So UC Davis is back to defend the team's national DIAA championship, and so far it's all gone well.
Yes the team decided to change coaches, and their old coach, who won a national championship with the Aggies, ends up getting into the US Rugby Hall of Fame, but maybe what Mike Purcell created was such a good platform that the winning couldn't help but continue.
The USA Rugby women's DI (spring) final is set with Virginia and UC Davis winning their playoff brackets this weekend.
Sacramento State and UC Davis will meet each other Sunday afternoon after the teams won Pacific Western semifinal games Saturday.
UC Davis handled Nevada fairly comfortably 35-3.
While Central Florida, University of Virginia, UC San Diego, UC Davis, and Washington State hold the top seeds of their conferences, they are very aware that this weekend's DI Collegiate Women's Round of 8 will consist of the most challenging competition yet.
Tomorrow, University of Washington (North #2), Chico State (West #2), UC Berkeley (West #3), UCSD (South #1), UCLA (South #2), Washington State (North #1), Arizona State (South #3), and UC Davis (West #1) will be competing in the Pacific Mountain Rugby Conference playoffs and a place in the national Women's DI Spring Quarterfinals.
Eight of the nine Pacific Western Conference teams are in action this weekend, including defending national DIAA champs the UC Davis Aggies.
Davis is 3-0 and in good position to win the conference again, but the Aggies face a stern test with Stanford, which has started 2-0-1.
In an unexpected turn of events, the University of California, Davis soundly defeated Stanford University 46-19 this past Saturday.
Stanford, a DI Elite team, used to be a group that moved ball wide quickly to break the gain line and use the advantage to score flashy tries - but that didn't happen this time around.
(submitted by Stanford Rugby) Stanford defeated a fast, physical, and athletic UC Davis for the second time this season, extending their Pacific Mountain Conference (PMC) West record to 4-0. In the first encounter, Stanford staged a late come-back to overcome the Aggies.
Stanford began Pacific Mountain Conference play at UC Davis with a dramatic come-from-behind 14-12 victory.


David Cameron has said he will negotiate a 'better deal' for Britain. But what should the UK's future relationship with the EU be?
The vast majority of EU member states wish Britain to remain part of the EU. Therefore, the threat of a UK exit via a referendum presents an opportunity to renegotiate a more advantageous settlement for Britain.
The structure of the EU remains based on the original 1950s Community of the six founding members. It is not fit for the modern age and does not account for the diversity of the now 27 member states.
Too much power has been transferred to Brussels. The EU should interfere less in the policies and practices of its diverse member states. EU common rules are beneficial only where they aid the operation of the Single Market. In general, member states know better than the European Commission where their interests lie.
Britain should push to reassert the power of the Council of Ministers, strengthen the European Parliament (in relation to the Commission), and work to reduce the interference in national policies by EU institutions.
It is vital that the UK retains access to the Single Market. Norway is often cited by those arguing that Britain can leave the EU and remain part of the Single Market. Whilst this is true, Britain would continue to have to make contributions to the EU budget, it would be bound by the majority of Common Market Regulations, and it would have no influence in the shaping of such regulations. Furthermore, the Single Market cannot function properly without some degree of political integration.
The original principle of the Free Movement of Labour was that Community citizens were free to go to any member state for the purpose of work. Where work could not be found, individuals were forced to return home. There was no unconditional right of residence, or even settlement. Entitlement to social security benefits and housing only accrued where one had been working and paying tax. The EU should return to this principle. EU Citizens should have the right to work in the UK, but not an automatic right to stay. The Council of Ministers could change this without any Treaty amendments being required. The British government should only allow those who have paid UK tax to claim benefits.
Certain measures, such as the Working Time Directive, place restrictions on employees and workers. Member states should have exclusive control of social policy since they know what suits their economies and electorates. A 35-hour working week may suit France, but it should not be imposed on others.
The UK financial services industry accounts for over 35% of the EU whole. The UK should therefore have a leading role in EU financial regulation. If London is to compete with Singapore and New York, Britain must seek more pro-growth measures, protections for the industry, cuts to regulation, and a change to QMV rules.
The CAP is flawed, both conceptually and economically (it still accounts for over 33% of the total EU budget). Reform is difficult because of the self-interest of countries like France, Italy and Poland. The CFP has seen positive recent reform, including the ending of discards, but the proposed increases to Cohesion Policy spending should be combated. Britain must use intergovernmental cooperation with like-minded member states to push for reform.
Beyond specific programmes such as ERASMUS, education and culture do not belong within the EU at all. There is value in sharing education and culture, but it should be done on an intergovernmental basis.
Britain should not contribute to an 'EU aid' budget. The UK can administer aid far more efficiently on its own through relationships forged with developing nations over decades.
A common EU foreign policy is unnecessary given the existence of NATO (which is far more powerful as it includes the US). Whilst meetings to co-ordinate foreign policy between EU members have proved valuable over many years, relinquishing the power to determine national foreign policy would be disastrous. The UK must remain free to protect and advance its national interests.

South Tipp GAA centre opens after upgrade
The South Tipperary GAA Centre in Clonmel re-opened to the public last week after a major refurbishment.
It is now one of the finest GAA facilities around - but is also open for use to other clubs and organisations.
The work cost €120,000 with generous support from South Tipperary Development Company.
Centre chairman and County GAA Board chairman welcomed visitors to an open evening at the Wesetern Road centre last Thursday night and expressed the wish that the centre would be widely used again.
When it first opened inthe 1970s, it was an outstanding facility run efficiently by a local committee under the chairmanship of Michael Maher.
It was widely used for decades but in recent years fell into disrepair and became unsuitable for present day needs.
The toilets needed the most work and plans were drawn up to refurbish them but then it was decided to undertake a more significant upgrade and the results are now there for all to see.
The stage has been removed which allows extra space for meeting rooms while facilities also include a new gas heating system, full multi media facilities and a fully equipped kitchen.
"I would like to pay a warm tribute to contractor Joe Mulachy for his outstanding work", Mr Nugent told guests last week.
And he added - "The centre is now open for business but we need support from other sporting and community organisations.
"This is a great facility for meetings, concerts and conventions. I ask groups to consider this fine facility as a venue".
It is a very pleasant and comfortable building, he said, as he asked everyone to spread the message.
Mr Nugent thanked the South Tipperary Development Board for its very generous contribution and everyone else involved who helped to make the project such a success.
"Running this centre is a big challenge and I pay tribute to the committee that has done such great work over the years", adding that the centre is now moving on to an new era.

