Crimes Of Passion (1984)
Forget Dracula and Frankenstein, Ken Russell's Crimes of Passion is a real horror film, about horrors of the human mind that drive people to the depths of degradation before they can find the true nature of their own humanity.
It is shocking, brutal, repellent and sexually graphic. But it's like being in the same room with a poisonous snake – You can't bear to look, but you wouldn't dare close your eyes for a single second. You're afraid of what it might do next.
Crimes of Passion was slaughtered by most critics and dismissed by many filmgoers as just another slice of raunch and sleaze.
Some bypassed it as just another Tony Perkins psycho flick. It is all of those things, but a great deal more and at the heart of it is a titanic performance by Kathleen Turner that is positively staggering.
What is it about? That's the hard part. On the surface, it seems conventional enough.
An attractive sportswear designer by day, Joanna Crane (Kathleen Turner) is a stylish, chic, compulsive, ambitious career girl. By night, she's China Blue, a gaudy, peroxide-wigged, kewpie doll prostitute – A human garbage receptacle for all the problems and sicknesses of a neurotic world.
"How low can you get?" asks one of her slimy clients. "As low as you can afford," she snaps.
Through plot contrivances too irrelevant to go into, Joanna's double life is observed by Bobby Grady (John Laughlin), an unhappy square married to a drudge of a wife, and the Reverend Shayne (Tony Perkins), a mad religious street comer zealot who makes her his own personal target for execution in order to cleanse his soul of sin.
Distraught over his own loveless marriage and desperate for the kind of sexual relationship he's never known, Bobby plunges into a world of Quaaludes, kinky fantasies, and sex toys, while the preacher goes berserk.
It's the killer-stalks-prostitute subplot that turns Crimes of Passion into 'Psycho Goes to Church' and eventually reduces the movie to the level of a conventional thriller.
But Crimes of Passion has a lot more on its mind. Here is a girl who submerges herself in a midnight world of self-deprecation because she can't find fulfilment or trust or compassion in the reality of a normal life.
Here is a man who has been living a lie, thinking his marital relations were safe and satisfying, who finds the sexual happiness he lacks in a girl who deals in fantasy.
How these two people find love by stripping away their protective veneers and doing something with and for each other instead of to each other in bed is the part of the film that moves people.
No other film has dealt so honestly with the effect of pornography and sexual permissiveness on society: Why are we drowning in pornography on every street corner? Why are more housewives becoming part-time prostitutes? Why are singles bars so popular? Why are child abuse and kiddie porn the leading news topics of the day? Why are more kids turning to drugs?
For the answers, you must face some unpleasant facts about the lives we live today in a frenetic society that often seems to be going insane all around us.
The people who made this film must have known going in that it would never appeal to a broad or universal audience. In that respect, it is courageous and destined for controversy. It's not the kind of picture you can recommend easily or even discuss at polite dinner parties.
But it's an amazing film. In many ways, it's revolutionary, too, forcing us to face repellent facts about sex the way A Clockwork Orange (1971) forced us to face our own feelings about violence.
The actors are first-rate, but you will always remember Kathleen Turner. There is probably no other actress with the range, ability, and emotional depth to carry it off.
At Kathleen's toughest, a loving wife pays her to bring one last bit of satisfaction to her sick and crippled husband, who is dying of cancer.
The poor man collapses in the prostitute's arms in tears, and the mixture of human suffering, compassion and terror in her face is unforgettable. She's gorgeous, vulnerable, funny, both dream girl and slut of sluts – Often all at the same time.
To defend Crimes of Passion is to invite ridicule, but its powerful message (that it's all right to be afraid if you can learn to share your fears with someone else instead of losing yourself in fantasy) is one to applaud.
Despite the wacko subplot and Ken Russell's hysterical direction (subtlety is not his strength and never has been), it's a movie that, for all its flaws, is about the way we live now.
To avoid it just because you've got a weak stomach is like avoiding the six o'clock news because you might hear something nasty.

