Damage to the eye is rather common in children, but it can occur to anyone. Many things can get into the eye and scratch or cut it in some way. This type of damage is called corneal abrasions and it needs to be looked at by a doctor to ensure that no serious damage has been done. Treatment helps to protect the eye and your sight.
Almost anything that can touch the eye could cause an injury to it. The cornea is the clear part of your eye. The abrasions of the cornea could be caused by things such as a tree branch, sand, dust, a piece of paper, fingernails, contact lenses, sparks, eye makeup, chemicals, and more.
The Symptoms of an Eye Abrasion
When the cornea of the eye is damaged, it is going to affect your vision in some way. There could be a burning or stinging sensation, and things may appear to be blurred. In addition, there may also be:
- Red or bloodshot eyes
- Watery eyes
- The sensation that something is in your eye
- A sensitivity to light
- A headache
Why Treatment is Necessary
Many cases of corneal abrasions are only minor injuries. The cornea will typically heal itself within about three days. When it is a minor scratch, this type of injury will usually have a full recovery, without any lasting damage to the eye. A deeper scratch could lead to scars, infections, and other damage. Although it will not be seen right away, an abrasion to the eye could possibly cause an infection inside the eye, called an iritis.
Things to Avoid
When you or someone else has suffered an abrasion of the cornea, there are some things you do not want to do. For one thing, do not wear contact lenses while the eye is healing, this could make it worse. Also…
- Do not rub the eye.
- Do not touch the eye with tweezers, cotton swabs, or anything else.
- If an object is embedded in the eye, do not remove it.
After an abrasion occurs, there are some things you can do to help. Start by rinsing the eye with clean water. Using a saline solution is good, too, and it could wash away the problem. Blink several times. You can also pull the upper eyelid over the lower one. This enables the lower eyelashes to brush away something that may be under the upper eyelid.
When to See a Doctor
It is a good idea to see a doctor whenever you experience an injury to the cornea. This includes when you have blurred vision, when the pain in the eye lasts more than just a few hours, when there is a chemical injury, or when the pain to your eye returns after it has seemingly disappeared.
When you have corneal abrasions, the Silver Star Urgent Care clinic is able to treat you. We see all of our patients quickly, enabling you to avoid long waits in a hospital emergency room. Walk-ins are welcome, and we do accept most health insurance plans. We also stay open later than most doctors’ offices – from 8:00 am until 8:00 pm seven days a week.

High-RPM EFI Intakes Test: Spin the Throttle
With an 8,000-rpm Small-Block on Tap, We Test Six High-RPM EFI Intakes
If you tuned in last month, you saw us follow along as Rick Anderson of Anderson Ford Motorsport coupled a lightweight D.S.S. 347 with one of his AFM Hydraulic Roller High Rev series camshafts to create an 8,000-rpm-capable, 458hp, fuel-injected small-block (:Natural High," Oct. '02 p. 55). If you didn't tune in last monthwell, shame on you (our subscrip- tions are cheap, you know). In last month's issue, we detailed many of the lightweight internals Rick optioned for his D.S.S. Sportsman Renegade short-block, as well as the specs of the AFM N113 camshaft and the cylinder-head porting. Then we dyno'd the combination with an Edelbrock Victor 5.0 intake manifold with the aforementioned impressive results.
In any case, it was a trick engine (for more on the complete combo, check out the 5.0 Tech Specs sidebar). With such rpm capability, we thought there might be a little power lurking in the intake manifold, so we resolved to try as many of the high-rpm EFI intakes as we could in a back-to-back dyno test. We gathered up some of the most aggressive EFI intake manifolds on the planet: Edelbrock's Victor 5.0, Probe Industries' EFI Spyder, Reichard Racing's Billet Upper, Trick Flow's R-series, Trick Flow's prototype box upper, and Vortech's Mondo Box. With five intakes in his trunk and one under the hood, Rick headed back to one of his favorite places, the Dynojet building onsite at AFM. During the course of three days, Rick swapped the intake manifolds and dyno'd each with the same settings in his trusty Programmable Management System, taking great care to make each pull at the same engine temperature for consistency. As deadlines approach, Rick usually regrets agreeing to test a pile of hardware for us, but when it's over he's usually glad he did it because he learned something (and if he learned something, we can all learn something). And this test was no different. Rick had questioned whether the new generation of simple box intakes could perform as well as today's modern short-runner designs, and as it turns out, they can.
If you're new on the scene, you might be wondering what kind of tubing is attached to the throttle body in all our photos. Well, that's one of AFM's Naturally Aspirated Power Pipes. That's right--they're not just for blowers anymore. These large-diameter tubes are designed to place the mass air meter in the inner fender and provide an unfettered path for inlet air, which usually results in several more horsepower to the rear wheels of your Mustang.


spring’s sun-kissed skin: beyond the bronze-------
During the Spring show season, designers often pass down a “warm” mandate to the makeup artist in charge backstage. This is why, aside from a few rogue dissenters, you frequently see a bevy of rosy cheeks walking down the runway come September. Spring 2009 was no exception to this general rule, although in a particularly interesting turn of events, no one seemed willing to just call a rose a rose, so to speak. No, this year makeup artists got inventive and took creative license with the whole trend: At 3.1 Phillip Lim, NARS Cosmetics’ Ayako had an inspiration board with pictures of National Geographic cover girls—she called her bronzed cheek contours “dusty Gypsy skin.” Pat McGrath referenced “Mexican folklore” for the semi-flushed face she gave models at Anna Sui, and Charlotte Tilbury called the airbrushed tan she designed for Zac Posen “tribal.” We thought Dick Page’s “après-ski, pre-fondue” wind-burnt look at Michael Kors topped our list of inspirational favorites until we saw Tom Pecheux’s handiwork at Hermès. Approaching “ruddy,” Pecheux’s rugged faces managed to recast the image of frontierswomen in an elegant, even blatantly sexy way. Trailblazing, indeed.