"Global Climate Change" refers to a changing of the earth's environment as we know it today due to the scientifically documented warming of the earth. Increasing levels of greenhouse gas emissions, both naturally occurring and emissions resulting from the human use of fossil fuels, are causing this warming.
The awareness of global climate change and the certainty that it is a reality has crystallized during the past twelve months. Concerns about reducing and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to potential climate change impacts are now central to the discussion of politicians, business people and citizens alike in the State of Florida and beyond. In Florida , these concerns are translating into increased action at the state, regional, and local levels.
Planning has its place in climate change preparedness. While the public sector's focus to date has principally centered on action plans that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, there is also a need for adaptation planning to prepare communities to respond to the impacts of climate change, some of which will be caused by greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere.
The "Climate Change Community Toolbox" was prepared by the Council at the request of the Miami-Dade County Climate Change Advisory Task Force. It was made possible through the generous support of the Florida Department of Community Affairs.
The Toolbox is designed to help decision-makers understand how to carry out adaptation planning, how to conduct analyses of specific sectors and issue areas as the basis for focused response strategies and actions, and presents examples of adaptation planning options. It is expected that the Toolbox will assist communities in South Florida and throughout Florida to move forward and translate concern about global climate change into sound planning, policy and action.
Specifically the toolbox consists of three components:
1. Three plain language and visually interesting fact sheets that summarize the impacts of climate
change on Miami-Dade County 's economy, community and environment. These are designed
as public information pieces.
2. A sea level rise map atlas that contains maps to aid Miami-Dade County's Climate Change
Advisory Task Force in understanding the magnitude and geography of potential sea level rise
impacts to the County as well as what future these impacts may mean for infrastructure and land
use planning. The maps allow viewers to ascertain which areas of Miami-Dade County are
generally more vulnerable to sea level rise than others as well as which areas are likely to
experience substantial coastal wetland loss by 2100.
3. A compendium of adaptation resources containing the most current and relevant adaptation
processes, strategies, options and examples drawn from national and international sources.

Back in the day, I knew a girl who couldn't stop talking about me. She gossiped about things I'd said and hadn't actually said. She'd pepper me with questions about things she felt "competitive" towards me about: SAT scores, college applications, dance (um, I'm not a good dancer, for the record…).
How did I deal with this? I kept quiet. When she whispered as I walked by, I kept quiet. She was "friends of friends" — so I kept quiet. When I got into the college of her dreams (and she didn't), I kept quiet. When she made racist comments to me about that — jealousy brings out the deeply-buried sides to people, y'all!…. you got it right…. I kept quiet.
The other day, I suddenly had a flashback to this forgotten person. Brief interactions spark memories that've been gone for YEARS. I mean…. MANY years.
The first time I have a flashback, I feel like I'm right there, re-living the moment. It takes that moment to pass so I can step back and say, "Wait…. I am smarter than that now." And I realized– I've learned so much in the past 10+ years — it's wonderful!
Looking back, I see: Back then, I didn't do anything wrong. But I could have dealt with this person in a more self-honoring way.
Tip 1 to my Old Self. When Dealing with a Petty Person who is Obsessed with Ruining Your Reputation, Speak Your Virtues. Do it Gracefully and Loudly.
At the wise age of 17, I was proud that I never once tried to retaliate or speak ill of this girl. I saw her attempts to compete with me as "pathetic" and refused to participate. I recognized that her obsession with me bordered on a compliment– why spend so much time talking about someone you "hate"?
UNFORTUNATELY, this girl was so effective in spreading rumors about me that my efforts to "stay out of it" went completely unnoticed. Acquaintances began to believe her rumors — began to believe that I was vicious towards her, never realizing I'd never, ever lifted a word against her.
Even years later, a friend once said to me, "I didn't know which one of you I should believe." Huh? I hadn't even said anything for anyone TO believe!
And this was my mistake: silence.
I was raised to value traits that don't get you far in this society: listen to others before talking about myself, be honest rather than lie to achieve "status," and act humbly.
In my efforts to be the "better person" by "staying out of it," I had allowed my voice to be replaced entirely by someone else's. It was like those studies where psychologists create false memories in kids through telling them repeatedly how something happened. She had created false memories in our acquaintances…. and I'd stayed quiet through the whole thing.
Thus, I had erased my own experience from the perception of others.
It's not "being fake" if you are being honest.
Tip 2 to my Old Self. Avoid "Friends" who Love Gossip -aka- Passive Onlookers.
I suspect that part of the reason some of my acquaintances never stopped this person's gossip was because they enjoyed the drama.
It's akin to rubber-necking at a car crash. Why do people love to see others' car wrecks? It gives us something to talk about. Something to "fill the void" of an otherwise mundane life.
As an adult, I've learned to pick and choose my friends better. The older I get, the better I am at figuring out the difference between (A) who I am befriending for their own qualities, and (B) who I have befriended out of circumstantial convenience.
While friend (B) can evolve into friend (A), the bottom line is: I wish to have quality friends who support me, communicate with me, and are honest with me.
And, although I trip up sometimes, I am grateful to know the difference now.
Sometimes I can't walk away from the Petty Person. But when I can, I do.
I am lucky that I have built up, over time, a strong, trusting community of people I can reach out to. I wish for everyone to have the same.
I even wish for this girl, this former (I hope) Petty Person, to have the same. Perhaps she has learned how to be at peace by now.
It's so funny how old experiences can stick with us. Writing this, I recall the frustration of being trapped in a story I hadn't written, and in the absence of support I had, mostly due to my own failure.
At the same time, I remember my confusion and effort to understand this person. Why was I the center of this girl's obsession? Why would you devote so much time to tearing someone down, if they are so obviously disengaged with you? The unhappiness of someone who does this must be overwhelming.
Years later, I now get what I didn't, back then: believing someone is unhappy doesn't "excuse" a Petty Person's behavior. I can empathize with you. AND, if you treat me badly, I can ALSO walk away from you.
You know, the media that trashes "getting older" is crazy. Being able to look back and see how I've grown? I wouldn't trade anything for this knowledge and power I have gained.
After all, why have a "frenemy" when you can have a "friend"?

