One is a very short walking distance from Otaika River, looking Westward toward Onerahi, my old stomping ground at Tamaterau, Parua Bay, and of course, the Maunga Manaia.
The same Maunga gave me a sense of coming home back when I was in my late teens and 20s, living further South. Travelling North, Manaia and the Bay greeted us as we chugged over the crest of the Brynderwyns in a mate’s old VW.
At times, it was and is an almost magical sight. I felt lighter, with a sense of space, relief almost.
I’m very lucky – privileged – to now stay close by Otaika River, in a small whare ( bach ) not far south of Whangarei. A daily summer swim clears the cobwebs from body and brain. It boosts the spirit.
As a kid, my Dad sometimes took me and my brother out fishing on the harbour from near Tamaterau. The river, and advice from the expert locals, gives me a chance to re-learn the skill.
I’m a visitor here, a temporary guardian for more permanent guardians, and I try to remind myself of that.
Another place is at the Whangarei town basin, and on The Loop walking riding, and jogging course. In my case, a jog started as more of a shuffle. But as the weeks have gone past, my joints creak less, and the legs work better. I’m enjoying it.
It was meant as a communal place, and as I spend more time there, that becomes more obvious. I can think of a community of yachties, and a community of young families at the playground, a community of restaurant- and cafe-goers, a fitness community.
I’m still a part-timer with some of those, but they give a sense of belonging. I was on the Loop jogging, and at the Basin early evening, just before dusk, last week. Looking from Quayside near the kids’ playground over to Riverside Drive and up at Parihaka is a physical view from sea-level up, but in other ways, it’s a View from the Top.
As if from the Top, it’s still possible to look up, instead of the other way.
In ancient times, the Romans used to say mens sana in corpore sano. In slightly less ancient times, a Latin teacher used to repeat that, telling us it meant ‘a sound mind in a sound body’. As I get closer to being ancient myself, I understand that better.
So physical exercise, in my case jogging and swimming, is one ritual which helps keep my view looking up. Another is a daily spiritual practice. I’m far from perfect with those – I’m a work in progress.
A third ritual is a weekly visit to TTTWon as part of a support group. Again, it’s about shared experience and support, a communal spirit.
Without those things, the wide, open View from the Top shrinks and darkens. For example, a view of Manaia from Otaika river Westward versus a view of a dimly-lit cellar in daytime, or from a sickbed.
I’ve had my time in those places, and I prefer not to go back. It’s no fun at all.
Above are some of things I do, and remind myself of, to keep an ‘insurance plan’ in place.

A long time ago, in a bedroom far, far away, the geeks were passing their days happily ignored by romantic fiction readers. Our romantic heroes were no nerds. They were alpha males who’d dominated their way to the top of their macho worlds, with their ripped bodies and chiselled jaws, hunky men who would offer us the occasional flash of a white smile – when they weren’t being horribly aggressive to the heroine.
But now it seems there’s a welcome turn in the tide of the geeks’ fortunes. There’s a newer, younger audience of readers who want more from their hero than some sort of himbo – even if he does happen to be a muscular billionaire.
Recently Fiona Harper, one of my favourite Mills & Boon (Harlequin) authors, tweeted that she was looking for suggestions for #sexygeeks in TV/films, as she was trying to persuade her editor that a geek could be a hero. Of course, she was immediately inundated. So that’s it. If even Mills & Boon, that last bastion of chisel jawed manhood, is finally accepting the geek as lead then the day of the nerd has definitely arrived. And I, for one, am welcoming him with open arms.
See what I mean? Finally, a hero who’s not at home in social situations! Who’d have thought it! And Ivan isn’t the only one. Nerd in Shining Armor, by Vicki Lewis Thompson, deserves a mention for the title alone, but if you’re looking for more geeks then here’s a choice of one hundred of them in this Goodreads list of Brainy/Genius Romantic Heroes.
Why has there been such a rise in popularity of this kind of hero? Maybe it’s because in recent times it’s become more acceptable for men to show their gentler side. Maybe it’s because women are better educated than ever before, and want to have conversations with men who can discuss more than the Footsie or the footie results. Maybe, on a more mercenary level, it’s because advances in modern technology have made geeks some of the richest people in the world, and they can now hold their own with the traditional billionaire hero. I’d be interested to hear your comments on this, as I find this one of the most intriguing developments in romantic fiction.
To be fair, though, I have to point out, that some of the world’s best authors got there first and were ahead of their time. I’m thinking particularly of the maths geek Christopher Tietjens in Ford Madox Ford’s Parade’s End , published in the 1920s. Tietjens was played to absolute perfection by (who else?) Benedict Cumberbatch in the recent BBC adaptation. Now there’s a great geek hero!
What about other geeks? Do you have any favourites from books or screen? Please let me know in the comments, as I’d love to check them out!

Vlad the Impaler was once the most fearsome ruler in Europe. His armies marched against both Turks and Saxons until his enemies assassinated him. But Vlad Dracula rose from the dead, ready to wrest control of a new kingdom, that of the undead legions of the Night.
To his surprise, he discovered the Undead of Europe to be bestial, scattered, and nearly mindless; more akin to zombies than vampires. So he set out to replace them with a new breed of Undead, borne of his blood and taken from only the finest noble houses. Thus Dracula became the sire not of warriors, but elegant and seductive noblewomen whom no man could resist: Lady Katya, Countess Elizabeth Báthory, Countess Mircalla Karnstein, Lady Lenore, Countess Ulrica Dolingen, and others.
You’ve read Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”. Now see how Dracula assembled the most powerful and famous members of his entourage. As part of THE LEGEND OF DRACULA trilogy, this book contains thirteen short stories about the infamous Count and his seductive children of the Night.
Gretchen Stultz may have been born a commoner, but there was little common about her. Even as a child, the pretty, red-haired girl quickly learned that a smile or a glance could win the hearts of men and women.
Her mother was a washer-woman when there was work and a strumpet when there was not; therefore, Gretchen's parentage was questionable. She was allowed to plant a garden on the tiny patch of ground behind the hovel she shared with her mother and three brothers. She grew turnips and parsnips to supplement their meager diet, but also flowers.
Gretchen loved this garden and mostly she loved the beautiful flowers which she watered and tended carefully. When they bloomed to their fullest, she cut them and gathered them in her apron and took them to the town square of Wittenburg where she sold them.
"Little fraulein, your flowers are the largest and most fragrant in all the land," they would say to her, or, "Oh, they are so pretty, just like you."
In truth, her flowers were no prettier than anyone else's, but Gretchen was prettier than the other flower girls and she never failed to sell all her wares.
In time, Gretchen's ambitions and tastes grew. When she could grow no more flowers in her tiny garden she bought flowers cheap from old women in the neighborhood and sold them at a premium, sometimes to their husbands. In the square, Gretchen met not only commoners but tradesmen and soldiers and squires. She considered marrying one soldier who made his affection for her quite plain. But she held her heart in check-after all, she might do better.
And then, one sunny day, a middle-aged doctor spotted her in the street. He was not only smitten with her, as were so many others, but he paid for her posies with silver, not copper.
Doctor Johann Faust showered her with fine clothes, linens, kitchen wares, tulips from Holland, and various trinkets, including a solid gold heart on a gold chain. Always she encouraged him, but never did she allow him access to her own treasures. At forty, he was just too old. Indeed, the old wives muttered he was older still.
More important, when Gretchen asked if he intended marriage, he confessed that would never happen. Indeed, the subject not only embarrassed him, but she thought it even frightened him.
The doctor's apprentice, Wagner, was closer to her age and station, and he gave her an appreciative glance from time to time. But he went no further, no matter her encouragement, and it was obvious he feared the consequences of such a dalliance.
There was one other in Faust's household, seldom seen and never heard. He appeared in the robes of an Augustinian monk, but he was anything but. With his hood thrown back, he was a gaunt, cruel-faced man with long, curly, black hair and a mustache like a Turk.
"I call him Mephistopheles," Faust told her, tickling her nose with a rose he had purchased from her. "He's my personal devil, and I will send him after thee, if you do not give me a kiss."
Gretchen quickly crossed herself and he laughed. Then she kissed him. But that was all he could get on his own.
One evening in 1540, Dr. Faust surprised Gretchen Stultz in the main square of Wittenberg.
"This is her," he said, obviously not speaking to her.
Gretchen, suddenly surprised, turned to see whom he might be speaking to. She found herself looking into the face of Mephistopheles.
This man, this devil, looked at her, peering deeply into her eyes. They... they were the color of blood. She wanted to scream. She wanted to run. She did neither.
Faust gave orders, but Gretchen could not make them out. She could obey only this demon.
"Come with us, to Faust's house," the devil commanded. She did so.
When they were there, Mephistopheles ordered her out of her clothes and she did as he bade.
"Lay on the bed. Faust will come to thee in the manner of a man to a woman. Respond to him as such."
She lay on the bed and spread open her legs. Faust divested himself of his scholarly robes and mounted her. And the devil stood over them, watching.

