping away from the Patriots at the end of the 2013 season. But it was during that trip, at the University of the Pacific, when his cell phone rang.
Things were about to change.
When he hung up he told his wife everything — Dave DeGuglielmo was out as the Patriots offensive line coach and Bill Belichick wanted him back in the position he held from 1999 to 2013.
Over the next week and a half, Scarnecchia and his wife talked it over. The two were embracing retirement. They traveled and spent more time with their grandchildren. But after two years removed from coaching, Scarnecchia felt rejuvenated.
"It is a tough decision because you become very used to a very nice lifestyle," Scarnecchia said. "We talked about it, my wife and I, and we decided this would be a good thing on a lot of different levels and as far as the grandkids being able to come to the games for free and just be a part of it all. And I like coaching football. I love coaching football. I didn't retire because I didn't like coaching football. I retired because I got tired of the lifestyle. Two years off, I'm OK."
His return is arguably one of the Patriots' best moves this offseason.
The team’s offensive-line woes came to a boiling point in the AFC Championship Game as Tom Brady was hit 20 times — the most in a single game since 2006. Brady was sacked 38 times in 2015 after being sacked 21 times the season before. It was clear that the team needed a change and there was no one better than this 68-year-old former sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve.
Scarnecchia is loved, but feared. He’s small in stature, but more than makes up for it on the practice field. He’s a screamer. He’ll push players to the limit. For this group of offensive linemen, it’s exactly what the doctor ordered.
On Monday, Scarnecchia said he’s not changing anything. For him, it’s all about giving his players a chance to be successful.
When asked if the time off taught him anything, Scarnecchia said no.
“The game's pretty much the same,” Scarnecchia said. "Get off the ball. Hit him. Do a great job of setting, put yourself between the launch point and them with inside-out leverage. … We ain't building rockets."
From 1999 to 2013, the Patriots didn’t have to worry about their offensive line coach. With Scarnecchia in the mix, the Pats routinely developed rookies — both drafted and undrafted — into starters. From high-profile prospects such as Damien Woody, Logan Mankins, Matt Light, Nate Solder, and Sebastian Vollmer to lesser-knowns such as Stephen Neal, Joe Andruzzi, Ryan Wendell, and Dan Connolly, Scarnecchia's track record of developing starters is top notch.
That’s going to be key for the Patriots, who have a laundry list of young interior linemen including Bryan Stork, David Andrews, Tre’ Jackson, Shaq Mason, Jonathan Cooper, Josh Kline, and most recently, Joe Thuney and Ted Karras.
"I really like teaching the game," Scarnecchia said. "I like the relationship with the players. I think the games are a lot of fun. They're agonizing, and they're tough. They're tough, man. When things aren't going well it's really hard. But I think all those things are the things I like the most."
Last month, Mankins and Light said that the young offensive linemen on the Patriots are in for a rude awakening. Life is about to change for those who have never been coached by Scarnecchia.
In the end, it’ll be sink or swim, but the Patriots should reap the benefits.
"There's no right way or wrong way to do this, but what's important is our way of doing it," Scarnecchia said. "That's what you have to hang your hat on. We're gonna do it this way. It's our way. Everybody lock arms and embrace it. If we do that, we’ll be OK. We’ll have a chance to be successful."

By Jack Day
To help someone in need is the essence of human kindness. To help 100,000 people in need without any expectation for anything in return is heroic. That’s about the number of patients who have received free medical care through the nonprofit OnePatient Global Health Initiative established by Dr. Daniel Ivankovich in 2010. The good doctor was getting tired of seeing people who needed help have to wait forever. or worse, not be able to get it at all because they couldn’t afford it.
In some of Chicago’s roughest neighborhoods where Dr. Ivankovich mainly works out of, that is the day to day reality for those who live there.
“There’s a whole other layer of patients in these undeserved communities. They’re under insured, and they’re uninsured. But they need care…I just saw people put on wait lists for months, even years and as a result their injuries get worse. I just said enough is enough!”
Watch the video to hear more from Dr. Ivankovich and how he has established three clinics in Chicago to serve him on his mission to care for the people with no where else to go.
What do you think about the plight of the good doctor? Have you ever provided a service or good deed for someone in need? Please tell us your experiences and share this story with your family and friends!

