Origin & Breeding History: 'CIDZ0002' originated from a controlled cross-pollination conducted in November 1999, in Salinas, California, USA, as part of a controlled breeding program of Syngenta Flowers, Inc. The cross involved a proprietary line designated 'YB-6132' as the female parent, and a proprietary line designated 'YB-6606' as the male parent. The resultant seed was sown in a greenhouse in July 2000. 'CIDZ0002' was selected as a single plant from the progeny in November 2000 by the breeder, Wendy R. Bergman, in Alva, Florida, USA, based on its flower colour, plant growth habit, and production characteristics.
Tests & Trials: The trial for 'CIDZ0002' was conducted in the fall of 2012 at Meyers Fruit Farm in Niagara on the Lake, Ontario. Flowering trials were conducted under greenhouse conditions similar to those used in commercial Chrysanthemum production. 50 unrooted cuttings were stuck into 15 cm pots on August 18, 2012. There were 5 cuttings per pot and the pots were spaced 30 cm apart. The plants were pinched once prior to short day treatment. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants, or parts of plants, of the candidate variety and 9 plants, or parts of plants, of the reference variety on November 14, 2012. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.

Aims and objectivesTo explore and evaluate perioperative nurses’ experience of organ procurement.BackgroundOrgan procurement is part of the organ donation process, and is typically performed in the perioperative setting. This experience may contribute to perioperative nurses’ feelings of distress and negative attitudes towards organ donation.DesignSystematic review of the literature.MethodPrimary research studies, published in the English language between 1990–2014 were identified, screened and appraised using Joanna Briggs Institute appraisal tools. Data extraction and analysis followed.ResultsThe quality assessment resulted in seven qualitative and three quantitative research studies. The main findings were: (1) Perioperative nurses reported feeling emotionally distressed, challenged, lonely and physically drained throughout the entire organ procurement procedure. (2) Perioperative nurses reported finding their own unique self‐coping strategies and ways of eliciting support. (3) Perioperative nurses had positive and negative attitudes towards organ donation.ConclusionPerioperative nurses reported feelings of sadness, feeling challenged and physically drained through the entire organ procurement procedure, which were influenced by differing factors in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative stages. It is acknowledged that personal coping strategies and support are important to help perioperative nurses improve their psychological well‐being, and their experiences and attitudes towards organ procurement and donation. The meaningfulness of these findings for practice policy and research is described.Relevance to clinical practicePerioperative nurses play a vital role in the organ procurement procedure and require ongoing support to ensure their psychological welfare, in particular, newly qualified or inexperienced nurses’ participating in organ procurement.

This week’s topic on The Book Chat is your favorite historical era or war themed book. The first two books (and eagerly awaited third) of The Century Trilogy are my favorite war themed works of historical fiction.
The books follow the stories from different families all over the world, (England both upper and lower class, American, Russian, German, etc.) throughout World War I & II.
I quickly became attached to the characters and interested to see where the story took their paths. Follett does an amazing job of portraying how the wars had some sort of effect on everyone, no matter where they came from.
The books jump to different stories about the varied characters and families. I normally dislike this and start getting confused, but Follet seamlessly transitions the reader and has everything tie together in the end.
Follet also paints a great picture of this particular historical era. He addresses the political, social, economical and psychological climate of the times and gives the reader a great perspective of what it may have been like to live through such a volatile era.
I am a huge fan of historical fiction and character development. These books are packed with both and I am definitely eager to get my hands on the last installment
Do you have a favorite war themed or historical era book?

When Beyonce handpicked 23-year-old photographer Tyler Mitchell to shoot the cover images and accompanying spread, after being given unprecedented creative control over her September 2018 Vogue Cover edition, instantly, a moment of history was created.
This is the first time in Vogue ‘s 126 years history that a cover was shot by a black photographer. And for Mitchell, he has quickly become a “one to watch” rising artist, not just because he is young or good, but because of his unique approach to his art. As he described it to The New York Times in 2017, Tyler said he “depicts black people and people of colour in a really real and pure way”. He also added. “There is an honest gaze to my photos”
Tyler is a young photographer and filmmaker from Atlanta, Georgia. He is a graduate from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, finishing in September 2017. Less than a year since he finished school, his resume includes work for Marc Jacobs, American Eagle, i-D, The Fader, and the Teen Vogue spread that featured students who survived the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February 2018.
Despite his rising reputation, Mitchell doesn’t think of himself as a “fashion photographer.” According to information on his website, he started off making skate videos, and that attention to youth culture led him to photograph other rising stars like Jaden Smith and Amandla Stenberg.
On why she chose him for the shoot, Beyonce said in the interview that “Until there is a mosaic of perspectives coming from different ethnicities behind the lens, we will continue to have a narrow approach and view of what the world actually looks like. That is why I wanted to work with this brilliant 23-year-old photographer Tyler Mitchell.”
Mitchell saved up to buy his first camera—a Digital SLR Canon while he was in ninth grade, with the help of some of his skater friends in Marietta, the Atlanta suburb where he grew up. Drawing inspiration from the dreamy aesthetic of Spike Jonze’s early skate videos, Tyler set about teaching himself to make his own videos, with the help of online tutorials. “I’m definitely a YouTube-generation kid,” says Mitchell. “I learned how to make movies and how to edit that way. I quickly formed my point of view.”
Being the first African American photographer to shoot the cover of Vogue in its 126-year history, is a fact that is not lost on the young photographer. “For so long, black people have been considered things,” he adds. “We’ve been thingified physically, sexually, emotionally. With my work, I’m looking to revitalize and elevate the black body.” he concludes.