The Punter's In-Play Blog: Woodland putting well enough to win again
Gary Woodland – in-contention in Vegas
There's just one round to go at the Shriners Hospital for Children Open on the PGA Tour so read Steve's final in-running thoughts for the week here...
"Tony Finau and Patrick Cantlay, who were both well-fancied before the off, and my pre-event pick, Chesson Hadley, are all contenders if the top two struggle but Woodland looks the value given the flatstick's behaving and I've recycled some of the Spaun stakes on him at 16.015/1."
10:25 - December 05, 2017
Windy weather has created a very different Shriners Hospital for Children Open than we're used to. The joint leaders after three rounds, J.J Spaun and Beau Hossler, sit on nine-under-par and that's the highest leading third-round total by six strokes since the tournament went to one course in 2008. Here are the latest standings with prices to back at 10:20.
J.J Spaun -9 3.8514/5
Beau Hossler -9 4.03/1
Tony Finau -6 6.611/2
Patrick Cantlay -5 13.5
Gary Woodland -5 16.015/1
Chesson Hadley -5 17.5
Tom Hoge -5 30.029/1
-4 and 55.054/1 bar
A ten foot par putt on the 18th yesterday kept J.J Spaun tied for the lead with Beau Hossler and it's hard to know whether they're far enough clear given the calibre of the chasers and that both men are looking to get off the mark on the PGA Tour.
Hossler's bogey-free 66 in very tricky conditions yesterday was a cracking effort and the best round of the day but can he back that up today with the chance of his first title on the line? Although he didn't score brilliantly, Spaun did well to hold it all together yesterday and having the experience of the pressure of the lead yesterday could well stand him in good stead today. The market is right to slightly favour him over Hossler and third round leaders have great record here but the chasing pack is exceptionally strong and I can't help but think both leaders look a little vulnerable.
I thought Spaun was a great price on Friday night and so had a reasonable wager but I've layed a bit back now and the one that catches the eye today is Gary Woodland...
Woodland enjoys Nevada and he has a very good record in the Barracuda Championship in Reno. His name cropped up fairly quickly when researching the event but with putting so important here, it didn't take me long to discount him. Woodland's tee to green game is nearly always very good but his putting can be awful. So far this week, it hasn't been though and according to the in-running stats, he's putting as well as anyone. He ranks 10th for Strokes Gained Putting for the week so far and that's an awful lot better than usual.
Tony Finau and Patrick Cantlay, who were both well-fancied before the off, and my pre-event pick, Chesson Hadley, are all contenders if the top two struggle but Woodland looks the value given the flatstick's behaving and I've recycled some of the Spaun stakes on him at 16.015/1.
Nicolas Colsaerts seemed to keep hold his nerve well in the early stages of round three of the Turkish Airlines Open but having been matched at a low of 1.910/11, his challenge started to unravel when he found water on the 11th with his approach. He went on to drop two more strokes and after a disappointing two-over-par 73, he now trails by two. Here are the latest standings with prices to back at 16:10.
Shane Lowry -14 4.03/1
Kiradech Aphibarnrat -14 4.3100/30
Justin Rose -12 4.94/1
Nicolas Colsaerts-12 15.5
Padraig Harrington -12 16.5
Thomas Pieters -11 18.5
-10 and 40.039/1 bar
A combined bet on the front two, Shane Lowry and Kiradech Aphibarnrat, currently pays a shade over even money but that doesn't interest me at all.
Lowry has only ever led or co-led twice and he was under immense pressure on both occasions. Back in 2009, he won the Irish Open as an amateur, having begun round four tied for the lead, but he had to wait seven years to lead again after 54 holes and it didn't go well. He led the 2016 US Open by four strokes but he ended the event three adrift of Dustin Johnson and it's taken him a while to get over the disappointment.
In addition to his homeland success, Lowry has won the Portugal Masters in 2012 and the WGC Bridgestone Invitational three years later and on both occasions he came from slightly off the pace. He trailed by four in Portugal and two in Ohio.
Lowry isn't especially prolific and he was very disappointing on the last occasion he held a chance to win - at the BMW PGA at Wentworth in May. Lowry eventually finished sixth behind Alex Noren but he looked a likely winner when he stood over a short birdie opportunity at the 14th hole. He was matched at just 3.02/1 before missing the putt and driving out of bounds on the very next tee and that performance left a bit of an impression on me. I'm happy to swerve him here.
If you knock on the door regularly enough it will eventually open is an adage heard plenty of times when watching golf but the more times the knock goes unanswered the less faith the knocker tends to have and I just wonder whether this will be another missed opportunity for Aphibarnrat. He's been in quite brilliant form for a while now but he threw away the KLM Open in September and he hit 1.42/5 at the Italian Open last month before making a complete mess of the 16th hole to eventually finish second. His excellent form deserves a victory but you don't always get what you deserve in this game and I wouldn't be surprised if he came up short again tomorrow.
Colsaerts will feel freer chasing tomorrow and I've backed him back to cover my lay. I don't really expect him to win but it made sense to shave off a fraction of the profits to enjoy a stress-free Sunday - especially given I'm going to the Man City -Arsenal game and won't find it easy to trade.
I'd be very happy to see Padraig Harrington back up today's low third round to take the title, as I backed him after round one, but of the leading contenders, the one I like is last week's winner, Justin Rose. Of all the frontrunners, Rose looks the most likely to deliver again tomorrow but I'm happy to leave him alone too.
Low scores are perfectly possible here and I can see us getting an off the pace winner. There are six players tied for seventh and four of the lead and six tied for 13th and five back. It's almost inconceivable that none of those 12 will go low tomorrow and the one I like is the defending champ, Thorbjørn Olesen.
The third round of the Turkish Airlines Open is in progress and I'll be back at the close of play with a look at that one. Nothing's changed since yesterday's update but I did get another small bet matched overnight. I tried to lay the clear leader, Nicolas Colsaerts, in the top-five and top-ten markets and also in the each-way market but all I was able to get matched, at a price I wanted to lay, was a small bet in the each-way market at 2.829/5.
The action is currently live on Sky Sports and Colsaerts has just parred the first two holes.
Over at the Shriners Hospital for Children Open, the second round hasn't quite finished (due to darkness) but the scene has been set. Kelly Kraft trails JJ Spaun by three strokes and he still has two and half holes to play but I'd be surprised if that has a huge bearing on the market. I couldn't establish where he was on the par five 16th hole - the shot tracker on the PGA Tour website ambiguously states he's played his third shot from the fairway but it fails to inform where it's landed. He may well pick up a birdie there but 17 and 18 are no pushovers so I suspect Spaun will begin round three at least two clear. Here's the current leaderboard with prices to back at 09:30.
J.J Spaun -11 3.613/5
Kelly Kraft -8 12.5 (played 15 holes of round two)
Robert Garrigus -7 17.016/1
Patton Kizzire -6 16.015/1
Aaron Baddeley -6 22.021/1
Whee Kim -5 30.029/1
Stephan Jaeger -5 55.054/1
This isn't a strong leaderboard by any means and I fancy Spaun is a cracking price at around the 5/2 mark. As stated in the preview, six of the last ten winners have been in front after 36 holes so leading at halfway here is a big plus. Two of the four winners that weren't in front had trailed by a solitary stroke and Ben Martin, the winner in 2014, was still only tied for fifth and two off the lead through 36 holes. Being up with the pace is usually essential.
Spaun won nicely enough on the Web.com Tour last August when tied for the lead through 36 holes and he may well take some catching. I managed to get matched at an average of 3.711/4 last night but anywhere around the 3.55/2 mark looks more than fair.
Back-to-back seven-under-par 64s have seen Nicolas Colsaerts ease four clear at the Turkish Airlines Open with two rounds to play. Here are the latest standings with prices to back at 16:00.
Nicolas Colsaerts -14 2.789/5
Eddie Pepperell -10 8.415/2
Kiradech Aphibarnrat -9 11.521/2
Matthew Fitzpatrick -8 12.011/1
Shane Lowry -8 14.013/1
Matthew Southgate -8 44.043/1
Stephen Gallacher -8 46.045/1
Lee Westwood -7 36.035/1
Peter Uihlein -6 40.039/1
Thomas Pieters -6 44.043/1
Soren Kjeldsen -6 60.059/1
Jordan Smith -6 80.079/1
Thorbjorn Olesen was six clear at this stage 12 months ago before going on to win by three but it wasn't all plain sailing and I don't suspect it will be for Colsaerts this year either. Four strokes is a big lead but there's a long way to go yet and he looks vulnerable to me.
He's never led by this many but Colsaerts has led or been tied for the lead at this stage eight times previously and he's only gone on to win once - at the Dutch Futures event on the Challenge Tour in 2009. He's only ever won twice on the European Tour and the second of those two victories was in the now defunct Volvo Match Play event five years ago so he's only actually won one stroke play tournament - the 2011 Volvo China Open.
On the last eight occasions that he's been within a couple of the lead at halfway he's gone backwards and he just doesn't inspire any confidence. At the Alfred Dunhill Links a month ago he sat third and two off the lead through 36 holes but shot rounds of 73 and 71 to finish 25th! In July, he fell from sixth to 19th with weekend rounds of 78 and 68 at the Scottish Open and it just goes on and on. Twice last year he sat within one of the lead before finishing 22nd and 27th and in 2015 he fell from third to 20th at the Italian Open.
How he starts tomorrow will be crucial. It is possible for even the flakiest players to get far enough clear that they relax and just go further clear but any sort of shaky start could lead to an out and out implosion and he looks worth taking on. He's drifted since the close of play and I can see why. I've layed him at 2.6213/8 and I'm also going to look to lay him in the place markets.
My bets have been poor so far, with my each-way selection, Peter Uihlein, who's tied for ninth, fairing best but Padraig Harrington, who I backed after round one, did supply a bit of a magic on the second hole this morning. How's this for an up-and-down!

Over at the Shriners Hospital for Children Open, the morning starters were greatly advantaged yesterday as the wind picked up in the afternoon. Sod's law, of course, dictated that all my four picks were drawn in the afternoon so I'm behind the eight ball there too.
The second round has begun and it looks wide open so I'm going to leave that alone for now and take a look at the close of play.
I thought I was going to have a good first day when my first glance at the Turkish Airlines Open leaderboard revealed one of my three picks, Lucas Bjerregaard, at the top following three straight birdies but it all went a bit pear-shaped after that and all three of my picks look to have too much on their plate already.
Dan Geraghty's each-way pick, Haydn Porteous, shares the early lead with Joost Luiten and Nicolas Colsaerts but the one I like is Mike Norman's pick, Tyrell Hatton, who trails the leading trio by three strokes after a four-under-par 67 to kick off the tournament.
I was lucky enough to get a small bet matched at 11.010/1 at the close of play but he's a fair price at anywhere around the 10.09/1 mark. His form of late has been incredible and after a decent start I can't see any reason why he won't contend. He was a fair price at around the 12/1 mark before the off so I was more than happy to take just a few ticks shorter now that he sits inside the top-ten and ties after round one.
In addition to the Hatton bet, I've thrown a few pounds at Padraig Harrington at an insultingly big 34.033/1. The three-time major winner won the Portugal Masters this time last year so he's no back number just yet and I thought that was big enough given he trails by only a stroke after the first day's play.
The Shriners Hospital for Children Open, which I previewed here, has only just kicked off and all of my picks have been assigned an afternoon tee-time today.

Miss Clare Palmer
I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology, Physiology and Philosophy (PPP) at St John's College, Oxford University. I then worked as a research assistant at the Oxford centre for Human Brain Activity (OHBA) under the guidance of Professor Kia Nobre and Dr Susannah Murphy working on cognition and perception in old age. Following this I completed my PhD at University College London (UCL) in sensorimotor control and EEG under the supervision of Dr James Kilner and was funded by the 4 Year Wellcome Trust PhD in Neuroscience. I am now working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Lab of Action and Body at Royal Holloway University of London with Professor Manos Tsakiris researching the role of interoception in the representation of the bodily self and social cognition.
I am interested in predictive coding and how the brain integrates interoceptive, exteroceptive and proprioceptive information for perception and higher level cognition using behavioural paradigms and psychophysiological methods such as EEG, fMRI and ECG. More specifically, I am currently researching new methods to accurately and objectively measure interoceptive awareness and aim to understand how individual differences in interoceptive processing can explain differences in self-awareness, social cognition and resilience to mental health.
Going at the heart of social cognition: is there a role for interoception in self-other distinction?