Egypt: Graffitis of the Revolution
The January Revolution and the toppling of the Mubarak regime have left conspicuous marks on numerous facades in the cities and towns of Egypt. The provocative messages of graffiti artists and activists are almost exclusively political in nature and focus on issues such as repression, violence and arbitrary police conduct.
Libya's Rich Legacy
A year after Libya's revolution and the death of leader Moammar Gadhafi the country is still struggling in its transition to a democratic and just society. Remembering cultural traditions may help the process. Impressions by Gaia Anderson and Sabine Hartert
The Uprising of Arab Women
The Arab Spring raised hopes that women in the region would get more rights. They're now standing up for themselves. With Islamist parties winning elections, some fear that women's rights will be reduced again. By Andreas Gorzewski
The Conflict in Western Sahara – The Eternal Wait
For almost 50 years, the Sahrawi people have been waiting for a referendum that would give them the opportunity to decide for themselves over their future and their homeland, the former Spanish colony of Western Sahara. When Spain pulled out of the territory in 1976, the odds for Western Saharan independence looked good, until Morocco laid claim to the land and occupied two thirds of the territory, which it still holds today.
In an attempt to escape the Moroccan army, many Sahrawi fled over the border to Algeria, where they established refugee camps outside the city of Tindouf. They have since been waiting nearly forty years to return home. Laura Overmeyer visited the camps.

The Visible Face of Islam: Mosques in Germany
There are more than three million Muslims in Germany, and they now find "places of prostration" – the original meaning of the Arabic word for mosque, 'masjid' – in around 200 regular mosques, but also in countless other locations for prayers and gatherings. Many mosques in Germany are not used solely for religious purposes, but also as an arena for intercultural and interfaith encounters, aimed at contributing to the acceptance and integration of religion in Germany.