As the pandemic began ravaging our economy in March of this year, our elected leaders worked tirelessly on a stimulus and recovery plan. Ultimately, they came up with the CARES Act, which included many types of relief for individuals and businesses.
Mini-Series or Movie: “The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story” (FX)
一部富有感染力的、描写一名年轻黑人男同性恋成长故事的影片《月光男孩》(Moonlight)，获得2017年奥斯卡(Oscar)最佳影片奖。不过，该片险些与此奖项擦肩而过，原因是在混乱的颁奖现场，此奖项曾被误颁给了《爱乐之城》(La La Land)。
As E.E. Cummings rightly said, "To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting."
CARES Act 401(k) Loan and Withdrawal Changes
Some of them still give high return to their shareholders. China Merchants Bank is generous; its dividend reached 30.16% of its net profits. — from $50,000 to $100,000 or 100% of a participant’s vested account balance, whichever is lower. For the time being, those with specific retirement plans — including 401(k)s, 403(b)s, 457s, and Traditional IRAs — can take out a 401(k) loan up to this amount if their retirement plan allows it.
Also featured in the 2013 top 10 were Singapore, Zurich, Paris, the Venezuelan capital of Caracas and Geneva.
No. This crisis hit Amsterdam in 1772, after a respected Dutch investment syndicate made a disastrous bet on shares of the British East India Company.
What does this mean, exactly? While many people who need this money to avoid a financial disaster can take advantage, the rules created by the CARES Act also make it so those who can meet specific requirements set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) can take out their retirement money penalty-free in order to build a pool in their backyard, buy a pontoon, or splurge for a huge RV that lets them “glamp” in style.
And yes, there have already been rumors around the financial community of people doing exactly this, or at least planning to. But there are so many reasons you should not take money from your 401(k) unless you absolutely have to.
You Have to Qualify
For starters, you should know about the specific COVID-related requirements you need to meet to remove money from your 401(k) plan before retirement age without a penalty. While the 一线城市需求依旧很强 京沪房价永远有涨的风险, the rules relating the CARES Act changes are totally different.
According to the 自如表示稳租金将成常态 九城续约房源租金平均涨幅不超过5%, you, your spouse, or your dependent must have been diagnosed with COVID-19 to qualify. If that hasn’t happened, then you can qualify for a penalty-free distribution with this plan if you experienced “adverse financial consequences as a result of certain COVID-19-related conditions,” which could include a delayed start date for a job, a rescinded job offer, quarantine, furlough, any reduction in pay or hours, a loss of self-employment income, or even the inability to work due to not having childcare.
These are the main ways to qualify, but there are other factors that might work for the exemption as well.
You’ll Face a Huge Tax Bill
The money in your 401(k) plan and other tax-advantaged retirement plans was put in on a pre-tax basis, meaning you haven’t paid income taxes on it. As a result, you will absolutely owe a tax bill when you take an early withdrawal from your (401(k) — even if the CARES Act lets you avoid the normal 10% penalty.
Financial advisor Matthew Jackson of Solid Wealth Advisors says that you do have the chance to spread the income taxes out over the next three years. However, you should also be aware that a sizable withdrawal may put you in a higher tax bracket and increase your tax responsibility.
China’s bid to close its own Asia-Pac deal
“Ignoring the loss of future income and compound interest, the taxes alone on any withdrawal makes the item you are purchasing that much more expensive,” said financial advisor Tony Liddle. “Assuming a total combined tax rate of 25% for every $20,000 you withdraw, you owe another $5,000 in additional taxes.”
"We felt very helpless that people thought that the fog and haze were caused by poor-quality oil produced by us." FU CHENGYU, member of the CPPCC National Committee and chairman of Sinopec
Learn to tweet. Your boss expects it
You Will Lose Ridiculous Amounts of Money
Financial advisor Chris Struckhoff of Lionheart Capital Management points out another dangerous detail you should be aware of — the loss of compound interest you’ll face on the money you take out.
Here’s a good example. Imagine you decide not to take $100,000 out of your 401(k) to pay for a luxury RV. Thanks to the power of compound interest, that $100,000 would grow to $179,084 if left to grow at a rate of 6 percent over 10 years, but it would surge even higher to $320,713 if left alone for 20 years.
Christmas arrived on schedule for the U.S. auto industry as a spurt of sales put the wrapping on a surprisingly successful year. Analysts predicted that sales in December could hit a seasonally-adjusted rate of 17 million, which would be the first month at that rate in nearly six years. That would push 2013 sales up to a robust 15.7 million units.
Even for an industry that generally views history as a grab bag of potential inspiration to be dipped into and mixed and matched at will, this has been extreme.
In 2016, we've seen a whole lot of new gadgets join the Internet of Things (unfortunately, we've also seen them harnessed by hackers to bring downhuge swaths of the internet). From appliances to clothing, companies really want to sell you the tech that'll make your life "smarter," but sometimes it just makes it slower and dumber. Let's look back on some of the most ridiculous and useless internet-connected gadgets that were produced in the past 12 months.
Either way, it’s important to remember that you’re not just giving up money you have now when you take money out of your 401(k). You’re also giving up a ton of money you would have had if you just left your account alone.
You’ll Also Raise Your Expenses
The January-to-November period in the United States this year was the warmest first 11 months of any year on record for the contiguous states. And 2012 will likely surpass 1998 as the warmest year on record for the nation, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
“Buying the splurge item isn't just about the fun usage,” says financial advisor Thatcher Taylor of Taylor Financial. “It is about all of the additional costs that come with it.”
Best film and best director. Surprisingly, Nolan has never received a directing nomination from the Academy.
Now 12 games into the quadrennial tournament, the World Cup is averaging 3.42 goals per game. Nigeria-Iran promises to bring that average down, but as long there is at least one goal in that game or the United States-Ghana match, the World Cup will head into its sixth day averaging at least 3.0 goals per game. The last time a World Cup averaged that many goals for an entire tournament was 1958 when Pele burst onto the scene and the 12 teams combined to average 3.60 over just 35 total matches.
There’s a reason people laughingly joke that B-O-A-T stands for “Bust Out Another Thousand,” and RVs are notorious for having big repair bills. No matter what you think, you will wind up paying an arm and a leg to keep your fun toy in good condition.
US president Donald Trump’s zero-sum, Art-of-the-Deal approach to negotiation will give comfort to old-fashioned incumbents. I am hoping 2018 will provide an opportunity for positive, problem-solving new leaders to emerge. But change could stall if business chiefs, disheartened by the poor quality of political leadership, turn inwards instead.
The Bottom Line: Leave Your Retirement Money Alone