Sukadeva Gosvami said: Having thus heard the statements of Devarsi Narada, and understanding the opinions of both the assembly and Lord Krsna, the great-minded Uddhava began to speak.
Sri Uddhava said: O Lord, as the sage advised, You should help Your cousin fulfill his plan for performing the Rajasuya sacrifice, and You should also protect the kings who are begging for Your shelter.
Devarsi Narada wanted Lord Krsna to go to Indraprastha and help His cousin Yudhisthira perform the Rajasuya sacrifice. At the same time, the members of the royal assembly strongly desired that He defeat Jarasandha and rescue the kings he was holding prisoner. The great-minded Uddhava could understand that Lord Krsna desired to do both things, and thus he intelligently advised how both these purposes could be simultaneously accomplished.


I always find that horror movies based off of real horror events make the best horror movies. That is because we can easily relate some elements of the film to actual events. Here are the scariest non-fiction horror movies you must see! I know that Hollywood has to overemphasize some scary events in order to please the horror fans but even the horror movies based loosely on actual events carry a more eerie feeling to the films. All these movies can be streamed on popular streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and Shudder.
Below you will find a breakdown on each real event that inspired each horror movie followed by a countdown of all the horror movies listed in a countdown to the best horror film inspired by real events.
Psycho (1960) - The lead serial killer Norman Bates and his mother split personality was inspired by the life and profile of one of the most famous American serial killers Ed Gein. The film was directed beautifully by the Master of Horror Alfred Hitchcock and actor Anthony Perkins.
The Exorcist (1973) - Based on the accounts of a young boy who was possessed by a demon(s) and the priests who ultimately delivered the young boy from the demon(s). The Exorcist (1973) film features a young girl instead of the boy as to further keep the boys' identity a secret. The Exorcist is one of the scariest demon movies you can watch.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) - Director Tobe Hooper brought us this horror film about a crazed inbred family with the iconic Leatherface inspired by real-life serial killer Ed Gein who dressed in human skin.
The Amityville Horror (1979) - Based on the Lutz house haunting in Amityville, Long Island. The Lutz family claimed a terrible haunting forced them out of their home. Many people believe this haunting to be a hoax created by George Lutz to get out of his mortgage and gain fame. Ed and Lorraine Warren also investigated this home haunting.
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) - Wes Craven (Master of Horror), recounted reading about a slew of nightmare-inducing deaths throughout the Philippines. People were dying in their sleep and it seemed to be spreading. Wes Craven took that idea and created the iconic horror boogeyman Freddy Krueger who killed teenagers in their sleep.
The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988) - Master of Horror Wes Craven directed this tale of a man investigating the powers of Voodoo and bringing people back from the dead as zombies. Many people believe in Haiti fear the power of the Shamans and Voodoo priest while scientists believe that the powder used may put people into a state of unconsciousness where the heartbeat is too low to detect and allows the person to resurrect after the effects have worn off. The longer lasting entranced effect takes longer to wear off.
This movie was inspired by many accounts of a "dead man" being seen walking around well after his funeral and looking like he was a walking zombie with no emotions and a blank stare.
The Mothman Prophecies (2002) - This film is based on the accounts of many townsfolk in a small town in West Virginia who all account seeing a mysterious and strange looking figure referred to as a Mothman looking creature. They believe the Mothman was either warning them of the impending tragedy on December 15, 1967, and the collapse of the Silver Bridge leading to the death of 46 people or the cause. Were all these people imagining the Mothman or were they hoaxed into believing they saw such a creature?
The Girl Next Door (2007) - Based on the book written by Jack Ketchum about a young girl who moves in with her aunt and cousins leading to a very fatal and tragic end for the girl. A sad horror film too emotional for the casual moviegoer but a must see for the evil next door, do you really know your neighbor?
The Conjuring (2013) - Inspired loosely by a scary case where Ed and Lorraine Warren helped a family that was plagued by a demonic force in their home. The writers of The Conjuring (2013) and director James Wan took the liberty of intensifying the scary jump scares in the film and the concluding battle with the demon possessing the mother at the end of the film.
Child's Play (1988) - Chucky's full name is Charles Lee Ray and is not only a scary doll. Chucky is derived from the names of notorious killers Charles Manson (not an actual killer but the mastermind), Lee Harvey Oswald, and James Earl Ray. Writer Don Mancini and director Tom Holland created a movie icon in the form of a menacing scary doll serial killer.

Q: How to compare between different numeric types in clojure Clojure newbie here. Using clojure 1.4.0 REPL;
(== 2    2.0)      ; true
(== 2.0  2.0M)     ; true
(== 2    2.0M)     ; false

Isn't this a logic violation? If the first two are true, mustn't the third also be true?

A: == is type-independent, try this:
user=> (== (bigdec 2.0) 2.0M)
true
user=> (type (bigdec 2.0))
java.math.BigDecimal
user=> (type 2.0M)
java.math.BigDecimal

A: bigDecimals are considered equal only if they are the same in both value and scale in this case one of them has more significant digits than the other:
user> (== 2 (. 2.0M stripTrailingZeros))
true
user> (== 2 2.0M )
false

A more absurd example occurs even between bigdecimals:
user> (== 0.000000M 0.0M)
false

I personally think this is "wrong" in the mathematical sense and have opened this bug to see if there is any interest in changing this.

Julie Schuller, MD, a member of the Society's Board of Directors and president of the Medical Society of Milwaukee County, was selected as one of 28 "Women of Influence" by the Milwaukee Business Journal. Doctor Schuller is the executive vice president and vice president of clinical affairs at the Sixteenth Street Community Health Centers (Centers) in Milwaukee.
Winners were chosen from 160 nominees by a panel looking for women who are "making a difference at work and in the community—someone who stands out but often believes that what she is doing is nothing special, even though it is obvious to others that it really is," according to Mark Kass, the publication's editor-in-chief.
Doctor Schuller won high praise for her role in helping build the Centers into a force for providing health care to some of Milwaukee's poorest residents on the city's south side and, more recently, in Waukesha. She joined the organization in 1995 as a primary care physician and now runs the day-to-day operations of the Health Centers. As part of her position as executive vice president she has arranged partnerships for Sixteenth Street patients to receive specialty care from three Milwaukee area health care systems: Wheaton Franciscan, Aurora Health Care and Columbia St. Mary's.
Doctor Schuller, who also chairs the Society's Council on Health Care Access is featured in the June 20 Milwaukee Business Journal's special "Women of Influence" supplement. The article describes her involvement in caring for the poor as a passion that began when she was a college student and continued through her medical training. When she finished medical school, she sought a role at a clinic serving the poor, which brought her to Sixteenth Street Health Clinics.