''Breaking the Silence'': Former Soliders Criticizing Practices of the Israeli Military
"Breaking the Silence" is an initiative launched by veteran Israeli soldiers who want to draw attention to the situation in the Palestinian territories. They tell of violence against Palestinians, intimidation, a gradual increase in brutality and more. The "Breaking the Silence" exhibition started its tour of European capitals in Berlin and is open from 13–29 September 2012. All photos from Breaking the Silence.
Iranian painter Homa Arkani: Beautycraze
In spite of strict moral regulations, plastic surgery is allowed in Iran. More than 60,000 Iranian women per year get nose surgery. Such contradictions have informed Tehran-born artist Homa Arkani's work since 1983.
Symbols and Slogans of the Arab Spring
The innumerable symbols and slogans in graffiti, banners and leaflets that served the Arab demonstrators as a means for political protest against their autocratic rulers were at times rich in metaphor, laconic and ironic, and at other times more direct and accusatory.
The Challenges of Ramadan
For one month a year, the daily routines of Muslims are determined not only by prayer rituals, but also by sunrise and sunset. During the hours of daylight, the faithful are required to desist from eating and drinking and instead exercise self-discipline and abstinence. But for many Muslims, Ramadan brings with it a whole host of other challenges.
Conflict in Northern Mali
Since the toppling of President Amadou Toumani Touré in late March, Mali appears trapped in a hopeless political crisis: While a band of soldiers staged a mutiny in the capital Bamako, within a few days rebel Tuaregs and Islamist groups seized control of the north of the country in a bid to declare an independent state. This unlikely alliance has since faltered, threatening to further exacerbate the conflict in this West African nation. Texts: Annett Hellwig
The Lipka Tatars of Eastern Europe
While Muslims in Western Europe still represent a very recent phenomenon, Muslims have been settling in Eastern Europe for several centuries – in Belarus, Poland, and Lithuania, for example. Here, they are an integral part of the population. At the beginning of the 14th century a group of Tatars settled on territory encompassing the former Arch Duchy of Lithuania who were, in a name derived from the old Crimean Tatar word "Lipka" for Lithuania, called "Lipka Tatars". Today, several thousand descendants of this people live in the region. Photos: Ahmed Krausen, texts: Annett Hellwig
Islamic Architecture on Zanzibar
Zanzibar has long been a place of religious tolerance and diversity, and this characteristic is reflected in its architecture. The East African archipelago in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Tanzania enjoys a reputation as a melting pot of religions. In the maze of narrow alleyways that make up the old quarter of Stone Town on the main island Unguja, mosques stand side by side with Hindu temples and churches among houses made of coral by Muslim Arabs some 300 years ago. Impressions and images by Arian Fariborz.
The Palestinian Nakba of 1948
It's a day of celebration for Israelis but for Palestinians it's the Nakba, the catastrophe. The foundation of Israel on 14 May 1948 meant hundreds of thousands of them fled or were expelled from their homes.
Traces of Jewish Life in Iraq
The history of the Jews in Iraq has been documented since the Babylonian captivity, which began c. 586 C.E. During this period, Jews who had settled in and around Babylon were quickly assimilated into Babylonian society. Iraqi Jews not only flourished at this time, they also represented the oldest and most significant religious-historic Jewish community in the world. The Talmud dates from this period. In the 20th century, many Jews left the country as a result of persecution and pogroms following the Arab-Israeli war (1948).
Women Leading Change in the Arab World
The "Arab Spring" has led to a revision of our picture of the Arab woman: they've been on the streets, playing an active role in the protests, demonstrating their strong commitment to democracy, human rights and rights for women – and that has surprised and impressed many onlookers. But now that the dictators have been overthrown and new political structures are in the process of being created, many fear that women will once more be pushed out of the public space. But their courageous stand in favour of justice has shown: women are by no means the weaker sex. Arab women won't give up, and they plan to carry their revolution into the future.
Pre-Islamic Art from Saudi Arabia
What is ancient Italian glass doing in the southern Arabian desert, how did Roman hair fashion look under date palms, and why were ancient Egyptian art styles found beside West Iranian ceramics at Arabian caravan stations? The exhibition "Roads of Arabia", currently on show in Berlin, Germany, presents spectacular artefacts from prehistory and early history, as well as from ancient Saudi Arabia: This pre-Islamic archaeological heritage, long blanketed by sandstorms and eradicated from the collective memory of the "motherland of Islam", has been the subject of research by Saudi universities, in cooperation with international colleagues. Qantara.de presents some of the most unique exhibits in this slide show.
The Many Faces of the Arab Revolutions
The Arab Spring has many faces: Anger, hope, exhaustion and outright fear have marked the lives of thousands of people between Libya and Syria in recent months. While there is already widespread concern at the prospect of counter-revolutions and frustration at the political stagnation following the ousting of the old guard in some nations, in others people still fear for their survival
Mosques in Germany
These days, mosques in Germany are as diverse as the Muslim communities they represent. There are those that reflect the architectural tradition of classical Ottoman mosque design, but Germany has in the meantime also become home to several modern and innovative mosques such as those in Penzberg or the Cologne district of Ehrenfeld. Every year on October 3, the mosques operate an open-door policy for interested visitors. But in actual fact, it's possible to visit a mosque at any time.
Gadhafi: The End of a Tyrant
He seized power with force and wanted to lead Libya into a golden age of popular government. But his megalomania became his doom. On October 20, 2011, Moammar Gadhafi, for decades one of the most piercing figures in the league of Arab despots, was killed following fighting in Sirte.
The Al Mutanabbi Street in Baghdad
Al Mutanabbi Street is one of the oldest and best known streets in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, viewed as a seismograph of the state of Iraqi culture over the course of the centuries. The history of the street goes back to the time of the Abbasids. It was the site of the first book traders' market in the metropolis that was Baghdad. With its almost inexhaustible supply of books, Al Mutanabbi Street served as a contemporary witness to the political and cultural changes taking place in Mesopotamia. While in the 1950s, most of the books available were Marxist writings, these were later replaced by nationalistic Pan-Arabic works. For more than 30 years, traders were only allowed to sell books that glorified the Ba'ath ideology and later Saddam Hussein. All photos by Munaf al-Saidy
Ramadan in Asia
Ramadan is a holy month for the world's Muslims. It is a month of peace and the time in which the Koran was first sent down from heaven to the Prophet Mohammed. The fasting takes place from sunrise to sunset and means abstinence from eating, drinking and sex. It is a form of worship. Those who fast should gain a better appreciation of the predicament of the poor and the destitute. Ramadan is also a month devoted to intensive prayer and social welfare. Our slide show presents impressions of Ramadan from the varied Islamic cultures all across Asia.
Children in Afghanistan
Journalist Martin Gerner has made several trips to Afghanistan since 2004, reporting for various German radio stations and print publications. The photographs he has taken in the country represent an attempt to capture the everyday life of children in Afghanistan.
Women in Iran
The image of women in Iran has undergone dramatic change in recent years; Today, many Iranian women play a much more active role in their nation's economic and social life than during the Shah era. More than half of all students at Iranian universities are female. And in professional life, many Iranian women are keeping pace with their male counterparts, working as doctors, engineers, teachers and university lecturers. As actors and directors, they are making a significant contribution to the cultural life of their nation. And despite all the restrictions imposed on them by Islamic moral guardians in public life, they are making their presence felt in the sporting world too – something that would have been unthinkable just decades ago.
The Restauration of the Iraqi Marshland
In the years 2003, 2004 and 2006, Ikhlas Abbis traveled through the marshlands of southern Iraq. He took photographs of the process of development taking place in the swamps, which were drained under Saddam Hussein in the 1980s and reflooded after his overthrow.
Islam in China
Photojournalist Sean Gallagher traveled through the Islamic region of China in autumn of 2005. His photos show a vibrant Islamic society which nevertheless always feels threatened by China's centralized power structure.