节目31 京剧《迎来春色换人间》，于魁智 托马斯（孔子学院学员）
As financial advisor Taylor Schulte of the 家居品牌门店求发展 纷纷设置体验馆 points out, the math is simply not in your favor if you withdraw from your 401(k).
Employment is the foundation of economic development. It creates wealth and it is the major source of household income.

BIOSYNTHESIS OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES USING Saccharomyces boulardii AND STUDY THEIR BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES
Fatima H. Sahib*, Nawfal H. Aldujaili and Mohammed M. Alrufae
Objective: The objective of the present study is the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using probiotic, Saccharomyces boulardii and evaluating their biomedical activity. The biological method of nanoparticles synthesis acquires very important area due to their cost-effective and eco-friendly benefits over chemical and physical methods of synthesis. Methods: AgNPs were biosynthesized by adding silver nitrate (AgNO3) into cell free supernatant of S.boulardii at concentration (10 mM). Results: The PCR was accomplished to molecular identification of S.boulardii using specific primers for (CAG) microsatellite repeat at locus YLR177w, foreword primer (Boul 3) and reverse primer (Boul 4). Biosynthesis of AgNPs was firstly indicated by the colour alteration of reaction mixture from yellow into reddish brown. The characterization completed by XRD, SEM, EDS and AFM. The XRD presented the size of AgNPs was 19nm.The SEM was offered the shape was spherical and homogenous and the size was ranged between 63-100nm. The occurrence of elemental silver was analysed by EDS. The AFM displayed the three dimensional structure of silver nanoparticles and the average diameter was 97.44 nm. Biosynthesized AgNPs showed antibacterial activity against multidrug resistant bacteria(MDR) of both gram positive and gram negative bacteria (S.aureus, S.pyogenes, E.coli, K.pneumoniae, E.aerogens, S.typhi, A.baumannii, P.auroginosa and P.mirabilis). All tested bacterial isolates revealed their ability to form biofilm in the form of biofilm using tube and Congo red method without treated by the nanoparticles except P.mirabils, A.boumanii and E.aerogenes,but when treated with AgNPs this ability was prevented and removed in K.pneumoniae, Ps.auroginosa and C.neoformans. The AgNPs at two concentration 1mg/ml and 2mg/ml bared their antioxidant capacity in vitro by scavenging DPPH free radicles, the largest inhibition titer found in the mixture of DPPH with biogenic AgNPs and supernatant of S.boulardii at concentration 2mg/ml (87.43).
Keywords: Biosynthesis AgNPs, S.boulardii, Antibiofilm, Antimicrobial, Antioxidant Activity.

Ugandan Andrew Wanzonele has raised £180 for Hospice.
Mr Wanzonele, aged 27, has spent the last year on the island as part of a Scripture Union Ministries Trust mission.
He raised the money by completing the Parish Walk in June.
He was also raising money for medical treatment for his step-mother who is HIV positive in Uganda.
Mr Wanzonele is pictured presenting the cheque to Terri Cook of Hospice’s fundraising team.
He has been staying on the island with David and Christine Roberts, of Douglas.
They are both keen supporters of Hospice so he felt it only right to give some funds to the local charity.
He completed the 85-mile event in 41st place in a time of 19 hours, 15 minutes and 54 seconds. His training only involved four ‘small walks’ prior to the event.
Terri thanked Mr Wanzonele for his support of the local charity and congratulated on his endeavours for his step-mum.