Does terrorism still hold global attention?
Has its threat really receded?
Or has there been a change in perception?
In answering the key questions of our times during a panel discussion on 'Countering terrorism as it evolves', army chief General Bipin Rawat made it clear that terrorism is here to stay, but it will take myriad forms, mutate and even spawn into a hydra-headed monster.
"Terrorism will stay so long as nations continue to sponsor terror as State policy," the army chief said on Wednesday during at the ongoing Raisina Dialogue, being convened by the Observer Research Foundation and Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi. The general didn't name Pakistan, but he didn't need to. The reference to Pakistan fomenting terrorism and radicalisation in Jammu and Kashmir was close enough. Calling terrorism a "low visibility, high impact" and a "new form" of warfare, Rawat said it is useful for weaker nations to draw parity with nations that are stronger.
To a question on whether India has been successful in checking the level of radicalisation among the youth despite having the "world's largest minority population", the army chief drew a distinction between the radicalisation efforts of Islamic State in converting Indian youths and Pakistan's overt and covert operations in Jammu and Kashmir. He put the level of radicalisation among Jammu and Kashmir youths as "high", being fed a daily diet of "misinformation, disinformation, and a lot of falsehoods on religion", and he touted these as the reasons behind the fact that a lot of educated youths are being radicalised in Kashmir.
Rawat reiterated the need to put curbs on social media to control radicalisation because according to the general, the Internet's reach and the media's proclivity to act as the messenger makes it difficult for counter-terror agencies to manage the menace. Curbing social media and fake news isn't tantamount to suppressing the media but a way of managing the disruption, he said.
On the spread of Islamic State ideology in India, however, the general suggested that a rich family value system acts as the first and most effective guard against radicalisation of youths because when a member shows signs of going astray, the family draws him in. This could be a crucial difference between the way radicalisation has spread in the West and in the Indian subcontinent. The general also placed a lot of weight on the local beat police officer who knows the neighbourhood closely and acts as a radar, helping counter-terror agencies in India in doing their work.
Speaking about the Taliban, however, the army chief felt that it is difficult to keep Pakistan away because it consider Afghanistan as its backyard, but it is important that the talks with the US are conducted without preconditions because you can't have terrorists put conditions during discussions.
On this, however, Husain Haqqani, former Pakistan envoy to the US and now a severe critic of Islamabad differed from the general. According to Haqqani, a senior fellow and director for South and Central Asia for Washington-based Hudson Institute, launching any sort of talks with the Taliban is a mistake because it gives "recognition" to the terrorist outfit and sends a message to Pakistan that if a government plays its cards right, it may continue to remain a state sponsor of terror even if it escapes the label.
The former ambassador lambasted Washington's efforts to secure an "honourable exit" from Afghanistan because it tells the Taliban that the US is "desperate to leave" and emboldens the outfit. Haqqani questioned the very logic behind US plan to engage with the Taliban and leave Afghanistan in lurch. He said the Taliban might be making all right noises on the discussion table, but there is no guarantee that the group will keep its word.
"When the Taliban was in power, it played football with human heads and made women second-class citizens. How much will its ideology change? Won't the US drawdown let Afghanistan fall back into Taliban rule?" As a pan-Islamist movement (as all Islamist movements are), we may witness jihadi terrorism 3.0 (after Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State), suggested Haqqani.
The analyst explained the US predicament in Afghanistan, where it is fighting an 18-year-long war and showing signs of fatigue and disinterest, because the US never loses a war, only interest.

Whether you’re a quick-morning-fat-burner type runner or someone who’s always in training for something more long distance like a marathon – your nutritional intake is just as important as when you’re out pounding the pavement. Although dairy probably isn’t something that you’d want to consume right before a big race, the benefits it offers runners (and other activities) is well established. This blog will look at some of the gains to be had from including dairy in your diet.
Maintaining a healthy weight is obviously great for helping better that PB time around your favourite running route – and the activity itself obviously helps keep those pesky extra pounds off! Of course those pounds in question could be fat (good to lose)... or lean muscle (not so healthy to lose). Diets and weight loss programs that encourage extreme calorie-restricted regimes can be counter productive and often mean the weight lost with them is instantly gained again. This is because they burn off muscle weight – which eventually returns again as we get stronger, even if we stick to the calorie count. In fact, daily exercise and a high-protein diet is thought to result in more fat loss whilst still keeping you strong. Dairy foods, such as ours, are a great source of protein and can help you achieve this!
You might not have heard of leucine before but it’s pretty important in terms of keeping you light on your feet. It’s naturally occuring in milk and one of the nine essential amino acids that are essential to our body. It’s also the only one that stimulates protein synthesis and leads to a growth in lean muscle tissue. This makes it essential for anyone taking part in hard training regimes, as it’ll help keep those otherwise tired muscles going. Leucine’s also thought to regulate glucose levels during endurance running meaning that you’re less likely to ‘hit the wall’ while in action.
Of course any major changes to your diet should be approached with care and always consult your GP if there’s anything you’re not sure about. The evidence is there and does seem to suggest that there’s more than one positive to including dairy in your diet if you’re a runner!