Bitcoin Forecast: Looking for Buyers to Close Week - 30 August 2019
The Bitcoin market fell again during the trading session on Thursday, as we have broken through an uptrend line, and now looks susceptible to selling pressure. That being said though, there is a significant amount of horizontal support at the $9250 level, and that’s an area that could attract some attention. That being said, we also have broken through the 50 day EMA, so having said that it’s likely that the $9250 level could cause a bit of interest, and it could be tested rather stringently. It comes down to where we close for the Friday session. If we close below the $9250 level, then I think the market probably goes down towards the 200 day EMA, which is of course going to be supportive once we get down there. It’s closer to the $8000 level so if we do get a break down below the $9250 level, it’s likely that we could see a pretty significant move down to that level.
Ultimately, if we do get a bit of a bounce from here we will then test the bottom of the trend line, and then of course the 50 day EMA. If we can clear the 50 day EMA, then the uptrend can continue and we will probably go looking towards the $12,000 level. Overall, I think this is a market that continues to see a lot of volatility and choppiness, and as a result I would anticipate that you are probably better off waiting for the weekly close before putting serious money to work. I do believe that Bitcoin will eventually find buyers, but I also recognize that we could be gunning for trouble in the short term.
All things being equal though, the Bitcoin market has attracted a lot of monetary flow due to the issues about the world right now, and it is likely that the market will continue to be attractive for those seeking shelter from the geopolitical and trade issues. While things may have calmed down over the couple of days previous, the reality is it’s only a matter of time before something happens that shakes the nerve of traders around the world again. All things being equal I think it’s only a matter time before somebody comes in to pick this up. Perhaps there is a bit of profit taking going on, but at the end of the day it’s not a massive break down even though we have cleared the uptrend line. The rate of failure has been rather slow.

Our library has a range of books from childrens to adults, fiction, non fiction, cookbooks, magazines.
Our library comes from a passion for reading. I am starting by adding from my own collection. I think reading is a great therapy, especially for mental health. Hubby and i worked together to build our library and look forward to sharing with our community.


A few days ago, Western Digital launched its first portable external SSD, ready for the USB-C world. Today she is taking another step in this direction, this time with her brand G-Technology.
The company announced the G-DRIVE USB-CStylish external hard drive with high capacity and promise of great reliability.
As the name j indicates, the new drives use the USB-C interface (aka USB 3.1), ie ideal for recent MacBook (Pro) owners but also includes a standard USB-A cable. Inside we have 5,400RPM HDDs, with transfer rates of at 195MB / s.
Plugged in, the G-DRIVE USB-C provides at 45W power through its USB-C port. That's plenty of power for a 12-inch (29W) MacBook, but it's a little lower than what the 13-inch (60W) MacBook Pro needs, and a far cry from the 15-inch (85W).
The line will be marketed abroad in three versions: 4TB ($ 200), 8TB ($ 350) or up 10TB ($ 500). All come with a three-year limited warranty.

