Q: Why can't my Google Sheets Query recognize formula results as numbers? So I have a formula one one sheet that calculates the difference between the current date (Using the today function) that corresponds to when a repair was requested - this column gives me how many days have passed since the request was made. In a separate sheet, I want to query the requests that are beyond 14 days old but less than 22 days. I write the query as:
Select A,B,C,D,G Where J>14 and J<22
but the cell just displays "N/A". But if I rewrite the code with single quotes on the 14 and 22 as:
Select A,B,C,D,G Where J>'14' and J<'22'
It returns repair requests that are two days old. This tells me that it recognizes the formula results as Strings even if I already set the format to Number.
Can anyone help?

A: To anyone wondering, I was able to fix this issue by using the VALUE() function (which works for both Google Sheets and MS Excel) which converts any string to numbers.

A: if J column are dates try:
=INDEX(QUERY({A:G, DAY(J:J)}
 "select Col1,Col2,Col3,Col4,Col7
  where Col8 > 14
    and Col8 < 22")


Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has called out The Star newspaper for publishing a story about Meru Senator Mithika Linturi's bedroom prowess.
Mr Linturi's estranged wife, Marianne Kitany, had filed, in her sworn affidavit, that her husband often "failed to rise to the occasion in the bedroom", hence more reason as to why they had issues in their union.
Attaching a screenshot of "The Star" headline, which read: "Linturi was unable to 'rise to the occasion' in the bedroom – Wife", Sonko questioned the editorial decision that prompted the headline.
"This is nonsense of the highest order and totally unacceptable… We shall not allow them (The Star) to publish bedroom stories of other men with their wives. Which journalist was present in their bedroom during that material night. Shenzi nyinyi. Linturi take them to court this is good money. And since your matrimonial residence is in Nairobi I shall be an amicus curiae in this case on probono. Musidharau wanaume to that extent na hata tukizeeka. God gave us tongues and fingers," said the governor on Facebook.
Sonko's post attracted thousands of comments either agreeing with him or faulting his school of thought.

I have a strong traditional art background and just got into digital art 3-4 years ago. Since then I have been mostly working digitally, but I still for instance draw comics for MKK Entertainment, which is an independent publisher, I also have my own comic book project (Lupus) in the works. I have been thinking I might also draw my comics digitally in the future, but currently my comic work is all done by hand.

Copenhagen's Coolest Bedding Label Is Launching Sleepwear That "Celebrates The Simplicity of Things"
By Brooke Bobb

The world is slowly beginning to open back up (at least for now), after months of strict lockdowns due to the global pandemic. With our masks and our social distancing measures, we're venturing back out for al fresco dining, picnics in the park, and even airplane trips. But there's a good chance that the vast majority of the population that has been confined to their homes over the last several months has a new appreciation for the little things. Without busy social schedules, we may now value sleep, new recipes, time spent with family, and the small nooks in our living spaces more than we ever did before. That list includes a newfound love for the clothes we wear when we're at home. We've fallen for our comfy, cozy pajamas and loungewear, for sweatpants and oversized sweaters and leggings.
But just as we've settled into our favorites, one popular Danish label is presenting an exciting new option. Copenhagen-based bedding and home linens label Tekla fabrics, favored by the local founders of Saks Potts and models like Caroline Brash-Nielsen, is launching a genderless sleepwear collection today. The line includes 100% cotton poplin pant and shirting pajama sets in traditional silhouettes and a range of colors from blush pink to royal blue, along with a light stripe print. Each set is around $100 and available for purchase on the Tekla website.
The brand itself was founded by Charlie Hedin in 2017 and has become a beloved staple of the most stylish members of the It crews in the city, namely for their colorful striped plush terry bathrobes. All of the fabrics Hedin uses for his modern, minimalist sheets, blankets, towels, and robes are organic and chemical free. Introducing sleepwear into the mix is a natural evolution for this burgeoning brand, one that has as much a focus on functionality as it does on creating a beautiful product. As Hedin explains, "it was crucial to create pajamas that can stand the test of time in both quality and appearance." He adds, "That's why the development of our sleepwear collection took nearly a year before we showed it for the first time in January."
"The only aim was to create a beautiful and functional product, one that will become an essential part of our visual universe." The new line is indeed straightforward, but beautifully so. Hedin notes that the oversized, classic cuts of the pajamas, which can also be worn out of the house and mixed into an everyday wardrobe, are meant to celebrate "the simplicity of things, the freedom in functionality and its capacity to reinvigorate." He adds, "our sleepwear is made to adapt to the body and environment, something you wear to escape in and to feel content in."
And so, even as we begin to emerge from our beds and our homes, it's true that we can still fall in love with a great pair of PJs. Tekla's new collection is certainly the perfect fit.

Imagine a town where everyone lived in the same building, so when the weather was bad – as it was for most of the winter – no one had to go outside! This was Whittier in the 1940s and 50s when it was an Army base – originally set up during World War II as an alternative port to Seward which was occasionally closed due to the harbor freezing. In those days, the big ugly buildings – now abandoned – had a barber shop, movie theater, stores, bowling alley, rifle range, and apartments.
In its early days – before 1942 – the only way out in or out of Whittier was by boat or by land, on a very difficult trail – over the mountains and Portage Glacier. Then when the Japanese invaded the Aleutian Islands, a tunnel was seen as a necessity, and the 2.6 mile tunnel – one of the longest in the world – was blasted through the mountains in 309 days. With the tunnel completed, the huge building at Whittier could also serve as a possible refuge for the 30,000 or so residents of Anchorage, should it be invaded by the Japanese… a bit of hysteria – it would be cold and mighty crowded, but they would be safe from the Asian devils..
But then in 1960, the Army left and Whittier almost disappeared – its population dropping quickly from over a thousand to around 65, mostly government workers maintaining the buildings.
And then if that weren't enough, the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake pretty much destroyed everything along the waterfront: the thousand foot long dock disappeared and the oil from big broken tanks caught fire and pretty much burned what was left except for the big buildings.
A little boom started in the early 1990s, when a few cruise ships started to make Whittier their northern turnaround port. However, as local merchants observed, the only time they got much business was when a bus or the train broke down, stranding passengers, as usually they just waited on board until it was time to leave for the Anchorage airport or further land travels. Then after the town fathers levied a 3$ per passenger head tax, the cruise lines all moved their operations to Seward.
But in 2000 the train tunnel was widened so that it could also accommodate bus and car traffic – but not at the same time. Presented with a quicker way of moving their passengers to Anchorage, Princess Cruises made Seward its northern terminus for its ships once again, and this, combined with boaters coming from Anchorage to use Whittier's new boat harbor (the very large tides and strong currents around Anchorage discourages boating), brought a modest summer visitor economy to the little town.
Today, sportsfishing charter operators and excursion boats offering tours of the nearby glaciers as well as kayak excursions operate out of Whittier.
Tip: You should have a choice of either bus or train passage to Anchorage. I would recommend the train – a much more mellow and fun trip.


Hi, komrades, The People's Anthony Sullivan here for an important PSA for all loyal to the Cube.
Here in the kollektive, from the beet fields to the tractor barns, we are always celebrating. And if there is nothing to celebrate, you better find a reason to celebrate, if you know what's good for you.
Celebration = living. Think of celebration as a life-force. If you for a second do not celebrate something, you may as well be an ex-person. Literally.
(and last but most certainly not least) You actually do CARE about celebrating. If your reason to celebrate seems important, don't hesitate to impose it on your comrades.
And that is all the groundwork necessary for celebrations at The People's Cube, where we indeed are always celebrating.
Do show trials count as celebrations? What about protests and beating up haters? These activities are very much fun. I always bring my popcorn machine along.
Here at the Party headquarters, comrades, daily celebrations are mandatory. It's a long-standing tradition.
Not only do we celebrate show trials, protests, and beating up haters - we also celebrate anniversaries of such events, making sure they become part of mass culture.
First of all, we celebrate guilt. This one remains relevant any day, as there are as many types of guilt as there are days in a year. Income guilt, educational guilt, occupational guilt, white guilt, male guilt, human speciist guilt, rich country guilt, historical guilt, etc.
Here are some anniversary celebrations we held in the past.
After most unpleasant incident at the location of missing tractor garage #1 and my most happy release from glorious KGB headquarters, I post this flyer here at Politburo's insistence!
And remember to "Raise Awareness"!!! The beauty of raising awareness is that you don't have to do a damn thing! Just tell people that you are "raising awareness". Like celebrating, you can pick a cause or make one up. It doesn't matter because no one is going to give a flying flip and they will forget what it is your advocating in less than 10 seconds. So why do it? It shows that, like a good Marxist/Socialist, you Care™. And no one has the market cornered on caring and compassion like progressives.