Construction of the Northwest Court of the Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress. Photograph taken on July 10, 1891.
This story was republished on CityLab. Find the original version here on The Conversation.
What do Ron Paul, Nancy Pelosi, and President Donald Trump have in common? They’ve all promised to “drain the swamp” of Washington politics.
George Washington knew exactly what he was doing in early 1791 when he led the three-member commission that Congress had authorized to pick the site for the nation’s capital. There was never much doubt that the new federal district and city would be near the head of navigation on the Potomac River, adjacent to the thriving port town of Georgetown and well away from the squishy margins of Chesapeake Bay. Washington knew the region intimately as a nearby landowner and resident, and the site for Washington looked much like his home at Mount Vernon—a rolling riverside terrain of old tobacco fields.
Pictorial panoramas of the city proliferated during the 19th century as ways to instill national pride in Washington, and are one of the best sources for understanding early Washington.
"City of Washington from Beyond the Navy Yard."
Leaf through the images in the Library of Congress and you’ll see a dry landscape with buildings that would not have survived to the present had their foundations been sunk in muck. The Smithsonian Castle, for example, has been standing straight since the late 1840s.
Map from Harper’s Magazine, printed in 1852.
The truly muddiest episode in Washington’s development came in the mid-19th century. After the Civil War, decades of farming in the Potomac River hinterland led to erosion that sent masses of silt downriver.
As the Potomac slowed below its last rapids—where the river entered the District of Columbia—the silt precipitated into massive mudflats on the city side of the river.
Politicians who have spent any time in Washington should know better. After all, the city is filled with neighborhoods with names like Friendship Heights, Mount Pleasant, Columbia Heights, Crestwood, Washington Highlands, and “fine view” (Kalorama).
Having summered in Washington, I’m not writing to defend the climate. But a steam bath does not make a swamp. I don’t expect the facts of Washington’s historical geography will fully undercut a catchy bipartisan slogan, but take it for what it is—a facile phrase without an anchor in the city’s history.
National Treasures: Save the Tidal Basin. Take the Pledge.
Washington may not be built on a swamp, but rising sea levels do threaten American icons like the National Mall Tidal Basin. Join our multi-year campaign to save this historic place.

and the shell uses the correct keyfile from my ~/.ssh directory.
What I have tried: I copied the public key from authorized_keys on the remote server and pasted it to authorized_keys on the local server, with mdexter@172.12.34.56 (private key) because I thought that might be what created the association in the shell between that key and that server for the shell.
The only difference I can recall between how I set up the two servers is that with the first, I created a .ppk key in PuTTy so that I could connect through FileZilla for SFTP. But I think SSH is still utilizing the .pem given by Amazon.
How can I tell the shell to just know to always use my .pem key for that server when SSHing into that particular IP? It's trivial, but I'm trying to strengthen my (rudimentary) understanding of public/private keys and I'm wondering if this plays into that.
By placing the contents of your ~/.ssh/mykey.pem into ~/.ssh/id_rsa on the machine where you are ssh'ing into 2nd instance. Make sure you also change the permissions of ~/.ssh/id_rsa to 600.
After performing any of the above steps you should be able to ssh into your second instance with out specifying the key path.
Note: The second option requires you to add the key using ssh-add every time you logout and log back in so to make that a permanent injection see this SO question.

Once it has been decided to reduce the price, you’ve unnecessarily lost time and money. Your strongest prospective buyers may have found another home, while the over-inflated price could result in a negative impression among agents and buyers who are still in the market. Not to mention, reengaging buyers after those first critical few weeks can be very challenging. As the saying goes, “time is money”; so the longer a home is on the market, the lower the selling price will likely be in relation to the initial listing price.
When a home languishes on the market, the seller loses in a number of ways. Each month the home goes unsold, is another month of costs to the owner in mortgage payments, taxes, and maintenance—expenses that are not recovered when the home is sold. Furthermore, until the house is sold, the owner is on hold and can’t move forward with whatever plans prompted the decision to sell. If the seller is still living in the home, it can also be fatiguing to keep the property in ready-to-show condition month after month.

An Iran-linked cyber-espionage group tracked as APT39 is carrying out a widespread campaign using a broad range of custom and off-the-shelf tools.
The APT39 cyberespionage group is carrying out a widespread campaign using a broad range of custom and off-the-shelf tools. The group has been active at least since November 2014, its operations are aligned with the ones attributed to the Chafer group and OilRig groups, it brings together TTPs used by both actors.
APT39 cyber spies focused their operations in the Middle East, other entities targeted by the group are the U.S. and South Korea. Most of the victims belong to the telecommunications and travel industries, cyber spies also targeted high-tech industry and government.
“APT39 primarily leverages the SEAWEED and CACHEMONEY backdoors along with a specific variant of the POWBAT backdoor. While APT39’s targeting scope is global, its activities are concentrated in the Middle East.” reads the report published by FireEye.
The operations collected by the APT39 group aims to collect geopolitical data along with monitoring targets of interest.
Experts observed an overlap between malware distribution techniques and command and control infrastructures used by APT39 and the ones observed in campaign associated with other Iran-linked APT groups.
Researchers at FireEye pointed out that the POWBAT backdoor used by the APT39 group is different from the one used by the APT34, but they don’t exclude a close collaboration between the two crews collaborate.
“While APT39 and APT34 share some similarities, including malware distribution methods, POWBAT backdoor use, infrastructure nomenclature, and targeting overlaps, we consider APT39 to be distinct from APT34 given its use of a different POWBAT variant. It is possible that these groups work together or share resources at some level.” continues the report.
Initial compromise leverages spear-phishing messages using malicious attachments or including URLs that point to a POWBAT infection. Furthermore, cyberspies also target vulnerable web servers of organizations to install web shells such as ANTAK and ASPXSPY, attackers used stolen legitimate credentials to compromise externally facing Outlook Web Access (OWA) resources.
In the post-infection phase, the threat actors leverage custom backdoors such as SEAWEED, CACHEMONEY, and a unique variant of POWBAT that is used by attackers to gain a foothold in a target environment.
Attackers use tools like Mimikatz and Ncrack, along with legitimate tools such as Windows Credential Editor and ProcDump and the port scanner BLUETORCH.
Once inside the target environment, for lateral movement that attackers use tools such as Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), Secure Shell (SSH), PsExec, RemCom, and xCmdSvc. Other custom tools used by the threat actors are as REDTRIP, PINKTRIP, and BLUETRIP that allow them to create SOCKS5 proxies between infected hosts.
APT39 use to compress data using WinRAR or 7-Zip before exfiltrating it.
“APT39’s targeting not only represents a threat to known targeted industries, but it extends to these organizations’ clientele, which includes a wide variety of sectors and individuals on a global scale.” FireEye concludes.