Did you check your phone before you started reading this article? Did you browse through your social media feed? Did you enquire about the score? Did you visit the new café everyone was talking about? Did you try the new camera app which makes your face look like a dog’s?
Do you know about the fear of missing out?
Because even if you don’t, there is a possibility that you might suffer from it in one form or another.
Spoiler alert: even your target audience suffers from it. You just need to use the right trigger to capitalize on it.
What is Fear Of Missing Out (FoMO)?
Fear of missing out is a fear or anxiety that something interesting or exciting may be happening somewhere which leads to a compulsive desire to experience it or be there, motivated not by what you’ll gain but by what you’ll probably lose.
FoMO is a social anxiety characterized by a want to know and stay connected with what others are doing and what’s happening around you.
The term was coined in 2004 by Patrick J. McGinnis in an article in an Harvard Business School’s magazine, The Harbus. However, the phenomenon is as old as the word of mouth marketing. Just like today, the fear of missing out was earlier triggered by word of mouth, newspapers and other media outlets. Social media is just a catalyst today.
What Causes Fear Of Missing Out?
People who suffer from the fear of missing out doesn’t always know what exactly they might be missing, but it’s the apprehension that they might miss out something important, interesting, or exciting and will be left out or out of touch with experiences and interactions.
It isn’t what you’ll gain, it’s the fear of loss, sadness, anxiety, inferiority, etc. which you’ll have to suffer in future that causes the fear of missing out.
Haven’t you tried the new app yet? Now you can’t be a part of your friends’ conversations.
Were you late to buy the phone during a flash sale? Your friends who bought it got a chance to flaunt.
You don’t know about Facebook? Are you a caveman?
FoMO Based Marketing
Your target market is as prone to the fear of missing out as you are. They check their phones when they get a notification, check their social media feed regularly, read newspaper, watch movies, and try new applications not to get left behind.
This fear of missing out can turn out to be a game changer for your business.
Not many years ago, there was an application which used artificial intelligence to turn your photos into works of art.
The application indeed used a innovating technology, but its success hugely depended on the fear of missing out capitalization strategies used by the company.
It had an inbuilt social sharing feature, used social sharing hashtags to get the followership, influencer marketing to borrow influencers’ followership, and got a lot of (paid and free) press coverage. The application was also initially released only for IOS users which resulted in a capitalization on the scarcity principle and helped in the word of mouth marketing.
Fear Of Missing Out (FoMO) Marketing Strategies
Around 69% of the millennials experience the fear of missing out. 60% of them make reactive purchases because of the FoMO. More than half of the people using social media experience FoMO. This makes FoMO an important topic among the marketers.
But how can you draft an effective marketing strategy which capitalizes on the fear of missing out?
Simple, by using the following strategies.
From flash sales to limited stock to limited period offers and deals, scarcity principle always triggers the fear of missing out and attract more viewers/customers/consumers.
According to this principle, humans consider a scarce object more valuable than the one which is in abundance. Scarcity creates a sense of urgency, triggers FoMO, and evoke people to act immediately.
Network effect states that the value of a good or service increases when more people use it. That is, a good or service will attract more customers if its value depend on the number of customers. Social media networks like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, WhatsApp are few examples.
How does the network effect trigger the fear of missing out?
The more people use that good or service, the more likely you’re to try it or you’ll get a feeling of being left behind.
You’re more likely to get hit by the fear of missing out when you hear the notification pop on your phone than compared to when there isn’t any trigger. Triggers come in many forms like emails, pop-up notifications, phone calls, word of mouth, etc.
A strong focus on trigger based marketing strategies is beneficial if you’re planning to capitalize on FoMO.
Exclusivity increases the pride of the exclusive users and make non-exclusive users long for the same benefit. This increases the word of mouth marketing. Many restaurants run special discounts and other offers exclusively for their regular members which attract other customers to become regular and experience and see what they’ve been missing out.
Being explicit about the loss that the user will have to suffer attracts more users than notifying them about the gains.