Founded in 1978 with the formation of Linell Precision Engineering, the Linell Group initially provided engineering components to the MoD submarine fleet before diversifying into the oil and gas sector throughout the 1980s and 1990s. This history in operating inside engineering environments where quality is critical has enabled the Linell Group to establish key vendor status with several OEM customers, while the company also provides full turnkey services from sourcing to delivery with full quality assurance certification. During 2000 the company’s current Financial Director, Derek Whyte and Managing Director, Mike Elliott took over the running of the business from Mike’s father and have continued to develop the presence of Linell within the oil and gas sector and beyond.
“2000 onward was a transitional period for the company because although Linell Precision Engineering was already active within the oil and gas market, it actually became the most significant part of our business between 2000 and 2009,” Derek elaborates. “As the business has grown we have formed several other engineering companies, with Linell Precision Engineering continuing to operate as the main hub of the organisation. Prior to taking over operation of the Linell Group, Mike and I founded Moorfield International during 1996. This company was oil and gas orientated and supplied lithium batteries to the industry, which were used in downhole drilling and production applications. This is today part of the wider Linell Group, while we later created a company called International Forged Alloys in 2011 to enable the business to supply raw materials. Prior to founding the company, the Linell Group was spending a considerable amount of money each year on raw materials and we decided that if the business had its own division in this area it would enable us to supply both Linell and the wider market at a reduced cost. This in turn has further empowered us to control the flow of deliveries to our customers and to ensure that materials arrive on time.”
In February 2014 the Linell Group finally established Linell Renewables, so that today the business consists of four individual divisions comprised of Linell Precision Engineering, Moorfield International, International Forged Alloys and Linell Renewables. Although Linell Precision Engineering is presently the largest division within the Linell Group in terms of turnover, the company’s remaining divisions continue to grow steadily through a blend of market experience and innovation. Linell Renewables for example, was established to transfer the Group’s engineering expertise in the drilling and production sectors to develop innovative renewable energy solutions. “Following the establishment of Linell Renewables we designed a tidal turbine. We were initially attracted to look at the renewable industry because we felt that wind turbines do not always work efficiently. I am a sailor and I had always felt that tidal energy was the way to go because it provides a guaranteed form of energy daily that is generated by the sea,” Derek says. “The roots of our tidal generator design actually reach back to our work within the oil and gas market. Throughout 2007 and 2008 we designed lithium batteries for the energy sector and when using this kind of battery it is typical for operators to implement a 20 per cent safety margin before they remove and replace the batteries, rather than allowing the battery to fail. Naturally clients continue to look for longer life performance for these batteries and we were able to provide this through the design of a downhole generator. However while we have built and sold several of these units, it has been relatively challenging to bring the generators to market because the industry can be slow to embrace new technology. The tidal unit is unique and we have spent a considerable amount of money in the development of the project, including taking out various patents around the world. We have recently been award the European patent permits and are in the process of deciding where to protect the tidal turbine across the continent.”
By incorporating a proven energy saving technology into an environmentally sustainable application such as tidal energy, the Linell Grouphas generated significant interest from both the UK government and technology-focused institutions. As a result the company has been awarded significant support and entered into partnerships with several organisations, including the University of West Scotland. “We have recently been awarded a prestigious Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) by the UK Government and are going to be working with postgraduate students. We are working closely with the university and will place a post graduate student at our premises for a period of three years, during which time we will work to verify all of the tests that we have carried out on the tidal turbine to date,” Derek elaborates. “With the award of the KTP the development of the turbine will accelerate significantly over the coming years and we will be looking for partners and investors to help us in the final design and construction of the tidal generators.”
Although the oil and gas market has experienced a significant downturn in the face of falling oil prices, the Linell Group has been fortunate in that it maintains a strong order book and a healthy balance sheet. Its previous experience within the submarine defence market has enabled the company to embark on a new venture supplying safety critical components and assemblies to a company who specialises in pressure vessels, while the company also continues to provide technologies and raw materials to the oil and gas sector. “Despite a drop in turnover in the wake of the depreciation of the oil price, we have continued to remain strong in the market while other business have felt the pinch. The challenge within the oil and gas market for the future is that the supply chain has been devastated, which will make it difficult for operators to acquire materials once the market picks up,” Derek concludes. “However, through our International Forged Alloys business we are able to guarantee the delivery of raw materials without having to mark up the cost of components. We have growth plans for the next three to five years to be twice the size we were at peak size, meaning that we are aiming for a turnover of £25 million over the coming years and we have a strategy to get there.”

Continuing a streak of award-winning excellence, the staff of the Epitome,
Lehigh University’s yearbook, was recently selected as the recipient of the Premier Print Award for its 2003 edition. The Epitome
also won this prestigious award in 2000, 2001 and 2002.
The 2003 Epitome
was selected for “outstanding achievement in production of school yearbooks” by Jostens, the graphic arts industry’s largest and most prestigious worldwide printing competition. The Lehigh yearbook was selected from among more than 5,500 entries from printing and graphic arts firms around the world.
also consistently places first in the American Scholastic Press Association Yearbook Competition, according to Linda Lipko, publications coordinator for the yearbook in the university’s journalism department.
consistently receives awards because of the highly skilled, motivated, talented students who have a keen sense of what it takes to pull together a quality publication,” Lipko says.
Adds Diane Dymek, the assistant adviser who has served as assistant adviser to the yearbook for the past 10 years: "Many schools no longer publish a yearbook due to lack of student interest. Therefore, it's refreshing to observe students who devote many hours of time and put 100 percent effort into consistently producing an award-winning yearbook."
Thousands of hours well-spent
Lipko says that, in her 20-year history with the publication, she has supervised hundreds of students who have collectively put in thousands of hours of their time for neither academic credit nor pay.
“They deserve tremendous credit,” she says, singling out 2004 Epitome
and Brown & White
editor John Misinco for praise for his technical and organizational skills.
“John is a shining example of a student who is heavily involved in the academic atmosphere at Lehigh,” she says.
She also noted Yomaris Maldonado’04, last year’s photo editor, as a valuable member of the photo staff.
“Her excellent photos are displayed throughout the four yearbooks she helped to publish,” she says. “Assignments were always on time. She supervised a large staff of students and inspired them to give their best. And that was in addition to being a presidential scholar, a Tauck Scholar, vice president of the Global Union, a member of the Phi Beta Delta Honor Society, the International Club Secretary, a member of the Asian Cultural Society, the French Club, Lehigh University Student Senate, being involved in the Mustard and Cheese Society, the Marketing Club, Packer Church Choir, Japanese Culture Club, Society Hispanic Professional Engineers, the History Club, the Philosophy Club and the Genesis Gospel Choir.”
Maldonado continues the tradition of having a fifth-year presidential scholar serving as Epitome
editor, which began in 2000 when civil engineering/architecture major Andrew Hartman took over in the position.
“Andrew produced a book that focused on details throughout the campus,” says Lipko. “Aided by the technical skill of Nick Cappadona ’03 -- who was an integral part of the leadership team for the entire five years he was at Lehigh – the book highlighted some of the more obscure places on campus, such as intricate carvings on the doors and fireplace of Linderman library, the quiet places where students find to study, the beauty of the stained glass windows in Packer Chapel and the lights that shed a glow on the walkways at night.”
The award-winning 2001 Epitome
, under the leadership of Kristen Tedesco ‘99 and Allison Mack ‘01, was distinguished by a unique ultra-violet process for the cover and beginning sections of the book.
“This stunning book included a tip in section in the athletics section and included a wonderful two-page photo called ‘bald and beautiful’ that highlighted the swim team members, some of whom were women who had shaved their heads to celebrate their win,” says Lipko. “I remember Kristen spending many hours during the summer, after her graduation, to finish the book. We are in her debt and appreciated the extra care she gave to the process.”
A synergy of talent and effort
The 2002 Epitome
, under the editorship of Jennifer O'Connell ‘02, focused on the history of Lehigh, and featured a sepia duo tone process to simulate historic photographs.
The theme of the 2003 Epitome
was "What it Takes,” which highlighted the components of life as a student, an undergraduate, a senior, an athlete, a scholar, a club member, or a volunteer.
The 2004 Epitome
, with the theme of "Perceptions," included many photos of the diversified population at Lehigh and included in-depth interviews of professors and students.
The current 2005 Epitome
staff includes IBE/materials science and engineering major and four-year Epitome
veteran Olga Stewart ‘05, who will return to Lehigh next year as a member of the fifth-year program. Engineering major John Aliquo ‘05, who has been involved with the Epitome
for the past three years, will act as co-editor.
Although Aliquo is a member of the Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society, Phi Beta Kappa, and the Pi Tau Sigma mechanical engineering honor society, the majority of his extra-curricular time is devoted to the Epitome
. He says he is motivated to remain involved to “create a book of memories that will likely be most seniors' only way to look back upon and remember their time at Lehigh.
“There's really nothing like seeing all of the pages that so many of us create come together to form the final book,” he continues. ”It's a true synergy of talent and effort that everyone on the staff provides that allows our book to be so successful every year.”