On the run: Charles Rodriguez fled the UK after robbing a diamond trader in in Manchester but police monitored his Facebook and phone use
Police caught a thief, who stole more than £80,000 worth of diamonds and pearls, after he posted holiday photos on Facebook while on the run.
Charles Rodriguez, 31, fled the UK after robbing a diamond trader in 'an appalling attack' in Manchester in October 2011.
But police caught up with him after he brazenly posted holiday snaps of himself enjoying the sights of London and Rio de Janeiro on his Facebook page.
He was jailed for five years and four months at Manchester Crown Court today after pleading guilty to robbery at an earlier hearing.
Rodriguez, who is thought to be a member of the London-based South American organised crime group The Latin Kings, threw the trader to the floor with another male during the robbery.
They stole the keys to his car and opened his boot during the attack on Singleton Road in Broughton Park, Salford, making off with two briefcases containing diamonds and pearls worth more than £80,000.
Detectives in the Salford Volume Crime Team trawled hours of CCTV footage and identified the culprits who were following the trader on the day of the robbery.
They followed them from Manchester city centre back to Salford on October 12, 2011, the day of the attack.
Brazen 'arrogance': Detectives continued to monitor Rodriguez, who posted holiday photos in London, Rio de Janiero and Mexico City (pictured), travelling on a false passport
After an analysis of his social networking use and analysis of telecommunications evidence, officers discovered he had fled the UK and returned to Columbia about a month after the robbery.
He then posted his holiday snaps including one showing him draped in a Rio de Janeiro flag on what appears to be a tourist boat.

He had purchased two tickets for a TAM airlines flight to Rio de Janeiro on November 10, 2011 and left using a false passport in the name of 'Mr Chiguichon-Lopez'.
Detectives discovered Rodriguez had returned home to Columbia after his holiday in Brazil, but they were unable to arrest him as Columbia is a non-extradition country.

But Rodriguez slipped up on December 4 last year when he was stopped by police for suspicious driving in London after coming into the country on another false passport.
He provided officers with a false name, but his true identity was revealed with fingerprints and he was arrested and charged.
Before his arrest, he had posted more pictures of himself on Facebook of him Christmas shopping and taking in the sights of the capital.
Detective Sergeant Roger Smethurst said: 'Rodriguez's arrogance was astonishing.
Jailed: Rodriguez was sentenced to five years and four months at Manchester Crown Court (pictured) today after he was arrested in London and fingerprints revealed his real identity
'After committing an appalling attack on a jewellery trader, he fled the country to his native Columbia where he knew he could not be extradited.
'However, his lack of remorse was evident by the fact he brazenly posted sightseeing pictures from Brazil - at a time when he was on the run - on his Facebook page.'
'But patience is a virtue and while Rodriguez thought he was living a carefree, jet set lifestyle, our officers were gathering overwhelming evidence against him so that when he finally did slip up, there was no escape.
'I would like to commend all those who worked on what was a complex and lengthy investigation, and just as importantly hope that this brings some sense of closure to the victim who has had to wait months and months to see his attacker brought to justice.'
Diamond thief caught after posting holiday pictures on Facebook while on the run


Defending Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich on Thursday confirmed they will sign Germany Under-19 striker Jann-Fiete Arp -- it just depends on when his current side Hamburg can win promotion from the second division.
Arp will move to Munich, either this June or at the end of next season, in a deal reportedly worth 2.5 million euros, but he wants to first help Hamburg reclaim their top-flight status.
"The decision when he leaves Hamburg doesn't only affect Arp," said Bayern in a statement, who have said they are "flexible".
Arp made headlines in Germany as a 17-year-old after scoring two goals in his first three Bundesliga games in late 2017.
The 19-year-old will join Bayern as back-up to top-scoring striker Robert Lewandowski.
"The discussions with Bayern Munich were constructive and fair," said Hamburg's sports director Ralf Becker.
"Our relegation (last season) hit Jann-Fiete hard, he insisted on staying and helping us to go back up first."

About The Palace
Being owned and operated by Bill Roth, the Palace Theater thrived as a community theater from 1913 until 1977. During these years the Palace was a focal point on the historic downtown square.
After Mr. Roth's death in the early 1990's, the theater was purchased at auction by Johnny and Sonny Garrott and subsequently donated to Greater Gallatin, Inc. for renovation. The property is found to be the oldest silent movie theater still standing in it's original location in the State of Tennessee and therefore was made a local historic landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Funds were raised for the renovation project through private, public, corporate and state donations in excess of $100,000. Greater Gallatin wrote and received a much-needed grant for $300,000 making it possible for our dreams for the Palace to become a reality.
Seven years later Greater Gallatin, Inc. opened the Palace Theater doors to the public and once again made it a very viable part of our downtown. Movies are shown every weekend. The theater is also available for lectures, recitals, concerts and rental opportunities.
The charm and ambience of the historic theater has made it a weekend destination for much of the community.