Bail for suspects accused of lynching Pakistani Christian couple and burning them alive in brick kiln
The suspects accused of lynching Pakistani Christian couple and burning them alive in a brick kiln after accusing them of blasphemy have been granted bail.
Shahzad Masih and pregnant Shama Bibi were murdered in November 2014.
Yousaf Gujjar, and three others charged in connection with their deaths and accused of inciting a crowd to beat and torture the couple, have been granted bails.
This is despite the fact that the Deputy Inspector General of Police Kasur has admitted that were it not for these four individuals, the atrocity would never have occurred.
The parents to three young children were brutally killed after they were accused of desecrating the Quran.
Gujjar is the owner of the brick kiln where Shahzad and Shama worked and were burnt.
On November 10, an anti-terrorism court remanded him and three others in custody, they applied for bail at the time, but the applications were refused.


Apple Takes Early Step Towards iPhones With 'Above 12-Megapixel' Rear Cameras
Apple reportedly has booked production capacity for "above 12-megapixel" camera lens modules at a new factory being built by smartphone lens maker Largan Precision in Taichung, Taiwan, according to DigiTimes.
The report, citing "market rumors," claims Largan is the only supplier that can meet Apple's minimum yield rate. The new factory is reportedly designed to accommodate monthly production of 600 million lens modules.
Largan will allegedly start production in October 2017, suggesting the camera lens modules could be destined for future iPhone models released in 2018 or later, rather than the so-called iPhone 8 this fall.
It is widely rumored that the iPhone 8 will have a vertically-aligned dual-lens rear camera, with optical image stabilization for both the wide-angle and telephoto lenses, but no credible rumors have surfaced about its quality.
Apple improves its iPhone cameras each year, so an increased megapixel count of some kind is certainly still possible this year.
Apple's latest iPhone and iPad models, including the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, 10.5-inch iPad Pro, and 12.9-inch iPad Pro, are all equipped with 12-megapixel rear-facing cameras and 7-megapixel front-facing cameras.
Keep in mind that megapixels don't always matter, as even a TV or monitor with 4K Ultra HD resolution of 3,840×2,160 pixels only has roughly 8.3 megapixels, which isn't enough to display a 12-megapixel photo at full resolution.
Nevertheless, if this rumor is accurate, then perhaps we'll see an iPhone with a 16- or 18-megapixel rear camera or higher in the future.

