Your sun sign reveals (along with your Moon and Ascendant) how you are meant to shine in this lifetime. It is the challenging creative impulses that may lead you far from home and into your deepest interests. You sun sign will point you to where you seek self-realization, to the fullest expression of your creativity and your generosity, and give you the opportunity to experience your life as deeply charged with meaning.
How do you gauge if you're living "on purpose?" It's pretty simple — if you feel alive and as if you're moving slowly but steadily towards your goals, then you are on target. And if you're depressed, lethargic and feeling hopeless, you're probably not. If you are not doing what you feel called to do with your life then every cell in your body is calling out through resistance, depression and perhaps even illness. If you're in a deadening job or relationship, you're turning away from your light, and the inertia and frustration you feel is the proof. Deep down you know if you're leaving your life unlived and your potential unexpressed.
Until one is committed there is always hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way . . .
When you're making strides forward, no matter how small, you're helping yourself and coincidentally, help will magically find you. It doesn't matter if you're drawn to be the best dog trainer in the world, or to learn to teach children music, or to swim a 400-meter breaststroke. What matters is that desire, buried under all the concerns of your daily life, still burns quietly. When you're moving towards what you want to be and what you want to do, you'll feel quietly confident that you are unique in what you offer, as is every one else.
The realization and expression of the life's purpose is the underlying archetypal goal for the sun in the horoscope. This may seem to be a wildly different interpretation of sun signs, especially if you have only seen little descriptive generalizations along the lines of "Leos love attention, this is the most generous and most narcissistic sign of the zodiac." Yet, even these generalized, standard interpretations give us a trail of crumbs to follow to our heart's desire, which will manifest differently in a Leo than with a Libra. These simple, basic interpretations can only do so much, as they can't include the effects of the other planets that play important roles in the expression of your energies.
A birth chart reading by a psychic, professional astrologer will reveal your sun sign and your life purpose. They can give a complete interpretation of the birth chart which also includes where you'll experience challenges or setbacks, the other planets that symbolize your gifts, and the revelation as to where spiritual assistance is available for you. To get to know yourself through your birth chart can be the first step to begin living fully.
Our psychic astrologers will unlock the secrets held within your stars.

Board of Supervisor
The Board Corner: Perspectives from Penny – It Happy New Year! Following a dreadful pandemic year for our county and our country, many are approaching 2021 cautiously. Vaccines are being approved and distributed, but estimates are that it will be late spring or early summer before the majority of people will be immunized. In the meantime, masks, social distancing, and hand washing protocols must be observed. These healthy practices protect all of us.
At the beginning of last year, it appeared that the decennial census and the presidential election would be the big stories of the new decade. Both paled in the wake of the pandemic but, as I write this, the election continues to make front page news, even though all states have certified their results, and the Electoral College has voted. The census numbers are expected to be released by the federal government in the spring; then redistricting begins. Virginia General Assembly redistricting is expected to be addressed by an independent commission; redistricting at the county level will be led by a citizen committee that makes recommendations, with adoption by the Board of Supervisors. In both 2001 and 2011, the redistricting process made a few adjustments to magisterial district boundaries, and 2021 is expected to have similar results.
To date, little snow has fallen, but there is information elsewhere in this newsletter from the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) that may be helpful when the white flakes start falling. Also in this edition is some updated land use news, including the Site Specific Plan Amendment (SSPA) nominations in Mason District, and the modernized draft Zoning Ordinance (zMOD) that has been underway since 2017.
Despite the challenges presented by the pandemic, and its ripple effect on nearly every facet of life, the Mason District Supervisor's office operates every day to address constituent inquiries and concerns. Traffic calming, public safety, code compliance, land use, health department, and stormwater are just a few of the inquiries fielded by my office. Please let me know whenever you have questions about any county-related matter of concern to you. My staff and I are here to serve you.

Don't Walk in the Dark: Report Streetlight Outages – With daylight hours shorter during the winter, burnt-out streetlight bulbs are more noticeable, especially along neighborhood streets. Streetlights along public roads in Fairfax County typically are maintained by Dominion Energy (www.dominionenergy.com/virginia/report-outage-or-emergency) or the Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative (NOVEC www.novec.com/Customer_Services/StreetLightRepair.cfm). To make it easier to identify pole numbers and report streetlight outages from a desktop or mobile device, Fairfax County created a Streetlight Reporting Map (https://fairfaxcountygis.maps.arcgis.com/apps/View/index.html?appid=ec243fa910a24f54864d59277d5338b3), which shows streetlight service areas and individual streetlight locations. You now can use your phone's GPS location to find pole numbers and report outages in your neighborhood and in other areas you frequent. You also may contact any of these providers directly to report outages or other issues. When reporting an outage to Dominion Energy at 1-866-DOM-HELP (366-4357) or NOVEC (1-888-335-0500), you will need to provide the location of the pole and the pole number. Additional information about reporting streetlight outages is available at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/publicworks/capital-projects/report-streetlight-outage. If a particular streetlight is not on the map, it may be privately maintained by a homeowners association or other group. For additional assistance, call 703-324-5111; TTY 711. Please note that the Virginia Department of Transportation operates the streetlights along interstates and at major interchanges. To report a streetlight outage on a primary road, visit https://my.vdot.virginia.gov/, or call 1-800-FOR-ROAD (367-7623).
Save the Date: Seven Corners Phasing Study Virtual Public Meetings – The Fairfax County Department of Transportation (FCDOT) will be hosting virtual public information meetings on Wednesday, February 3 (English) and Thursday, February 4 (Spanish), beginning at 7 p.m. to present preliminary information about a phasing study that is in progress for the Seven Corners Community Business Center (CBC).