They said the hospital convinced them that the patient needed to undergo a new and expensive heart valve procedure, claiming it was "200 per cent safe".
"My mother-in-law Manju Bafna died a fortnight ago after being discharged from the hospital while still in coma," said Sanjay Bharkatia.
The family then lodged a complaint with the Council as the "unprofessional attitude and gross medical negligence" on part of hospital cost her life, he said.
Doctors at the hospital had assured the family members that it would be "200 per cent safe" for the patient to undergo the newly-introduced the Transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedure, he said.
"They told me that my mother-in-law would be able to go home within five-six days after the surgery which was performed on October 25. She was forced to leave on December 19 while still in a comatose condition," he said.
She died on December 19 immediately after she was discharged from the hospital, he said.
Bafna, whose heart valve had been replaced earlier, was hospitalised after she developed breathlessness, he said.
The hospital asked the family to pay the bill of Rs 44 lakh, he said, adding the hospital returned Rs 11 lakh after the family pointed "lapses" in her treatment.
Action should be taken against the hospital doctors and staff for ethical and professional misconduct, he said.
The hospital hasn't come out with a statement yet.

Violet and Finn were “meant to be,” said everyone, always. They ended up together by the hands of fate aligning things just so. Three years into their marriage, they have a wonderful little boy, and as the three of them embark on their first vacation as a family, Violet can’t help thinking that she can’t believe her luck. Life is good.
So no one is more surprised than she when Finn leaves her at the beach—just packs up the hotel room and disappears. And takes their son with him. Violet is suddenly in her own worst nightmare, and faced with the knowledge that the man she’s shared her life with, she never really knew at all.
Caitlin and Finn have been best friends since way back when, but when Finn shows up on Caitlin’s doorstep with the son he’s wanted for kidnapping, demands that she hide them from the authorities, and threatens to reveal a secret that could destroy her own family if she doesn’t, Caitlin faces an impossible choice.
As the suspenseful events unfold through alternating viewpoints of Violet, Finn and Caitlin, Jessica Strawser's Almost Missed You is a page turning story of a mother’s love, a husband’s betrayal, connections that maybe should have been missed, secrets that perhaps shouldn’t have been kept, and spaces between what’s meant to be and what might have been.

About the Author
Conversation Starters from ReadingGroupChoices.com
1. We seem to put a lot of emphasis on the stories of how couples meet—husbands and wives find themselves fielding this question even after they’ve been together for most of their lives. Why do you think that is?
2. At pivotal moments, Violet and Finn think similar thoughts, but in different contexts. In Chapters 1 and 13, they separately reflect on their odds of getting together, and express that they can’t believe their luck. In Chapters 17 and 18, both feel that they have “never been so sure”—and “never been so wrong.” How do these echoes serve to highlight how well matched and/ or mismatched they are?
3. Caitlin and Finn have, by most accounts, a platonic friendship—something many people consider rare or even impossible. In what ways is their relationship meaningful? In what ways is it unhealthy? Do you think there may have been more to it than was ever revealed on the page?
4. Do you sympathize with Caitlin’s position, as the story unfolds, or do you find her behavior inexcusable under any circumstances?
5. In what ways is Violet complacent in the events leading up to Finn’s ultimate disappearance with Bear? Do you feel she isn’t complacent at all?
6. Violet and Finn are both orphans by the time they meet. How does that affect their emotional attachments, separately and together?
7. Gram is the only one remaining at Violet’s side as certain hard truths come to light, and she serves as both a sounding board and a mirror. Do you find her assessments of Violet accurate? How is Gram right about her, and how might she be wrong?
8. Finn cannot accept the forgiveness of Maribel’s family because he cannot forgive himself. Can you relate to this point of view? Do you think he ultimately would have been any better off if he’d kept in contact with the Bransons?
9. Do you imagine that if Finn had never met Maribel, he and Violet would have had a happily-ever-after relationship?
10. Caitlin seems sure that Maribel was not “the one” for Finn, but one of multiple suitable matches. Violet seemed equally sure that Finn was “the one” for her— until she wasn’t. Do you think the concept of “the one” is hopeful, or damaging? Do you believe in an “only and forever” kind of love?
11. Did George ultimately surprise you, or were his reactions in some ways inevitable?
12. Do you think Caitlin and George get off too easily, or do you imagine they privately pay a higher price than others may be aware of?
13. What was the true role of fate in the story? Were there pivotal “almost” moments and near-misses that you didn’t fully absorb the impact of until they’d passed?
14. What do you make of the novel’s final encounter? What do you imagine the future holds for this family?
15. In our own missed connections, are we better off not knowing what might have been?