Civil and political activists resolved to join forces and save Sindh’s natural resources, including land, minerals and water, from further exploitation and demand the withdrawal of plans to sell two islands vital to local fisherman.
Speakers at a consultative meeting on Saturday [10 March 2007] resolved to wage a joint struggle to save Sindh's natural resources, including land, mineral and water, and demanded withdrawal of the decision of selling twin islands near Karachi.
Prominent people of the civil society and political parties came hard on the present rulers and denounced policies towards Sindh and announced to hold all-party conference (APC) in Karachi, likely on April 7.
The consultative meeting was organised by the Pakistan Mahigeer Tehrik (PMT) and Shirkat Gah at the office of SPO in Qasimabad with the theme "saving our natural resources for ourselves".
Speakers said the sale of twin islands was basically a continuation of plundering of the natural resources of Sindh and a united struggle should be launched, involving all political parties.
Sindh Tarraqi Passand Party (STPP) chairman Dr Qadir Magsi said everybody should play its due role and support the work of civil society in raising awareness about twin islands' sale and its repercussions on the overall economy of Sindh, especially on fishermen.
Awami Tehrik chief Rasool Bux Palejo on the occasion said things have to be looked with holistic approach and suggested massive rallies and sit-ins along with protests against the sale of twin islands.
He rejected awareness without struggle and asked political parties to become united against those hatching conspiracies to plunder the natural resources of Sindh.
Abrar Kazi of the Sindh Democratic Forum (SDF) said his organisation would file a case against the sale of twin islands and has already taken up the issue with the international donor agencies and embassies were also being informed about the concerns of Sindh.
Zulfiqar Halepoto said political parties should come up with development agenda.
Zubeda Birwani, convener of the PMT, said consultation meetings have been arranged to have a collective opinion on the issue of sale of twin islands and added lives of millions of fishermen are at stake.
She said we have to come out to protest against the injustice and in order to safeguard our natural resources.
Nasir Memon, Agha Shahbuddin, Professor Ejaz Qureshi, Arab Mallah, Jami Chandio and others also spoke on the occasion.
A documentary was also shown at the outset of the meeting about fishermen and hazards of twin island sale.

Mr. Morgan Coates’ Grade 9 English Honours class has just joined us and will be reading with forty-seven students.
We are looking for volunteers for our second round of reading beginning in April. We still have some ECS and Grade 1 students who have not yet had the opportunity to participate in this amazing program.
Volunteers are the heart of the program. They come to the school for 60 minutes once a week for eight consecutive weeks. If you deliver Hot Lunch or pick up your child after school, there are 30 minute sessions that can fit into your schedule! Volunteers read with two groups of two students. Each group works with the volunteer for 30 minutes. During the 30 minute session, volunteers read an English picture book, talk about the book they read, and play games that support literacy skills. Because each volunteer reads with the same children each week, a bond is developed. This makes the time together special, helping the children believe in themselves as readers.
For detailed information, check out Mme Kulmatycki’s Literacy Support eTeacher Page.
Interested in becoming a Wee Read volunteer?
Fill out the google form Wee Read Volunteer Sign Up.
When: Volunteers who have not previously attended a training session must attend one of the training sessions. (If you’re already part of the Wee Read program, you do not need to attend a training session.) If you are unable to make one of these training sessions, please contact Mme Kulmatycki to make other arrangements.
Be a Wee Read volunteer and join in the fun!
Summer School & Summer Camps!

We tend to focus on regulatory and legislative issues here at CommLawCenter, as that is the common ground for many of our media clients. However, the truth is that—just like our clients—we spend more time working on business issues than regulatory ones. Whether it’s mergers and acquisitions informed by regulatory rules, program negotiations, or novel business arrangements like channel-sharing agreements, the transactions are driven by business needs, regulatory needs, or both.
As we reported here, the FCC released its proposals regarding 2015 regulatory fees last May. As August turned into September, licensees were getting anxious as to when the FCC would get around to issuing an order setting the fees and opening the “Fee Filer” online payment system. That happened today with the release of this Public Notice and this Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (note that for the reasons discussed below, these FCC website links will not function correctly until the FCC’s website resumes normal operation on September 8th).

When you are injured, your first priority is to heal. You may call your doctor or visit your chiropractor. You may even need to visit specialists or undergo surgery. Whatever the path, the goal is always the same: heal in order to return to normal heath.
Too many times, I have seen people change their approach to healing just because their injuries were the result of someone else’s carelessness or recklessness. They experience new and unique obstacles to normal health—stress, lost wages, insurance paperwork, and claims adjusters—just to name a few. You should never be forced to sacrifice your approach to healing simply because you were a victim.
My clients have one job: Heal. That is all. It is my job to navigate the insurance and legal minefield and to fight for what is right and fair.

Believe it or not, but an opportunity I saw two years ago brought me here. The beautiful nature that we have here is very attractive to the eye. This is why tourism is so high in this area. Where tourism as industry is dominant, there is a big demand for what I know best – hospitality.
Did you always have a passion for cooking?
Yes, absolutely. I realised and acknowledged it in my teenage years. I was always around the kitchen helping my Mum, who has inspired me and I think led me into the science of cooking. She never really wanted me to become a chef, but now I think she is really pleased with the result. She always used to say that cooking makes her relax; that’s how I feel too. Cooking makes me forget all the negatives.
My passion for cooking has increased unbelievably in the last couple of years, and I like to try new cooking techniques such as molecular gastronomy.
I am very proud of all the places I’ve worked, as all of those places helped me to gain knowledge, experience, to help me to become who I am today. The place that gave me the most experience so far was The Lane.
I have come across situations and challenges that made me not just believe, but to know that everything is possible.
The motivation of my team, how devoted they are becoming, how their skills are getting stronger, how professional they are becoming, how we are working efficiently as a team in order to make the business grow bigger and more successful.
I love to create new meals, menus that fit exactly into a theme and to meet expectations. I love to create meals and a menu that don’t just simply fit in the theme, but there is a demand for. I love to innovate in the kitchen – to bring in new trends to keep up with the times that we are living in.
Can you tell us a couple of highlights of your career so far?
Becoming Sous Chef on the six star cruise liner, Seabourn, after climbing the ladder. Working at award winning restaurant chain Garfish in Sydney. Becoming two times number one on Tripadvisor as business owner with restaurant The Lane. Being co owner at Thyme Square Café, Sydney.
I am currently the Head Chef at Element Bar on the Coffs Jetty Strip, working with a fantastic team who are all very passionate about great food, creating an amazing customer experience and a wonderful authentic and relaxed atmosphere for people to enjoy.
If you could eat at any restaurant in the world, which would it be and why?
I think the dining trend is changing very fast at the moment. Fine dining restaurants are not necessarily places where you can get great food or enjoy great service and atmosphere.
I like wine bars, bars, modern pubs. If I would have to name some, they would be in England, such as York and Albany. I love the innovativeness – the limitless imaginations of the chefs.
In the near future I would like to fulfil my vision at the Element Bar. We have achieved great progress in the last couple of months, and we will be building on this positive momentum. I think we have an absolutely fantastic team here; I think we can achieve some great results. I personally would like to see Element Bar as a must visit place in NSW; Coffs Harbour is an iconic spot.
In the long-term future, I would like to see myself overseeing several restaurants in a top management level position.