FCDOT staff will present preliminary information about the study to determine the order in which recommended transportation improvements would be constructed. For information about the project and public information meeting, visit the FCDOT website at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/transportation/study/seven-corners, or call Nanditha Paradkar at 703-877-5667.

If you wish to unsubscribe, send an e-mail, and include unsubscribe in the subject line to remove your e-mail address from the subscription list.
Mason Matters! The Television Show – The COVID-19 pandemic forced many local government agencies to adapt, and adopt new ways to deliver services. In Fairfax County, we successfully continued services, ranging from essential needs to recreation, while maintaining social distancing protocols to promote safety. Agencies, such as police, fire and rescue, and the Health Department easily come to mind as resources for essential services. However, during these challenging times, recreation has become an essential need, too. Public libraries provide respite from boredom and long days apart from family, friends, and social activities. There are many resources to nurture a new interest or skill, even while socially distancing. The library system promoted its online resources, such as e-books and audio books, and offered wireless Internet to residents, who accessed it from library parking lots. With safeguards implemented, we now are able to check out and return books at libraries again. The January edition of Mason Matters!, the television show that brings you news and information about our Mason District community, hosted by Supervisor Penny Gross, features Fran Millhouser, Mason District representative and chairman of the Fairfax County Public Library Board of Trustees. Mason Matters! airs on Cable Channel 16 every Thursday at 7 p.m., and every Friday and Sunday at 6:30 p.m., and daily online at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/mason.

Andreas Boos (* 2. September 1959 in Tübingen) ist ein deutscher Archäologe und Historiker.

Leben
Andreas Boos wurde als Sohn des Arztes Otto Boos und seiner Ehefrau Ilse, geb. Meinel, geboren. Nach dem Besuch der Volksschule besuchte er in Regensburg das mathematisch-naturwissenschaftliche Goethe-Gymnasium und legte dort 1978 das Abitur ab. Danach studierte er an der Universität Regensburg die Fächer Vor- und Frühgeschichte sowie Geschichte. 1979–1981 war er an verschiedenen Ausgrabungen in Regensburg und der südlichen Oberpfalz beteiligt, von 1983 bis 1985 war er wissenschaftliche Hilfskraft am Lehrstuhl für Vor- und Frühgeschichte der Universität Regensburg, 1986 reichte er seine Magisterarbeit zum Thema "Untersuchungen zur Oppidaforschung" ein. 1987 war er im Stadtarchiv Regensburg im Rahmen eines Projektes zur Erforschung der mittelalterlichen Infrastruktur Ostbayern und beim Amt für Archiv- und Denkmalpflege der Stadt Regensburg angestellt. 1987–1989 erhielt er ein Promotionsstipendium durch die Graduiertenförderung des Freistaates Bayern. 1988 leitete er eine Notgrabung in Kelheim. 1989–1992 studierte er Kunstgeschichte, Klassische Archäologie sowie Volkskunde an der Universität Regensburg. 1992 übernahm er als wissenschaftlicher Angestellter der Gemeinde Flossenbürg die archäologische und denkmalpflegerische Betreuung der Burg Flossenbürg. 1993 wurde er mit dem Dissertationsthema "Die früh- und hochmittelalterlichen Burgen im Süden der Oberpfalz" zum Dr. phil. in den Fächern Vor- und Frühgeschichte, Alte Geschichte sowie Mittelalterliche Geschichte promoviert; die Arbeit gilt als das Standardwerk in diesem Themenbereich.

Er ist seit 2010 stellvertretender Leiter des Historischen Museums der Stadt Regensburg und seit 2015 Leiter der Abteilung "Sammlungen und Ausstellungen". In dieser Funktion hat er zwischen 1989 und 2019, z .T. mit weiteren Kollegen, 22 Ausstellungen im Historischen Museum und vier Ausstellungen im Ausland gestaltet und organisiert. Neben seinen Tätigkeiten im Rahmen des Museums ist er Mitglied im Ausschuss des Historischen Vereins für Oberpfalz und Regensburg.

Forschung
Er leitete u. a. die Ausgrabungen der Burg Ehrenfels und in Großprüfening beim "Römerpark"; hier wurde auch eine Außenstelle des Historischen Museums eingerichtet.

Andreas Boos ist an einem 2013 genehmigten Forschungsprojekt der VW-Stiftung für mehrere Museen (Staatssammlung für Anthropologie und Paläoanatomie, Archäologische Staatssammlung München – Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte, Genetics Institute des University College London, Archäologische Staatssammlung München, Institut für Anthropologie der Universität Mainz sowie dem Sachgebiet Archäologie des Historischen Museums Regensburg) beteiligt; hier werden "Deformierte Schädel - Spuren weiblicher Mobilität und multikultureller Gemeinschaften am Anfang Europas" untersucht. Auf großes Interesse stieß ein Ausgrabungs- und Ausstellungsprojekt über die frühe slawische Besiedelung des Regensburger Raumes, das Andreas Boos zusammen mit dem Westböhmischen Museum in Pilsen, Hans Losert von der Universität Bamberg und dem ArchaeoCentrum Bayern-Böhmen gestaltete. Er ist auch bei den Grabungsarbeiten am Judenviertel von Regensburg beteiligt.