€70k taken in Carnaval party heist
By Maxime Zech on March 4, 2014 - 06:45
. (Source: Wikimedia/BrokenSphere)
The owner of a safe that was stolen from party center Chalet Fontaine in Kaatsheuvel is so emotional after the theft, he is offering a reward of €10,000 for a tip that may lead to the safe's contents.
Owner Luuk Broos is angry and sad. "I cried half the afternoon, I don't mind telling you", he said.
The safe, which was stolen Sunday night, stocked the success of the party center's carnaval weekend turnover. Around 1,800 carnaval partygoers came to the party center. The center made about €70,000-€80,000. Plastic coins and a bookings system for parties were also in the safe, Omroep Brabant reports.
Six robbers dropped the safe from the first floor of the building to the ground. "We all work really hard for this business. And then this happens. Unbelievable. I am furious and distressed. But I am convinced that they will be caught. They are clearly recognizable on the security footage", Broos tells.
Broos has offered a reward of €100,000 for the tip that will lead to the safe with entire contents. If the safe comes back with only the bookings system, then the person will get €3000.

in Literature, Poetry & Criticism Books
'She sees, coming up a second time, Earth from the ocean, eternally green; the waterfalls plunge, an eagle soars above them, over the mountain hunting fish.' After the terrible conflagration of Ragnarok, the earth rises serenely again from the ocean, and life is renewed. The Poetic Edda begins with The Seeress's Prophecy which recounts the creation of the world, and looks forward to its destruction and rebirth. In this great collection of Norse-Icelandic mythological and heroic poetry, the exploits of gods and humans are related., The one-eyed Odin, red-bearded Thor, Loki the trickster, the lovely goddesses and the giants who are their enemies walk beside the heroic Helgi, Sigurd the Dragon-Slayer, Brynhild the shield-maiden, and the implacable Gudrun. New in this revised translation are the quest-poem The Lay of Svipdag and The Waking of Angantyr, in which a girl faces down her dead father to retrieve his sword. Comic, tragic, instructive, grandiose, witty and profound, the poems of the Edda have influenced artists from Wagner to Tolkien and a new generation of video-game and film makers., ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Is your SIEM living in the past?
Bring your SIEM up to speed with real-time logs from Zscaler.
Zscaler's patented Nanolog Streaming Service delivers web and cloud firewall logs from all users in all locations. In real time.
With Zscaler, your SIEM can help you get a picture of what is happening across your entire network, instead of limiting your visibility to what has already happened. Zscaler's global cloud platform continuously collects and streams logs to you, across racks of gateways and thousands of users. So you have the power of true threat correlation—in real time.
How can you counter real-time threats with day-old data?
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems offer a means to correlate the appliance logs throughout your business, such as web gateways, firewalls, switches, and more. SIEMs have been the only way to get a true picture of what's happening across your business. The only problem is that it can take so long to get the logs of web and firewall transactions—which often require batch imports from your racks of security appliances in each of your gateways—that any event has long since happened. Even worse, the logs coming from different security appliances are often specific to each appliance, which means the real picture is even more difficult to see.
It can be deployed behind NAT or firewall. Remote assistance is available for advanced troubleshooting without punching a hole in the firewall.
Make the most of your SIEM with real-time web and cloud firewall logs.
Get an understanding of activities in time to take action.
No issue of batched or delayed logs getting to your SIEM.

Черноморская береговая линия — линия укреплений (крепостей, фортов и шанцев) Российской империи по восточному берегу Чёрного моря между Анапой и границей с Османской империей.

Линия построена с целью отрезать черкесам возможность получать контрабандой продовольствие, оружие и военные припасы из-за границы. Возведена в 1830-е годы. Демонтирована в 1854 году. Строительство линии положило начало таким крупным городам Черноморского побережья России, как Новороссийск, Геленджик, Сочи и другие.

История и причины создания
Возведение этой линии было обусловлено, с одной стороны, вмешательством Англии и Османской империи в кавказские дела Российской империи, с другой — желанием императора Николая I ускорить покорение Черкесии и Северо-Кавказского имамата, для прекращения разбоев и грабежей.

Вмешательство иностранцев в кавказские дела Российской империи на территории Черкесии началось сейчас же после заключения Адрианопольского мира 1829 года. Огромное влияние, которое Россия приобрела в Турции в 1830-х годах, раздражало западноевропейские державы, в особенности Англию. Отсюда тайные происки, возбуждавшие горцев Кавказа к упорной борьбе.

Почин в этом деле взяла на себя Англия; её орудиями были горцы, бежавшие в Константинополь из страха наказания за грабежи и разбои в пределах Российской империи или ездившие туда по своим семейным и торговым делам. Горцам внушали, что Турция никогда не отрекалась от своих прав на их родину (горцы, впрочем, не признавали ничьих прав на себя, как видно из ответа, данного одним убыхским старшиной русскому генералу, который требовал от него и его племени подчинения во имя уступки Турцией русским горских земель: «Вот птичка на дереве, генерал! Я дарю тебе её, возьми!»). Затем стали учить горцев, как нужно бороться с русскими, соединяясь в большие союзы; при этом им обещалась помощь Англии, Турции или египетского хедива и производилась даровая раздача оружия и военных припасов.

Среди прибрежных черкесских племён стали появляться англичане, потом поляки, которые выдавали себя перед простодушными дикарями за уполномоченных и посланников. Первым явился на черноморский берег Кавказа секретарь английского посольства в Константинополе Дэвид Уркварт, туркофил и ненавистник русских. Он высадился к шапсугам, среди которых пробыл несколько месяцев, издавая воззвания, возбуждая черкесов к защите их свободы. Воззвание это имело следствием сплочение ближайших племён: они поклялись не вступать ни в какие сношения с русскими, вследствие чего меновая торговля Российской империи, открытая в начале XIX века, временно остановилась, а нападения на линию участились и получили более правильный характер.