The first page of Maft.co.uk isn’t the weblog, however, I was charmed by it. Neon-green on black with little stick-figure icons. This may very well be a case of “it’s so crappy, it’s awesome.” MaFT acknowledges this wondrous crappiness. One click, and I’m at the blog, which, rather than displaying the most recent entries, displays a linked list of all entries, in order, with small summaries. Definitely unconventional, but I can deal.
Unfortunately, updates to this weblog are highly sporadic. The most recent entry begins with “ooh, two updates in one month.” The entries are short, rambling, with a lot of train references and people-watching entries. The people-watching entries are great, especially when MaFT revels in the image of two polite individuals smacking into eachother due to their politeness.
The train entries are just confusing. MaFT apparently takes a train to work, and seems to have a fond affection for the locomotives. However, many of the entries (and not just the train ones, either) seem to take “stream of conciousness” to unhealthy extremes. Few make much sense, unless the reader is an acquaintance of the author, I assume. Many mention places, bands, and phenomena that leave the average reader clueless. Reading, I learn that the author is twenty-three, and has just recently discovered the blogging community. The knowledge that he has been writing in a void at least someone explains the chaos of the entries. In an early entry, he says “basically, this bit of the site will be me babbling on about things that happen in the world.” Unfortunately, the entries never transcend this babbling style.
The design is unique, enjoyably kitsch, and easily navigated. The deviation from the traditional blog format may alienate some readers, however. The theme of the site appears to be HTML itself, and the mock-tags surrounding each post are an interesting approach. However, the refreshing design adds little to this already chaotic and barely readable blog.
MaFt’s blog is only part of his site, which includes the requisite current books and music list, a table of all the concerts he has attended (with a few reviews), and a selection of family and concert photographs. In fact, the photos are the only part of the site I would recommend to anyone, aside from MaFt’s friends or anyone else who might know what he’s talking about.

The HDFC New Group linked plan is a plan that enables employers to carry out fiduciary responsibilities in a transparent and efficient manner. The HDFC Life plan allows employers to give the employees the recognition they deserve through employee benefit schemes thereby retaining and motivating the workforce and increasing overall productivity.
The policy has an indefinite term and can be renewed each year.
The plan is a unit linked insurance plan.
The plan is of a group basis.
The benefits such as leave encashment and gratuity are to be paid by the master policyholder or employer and is not borne by the insurer.
The plan offers a range of investment funds with varying degrees of risk exposure and return ratings.
The policyholder has the option of switching and offers 12 free switches every year to change the proportion and mix of funds invested.
The policy provides for liquidity by allowing smaller investments to be made.
The plan provides flexibility in payment of premiums.
The policy provides for claw back additions. These additions begin from the 5th policy year onwards and are added at the end of every year. Along with net yield and gross yield, the reduction in yields on actual returns is calculated and if these reductions are greater than stipulated by the regulations, claw back additions are made to the fund to comply to the stipulated yield requirements.
The plan offers income tax benefits to both the employer and the employee under the applicable tax laws.
The policy covers the event of death and members exiting the scheme.
The policy offers large fund discounts for any premium grater or equal to RS 1 crore.
The free look period of the policy is 15 days.
Maturity benefit: this policy does not have a maturity date and the policy will go on for as long as it is not terminated by either parties.
Benefits paid when a member exits the scheme: In the event a member exits a scheme, the policyholder will request for the amount to be paid to the beneficiary. This amount will be drawn from the policy fund to make the payment available and the maximum amount payable is equal to the value of the policy fund.
Large fund discount: for those policies with a minimum sum assured greater or equal to RS 1 crore an amount equal to 0.25% p.a on the policy's fund will be added to the policy. This discount is 0.45% if the premium is greater or equal to RS 2 Crores, 0.55% if the premium is greater or equal to RS 5 Crores , 0.65% if the premium is greater or equal to RS 10 Crores and 0.70% if the premium is greater or equal to RS 15 Crores.
Death benefit: In the unfortunate event of a death of an eligible member, along with the amount paid from the unit linked fund, an additional RS 1000 will be paid to the policyholder.
This is a daily charge and is calculated as 1.25% of the funds value.
This charge is deducted from the premium and the remainder is invested. The premium allocation charge is 2% if the policy is sourced through an intermediary.

Managing an event may not require rocket science, but successfully engaging with attendees does require manipulating the properties of neuroscience, the study of the nervous system, particularly the brain. In the last 10-15 years we have learned more about our thinking brain than in all of human history combined. Many of these discoveries have a huge impact on best practices for holding meetings and conferences, and, in turn, how we think about what it means to be engaged in a meeting setting.
When we are engaged, our frontal cortex releases dopamine (a pleasure hormone) which allows us to be more creative and causes an elevated perception of the world around us. This release makes us happier and more free in our exchange of knowledge—leading to better learning retention and more efficient networking. It can also create more effective conflict resolution and better emotional regulation, meaning productivity skyrockets where competing perspectives may have thrived in the past.
The most emotionally expressive person in any given room will transmit their mood to everyone else in just 2 minutes. This is the conclusion Daniel Goleman reached in his book Primal Leadership: Realizing the Power of Emotional Intelligence. This means the tone of a meeting or event can change dramatically based on one person’s mood.
Creating a safe, positive environment that fosters collaboration is of utmost importance in meeting design. One way to ensure this is through open collaboration with an unbiased moderator or facilitator; someone who can represent the group as a whole while at the same time allowing them a voice.
Neuroscientists have discovered that our brains are constantly either in a state of fight or flight or social engagement (a behavior known as Polyvagal Theory). If we feel important, free and comfortable, we let our guards down enough to fully engage in a meeting setting. Otherwise we tend to default to an acute stress response where we shut down emotionally and sometimes physically, unable to get important things done (let alone breathe or speak properly). Ice breakers, team building, and interactive entertainment can help break down barriers and create a fun, positive zone for learning and networking.
Storytelling stirs a wave of phenomena in the brain that creates more effective learning and communication. It triggers mirroring, which allows audiences to experience similar brain activity to the storyteller and each other and connect on a deep physiological level. It also creates neural coupling—a process in which the listeners relate the story to their own past experiences for greater connection.
This, in turn, allows the listeners to solve problems in new ways by looking at information in a way that draws on different areas of their existing knowledge. Speaker training can ensure your content experts provide information that weaves storytelling into the mix for greater learning retention and audience satisfaction.
Asking your attendees questions they might not necessarily have the answers to ahead of time can actually help them be ‘primed’ to learn better. Pre-testing or prompting with open-ended questions ahead of sharing new information gets the mind ready for better learning retention by providing the brain with an outline that we fill in with the details as we learn later.
Priming can also be useful in the event design phase. Before the event, incorporate quizzes, video sneak peeks into content, or simply poll your audience to see what they are most interested in learning. This is a great marketing tool and excuse to engage participants ahead of time to generate buzz and excitement.
As director of sales and marketing for Engagement Unlimited, Jenny Stanfield helps organizations and meetings be more engaging and maximize their potential. She continuously demonstrates her passion and advocacy for the meetings industry through her position as director of sponsorship for Professional Convention Management Association across Western Canada. She is also a proud 20 in their Twenties award recipient.