GRAND PRINCE LIVE RECAP EPISODE 13
SG and JH run through the town near her house. JH falls so SG comes back and helps her up. they continue running hand in hand. Meanwhile, the guards are carrying KD in the carrier. She gets out with her face covered and goes inside to the room. KT gets inside and removes her cover, she sinks o the ground and then peeks outside at the guards watching her.
Elsewhere, JH and SG try to board a boat. They offer up bribery jewelry, whatever it costs, just take us there.
KT is that the Buddhist temple and just sits inside pretending to pray (she was actually sleeping). The guard gets bored and wants to go inside to get her. He goes in and sees that it is KT there and not JH. He runs off with the other guards.
The soldiers, Hwi, and KT sit happily and eat fish. They think this is much better than when they were slaves. They will be able to get out. It took him three years to get out of Jurgens. They all talk seriously about this. Hwi thinks his mother will have a hard time defeating her son and protect the little king. He needs to get his freedom back.
On the mainland, the guard thinks about how they can kill Hwi and make it look like he pretended to escape. Also, Kang's guards get to the boat and ask if they carried any women. But the man says that they carry a lot of people.
On the boat, the man says that he is too tired, he can't go further…maybe if you give me some more money…. SG goes up to him and tells him to give her the oar and get out. She pushes him down and tells him he will either continue or get out right here. Yes! Finally, someone fights back! JH tells SG that she is pretty cool, she can do well. They continue on with the man taking them there in his boat.
Kang tells his guards JH's destination is the island. Catch her there, or you are dead.
At JH's house, Ahn finds out that JH went to the island. She almost passes out. DS asks KD why she always does this, this isn't a little joke. KD says that she was afraid that JH would commit suicide. She is sorry about this, my lady. Ahn says that they need to remove JH from their family, they can't do what she wants and she doesn't' want to live there, we don't have a daughter. The brother says he will catch her and KD says she will come back, but Ahn just says to leave her, she is a stranger now.
Hitmen go to Hwi's house and the guards just leave and let they go onside. But when they go inside, Hwi isn't there. They think he ran away. The assassins leave and see the men all running away.
It's a chase as the men run from the guards. The men say that they will lead the guards off so Hwi can escape. But one of the assassins find them and they fight. Hwi asks the man if his brother sent him. But Hwi gets hit in the body with an arrow by the man that wanted to revenge his own father's death. Hwi falls into the water. The assassin says he can't see Hwi in the water. It is low tied so he will find him tomorrow morning. But if he wants to check it now then he can jump in and get him.
JH gets to the island with SG. SG stares at the man and tells him to wait. then she hops off and helps JH off as well.
the next day, they find the body, but the face is all crushed so they don't know if it is Hwi or not. It is the same clothing. The son-guard tells them to take the body. While taking the body away, they walk past JH and SG. One of them notices JH and calls her agasshi. He tells her not to look at this. She wonders whose body this is, where is the prince? She heard the prince came here, she wants to see him. The son-guard comes out and tells her that the prince is dead, he tried to escape and it became like this. He pulls his sword on her and asks who she is. Did she come here to sneak out the sinner? the other guard tells him to stop, he will take her.
JH looks at the hands of the man and starts breathing hard and looks away. It looks like they don't know if it is him or not. maybe it is him? JH says that these were the clothes that the prince wore, she faints out. SG grabs her and holds her up.
There is poison in the food. One of the maids finds it. The young queen covers her son's eyes from it and they try to leave. Kang comes to see the Grand Queen. But she isn't letting him in. He tells the maid to call her one more time. Meanwhile, something falls and everyone gathers around the King to protect him.
Kang gets to see his Mother and tells her that they have a letter from the island, Hwi is dead. He tried to sneak out and was shot by the guard, fell into the water, and died. The Grand Queen thinks this is a mistake, he came back alive before. Kang says they have a body this time. But the mother doesn't want to believe it. She says that she will wait for him. She basically tells Kang that he is responsible for it all. He waited for his older brother to die and he killed his younger brother, now he wants to kill her and then Joseon will be his. Kang starts to tear up and get angry.
The young Queen finds out that Eun-sung died. She holds closely to the little King. She wonders who will survive and protect them.
Kang goes to the pond and drops a flower petal into it. He cries and is asked if he is thinking about Eun-sung. Kang says that he will not think about anyone or regret anything.
the men want to just dump the body in a grave, but JH says that he is royalty, they should have a better burial for him. But the son-guard just pushes her away. SG wants her to leave and not look, she turns her back and says that that isn't Hwi, it shouldn't be Hwi (in another language). They throw the body in and start burying him.
One of the assassin-guards tells JH that she should leave, the ship is leaving soon. they walk off and talk. Hwi is dead, but the other men got out, they need to take care of it. if they surrender, then they can make them slaves, otherwise, they can kill them. SG runs off. the guards turn around and the assassin guard asks where the Jurgen girl is. Find her!
The young queen meets with the Grand Queen and pleads with her. they need protection. People try to poison them and kill them. they are all spies of Jin-yang. She doesn't want her son to die before her. She has seen too many deaths and lost too many family members. The Queen says he will be more in danger if the son is not the King anymore. The Young Queen wants to give everything to Jin-yang and make a deal with him to leave her son alone. But the Queen tells her to get real, that won't happen. Don't you think I have pain? The mother of the country is before motherhood, I only thought about my duty. the young Queen tells her that she is just a mother, she made her father and brother die, she just wants to be a mother. She doesn't' care about mother of Joseon or something. You can take everything from me, I just want to keep my son alive!
JH leaves the island alone. She is escorted out. SG watches them from afar.
GISAENG
Kang dances as the gisaeng plays for him. He looks so happy as he laughs and dances away. The gisaengs wonder if he is really a guy whose younger brother just died? YG says he is just sad, he doesn't' know how to express his feelings, that is why he cries with his entire body.
Uncle meets with a scholar and talks about the Queen and Eun-sung's death. the mother of the little King wants to give up the King position. Everything should flow now. Listen to what people say, there is a sick King after that, a baby King. You should be on Jin-yang's side. then your power as an in-law will continue. Your choice will determine life and death and glory and disgrace.
JH'S HOME
JH gets home but her father tells her not to come in. She followed her man and made her family suffer, they will not accept her anymore. Whoever let JH in the house will be in big trouble. The guard tells her that JH will have a big shock so just let her in. Eun-sung is dead on the island and she confirmed it. Everyone is shocked and Umma hugs JH. She asks her why she went there, why did she go there and see those cruel things. How will she live her life with that memory?
SU meets the Uncle and asks if it is true that Eun-Sung is dead on the island? the uncle chuckles and says that Hwi tried to escape. SU says that Uncle is too cruel to him, is he happy now? As an uncle, are you happy to see your nephew grow up as a monster and the other nephew die? The uncle asks him if he thinks the Kings position is for a human? That position is not for humans. SU tells him that the greed is all his. Uncle says that it is not greed, he just wants to serve the country and turn everything back to normal, and you helped me do it, hahaha.
SU meets with another scholar and says that it is all his fault. He should have told the truth even if he died, how can I pay for this sin. The scholar says it is too late, they won't be able to save the little King. If the boy was 10 years old, they could withstand, but he is too young. Jin-yang will be even more ready and there will be more blood in the future. He isn't sure if the Queen can withstand it more. Who should they be loyal too? they should pick the King that will make their country strong and stable.
JH rice like a robot. KD wants her to drink some water or cry or become a monk. Why is she like this? The brother comes in and sees that his sister is still like this. She took a bath for several days, now she just wants to eat all day. The brother says that a lot of people want Jin-yang to be the King. the Queen says that she will give the King position to Jin-yang, so now the King of the country is Jin-yang. JH throws up in her mouth a little.
The brother says that after JH left home, someone brought that letter. Eun-sung wrote this letter on the island before he died. JH opens the letter and reads it.
Letter: Your house is in Seoul and my place is on the island now so we can't see each other even though we miss each other. It hurts me so much when I see raindrops on a tree.
JH folds the letter into her chest.
The Grand Queen goes there and asks why the King died before her and gave her this hard life. To full fill his will, she made their kids hurt, did she do well? With her own hand, she took down her own grandson and put Jin-yang as king. Are you angry at me? How is Eun-sung? Does he blame his mother?
KINGHOOD
Kang gets the Kings robes put on and looks at them. He takes in a deep breath as he takes in the moment. Then he sits on the throne and tells everyone that he became the King because of everyone. he is going to take care of the Young King, he will make the country strong and beautiful. Everyone should help him and work hard together. This is the rebirth of their country. He will put his uncle as an officer of the state (like Prime Minister or Secretary of State). Then he starts to appoint positions to all the high officials. One of the scholars says that he should follow the proper steps. But the King says that he became King so quickly so he doesn't' know the proper steps. Are you questioning what I am doing? If you have any other idea then tell me. I want to see who my real people are.
All the scholars are uncomfortable.
Elsewhere, NG walks around with all her servants behind her. She bows to the Grand Queen in her room. She tells her that she is finally serving as her daughter in law, she is so happy that she can serve her from now on. The Grand Queen asks her if she is happy to become the Queen. NG says it isn't because she became the Queen, it is because she can serve her. The Queen tells her to care about the former Queen first, she is your sister in law so care about her more than me.
NG leaves in a huff. She walks off and talks to herself about how those old people give her a hard time and still don't know who is in power.
Kang sits on the thrown and thinks this has been a long road, finally, this is his. The spy maid asks him where he wants to sleep tonight. He stands and tells them to bring JH to him. His wife won't be happy if JH becomes his second wife, so before anyone says anything, I will just do it. I will sleep with her and make her my second wife.
The guard asks her what if she doesn't' want to come (this is NG's brother). Kang says to just drag her there.
The brother goes to JH's place and is about to take her out. SU calls him an animal, how can he take her out, they should get married first, how can they just take a Lady to a man's house at night? Everyone knows my daughter and Eun-sung had a love relationship, so leave! Leave my house right now!
KD explains what is happening to JH. JH pulls out a box. She tells KD to bring some powder, she has something to use it for. KD goes and grabs some powder from the storage room. (That powder can kill people).
JH goes outside and tells them that she will go there. It's fine, it's already prearranged. Eun-sung is already dead. We didn't sleep together on our first night. Appa, don't hold your belief for your daughter anymore. It is enough that you did it once. This time it is my turn. I will go there, I will do it. Umma asks what she will do. JH doesn't respond and just leaves with the guards. Umma tries to grab her, but the guards pull her away and tell her that this is an honor for their family, not a disgrace.
JH sits in the carrier and opens the box. There is something inside the box, some clothes, perhaps cosmetics?
NG finds out that it looks like there will be a new wife. She says that she wants to see who it is. In another area, a maid tells JH that she will need new clothes. But JH doesn't' want to remove the box. She keeps it with her by saying it is expensive. She goes and has a bath and gets all her Palace gowns put on. They powder her face and tie up her hair. She opens the box and takes out the ornaments he has in there. She puts one in her hair and looks in the mirror. Then she is led to Kang's room.
NG shows up angry and she walks through the gates upset at the world.
JH goes into Kang's room and stands in front of him. She bows to him. He tells her to sit so she goes and sits next to him. He thought she wouldn't' come. She said a promise is a promise. He says, because Eun-sung is dead, she thought he wouldn't keep the promise. But she says that he is dead, so what can she do with someone that doesn't exist. She says, as he said, Hwi is not here anymore what can she do? He wonders if she changed her mind because he is king. She says it doesn't matter what she thinks.
Kang – I am sorry I didn't invite you formally, the world will change tomorrow.
JH – If you were formal, it would make me more uncomfortable
Kang – Can you pour me a drink?
JH – Before that, can you remove all the people here, there are too many people watching.
Kang – This is the formal thing for a King.
JH – Please remove them.
He goes and removes them.
While he is outside, JH puts the poison in their tea. Kang comes back inside. She pours him the tea.
NG gets to the room and tells the maid that she is disgracing her. She is the mother of this country. The maid says that she is not the Queen yet because she doesn't have the rank formally, if she makes him angry then her position is in danger. You should leave today. NG says that she is the only wife. She tries to go inside. But the maid stops her.
Kang drinks the drink. JH doesn't drink it. He asks her how she came there. With what mind did she come there. This doesn't' feel real, are you really Ja-hyun? After Hwi died, you finally came to me.
JH – Even though he is not in this world, I cannot go to someone else. Kang holds his throat for a moment. Why? Because I am the King now?
JH – Do you want to hear the answer?….. (She takes the ornament from her hair.) I came here to get my revenge!
She pushes him down on the floor.
JH – I came here to kill you myself.