The start of the new school year always comes with some changes, and this year we have seen big shifts in Northwest School’s twelfth-grade humanities structure. Seniors are now getting the opportunity to have more of a voice in the humanities electives they are taking. Humanities Department Chair Curtis Hisayasu provided a deep dive into these structural changes.
Curtis’s main job working as the Department Chair is to oversee and support the development of curriculum across all the grade levels. When Curtis came into this role one of the things he was asked to take a closer look at was the structure of the twelfth-grade humanities curriculum. Curtis says “I started off at this school as a twelfth-grade teacher and without knowing what the larger learning goals were; it was a challenge for me personally to design a class in that space.” Thinking about new teachers and wanting to create a solid curriculum, Curtis wanted to make sure there was more clarity around the meaning of these classes and what they were supposed to accomplish.
It has always been the case that twelfth graders at Northwest have the opportunity to choose from a small menu of humanities courses. This gives them the opportunity to have more agency over what they study during their senior year. According to Curtis, “the big change for students is that we are now working off of trimester-long electives. Students are now getting to take five electives. Since these classes are now trimester electives these classes are now shorter, and quicker and are in some ways more intense.” This is a big change compared to last year when seniors were only taking two humanities classes over the course of the school year.
Over the last few years, Northwest has lacked a system for deciding who teaches these twelfth-grade humanities courses. One of the consequences of this is that there were not as many opportunities for staff to craft a curriculum that works together. Curtis described how “one of the biggest changes students didn’t see is that we created a proposal system for these courses.” Curtis also mentioned that even the teachers who’ve been teaching twelfth-grade courses here at Northwest for years have had to “apply.” The teachers have to present a proposal for their class regarding their learning goals which allows the department to be thoughtful about choosing courses that would offer the most diverse options for students
This change also means that student choice is honored in a better way. Curtis notes that “When we originally had a system with only two classes, you were going to take all year. if you’re teaching that one class that every student is trying to get into, only twenty students are going to get into it and the rest are just out of luck for the whole year. In this new system, some of those more popular classes are able to have sixty students take them.”
Leila S. ‘23 said that she likes “getting a very diverse experience of learning. We are getting different teachers, different teaching styles, and much more right before college, which I think is very important.” Another senior, Zoey N. ‘23 mentions the depth of what teachers can cover in one trimester saying, “I feel like the depth of what the teachers can go into is really limited when teachers only have one trimester.” Both Zoey and Leila said that they do not think they can draw a conclusion about the positive or negative impacts of this change until after the second trimester when they fully have experienced the new curriculum structure.
Scott Davis is a twelfth-grade humanities teacher and has been a part of The Northwest School since 1999. Scott mentioned his personal experience with this humanities change saying, “A positive aspect of this change is being able to work with so many students of the senior class. Over the course of three trimesters, I will be teaching 60% of all the seniors.” However, this also comes with some negatives. Scott says, “I am missing the depth of the relationships with the students. I am barely getting to fully know the students in my course now, and it is already time for my students to move on to the next course.” Even though Scott gets to know more seniors, the depth of these relationships are on a more shallow level. Scott went on to say that he doesn’t know how he feels yet about this humanities change. “Jury is still out,” he says.
This humanities change for the twelfth grade is very different from anything Northwest has done previously. This change has lots of positive aspects but also some negative as well. As the school year goes on, it will be interesting to see how this change plays out for teachers and students of the twelfth grade.

2K Sports Cancels MLB 2K Series
Posted on Tuesday, January 7 @ 11:39:38 PST by Nicholas Tan
In a statement to Joystiq, 2K Sports has officially "decided not to renew" its MLB 2K baseball game series: "We are very proud of the achievements made by the MLB 2K team and look forward to their contributions to our future titles, including NBA 2K - our industry's #1 rated and #1 selling basketball franchise."
Baseball fans may have seen this coming, either because they noticed that 2K Sports had been taking down all evidence of MLB from its Facebook, YouTube, and official websites or because the MLB 2K series hasn't been faring well in scores. MLB 2K13 has a Metascore of 48, 20 points lower than MLB 2K12's Metascore of 68.
Without this series for competition, this means that Microsoft's consoles will be without a simulation baseball video game (despite its emphasis on sports in their press conferences), while Sony's consoles will continue to have MLB: The Show, scheduled this year on PS3, PS4, and Vita for spring. Sony would do well to capitalize on this MLB exclusivity for as long as it lasts.

Host Home Program
Within our Host Home Program, we offer three different settings: Traditional Family Integration, Elevated Living and our Roommate Mentor Model.
Traditional Family Integration
Our Traditional Family Integration operates just as described. An individual selects a pre-screened family where they then become an “adopted” member of the family. Individuals in traditional family host homes share a living space and essentially most elements of their lives with their “second” family.
Everyone works together to perform all the roles and responsibilities of a traditional family that strengthens all its members. Individuals in a traditional family setting contribute their own talents and abilities to enhance their host family and in turn they receive love, support, mentorship, room & board, transportation, and many other organic benefits of this dynamic partnership.
Some of our individuals are independent but their circumstances may prevent them from living fully on their own. Our Elevated Living Model solves this dilemma. Our company works very hard to find host families with open mother-in-law or basement apartments within their homes. Our individuals are then placed into these nice and accommodating placements, which then gives them a space to call their very own. Well-trained and loving host families are always close by to provide mentorship, supervision, and many other similar supports of a traditional family setting but more so on an “as-needed” basis.
Elevated living allows individuals to essentially live life on their own terms. They have the independence and the privacy that they crave, a decreased cost of living, but any support they need is never far away. Our Elevated living model has received great industry acclaim and has shown to be tremendously successful for all involved.
Roommate Mentor Model
Sometimes a traditional living setting, elevated living model, or living completely on their own is not an option. Enter our Roommate Mentor Model. This setting provides a healthy combination of the previous two options but offers more of a peer to peer relationship with their mentor buddy. Mentors provide our individuals with life guidance, transportation needs, meal prep, access to activities, supervision, decreased/shared cost of living, and everything in between! Many individuals in the roommate model environment have jobs, drive their own cars, and come and go as they please. For those looking for balance between companionship and support, while still maintaining independence, this model perfectly suits their needs!