this was a beautiful rosary, but the metal links are soft and it began falling apart soon after i got it. i’m a nurse and i was keeping it in my pocket when i worked but now am unable to because it can’t be repaired.
The item is pretty but I expected the pendant to be a little bigger. It’s a little hard to read the engraving.
This item was not what I expected, and other people may like it better than I. The white little items on the shorter strand are acutally bits of lace, which was not may taste. The item arrived quickly and was well-packaged. The necklace looks like it tangles easily, as one would expect with a necklace like this.
I bought this for a family member, and I was very pleasantly surprised at how nice it looked in person. I was worried that it might look a little cheap, but it definitely did not. It was really pretty, nice details, well made, and a good size. Not too small, but not too big either. It’s the perfect little charm necklace.
I bought this one for my wife, in size 5, and it fits perfectly. It came in a nice little presentation box and a small drawstring cloth bag for holding it. The finish seems finer than ordinary sterling silver, so I am assuming that there is enough rhodium nickel finish that it will not tarnish. I am uncertain if "rhodium nickel finish" means that it is electroplated, first with a layer of nickel to protect the rhodium plating bath from traces of dissolved copper and silver from the 0.925 sterling, and then plated with rhodium. In any case, the finish is very shiny, rather like chrome, and it has not changed in the short time it has been worn. This one was an extra anniversary present for her; she is quite pleased with it, and she has received many compliments on it. The stones look very good, too. I will probably buy her another design made by the Peora people.
Very pretty, but wish the chain was a bit longer. The color of the heart is not quite as shown. It’s a bit washed out looking.
The color on the piece is beautiful, to say the least. Its rich tones go well with a number of colors and styles of clothing, and I was pleasantly surprised that I didn’t need an extender to wear it – the adjustable chain is long enough for it to be loose, even on my 18" neck. The craftsmanship is quite good, though the ‘leaves’ look more like feathers to my eye.The only thing I wasn’t really expecting was that the earrings would be so heavy – they’re not obnoxiously so, but it was more than expected. I have pretty sensitive ears, so I was worried about them becoming painful, but I could wear them for a full 9 hour shift at work with no real issue.
The earrings are very nice and sparkle. The reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the stud is very short and difficult to fasten with the clip. I have not been able to wear them for that reason. I am thinking about taking them to a jeweler to have the stud lengthened and then the will probably be fine.
One of the stones was loose from its mounting. Taking it to a jeweler for repair.
Definitely not blue, look like cz’s. These don’t look like the photo or like tanzanites! Very disappointed, misrepresented.Do not waste your time!
Wow!!!! Theses are absolutely beautiful.A must in you jewelry collection. Goes great with jeans and switch it up to that little black dress. much prettier in person. .brought the black stud earrings to match .

Here's a new recipe I found in Cooking Light. I calculate them at 4 points each.
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine flour and the next 4 ingredients (flour through salt) in a large bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Make a well in center of flour mixture. Combine yogurt, butter, milk, and egg in a bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Add yogurt mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.
Place 12 foil cup liners in muffin cups; coat liners with cooking spray. Spoon 1 tablespoon batter into each liner. Top each with 1 teaspoon jam. Top evenly with the remaining batter. Combine 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; sprinkle over batter. Bake at 375� for 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove from pan; place on a wire rack.
I'm going to try these. I make a real strawberry bread that is very fattening, and this sounds close. Thanks!

(Citizen Star News) - 2014-03-29 - Hand in hand with the release of Jump Point #16 release that focuses on the Work In Progress revamped Idris, Chris Roberts released a surprise COMM-LINK declaring that the frequently controversial capital ship had been reclassified a size larger to Frigate. Many had argued that the increased size disclosed recently changed the ships classification. Apparently CIG agreed, but held off saying so until they were prepared to make the reclassification official. As Rob Irving said when asked, it is a Corvette until Chris Robert's says otherwise. CIG plans to design and deliver an actual Corvette at some point.
(Citizen Star News) - 2014-03-04 - Pardon the pun, but there was a bit of a kerfuffle over Idris crews following the 10th episode of Ten for the Chairman, in which Chris Roberts stated he really hadn't decided whether or not the Idris would be crew-able solo. Forums lit up with polls and threads with expressions of opinions one way or another. With the occasional heated exchange even.
Full disclosure: Author pledged Space Marshal (what is now called a "War Pack") so has an Idris-P.
Clearly the Idris is a big ship. We are now being told that it has grown to 240 meters in the hands of the Foundry 42 team, who've expanded it for better story telling for Squadron 42. It's listed in the ship specs page as 140 meters, although Jump Point issue #15 "Corvette Winter" disclosed that it had grown to 180 meters quite some time ago. Initial reveal of the ship design here on June 29th 2013, had it at 140 meters.
(Citizen Star News) - 2014-02-24 - Today we got a confirmation here of what many thought was an error: The Idris Corvette has grown to 240 meters in length as depicted in the Vanduul Size Comparison Chart.
Thank you Mike Northeast of the Squadron 42 team for the clarification.
I don't want to go too far off topic here - this is the SQ42 design thread after all. Essentially I have been working on the military Idris i.e. the one used in the SQ42 single player campaign. DISCLAIMER: The PU Idris' deck layout *may* change when the good folk over in the US take our version of the Idris and make it ready for the PU. Any questions regarding the PU Idris should be posted on the appropriate thread.
That said the MilSpec Idris does have captain and EXO quarters.

“A masterful account of the way science is revealing just how smart dogs can be."
“A masterful account of the way science is revealing just how smart dogs can be. Fascinating and highly readable.”--John Bradshaw.
The Companion Animal Psychology Book Club choice for December 2018 is The Genius of Dogs: How Dogs Are Smarter Than You Think by Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods.
""My dog can do that."
So said a young Brian Hare to his professor who was studying animal behavior - and a revolution in our scientific understanding of dog intelligence began. Specifically, Brian Hare's dog, Oreo, could read human gestures that monkeys were blind to. The years of research that followed took Hare around the world and changed forever what we know of how dogs think and what they understand. This book is the masterfully told story of t his revolution and the new riches it brings to our relationship with dogs.
We have learned more about how dogs think in the last decade than we have over the last century. Brian Hare, now director of the Duke Canine Cognition Center at Duke University, pioneered research that has proven dogs have a kind of genius for getting along with people that is unique in the animal kingdom. His seminal work has acquainted him with every kind of dog from the tiniest shelter puppy to the exotic New Guinea Singing Dog.
The dog genius revolution is transforming how we live and work with our canine friends, including how we train them. Does your dog feel guilt? Is she pretending she can't hear you? Does she want affection--or your sandwich? In The Genius of Dogs, Brian Hare and award-winning journalist and author Vanessa Woods lay out what the new cognitive science means for you in your daily life with your dog."

First, a tactile sensuality, followed by the sensuous impressions of the various textures, taking the observer high above the trees, conveying the languidness of the stones, the infinitely slow rhythm, that mineral and astringent taste of granite and salt that is specific to the wave-battered coastline of her island, Corsica. It evokes all the senses.