dipped toward a silver belt buckle, emphasizing narrow hips and long legs.
Eyes fastened on the man’s broad back, sexual heat blossoming in the pit of his stomach, Gabriel followed his easy progress through the crush.
Hungrily, he watched as the man reached the far wall. And then his quarry paused as if somehow aware of Gabriel’s regard. The man turned Gabriel’s way. Their gazes locked.
The heat in Gabriel’s belly coalesced into an electric sizzle that sent sparks shooting to his groin. He felt unable to look away as a wide, square hand reached up to rake thick, black hair out of the stranger’s eyes. That grave dark stare never wavered from his own.
The man raised an eyebrow. Just one elegant brow. The faintest smile touched his mouth. Heat flushed Gabriel’s face, but he didn’t look away—couldn’t.
Still waiting for Gabriel’s response, the man ran a blunt thumb slowly, consideringly over his full bottom lip.
And just like that Gabriel was rock-hard and aching for it. Well, hell. It had been a very long time. Too long.
A slender youth wiggled off the dance floor and tugged at the stranger’s arm, forcing the man to break eye contact. Gabriel felt a surge of irritation. He watched the tall man talk to the insistent dancer, watched the shadow play of long eyelashes, the tug and tease of full sensual lips, a silent pantomime to Gabriel’s hungry eyes. Gabriel was adept at lip-reading, but in that bad light he could only catch enough to know the man was indulgent, amused by whatever the boy was offering.
Sighing, Gabriel turned back to face the bar, ordering another beer. The bartender provided it with a sympathetic smile, and Gabriel downed it in one long series of swallows, washing away the sizzle in his stomach, leaving only a faint queasiness behind.
If Tall, Dark, and Direct was up for a quickie with a pretty twink, he wasn’t likely to be interested in going another round with a guy ten years older.
Gabriel checked his watch. Just where the fuck was Benny? He ought to know Gabriel couldn’t afford to wait around here all night. He did know.
He risked another look across the room. The twink was near the dance floor talking animatedly with a squat Hispanic with a pockmarked face. There was something vaguely familiar about that ugly face, but Gabriel was unable to place him. He gave it up and looked back at the tall, sexy stranger.
He had vanished.
Gabriel scanned the room again. No. No sign of the man.
The disappointment he felt was out of proportion to…well, to anything. Even the twink had taken rejection with better grace.
This time he ordered tequila. Picking up the wedge of lime, he licked the curve between his thumb and index finger, flicked his wet skin with salt from the shaker, licked it, tossed back the tequila and bit into the lime.
Giving his head a quick shake, he pushed off from the bar. He’d have one last look for Benny, and then he was gone. The night was fucked—in every way but the one that counted.
Gabriel had already passed the roped-off staircase to the second floor with its curtained alcove balconies once when he decided to scope out the upstairs. After a quick check that no one was watching, he went up the steps two at a time. He wasn’t looking for Benny by now—the snitch would have shown if he was coming—but the tequila was singing through Gabriel’s system; he felt restless, strung out, and jacked up. He needed action, needed the night not to be another dead end, another waste of time—time being something he increasingly felt he was running out of.
He reached the second level unchallenged. It seemed to be deserted, the club’s other patrons more respectful of the velvet rope at the foot of the staircase. Gabriel made his way warily down the row of curtained cubicles. While the thudding bass of the music below concealed his footsteps, it also made it impossible to hear anyone else.
Down the hallway, a partially opened door led into what appeared to be a private office. And all at once the night was looking much brighter. Why the hell not? Why not take advantage of this unexpected opportunity to gather information about who exactly was backing Club Madrone?
In two steps he was in the doorway, brushing his knuckles against the wood. “Anyone home?” he asked softly.
Gabriel slipped inside the room. He eased the door soundlessly shut behind him and felt for the wall switch. Light came on overhead revealing a minibar in one corner, a red velvet couch in another, and a heavy, antique desk. On the desk sat a computer. Gabriel considered it, grimly hoping that its secrets would prove more interesting than an inventory of glassware and booze receipts.
The office smelled of recent sex and marijuana, and his body reacted to the scents—and the risk he was taking—his heart pounding in crazy time with the salsa rhythms insinuating their way through the floorboards.
Christ. Maybe it was true what they said about him. Maybe he was an adrenaline junkie.
When a couple moments passed and nothing insidious or dangerous presented itself, Gabriel stepped further into the room and got a better look at two large oil paintings hanging behind the desk. They looked original, reminding him subtly of the Kahlo-style nude downstairs, but these felt more…authentic.
Here the artist had copied no one, and the result was stunning.
For a moment even his cop’s instinct took a backseat while his eyes feasted on the primitive colors and bold strokes. The paintings, companion pieces, vividly depicted sensuous couplings: two men and a woman, two women and a man. He’d never seen anything like them: the brilliant, rich hues of tawny skin and glossy hair, the way the men smiled knowingly at each other, hands brushing bodies in tender caress. He’d never thought of himself as particularly sensitive to art, but these were amazing, even moving…
Mesmerized, body swaying slightly to the throb of the music emanating through the floor and walls, his own sexual need tight and hot in his belly, Gabriel reached out to brush a fingertip over the surface of the nearer painting as though trying to touch the indescribable, seductive emotions on the canvas, emotions he craved but had yet to acknowledge even within himself.
He was leaning closer to get a look at the signature in the bottom corner of the canvas when a scuffing sound jerked him back to reality too late. Beguiled by the exotic sights, the primal beat, and his own personal demons, Gabriel never heard the man behind him until he was seized and pinned face down over the broad oak desk.
He struggled, but alcohol and shock at his own carelessness slowed his reactions. His arms were twisted behind his back, his wrists painfully bent.

The house is built in the semirural, garden part of the historical town of Kromeriz situated in the middle of the fertile South Moravian lowlands in the south eastern part of the Czech Republic. The building plot itself is narrow and oblong. For that reason the house seems to be closed in its longitudinal axis and open towards the garden by using glassed-in walls. Its internal space is unlimited.
The house structure is made of wooden balks jacketed with large-size wooden bio-boards vertically and horizontally both in the exterior and interior. The large bright red surfaces form a sharp contrast with the natural wood color of the building´s structure. The house is a piece of furniture in the middle of the garden.