In your family, do you call your oldest sibling Anh Hai or Chị Hai? Or maybe you have an aunt that you have always called Bác Tư, Aunt 4, never knowing her real name.
Why does Vietnamese culture have the practice of giving nicknames based on birth order? It is not to simply keep track of how many children there are in a family. We learn from Professor Quyên Di of the University of California, Los Angeles that this numbering system is related to social hierarchy and close bonds in a family. There are also regional differences in how this nickname is used.
What would your nickname be according to this numbered system?


Three days after Easter and I'm still detoxing; what about you?
I'm going to just go ahead and put Psalm 34:8 on this one: "Taste and see the LORD is good." We certainly tasted. We certainly saw.
My parents along with my brother Wes and sister-in-law Kaitlin came to visit for Easter weekend and we had a perfect weekend together.
While the the sugary treats were indeed delicious (along with the ham!), we received most gratefully a bite of summer sun to warm our bare arms and faces.
With the hope of flying a kite (Arie's winter-long request), we traveled to both a park and then a beach in search of a breeze.
It never came. Arie, however, ran with unrestrained glee, dragging a landed kite through the grass behind him.
The beach was fantastic. Shrinking mounds of ice and snow guarded the shore and the biting waters behind them. The air was so warm we could have imagined it was July with our eyes closed, yet as we approached those frozen barriers the air cooled so quickly it was as if we had opened the door to a refrigerator!
While this weekend was a summer-like exception, I have to be honest and tell you that I don't really like spring. Yes I'm glad it's not winter, but it feel almost like the cruelest of seasons: tantalizing us with the hope of summer and then sending us reeling back with those cursed cold fronts. Plus spring is wet and muddy and often smells like mold and earth worms.
This year Easter felt like spring to me. It felt like hope. It also felt like unmet longing. In my faith tradition we talk about something called the "already but not yet." At Easter we celebrate what God has already done for us in Christ: forgiven us, restored us, redeemed us. Yet the full healing power of his sacrifice has not yet been realized. Wars have not yet ended. The hungry have not yet been filled. Disease has not yet been cured. I wait to see if my empty womb will ever be filled with child. We're in spring. We wait in eager expectation for the summer of our faith, when Jesus returns again to do away with all this brokenness and make all things new.
I long for that day when my empty womb will be made more than insignificant as my whole being is flooded full with the worthiness of of the Lamb. I ache to see every knee bow down to my Savior! I am desperate to fall down with unrestrained worship.
It's something of a paradox, isn't it? The way I feel simultaneous full and hollow imagining that day. Already but not yet. Winter behind us, summer before us, we're living day by day as faithfully as we can in our temporary spring.
Thinking of you during this time! Glad things are warming up in your area.

Updated: February 19, 2018 by Claudia
Workshop for young women on the subject of education, self-confidence and courage to do what they desire to do.
Moderation: Hamnson Gaye, Myrtle Bowier and Sam Holt.
During a period of several weeks, around 30 young women between the ages of 16 and 24 were recruited from the surrounding residential areas around the SD Cooper Road Community and motivated to attend and actively participate in this workshop. The event was dedicated to the following four topics:
self-esteem and respect
sexual harassment and abuses
dealing with advantages and dangers of the Internet and social media
creativity and self-confidence
As a trainer for the topics mentioned, two proven subject matter experts were available. Healthcare expert and BTFS lecturer, Ms. Oretha Slocum, lectured on the first two areas (self-esteem and sexual harassment) in her usual dedicated way, while Pastor Sumo V. Kovah (Masters in Education) talked about the benefits and dangers of social media and education in a more and more digitalised world. A welcome guest was also a representative of the Liberian National Pollce, in person of Superintendent Blanyon Himmie, Community Service Section.
The main purpose of the workshop was to promote the sense of togetherness of young women; learn to assert themselves in everyday life; to be able to say no and demand respect when respect for women is lacking. Furthermore, that problems – of whatever kind – better in the collective than alone can be processed and solved. The young women were encouraged to actively seek contact with our office whenever they face challenges.
Five of the young women attracted attention through their active participation and are invited to participate in working groups in activities to promote the local community. To that end, our foundation's founder, Myrtle Bowier, gave an impressive closing speech, picturing to young women what can be achieved if they believe in themselves and use their talents actively.

BTFS Advisor Markus Blatter: My heart is dancing when I see a child's smile
During my stay in Monrovia / Liberia early November 2017, representing our foundation, I enjoyed to attend a social event at the Immanuel Christian Academy at S.D. Cooper Road in Paynesville, where I was invited to distribute 320 balls on behalf of the Swiss foundation myball.ch. For this purpose, all students were gathered together in the church in front of the school. After a short speech on my part and with wholehearted greetings from Switzerland, we were able to hand over a ball to each of all children present. The feeling of joy was overwhelming among the children and also the teachers. First of all, I distributed felt-tip pens to the teachers so that they could use them to write the individual names of the children on the balls. I will never forget the colorful splendor and the laughter of the children with their bright eyes. The joy triggered by these balls in the 300 or so children was limitless. Many thanks to the myball.ch foundation for bringing wonderful smiles on children's faces.

"Believe In Yourselves" – Swiss Retired Police Captain Calls On Liberian Youth
The youth of Liberia have been encouraged to believe in their passion, strength, motivation, skills and talents. "Everybody has talent; but you need to believe in it, you need to use it, and not give-up", a retired Police Captain, Felix Walz (Flomo), Founder and President of the Bowier Trust Foundation Switzerland has asserted. Writes Augustus Nimley alias Media King.
The retired Police Captain made the assertion in an exclusive interview with Global News Network Liberia (GNN) recently at the end of a one-day symposium on teenage pregnancy and its associated dangers in Paynesille, Liberia. The symposium brought together students from several schools in Paynesville.

Liberia's Teenagers Cautioned Against Teenage Pregnancy
Paynesville – Reflecting on the topic 'Teenage Pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD)', registered mid-wife Oretha Slocum thrilled her audience when she outlined factors responsible for teenage pregnancy in the country.
Report by Kennedy L. Yangian klyangian@frontpageafricaonline.com
She spoke on Sunday February 26, 2017 at a one day seminar organized by the Switzerland based NGO, Browier Trust Foundation, at the Immanuel Church School in the SKD Community.
The first major factor she listed as being responsible for teenage pregnancy is lack of job for the parents.
Madam Slocum also revealed that broken homes also play another important role as it leaves many children with no parental care.
She called on teenagers to take advantage of sex education. According to Slocum, the effect of teenage pregnancy could be medical complication because the body of a teenager is not ready for pregnancy.
"Girls you should learn to stop asking boys for gifts and stop going around those different guys because your action will encourage them to come around you," said Madam Slocum.
Hawa Morris, 15, told FrontPage Africa shortly after Madam Slocum's presentation that she took interest in the pieces of advice offered by the nurse.
"As you are aware, most of the teenage girls love material things and go out to sell themselves but as a student wanting a brighter future, I will take the mid-wife advice seriously," said Morris.
Prior to Madam Slocum's presentation, many speakers spoke on different topics to include waste management, PTA involvement in student education and community policing.
Felix Walz, a Swiss national and retired Police captain who served in UNMIL and now the President of Bowier Trust Foundation stated that after his retirement from UNMIL, he returned to his homeland and formed the foundation named in honor of a class room teacher, Myrtle Bowier, because of her dedicated service to the teaching profession.
He stated that while working in the country as security personnel, he realized that there was a gap between the police and the community and therefore form the foundation in order to work with the community through various programs.
Walz said the foundation was duly registered in January 2017 and since then; it has targeted 12 communities to carry out its programs.
"Liberia's challenges are big. The country has a potential. What it needs is to have someone to help it move forward, especially institutional capacity building," said Walz.