В конце 1836 года явился другой английский агент, купец Джеймс Белл, пробывший у черкесов два года. Его шхуна «Vixen» с разными товарами была конфискована крейсерами Российской империи. В начале 1837 года барон Розен, главнокомандующий на Кавказе, получил известие, что Белл с сотрудником газеты «Morning Chronicle» Лонгвортом хочет опять высадиться на берегу Кавказа с разными контрабандными товарами, имея паспорт от английского правительства. Вскоре он действительно появился среди шапсугов и натухайцев, как раз в то время, когда эти более мирные племена начали тяготиться бедствиями войны и уже готовились послать в Константинополь посольство, чтобы узнать, должны ли они ожидать помощи, обещанной английским правительством. Белль их остановил и настоял на том, чтоб черкесы не входили с русским правительством ни в какие переговоры до получения новых распоряжений от английского правительства. Шапсуги и натухайцы сообщили об этом абадзехам, приглашая их действовать с ними заодно. В начале мая Белль и Лонгворт появились на большом собрании горцев возле реки Пшада и представили ему бумагу, в которой от имени английского правительства советовали горцам явиться к русскому начальнику и объявить, что в сущности Россия никаких прав на них не имеет, как на народ, независимость которого признана всеми; если же и после этого русские не прекратят войны, то дать знать о том в Константинополь, откуда тотчас же отплывёт к черкесским берегам флот европейских держав, Турции и Египта, всего до 300 судов с десантом и боевыми припасами. Черкесы обратились к генералу Вельяминову, как их учил Белл, и вслед за тем произвели набеги на всю линию, которые стоили огромных жертв.

В 1839 году Белль появился среди убыхов и джигетов, поджигая их к нападению на Навагинский форт, обещая за голову генерала Раевского 1 млн руб. и распуская слух, что в Грузию вторглось огромное войско египетского паши и заняло многие крепости. При неоднократных нападениях на Навагинский форт Белль наводил на него убыхские пушки.

В 1840-х и 1850-х годах являлись неоднократно на черноморском Кавказе и даже в Дагестане не только отдельные агенты, но и целые иностранные отряды, состоявшие из авантюристов разных наций, особенно из поляков и венгерцев, причём суда и деньги давала Англия, иногда Австрия.

В 1851 году, например, действовали в Закубанье поляк Младецкий и итальянец Пичикини, в 1857 году — целая экспедиция в 190 человек (поляки и венгры), в составлении которой принимали участие Решид-паша, английский посол лорд Рэдклиф и австрийский посол Прокеш-Остен, а исполнением всего дела заведовал граф Замойский, на английские деньги; во главе экспедиции был поставлен поляк Лапинский (Мехмед-бей).

Это вмешательство иностранных держав усилило стремление правительства Российской империи поскорее окончить бесконечную войну с кавказскими горцами.

О средствах достижения этой цели неоднократно были запрашиваемы авторитетные генералы, свои и иностранные. В записке, представленной в 1833 году, генерал-лейтенант А. А. Вельяминов говорит следующее:

«опыт показал, что военные суда наши, крейсирующие около восточных берегов Чёрного моря, не в состояния уследить и изловить турецкие суда, подвозящие горцам жизненные и военные припасы, а от них получающие пленных и рабов, которых продают в Константинополе и на других рынках Турции. Турецкие лодки очень малы, легко прячутся в устьях рек, впадающих в море, где их не может настичь большое судно. Лучшее средство не допустить турецких купцов до торговли с черкесами — постройка небольших крепостей во всех местах, где пристают турецкие суда. Отрезать же горцев от сношений с турками важно потому, что если от Кубани мы будем делать набеги на земли черкесов и истреблять ежегодно все их хлебные запасы, вытаптывать их поля и оттеснять их все дальше в горы, где у них мало пастбищ, то, не имея подвоза хлеба с моря, они изнемогут в несколько лет и подчинятся нам. Отнятые плоские места следует заселить русскими станицами и деревнями, а в горах занять важные в стратегическом отношении пункты. Построить много крепостей на черноморском берегу невозможно в один год, а потому пусть вдоль берега энергично крейсируют наши суда, а по самому берегу между Анапой и Гаграми двигается отряд для наблюдения за высадками турок».

Под влиянием этих соображений, император Николай I приказал построить ряд фортов и крепостей по западному берегу Кавказа в удобных, по местным соображениям, пунктах, рассрочив эту постройку на несколько лет.

Состав Черноморской береговой линии
На черноморском берегу издавна существовал целый ряд древних поселений, которые прежде принадлежали туркам и были ими укреплены, а теперь, по миру в Адрианополе, достались Российской империи: Анапа, Сухум, Редут-Кале, Поти и др. Укрепление Гагры в устье реки Жуэквары было выстроено в 1830 г. десантным отрядом генерала Пацовского для преграждения черкесам возможности свободно проходить с целью грабежа в Абхазию. Во время управления правым флангом генерала Эммануэля, в 1831 году, было решено провести военную линию от левого берега реки Кубани против Ольгинского редута через земли шапсугов по Абинскому ущелью до Геленджикского залива, где и построить крепость Геленджик.

Черноморская береговая линия включала в себя следующие укрепления:

Строительство береговых укреплений
Мнение генерал-лейтенанта Вельяминова в вышеприведённой записке 1833 года отразилось на плане действий в 1834 году, где значилось: «Если можно, направить отряд из Абхазии в Геленджик для затруднения сношений горских племён с Турцией». В 1834 году генерал-лейтенант Вельяминов заложил Абинское укрепление и дошёл до Геленджика. На юге черноморского берега в этом же году были заложены два укрепления — одно возле деревни Илори, другое на реке Кодоре, у Драндского монастыря. В 1835 году было возведено Николаевское (Нижне-Атакуафское) укрепление для связи укреплений Геленджикской линии между Ольгинским редутом и Геленджиком: шапсуги и натухайцы упорно обороняли в этих местах свои жилища, но принуждены были отступить в горы и леса. Бомбора и Пицунда, построенные в 1830 году, были в это время небольшими укреплениями, через которые в 1834 году генерал Ахлёстышев провёл дорогу до реки Бзыбь; при впадении этой реки в море было устроено небольшое укрепление для охраны переправы, но в следующем же году река смыла его. Весной 1836 года Драндский монастырь был обращён в укрепление. В Илори был выстроен небольшой редут (1834) на берегу реки Галидзги. Укрепления Гагр были исправлены. В 1836 году было основано укрепление Александрия, возле теперешнего Новороссийска, а в 1837 и следующих годах было предположено довести до конца постройку ряда укреплений по берегу Чёрного моря от Гагр до Геленджика, чтобы окончательно отрезать горцев от всяких сношений с турками.

Эта торопливость в занятии нашими крепостями черноморского берега Кавказа не одобрялась генерал-лейтенантом Вельяминовым, так как он считал необходимым в борьбе с горцами двигаться шаг за шагом, не оставляя непокорённого пространства, соединяя занятые места хорошими и безопасными дорогами и закрепляя их за нами устройством русских поселений. Дорога вдоль берега часто прерывалась скалами, прокладка её требовала страшных усилий, денег и времени, а отчаянное сопротивление горцев, при крайне благоприятных для их действий условиях местности, вырывало из рядов подданных Российской империи массу народа.