Thugs raid war cemetery in search of scrap metal, relics
By Kevin Tunoi | February 25th 2014
By Kevin Tunoi
Eldoret, Kenya: Unlike in the Biblical times, an empty grave does not imply resurrection in Uasin Gishu but is a pointer to a serious brand of crime in the area.
It means grave robbers have ignored the ‘Rest In Peace’ tag and have violated a corpse’s resting place making away with valuables.
Uasin Gishu, part of what was formerly Kenya’s White Highlands, where large-scale colonial farmers resided in huge swathes of land is dotted with graves, with the most famous being the Commonwealth War Memorial graves.
Recently, the thriving black market has seen an increase in violation of cemeteries in search for valuable relics that fetch handsome amounts of cash. Defaced tombstones greet are scattered through the once beautiful cemetery with the metallic epitaphs missing due to the also lucrative scrap metal business.
There is a popular belief that the wealth colonial farmers were buried with their worldly possession in fancy graves which has given rise to grave robbery. The Eldoret Cemetery contains five Commonwealth burials of the Second World War and one French war grave.
In Plateau area of Uasin Gishu, four suspected treasure hunters were busted by members of the public while three other managed to escape after they were found exhuming ancient graves.
The suspects had opened up a grave exposing skeletal remains and were in the process of breaking the plaster from the second grave. The bizarre afternoon incident saw the suspects beaten up by an angry mob after a woman saw them and raised alarm.
Witchcraft paraphernalia, assorted traditional herbs and a business card for a funeral home was recovered from the pockets of the suspects. The self-confessed treasure hunters confessed it was not their first time to search for buried treasure.
“We were only looking for valuables we believe the dead had been buried with since we have a lucrative market for them abroad,” one of them explained. He added that their main target in exhumations was antique padlocks, iron boxes, gold and silver ornaments that are believed to be buried with their owners.
The hunter explained that they had already made money from earlier sales of antiquities which he noted was high in demand abroad.
“This is a taboo in our community, we do not disturb the dead and their graves are very well respected but this is just abnormal,” said Wellington Korir, a resident.

Ever since I received the latest batch of Maze and Vale fabric panels for the shop, I've been itching to sew with the new designs. I'm quite smitten with the trio of prints that are printed on a gray organic cotton base cloth, so I picked this gorgeous teal heart print to use for my first project, and paired it with coordinating teal and chartreuse prints from my stash.
When it came time to figure out what I wanted to make, I almost immediately thought of the yellow-and-white diamond quilt that I posted recently, but actually made quite a while ago. I loved how the pattern worked with solids and almost solids, so I decided to have a go at making another, smaller version, this time using only prints.
I auditioned a few different low-volume fabrics for the background, before settling on my favorite black-and-white polka dot. For the backing, I used a scrap of Marimekko vine fabric (I love the pop of eggplant from that lone bud!).
I used the same method of quilting for this version as I did with the original: white outline quilting in the background, and angled teal quilting lines within each of the diamonds. A pretty diamond pattern emerged on the back as a result.
The teal heart print plays so nicely with the other prints, and I really love the mix of hand-printed and commercially printed fabrics. This quilt is now available in the shop, as are individual panels of the heart print. I would absolutely love to see what you would pair this fabric with in your own projects!
Finished dimensions: 16" x 21"
Fabrics used include: LoveHearts in Deep Peacock by Maze and Vale; Firefly Whisper from Hello, Bear by Bonnie Christine; chartreuse prints from Chicopee and Hope Valley by Denyse Schmidt; and teal prints from Botanics and Doe by Carolyn Friedlander.
Block tutorial: Half-Rectangle Triangle by Latifah Saafir for the Modern Quilt Guild
Update: I've had quite a few people ask me for a pattern for this quilt. While I still recommend working with the tutorial originally published by the Modern Quilt Guild, Cluck Cluck Sew recently published a pattern for a quilt with a similar look, which may work well you as well.

They had fantastic allies in being able to make this happen and that was that most of their regulars were from the huge pharmaceutical company Astra Zenica in Macclesfield, giving them access to the top equipment and minds in all aspects from microscopic testing to DNA testing, the list goes on.
With access to a wealth of consultants as well, due to family ties, they could research the medicinal sides as well.
If that wasn’t good enough, they also had good friends whom owned funeral homes and could lead them through all the principles and actions in the crematorium.
The Tattoo Artist That Used Ashes With Success.
6 months of collecting data and with testing and research, gave them a system of protocols to follow that would ensure that the ashes would be safe to use and would hold with the tattoo ink.
When it came to the tattoo ink, they spent months talking to original old school tattooists on ways to formulate their ink. In the original days all the tattooist created their own inks. Some were good at it; some were experts at it and that’s who they dealt with.
Finding The Solutions
So, they had the two pieces of the puzzle, a dedicated ink formulation and viscosity flow match to the ashes integration quantities and they had got the ashes to an inert state through vaporization and other techniques, which is sterile and perfect for amalgamation with the ink pigment and in doing so creating the commemorative tattoo ink.
The day of the tattoo for the two clients went fine and they even invited a local paper to do a little low down on the project. This in turn the next day turned up all around the globe. With Tv shows phoning for interviews and the media pushing the story, Bubblegum Ink passed everything over to the two clients. Yes, they had committed a long time on making it happen, but it was the clients tattoos and the client’s grandads’ ashes that was for them, the story.
International Ashes Tattoos
Over the years the press still calls them, occasionally an ashes tattoo from Bubblegum Ink will get shown on social media and the media jump on it again. Bit the more publicity they got the more inquires they got and still get from around the globe. But being based in Cheshire in the UK, they could help with the international enquires.
The Best Commemorative Tattoo Ink For Tattoo Artists
So they decided to develop and build a company where the client can go on the website and buy the ink, they send us the ashes and we send back the ashes infused tattoo ink, so they can go locally and get the ashes tattoo their after.
The business model is moving leaps and bounds, clients alike, as well as tattooist know that with Cremation Ink ®, they are getting the best expert service, with years of experience and state of the art machinery, tailored to giving you the highest quality and safest ashes infused commemorative tattoo ink available on the market today.