The quantity and quality of grass that is grown on a farm has a direct and positive impact on the profitability of the livestock enterprise.
But maximising grassland productivity is not just a case of re-seeding, or spreading more fertiliser. Instead, it requires an integrated approach because sward performance is determined by many factors: soil structure and condition, soil nutrient levels, re-seeding frequency and method, choice of seed mixture, and the appropriate and timely application of fertilisers and herbicides.
With all these inter-related factors to consider, are you sure you are getting the most from your grassland? Or is there scope for improvement?
Limagrain UK, and OPICO have pooled their expertise to form the Grassright Group, to show farmers how to take a more integrated ‘best practice’ approach to managing grassland and boosting its productivity.
As well as the technical information and advice that can be found on this website, the Grassright Group holds seminars and open days, and has published a variety of advisory literature and tools (see Publications).
We have also been working with a small number of farmers on grassland improvement projects. Details of the advice we give, and results from the specific activities undertaken, can be found on this website and in the farming press.
Spring grazing and silage yields are adversely affected by winter grazing with the length of time grazed over the colder months being correlated to the drop in yield. For this reason fields required for early spring production should ideally be shut off by December and not grazed over the rest of the winter.
Much can be done to reduce the impact of adverse winter weather on grass growth. Minimising wheeled traffic and controlling winter grazing can reduce damage to the sward and reduce compaction. Modern varieties are selected for improved winter hardiness but even they may not escape some damage during the harshest winters. To reduce the likelihood of winter kill, swards should be no more than 3-4cm in height going into the winter.
If you are carrying out autumn reseeding, nitrogen is not normally needed, except in low SNS situations. However, make sure the soil test is up-to-date, apply lime if needed and ensure P and K are applied according to the soil index. Any P and K can be deducted from the following season's requirement. In most parts of the country August is the latest month in the year that you can safely sow Lucerne and Red Clover as both these species require warm soil temperatures to germinate. Lucerne is well worth thinking about, particularly if we experience the drought in spring and early summer that seem to have become an annual feature. However Lucerne does require relatively light and free draining soils and should always be sown with an inoculant, either pre-inoculated with Dormal or added to the seed at the point of drilling, such as Hi-stick. August is also a good time to drill pelleted white clover such as Cloverplus in to existing grass leys where clover may have been taken out by herbicide use. Ensure the sward is cut or grazed low and is relatively open and then the seed should be in contact with soil and moisture.
The correct time to sward-lift or slit will depend more on the ground conditions and weather forecast, than a specific date on the calendar. However, it is certainly worth planning ahead and going out with a spade to assess what will need to be done, either now or later. Having dug out a soil sod to look for compaction, it's also a good opportunity to assess the types of grasses that are in it. By separating out each plant and placing into piles according to the different grass types, the percentage of good quality grasses present can be calculated. Where there are good levels of productive grasses, but the ley is underperforming, production can be boosted by rejuvenating/renovating the sward by overseeding with an OPICO harrow and seeder, without going to the lengths of a complete reseed.
In soil assessments carried out over recent months there have been high levels of soil compaction. Alarmingly, this year there is also a high level of leatherjackets (the larvae of the crane fly) – not only are they greater in number, they are also bigger in size for the time of year.
The eggs from the adult crane fly (300 eggs per adult) are laid between June and September in grassland and will hatch into larvae within two to three weeks. These enter the sward and start feeding on the grasses thus stealing yield. Where leatherjacket populations are higher than usual, consult with your agronomist who can advise what to spray to control them.
In most parts of the UK, May is the big month for first cut silage. To achieve the highest ME you must cut early; this is especially desirable for dairy cows, whereas for dry stock and beef cattle higher dry matter yields and a slightly lower D value might be acceptable. Grazing paddocks should not be allowed to get too strong. In May grass is often in surplus, so if you don't have enough stock to keep on top of it, take some grass out of the grazing block for silage, so that the remaining grazing areas are of high palatability and digestibility to maintain animal performance.
Now is a good time to harrow all grass leys. Harrowing will remove trash, improve air to roots and stimulate grass growth. Soil temperatures are now suitable for seeding to take place. If overseeding, make sure leys have been grazed tightly or cut to reduce competition from the existing sward. Harrowing prior to seeding can help create a tilth for the new seed and is essential in denser swards to achieve good seed to soil contact. Use seed treated with a bio-stimulant such as Headstart to help establishment. Whether it's a full reseed or overseed, rolling is essential. Inspect fields for weed, and choose appropriate herbicide. Only apply when weeds are actively growing. Apply sulphur to second cut swards at 40 kg SO3/ha; potash is likely to be needed on silage aftermaths unless slurry has been applied. Grazing swards will benefit from some sulphur too.

“It's such an honor to be a part of the grand sci-fi tapestry through STAR TREK. I don't think there's a more influential property out there with its countless movies, TV series, books, comics, shirts, and even cooking aprons! STAR TREK is part of a universal language of entertainment that nearly every corner of the world knows in some form or another. And with that power, the stories that have come from the TREK world have tried to illustrate ideals that help to keep our real world intact.
“And, as an added bonus, the show has been an inspiration for a lot of the technology we use today. To be trusted to take on the iconic role of Spock is a responsibility that I'm happy to take on because it allows me to show respect for the STAR TREK universe through a medium I've been in almost my whole life.
I just finished watching the first episode. I am flabbergasted. I couldn't even tell that it wasn't an original episode except for the obvious, the voices and actresses/actors were all different.
You all captured the spirit, mannerisms, themes, literally everything that made the Original Star Trek what it is.
I think you guys must have one or some of the original creative staff helping you out because it's hard to believe that an amateur fan-fiction group could make a Star Trek episode so perfectly like an original episode that as far as I could tell, there were no discernible difference, again, aside from the obvious.
The Phase II people can't even hold a candle to what you guys were able to do here, and they even got Koenig and Takei to help them out. They got noticeably better once Koenig showed up, and they did an excellent Sulu once, Takei showed up, their Sulu probably being the single strongest actor on Phase II. But sadly, I couldn't keep watching it once they went with the gay stuff. That's not Star Trek, the original. In fact, there were very few, if any sexual innuendos in the original. Certainly, Kirk flirted and was a bit of a romantic, as were most of the main cast, but they never portrayed them as sleeping around or whatever, but rather being their company for whatever excursion the episode was about.
Thank you for giving Spock's character depth and grace. I feel you honor Nimoy, and other actors far more by portraying your interpretation of Spock, rather than mocking someone else's performance & imitating.
I was very entertained by the Lolani episode. Perhaps because it is so preachy. All the expensive special effects in the world, can never compete with acting, comraderie, and plot development.
And of course thank you for keeping the Science Fiction genre alive. It is the greatest genre of fiction to the real fan.

A deal to sell off development rights to land on the west side of BC Place Stadium is imminent says operator PavCo.
The deal, which will take up 700,000 square feet of the 1.4 million square feet of development space the pavilion corporation (PavCo) has available to it, would be on a 75-year lease and will likely see both residential and commercial development on the site. Revenue from the land rights will help pay for the building’s $458-million new roof.
PavCo, the Crown corporation that operates BC Place and the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre, is in the midst of a $565-million total refurbishment of the 26-year-old stadium, which includes the new retractable roof and $55 million in interior improvements ahead of the opening ceremonies for the 2010 Winter Olympics next month.
The provincial government will finance the $458-million roof project with a 40-year loan, and Podmore said the sale of development rights around the stadium is key to PavCo’s business case for the project, which is designed to extend BC Place’s life for up to another 50 years.
This entry was posted in Vancouver Real Estate News and tagged deal, development, land, stadium on January 21, 2010 .