Creality 5th-anniversary activity start from April 3rd to 9th!
It doesn't let me order some stuff although stock is available (example: https://es.creality3donline.com/8pcs-mixed-sizes-05mm04mm03mm02mm-extruder-brass-nozzle-for-mk8-extruder-175mm-filament-_p0075.html ).
Hi guys, just wanted to know if I can assume that all nozzles that are valid for the Ender 3 are also valid for the Ender 5.
Z Axis immovable, potentially binding?
First Test Ender 5 - Looking for settings!
Link for the stl? Just got mine, this looks like a good test to run!
Just made the first test with my new Ender 5, results are comming out quite nice, I have some stringing but I think I solved it fine tunning retraction (and the filament is the one that came with the printer so I didn't expect much of it).
Any suggestion for the settings?
My initial SD card only has Cura Settings for CR-X and CR-5S. Do any of you have the specific file for the Ender 5??
Check out the download section of creality web site!
But when I download it Windows bans it for virus detection =/.


Bandeja en acero inoxidable 18/10 brillante.
"Opposition", designed by Zhang Lei (AZL architects), is part of the "(Un)Forbidden City" project. "Opposition" is a tray made of 18/10 stainless steel, but it's also a refined play of volumes more commonly found in architecture than in an object. The central part is circular and flat, while the outer edge is raised, square and flat. The two are joined together by a sloping section that blends evenly into each, without any interruptions.


Part of the Shelley Frankenstein Festival, the plays have been celebrating the author who is buried in St Peter's Church in Bournemouth.
The season, put on by AUB Productions, has already featured three plays: Mary Shelley, Blood and Ice, and Freakenstein.
They were all collaborations between BA (Hons) Acting, BA (Hons) Costume and Performance Design and BA (Hons) Make-up for Media and Performance, and they took place in the Shelley Theatre, a venue built for Mary by her son Sir Percy Florence Shelley.
The next instalment in the series is brand new play Ctrl C which will be performed at St Peter's Church and features another AUB collaboration as it has been written with students from BA (Hons) Creative Writing.
Students from the course joined director Tamsin Fessey and the cast for a week of research and development at the beginning of the process which included a day's workshop with award-winning playwright Nell Leyshon.
Following this, the Creative Writing students wrote a script which the Ctrl C company have since been developing through rehearsals.
The play focuses on a modern day writer Clara, who has been commissioned to develop her science fiction novel, based on the Frankenstein story.
Ctrl C charts her growing obsession with the project which sees her return to her home town of Bournemouth, a confrontation with her past and the uncovering of a buried secret that threatens to shatter her relationship with her partner, Will.
Further echoes of the past are represented by the characters of Mary and Percy Shelley who intersperse Clara's narrative as parallel timelines threaten to collide.
Meanwhile, in a futuristic lab, a sinister operation is afoot, with the potential to spiral out of control, a theme that is explored throughout this exciting new collaborative work.
This theatrical experience will transform St Peter's church, the resting place of Mary and Shelley and her family, as it tells this fascinating story with significant moments from her life.
Tickets cost £5 and can be purchased from the AUB Box Office.