Thanks for the recap!Finally JH does something but I wonder what will happen next, can't wait for ep 14!
I am so glad she is proactive!
Hopefully it wouldn't bring more trouble though. I'm pretty sure the whole General shooting arrow to Hwi was just staged. I just watched episode 12 and it looked like he had second thoughts. Another 17 more hours to go!
PakalanaPikake
Thanks for another dandy recap, V! I watched it raw, and was able to figure out a lot of what happened, but there were some fine points I missed.
Who left a changeling in Ja-hyun's place?! And since when did she turn into Lucretia Borgia crossed with Xena?!
After weeks of getting more and more fed up with her, I'm thrilled that she reached the end of her rope and decided to end the royal family's misery along with her own. My biggest concern is that her entire family and household will be exterminated because of her treason. It's one thing for her to commit suicide by regicide. It's another thing to bring about the horrendous deaths of innocent people.
I've been fantasizing for a while that Ja-hyun would turn on Kang, but I didn't expect it to happen so suddenly the very first chance she got. This is epic, even if Ja-hyun will be executed for treason. If Kang croaks, he will be on the receiving end of what he dished out to Hwi more than once. Karma is bitchtastic.
Ja-hyun could argue that Kang's years of unwanted harassment drove her to do it in self-defense (and revenge). That's the same excuse Kang gave for framing Hwi after feeling as if he were accused of treason for dealing with the Jurchens. How does that shoe feel on the other foot, Your Majesty?
One positively delicious tidbit was learning that Na-gyeom has not officially been installed as queen. If Kang croaks or becomes permanently disabled (and has to abdicate, yeah!) before that happens, she'll be in limbo. I love it. And she knows that he sent for Ja-hyun as soon as he became king and could legally command her to sleep with him. Na-gyeom must be having the mother of all conniptions. Course two of gisaeng Yo-kyung's Revenge is being served ice cold. I can't wait to see what comes next. Hehehe.
In other news, I'm convinced that Hwi faked his own death with the assistance of the island's military commander.
Let's have a moment of silence for the dearly departed whose mortal remains gave Hwi the a means of escape.
JH makes me laugh so hard in how she basically doesn't care about her family at all and they care so much for her. That is so ridiculous! She would basically sentence them all to death by killing Kang! I just laughed so hard because that is the one character trait that remains consistent for her.
I really thought the Gisaeng would bring the ultimate revenge on NG, but it looks like Kang just being Kang is the ultimate revenge on her. She is about to get bumped as Queen and JH is going to be in his her place as the mother of the country. You know Kang is going to take her back even though she tried to kill him, he is that sprung for her.
I actually didn't even miss Hwi this episode, all the other things kept me pretty entertained. I do want him to come back stronger than ever though.
Thanks for the recap. This episode was great! Ja Hyun's resolve to take down Kang, the determination and cold bloodedness in her eyes from the moment she is called to the Palace was actually pretty terrifying. Kang is vile. He is so delusional about everything from the way he plays victim about his mother and Hwi to Ja Hyun ever loving him.
Kang has treated Na Gyeom like crap from Day One. He hasn't even bothered to formally install her as Queen after everything she has done for him. Even more humiliating his first day as King and he immediately summons another woman to his bed to make her his wife. I want to feel bad for Na Gyeom but she is such a nasty person.
I'm certain Hwi's death is staged with the assistance of the commander and I'm assuming we'll get new and improved Hwi who will start kicking some arse from tomorrow.
ROFLMAO at "new and improved Hwi"! You've got that right, Dots.
Kang is gradually losing it. Or maybe his fragile psyche that's been hidden by layers of bullying false bravado is finally being revealed. In the long run, he may end up being a more tragic figure than Hwi, who at least has been loved and knows it. Kang has always felt like an outcast from his family, and probably has been aware on some level that Traitorous Uncle has been using him all along. He's known from the beginning that his father tried to hobble him with marriage to a politically weak and insignificant family. And that his wife, despite her pledge of loyalty, loves only herself and her ambitions.
I'm under the impression that they do not have any children. I wonder if he's purposely avoided having offspring because he knows she'll want to put her own child on the throne — and would have no qualms about getting rid of him to achieve that end.


You know you've reached a level of notoriety when someone creates a Hitler Goes Ballistic meme in your disfavor. Well, now it has happened for our friends at Patreon where a creator dubbed over a clip from the WWII film "Der Untergang / Downfall" and had the charity to cast Patreon CEO Jack Conte as Hitler.
The reported author surely displays courage to craft this, considering that he receives significant funding from Patreon, who's Trust and Safety Team seems bent on wiping out what they disagree with, or what others label as being "Nazi" or such. Casting Mr. Conte as Hitler is worth a laugh in itself for the irony.
The damage resulting from Patreon's ill-advised venture into censorship continues with the departure of both content creators and their patrons.
Among many others, two of Patreon's largest subscribers not only announced their departure but that they also intend to construct a crowd-funding source that they hope will insulate content creators from the whims of Patreon's and other exchanges' staff's political or personal ideals. Many regard their departure not just in terms of protests in the name of free speech, but as sound financial stewardship to protect their own livelihood from a possibly unreliable payment and revenue source.
Yesterday brought us in my view a greatly significant event–the Ebril, Iraq book launch of George Orwell's Animal Farm, translated into the Kurdish Language.
The book was formerly banned under the Saddam Hussein regime; rather obviously for its negative portrayal of how a dictatorship can emerge in a nation or community. Coupled with the dark history that for decades nations such as Turkey proscribed the Kurdish language, the fact that such a work can be sold publicly shows the remarkable transformation that has taken place in the former dictatorship.
Patreon: A Threat to Free Speech Part 3: Would Patreon Censor & Ban Aristotle?
As part of a series of articles regarding censorship by the crowd-funding service Patreon, I now pose the question of whether Patreon, as based upon its current actions and policy, would censor and ban great historical figures such as Aristotle, Jacob Riis, and numerous other contributors to the betterment of the human condition. The men and women of those times certainly did not subscribe to the ideas of 21st century political correctness and were the products of their own times, but since Patreon through its actions seems to conflate the idea of these people as a brand, where an arbitrary set of ideas about the author dictates the value of the content of their ideas or speech. It seems most likely these figures would not have been granted a voice had Patreon been the gatekeeper to their ideas.
What contributions to history might have been lost had the mindset such as that engendered today by Patreon prevailed?
Patreon: A Threat to Free Speech Pt. 2: Your Person is a Brand That Can Be Censored.
As part of a series of articles to be published on how I believe the crowd-funding source Patreon and its current practices represent a threat to free speech we look at insights reported by several current and former patrons and content creators. The conclusion I cannot help but arrive at is that the individual, as evidenced by Patreon's words, represents a "brand" where choices made outside the scope of content posted to Patreon can be used against the user, resulting in their livelihood earned from income being revoked without notice. In other words, if the company does not like you as a person, they can remove your income. The restraint of this form of "depersoning" is just another example of how Americans are steadily losing their hard-won free speech rights.
What began as a laudable business model to fund individual content creators such as writers, bloggers, vloggers, and artists–providing many now with generous incomes aggregated from their subscribers–has devolved into heavy-handed practices antithetical to the basic tenets of Free Speech, small business, and the spirit of Self-Employment and Self-Sufficiency. The platform exercises the worst kind of censorship, cutting off the incomes of individuals and their families for often arbitrary accusations of unacceptable speech off-platform or for association with those Patreon finds objectionable.
This censorship is not just for content hosted by Patreon, as many former subscribers to their service report that they are forced to walk a fine line in their own personal lives for fear that Patreon's "Trust and Safety" team will take away their patrons and lifestyle for engaging in wrong-think or speech.
This October twenty-sixth, voters in Ireland will decide at the polls if the country's prohibition on blasphemy should be removed from the nation's constitution. It comes for me as a welcome sign of some progress against what otherwise was a trend in Western Europe toward establishing an international blasphemy standard that many regard as censorship and a vehicle for possible criminal prosecution of speech and expression.
While the Irish government has insisted that no persons have been successfully prosecuted for blasphemy since the 1850s, the existence of any such statute serves as leverage by the state to control what its citizens may say or what behavior it considers objectionable. The time for repeal I believe has arrived.
Does Lighting Fireworks Constitute Free Speech?
With the coming this week of this year's Independence Day, I thought we would revisit an article from 2016 and pose a question to you. Does the use of fireworks constitute protected free speech?
A tradition spanning multiple generations in the United States is that a large portion of our society celebrates and shows tribute to the United States through the lighting and observance of fireworks. Yet numerous municipalities and counties impose sweeping and total bans of fireworks. Some statutes regulate the type of firework allowable, such as those having a ferocity that safety requires certified technicians. Others ban benign devices such as snakes and small fountains.
But does a complete ban on fireworks regardless of size constitute an infringement on the first amendment rights of citizens?
Having seen over the years protesters engaged in voicing their grievances in fashions ranging from the peaceful to the violent, I believe it is incumbent to provide a guidelines in the hope of furthering a cause without the distractions that spill over into not only silencing important messages but preventing consequences that hurt others.
I propose the idea of Honorable Civil Disobedience.
A nefarious, existential threat was recently vanquished by the post-coup censorship offices of Turkish President Erdoğan. No, it was not the PKK, nor ISIS, nor Fethullah Gülen. It was SpongeBob SquarePants and Smurfette, broadcast on a Kurdish Language children's television network.
The media crackdown in the aftermath of the failed coup in Turkey has led to closures of dozens of news services and thousands of firings among journalists. Cartoon networks can now become labeled as seditious.
Apparently, SpongeBob's cohort Squidward Tentacles nefariously slithered into the fabric of the state's security apparatus and cunningly attempted to dismantle it from within. His ink: it sows discord by fueling the printing presses of subversives.
We wish you a festive and joyful Independence Day and pose a question to you. Does the use of fireworks constitute protected free speech? We revisit this issue from a previous article of last year.
We have seen many incidents of lower courts ordering those convicted of crimes to endure unusual punishments: some as novel as holding signs advertising that they are criminals; requiring the cutting hair of their children; or forced attendance in Church. While these are fundamentally unusual, a case before us here fortunately never rose to these levels of miscarried justice.
An appellant argued before the Washington Supreme Court that a letter compelled by a juvenile court, mandating an apology to the victim of a sexual assault, violated his free speech rights by imposing a government mandated speech of which he objected.
Many might see the matter as a minor requirement to apologize to a victim and not "worth the trouble" on behalf of the defendant, or, perhaps representing a rather cold hearted approach by the defendant to contest such a matter out of spite. Yet, the Court likely granted review due to the compelled speech question not having been previously addressed in Washington.
Previous case law in the state tends to much favor free speech which is interpreted to be afforded greater protection within purview of the state constitution, and in most cases provides greater rights than the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Free speech rights in Germany took another worrying turn for the worse when German Chancellor Angela Merkel personally approved an investigation of a German citizen accused of insulting Turkey's President Recep Erdoğan, a world leader personally responsible for the erosion of free speech in this NATO member state.
The timing and enthusiasm, despite proffers to the contrary, of the German government's persecution of satirist Jan Böhmermann for his broadcast of a poem critical of President Erdoğan coincides directly with the German Government trying to reach a re-settlement agreement with Turkey to address the refugee crisis besieging many European nations–a situation politically damaging to Merkel's image.
We featured numerous articles relating to President Erdoğan's attacks on newspapers, individuals, internationals, and any critics of him who are within reach of this grasp, citing a bizarre form of Lèse majesté laws as justification. Now, Merkel is demonstrating a willingness to use a rather dusty remnant of such a statute in Germany as a tool to preserve the ego of a foreign head of state, to accomplish a domestic political goal.
For his part, Mr Böhmermann risks five years incarceration for the act of reciting poetry. In several day's time, he became a convenient scapegoat to placate a foreign leader bent on resurrecting a Neo-Ottoman-Empire, with Erdoğan as its sultan.