Member of BTFS Liberia Management Team organises Soccer Tournament in Saye Town Community Monrovia Liberia
On 11 and 12 February 2017, a football tournament was organized by the local youth organization "Progressive Youth for Change " with the help of our BTFS Liberia team, Sam Holt jun. (our initiative youth representative). The occasion took place in memory of the dead or killed young people of the Saye-Town Community. According to the local tradition, a leap year such as 2017 serves to commemorate all deceased youths of the municipality. It is about the cohesion of young people. For this reason, a football match with a total of 8 teams from around Saye-Town Community was organized. On the first day the qualifying matches took place. The final game of the two best teams on the following day, Sunday, February 12, 2017, was supported by about 300 spectators with great enthusiasm and the players were cheered. Private sponsors and the Bowier Trust Foundation Switzerland donated a total of around US $ 450. This allowed 20 bags with each 30 small "water bags", 4 packs of "bottled water" for invited guests, as well as a number of "soft drinks". Two policemen from the Liberia National Police, who live in the town of Saye-town, voluntarily provided with their presence law and order in their free time. The football event went without any problems and was a joyous and successful festival to enter this year's "leap year" history of the Saye-Town Community. In particular, 5 dead teenagers who died last year were thought of. 3 were found dead as victims of presumptive accidents or violent killings and two died of malaria and typhoid. Our active "Youth Representative" and enthusiastic football fan, a certified electrician and IT-Crack – Sam Holt, served as "Secretariat" and co-organizer of the football festival. We thank him for his continued commitment as a young Liberian, who does not want anything more than the children and young people have a chance in life to make the beautiful Republic of Liberia safe and sound.
"We want to encourage young people to participate in the community in order to strengthen the community spirit through collective togetherness…" (Interview with Sam G. Holt, BTFS Member of the Liberia Management Team)

History of the School "Immanuel Christian Academy" in Paynesville / Local Folk Festival "Finishing Well 2016"
The current target area of the foundation work of BTFS is located about 45 minutes southeast of the center of the capital Monrovia in Paynesville and is called SD Cooper Road Communities. It comprises 4 so-called blocks – named after 4 municipalities. SD Cooper Road Community, Chapel Town, Divine Community and Gbagbo Town. Families of all 4 "blocks send more than 300 children to Immanuel Christian Academy (ICA), SD Cooper Road, where they are taught from primary to junior high. The school principal is headmaster, pastor Paul Mitchell, who can count on the help of about 20 teachers. About 60% of them have a teacher's certification. They receive many a times, but not consistently, little salaries ranging between 40 to 60 US $ per month. Approximately 70% of families can pay a small school fee or tuition. The property belongs to Immanuel Church, located in the same place, under the direction of Reverend Pastor Adrean Neufville. The church supports as much as possible the maintenance of the school enterprise. The infrastructure of the school is in unsatisfying condition. Before the last rainy season in April 2016, the rooves were completely repaired thanks to donations from Switzerland, so that virtually no leakage was experienced in the 13 classrooms during the heavy rainfalls between April and October. The children received Liberian rice and water bags 1-2 x per day from women who do this voluntarily and receive a few Liberian dollars per week (about 90 LBD = 1 US$). There is no electricity and the hygienic conditions are simply miserable. There is a single water pipe with a water tap, which can be used inconsistently and unreliable as a water dispenser. Not far, there is a well, a draw-fountain, where water is brought by buckets. An acceptable "squatting-toilet" solution would already be seen as progress. It stinks and there is no suitable sewage and waste disposal. Children are neither used to washing their hands properly, nor are they protected from diseases such as malaria, typhus, diarrhea and HIV. Teenage pregnancies are a big issue because sexual assaults and violence is one of the most pressing problems. The blocks "Kpelle" and "Gbagbo Town" are particularly problematic and considered as negative incident breeding zone.
Fruitful contacts to Immanuel Church and its School were established in 2016 by local members of the "Bowier Trust Foundation Switzerland" – initiated by its founder, Felix Walz. His plans for the way forward, has been actively supported by representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Liberia National Police. The first ad-hoc team – later augmented by appointed Team Leader Gladys Flomo, youth representative Sam Holt jr, women representative Myrtle Bowier and chief administration, Michael Smith, took care of the concerns and needs of these 4 blocks around SD Cooper Road. First meetings with representatives of the various women and youth organizations led to a dedicated training in the Immanuel Church, where they were trained how to jointly identify and structure problem areas. This basic training in project management met with great interest, but it had to be recognized that it takes a lot of patience and time until the methodology of contemporary project management can really be understood and applied.
On June 29, 2016, a first large-scale campaign with public interest took place in the nearby "Right to play Complex". Well over 200 young people in particular took part. Among them was a large number of girls, women, policemen, teachers, religious representatives and about 70 members of the so-called "Motorcyclists" – some of them with a criminal reputation. Some of their leaders later said that this was the first time that they had come together peacefully with the police in one place. The event was attended by high-ranking representatives of the Liberia National Police as well as representatives of the ministries. The main focus was on calls for peaceful coexistence and violence – especially sexual violence against girls and women – and finding ways to help the children achieve a better future. The local press and UNMIL Radio reported on this campaign.
By the end of 2016, further organizational and executive meetings followed with representatives of the 4 blocks. The aim was to consolidate the existing orientation on effective community partnership building and to confirm the Immanuel school as an "epic center" and to create a model, a show-case, together to motivate the population that only a peaceful and joint approach to problem solving can be financially supported. On the basis of this increasingly widespread acceptance, and because a trustful team began to crystallize, it was decided at the end of 2016 to organize an occasion with the local population – for once without problems, but to make the annual conclusion worthy and positive and to prepare a delightful transit to the new Year 2017. Positive and constructive in a direction to go together in the future and not return back. We called the event "Finishing Well 2016". More than 400 people – especially children – participated in the event on 28 December 2016 and became a wonderful festive event for a few hours. The political advisor of our foundation, Mr. Maxwell Jones, formerly Assistant to the Liberian Foreign Minister, demanded and motivated people to actively participate in the school model and to work together with the Liberia National Police to stabilize peace effectively so that today 's children' s perspectives for a secure future, as well as access to education becomes reality.
All involved people are confident to achieve further positive milestones collaboratively. These are to be prioritized, structured and implemented with guidance and support of the Swiss Foundation in a planned workshop for 2017.

Chronicle Covers: Boom! The USA is back in the Space Race
Chronicle Vault
By Tim O'Rourke Dec. 19, 2016 Updated: Dec. 18, 2018 3:53 p.m.
The Chronicle's front page from Dec. 19, 1958, covers a U.S. satellite's Earth orbit.
Photo: The Chronicle 1958
Up it went, and the Space Race was suddenly neck and neck.
The Chronicle's front page from Dec. 19, 1958, covers the launch of a communications satellite now known as SCORE (Signal Communications by Orbiting Relay Equipment).
"The U.S. Air Force put the world's biggest satellite into orbit last night — a 4-ton Atlas ICBM loaded with surprises," the story read.
The Soviet Union had launched Sputnik 1 more than a year before, and the U.S. was playing catchup. The Russians followed with Sputnik 2 and Sputnik 3. The Americans needed a win. The SCORE satellite, for all its technological innovations, had the Soviets beat in one important category.
"The 4-ton Atlas put into orbit by the Air Force yesterday was the biggest satellite ever put up," the story read. "The previous biggest was Russia's Sputnik 3."
The tale of the tape: SCORE, 8,700 pounds. Sputnik 3, 2,900 pounds.
But weight wasn't the best measure of this man-made "moon." It broadcast from space, for the first time, a Christmas message from President Dwight D. Eisenhower on short-wave radio.
"This is the president of the United States speaking," the transmission crackled. "Through the marvels of scientific advance my voice is coming to you from a satellite circling in outer space. My message is a simple one. Through this unique means I convey to you and to all mankind America's wish for peace on earth and good will toward men everywhere."
Scandal, circa 1958: Here's one that would lead TMZ today. "The love motif in Tuesday's slaying of Wolfgang Ludwig Marx, 26-year-old German student at the University of California, took on fuller Wagnerian overtones yesterday," the story read. "Madeleine Baum Hampton, blonde wife of research chemist John W. Hampton, had regular trysts with Marx in his apartment (in the 2300 block of) Ward Street, Berkeley, it was learned. Hampton shot and killed Marx in a physics laboratory on the Berkeley campus only a few hours after Mrs. Hampton had her final rendezvous with the man she described as her 'only real lover.'"