After moderate success in his debut film ‘8 Mile’, Eminem is taking another crack at the big screen in his upcoming film entitled ‘Shady Talez’. The 37 year old will play three different characters in the comic book style horror flick, hoping to deflect the assumption that he only had the range to basically play himself in a feature length film. Eminem apparently also co-wrote the flick with Underworld star Kevin Grevioux.
The rapper, whose popularity has diminished over the years after 2 sub par albums, will try to jump start his career after a series of embarrassing moments in the spotlight, including being dissed by diva Mariah Carey and being teabagged in public by Sacha Baron Cohen. Eminem admitted he was in on the publicity stunt, a startling admission considering the bulk of his fans are homophobic and were already becoming disenchanted with Em’s deteriorating music career. Over the years Marshall Mathers’ flow has become a shadow of what it once was, his verbal gymnastics morphing into a predictable, monotonous style, turning the one time hip hop hellion into just another emcee.
It has been rumored that his ability to rhyme was directly related to his consumption of ecstasy, but since experiencing a near methadone overdose while on tour in 2005, Eminem has apparently been clean. In what some are calling an obvious imitation or at the very least an unbelievable coincidence, a leaked photo of Eminem in his Shady Talez make-up has a striking resemblance to Heath Ledger as The Joker in the Dark Knight. Art may be imitating the life of a deceased artist, and the risk Mathers is taking by potentially attempting to remind viewers of Ledger’s brilliant performance could be the nail in his acting coffin.
No word yet on who will be directing or co-starring in the film. Shady Talez is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2010.

In a moment of levity, a Freudian psychoanalyst might throw up his or her hands and say “If it isn’t one thing, it’s a mother.” Certainly this was the case with H.P. Lovecraft, whose poor self-esteem and chronic hypochondria were due in part to the over-protectiveness of his mother. But this is a caricature and an over-simplification of the field. As with Marxist interpretations, psychoanalytic approaches to literature yield fruitful perspectives on the nature and motivations of a given work, and perhaps on a reader’s response to it. This is so despite questions about the effectiveness of Freudian theory or Marxist theory in psychology and politics.
In the early 1900s, Lovecraft began publishing some of his earliest stories, interesting items like A Reminiscence of Dr. Samuel Johnson (1917), The Beast in the Cave (1918), and Dagon (1919). These originally appeared in amateur press periodicals, and were revisions of stories he had written earlier in his life. Lovecraft’s career as a horror writer was just beginning. He was nearly 30 years old when his proto-Cthulhu tale Dagon appeared in The Vagrant. Around this time, Sigmund Freud published an important essay, The Uncanny, an insightful application of psychoanalytic theory to supernatural literature and to supernatural experiences.
The Uncanny (1919) is one of Freud’s more accessible works, though it is still a challenge to read. The reader need not agree with his theories about the origin of mental illness to appreciate what he has to say about the nature of the supernatural. For both readers and writers of horror fiction—or weird fiction generally—the essay is worth spending some time with. It contains ideas that can be applied to the critical appreciation of horror literature as well as to writing technique. (A version of the essay can be found at this link: http://web.mit.edu/allanmc/www/freud1.pdf.) This two-part post will offer a summary of highlights from Freud’s essay, followed by suggestions for using some of his perspectives when reading or writing weird fiction.
German Has a Word for It
The German language has a capacity to generate words for subtle concepts that have no exact equivalent in other tongues. Think of such useful words as zeitgeist, weltanschauung, and a personal favorite, schadenfreude. Freud’s essay is entitled Das Unheimliche, rendered incompletely in English as The Uncanny. In the first section of his three part essay, Freud offers a linguistic analysis of the word, and provides numerous examples of its use to demonstrate various shades of meaning.
There is a brief, interesting cross cultural survey of the concept in other languages, with different gradations of meaning suggesting a variety of cultural experiences of the uncanny. For example, the Greek equivalent xenos emphasizes the strange or foreign, whereas Hebrew and Arabic words stress a demonic or gruesome character. It would be interesting to see the results of a more in depth study: how are cultures similar and how do they differ in their perception of the supernatural and the horrifying?
Unheimlich is the opposite of heimlich, a word defined as having to do with the home, that is, what is familiar, comfortable, and intimate. Other related connotations for heimlich include “tame” and “friendly”. Unheimlich—literally “unhomely”—is the reverse. However, Freud notes that the word heimlich has a second, more ominous meaning: that which is hidden or secret, which should be kept out of sight. He concludes that the word unheimlich and its opposite are linked semantically. “Unheimlich is in some way or other a subspecies of heimlich.”
This of course ties in with Freud’s idea of neurotic behaviors originating in hidden or repressed memories from childhood. The concealment or unconscious repression of this material produces a variety of symptoms of morbid anxiety in adulthood.
What Is the Uncanny?
Following his analysis of the German word “unheimlich”, Freud goes on to offer a preliminary definition of his own. “…the uncanny is that class of the terrifying which leads back to something long known to us, once very familiar.” But how is it that something that was once very “heimlich” to us, familiar and comfortable, becomes terrifying?
Freud cites the work of a colleague named Jentsch, who suspects that an experience of the uncanny comes from intellectual doubt or disorientation about perceived events. A classic horror trope is the scene in which a supposedly lifeless or inanimate object may in fact be alive and capable of purposeful movement. Examples include zombies and other monsters thought to be vanquished but who suddenly revive—with the horror amplified by the characters’ uncertainty up to that point. Animated dolls, manikins, statues, and ordinarily obedient machines of various sorts are also in this category of the uncanny.
The converse can also effective: something or someone believed to be among living who is found on closer examination to belong to a different category. The role of uncertainty and ambiguousness in the uncanny is reminiscent of Todorov’s “hesitation theory”, (see also Horror Theory: Todorov’s “Hesitation”). Jentsch also includes among the uncanny some manifestations of epilepsy or insanity, in which victims’ movements and behavior seem controlled by unknown forces. It is no accident that throughout history such symptoms were interpreted as supernatural manifestations requiring either segregation or miracle working.
Why is the Uncanny Terrifying?
While acknowledging the importance of perceptual ambiguity and uncertainty, Freud feels this is insufficient to explain the fear the uncanny. He goes on to analyze a short story by E.T.A. Hoffman, The Sandman (1816). This is a horror story too intricate and subtle to discuss in detail here. Nathaniel, one of the lead characters, is told a bed time fable about ‘the Sandman’ when a young child. Though he knows it is make-believe, it leaves an indelible mark on his psyche. Here is a description of the Sandman and what he does:
“He is a wicked man who comes when children won’t go to bed, and throws handfuls of sand in their eyes so that they jump out of their heads all bleeding. Then he puts the eyes in a sack and carries them off to the moon to feed his children. They sit up there in their nest, and their beaks are hooked like owl’s beaks, and they use them to peck up naughty boys’ and girls’ eyes with.”
(For some children, bedtime must have been an intense experience in the early 19th century.)
Nathaniel goes on to experience a series of traumatic, uncanny events in which elements of this story seem to recur in various places and times in his life. There are weird coincidences involving names and images, which eventually culminate in Nathaniel becoming insane and jumping to his death. Freud uses the story to apply psychoanalytical understandings about early childhood fears, anxieties about castration, and the supposed unconscious desire of all small boys to kill their fathers—certainly not mine; I needed my father alive so I could continue to collect a weekly allowance!—and so forth.
There are also some interesting comments about the notion of the doppelgänger, another useful German term. Freud sees in “the double” or reflected image of the psyche “an insurance against the destruction of the ego”, with the belief in an eternal soul being the first double. He traces it to childhood narcissism which later on in the adult—because repressed or forgotten—is projected outwards as a “ghastly harbinger of death”, a ghost or spectre.
But the key notion Freud derives from Hoffman’s story is the feature of recurrence. At this point, he further refines his concept of the uncanny and why it is so terrifying: the experience is connected to the infantile stage of consciousness, when the ego was not sharply delineated from the external world or from other persons, and is manifested by a recurrence or similarity of situations, objects or events linked to infantile fears.
(To be continued.)