Было решено, поэтому, впредь основывать укрепления, высаживая десант прямо к месту постройки; только ближайшие к Геленджику укрепления были построены отрядом генерал-лейтенанта Вельяминова, подошедшим сухим путём. Сам командующий войсками барон Розен руководил войсками, которые 18 июня 1837 года основали укрепления Св. Духа на мысе Константиновском (или Ардилер, в русской переделке Адлер), при впадении реки Мзымты в море; здесь при высадке отряда 7 июня был убит во время перестрелки нашей цепи с джигетами убыхами прапорщик А. А. Бестужев (Марлинский). В то же самое время из Геленджика двинулся генерал-лейтенант А. А. Вельяминов через перевал Вардовие по ужасающей дороге, при непрерывном бое с горцами, к устью реки Пшада, отправив туда артиллерию и тяжести морем. 6 июня 1837 года заложено было Новотроицкое укрепление, 29 июля — Михайловское укрепление.

21 апреля 1838 года отрядом генерал-майора Симборского было заложено в устьях реки Сочи укрепление, названное сначала в честь императрицы Александрией, но потом переименованное в Навагинское; убыхи яростно нападали на наши войска, но должны были уступить силе и искусству.

Генерал-майор Раевский, командовавший войсками за смертью генерал-лейтенанта Вельяминова, 12 мая высадился в устьях реки Туапсе и 22 мая, после отчаянной борьбы с шапсугами и абадзехами, заложил укрепление Вельяминовское; затем войска, строившие это укрепление, были перевезены к устью реки Шапсухо (или Шапсуго), где с 11 июля приступили к постройке Тенгинского укрепления; окончив его к 20-му августа, главнокомандующий генерал-лейтенант Головин построил в Суджукской бухте блокгауз и форт Новороссийский, с тем, чтобы потом устроить здесь военный форт, адмиралтейство и крепость. В 1839 году генерал-майор Раевский высадился у устья реки Субаши и 12 мая заложил Головинский форт, а по окончании его перевёз войска к устью реки Псезуапсе, где 12 июля был заложен форт Лазарева; по возвращении в Анапу часть отряда была направлена на реку Мескагу, где было построено (к 18 октября) укрепление Раевского, связывавшее Анапу с Новороссийском.

Этим было закончено возведение линии новых укреплений по восточному берегу Чёрного моря.

Вся эта вновь устроенная Черноморская береговая линия была разделена в 1839 году на два отделения: первое — от устья Кубани до Навагинского форта, второе — от Навагинского форта до границы Мингрелии. В административно-военном отношении сюда же была присоединена Абхазия и Цебельда, со всеми расположенными там войсками. Начальником всей Черноморской береговой линии был назначен генерал-лейтенант Раевский.

Катастрофа 1840 года
Горцы не могли свыкнуться с появлением укреплений Российской империи на их земле. По недостатку времени и по ошибочному расчёту укрепления эти, как и в Дагестане, не получили прочных и сильных профилей и не имели достаточных гарнизонов, которые к тому же страшно ослаблялись необыкновенной болезненностью и смертностью (в укреплении Св. Духа, например, весь гарнизон, состоявший из 922 человек, вымер в течение 5 лет; в 1845 году на всей Черноморской линии было убито 18, а умерло от болезней 2427 человек).

Скоро оказалось, что все труды Российской империи на черноморском берегу пропали даром: не форты Российской империи грозили горцам, а горцы держали все форты в постоянной блокаде. Непрочная постройка укреплений, вместе с проливными дождями, через год-два совершенно разрушили большую часть верков черноморских укреплений. Во всех укреплениях береговой линии вместо 25 980 человек, которые составляли бы минимум нужного числа, было налицо только 2776 человек.

В начале 1840 года в горах разразился страшный голод, вследствие чего у горцев появилась мысль напасть на наши укрепления, где можно было добыть много всякого провианта. 7 февраля 1840 года 1500 горцев напали на форт Лазарева и, несмотря на отчаянное мужество 78 человек гарнизона, взяли его, истребив всех защитников; 29 февраля та же участь постигла Вельяминовское укрепление на реке Туапсе. 23 марта несколько тысяч горцев окружили Михайловское укрепление, где начальником был штабс-капитан Николай Константинович Лико, человек с непреклонной волей: он решил взорвать укрепление; исполнить это взялся рядовой Тенгинского полка Архип Осипов. Всех защитников укрепления было около 250 человек, остальные лежали в лазарете или ослабели от болезни. Около 11 000 шапсугов и абадзехов из долин рек Фарс и Курджипс бросились на приступ, неся лестницы; отбитые, они оправились и вновь отчаянно полезли на укрепление; гарнизон был изрублен, но когда горцы толпой бросились к пороховому погребу и стали ломиться туда, Архип Осипов взорвал погреб и погиб вместе с 3000 черкесами. В марте, мае и июне горцы неоднократно нападали на Навагинское укрепление, но взять его не смогли. 2 апреля 1840 года горцы овладели Николаевским укреплением, а 26 мая напали на Абинское, но, потеряв 685 человек убитыми, бежали. Эта неудача и громадные потери охладили горцев: они разошлись по домам и больше ничего в этом году не предпринимали.

Восстановление укреплений
Император Николай I приказал восстановить форты и снабдить их всем необходимым. Вся Черноморская береговая линия после того была разделена на 3 отделения: первое, от Кубани до Геленджика, состояло из станицы Николаевской, форта Раевского, крепостей Анапы, Джемитея, станиц Витязевой, Новороссийска и укрепления Кабардинского; второе, от Геленджика до Навагинского — из Геленджика, Новотроицкого, укрепления Тенгинского, фортов Лазарева и Вельяминовского; третье, от укрепления Навагинского к югу до укрепления Илори — из укреплений Навагинского, Головинского, Св. Духа, Гагр, Бомбор, Пицунды, Сухум-Кале, форта Марамбо, Дранд и Илори.

Ввиду тяжёлой службы в укреплениях Черноморская береговой линии, император Николай I приказал убавить служащим и служившим солдатам год службы, а офицерам год к выслуге ордена Св. Георгия за 25 лет. После этого крупных перемен в количестве фортов не было; только в разделении Черноморской береговой линии в 1843 году была произведена перемена продлением этой линии до турецкой границы и включением в неё Редут-Кале, Поти и форта Св. Николая, с образованием из них четвёртого отделения. В таком виде Черноморская береговая линия оставалась до оставления фортов Российской империи в 1854 году.