APOD Retrospective: October 19
Post by bystander » Wed Oct 19, 2011 3:46 am
Comet McNaught Over New Zealand
Image Credit & Copyright: Minoru Yoneto
Comet McNaught was perhaps the most photogenic comet of modern times -- from Earth. After making quite a show in the northern hemisphere in early January of 2007, the comet moved south and developed a long and unusual dust tail that dazzled southern hemisphere observers. In late January 2007, Comet McNaught was captured between Mount Remarkable and Cecil Peak in this spectacular image taken from Queenstown, South Island, New Zealand. The bright comet dominates the right part of the above image, while the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy dominates the left. Careful inspection of the image will reveal a meteor streak just to the left of the comet. Today, Comet Siding Spring may become the most photogenic comet of modern times -- from Mars.
Sh2-155: The Cave Nebula
Image Credit & Copyright: Jimmy Walker
This colorful skyscape features the dusty, reddish glow of Sharpless catalog emission region Sh2-155, the Cave Nebula. About 2,400 light-years away, the scene lies along the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy toward the royal northern constellation of Cepheus. Astronomical explorations of the region reveal that it has formed at the boundary of the massive Cepheus B molecular cloud and the hot, young, blue stars of the Cepheus OB 3 association. The bright rim of ionized hydrogen gas is energized by the radiation from the hot stars, dominated by the bright blue O-type star above picture center. Radiation driven ionization fronts are likely triggering collapsing cores and new star formation within. Appropriately sized for a stellar nursery, the cosmic cave is over 10 light-years across.
Merging NGC 2623
Image Credit: Hubble Legacy Archive, ESA, NASA; Processing - Martin Pugh
NGC 2623 is really two galaxies that are becoming one. Seen to be in the final stages of a titanic galaxy merger, the pair lies some 300 million light-years distant toward the constellation Cancer. The violent encounter between two galaxies that may have been similar to the Milky Way has produced widespread star formation near a luminous core and along eye-catching tidal tails. Filled with dust, gas, and young blue star clusters, the opposing tidal tails extend well over 50,000 light-years from the merged nucleus. Likely triggered by the merger, accretion by a supermassive black hole drives activity within the nuclear region. The star formation and its active galactic nucleus make NGC 2623 bright across the spectrum. This sharp cosmic snapshot of NGC 2623 (aka Arp 243) is based on Hubble Legacy Archive image data that also reveals even more distant background galaxies scattered through the field of view.
Draconid Meteors Over Spain
[imghover6=http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/1110/dr ... do_900.jpg]http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/1110/dr ... otated.jpg[/imghover6]Image Credit & Copyright: Juan Carlos Casado (TWAN)
What are those streaks in the sky? They're meteors from the Draconids meteor shower that peaked earlier this month. The above composite image captured numerous meteor streaks over 90 minutes above the Celtic ruins of Capote in Badajoz province, Spain. The particles that caused these meteors were typically the size of a pebble and were expelled long ago from the nucleus of comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner. Most of the above meteors can be traced back to a single radiant emanating from the constellation of the Dragon (Draco). Reports from this year's meteor shower indicate that the Draconids were unusually good this year with activity was concentrated around 8 pm UT on October 8. The most intense Draconid meteor showers in recent history occurred in 1933 and 1946 when thousands of meteors per hour were recorded as the Earth plowed through particularly dense streams of comet debris. Although the Draconids occur every October, it is usually difficult to know just how active each year's meteor shower will be.
Prometheus Rising Through Saturn's F Ring