Greg Davis: Paul, it’s excellent to have you below today to chat to our customers about what is been happening in the municipal bond market. You know, we’ve observed a rather significant volume of issue about liquidity circumstances in the market. Really like to get your point of view on what you fellas are looking at as the head of the municipal bond group.
Paul Malloy: Certain. So what we’re looking at is a rather speedy value adjustment just as we’ve observed in numerous other marketplaces. And portion of that in the municipal market is because of to the quite abundant stages we went into this at. And on the other facet is traders needing cash for many motives these as rebalancing into fairness portfolios. And you’ve received some other shorter-time period players in the municipal marketplaces that are demanding liquidity. So what that has performed is place some force on yields to move upward as traders are demanding liquidity into the merchandise, but ultimately this speedy value adjustment is a superior factor.
Greg: And when you imagine about for prolonged-time period traders, better yields must be a superior factor for these traders, correct Paul?
Paul: Totally. So, to get the true benefit of the municipal asset class, you require to be a prolonged-time period proprietor. It’s all about creating tax-free of charge revenue, and the only way you get to create that tax-free of charge revenue more than time is by holding it more than time and on the lookout by any bits of value volatility. So you’ve received a truly one of a kind option now to lock in some rather high yields tax-free of charge revenue for the prolonged operate.
Greg: What is your just take on the Fed’s new credit history and liquidity services, what effects are you fellas looking at in conditions of the market…how are the marketplaces responding to that?
Paul: Properly, we applaud the Fed’s steps to keep funds flowing by the process. You know the funds market liquidity facility, it was excellent to have it expanded to protect municipals so that it was taken care of just like each individual other funds market fund. It was entirely inclusive. The other credit history services that had been introduced are delivering ancillary positive aspects that as these marketplaces have firmed up, municipal marketplaces are on the lookout quite attractive as opposed to a ton of other mounted revenue asset courses. So, you’re obtaining a ton of cross-more than buyers intrigued in the municipal space.
Greg: So, Paul, provided the present-day market atmosphere, what guidance would you give to customers contemplating about or investing in munis at this stage in time?
Paul: Yeah, I would say, imagine about why you get into munis to start with. It’s received truly small historic default costs and you get tax-free of charge revenue. So, correct now, with yields wherever they are, you have the capability to lock in some quite great yields to get that tax-free of charge revenue. You can commit on a diversified basis to take away even the smallest little bit of default threat and maintain it for the prolonged time period.