The richest athletes in the world earn millions showcasing talents that only a few people on the planet possess. But for the ultra-elite in some sports, their pay doesn't come from their exploits during game time — their real money comes from endorsements and sponsorships.
For the most marketable athletes, their commercial contracts dwarf their multimillion-dollar salaries. Here's a look at the some of the richest athletes in the world who earn a bulk of their money from lucrative endorsement deals.
In 2004, then 17-year-old Ronda Rousey was the youngest judoka to appear at the Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. A decade later, she would take the world of mixed martial arts by storm, vanquishing opponent after opponent and rising to become the biggest star in the UFC, according to TheRichest.com.
Her career branched out to both modeling and acting, and her endorsement deals include contracts with Metro PCS, Monster headphones and Carl's Jr., Forbes reported. In the end, she took in $500,000 more from endorsements than she did from earnings.
Agnieszka Radwanska earns twice as much from endorsements as she does from on-court winnings. A prime example of marketability, Radwanska is a photogenic underdog who is among the most popular players in tennis, despite having never won a major. Her portfolio includes Workday, The Cheesecake Factory, Play Mobile, Lotto and Lexus, SportsProMedia.com reported.
One of just three women — along with Michelle Wie and Paula Creamer — to break the 2015 Golf Digest's list of 50 top-earning golfers, Stacy Lewis was named LPGA Player of the Year twice in three years. Her laundry list of contracts includes deals with Omega, Marathon, Pure Silk, Bridgestone Golf and FootJoy. Not only is she the top-ranked American player, but she is the LPGA's best-endorsed golfer, reported Golf Digest.
Caroline Wozniacki raked in $14.6 million, $11 million of which came from endorsement deals, according to Forbes. She landed her first endorsement deal when she was 10 years old by calling Adidas herself, The Wall Street Journal reported. Since then, the third highest-paid female athlete in the world has been basking in commercial success. She remains one of the biggest faces of Adidas, and also maintains contracts with Godiva, Rolex, Sony Ericsson and several international companies, the BBC reported.
Stephen Curry is nearly an even split between his salary and endorsement deals, which combined to earn the baller $23.6 million in 2016, Forbes reported. One of the fastest-rising stars both on and off the court, the back-to-back MVP is on the NBA's fast track to becoming one the best-endorsed players in the game.
He landed a multi-year endorsement with JPMorgan Chase, and also has contracts with Under Armour, Degree, Brita and Fanatics. His shoe business is bigger than anyone else's — except Michael Jordan — including Kobe and LeBron, according to ESPN.
NBA MVP James Harden earned $17 million in endorsements, slightly more than the $15.8 million in salary he's paid by the Houston Rockets, Forbes reported. Flamboyant and marketable, Harden is famous for sporting the NBA's most recognizable beard — and for his celebrity ex-girlfriend, Khloe Kardashian. He recently added Trolli candy to his growing endorsement portfolio, which also includes a 13-year deal with Adidas that could be worth $200 million with royalties.
The $20 million Maria Sharapova earned from endorsements in 2016 is more than 10 times the $1.9 million she earned on the court. But the heady days of eight-figure annual windfalls might be coming to an end for the Russian great. Sharapova, the world's highest-paid athlete for 11 years straight before being dethroned by Serena Williams, failed a drug test that resulted in a two-year suspension.
As her sponsors depart, she stands to lose $50 million over the controversy, according to Forbes. Sharapova appealed the suspension in June, and the case was to be decided in mid-July, ESPN reports.
The highest-paid female athlete in the world, Serena Williams has earned more prize money than any other female athlete in history. Yet like many tennis greats of either gender, the lion's share of Serena's net worth comes from endorsements. She banked $20 million in 2016 alone, according to Forbes. Williams, who is the No. 1 player in the world and has won 21 major titles, eclipsed Maria Sharapova as the world's highest-paid female athlete in 2016, according to Fortune.com.
In 2012, Neymar inked the 10th most lucrative endorsement deal in history when he signed an 11-year, $105-million contract with Nike, which runs through 2022, according to sports blog TotalSportek.com. Although he does not top the list of highest-paid soccer greats, the Brazilian is the only top soccer player in the world who earns more from endorsements than he does from his on-field exploits.
Among his biggest sponsors are L'Oreal, Nike and Konami, and on the field he signed a $119 million contract — one of the biggest in soccer history — to play with Barcelona, according to CelebrityNetWorth.com.
Although cricket doesn't enjoy a widespread fanbase in the U.S., global companies appreciate the star power of the top athletes in this international game. Former Indian national team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the highest-paid batsman in cricket and a social media juggernaut.
He serves as a brand ambassador for PepsiCo. Among the top 100 richest celebrities in the world, Dhoni earned $31 million, $27 million of which came from endorsements, according to Forbes.
Kei Nishikori holds the distinction of being the first Asian player to make a men's Grand Slam final, which makes him as marketable off the court as successful on the court, according to Forbes. The No. 1 player in Japan, Nishikori recently signed a $50 million extension with clothing brand Uniqlo.
He has 15 major endorsement deals, including Adidas, Nissin, P&G, Japan Airlines and Tag Heuer, according to SportsProMedia. He earned $30 million in endorsements alone in 2016, which constitutes the overwhelming majority of his $33.5 million earnings.
In 2016, legendary speed demon Usain Bolt ran for just $2.5 million in earnings on the track, but he banked $30 million from endorsements, according to Forbes. Bolt has won a staggering six gold medals and has been paid $10 million a year from a deal with Puma that continues through 2016. He'll be paid another $10 million if he competes in 2017, and he'll earn $4 million a year as a brand ambassador after he retires, according to Sports Illustrated.
Another tennis star whose commercial contracts dwarf his on-court winnings, Rafael Nadal's $32 million endorsement payday is worth nearly six times the $5.5 million he earned playing tennis, according to Forbes. He is currently locked in a five-year, $50 million contract with Nike that runs through 2018, according to Total Sportek.
He's also involved with Kia Motors, Babolat, Armani and Tommy Hilfiger. Instead of hiring an agent, Nadal — who is known to wear an $800,000 watch while playing tennis — started his own management company, according to Bloomberg.com.
Tennis great Novak Djokovic earned $55.8 million in 2016, more than half of which — $34 million — came from endorsement deals, Forbes reported. Djokovic beat Roger Federer at the 2015 U.S. Open and sealed up his status as the world's No. 1 player for four out of five years. However, it was Federer who left the year with more lucrative endorsement deals, since Djokovic focused on deals with smaller companies, according to International Business Times.
Djokovic is signed with Uniqlo, Adidas, Head, ANZ, Peugot and Seiko, Forbes reported.
Young, handsome and highly talented, a survey of top marketers recently ranked Rory McIlroy as more marketable than golf giant Tiger Woods, who was the world's highest-paid athlete every year between 2001 and 2011, Forbes reported.
McIlroy earned $35 million in endorsements in 2016, far more than the $7.6 million he earned with his clubs. He reportedly turned down $50 million from Titleist when his contract with the company expired, and signed with Nike for $200 million instead.
The fifth-highest paid athlete in the world, according to Forbes, Kevin Durant was named NBA Rookie of the Year during his debut season in 2007 — which was also the year he signed a $60 million deal with Nike. The seven-year contract paid him $14 million annually through 2014.
He also has major contracts with Gatorade, Nike and Degree, according to CelebNetWealth. In 2016, he earned $36 million from his corporate sponsors, compared to $20.2 million from his basketball salary, Forbes reported.
This year, Tiger Woods has earned a pinch over $45 million — but most of that came from endorsements. The most bankable golfer in history, Woods has earned $1.4 billion since turning pro, the overwhelming majority of which came from commercial contracts, according to CelebrityNetWorth.com.