DANCING THE WORLD'S END
Miko was old, very old. His flaxen hair had turned grey and the hand that I held had withered into a claw. It would not be long, his passing would probably be that night. The nurses probably took me for his daughter or grand-daughter, but in truth Miko and I had been partners once; when we had danced on stage we had been a blazing light, our feet moving faster than eyes could follow until we had been a blur of movement and sound. Now Miko was old and palsied in the way of his people and I was still fair and young in the way of my people. At seventy he was, by my people's reckoning, a child in years. I had seen the passing of more millennia than a man could comfortably reckon, always dropping from sight before my agelessness became apparent. Poor Miko, his friends had said, abandoned by his young, attractive consort when his hair turned grey and his steps faltered. Only Miko knew the truth, or at least the part of it: that I could not age and that I could take the form of any of earth's animals; furred, feathered or smooth of skin.
"You said there would be four," he whispered, his voice trembling in the shrunken folds of his throat, "and that we would set the whole world alight with our dance. A dream we never realised, Fay."
"There will be four, Miko, but it will be in another lifetime." I told him. It would be in another lifetime for him, but at the end of this lifetime for me. Immortals have no soul, no afterlife, no hope of redemption in another existence. I knew that there would be four of us and that we would set the world alight, and that after that dance only three of those souls would dance again.
"You were well named - you were ever fey. Who else will it be?" he asked. It would not be long now, so I told him.
"Cullen ... "
"Cullen's dead. He died sixteen years ago, dear Fay have you forgotten?"
I smiled. Miko had always seen Cullen as a competitor for my affections. Sweet Cullen who always been overshadowed by Miko's talent, but whose sweet nature had borne no ill will. Cullen had passed without ever knowing what I was; he had seen me become partner - and more - to Miko and had never begrudged Miko his luck.
"The fourth has not yet been born," I said, "Her name is Genie and she danced the beginning of the world."
Whether Miko had heard me I didn't know. He had slipped beyond my reach then, into the long dark sleep of the soul. I would not see him again until the four were reunited to dance the end of the world.
Long years passed. I had seen the passing of thirty millennia, remaining an obscure presence in the shadows, stepping into the light only rarely and vanishing again before my un-ageing could be noticed. The world was dry and dusty, ravaged by its inhabitants, sterilised by their weapons. Almost no animals roamed the wastes, save those who could eke out an existence in the desert that the world had become. The People lived in tents, raggedy tents of metal, plastic and nylon torn from the hulls of aircraft and the ships which had never made it beyond the reaches of this star's planetary system, and from the wood of the One Tree. Hope was dying along with the planet. With no children being born, and that was a mercy since the world could not support even this vestigial population, this was the final generation. It was time to dance the end of the world.
That morning as the sun rose above the dust of the horizon, made bloated and red by the chemical smog of the atmosphere, I put on my moccasins. I had sewn metal to heel and toe. I chose to dance the world's end on a place of dull red rock, close to the ten or so tents that comprised this village. Once a city had stood here, bustling and throbbing with a million inhabitants. Before that, a fertile plain populated by bison.
I began to dance, slowly at first, remembering the steps, then growing in confidence as the memories returned. Some of The People watched. In this sad world it was not odd that someone wanted to dance. Someone beat a drum and a bone flute joined in with a melody. The tune had been written down once as the lament of a great Irish warrior, but in truth it was older than that time, older than this world.
Someone took my hand, the memory of this dance whispering in his soul. Though the body was different and the hair a dull red, not flaxen, I knew him. Miko was one of the four. Together, Miko and I spun and danced on the plain. A dark-haired man came to join the dance. I knew him too. Once he had been called Cullen, but that was in a different time. Three of us made a circle and stepped the old dance. Finally the fourth joined us, a copper-haired woman. Genie had danced the world's beginning, she completed the circle. Fiery Miko, restlessly creative, quick-tempered and proud. Gentle Cullen, slow to anger, compassionate and always able to see the best in people. Enigmatic Genie, intense, who watched and waited before acting. And I.
Under our feet was rock, but in our memories we saw grass and made it so. The grass spread from the centre of the circle outward. Rain, the first rain in centuries began to fall. The music faltered, then settled as the musicians were caught in the spell. For three of the four, the memories of the steps were at odds with bodies that had never known the dance, but as their confidence grew, the dance became faster, a whirling thing of flashing feet and flying hair. A spring welled up from the rock; a sapling broke free of the wet earth. Where there had been only a dusty plain there was woodland.
Next we danced the weather. Clouds began to form and the orange air cleared into blue skies behind the clouds. The grass continued to spread, a green carpet unrolling itself to the edge of sight and beyond. Trees grew straight and tall. We danced now in a grove and that was as it should be, the world's end was danced on a barren plain, the world's beginning was ever danced in a sacred grove. The stream flowed away from us, widening into a silver river, winding between the trees along the path of a forgotten watercourse.
In one of the trees a bird sang. We were now dancing the animals of earth into being. The plains would be full of bison, antelope and great hunting cats. Silver fish leapt in the water, chased by bear and otter. There were four of us and we danced the end of the world which was also the world's beginning.
The tempo changed as we danced the seasons into being. Snow fell, chased away by warm rain. Trees and flowers budded, the sweet smell of spring gave way to the richness and abundance of summer, then for a while we danced on fallen orange leaves, then frost, then the first loam of a new spring. Miko smiled at me; the fiery soul in the body recognising me. Gentle Cullen squeezed my hand, Genie laughed her rippling laughter.
"Four of us, dancing at the world's end," said Miko as his body moved to the rhythm of the awakening world. Now his creativity led the dance. Miko was fire, burning with life; Genie was air, whispering and laughing; Cullen was earth, stable and solid; I was water, a mysterious power, often hidden from sight.
Four of us, soon to be three, for the world needed a spirit of its own. With the seasons set in place the dance slowed. The dancers were tiring. Genie had danced with me at the beginning of the world and had danced in many lifetimes since. Miko and Cullen were spirits tied together, ever to be friendly rivals, two sides of a single coin. I had only one existence to live, I had danced one world into being and had danced its end with Miko, Cullen and Genie. Now we were dancing a new world into being, but the dance would go on without me. I left the dancing circle. The three formed a circle about me and I felt myself change as they danced the spirit of the world into being. Only Genie and I had danced two worlds into being; Genie in another incarnation and I as the un-ageing one who carried the world's patterns within me; now it was time for me to give those patterns back to the world.
Soon where I stood would be the One Tree, the Last Tree and the First Tree. It would stand for centuries, but my spirit would go into the world with its probing roots. Who would be the One to guard the world through another lifetime? My own guardianship was done, now it was for another to remain in the shadows through the millennia, stepping into the light only when needful. Perhaps among The People one would be immortal and carry the memory of the dance through the millennia, or perhaps one from another people would bear the burden. We had danced the world into being, the dance at the world's beginning. Another would know when it was time to dance the world's end.
There is the irony. Until this time I was immortal, now I am the world spirit. Perhaps the true immortals are Miko, Cullen and Genie. Genie whose soul has lived diverse lifetimes has danced two worlds into being with me and who may be the new immortal, holding the memory of the dance through the millennia until next time. Miko and Cullen, two halves of a whole, who might be born to dance the end of another world. And a fourth, whose soul has not yet been forged in the void, to join them. That is not for me to know. The peoples are scattered on the face of this world. The renewal has begun. Ageless, I have seen the cycle through from beginning to end. It is for another now to carry the heavy burden of immortality through the next age of this world.