An Interesting Snake Lost/Found Story
On the night of April 25, 1998 I went to my work shop in the garage to get some fuzzies to feed to my sand boas. I noticed, in a box of deer mice, a snake. It was an attractive 25" male San Luis Potosi kingsnake (Lampropeltis m. mexicana.) It had a midbody lump indicating the demise of a deer mouse. It is an attractive snake, and it now resides in my collection.
No one else in the area is keeping mex mex and all of my mex mex are accounted for.
In 1996 I had a clutch of San Luis Potosi kingsnake eggs laid. One by one they went bad, and one by one I picked them from the incubation box and disposed of them. After a few weeks I was down from ten eggs to two. The final two eggs had turned various colors and had begun to sink in. I left them in the incubation box and left the box on a cabinet shelf in the kitchen. I then forgot about them. In January or February I noticed the box and decided to dump out the remaining bad eggs and vermiculite. I was dismayed to find that one of the eggs had hatched and that the neonate had somehow escaped from the plastic shoe box. Since the last time I had looked at the eggs was in August, I have no idea when it hatched or how long it had been gone.
With a sigh I emptied the contents of the box into the trash. I then forgot the occasion until last night.
I can only assume that the snake found in the mouse box was the one which hatched from a
bad egg, escaped from the incubation box, got out of the closet, got out of the house and
survived for about twenty months by foraging on my property. The color is consistent with offspring from the pair which produced the eggs, and the head markings are ones which are dominant with my strain of mex mex. At any rate, it is a welcome addition to my collection.

Apart from the beautiful appearance the sphere has the benefit of having the most surface area of any shape. This means that it will cool drinks down more efficiently and also keep it's shape. In Japan, only the best cocktail bars serve ice balls. Whisky connoisseurs wouldn't put anything else in their drinks. Make an impression.
It is almost impossible to make ice balls with a mould. Up until now the only way to achieve a clear ice ball was to carve it by hand using an ice pick. Professional Japanese cocktail barmen are famous for winning awards for creating perfectly spherical ice balls just using a block of ice and an ice pick, until now!
Also from Japan comes the futuristic ice ball mould. Made from a secret alloy it works at body temperature to product a perfect sphere from a block of ice in just a few seconds. Using quality ice the results are outstanding.
Ice balls are produced in three sizes. 30mm, 55mm and 80mm. See how they are made by watching the video below.
If video doesn't play Click Here
Quality clear ice is also difficult to achieve. Why? Because as ice freezes it does so from the outside edges in. Water contains dissolved oxygen, salts and minerals. As the ice freezes all of these are concentrated in the centre of the block which makes the centre cloudy or opaque. Trapped bubbles of oxygen can also spoil the result although they can also be attractive, depending on what the desired effect is.
How do you make clear ice?
There are many methods but none of them produce 100% clear ice. The clearest ice in nature is an icicle. This is made from pure water that already has it's oxygen taken out because it is made from melting snow. The snow melts at around 1c and runs down the icicle before being frozen again at freezing temperatures. The water is frozen in layers giving almost perfectly clear results. The method is time consuming and difficult to reproduce in commercial environments.
Some ice merchants use filtered water and boil it, twice, before freezing it very slowly at temperatures between -1c and -3c. This is good but again not perfect.
Another way which probably produces the clearest ice and is used by many industrial ice making processes. In the USA large ice blocks are produced and while the block is frozen air is bubbled low pressure using a tube running to the middle of the block. This bubbling allows all the problems to be carried away. Just before the centre on the block freezes the tube is withdrawn and water is poured into the escape run. This method produces ice that is approximately 97% clear.
We can provide ice cubes and blocks up to 1000 x 500 x 250mm in size.