Woods is a three-time Grand Slam winner, a 10-time PGA Player of the Year and the record holder for most weeks at No. 1. He had a $20 million deal with Titleist and a $40 million deal with Nike during his rookie year at the age of 21. Currently, Nike pays him more than $20 million a year, and other endorsement partners include Hero MotoCorp, Kowa, Rolex and Upper Deck, according to Forbes.
The $2.9 million Phil Mickelson pulled in through golf winnings in 2016 would be an impressive haul for most Americans, but it's chump change in the context of world-class athletes. The $50 million he earned from endorsements, however, is enough to impress all but the richest Americans. Although the Golf Hall of Famer has dropped in the salary rankings in recent years, he earned more in endorsements for the first time ever than Tiger Woods, according to Forbes.
In 2016, LeBron James brought the city of Cleveland its first major championship since 1964 as he led the Cavaliers to one of the most stunning comebacks in sports history. The third-highest paid athlete of 2016, LeBron's efforts earned him $77.2 million — but only $23.2 million came from his work on the court, according to Forbes. In 2010, King James signed an extension with Nike that pays him $10 million a year.
Deals with Nike, Coca-Cola, State Farm and more make him the NBA's most heavily endorsed star, according to The Richest. Nike, which sold $340 million worth of James' signature shoes in a single year, gave LeBron the first lifetime deal in the company's history, according to Forbes.
Roger Federer is arguably the greatest tennis player in history, and he also might have the winningest endorsement portfolio of any athlete in any sport — or at least the most lopsided compared to his winnings. With $67.8 million in earnings, he was the fourth-highest paid athlete of 2016, but $60 million of that came from endorsement contracts, according to Forbes.
The tennis great, whose commercial contracts have dwarfed his winnings every year over the last decade, has 10 major deals, including Rolex, Credit Suisse, Nike and Wilson.

Extract from Floating on a Malayan Breeze: The Straits Times, Oct 13th 2012
October 16, 2012 By Sudhir Thomas Vadaketh in Cycling, FOMB Book Blog, Identity, Indian, Malaysia, Singapore, Straits Times Tags: Banding, machan, Royal Belum Forest, Tamil	1 Comment
Dear friends, for those who missed the extract in The Straits Times this past weekend, click on the image below.
Or, if you'd rather just read the extract right here, here it is. From pages 173-76 of the book:
Your first instinct, when approaching the back of a truck while riding downhill, is to slam on the brakes, ratchet down the speed, and play it safe. But then, you realise the incredible slowness of these trucks and temptation gets the better of you. And you just do it. Your hand eases off the brakes, your feet spin for a while but then stop, confused, because they are no longer needed, and you let gravity race you down past the truck.
Once you've passed one, the confidence grows, and those fingers just clamp on the handlebar, as if squeezing tighter will make you go faster. On we went, speeding past each truck with less fear, building up a frightening momentum. Imagine a downhill race on Super Mario Kart, or Speed Racer, slaloming around giant tortoises, but worried about potholes and bumps. One error could send us flying, flailing, at more than 50 km per hour. Sheer adrenaline.
The best moments came when there were two trucks, one in each direction, and we cut between them, through a gap which was wide enough to tempt us, yet narrow enough to kill us, should we put one foot wrong.
But what a gap it is. The moment you enter the space between two trucks, it feels like you are hitt ing a vacuum, sound just dries up and gets sucked out. All you hear is a burst, similar to that when you first jump into a swimming pool. Or like when you pour Coke into a glassful of ice. A loud fizz that gradually diminishes.
No onomatopoeic device can capture this sound. Each time we treated ourselves to a Coke during the rest of the trip, we would close our eyes and listen, transported back to those few precious seconds in the truck vacuum.
The approach to Pulau Banding is dramatic. The island sits in a reservoir that is wrapped around by tall mountains, like a little droplet in a huge bowl.
As soon as we crossed the bridge into Banding, there was a jetty on our right. The boats were mostly painted the same worn and cracked light blue colour. It was late afternoon, and the placid rocking of the boats was the only activity in sight. We rested for a while there, before showering at the only petrol station, a few minutes cycle away, in the middle of the island.
Led by our stomachs, and not wanting to worry about where to sleep, we ate at a warung nearby. The sun had set, and darkness was rapidly reaching pitch black. These were not ideal tent-pitching conditions. Worse, there was nowhere to sleep at the warung where we had just eaten; we were told to leave.
It seems implausible now that one would be looking for a place to sleep around the physical premises of a restaurant, scouting the place while having dinner, but at that moment, in that frame of mind, it was the most natural thing to do. Seeing that there was no respite for the night, we went back to where we were at dusk, a jetty by the edge of the Tasik.
We walked towards the first boathouse, when suddenly two figures emerged from the darkness, coming towards us. One of them was a Malay, dressed in tight jeans, with a red cap that kept his long hair tucked behind his neck. The other was an Indian, and we could barely make out his features because of the low light. Two bulbous eyes stared at us.
"Eh, what are you fellows doing here?" asked the Indian youth, rather forcefully.
"Er … erm … we are two Singaporeans cycling around Malaysia …"
"Two Singaporeans?" He came closer and shone his torchlight at our faces. "Are you Indian?"
"Yes!" we both chorused, triumphantly, excitedly, assuming that this would be a good answer.
He flicked his torchlight across our faces once again, like an immigration officer peeking into a car. Nervous, and with a light in our faces, we just kept quiet. Finally we saw the whites of his eyes bobbing up and down, as he nodded with satisfaction. His torso relaxed, and his voice softened.
"OK, good, you guys want a place to stay? Not a problem, you can stay on the boat. Just go and tell my friend. No problem letting some machas [brothers] stay with us. Lock your bicycles somewhere also. I will be back in a while. You guys want some food?" he asked briskly, obviously in a rush.
"No, it's OK, we just ate."
"Are you sure? OK, I see you in a while, I have to go and make a telephone call," Das said as he walked away, hopped onto his Malay friend's motorcycle, and sped off into the darkness.
At that moment, a flood of relief washed over us. It felt nice to be accepted. We were also swollen with Indian pride, and immediately felt a bond with Das and every one of his friends who we had never met. We were swept up in a roaring wave of Indian communalism. It felt great.
Moreover, we felt like insiders because he had called us macha. Machan, often pronounced "macha", means brother-in-law in Tamil, but is used colloquially to refer to friends. It connotes a bond stronger than just "friend". We used it in secondary school, both among Tamils and some non-Tamils, but rarely since then. Like so many of Singapore's other vernacular treasures, "macha" seems destined for extinction. It is being replaced, quite worryingly, by "dude".
Filled with gratitude, we quickly locked up our bicycles next to the boathouse, unhinged our bags and brought them onboard. A fat, bearded Indian youth dressed in a white t-shirt and black football shorts was seated in front of a wooden island in the middle of the boathouse, just behind the rudder. He appeared uninterested in us, and the three of us barely talked; the TV proved a welcome distraction, as we focused on a Copa America game in which a young Gabriel Heinze was about to partake in the last act of the drama that is a penalty shoot-out.
In the following days, months and years, as we pondered that racial examination we had been thrust into, it has always filled us with a mix of emotions. What if we were Chinese? Would he have kicked us out? Why did we feel such strong Indian pride? Or was it just relief? Do those communal sentiments linger somewhere deep inside all of us, waiting for the right situation and circumstances?