Chapter 89: Madame Li's many secrets Original and most updated translations are from volare. If read elsewhere, this chapter has been stolen. Please stop supporting theft.
Han Ruoxue was startled by her mother’s fierceness and hastened to reply. “Mu Liuyue said Han Yunxi didn’t treat the young general’s illness, but his poison instead!”
These words turned Madame Li’s fists stiff. But she didn’t say a word.
“The young general was sneak attacked by an assassin with a poisoned sword. Han Yunxi knew how to treat poisons and saved him, but who knew he had a slow-acting poison too? Fortunately, Han Yunxi discovered that too and treated it,” Han Ruoxue explained.
At these words, Madame Li suddenly relaxed her fists. She was completely speechless, her eyes blank as if stunned. Frightened, Han Ruoxue rushed over to support her. “Mother, what’s wrong? Do you feel unwell somewhere?”
Madame Li only just recovered, her expression still stiff. She shook her head. “No...it’s nothing, help pour a cup of warm water for your mother.”
Han Ruoxue hastily poured the water while Madame Li gave a long exhale to calm herself down. She looked at Han Ruoxue’s back with gloomy eyes, mood uncertain as she finally spoke. “How did Han Yunxi find out there was a slow-acting poison?”
“Mu Liuyue didn’t tell me the details, so I didn’t ask,” Han Ruoxue replied.
“How could the young general have been struck with a slow-acting poison? That sort of poison takes time to administer,” Madame Li asked again.
Han Ruoxue turned around. “Mother, that’s what I thought too. There must be someone trying to harm the young general in the general’s estate. It wasn’t convenient for me to ask such things.”
Madame Li nodded, slowly drinking a few sips. “Xue’er, did you gift young Miss Mu the spring tea you brought along today?”
Only then did Han Ruoxue recall this matter and lowered her head. “I...I left in too much of a hurry and forgot.”
Madame Li’s heart clenched as she spoke. “Those tea leaves weren’t cheap, where did you put them?”
“Right by the table. How about I send someone to get them and deliver it directly to the general’s estate?” Han Ruoxue asked again.
“No need,” Madame Li rejected the idea immediately. “Forget it, we can consider it given to someone with the fate to pick it up.”
A resentful Han Ruoxue didn’t dare say anything more despite her mistake.
“I’m weary. I’d like to sleep for awhile, so you can leave,” Madame Li said mildly before leaning lazily against her pillow.
“Mother, should I take your pulse for you?” Han Ruoxue was very considerate, but Madame Li only waved at her to leave. She’d been like this since Han Ruoxue’s youth, so the latter was long used to it.
“Then, rest well,” she poured her mother another cup of water before retreating. As soon as she left, Madame Li sat up, her calm face immediately darkening like black clouds. Even her usual serene gaze had swiftly turned fierce.
“Come out!” she said in a low voice.
At this, a black-robed female guard appeared from behind a nearby screen.
“Immediately go to the Celestial Fragrance plantation and retrieve that item. Additionally, clear out all the snake poison in the wooden shed!” Madame Li ordered.
“Yes! Your subordinate understands,” the black-robed guard obeyed before she left in an instant.
Madame Li sat for a long time, her phoenix eyes narrowing. “Han Yunxi, ah, Han Yunxi, I’ve really underestimated you. You dared to ruin my good plan! Such skill! I definitely won’t let you off!”
Time passed until three days went by.
Only fifteen were left until it was a full month. After leaving things to Mu Qingwu, Han Yunxi hadn’t been idle, either. She didn’t take a step outside the house, but hid in the study of the Leisurely Cloud Pavilion to research the Ten-Thousand Snake Poison. She didn’t have ten different snake venoms on hand, but when she was taking samples beforehand, she’d stored Mu Qingwu’s poison-laced blood into her detoxification system, where it’d naturally disseminated the various toxins before creating copies to fill up her poison storage spaces. Han Yunxi had been researching the method of poisoning for the last few days.
In many cases, the poisoning method was a big hurdle for the poisoner, especially if the poison reacted with other items to weaken its toxicity. Sometimes, there would be color changes or smells, so the best place to hide it was in clear water. On the other hand, there were poisons that couldn’t touch water because they’d be discovered right away. As Han Yunxi saw it, it wasn’t easy to put poison in Mu Qingwu’s water often. Both the water house and fire house (kitchens), along with Mu Qingwu’s servants, had been thoroughly inspected. Nothing unusual had been found.
Unless she made a mistake and the poison wasn’t added to clear water?
According to the records in the detox system, Ten-Thousand Snake Poison could only be added to water to prevent reactions. After it was created, it only had a shelf life of one day before it started changing colors and smell. But the intellectual prowess of the detoxification system was still limited by human ingenuity. Ten-Thousand Snake Poison didn’t exist in modern times, so its description came from ancient records compiled from the distant past.
The detoxification system was a powerful tool when it came to examining poisons and allocating antidotes, surpassing the skills of any human genius. But when it came to manufacturing poisons, the detox system was fairly weak. Perhaps there was a way to hide the Ten-Thousand Snake Poison in some other solution without affecting its toxicity or changing color and smell?
Or perhaps, the poisoner adjusted the Ten-Thousand Snake Poison formula so it wouldn’t change so quickly, and thus found a completely different method to poison the victim? It was a small possibility, because making Ten-Thousand Snake Poison itself was already a challenge. Trying to add improvements to the formula would be even more difficult.
But after so much investigating had yielded no clues, Han Yunxi couldn’t help but carefully consider the possibilities. If the poison wasn’t added to water, then it would be in something Mu Qingwu ate or drank often. Besides his three meals, Han Yunxi quickly thought of another item: tea!
Tianning Country people were all addicted to tea. In the capital, each household had its own store of tea leaves that they drank from day to night.
“Could it be the tea?” Han Yunxi muttered to herself. She was about to summon little Chen Xiang when she remembered that she left her with the Han Family to protect Seventh Young Master. She could only walk out of Hibiscus Courtyard herself and find a young pageboy to get a few kinds of tea leaves for her. And yet as soon as she finished that, she saw a familiar figure in the distance strolling along the covered corridor.
Tall and haughty, imposing and threatening, his steps were graceful and noble. That distant figure seemed to make his surroundings dim in comparison, making it impossible to overlook him. In the quiet afternoon, the sight of such a coldly handsome man walking along the corridor was like an immortal strolling through a painting.
It was him...Long Feiye.
Han Yunxi stared and stared until she inexplicably lost her train of thought. Suddenly, the immortal disappeared from the painting...no, Long Feiye himself suddenly disappeared! Han Yunxi recovered her senses, extremely astonished. Where did he go? She unconsciously took a few steps forward and looked around. But there was no sign of him anywhere.
She only thought that it had been a long time since she saw him. The last time they met was at a teahouse, but she had seen him without him seeing her. She had worried that he’d caught her hiding away the dregs of the decoction in her detox system when she was treating the crown prince. But this guy hadn’t asked her anything up to this day, so maybe he didn’t see anything in the end.
Right now, it was just past noon. He sure is home early.
Actually, Han Yunxi was very clear on when he came back and on which days. Who made it so she could see his lighted rooms from her windows anyways? Where did this guy go when he wasn’t home? Why was he back so early today, and what did he want?
“Weird…” she murmured to herself, before withdrawing her curiosity. That guy had always been like some sort of mysterious dragon, showing his head without ever showing his tail. It wasn’t so unbelievable if he vanished out of the blue. Yet as soon as Han Yunxi made to step forward, a cold voice sounded from behind her.
“Han Yunxi, do you have business with your lordship?”
A frightened Han Yunxi turned back to see the same figure that was before her, now standing behind her. His towering form was like a mountain at her back, exerting a sense of pressure. She took an inadvertent step back to increase the distance between them and keep herself safe. Of course, she couldn’t make heads or tails of him.
“Your Highness, I wasn’t looking for you.”
“Then why were you standing here looking around?” Long Feiye asked. At these words, Han Yunxi felt embarrassed. She’d been discovered? Reluctantly, she lifted her head to meet Long Feiye’s extremely impatient, disdainful look.
“You need something?” he asked.
Just because she looked at him, he thought he was the main event? All right, even if he was, Han Yunxi was going to deny it. Why did he always look at her with those eyes? Could it be that no matter how hard she tried, she’d still be unbearable to him? She never liked proving herself to others, nor did she care about their stares. But Han Yunxi didn’t realize that she was placing more and more importance on this man’s gaze. Right now, she only felt that this was an insult.
The angrier she felt, the more brilliantly she smiled.
With a cocky grin, she said, “Nothing. I think Your Highness has misunderstood. I was looking around for someone else, not Your Highness.” These words turned Long Feiye’s cold eyes three parts colder, almost enough to lower the temperature around them by several degrees.
Hmph, that’ll teach you to be so arrogant.
Han Yunxi ignored the ice in his eyes and continued. “If Your Highness has nothing else, chenqie will go first.” She lifted her chin and turned away elegantly to leave, but Long Feiye opened his mouth to speak.
“Hold it, your lordship still has things to discuss.”
Han Yunxi halted and turned back, still smiling sweetly. “I don’t know what sort of business Your Highness might have with chenqie?”
“I’ll speak inside.” Long Feiye didn’t give her a second glance before turning to leave. Han Yunxi thought he’d go back to his quarters, but he actually started walking towards the Leisurely Cloud Pavilion.
“Something’s really up?” Han Yunxi said doubtfully before hastening to follow.
As soon as Long Feiye entered, he smelled an unpleasant stench. Though he’d never entered a woman’s rooms before, he knew that they should be clean. His eyebrows knitted together as he followed the smell inside to Han Yunxi’s study. There he saw a table covered in reeking bowls of blackish liquid raising up a disgusting stink. Long Feiye’s eyes scanned around the study and saw nothing but filth, mess, and chaos. He had an unhealthy obsession with cleanliness that loathed such disarray. Despite this, he wasn’t sure why he hadn’t left immediately.
Han Yunxi followed him in, surprised to see that he’d gone to the study.