Жизнь в укреплениях и меновая торговля
После тяжёлого 1840 года серьёзных катастроф на Черноморской береговой линии не было, но нападения на отдельные укрепления бывали; что же касается до нападений на людей, то они повторялись непрерывно. Добывание дров, обработка огородов, пастьба скота, косьба сена, даже рытье могил приходилось оплачивать кровью.

Число перестрелок более серьёзного характера с целой толпой в несколько сот и даже тысяч человек было довольно значительно; так, в 1845 году (в этом отношении довольно обыкновенный год) на всей Черноморской береговой линии было дел и перестрелок 67 раз. В большинстве фортов, где были меновые дворы, торговля шла, однако, своим чередом, увеличиваясь или уменьшаясь по месяцам, в зависимости от нужд горцев и их средств. Только изредка, когда появлялся какой-нибудь английский или турецкий эмиссар и уговаривал горцев прекратить всякие сношения с русскими или когда сами горцы надумывали большое нападение, торговля падала до суммы 15—20 руб. в месяц. Более значительна по размерам была меновая торговля в Анапе: там кругом жили натухайцы, народ более мирный, занимавшийся хлебопашеством и торговлей и издавна сносившийся с русскими; в мае 1841 года они привезли в Анапу леса на 5138 арбах и купили соли 1500 пудов. В других местах торговля была много меньше, на сумму 100—150 руб. в месяц.

Кое-где горцы приходили в укрепления Российской империи на заработки (например, убыхи и джигеты в Навагинском), а в голодные годы толпы их кормились около укреплений, прося милостыню, причём они приводили на продажу своих крепостных, а бедные — детей, продавая их за 1—2 меры хлеба, за пуд соли и т. п.

Правительство Российской империи не желало, чтобы торг с горцами в укреплениях побуждал их к хищничеству, а потому было строго запрещено покупать у них краденое, например лошадей и т. п., а тем более людей. В меновой торговле русское правительство видело средство сблизить горцев с русскими, втянуть их в более мирные отношения к нам, познакомить их с более культурным бытом. В этом смысле меновая торговля Российской империи имела мало успеха уже потому, что культура казаков, ближайших соседей черкесов, была немногим выше черкесской, да и быт их был очень близок к черкесскому, а с другой стороны — для такого воздействия нужно более продолжительное время и более мирные отношения.

Демонтаж укреплений в 1854 году

Положение гарнизонов в этих береговых укреплениях было крайне тяжёлое: сношения их между собой сухим путём были немыслимы вследствие отсутствия дорог и воинственности населения, которое даже значительные отряды Российской империи пропускало по берегу только при условии превосходных сил и непрерывных схваток, небольшие же части войск безусловно были бы перебиты, если бы вздумали двинуться берегом. Сношения фортов морем возможны были не всегда, так как зимой Чёрное море очень бурно; летом сношения поддерживались крейсерами и азовскими лодками, которые должны были стеречь контрабандные суда турок и не допускать их до высадки, ловить их и истреблять на суше, если они успели втянуться на берег. Но крейсера Российской империи и др. суда военного флота посещали укрепления только изредка, а азовских лодок было мало, да притом они имели специальное назначение, не представляя особого интереса для заключённых в фортах сидельцев.

Впрочем, приход азовцев был всё-таки проявлением жизни. Когда оканчивалась навигация, наступали длинные, тёмные ночи, проливные дожди, страшные бури на море, когда появлялось сознание полной отрезанности от всего мира, тогда невообразимая тоска охватывала молодых солдат, а старые отдавались беспробудному пьянству. В фортах не было даже настоящих церквей и полного причта. Блокирование большой крепости сопряжено с огромными затруднениями, блокировать же такую крепость, как Кавказский хребет, на протяжении 400—600 вёрст, и с таким воинственным гарнизоном, как кавказские горцы, было предприятием почти невозможным, особенно без энергичного движения с севера, какое предлагал генерал-лейтенант Вельяминов. Оставалось множество второстепенных долин, по которым путь к морю был свободен.

Положение береговых укреплений Российской империи было опасно даже при условии господства на море; когда же в 1854 году иностранный флот появился на Чёрном море, их существование сделалось немыслимым. Уже в 1849 г. среди черкесов северного склона гор появился агент Шамиля Мохаммед-Эмин и вскоре подчинил своему влиянию натухайцев и убыхов: это сказалось в чрезвычайном движении горских шаек, не дававших покоя всей кордонной линии, а также отчасти и береговой; когда же в 1853 году отношения Российской империи к Турции стали портиться и дело дошло до войны, то под влиянием Мохаммеда-Эмина был сделан ряд приступов к фортам Российской империи: в 1853 году, 19 июля, горцы появились у Геленджика, 23 и 27 июля нападали на Тенгинское укрепление, 26 июля на Гостогаевское, но безуспешно. Мохаммед-Эмин объявил тогда горцам, что как только английские и др. западноевропейские суда появятся на Чёрном море, горцы, в числе 30 тысяч, должны напасть на укрепления Российской империи с суши. Турция употребляла все усилия, чтобы поднять горцев всего Кавказа против Российской империи и уговорить их действовать единодушно. Положение фортов между двух огней, с суши и с моря, было отчаянное: помимо невозможности выдержать атаку с суши и с моря, гарнизоны должны были погибнуть с голоду, как только истощатся раньше запасённые припасы, потому что флот Российской империи был заперт, а потом и потоплен в Севастополе.

Газета «Кавказ», № 30, от 1854 года, сообщала:«С 3 по 5 марта 1854 г. отрядом кораблей под флагом вице-адмирала Л. М. Серебрякова сняты гарнизоны укреплений Черноморской береговой линии. Состав отряда: пароходы "Молодец", флаг вице-адмирала Л. М. Серебрякова, "Крым", флаг контр-адмирала А. И. Панфилова, "Одесса", "Херсонес", "Боец", Могучий», «Аргонавт», гребные суда на буксире пароходов и транспорта «Мамай», «Бзыб», «Гостогай», «Кодос», «Цемес». Гарнизоны в количестве 5 тысяч человек со своими семьями, вольнопромышленники, большая часть казённого имущества доставлены в Новороссийск, а сами укрепления взорваны и сожжены".

Л. М. Серебряков отдал приказ гарнизоны вместе с женщинами, детьми и вольнопромышленниками эвакуировать в Геленджик и Новороссийск.

Снова русские войска придут на берег реки Сочи через 10 лет.