The ship is expected to resume after financial troubles had delayed its construction. It will feature a replication of the original ship's interior and cabin and carry the same amount of passengers and crew. However, safety and lifeboats will be vastly improved.
After it sails the same maiden voyage as its namesake, it will travel several other routes.

"a new swiss canadian dreamteam. it reminds us of the grammy award winning album,"Raising Sand" by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss.
LEGENDARY duos MAKE WAY FOR A bold & heartwarming PAIR, "GOLDSCHATZ."
Timothy Jaromir is the son of a Blues man, and is now fresh off the Montreux Jazz Festival (2016) stage. Born and raised into music, this son-of-a-gun has been turning heads on stages and on your ole' radios for quite some time now.
Christina Rieder has just stepped off of the Eurovision stage (2016), from representing Switzerland as Rykka straight into releasing brand new record including two Internationally charting singles.
Separately and together they've performed over 1000 shows, living on and off the road for years, so, it don't take a genius to figure - they're damn good.
Last year, these two, young and in love - ran off to the Canadian wilderness to tie the knot. Through their songwriting and live shows, you'll take a glimpse into what it's like to be badass rebels in love, in a world that is falling apart.


And here's a photo of one corner of the pet food section. As you can (kind of) see, they have a good selection of Science Diet and Royal Canin foods for both cats and dogs.
You're looking at about a tenth of the store, so it's big by Paris pet store standards. There's room for a range of dog beds, carriers (all European brands), leashes, collars, clothing and grooming supplies. There's also a corner of cat-specific supplies. If you're looking for good-quality, basic supplies, and pretty good food, this is the place to go.
We happened across two other dog stores in central Paris that you should know about. Un Chien dans le Marais is only a couple of blocks away from BHV La Niche, and offers glamorous clothing and a few carriers and beds — all for very small dogs indeed (everything I saw was too tiny for Chloe). Au Paradis Canin, just across the river in the 5th arrondissement, focuses on "haute coiffure canine," but the front of the shop is a small boutique offering good-quality carriers, collars & leashes, clothing and accessories.
I'm planning a trip home to the US soon and logged onto your site for advice. I loved the picture of Chloe in her new bag! I had bought all of my previous bags because of your recommendations, however when visiting my daughter in Paris I had my Coton groomed at Au Paradis Canin (right around the corner from her apartment). While I was there I bought the gray wool bag that was in the window- love it! When I returned home to Basel, Switzerland a friend admired it… so my daughter bought another one for the friend. I hope you enjoy the bag as much as we have! Now I'm trying to decide if I bring the messenger bag or the gray wool one to the US in early December. Any suggestions?
Hi, Jill! How funny that we bought the exact same carrier! I really like it (in fact, I came very close to buying the canvas version as well, at Au Paradis Canin), but if you only have room for one carrier on your trip to the US, I'd make it the messenger bag. The Milk & Pepper carrier is more chic, but the PetEgo messenger bag can also serve as a stealth bag should that be needed, so it's a bit more versatile. I've found that Chloe stays very warm in the messenger bag, if that's a concern for you.
And dont forget to visit the best "Grooming for Dogs and Cats" in Paris, in "Le Marais", very central place in Paris.
I came here by a research about BHV La Niche. Zadig, my little dog owns his blog about place and restaurant where dogs are accepted in Paris and in France.
Hello, thanks for the link. The blog is in french but maybe someone could find a good adress for a vacation in Paris.
No problem, Sabine — there's always Google Translate. It's just solid gold to have reports from a Parisian and her pup — and to have a dog owner contact in Paris. I'll talk about your blog in my next Chloe's Clicks, too!