What is that dark streak below Prometheus? Although it may look like a shadow or a trail blazed by sweeping up material, computer simulations indicate that the dark streak is better understood as an empty path pulled away by the gravity of Saturn's small moon. The particles don't follow Prometheus so much as glide sideways past where Prometheus used to be. One dark streamer is created during each pass of Prometheus through the F-ring that it shepherds. The streamers were unpredicted and first discovered in 2004 on high resolution images taken by the robotic Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn. Close inspection of the surface of Prometheus itself in the above image shows interesting structure and craters. The Cassini spacecraft arrived at Saturn in 2004 and, as it continues to function well, is now expected to continue to send back data and images from the distant ringed world until 2017.
Nereus Crater on Mars
Credit: Mars Exploration Rover Mission, JPL, NASA; Image Processing: Kenneth Kremer
It was along the way. The robotic rover Opportunity currently rolling across the Meridiani Plain on Mars has a destination of Endeavour Crater, a large crater over 20 kilometers across which may yield additional clues about the cryptic past of ancient Mars. Besides passing open fields of dark soil and light rock, Opportunity has chanced upon several interesting features. One such feature, pictured above in a digitally stitched and horizontally compressed panorama, is Nereus Crater, a small crater about 10 meters across that is surrounded by jagged rock. Besides Nereus, Opportunity recently also happened upon another unusual rock -- one that appears to be the third large meteorite found on Mars and the second for Opportunity during only this trip. Opportunity has been traveling toward Endeavour Crater for over a year now, and if it can avoid ridged rocks and soft sand along the way, it may reach Endeavour sometime next year.
In the Center of the Lagoon Nebula
Credit: A. Caulet (ST-ECF, ESA), NASA
The center of the Lagoon Nebula is a whirlwind of spectacular star formation. Visible on the upper left, at least two long funnel-shaped clouds, each roughly half a light-year long, have been formed by extreme stellar winds and intense energetic starlight. The tremendously bright nearby star, Hershel 36, lights the area. Vast walls of dust hide and redden other hot young stars. As energy from these stars pours into the cool dust and gas, large temperature differences in adjoining regions can be created generating shearing winds which may cause the funnels. This picture, spanning about 5 light years, was taken in 1995 by the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope. The Lagoon Nebula, also known as M8, lies about 5000 light years distant toward the constellation of Sagittarius.
IC 5067 in the Pelican Nebula
Credit & Copyright: Antonio Fernandez
The prominent ridge of emission featured in this dramatic skyscape is cataloged as IC 5067. Part of a larger emission nebula with a distinctive shape, popularly called The Pelican Nebula, the ridge spans about 10 light-years following the curve of the cosmic pelican's head and neck. This false color view also translates the pervasive glow of narrow emission lines from atoms in the nebula to a color palette made popular in Hubble Space Telescope images of star forming regions. Fantastic, dark shapes inhabiting the 1/2 degree wide field are clouds of cool gas and dust sculpted by the winds and radiation from hot, massive stars. Close-ups of some of the sculpted clouds show clear signs of newly forming stars. The Pelican Nebula, itself cataloged as IC 5070, is about 2,000 light-years away. To find it, look northeast of bright star Deneb in the high flying constellation Cygnus.
SWAN Meets Galaxy
Credit & Copyright: Andrea Tamanti
This cosmic portrait recorded October 9th features the lovely blue-green coma of Comet SWAN posing with spiral galaxy NGC 5005 in the northern constellation Canes Venatici. At the time the comet (center) was in the close foreground, a mere 9 light-minutes from planet Earth, with the galaxy a more substantial 60 million light-years distant. Not actually related to a bird, Comet SWAN (C/2006 M4) was so named as it was first spotted in image data from the SWAN (Solar Wind ANisotropies) camera aboard the sun-staring SOHO spacecraft. Having rounded the Sun, this comet is headed for interstellar space, but first it will make its closest approach to Earth on October 24. With binoculars, northern hemisphere observers can now spot the comet above the northwestern horizon, near the handle of the Big Dipper in the early evening sky.
On the Possibility of Ascending to Mars
Image Credit & Copyright: Fred Espenak (www.MrEclipse.com)
On another October 19, in 1899, a 17 year-old Robert Goddard climbed a cherry tree on a beautiful autumn afternoon in Worcester, Massachusetts. Inspired by H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds and gazing out across a meadow, young Goddard imagined it would be wonderful to make a device that had the possibility of ascending to Mars. Forever more he felt his life had a purpose and in the following years his diary entries record October 19th as "Anniversary Day", the anniversary of his ascent into the cherry tree. By 1926 he had designed, built, and flown the world's first liquid fuel rocket. Mars is just visible through the trees at the lower right in this dramatic sky view that also features the Moon and Venus -- all visited by liquid fuel rockets constructed on principles developed by Goddard.
Old Planetary Dust Disks Found by SST
Illustration Credit: T. Pyle (SSC, Caltech), JPL, Caltech, NASA
Why are some older stars surrounded by dust? Observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope by a team led by George Rieke (U. Arizona) were expected to show that young stars, on the order of one million years old, have large dust disks, while relatively older stars, between 10 and 100 million years old, have none. The conventional wisdom was that the dust disks surrounding young stars were still forming planets, while in older systems these disks had dissipated after planets had already formed. Unexpectedly, they found some older stars with the infrared glow of impressive rings or disks of dust. A possible explanation is that the old disks are remnant debris from violent collisions between many forming planets of rock. Resultant dust rings from such a scenario are depicted by an artist's illustration above.
An Unusual Globule in IC 1396
Credit & Copyright: Jean-Charles Cuillandre (CFHT), Hawaiian Starlight
Is there a monster in IC 1396? Known to some as the Elephant's Trunk Nebula, parts of gas and dust clouds of this star formation region may appear to take on foreboding forms, some nearly human. The only real monster here, however, is a bright young star too far from Earth to hurt us. Energetic light from this star is eating away the dust of the dark cometary globule near the top of the above image. Jets and winds of particles emitted from this star are also pushing away ambient gas and dust. Nearly 3,000 light-years distant, the relatively faint IC 1396 complex covers a much larger region on the sky than shown here, with an apparent width of more than 10 full moons.
Io's Surface: Under Construction
Credit: Galileo Project, JPL, NASA
Like the downtown area of your favorite city, the roads you drive to work on, and any self-respecting web site ... Io's surface is constantly under construction. This moon of Jupiter holds the distinction of being the Solar System's most volcanically active body -- its bizarre looking surface continuously formed and reformed by lava flows. Generated using 1996 data from NASA's Galileo spacecraft, this high resolution composite image of Io is centered on the side of Io that always faces away from Jupiter. It has been enhanced to emphasize Io's surface brightness and color variations, revealing features as small as 1.5 miles across. The notable absence of impact craters suggests that the entire surface is covered with new volcanic deposits much more rapidly than craters are created. What drives this volcanic powerhouse? A likely energy source is the changing gravitational tides caused by Jupiter and the other Galilean moons as Io orbits the massive gas giant planet. Heating Io's interior, the pumping tides would generate the sulfurous volcanic activity.
X-Ray Stars and Winds in the Rosette Nebula
Credit: L. Townsley (Penn State), et al., NASA
This mosaic of x-ray images cuts a swath across the photogenic Rosette Nebula, a stellar nursery 5,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Monoceros, the Unicorn. Constructed from data recorded by the orbiting Chandra X-ray Observatory, the mosaic spans less than 100 light-years and is color coded to show low energies in red and high energy x-rays in blue. At the upper right is the young star cluster NGC 2244, central to the Rosette Nebula itself. The hot outer layers of the massive stars are seen to be copious sources of x-rays, but a diffuse x-ray glow also pervades this cluster of newborn stars. Since these stars are so young (less than few million years old!) the diffuse x-ray emission is thought to be powered by energetic, colliding stellar winds rather than remnants of supernovae explosions, a final act in the life cycle of a massive star. Moving away from the center, south and east across the nebula (upper right to lower left), the hot, blustery environment gives way to dense molecular gas, absorbing low energy x-rays while revealing the penetrating high energy x-rays from embedded stars.
The Farthest Explosion Yet Measured
Credit: H. Pedersen (U. Copenhagen) et al., FORS1, VLT Antu, ESO
It happened so far away that common human distance measures are inadequate to describe it. Furthermore, astronomers do not even claim to know exactly what happened. What is known is that satellites across our Solar System reported on 2000 January 31 a tremendous explosion of gamma rays had occurred towards some previously uninteresting direction. Soon one of the largest optical telescopes on Earth, a VLT in Chile, began to peer in the direction of the gamma ray burst. The VLT not only recorded an optical counterpart, shown above, but also was able to estimate that the cosmologically-induced redshift was an astonishing 4.5 -- placing GRB000131 farther across the universe than any explosion so measured. This vast distance indicates that GRB000131 occurred just as galaxies like our Milky Way were forming, and so qualifies gamma ray bursts as unique probes of this ancient epoch. This result bodes well for the recently launched HETE-2 satellite, which may record and help place more explosions in this distant and mysterious time-period of our universe.
Earth's North Magnetic Pole
A magnetic compass does not point toward the true North Pole of the Earth. Rather, it more closely points toward the North Magnetic Pole of the Earth. The North Magnetic Pole is currently located in northern Canada. It wanders in an elliptical path each day, and moves, on the average, more than forty meters northward each day. Evidence indicates that the North Magnetic Pole has wandered over much of the Earth's surface in the 4.5 billion years since the Earth formed. The Earth's magnetic field is created by Earth's partially ionized outer core, which rotates more rapidly than the Earth's surface. Indicated in the above picture is Ellef Ringnes Island, the current location of Earth's North Magnetic Pole.
Olympus Mons from Orbit

Olympus Mons on Mars is the largest volcano in the Solar System. Although three times higher than Earth's Mount Everest, Olympus Mons would not be difficult to climb because of the volcano's great breadth. Covering an area greater than the entire Hawaiian volcano chain, the slopes of Olympus Mons typically rise only a few degrees at a time. The low gravity of Mars combined with a relatively static surface crust allow volcanoes this large to build up over time. This representative-color image was taken last April by the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft currently orbiting Mars.
The Heart Of NGC 4261
Credit: H. Ford and L. Ferrarese, (Johns Hopkins), W. Jaffe, (Leiden), NASA
What evil lurks in the hearts of galaxies? This Hubble Space Telescope picture of the center of the nearby elliptical galaxy NGC 4261 tells one dramatic tale. The gas and dust in this disk are swirling into what is almost certainly a massive black hole. The disk is probably what remains of a smaller galaxy that fell in hundreds of millions of years ago. Collisions like this may be a common way of creating such active galactic nuclei as quasars. Strangely, the center of this fiery whirlpool is offset from the exact center of the galaxy - for a reason that for now remains an astronomical mystery.
Lalande 21185: The Nearest Planetary System?
Credit and Copyright: John Whatmough, Extrasolar Visions
What's the closest extrasolar planetary system? It may well be planets of the dim red dwarf star cataloged as Lalande 21185 -- a mere 8 light years distant. This star is too faint to be seen by the naked eye and its planets have not been imaged directly. Instead, their presence is inferred by a long series of telescopic observations, tracking the star as it wiggles and wobbles in mutual gravitational response to the masses of its orbiting planets. Our own planetary system would be detectable by such a technique ... Using data obtained from frequent observations of this star over the last 50 years, University of Pitsburgh astronomer George Gatewood recently announced that much of Lalande 21185's wobble is most likely due to an unseen planet with approximately 90% of the mass of Jupiter and an orbital period of 5.8 years. His work also indicates that a second and possibly third planet of similar mass could well be present in the system. Massive planets orbiting a red dwarf star would be very different from the Earth -- as illustrated in this artist's vision of a Jupiter-sized planet with rings and moons lit by a cool, dim sun. Nevertheless, the existence of a planetary system so near our own suggests the intriguing possibility that planets are common in our galaxy.
Globular Cluster M5

The globular cluster M5, pictured above, contains roughly 100,000 stars. These stars formed together and are gravitationally bound. Stars orbit the center of the cluster, and the cluster orbits the center of our Galaxy. So far, about 160 globular clusters are known to exist in a roughly spherical halo around the Galactic center. Globular clusters do not appear spherically distributed as viewed from the Earth, and this fact was a key point in the determination that our Sun is not at the center of our Galaxy. Globular clusters are very old. There is a straightforward method of determining their age, and this provides a very interesting lower limit on the age of our universe of about 14 billion years.