- The energy industry is headed down one common path that will boost the need and popularity of renewable sources.
- Hedge funds know this, and they have quietly built positions around these uranium mining names, which share another common thread.
- Massive upside has earned them the market’s love, and analysts say the math checks out for the coming rallies.
- 5 stocks we like better than Ur-Energy
Just like many investors got around investing in Chinese names, such as Alibaba Group NYSE: BABA, after Ray Dalio got behind it, a wave of money will jump into the industry’s favorite play today: uranium.
Backing names like Cameco Corporation NYSE: CCJ and Ur-Energy Inc. NYSE: URG have tremendous upside.
Suppose you want to dig into energy stocks and their likely path for the next few decades. In that case, there is only one sensible answer: renewables. Out of all the alternatives, solar is getting all the love and attention today, so you could assume hedge funds aren’t looking there.
That leaves another player on the table: nuclear energy. To make nuclear energy available and scalable, an ample supply and processing of uranium can make this happen.
The latest oil swings and geopolitical risks building on top of it have led some to speculate on a $150 price per barrel coming soon. As more minds get behind this idea, they will look for a cheaper alternative.
Because knowing which energy firm will become the leader in nuclear is nothing short of requiring a crystal ball, one constant must shine a light on this hypothetical name: Uranium miners. This is why so much activity has gone into mining stocks around this trend.
Terra Capital, Segra Capital, Argonaut Capital Partners, and Anaconda Invest have one thing in common: They have quietly been building up their momentum and accumulation around the trend described previously, mainly focusing on two winning names.
When you spread out the mining sector, you can easily find it with MarketBeat’s stock screener.
The industry is trading for an average ratio of 11.0x, with an average expected earnings growth rate of 32.5% for next year.
Starting with Cameco, the market rewards the stock with a valuation of 20.8x, which is a premium of 89% over the industry. Now, most value investors would be scared away at the prospect of investing in the most expensive name in the industry; they would be wrong to shun Cameco, though.
This company has analysts expecting an EPS boost of 288.7%, massively above the industry’s expected average. There is a justifiable reason for the market and hedge funds to be willing to overpay for Cameco stock; its growth potential surrounding an unstoppable industry trend makes it a deal any day of the week.
Before you consider Ur-Energy, you’ll want to hear this.
MarketBeat keeps track of Wall Street’s top-rated and best performing research analysts and the stocks they recommend to their clients on a daily basis. MarketBeat has identified the five stocks that top analysts are quietly whispering to their clients to buy now before the broader market catches on… and Ur-Energy wasn’t on the list.
While Ur-Energy currently has a “Buy” rating among analysts, top-rated analysts believe these five stocks are better buys.

Alice Springs flood mitigation
The Northern Territory Government is delivering the Alice Springs flood mitigation project which will reduce flooding impacts in the Alice Springs region.
In June 2017, the Alice Springs Regional Flood Mitigation Advisory Committee released a report that provides recommendations and measures for managing and reducing the flood risk in the Alice Springs region. Read the Final Alice Springs Flood Mitigation Report (2017) .
A contract to survey floor levels for habitable buildings across Alice Springs with the Q100 flood zone has been awarded to Fyfe Pty Ltd.
The purpose of the survey is to understand flooding depths at individual property levels - before and after proposed mitigation measures for impacted properties.
Floor surveys will be undertaken in the:
- Alice Springs CBD
- East Side
- the Gap
- Desert Springs
The data from the survey will help develop the most effective flood mitigation strategies for Alice Springs. It will be available for public comment once flood modelling has been completed.
The following are the estimated project timeline:
- floor level surveying – mid-2020
- flood mitigation concept design – late-2020
- community consultation on preferred concepts – late-2020
To find out more on flood mitigation projects delivered across the Territory, read about flood mitigation.

finally I found a solution. This is how I made it: I took a like in the source file of your SVG dots and saw that you used Sketch. So I downloaded a Trial version, and loaded our pink dots in it. Then I clicked on the image in he Sketch window and it offered to copy the code of the SVG file. Next i pasted that code into my netbeans editor and saved it from there as SVG file. I bet there`s an easier way to export the SVG from Sketch but I could not find it.
but in the end I could create an SVG file with smaller dimensions and the following CSS made it look nice on the borders:
border-image-slice: 33% 22%;
border-width: 0 0 8px 0;
border-image-outset: 11px 5px 10px 4px;

Negligence Law and Arrest - Duty to the Offender
It is in the very nature of an arrest that the arrested suspect is disempowered and not free to go as they choose. This creates a relationship of dependency in which the suspect needs to be cared for and/or protected in certain ways. While in an enforcer’s custody, the suspect’s basic personal needs should be in focus. If the suspect has any real need, the absence of which would be harmful any way, the person holding them in custody has a duty to ensure that harm does not arise through needs remaining unmet or inadequately met for too long. Needs may take the form of food, water, shelter, clothing, medical treatment, emotional support and reassurance, the presence of a support person of any kind, a telephone to call someone, or any other thing necessary to avoid loss or damage. As to specifically what the suspect needs, your best evidence is what they say, and so, their complaints must be heeded.
The duty of care component of the law of negligence provides that we all must take whatever steps we can to avoid loss or harm arising upon others who should realistically be within our contemplation. There are other aspects to this area of law described in the chapter on negligence that will make pertinent reading on this issue. Significantly the standard of care to be expected is dependent on the circumstances of the arrest. A security guard holding a violent patron under arrest at a public event is not expected to exercise the same standard of care that a nurse is over a hospital patient, nor a hotel staff member in a five-star hotel. Nevertheless, ignoring attestations of encroaching hypothermia, doing nothing to control blood loss, or behaving and talking so at the exacerbate psychological distress as to criminal penalties, are actionable.