I was under the influence of the early modern masters, Fitzgerald and Steinbeck and Hemingway, especially, when I was a kid. I reacted against writers like Barth and John Hawkes. I did not care for the post-modernist stuff; my allegiance was to realism.
In the attacks on the old ways of doing things on word in particular came into currency. That word was "kitsch." Once introduced, the word stuck. Whatever you do, it musn't be kitsch. This became the first precept of the modernist artist in every medium.
Part of the triumph of modernist poetry is, indeed, to have demonstrated the great extent to which verse can do without explicit meaning and yet not sacrifice anything essential to its effect as art. Here, as before, successful art can be depended upon to explain itself.
An exciting and yet highly lucid account of the formation and significance of Karl Kraus's modernist journalism, an activity that Walter Benjamin and Gershom Scholem regarded as the most Jewish writing in the German language. The Anti-Journalist is the best book I have seen on this engaging topic.

$2.5M gift from Boyce family establishes Mining and Geological Engineering Endowed Chair
Endowed chairs help the university attract and retain faculty members who have achieved national or international distinction in their fields.
University of Arizona Foundation
Greg-and-Lisa-Boyce.jpg
Greg and Lisa Boyce
Greg Boyce was accepted to two universities after he finished high school. But a springtime visit to Tucson made it an easy choice: He was going to study engineering at the University of Arizona.
"Obviously, I've never regretted making that decision," said Greg Boyce, who earned his bachelor's degree in mining engineering in 1976 and went on to a successful 40-year career in the global energy and mining industry. Among his achievements was leading companies including Rio Tinto Energy and Peabody Energy; he retired from the latter as executive chairman in 2015. Additionally, he served on the boards of directors for Monsanto and Marathon Oil and currently serves on the boards of Newmont Mining and the Heard Museum. His wife, Lisa, a 1978 business administration alumna he met at UArizona, has been by his side throughout.
With a $1.5 million gift to UArizona, and a plan to give an additional $1 million, the couple will establish the Gregory H. And Lisa S. Boyce Endowed Department Leadership Chair in Mining and Geological Engineering. Endowed chairs help the university attract and retain faculty members who have achieved national or international distinction in their fields. Kray Luxbacher, former head of the Department of Mining and Minerals at Virginia Tech, joined the university in August 2022 as inaugural holder of the chair.
"Expanding and strengthening our mining and geological engineering program has been one of my top priorities since I joined the college in 2019, and I am thrilled that Greg and Lisa have decided to make such a generous contribution to that mission," said David W. Hahn, the Craig M. Berge Dean of the College of Engineering. "Greg's long and impactful career is a perfect testament to the value of a mining engineering education. We are proud to name this leadership chair after two such successful University of Arizona alumni."
Doubling impact to support new school
Greg Boyce, a member of the American Mining Hall of Fame, has been a longtime supporter of UArizona, serving as chairman of the board of the Lowell Institute for Mineral Resources and being named the 2013 College of Engineering Alumnus of the Year. He said he felt the time was right to make a gift because of the establishment of the university's School of Mining and Mineral Resources in 2021.
Co-administered by the College of Engineering and the College of Science, the school brings together students, professionals and communities from a range of disciplines to tackle industry challenges, with a particular focus on sustainability.
"The College of Science houses strengths in mineral resources and Earth surface processes that are intertwined with the strengths of the mining and geological engineering program in the College of Engineering," said Carmala Garzione, dean of the College of Science. "This generous gift from the Boyce family will ensure that the Engineering and Science college partnership in administering the School of Mining and Mineral Resources is reinforced by strong leadership in mining and geological engineering that will put us on the cutting edge of advancing sustainable and environmentally sound mining practices."
Greg Boyce was impressed with what he sees as an unmatched alignment of support for the initiative, with backing from the deans of both colleges, University of Arizona President Robert C. Robbins and even the Arizona State Legislature, which provided $4 million in ongoing yearly funding for the school in fall 2021.
"Because the MGE department is so core to the mission of the new School of Mining and Mineral Resources, I felt we needed to ensure the longevity of strong leadership in that position," Greg Boyce said. "I believe the university's vision of the mining programs and the collaborative programs around mineral resources will become the best in the world."
The gift comes at a perfect time. The Lundin family, of the Lundin Group, a collective of public companies in the resource sector, donated $2 million to lay groundwork for the school in 2020. The family also offered a $2.5 million match for funds raised by December 2022. With their gift, Greg and Lisa Boyce are not only establishing the endowed chair, but having double the impact by meeting the match.
"With Greg and Lisa's commitment, we have not only established the premier leadership chair in mining and geological engineering, but also met the ambitious match set by the Lundin family," said John-Paul Roczniak, president and CEO of the University of Arizona Foundation. "This is a meaningful example of alumni leaders in industry working together to move the university forward. When alumni give to programs that made a difference in their own lives, it sets the stage for all Wildcats to compete with the best."
The right place at the right time
Greg Boyce has watched the industry evolve significantly in the last 40 years, and not just in terms of technology. Many stakeholders have also taken a more holistic view of the mining process and its impact on the environment and local communities. He believes the industry needs graduates with a wide breadth of training. So, he is enthusiastic about the school's interdisciplinary approach to education, which will tap into fields including engineering, science, environmental studies, business, social science, public health and law.
"We are thankful to the Boyce family not just for their outstanding generosity, but for their recognition of what a key role the University of Arizona plays in the mining and mineral resources sector," said University of Arizona President Robbins. "In addition to being home to the new school, we are also ranked fourth in the U.S. in mineral and mining engineering programs in the 2022 QS World University Rankings. And the U.S. News & World Report Best Graduate Schools ranking placed our geosciences program as second in the nation among geology graduate programs."
After marrying Lisa shortly after graduation, Greg Boyce began his career in the Copper State. Today, Arizona produces three-quarters of the nation's copper and is the sixth-largest copper producer in the world. With headquarters for major mining companies based in Arizona – including Freeport-McMoRan and Hexagon Mining – nearly 50,000 jobs in the state are connected to mining in some way.
"My education, the relationships and the exposure I got at the University of Arizona set me up for a challenging and global career in the mining industry," Greg Boyce said. "I feel very strongly about the importance of mining and mineral resources, and strong leadership is critical to the evolving nature of the mining industry. Lisa and I are so pleased to be able to provide the endowment to further the mining and mineral resources education goals of the university and train the next generation of mining industry leaders."