QUADRANTAL, or AMPHORA QUADRANTAL, or AMPHORA only, was the principal Roman measure of capacity for fluids. All the Roman measures of capacity were founded on weight, and thus the amphora was originally the space occupied by •eighty pounds of wine (Festus, s.v.).
Sacravere Jovi Tarpeio in monte Quirites."
A standard model of the Amphora was kept with great care in the temple of Jupiter in the Capitol, and was called amphora Capitolina (Priscian, l.c.; Capitolin. Maximin. 4). There still exists a congius which professes to have been made according to this standard. [Congius.] For a full account of this congius, see H. Hase, Abhandl. d. Ber. Akad. 1824.
From the preceding remarks it will be seen that the only safe mode of computing the content of the amphora in terms of our own measures of capacity is by deducing it from the value already assigned to the Roman pound, on the authority chiefly of the coins. That value may be taken, in round numbers, at 5050 grains. Now the imperial gallon contains 70,000 grains. Therefore p980 the Roman amphora = (5050 × 80/70000) = •5·77 imperial gallons, or a little more than 5¾ gallons, or than 5 gallons and 6 pints. If we were to make the computation directly from the congius of Vespasian, we should have a somewhat higher value; which, as has already been shown under Pondera, arises probably from a source of error. On the other hand, the computation from the Roman cubic foot gives a somewhat lower value [Pondera]; but, as already intimated, it is very doubtful whether the true content of the amphora was exactly a cubic foot, and in fact, if Böckh be right, it was a little more. At all events, the value of •5 gallons 6 pints is quite near enough to the truth for all the purposes of the classical student. (See the Tables.) On the other hand, if we were to reckon the quadrantal at exactly 6 gallons, and consequently the sextarius, which is the small unit of the system, at exactly 1 pint (instead of ·96) we should obtain a system so extremely simple, and with so small a limit of error (namely less than 4/100 in a pint), that it would probably be allowable to adopt it in the ordinary reading of the classic authors; indicating, however, the small error, by prefixing in each case the words a little less than; and correcting it, when the numbers are large, by taking from the result 1/25th of itself.
1 The Romans were aware that there is a difference in the specific gravity of wine and of water, and in the different sorts of each, but, for the sake of simplicity, they regarded them as of the same specific gravity; when, however, they wished a very exact determination, they used rain water (Böckh, c3).
Ligula (q.v.) is the Latin word for a spoon; the attentive reader — I prefer to think that's a pleonasm rather than an oxymoron — will find that those ligulae are equivalent to ⅔ Tbp., or 2 Tsp., in U. S. kitchen measurement.

Worm pulled into the small parking lot of Pezeski’s Tire & Oil, cleaned up, freshly scrubbed, headache waning. And a hundred dollars in his pocket, a gift his coach called it.
The 7-Eleven sign from half a block away caught his eye. He should have stopped there first and bought himself some smokes. Well, there’d be plenty of time after he filled out the application. Plenty of time. Worm had nowhere to go and the rest of his life to get there.
Pushing open the front door to a jingle of small bells hanging from the inside knob, Worm unintentionally announced his arrival. The small waiting room with two tired chairs, occupied by a young mother and her daughter, was separated from the back of the shop by a gray door and a glass paneled office. Behind the glass, more secure than a bank teller, sat the receptionist, a homely middle-aged woman with bouffant hair, pale skin, and red nails. She was busy with a magazine.
The woman, Sheila was on the nameplate, looked up and smiled wanly as Worm made eye contact. “Watcha want, hun?” she asked around the smacking of her gum. Her screechy voice escaped through the opening at the bottom of the window.
A form appeared at the opening, pulled from an out of sight file cabinet, and he reached for it automatically. “Have a seat, hun, and fill this out. Give it back when you’re done.” She pushed a pen through the slot as well.
Worm turned around. The woman and toddler remained where they were and stared at him blankly. Worm frowned and then moved to a small table scattered with car magazines, tire brochures, and a Gideon Bible. He pushed them aside, knelt down, and began to fill out the form.
“Linger.” Worm’s best friend, worst enemy, best friend, now status unknown disappeared into the back of the shop. This would be interesting. He’d swum with Bobby; he guessed he could work with him as well.
Worm got up and handed the completed application back to the receptionist through the opening in the glass panel. A glass panel he’d encounter again and again throughout his life. A glass panel whose primary purpose was to restrict those on the outside from getting in and those on the inside, even those who wanted to be in most likely, from ever getting out.
Thanks. This scene is just after he gets kicked out (literally) of his home by his step dad; then his swim coach sets him up with an interview at the tire place.
Thanks. One of the few excerpts that doesn't have "language" lol.

Click below to read the newest edition of Behind the Scenes. Please keep praying, especially for the necessary teachers for next school year at Santa Cruz Christian Learning Center.
This was my favorite place. I wish I had gotten more pictures so you could see how beautiful it was. Like I said, Abby and I arrived a day early, but we spent most of the day resting. We’d venture out for a meal, walk around town a bit, and then head back. I worked with the hotel to get everything ready for the big group (also arriving at 3:30 am) and moved into a new room that I would share with Debbie. Everyone arrived safely, although there had been a few scary moments with some girls being followed to the bathroom and a boy’s backpack getting stolen. There were eager to tell me all about what I had missed of day 2 in Uyuni, but mostly they were just tired. So, we bundled them off to bed and told them to get ready to see Sucre later that morning.
Not quite so historical, but interesting nonetheless, were the zebras that were directing traffic. Don’t ask me why.
And so our journey ends with us catching the flight back to Santa Cruz the next day and then sleeping as much as possible before school on Monday. Even with the sleep, we all were exhausted but happy come Monday morning.
We traveled by bus to Oruro and then by train to Uyuni, arriving VERY late and trying to get some chicken for supper. In the meantime, one of our students who had troubling breathing in La Paz because of the altitude was having more trouble in Uyuni. So Debbie and another student took her to the clinic to get some oxygen. After many phone conversations home and talking between us, we decided that I would take this student on to Sucre a day early in the hopes that the lower altitude would help her feel much better. Before we left though, we were able to spend a day in the Salt Flats with the rest of the class. The flats were so bright it looked like a snow covered paradise. The sky was crystal clear and the whole day was an adventure! To get the salt, the people will come and pile it up, leave it for a few days for the water to drain out, and then shovel the piles into the back of a truck.
On our tour in SUVs, we also saw a salt hotel and the flags of many different visitors.
It was fun to see the kids look for their “other” home country among the flags.
When it was time for lunch, our tour guides took us to a rock island and prepared picnic lunches on salt tables and chairs.
We got to climb around a bit, view more of the surroundings, and even see a baby llama before it was time for my student and I to head back to town.
On our way back, Abby and I were able to stop and see a Train Graveyard full of rusted-out engines, cabooses, and other wagons. I would have liked to climb around, but didn’t know how safe the area would be.
More on Sucre in Senior Trip, Part 3!
From La Paz to Uyuni to Sucre, Debbie Miranda and I took 20 Seniors and a male chaperone all over Bolivia for their Senior Trip. We started on Sunday morning, April 7th by flying to La Paz. Some of us chose to get acclimated slowly while others chose to go rappelling off the side of our hotel. Don’t worry – those kids had parental permission, and we checked out the company’s equipment before any of our kids got near the ledge.
As we finished our time in La Paz, some chose to go paint-balling 🙂 Others of us went to the zoo and the Valle de la Luna. While the paint-ballers had fun, they didn’t have anything like the natural beauty that we got! The Andean Condor is Bolivia’s national bird – the Andes make a perfect backdrop, don’t you think?
And in the Valle de la Luna (Valley of the Moon) we were serenaded with typical music from an atypical musician. He played and danced and sang on the edge of the rock face. It was amazing.