Tonight's game is either the swan song of a team who exceeded regular season expectations behind James Harden's MVP caliber season -- or -- its a defiant reversal of momentum that currently has the Clippers catapulted towards the Western Conference Finals.
Simply put, it's the end of the line or the start of something special. For the Rockets to stave off elimination and live to fight a game six in Los Angeles here's the trends they're going to have to reverse:
- First Half Defense: The Rockets are surrendering 60 points in the first half of these contests. It's an unacceptable trend that leaves them playing from behind. When the Rockets are playing from behind their offense transitions to a Atkins diet of three point shooting, which has been dismal at best.
- Foul Trouble: There's certainly room for the referees to improve in this series, but the Rockets have to make every effort to keep James Harden and Dwight Howard out of foul trouble. When Dwight Howard goes to the bench the Rockets defense dissolves and DeAndre Jordan turns into an offensive option (paired with Chris Paul) who can only be slowed by hacking, not stopped in the paint.
- Runs: Critics of the NBA generally complain that there's 48 minutes of basketball, but only the final three minutes matter. This adage could easily be applied to the Rockets-Clippers series, with the slight modification that reads "only three minutes of these games matter." In games three and four the Rockets have succumbed to three on-court minutes of total ineptitude exploited by the Clippers offense and superior personnel sets. The Rockets don't have to lead from the opening tip to the end of the game, but they have to put forward a consistent effort that avoids the catastrophic second quarter in game three or third quarter in game four. Simply put, the Rockets have to put themselves in a position to make the final three minutes of the game matter.
- Effort: The Rockets have laid down when they've fallen behind in this series. The Clippers 20 point leads and their three point shooting streaks have come at the same time the referees have donned red and white uniforms. To this point the Rockets response to being dealt that deck of cards has been to fold. If the Rockets keep the current mentality that the deck is stacked against them we're in for another long night.
With a win tonight the Rockets can add a bit of intrigue to a series that has been widely panned to this point. The way this series has gone Rockets fans will know by the third quarter if the team has the fight in it to pull off a victory.
If there was ever a time for a vintage James Harden performance, tonight is the night.

Frozen treats aren’t just for people. Dogs love an icy treat when it’s hot outside. All you need is a food your dog loves and an ice cube tray or treat toy like a Kong. For instance, mix some cooked hamburger crumbles with water and freeze for the perfect treat during a summer cook-out.
Try one of these incredibly easy recipes or create your own. If using a Kong, stuff it with peanut butter, banana, or any other tasty treat and freeze. The treat stays colder longer this way.
Go To The Lake or Beach
Many dogs love playing in water, so why not spend a day at the lake or dog-friendly beach with your dog? If you don’t have a lake nearby, buy a shallow kiddie pool for your dog to splash around in. Take along his favorite ball to play fetch in the water. If you’re using a small wading pool, float some frozen treats in the pool for him to play with and eat.
Go On A Road Trip
If your dog loves to ride in the car, plan a fun road trip for the day or weekend. Visit some fun dog parks, take him through a drive-thru for a tasty treat, and stay in a pet friendly hotel. It’s a fun getaway for both you and your dog this summer. Take along some fragrant Mango Tango Grooming Wipes to keep your dog smelling fresh in the car.
Try A Class
Check with local pet stores and parks to see if there are any dog friendly classes being held. Training classes, doggie yoga, or just fun dog events are all great activities to keep your dog active and socializing over the summer. You can even find some places that offer doggie swimming classes!
Check Out A Movie
Summer is the season for drive-in movies. Some parks even have pet friendly movie nights. Take your dog along for some extra bonding time while seeing a new movie or an old favorite. Some drive-ins even have special doggie areas for a quick potty break.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (WDAF/Tribune/CNN) – A Missouri man who was allegedly plotting a bombing is dead after a shooting incident with the FBI.
Federal authorities said Timothy Watson, 36, was part of a domestic terror investigation because he was preparing an attack on a hospital.
Watson was reportedly upset with the government’s actions toward the spread of coronavirus and was planning a bombing at a Kansas City-area hospital that was providing critical care during the current coronavirus pandemic.
The FBI also said Watson was a potentially violent extremist who was spurred by racist and anti-governmental rhetoric.
According to an FBI press release, Watson “decided to accelerate his plan to use a vehicle-born improvised explosive device in an attempt to cause severe harm and mass casualties.”
Federal agents attempted to arrest Watson when he arrived at a location to get what he believed to be a truck bomb.
Wilson was armed at the time and shots were fired. No one else was injured in the shooting.
“There was a bunch of SUVs, black, and there was people wearing, HAZ-MAT stuff and white outfits and masks and stuff. I had no idea what that was,” said Marty Feuerborn, a business owner who witnessed the FBI response.
An investigation into the matter is being conducted by the FBI’s inspection division.
The Coronavirus pandemic still poses a significant threat

Real Madrid chief Florentino Perez ready to go to court if club are kicked out of Copa del Rey for playing suspended Denis Cheryshev
- Florentino Perez says Real Madrid will fight any sanction imposed
- Denis Cheryshev was due to serve a suspension in the Copa del Rey
- Cheryshev scored Real Madrid's first goal against Cadiz on Wednesday
- The Russian picked up three yellow cards on loan at Villarreal last season
- Perez claims neither the player or the club were notified about suspension
- Cadiz confirmed they have lodged an official complaint which means Real Madrid could be expelled from the competition
President Florentino Perez insists Real Madrid will oppose any sanction dished out for fielding an ineligible player in Wednesday night's Copa del Rey victory against Cadiz.
Denis Cheryshev played and scored in the 3-1 win away at Cadiz but it turned out he should have been serving a one-game suspension last season for picking up three bookings in the competition while on loan at Villarreal.
The Andalusian side have officially complained about it and if precedent is followed, Madrid will be disqualified from the competition.
Florentino Perez made an official announcement on Thursday that Real Madrid will oppose any sanction
Denis Cheryshev was supposed to serve a suspension for Real Madrid's Copa del Rey clash with Cadiz
But Perez insists neither the club or the player were notified about the suspension, claiming that any sanction will be rendered ineffective.
'We received nothing, no note, nothing from the Spanish FA. We'll take this to the appeals, then the Arbitration court.'
'If the player is not notified of his sanction, as article 41 states, then the sanction is not in effect.'
'We have hope that we will win this battle and continue in the Copa del Rey.'
Coach Rafa Benitez and director of institutional relations Emilio Butragueno insisted on Wednesday night that nobody at Real Madrid, nor Cheryshev himself, knew he was supposed to be suspended.
Benitez spoke briefly after the match to confirm this. He said: 'The club knew nothing and nor did Cheryshev. Villarreal hadn't informed us and for this nobody knew anything.

WHO IS CHENDO?
Chendo - Miguel Porlan - famously fell out with Jose Mourinho during his time at the Santiago Bernabeu. Mourinho liked him to put pressure on the fourth official during matches - taking it in turns with the other staff on the Madrid bench - something that Chendo did not think a club like Real Madrid should be doing. He would often approach the fourth official and instead of berating him, just appear to, while actually speaking about other things.
'We found out at half-time and for this, I insist, we substituted him to show our good faith. We played a great game in difficult circumstances. We won and I'm satisfied with the players' work.'
Clubs are able to request a document from the RFEF (Spanish football federation) which informs them of which players are suspended for the upcoming round of games. Cadiz requested this document and knew that Cheryshev was not able to play.
Some Spanish sources say that it is the duty of Real Madrid match day delegate Chendo to ensure players' eligibility, but he did not know Cheryshev was suspended.
Last season Villarreal were sent notice of the suspension, but Madrid say they failed to pass it on to the Russian winger's parent club.
Former Real Madrid captain Manolo Sanchis defended his old team-mate.
He wrote on his social networks: 'Leave Chendo in peace!
'In 18 years in the first team, this has never been the job of the team delegate. For this it's the sporting management.'