Just a few months before the former Labour Leader Ed Miliband's 'One Nation' conference speech in 2012 I discussed with colleagues the right name for what is now Labour: Coast &Country, we even wrote down 'One Nation Labour' as a part of the route to power in 2015 . . . . .
Yet the results at the last General Election in target seats show how poorly Labour performed. At least 19 of the targets had a significant rural aspect to them, while at least 17 were coastal (or both). Labour only won one of the 19 seats.
Do the new Labour Party leadership team 'get' that to govern the Party needs to win in all parts of the country? And need to embed One Nation approach into the Party's organisation, policies, and communications.
The initial signs are encouraging.
In his final campaign speech for the Leadership Jeremy Corbyn MP said "If I am elected leader I will ensure that Labour is as much a party in the communities like the one in which I was born (Wiltshire), as it is for people in inner city constituencies like the one I represent. Too often the old machine politics writes off "the Tory shires", abandoning communities struggling with issues such as housing costs, public service cuts and social exclusion just as those in inner cities are. If Labour doesn't offer those communities solutions, no one else will. There shouldn't be any no-go areas for Labour." In turn in our own engagement with the Labour Party Deputy Leader Tom Watson MP it was clear that his experience of living and working in Dorset and Worcestershire had given him a decent insight to the issues faced by communities of coast and country.
Labour: Coast & Country couldn't have put their shared ambition better – we exist to win the case for building Labour activism and representation right across the UK. To win in 2020 will require a swing equivalent to that seen in 1945, another election that saw Labour win many non-urban seats across Britain.
One aspect of the solution is perhaps counter intuitive, being a One Nation party is not the same as being a centrally controlled and directed party, not a party that creates and distributes all of its policy and messaging from a central team, nor a party that only focuses on 'its people & places'.
Being a successful One Nation party must be built on an understanding of the diversity and variety of Britain, and a willingness to allow members to respond to local issues.
It is worth noting that more people live in 'rural' Britain (as defined by the ONS) than live in London (9.3m to 8.6m), while more people live in sparse areas (areas of very low population density, some 500,000) than live in all but a handful of UK cities, and certainly more than in say Leeds or in Bristol.
Acknowledge that the Party needs to have a development approach to the next few years, especially with the uncertainty of the boundary review.
Many parts of Britain's coast and country are ripe for a Labour return, but neglect the needs of rural communities and UKIP will fill the void.
Hywel Lloyd is a Co-Founder of Labour: Coast & Country.

Arianna Huffington's Thrive Global Names Marina Khidekel Editorial Director

Is Fairfax Avenue Dead as the Streetwear Hub of L.A.?
June 20, 2018, 9:00am
Thrive Global, Arianna Huffington's mindfulness and anti-corporate burnout culture company, has named Marina Khidekel editorial director. Khidekel's hire is part of a wave of expansion of Huffington's company. Last month, Thrive announced three executive level hires, including Condé Nast's Ann Sachs, who was tapped to be Thrive Global's chief content officer.
"One of my deepest beliefs, which is at the heart of Thrive Global, is that we are not just here to tell stories, but to have an impact and help people change their lives," said Huffington, founder and chief executive officer of Thrive Global. "As a leader of our growing editorial team, Marina will leverage her deeply rooted experience in research, reporting and storytelling to bring together the latest science, ancient wisdom and new role models to help our readers around the world make the changes they want in their lives."
Khidekel was most recently a senior deputy editor at Women's Health, where she oversaw health and wellness features. Prior to that, she was deputy editor of features and brand extensions at Cosmopolitan. Khidekel also founded Undrrated, an e-mail newsletter that featured notable creatives who shared their under-the-radar culture, food and style recommendations.
Khidekel's role will include expanding how Thrive collaborates with its network of expert contributors and bringing in new voices that dovetail with Thrive's core topics.
"As editorial director, I really hope to broaden that conversation about work/life integration and what works for real people. There's been a lot of conversation about work/life balance, but people are starting to realize that term is kind of a sham. It's a mirage, and what we are actually doing when we are seeking balance is chasing our tails around in a circle," Khidekel said.
The new role has personal resonance for Khidekel, whose family moved to the U.S. from Russia when she was two years old, and said that, as an immigrant, she grew up with the mentality that "we are here to live the American Dream, and the way to do that is to be working, working, working constantly."
"I never saw my mother get a massage or do anything in the self-care realm, so in my mind, those were things for other people. Not for me. I love to work and what I do, but for much of my career that's all I focused on," she said.
But due to working in the wellness space, Khidekel said, she has begun to believe that well-being and career are both important.