The Aby Lowland (; ) is a low alluvial plain located in the Sakha Republic, Far Eastern Federal District, Russia. Administratively most of the territory  of the lowland is part of Aby District (Aby Ulus).

Geography
The lowland is crossed by the Indigirka River in its middle course. Besides many smaller rivers and streams, three large left hand tributaries of the great river flow into it, the Selennyakh, Uyandina (with the Khatyngnakh) and Druzhina rivers. The Badyarikha limits the area in the east. The area is flat and mostly marshy, the average height of the plain being between  and  above sea level. The rivers are generally slow-flowing and meandering, connected by channels and with very boggy shores. The Aby Lakes, mostly small and numbering over 15,000, are dotting the lowlands. The largest are Lake Ozhogino and Lake Suturuokha.

The Aby Lowland is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with the Selennyakh Range and Esteriktyakh-Tas in the west, the Moma Range in the south and southeast, the Alazeya Plateau in the east and the Polousny Range in the north. The latter separates it from the Yana-Indigirka Lowland.

In the winter the plains are frosty owing to stagnation of cold air. There is usually light snowfall. Summers are short, but with rather high temperatures considering the latitude.

On day 3, we had our breakfast at the patio of the picturesque homestead we stayed for the night. I think some of the pictures don't do justice to the place cos its really pretty and there's a serenity about the place that makes you feel really relaxed.
Waking up to this view?
The homestead's owner has his own tea plantation and he also produces his own tea where he serves to his guests.
Don't you think the reflective windows make the picture look like a postcard?
Us with the very hospitable homestead owner!
Thank you for having us at such a lovely place!
Last group shot before heading to our next destination!
After fueling up, it was time for our drive to our next location in Nantou province; CingJing Farm and He Huan Shan (Chinese: 合歡山; also called Joy Mountain) is a 3,416 metres (11,207 ft). This mountain is within the Taroko National Park, which is a must go if you tour Taiwan and travel to Hua Lien. On our way there, we made a stop at an old train station where we got to see bamboo shoots that had square trunks instead of the round ones we usually see. Here we got to see some pretty Sakura blooms that were different from the ones we saw at Alishan. Taiwan has a lot of these historical old train stations and old streets where you will get to have a taste of their local produce and just interact and experince what life is like for the locals.
The beautiful old English styled hotel at CingJing.
Of course, I had to take an OOTD with the winding mountain road!
Time for some jump shots!
The sun is setting and the sunset we got to see atop He Huan Shan was spectacular!

It collaborated with Roberta's founding pizza maker for its pies, set in a throwback vibe.
For pizza, the area around the Port Authority is mostly populated by the dollar slice. But one shop is looking to elevate the grab-and-go experience.
Upside Pizza opened this month at the corner of Eighth Avenue and 39th Street, with Roberta's founding pizza maker behind the pies.
Since leaving the Bushwick pizzeria, Anthony Falco has become an "international pizza consultant," working with restaurants across the globe. Upside, founded by Noam Grossman (previously of Dig Inn and B. Good), approached him on Instagram — "which is where I get almost all of my consulting inquiries from," Falco said — about collaborating on a 1990s-inspired slice joint.
Also intriguing to Falco was the use of 100-percent naturally leavened dough, made with a sourdough starter and unbleached, unbromated flour (and no commercial yeast) and using a special water filtration system to control flavor and fermentation. From start to finish, it can take up to 72 hours to make each pie.
The pies, which include both round and Sicilian varieties, are topped with house-made ingredients like fresh mozzarella, sausage, pickled peppers and spice blends. Slices cost $3 to $5. They're baked in a Montague Hearth Bake brick oven, which is rarely used in NYC pizzerias and was a favorite of the legendary Pizzeria Beddia in Philadelphia (which gained a national rep when Bon Appétit called its pies the best in America), Grossman said.
"It is completely brick-lined, top to bottom and on the sides, giving off the perfect balance of heat while baking pies," he said.
As for the '90s vibes, the tiny 330-square-foot corner shop channels the decade in the colors (including a red-and-pink checkered wall and neon pink-and-black tabletops) and logo, and the hip-hop on the speakers.
"For the vision of the shop, we were inspired by being a kid in the '90s, when hip-hop and sports reigned supreme, and local slice joints were the best spots for communal gatherings," Grossman said.
Upside is the latest in a string of slice shop openings in the city, including second locations for Sauce Pizzeria and Made in New York Pizza (helmed by an ex-employee of Prince Street Pizza, which also has a second location in the works). Among more formal pizzeria fare, there's Violet, the new East Village grilled pizza spot from the Emily team, and the coal-fired pizzeria Massa's (owned by a descendant of Patsy Grimaldi) in Long Island City.


When you become a parent, you know that you accept to be responsible for a life, until this life is old enough to look after itself. Needless to say, if your home was a place of hazards before you had a child, things could change dramatically from the moment the magical words appear on the pregnancy test. There are, naturally, plenty of parental duties that are new and that you must learn, starting with changing nappies – and let's be clear on that one; you are going to have a few accidents before your master this skill – to understanding the needs of your baby – crying being their only form of communication, it's expected you may not get them immediately. But one factor remains constant in your parenting life, and this is SAFETY. Indeed, you want the very best for your child. Consequently, you want to ensure that they can go through life without having to worry about health hazards, debilitating illnesses or even predators in the outside world.
The safety of your future baby starts with your own during the pregnancy. Indeed, what you eat and how you approach this period of your life affects your unborn child. As a result, it's not uncommon for people who had unhealthy habits to put them on hold during the pregnancy, such as smoking for instance. However, aside from developing healthy habits and eating the right kind of food, a future mommy although needs to look after her mental health. Indeed, pregnancy is a hormonal roller coaster, and as a result, it can affect your mood dramatically. You need to ensure that you are surrounded by supportive relatives and friends while you're going through this difficult period. Indeed, there is such a thing as prenatal depression which can be difficult to cope with.
Among the healthy habits mentioned above, what you can and can't eat during your pregnancy is one of the biggest topics of discussion for women. Ultimately, there are plenty of potentially risky foods that you should avoid for the sake of your fetus. For a start, it is important to understand that when you're pregnant, you don't need to eat for two. This can result in carrying excessive weight, which will generate possible birth and pregnancy complications. In fact, you only need to up your diet by 300 to 500 calories per day during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. You need nutritious food to support the growth of your baby. This includes dairy products, legumes, sweet potatoes, salmon, eggs, dark leafy greens, lean meat, fish liver oil, berries, whole grains, avocados, dried fruits, and of course plenty of water. As a rule of the thumb, you should drink 1.5L more when you're pregnant.
Giving birth is a life-changing moment. But for first-time mothers, it is a scary time. But there are things you can do to make sure that the delivery goes as 'smoothly' as possible. First of all, you need to keep your body fit with gentle exercises throughout the pregnancy, as going into labor is hard work. It is useful to do your research ahead of the big day so that you know the pros and cons of every delivery method and the relevant pain relief tips. This can help you to feel more in control. A positive mindset can make a great deal of difference to go through the labor calmly.
Once your baby is born, you reach the next step of safety, which consists in preparing your home with a handful of childproofing tips. Indeed, babies grow up very quickly, and soon you'll have an energetic toddler exploring the home. It's essential that you remove all potential risk from your household. Any edible or drinkable product and medicine should be kept away. It's also a good idea to set the max temperature of your water heater to 120°F so that your child doesn't accidentally get burned while playing with the faucets. And finally, you shouldn't leave any accessible window without a window guard.
Last, but not least, you also need to take into account the risks of the outside world. As a result, more and more parents are refraining from posting pictures of their children on social media. Indeed, your post could be misused and repurposed to bully your children when they get to school age. Additionally, a cute photo of your toddler might impact on their future: Nothing disappears from the Internet.
Keeping your child safe is a long-term dedication for all parents. It starts from the days you discover you're pregnant and evolves throughout the life of your child. Safety first is all that matters, safe from unwanted birth conditions, safe from house hazards and safe from external predators.