Vatican Urges Catholics to Share Ramadan
News: World News
by Jules Gomes • ChurchMilitant.com • May 2, 2020
Historian of jihad slams Holy See's surrender to Islam
VATICAN CITY (ChurchMilitant.com) - The Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue is encouraging Christians to join in the Islamic iftar 'ritual' meal on the occasion of the Muslim festival of Ramadan.
In a Ramadan greeting to "Muslim brothers and sisters" Friday, the Vatican dicastery called upon Christians and Muslims to "protect together" mosques and churches and quoted the prophet Isaiah 56:7 affirming that "a place of worship of any religion therefore is 'a house of prayer.'"
Pope Francis and Sheikh Al-Tayyeb in Abu Dhabi
"For us, your Christian friends, it is a propitious time to further strengthen our relationships with you, by greeting you, meeting you on this occasion and, where possible, by sharing in an Iftar with you," the statement read.
Speaking to Church Militant, world-renowned Islamic scholar Robert Spencer said he was disturbed by the Vatican's "assumptions that arise from Vatican II declarations about Muslims together with us adoring the God of Abraham."
"By participating in iftars, Christians are helping celebrate an imperative to conquer and subjugate them," he noted. "Iftar is not just a meal. It is the breaking of the Ramadan fast every evening. Ramadan is a month devoted to intensifying one's observance of Islam and growing more righteous."
"In Islam, the most righteous deed of all is jihad, which most prominently involves warfare against and the subjugation of non-Muslims. A hadith has a Muslim asking Muhammad: 'Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward).' Muhammad replied, 'I do not find such a deed' (Bukhari 4.52.44)," Spencer explained.
Author of the bestselling The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS, the historian told Church Militant he was also shocked by the Vatican drawing a parallel "between the destruction of churches and mosques in this age or any age."
"Such equivalence demonstrates historical illiteracy as throughout history thousands, if not tens of thousands, of churches have been turned into mosques in order to demonstrate the superiority of Islam over Christianity, and the victory of Muslims over Christians," Spencer observed.
The foremost example of this is the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. Also the Umayyad Mosque, formerly the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Damascus. The mosque of Cordoba might seem to be an equivalent example of a mosque that was converted into a church, but it is just a single example against a mountain of examples on the Islamic side. Islam explicitly proclaims that it is the true embodiment of Christ's teachings, and that Christianity is illegitimate. This has worked out for 1,400 years in the destruction or conversion of churches.
A Rome-based biblical scholar who spoke to Church Militant on condition of anonymity lambasted the Holy See "for twisting Scripture like the devil did on the Mount of Temptation."
By participating in iftars, Christians are helping celebrate an imperative to conquer and subjugate them.
"The Old Testament verse from Isaiah, 'for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples,' cited in the Vatican statement, is quoted by Jesus in the gospels. Jesus add the words: 'but you have turned it into a den of robbers,'" he said.
"Both Isaiah and Jesus are referring to the Jerusalem Temple as the place that would be thrown open to all nations as a house of prayer. Jesus proclaims that he, himself, is the new temple and only through him we can have salvation," he explained.
"To use this Isaianic verse as a prooftext to claim that 'a place of worship of any religion ... is 'a house of prayer,' is poor exegesis at best and perverse interpretation at worst," he added. "It is an insult to both Judaism and Christianity and a mockery of Jesus' Great Commission to go to the ends of the earth to preach the gospel and baptize."
In its Ramadan statement, the Vatican recalled Pope Francis' words on a visit to the Heydar Aliyev Mosque, in Baku (Azerbaijan) in 2016: "Meeting one another in fraternal friendship in this place of prayer is a powerful sign, one that shows the harmony which religions can build together, based on personal relations and on the good will of those responsible."
To use this Isaianic verse as a prooftext to claim that 'a place of worship of any religion ... is 'a house of prayer,' is poor exegesis at best and perverse interpretation at worst.
But Spencer slammed the pontiff's words as "ignoring, as do all modern Church statements about Islam, that religion's deeply embedded doctrines that completely delegitimize Christianity and call for warfare against Christians and those of other faiths, with mosques as the base of operations (qaeda)."
"This is why we have seen weapons stockpiled in so many mosques around the world," Spencer added, pointing out that the pope "would do well to consider who exactly is being worshiped in mosques, when Muslims have so very often, in so many countries, come out of Friday prayers and violently attacked non-Muslims.
Pope Francis kissing the feet of Muslim migrants
"But as always, such incidents, of which there are very many, are completely ignored in Rome," he lamented.
Taji Mustafa, a member of radical Islamic group Hizb ut-Tahrir, Britain, encourages Muslims to invite Christians and other non-Muslims to share iftar meals because "it is the best possible way" a Muslim can engage in dawah (missionary activity) in the West.
We are not here in the West "simply to get rich or have a better life" but "we are the ambassadors of Islam," he stresses, "and Allah says wherever you are as a Muslim, invite [others] to the way of your lord. ... invite them to an iftar."
Answering a question whether it is forbidden (haram) to invite non-Muslims for iftar, an online Islamic forum responds: "It is permissible to have iftar with non-Muslims if there is a Shariah reason for doing so, such as calling them to the true religion [Islam], or softening their hearts towards Islam, etc. which are what is hoped for if they come and eat iftar at the tables set up for communal iftar."
"But if it is done just to be friendly towards them and enjoy their company, this is a dangerous matter, because the principle of al-wala' wa'l-bara' (befriending the believers and showing enmity towards the disbelievers) is one of the basic principles of Islam, and one of the most important duties of the believers," the forum advises.
On Saturday, the Vatican-backed Higher Committee of Human Fraternity, set up after Pope Francis signed the document "Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together" with Grand Imam of Al-Azhar al-Tayyeb, is proposing that, on May 14, "each one from wherever they are and according to the teachings of their religion, faith, or sect, should implore God to lift this pandemic off us and the entire world."