RAFA HAS PREVIOUS
This is not the first time Benitez has suffered due to administrative problems in the competition, having seen Valencia disqualified back in 2001 for fielding too many non-EU players.
On that occasion, against Novelda, he brought on a last-minute substitute, Dennis Serban, leaving the side with four foreigners on the pitch.
Valencia were kicked out of the competition on appeal - but they did go on to win La Liga without the extra games to slow them down.
A poll on Marca saw 65.2 per cent of fans blame the club as a whole, with 14.5 per cent singling out Chendo, 13.8 gunning for Rafa Benitez, 4.6 for Cheryshev and just 1.9 saying it wasn't Real Madrid's fault at all.
Chendo played 497 matches for Madrid, eventually retiring in 1998 after spending 16 seasons at the club.
Ever since he has taken the role of match-day delegate and there have been no problems until now.
Butragueno had said: 'The club were not notified about the sanction. We did not receive any form of notification from the Federation or from Villarreal and nor was the player informed about the circumstances.'
Cheryshev was taken off shortly after half-time, with Cadiz alledging he shouldn't have played at all

You come sometimes, when sweet sleep holds me
You break away, when sweet sleep lets me loose;
Gone, like a lamb, at sight of the grey
Sweet, I began to love you
first Came hither with my mother, to pluck leaves Of mountain hyacinth :- I shewed the way ;And then, and afterwards, and to this hour, I could not cease to love you, -you, who care Nothing about my love ;-great Jove, no, nothing !
Fair one, I know why you avoid me thus :
It is because one rugged eyebrow spreads
Across my forehead, solitary and huge,
Shading a single eye :—my nose too presses
Flat tow'rds my lip; and yet, such as I am,
I feed a thousand sheep, and from them drink
Excellent milk; and never want for cheese
In summer, nor in autumn, nor dead winter,
My dairies' are so full. I too know how
To play the pipe, so as no Cyclops can,
Singing, sweet apple mine, of you and me,
Often till midnight; and I keep for you
Eleven fawns with collars round their necks.
Come to me then, for you shall have no less';
And leave the sea to strain on the dull shore.
Much sweeter nights here in my cave with me
You shall enjoy ; for here the laurel grows,
Slim cypresses, brown ivy, and the vine
Sweet-fruited ; and here too is water cold,
A heavenly draught, which from it's pure white
The many-wooded Ætna sends me down.-
Who, with this choice, would live in the salt waves?
And yet, if in your eyes I seem still rougher
Than my own trees, they furnish me with wood,
And fire' is on my hearth, and I could burn
My being rather than be without you,
Or my sole eye, though nothing else is dearer.
Ah me, that I was born a finless body,
And cannot dive to you, and kiss your hand ;
Or if you grudged me that, bring yon white lilies,
Or the young poppy with it's thin red leaves.
And yet not so; for poppies grow in summer,
Lilies in spring; and so I could not, both.
But should a visitor, sweetest, in his ship
Come here to see me, I would learn to swim ;
And then I might find out, what joy there is
In living, as you do, in the dark deeps.
O Galatea, that you would come forth,
And having come, forget, as I do now
Here where I sat me, to go home again!
You should keep flocks with me, and draw the milk,
And press the cheese from the sharp-tasted curd.
It is my mother that's to blame.
She never Tells you one kind endearing thing of me, Though you might see me wasting, day by day. My very head and my two feet, for wretchedness, Throb ;-—and so let them, for I too am wretched. O Cyclops, Cyclops, where are thy poor senses ! Go, make thee pails for milk, and pluck their food For the young lambs ;—'twere wiser for thee far Milk where thou canst. Why hunt for what is fled ? Perhaps thou'lt find another Galatea, Another and a lovelier; for at night Many girls call to me to come and sport, And when I listen to them, they all giggle: So that ev'n I seem something in the world.
'Twas thus the Cyclops quieted his love
With pipe and song; and passed an easier life,
Than if he had had gold to give for one.
You came at last, dear girl, yes, came at last, After three nights and morns; and know you not, That those who love, grow old with a day's waiting?
Dearest; as much as spring's more sweet than winter,
Apples than damsons, or the fleecy ewe
Completer than her lamb, or the clear virgin
Attracts us more than the thrice-married woman,
Or the trim fawn is nimbler than the calf,
Or the sweet potent nightingale outsings

About the Meditation Podcast
Meditation session led by Kimberly Brown.
The guided meditation begins at 14:45.
For centuries Himalayan practitioners have used meditation to quiet the mind, open the heart, calm the nervous system, and increase focus. Now Western scientists, business leaders, and the secular world have embraced meditation as a vital tool for brain health.
Whether you’re a beginner, a dabbler, or a skilled meditator seeking the company of others, join expert teachers in a forty-five-minute weekly program designed to fit into your lunch break. Each session will be inspired by a different work of art from the Rubin Museum’s collection and will include an opening talk, a twenty-minute meditation session, and a closing discussion.
This program is supported in part by the Hemera Foundation with thanks to our presenting partners Sharon Salzberg, the Interdependence Project, and Parabola Magazine.
According to Buddhist belief, at the moment of death we have an opportunity to attain an enlightened state of mind. But our own karma brings up various visions, including terrifying ones. If we do not recognize them as projections of our own mind, we cannot reach the enlightened state or a good rebirth. This painting depicts the deities described in a 14th-century text, “The Peaceful and Wrathful Deities: The Profound Teachings of Self-Liberated Wisdom Mind,” as well as the famous “Liberation upon Hearing in the Intermediate State.” The teachings of this text allow practitioners to prepare and train their minds for this future eventuality. Often ritual specialists read these instructions to the deceased as the means of guiding them through the difficult process of transitioning to a future existence.

This morning’s Observer column:
Way back in March, at the beginning of the first lockdown, I fell to wondering what a columnist, academic and blogger under house arrest might usefully do for the duration of his imprisonment. My eye fell on my blog, Memex 1.1, which has been a harmless presence on the web since the mid-1990s and a source of puzzlement to journalistic and academic colleagues alike. The hacks unanimously shared Dr Johnson’s view that “No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money”, while my academic colleagues thought it peculiar to waste one’s energy writing anything that would not figure in scholarly citation indices. The idea that one might maintain a blog simply because one enjoyed doing it never crossed their minds.
So there it was, with a modest readership, which occasionally spiked as it caught some brief wave of attention. Given that many people were going to be locked down like me, I wondered if the regularity of receiving the blog as an email every morning might be welcome. The thought came from observing how Dave Winer’s wonderful blog, Scripting News, drew an even wider readership after he offered it as a daily email to subscribers. So I began looking for an easy way of doing something similar.
The obvious solution would be an email list service like Mailchimp, but that looked like hard work, so I opted for Substack, which made it really easy. My blog would be published and available on the web every day as usual, but every night the day’s version would be neatly packaged into an email and delivered at 7am the following morning to anyone who had subscribed. The only change I made was to include a daily five-minute audio diary – something I’d never done before.
It was such an obvious thing to do. But the results were surprising – and often gratifying…