GOSSIPONTHIS.COM TV "American Horror Story" Reveals Season 8 Title: "Apocalypse"
"American Horror Story" Reveals Season 8 Title: "Apocalypse"
Published July 20th, 2018 at 6:07 am
The title of American Horror Story's 8th season has been announced!
Friday (Jul. 20) at midnight PST during Comic-Con 2018 in San Diego California, AHS revealed the title of their eighth season: "Apocalypse." The big announcement was accompanied by an image of a baby covered in blood being touched by a creepy-looking black hand.

In the past, showrunner Ryan Murphy has kept details of upcoming American Horror Story seasons under wraps, but this time, he chose to reveal a bit of info. about the next AHS season early on. Last month, Murphy tweeted that AHS Season 8 would be a "Coven/Murder House crossover."
The Coven/Murder House AHS crossover season won't be happening next year…because it's happening THIS YEAR. AHS #8 WITCHES RULE THIS SEPTEMBER
— Ryan Murphy (@MrRPMurphy) June 14, 2018
AHS' first season, and arguably its best, "Murder House," centered on a family who moved into a restored mansion, unaware that the house was haunted by the ghosts of its former residents and their victims. The third season of AHS, "Coven," followed a coven of Salem witches fighting for survival in the present-day while dealing with issues from the past.
AHS Season 8 will reportedly be set in the near future (18 months in the future, according to Murphy) and will feature a long list of returning stars: Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson (who will be playing multiple characters), Kathy Bates, Cheyenne Jackson, Billy Eichner, Adina Porter, Leslie Grossman, Billie Lourd and Emma Roberts. Franchise newcomer Joan Collins will play the grandmother of Evan Peters' character, who is said to be a "comedic hairdresser."
"It's a season unlike anything we've done because there's a big hook to it," Murphy said about AHS: Apocalypse. "There's a huge thing that happens in Episode 5."
Because Season 8 will be a crossover season, it's highly likely that actors/characters from "Murder House" and "Coven" will appear. Murphy has said that he is optimistic that many of the original AHS stars will return for the crossover season, including Dylan McDermott, Connie Britton and fan favorite Jessica Lange.
"I want all of them," Murphy said. "I want Dylan, and Connie and Jessica [Lange]. They've all said — Kathy Bates, too — everybody who is involved in the show has always said, 'Yeah, that sounds like fun, let's get the band back together again.' So that is one of the reasons why the writing process of that season is taking longer because it's literally 25 people's schedules. But I'm hopeful they will all be back."
As one Facebook user put it, "We lived in the Murder House. We escaped the Asylum. We protected the Coven. We attended the Freak Show. We checked into the Hotel. We experienced the Roanoke nightmare. We joined the Cult. And now we will survive the Apocalypse."
American Horror Story: Apocalypse premieres Wednesday, September 12th on FX.

POLK COUNTY, Ga. — A group of Georgia inmates is being praised after helping to save the life of a correctional officer, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office.
The six inmates decided to act. One used the guard's work phone to call 911, while others removed the correctional officer's bulletproof vest so they could perform CPR and help cool him off, according to WXIA-TV.

Q: Is there a way to use NASM syntax for inline assembly? I really dislike the GNU Assembler syntax and I some existing code written with NASM syntax that would be quite painful and time consuming to port.
Is it possible to make the global_asm!() macro use NASM as the assembler or possibly make GAS use NASM syntax?

A: You might be able to change it but it seems as if GAS is the only viable option. In Directives Support:
'Inline assembly supports a subset of the directives supported by both GNU AS and LLVM's internal assembler, given as follows. The result of using other directives is assembler-specific (and may cause an error, or may be accepted as-is).'
Additionally,the documentation states "Currently, all supported targets follow the assembly code syntax used by LLVM's internal assembler which usually corresponds to that of the GNU assembler (GAS). On x86, the .intel_syntax noprefix mode of GAS is used by default.'

The Words of My People
Posted 11 years ago by Bill McCurry
The words of my people are no longer spoken. My people came to this country with nothing a century and a half ago. A century later they had little more than nothing. My people were country people, and they lived on farms. When farming became the same as suicide they moved their families to the cities, and they built roads and painted houses, but they never fully understood that they'd left the country behind.
I knew my people when I was a boy, and they felt pride, and they had no regrets. They raised big families, because that's what farmers did. Their children raised small families, and their children's children raised tiny families, or no families at all. The generation of my people who left their farms is now gone, and their children are nearly gone, and the children who remain are no different from the children of any other people. We are not adequate vessels to carry the spirit of my people.
The language of a people defines them. It's difficult to think of something without naming it. Saying the words makes the thing real to us. The way you say the words declares where you stand in that reality. Many of my people's words I have never heard elsewhere. They sound strange and crude and backward to modern ears. You may laugh at them, and I guarantee that my people would feel fine about that. My people liked to laugh.
From my earliest memories I recall the phrase Tear up a cast iron jackass. Most of the time it arrived as part of the sentence, "I swear to God, you kids would tear up a cast iron jackass!" You can imagine the kind of thing that prompted this, because I suspect you were a child once yourself. When this phrase appeared, a smart child ceased what he was doing and found a place to hide. My people harbored no doubts about the value of corporal punishment.
On rare occasions my people would say Ain't been so happy since the pigs ate my little brother. These words appeared when something good happened, such as, "Sears fixed my refrigerator for free. I ain't been so happy since the pigs ate my little brother." Clearly this idiom sprang from growing up in large and contentious families. It wasn't used seriously—all my people of those generations had brothers or sisters who died in childhood. This phrase does say a lot about their understanding of the nature of pigs though.
My people reserved this last phrase for dire situations. This idiom is Makes my ass want to take a dip of snuff. Only extremely unpleasant events warranted this phrase. For example, "I had kidney stones last week. Made my ass want to take a dip of snuff." I lack even a decent guess about where this phrase came from. Somebody knew about snuff, and clearly they knew enough to say that sticking it in your behind would be unpleasant. But stating that your ass actually desires such a thing is remarkable. My people outdid themselves in this case.
We were a raucous clan, with our own history and way of looking at the world. We've become a few cousins who rarely cross paths. One of the last of my people lies dying tonight, and when he goes then one of the last chapters of my people's story will go with him.
Makes my ass want to take a dip of snuff.

El Paso Stampede () é um filme norte-americano de 1953, do gênero faroeste, dirigido por Harry Keller e estrelado por Allan Lane e Eddy Waller.

Sinopse
Este é o último filme da longa série que Allan 'Rocky' Lane estrelou para a Republic Pictures a partir da primeira metade da década anterior. Ele se juntou a Bill Elliott, Monte Hale e Roy Rogers, cowboys que por tantos anos alimentaram o estúdio com seus modestos faroestes B, de enorme apelo junto ao público.

Para o escritor Phil Hardy, a despedida de Lane foi melancólica, de vez que a força de seus filmes reside nos roteiros, o que não aconteceu com El Paso Stampede.

Lane teve dificuldades em encontrar trabalho, até que, entre 1961 e 1966, emprestou sua voz ao cavalo Mister Ed, estrela da série de TV homônima, de enorme sucesso.

Sinopse
Estamos em 1898, durante a Guerra Hispano-Americana. Rocky Lane, agente do Governo, e o comerciante Nugget Clark vão atrás de bandidos que estão roubando gado destinado a alimentar os soldados norte-americanos.