The J.H. Cox house on Warm Springs is one of the most elegant in Boise. It was built in 1906 for realtor Lindley H. Cox and was designed by Tourtellotte & Co. The cost of the house was originally $12,000 and Cox decided to build this house on the best land available so he could get the most out of his house. When it was constructed in 1906, it was known that it was going to be a marvel. It was one of the first houses in Boise to have a sanitary plumbing system. This house is extremely beautiful and awe inspiring, it's a shame we couldn't go inside. This house was held up by these gigantic Ionic style pillars that went around the house so that shows the presence of the Greek revival style in the house. Also the large portion of the house was Colonial. It was made out of wood mostly and painted white. The windows really give it away, there are many single windows and a few doubles thrown in. But the one at the top of the house really gives it away, it is that colonial half circle like window that you see on the colonial style houses. An interesting aspect of the house is the availability to get outdoors. Counting from the original house there were somewhere around 5 porches including one square shaped one that sat on the very top of the house. Also another feature that shows the colonial style was the chimney you could see the outside edge of the chimney from the outside that was very common in the colonial style houses. The colonial style was also present in the door. The door had a huge window in the middle of it; also on the sides of the door are two windows that are roughly the same height as the door but not the same width. From what I got to see of the inside of the house there are the Greek style Ionic pillars all throughout the house reminding everyone of the presence of the Greek style. Although the majority of the house is the same as it was when it was built, recently there has been construction on the house. Earlier the house was wider where a porch on the roof stretched, but recently the owners of the house had a portion of the house torn down and one of the porches taken down. That space was used for a drive way for the family's car and a new fence was put in because since it was built Boise has expanded and they have neighbors now.

Titus Flavius Alexander
By Titus Flavius Alexander, April 6, 2019 in Senatore
Titus Flavius Alexander 108
Face claim: Matt Gordon
33 | 12 June 40 CE | Nobiles-Senatores | Occupation | Bisexual | Canon | Matt Gordon
Titus is an ambitious man and has always been a hard worker who demands much of those under him – and has high expectations of those above him, expectations which are often enough not met, at least in his opinion. He keeps people on their toes, and believes that if they too want to rise they must work for it. He is a natural leader, though, and has a certain hard charisma that the men who have served under him can appreciate. He is very intelligent, and a good tactical thinker, more so than a bold, fearless warrior. And although not a brash risk taker, he knows when to take make his move, and when to hold back. He can be quite patient in that regard, somewhat like a snake awaiting its prey, still as stone, but striking fast.
Generous with praise when it is deserved, he is also short tempered and quick to show his ire when someone is acting stupid, lazy or incompetent. He hates wasting time or energy faffing about. With an economy of effort he wants results in the most efficient way they can be achieved. Typically he has a clear vision of what he wants to do, and he simply wants to get on with the job. His positive, optimistic outlook inspires those around him and that is part of his effectiveness as a leader of men.
He can also be quite moody at times, especially if he feels thwarted or brushed aside. He can hold a grudge, biding his time until he sees the opportunity to take some form of revenge. Sometimes he even puts plans in motion to accomplish just that. Although possessed of the type of character that can lie easily, without remorse or reservation, or manipulate others into doing what he wants., when it serves his advantage to do so, he rarely, if ever, is anything but absolutely candid with his powerful family connections. The man is not an idiot. He is completely loyal to Caesar and hopes to keep the empire stable and prospering, as he feels that will serve his own ambitions best.
In terms of his personal relationships, Titus was married seven years ago to a beautiful young woman, Caesennia Nebetia, and he is quite a good husband to her. Surprisingly, he did not make the match for political or financial gain, which is somewhat outside of his usual modus operendi. His motivations were his own, and although he doesn't dote on her, he does hold her in a very valued, very unique position in his life. It's a sound marriage, to date, and he treats her well, according to the standards of the time. Thus far, she has borne him two children, though only one has survived. The first, a son, was stillborn. Titus was quite disappointed and aggrieved, but held up stoically as would be expected. The second child was a girl, their daughter Titia, affectionately known as Tia. She is four years old now and the apple of her father's eye. Now on her he dotes, openly affectionate and happily spending time with her. He loves her dearly, but has now eagerly anticipated his wife telling him that she is again with child. Hopefully it will be soon, and hopefully, this time, it will be a healthy son.
Titus is tall for a Roman male, standing a few inches over most of his contemporaries. He has a lean, athletic build, with a tanned complexion and slightly weathered visage denoting a man who has spent much of his life out of doors. He looks like a soldier - hard, fit, rugged. Scars big and small are scattered across his body. A sizeable one runs down his right side, courtesy of a spear that raked instead of found its way home into his heart. Another shows where his knee was badly smashed by a falling horse, and he sometimes has a bit of a limp, when the weather is cold and damp. On his left temple, another, several inches running into his hair - but this from an enraged lover who took an oil lamp to his head.
His coloring is not unusual for his nationality and race. Brown hair of a middling shade is kept short and neat. Hazel colored eyes look out sharply from well defined brows. His nose is long, thin and aquiline, set evenly between high, sharp cheekbones, flanked on either side by a strong, masculine face and prominent jawline. He looks to be the kind of man that will grow more and more bony with age, as opposed to running to fat. His gait is assured, befitting a man who has known every advantage in life since his birth.
Clothing was never of especial importance to Titus, for the most part being of a practical and utilitarian cut and fashion. However he recognizes that symbols of wealth and position can be seen as some as important as a man's character, and history. So he allows his personal slave to make sure he dresses as a man of his rank should. He isn't fabulously wealthy. But he has enough to buy what he needs to make the right impression.