I recall the first time I set foot in a college of martial arts back in the early Eighties. We congratulate the winners and thank all entrants for supporting the Ravensthorpe Regional Arts Council. People from all walks of life study martial arts for stress aid – cashiers, doctors, academics, even legal professionals. Blessed be the LORD my power, which teacheth my arms to war, and my fingers to fight:” The Eastern martial arts do not assume so.
Ways to help make crafts for seniors fun and quick are: have all of the supplies needed for the undertaking ready, have time consuming, preliminary steps completed earlier than the session begins, be sure you have loads of house to maneuver around comfortably, have further volunteers to help if needed, and allot loads of time to do the challenge, or plan on more than one session to finish it. Above all, exhibit patience, the seniors will love you.
The arts have a critical half to play in civic society, however unless we think about life past our own slender confines, what hope have we received to bring about social change and even encourage desirous about global well being and the factors that underpin inequalities. Tokyo University of the Arts The artwork college gives graduate levels in Painting (Japanese and Oil), Sculpture, Crafts, Design, Architecture, Intermedia Art, Aesthetics and Art History. I suppose the youngsters will love making this cross, and it’s beautiful enough to be framed.
Provide excessive visibility green neighborhood arts initiatives via permaculture murals and interdisciplinary public works initiatives. First Night is all about the arts, so it is a perfect alternative for youngsters to take part in New Year crafts and yr-end social gathering enjoyable. This is a superb subject for you to cowl as I do not think we hear an excessive amount of about Lenten initiatives or crafts. I decided to make cupcakes for my daughter’s Arts and Crafts Crayon party.I adorned the cupcakes with icing tinted crimson, blue, green and orange. This year at the 5th Annual Sherburne Arts Festival we’re working exhausting to convey fascinating food to Gaines Park to make the festival even more enjoyable and inviting. The children may want somewhat assist, however they can also make this Halloween witch ornament by following the tutorial at Craft Klatch.
Over the previous 7-months, OutsiderXchanges, a visible arts venture primarily based on collaboration, reciprocal studying and creative exchange has introduced collectively six studying disabled artists and six up to date visible artists in a single studio area. I recommend each grownup to hunt out a good martial arts college and notice the constructive positive aspects for themselves. I would like to recommend tae kwon do as among the finest martial arts coaching program for young ladies. It also recognizes that Dr. Young relied on some formalities he realized in some Korean martial arts to formulate his American artwork.

Growers on alert as moth pest detected in Australia
GROWERS are being urged to be on alert as the invasive moth pest fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) has arrived in Australia.
This comes after several detections have been made in far north Queensland, including South Johnstone, Tolga and Lakeland.
GRDC managing director Dr Steve Jefferies said all growers were urged to keep an eye on their crops for signs of fall armyworm incursions.
“Fall armyworm is a highly destructive pest, the larvae are known to feed on more than 350 plant species and they’ve caused significant economic losses overseas,” he said.
The adult moths are highly mobile and quite capable of travelling large distances quickly.
Their migration rate is remarkably fast, estimated at almost 500 kilometres per generation.
“This new fall armyworm incursion has the potential to severely damage grain crops and hit grower profitability,” Dr Jefferies said.
Dr Jefferies said the main control measure available to Australian growers was insecticides.
South Burnett Regional Council’s community general manager Peter O’May said there had been no detections in the South Burnett, despite an increase in moths across the region.
“The main impact of fall armyworm is crop damage and loss,” he said.
“Recent detections in the Torres Strait and Bamaga, with no detections in the South Burnett to date.”
Biosecurity Queensland chief biosecurity officer Malcolm Letts said a surveillance program for fall armyworms would be expanded as more traps become available.
“It is important we continue to monitor and track the spread of this pest in Queensland, so we can alert growers when they may expect to start seeing some damage to crops,” he said.
Mr Letts said the national technical committee that oversaw the management of plant pest and disease incursions had determined that it was not technically feasible to eradicate this pest from Australia.
“Managing the impacts of fall armyworm is the priority for the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries,” he said.
Fall armyworm larvae are light coloured with a larger darker head.
“As they develop, they become browner with white lengthwise stripes and also develop dark spots with spines,” Mr Letts said.
Adult moths are 32 to 40mm in length, wing tip to wing tip, with a brown or grey forewing and a white hind wing.
Male fall armyworm adults have more patters and a distinct white spot on each of their forewings.
If anyone suspects they have fall armyworm on their crop they need to contact DAF on 13 25 23.

How long can you cook chili for?
The Best Way to Cook Chili:
The low and slow cooking process melds the flavors of the chili seasoning into every bite and the beef becomes so tender, juicy, and irresistible. You can slow cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours.
Can you cook chilli too long?
Can you cook chili too long? Because it is possible to overcook chili, it is imperative to keep an eye on the simmer time, as well as the ingredients. Overcooking chili can cause the tomatoes to turn into a sauce and the beans to become burnt. This can affect the overall consistency and taste of the chili.
Can you cook chili on low all day?
Chili can be cooked overnight, using a slow cooker for up to 8 hours. Set the slow cooker on low temperature and keep track of the cooking time. Any longer than 8 hours and the beef and beans break down and become overcooked. The key here is you don’t want to overdo it.
Can you cook chili for 12 hours?
Cook overnight in the oven for 10 – 12 hours. At this low temperature it will cook very slowly, letting the flavors blend together and tenderize the meat. Check the chili in the morning to see if it is the consistency you would like. Adjust the salt and pepper as needed.
Is it safe to cook chili overnight?
Chili is one of those foods that taste better the longer it cooks. Chili can be cooked overnight, using a slow cooker for up to 8 hours. Set the slow cooker on low temperature and keep track of the cooking time. Any longer than 8 hours and the beef and beans break down and become overcooked.
Can you leave chili on the stove overnight?
Chili is a perishable food and should never be consumed after being left out all night. Even if chili left out for a long period still smells fine, leaving it in the temperature danger zone for over two hours allows bacteria to grow to levels that can make you quite ill.
How long can I leave chili on the stove?
If you keep chili hot on the stove or in a slow cooker, you can let it sit out for up to six hours. The heat will prevent any bacterial growth. The challenge you’ll have is keeping it warm enough to destroy bacteria without drying it out or burning it.
How long can you leave chili in a crockpot on warm?
Don’t leave it on ‘warm’ all day
Most appliances will automatically shut off after 20 or so hours on this setting, but you shouldn’t leave food in a slow cooker for an extended length of time. The general rule of thumb is that two to four hours is the maximum length of time you can leave food in a slow cooker on warm.
Should I cover chili when simmering?
Cook Your Chili Uncovered
If you want to keep things simple, take the lid off the pot. Simmer chili uncovered for 20-30 minutes to help reduce the liquid and encourage the mixture to thicken up.
Can you slow cook chili 10 hours?
This crockpot chili recipe literally goes together in about 10 minutes, just throw everything into the slow cooker and don’t think about it again for another 4-10 hours. Yes, 4-10 HOURS. This is the beauty of this recipe, it can keep on cooking for 10 hours and it’s fine.
Is chili better the next day?
Recipes like soups and stews (especially ones that are heavily spiced and made with a lot of ingredients, such as chili) almost always taste better the next day. … And if you can’t wait an entire day to eat a bowl of chili, rest assured that any leftovers you might have will taste even better the next day.
Can you leave food in slow cooker overnight?
The short answer is yes. It’s completely safe to cook food in a slow cooker overnight. This is actually a great option when it comes to meal-prepping for the night before. You can put your slow cooker on either low or high overnight, and everything should be entirely safe.