CHILDHOOD [40 C.E. - 52 C.E.]:
*Titus was born in 40 C.E., into an up and coming family of Rome. The rise to political power of the Flavii-Alexandrae began in the time of Augustus. Gaius Flavius Alexander, his great-grandfather, was the first of the family to sit in the Senate. His grandfather had been known for his oratory skills. Titus' own father, and his father's older brother, were renown military leaders of the Roman Army – Titus' father having made an especial contribution to Roman efforts vis a vis Parthia, in the East.
Titus was raised in Rome. His early year were overseen by his mother, with only occasional visits from his father, who was busy with military campaigns. He led a relatively happy life as a child, having all his basic needs met and with luxury above and beyond that. He was educated as the eldest son of one of the senatorial class would be, and eventually took up his training with soldiering skills. It was always a given that he would follow in his father's footsteps as a military leader, with a view towards one day possibly hanging up his sword and entering the Senate. By the time he entered his teens and it seemed likely that he would be his father's only son, the pressure to do well and uphold the family's reputation and pride was just that much more evident.
TEENAGE TO EARLY ADULT [53 C.E. - 62 C.E.]:
Titus did not shy away from that responsibility. He relished the thought of making a name for himself, and in so doing honoring his ancestors and his father. He was an ambitious young man, who was only all to glad to see the near constant rise of the elder branch of the Flavii-Alexandrae, led by his uncle, Cnaeus Flavius Alexander, and then his eldest son, Titus's cousin, Quintus. He was very much the junior of most of his first cousins sired by Cneaus. Yet he grew to understand and follow the intricacies of their rise to near supreme power, with his cousin (now deceased) Lucilla marrying the emperor Claudius. He saw in their good fortunes his own ascendant star and as a child and then a teen, had formed a fairly strong friendship with one of his younger cousins, Octavius. Though there was a gap of seven years in their ages, the two were close and this friendship would last into their adulthood and right up until the current time.
When Titus was eighteen, a friend of his father's called for him to come to North Africa. Titus was sent to serve as tribune in the Ala Auxiliae I Claudia Numidica, a non-legionary auxillary regiment, consisting of 480 cavalry, mostly Berbers, which had been founded by Claudius, in 40 C.E.
**The Ala was headquartered in Caesarea, a city whose roots went far back in the history of the ancient kingdom of Numidia. Approximately 100 km west of modern day Algiers, Caesarea gained its new, Roman name from Queen Cleopatra Selene II, daughter of Cleopatra and Marc Antony, and her husband, Juba II, last king of Numidia. Appointed rulers of the newly established client kingdom of Mauretania, they rebuilt the city in the last few decades of the B.C. era, in the Greco-Roman style. The city boasted a mixture of Ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman architecture, and was home to a theater, an art collection, and a lighthouse similar to the one in Alexandria. It was an important sea port to the southern Mediterranean, with a population comprised mostly of Greek, Phoenician and Berber residents.
Four years after a revolt which began in 40 C.E., Emperor Claudius regained control of Mauretania and divided it into two provinces, Caesaria becoming the capital city of the eastern province, Mauretania Caesariensis. Roman soldiers were stationed there permanently and it was made a colonia, being sometimes called Colonia Claudia Caesarea.
Although close to a century had gone into creating a city in the likeness of Rome, Caesarea was far from a carbon copy of that wondrous place. Still, Titus was young and eager to begin his military career, and North Africa seemed exotic rather than bleak or lacking. He threw himself into his duties and did enough to impress the Legatus as being energetic, dependable and intelligent. War was not present in that place at that time, which was a bit disappointing. But Titus did have some opportunity to experience soldiering in numerous minor skirmishes against local tribes who, no doubt, were wary of the ongoing growth of the Roman influence and power in the coastal areas between the Mediterranean and the Atlas Mountains to the South.
ADULTHOOD [62 C.E. - 74 C.E.]:
It was there in Caesarea that Titus met the girl he would eventually come to marry. Caesennia was fifteen when he first made her acquaintance, and though it was hardly a case of romantic love at first sight, Titus was certainly captivated, by her looks, and made it a point to find out more about this youngest daughter of a large family, headed up by a Roman of senatorial rank. Hhe made it a point to learn what he could and arrange to attend various social events where he might bump into the girl.
For several months he made the effort to get to know her, or, absent that, to get to know more about her. Titus resolved to marry Caesennia, even without asking permission or guidance from his uncle, Quintus Flavius Alexander, who had taken up his position as pater familias, as Quintus' father had passed away. As fate would have it, his resolve was formed right on the cusp of what was to prove a horrible disaster for his family back in Rome.
When word reached him of the purges going on in Rome, Titus knew he could not stay in Caesarea. One, it was unsafe, with the long arm of the newly self-proclaimed Emperor reaching even to North Africa to get at and destroy any possible claimants to the Imperial throne. Secondly, he could not sit idly by and let Clemens get away with his heinous crimes. By necessity, he had to put his marriage plans aside, arranging a hasty betrothal before leaving Caesarea to meet up with his cousin, Jullus, in Carhtage. It was Jullus who relayed the true shocking story of what had occurred, to his own family, and many of those associated with the Flavii-Alexandrae.
Titus learned that he had lost his father, his mother, and his younger sister to Clemens' murderous schemes. His older sister, Cordelia, lost her husband and older daughter, but was somehow able to escape with her two younger children. Beyond his immediate family, Titus was stunned to hear of other relations, friends and anyone who had the misfortune to be seen as a possible claimant to imperial power, no matter how remote. Returning to Rome to mourn and immolate the dead wasn't even a possibility. Titus set sail for Syria, and there joined his cousin Quintus, as well as his other cousin and boyhood friend, Octavius, and he served Quintus as he defeated Scaurus, and then moved on to tackle Cotta. In the space of a few months, Quintus had marched upon Rome and brought the traitor Clemens to heel, and claimed imperial rule for himself, with the support of the war weary citizens of Rome, both within the city itself and in most of the far flung. Empire. It was only then that Titus was able to reunite with his surviving sister and other family members, and together they performed the traditional mourning rituals for the loved ones they had lost.
At this point, Titus had been gone from Caesarea for just a little less than a year. He had some hope that he might be sent back to North Africa, and he meant to claim Caesennia as his bride. But his cousin honored him by keeping him on as a tribune in his forces, as he, Qunitus, moved on from Rome into Gaul, to secure the northern borders with Germania. Titus was pleased, and was able to establish some communication with the girl he meant to marry, someday. It would prove years though before he could actually return for her. Years spent in military duty with Caesar, moving on to Britannia after Quintus was satisfied with his accomplishments in Gaul. Another year passed, and finally, early in 66 C.E., Titus returned to Rome alongside the troops that had helped to secure an entire empire. But as soon as he was given leave, off to Caesarea he sailed.
His return brought with it some unexpected reactions. But ultimately, he made good his promises of the years preceding. A wedding took place and the two sailed back to Rome with what might have been haste. But there were reasons for this, and in the public eye, Titus could not be faulted for wanting to get back to the pulsing, vibrant center of the Empire where he could make sure he was not forgotten. As was to be expected for an up and coming young man of his class, he did not linger long cooling his heels in Rome. He was sent back to Gaul early in 67 C.E. to aid his cousin Jullus in efforts to send Roman legions across the Rhine. He was appointed as the Legatus of the Auxiliae VII Daria Gallorum, one of the cavalry units stationed in Germania Superior . Here he accumulated a few more scars in the fighting with the Germans. Having left a pregnant Caesennia in Rome, Titus was sorely disappointed to receive news that the child, a son, was still born. He returned to Rome when he could, and was once again with his wife long enough to leave her pregnant once more. When he returned permanently from his appointment in Germania – two years spent in near perpetual skirmishing – the gods, and his wife, rewarded him with the birth of a healthy daughter, whom they named Titia.
Titus greatly enjoyed the time he was able to spend in Rome with his wife and child. His cousin honored him once again by selecting him as Quaestor Augusti, basically something like a personal secretary and messenger who served Caesar directly. This was Titus' first real introduction to political life, though he was more of an observer, and listener, than any sort of decision maker. Still, cousin and secretary to Caesar, he found many men showed him deference and respect. He enjoyed this on some levels, but having now spent most of the past decade plus in the military, he also was a bit contemptuous of anyone who was too unctuous or sycophantic, especially those who apparently had no backbone for armed conflict. But he kept his mouth shut and learned as much as he could from something that often resembled a fly on the wall position, close to the seat of power.
After two years in Rome, though, Quintus had need to send Titus elsewhere, this time appointing him Legatus Legionis of Legio IX Claudia, in Dacia, where once again insurrection was bubbling. With his appointment of three years ended, Titus returned to Rome a month ago to have some much deserved time with his wife, who was once again pregnant, and their daughter. As of early 74 C.E., Titus has given some thought to seeking election as Praetor or running for a seat in the Senate. But first and foremost, he wants to spend some time with his family, reconnecting with a wife that he's seen little enough of since their wedding seven years ago, and a now five year old daughter.

Last month I attended a 3 day JISC Netskills workshop at Newcastle University entitled 'e-learning Essentials'. Based on this particularly uninspiring title, I was prepared for the course to cover already well-trodden ground. However, I quickly found it to be the antithesis; within the first hour the unexpectedly inspiring trainer Danny McAtominey was making me think about e-learning in a way I had not considered in some time.
The course focussed heavily on learning theory and rationale with the first day spent entirely away from technology (in fact during the three days I did not learn about a single new tool or piece of software). We looked at educational taxonomies, instructional design cycles and pedagogical frameworks (the kind of diagrams I do not doubt we all have copies of but so rarely dig out and consult) and how these align with and inform course design.
So often it feels as though we are tagging technology onto current practice (technology enhanced learning?) and although this can (and does) positively impact teaching and learning, I can never help thinking that we are only really scratching the surface. Danny really helped to shift the focus away from the technology and a tool driven approach to the learning and course design. He put forward a very strong argument for scenario based, multi-disciplinary courses that put the online delivery on an equal footing with the classroom teaching.
Since attending the course I have been much more considerate and analytical when approaching even the most seemingly simple of requests from teaching staff; really thinking about the motivation behind using technology and how it may allow all types of learners to access higher levels of engagement.
In all, the course has at most changed the way I view e-learning or at least recalled to me a perspective I have held in the past (a little like being shown a photograph of a place you once visited). This being so, by the end of the course, I had revised my opinion and felt 'e-learning Essentials' was a wholly accurate description. I would therefore highly recommend it to even the most experienced practitioner, as much for the time it provides to reflect on e-learning in general, as for the content covered.
Please note, there are currently no workshops scheduled but I have been informed by JISC that there will be deliveries taking place at Euston and Newcastle later in the year and next year. More information can be found at e-Learning Essentials.
I guess the old adage "don't Judge a book by it's cover" probably resonates here..
Can only be a good thing and serves to illustrate the course you have attended has probably added real value to the world, if everyone adopted these principles we would see giant leaps in the quality of education as a whole.
Mediocrity is the enemy of excellence!


Mangoes are one of the most commonly eaten tropical fruits in the world. Their flavor tastes similar to a peach. Caring for a mango tree by meeting its growth requirements will produce a lush, beautiful tree that gives an abundance of fruit for years. Mangoes are tropical trees, growing best when planted outdoors in the tropical and subtropical climates--U.S. Hardiness zones 9 and 10. Mangoes are classified in two varieties, the colorful Indian types and the less colorful Indo-Chinese. All varieties of mangoes require the same care.
Select the warmest area of your landscape that receives full sun to grow your mango tree. Mangoes grow best in warm, sunny locations and will not do well growing in the shade.
Grow the mango tree in well-drained soil amended with organic matter. Add a fresh layer of compost to the soil twice a year. Mangoes planted in heavy soil, such as clay, will develop root rot and die.
Clear the growing area of weeds and grasses, keeping it weed-free at all times. Clear an area of approximately 3 to 4 feet in diameter around the trunk of the tree to allow water and fertilizer to leach into the soil, unhindered by vegetation.
Protect the mango from freezing temperatures by covering it with Christmas lights or a blanket. If using a blanket, place a 60-watt outdoor light under the cover to help keep the tree warm. Water the soil well the day before the expected freeze.
Water the mango two to three times per week during the warmer months, keeping the soil moist. In winter, water once every week or two. Keeping the tree regularly watered will produce a larger harvest of fruit.
Fertilize only with organic compost for the first two years. After the tree has matured, add a nitrogen-rich fertilizer designed specifically for mangoes. Fertilize three times per year with an application dose that is half of what the package recommends. Less is more when growing mangoes.
Prune your mango tree to remove only dead wood. The tree does not require further pruning.
Anthracnose, powdery mildew, mites and scale can afflict mango trees. Choose a treatment or insecticide designed specifically for the problem but safe for use on mangoes.


Pauline Terlouw studied the violin in Germany with violinist Wolfram König. She was a member of the Gustav Klimt Quartet for many years. At the moment she is part of the regular core of the Orion Ensemble and is violinist in the Metropole Orchestra. Since 2005 she has been a member of the Dutch String Trio. Besides she is a regular teacher at the Dutch summer classes of chamber music.


The next time you think you just don't have time to have meaningful conversations with your team, whether about their role, their careers, or things that matter to them, think again. As you'll see in our infographic below, there are tangible business benefits from conversations.
We know from research by Gallup that managers and leaders are the biggest factor influencing employee engagement. Relationships between employees and team leaders are built one conversation at a time. What might feel like small talk in the moment can have tremendous benefits in the future.
Organizations with top employee engagement ratings see many benefits to their performance.
Higher productivity, better customer metrics, and lower rates of absenteeism are just a few of the benefits of an engaged workforce.
Conversely, unengaged employees feel disconnected from their teams, and therefore have high turnover rates and low productivity.
To engage your team and better understand what truly motivates your team, engage them in regular conversation. You'll begin to get a picture of their lives outside of the workplace, and can design assignments and rewards that matter most to them. Learning more about career aspirations can help you find training opportunities that will engage and excite your team. Chatting with an employee about their family life means that you are able to offer benefits that align to meaningful events and stressful situations. Even something as small as connecting over a television show, podcast, or book, can deepen connections and help the team be excited to come into work and discuss something that they are interested in. These types of conversations will strengthen relationships and improve engagement.
The data is clear: teams in the top-quartile of engagement see higher customer metrics, higher productivity, higher profitability, and lower absenteeism.
It may feel counterintuitive—improving the quality of work despite the fact that the conversations you are having are not specifically about the work itself. The next time you think "I'm too busy to take time for 'small talk' at work", think about how one conversation at a time, you can influence your business metrics and engagement levels within your team.
You may not always be able to offer financial incentives to your team, but you can always have a conversation with them. By opening up and encouraging ongoing and meaningful dialogue, you will learn about what motivates them, and what challenges they are facing. Your team will repay you with better performance, new ideas, and a renewed spirit of collaboration. Start a conversation today!

Anti-Depressant Blamed For Woman's Suicide—Investigation Launched into the Drug
After a mother of two committed suicide because of being increasingly dependent on an anti-depressant, an investigation has been started into the drug.
Last year, on October 25, Yvonne Woodley, 42, was discovered by her husband Kevin hanging in the loft of the family home in Solihull, West Midlands. Before six months of her death, her Citalopram's dosage was increased by six GPs she consulted. The drug had a reversed affect. It made her more disturbed and she often used to express her wish to die.
I lost ten years of my life as a middle class, NHS sponsored drug addict…
Philip Robinson was 25 when he went to his GP with mild depression. The pills he was prescribed changed his life, turning him into a 'zombie-like' addict — just one of the 1.5 million Britons whose lives have been ruined by prescription drugs. Here, with extraordinary candour, he reveals how he battled to get his life back.

exRNAs as functional biomarkers of insulin resistance
Recent research from members of the ExRNA Communication Consortium (ERCC) suggests that extracellular RNAs (exRNAs) circulating in plasma play an active role in insulin resistance (IR). Insulin resistance is an incurable but manageable syndrome where the body stops reacting efficiently to the insulin hormone, which stimulates the uptake of glucose in the blood into cells and inhibits the body from using fat for energy, resulting in high blood sugar levels. The study, by Shav et al., points to certain exRNAs, particularly miR-122 and miR-192, as indicators and active players in IR regardless of the age, sex, or BMI of a person, which suggests that they may serve as more than metabolic markers and that they perhaps have functional, trans-organ roles in mediating IR.
Previous research has demonstrated that exRNAs have different functions in pathways relating to metabolic syndrome, which is a series of conditions that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. For example, there is measurable miRNA dysregulation in obesity and in the progression of cardiometabolic disease. Other miRNAs are involved in brown/white fat specification, adipose tissue inflammation (Karbiener and Scheideler, 2014), and hepatic steatosis (fatty liver disease, Becker et al., 2015). Although these studies have identified specific exRNAs and miRNA networks that also have roles in IR, they have had either small sample sizes and lack validation in large populations or have been carried out in non-human models. In order to validate these data, the authors carried out a large-scale human translational study in which they analyzed detailed obesity-related phenotypic data from over 2,500 participants (most of whom were non-diabetic) from the Framingham Heart Study (FHS), an unrelated cardiovascular disease study (Feinleib et al., 1975).
To begin, the investigators analyzed blood samples from 2,317 non-diabetic study participants and quantified the plasma extracellular circulating exRNAs. They looked at RNAs [including piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) and small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA)] expressed above a threshold level and excluded RNAs that were not found in at least 100 participants. From the resulting panel of 391 exRNAs, the investigators identified 16 microRNAs (miRNA), 1 piRNA, and 1 snoRNA that were associated with insulin after controlling for age, sex, and BMI. Of note, the abundance of miR-122 was shown to increase in a stepwise fashion as levels of insulin increased across the population. Higher levels of both miR-122 and miR-192 in the plasma were also consistently associated with a series of metabolic phenotypes, such as greater BMI and waist circumference, visceral fat quantity and quality, and liver attenuation. On the other hand, neither miRNA was associated with subcutaneous fat. These results were consistent whether the analysis included only the non-diabetic participants or the entire FHS population.
miRNAs function to regulate gene expression, so the authors conducted a pathway analysis to determine the targets of the 16 identified miRNAs. Almost unsurprisingly, all 16 miRNAs target insulin signaling pathways such that there is ample crosstalk and targeting of multiple IR-related genes by multiple miRNAs. This analysis validated findings from previous studies that implicated several miRNA target genes in the pathogenesis of IR, notably protein tyrosine phosphatase, nonreceptor type 1 (PTP1B) (Stull et al., 2012), mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) (Wang, Goalstone & Draznin, 2004), and 5′ adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) (Ruderman et al., 2013).
For the second part of the study, the investigators determined whether the miR-122 and miR-192 associations to age, sex, and BMI held true in a separate study population, a cohort of 90 overweight or obese young adults involved in the POOL study. Analyses of the youths' plasma samples indicated that miR-122 (but not miR-192) was associated with greater IR after adjusting for age, sex, and BMI, and that this association remained even after the miRNA was analyzed independently of age, sex, BMI, or metabolite profile.
This study provides additional evidence and translational support for the role of exRNAs in IR. The findings indicate not only an association of exRNAs with insulin levels, but that the exRNAs may be playing an active role in the development or sustainment of IR. It is therefore critical to conduct further mechanistic investigations into the role of exRNAs in the metabolic architecture of IR.