North East capacity for startup success: Where are we and where do we go next?
Newcastle's Centre for Life recently hosted a new conference which looked to understand and develop the economic landscape within the city and across the North East of England.
Organised by PNE Group, the enterprise development organisation, the inaugural 'Advancing the North East' event brought together a panel of experts to discuss strategies that will help promote and improve innovation within North East businesses.
A significant focus of the event looked at how collaboration, strengthening our professional services and leveraging existing assets would power additional economic growth and create more jobs within the region.
The event featured talks from industry leaders including Carole O'Neil, Partner and Human Resources Director at Cundall; David Irwin, Founder of PNE Group and Irwin Grayson; Colin Bell, Business Growth Director at North East LEP and Jacqui Miller-Charlton MBE, Entrepreneur and Ambassador for Brand Britain.
In addition, Scott Dickinson, Associate at SDG Economic Development and co-author of IPPR's influential 'Brexit North' paper presented original research on the evening, setting the context for the event.
Sixty key stakeholders attended the event, including North East policy makers, academics and thought leaders.
Paul Lancaster, Founder of Plan Digital UK attended the event and commented: "I owe my deep social conscience and passion for helping people start and grow businesses to the time I spent working for the PNE Group between 2005-2012.
"Almost all the great start up activity you can see in Newcastle today can be traced back to the work they've been doing since the early 80s.
PNE Group works to inspire business and drive economic success in the North East.
To date it has worked with over 10,000 businesses and start-ups, supported 80,000 people with their professional development and distributed £15.5m of funds, helping to enable real, positive social and economic change on a personal, local, national or international scale.
Dawn Cranswick, Chief Executive of PNE Group, commented: "The North East is a hugely successful region for business, collaboration and innovation and has a fantastic track record of developing new talent. However, there is always more that we can do to empower businesses and drive forward growth.
"We are therefore delighted to have launched our first conference, 'Advancing the North East' – an event that discussed the North East strategic economic plan and the future landscape of the region.

Lake District Chief Exec Pleads For People To Stay Away From The Area Following Changes To COVID-19 Guidelines
Chief Executive of The Lakes District National Park Authority is pleading for people to not visit the Lakes, despite the changes in COVID-19 guidelines.
In a 50-page document released yesterday it now states people are able to make 'day trips' and drive as far as they like for exercise as from Wednesday, May 13.
However, Richard Leafe, the CE of the Lake District National Park Authority is asking people to not 'rush back to the Lake District' and 'help protect our communities'.
He said: "Following the Government's announcement that people will be able to travel for exercise from Wednesday, we know that many will be keen to visit the Lake District. This is understandable for the many physical and mental health benefits the National Park provides.
"However, sadly Cumbria currently has one of the highest Covid-19 infection rates in the UK, therefore keeping our staff and local communities safe must remain our priority."
In his statement he continued to say new visitors to the lakes would put 'unnecessary pressure' on emergency services.
"For example, our mountain rescue teams are made up of volunteers, many of whom work in the NHS and other frontline professions, so we cannot afford to put unnecessary pressure on them" he commented, "So for now, we're asking people not to rush back to the Lake District – help protect our communities, the fells will still be here when this passes."
Leafe went on to confirm many businesses in the Lakes would remain closed until the 'time is right'.
"Campsites, hotels, restaurants and many businesses across the Lake District remain closed," He added, "When the time is right, we look forward to welcoming visitors back to the Lake District and have been working with partners to put measures in place that will help keep people safe, such as new car park information and availability to help plan ahead.
"For now, we ask everyone who lives in and visits the Lake District to act responsibly, continue to observe social distancing and stay safe. We wait to hear further details from the Government."

Le Picton Castle est un trois-mâts barque, à coque en acier riveté. C'est un navire-école canadien offrant un apprentissage de la navigation au long cours.

Histoire
Le Picton Castle est, à sa construction en 1928, un chalutier à moteur pour une pêcherie de  Swansea en pays de Galles. Son nom provient d'un château médiéval gallois.

En  il est réquisitionné par la Royal Navy et transformé en dragueur de mines sous le nom de HMS Picton Castle pour opérer sur les côtes de Norvège.

Après la Seconde guerre mondiale, le navire rebaptisé Dolmar sert de cargo dans la mer du Nord et la mer Baltique .

Dans les années 1990, il est racheté par Daniel Moreland qui en est toujours le commandant. Il est ramené au Canada pour subir une refonte en trois-mâts barque.

Il a participé à la Sydney-Auckland Tall Ships Regatta 2013.

"Master…." Bai Hao said, staring blankly at the person who looked exactly like himself. He was a bit confused about why this person would call himself his Master. He didn't remember ever having a Master before. If anything, the only 'Masters' he had ever had before his death were the handful of secret cultivation texts he had acquired back in his clan.
He had all of his memories up to the moment of his death, but everything after that was mostly blank. All he remembered was a haze of violent madness in which he swam endlessly through blinding fog, consumed with the desire to eat any living thing he encountered.
Those memories of madness caused him to gasp, and filled his heart with indescribable terror.
It was almost as if the moment he closed his eyes in death, he had gone to sleep. Now he was awake, and yet, his heart was filled with more confusion than ever. Then he looked down at himself, and found that his own hands would pass through his body if he tried to touch himself.
All of the things he was currently experiencing had Bai Hao feeling extremely confused.
As for Bai Xiaochun, he stood there with his hands clasped behind his back, glancing down out of the corner of his eye at Bai Hao, trying to look as profound as possible. He was also secretly measuring him up, and when he realized that he was simply staring off into space, and completely ignoring him, he started to feel a bit awkward, and even a bit miffed. With that, he loudly cleared his throat to remind Bai Hao that he was standing there.
From the way he spoke, it seemed as if he were putting the pieces of the puzzle together even as the words left his mouth.
Each word struck Bai Xiaochun's like lightning, and his eyes flickered at how incredible Bai Hao was. Only a few words had been spoken since he woke up, and he had already deduced Bai Xiaochun's identity.
"The reason you look like me, Senior, is that you must have assumed my identity after I died. As for why we are now able to meet again in person, though… I really can't wrap my mind around that." More confusion appeared in his eyes, as if he almost couldn't believe what was happening.
Bai Xiaochun gave him a profound look. Although he had always known Bai Hao was intelligent, he could never have imagined that he would be this intelligent.
"That's correct. After you died, I looked through your bag of holding, and then took your place in the Bai Clan…." With that, he proceeded to explain to Bai Hao about how he had taken him as an apprentice. Then he went on to recount everything that had occurred during his time in the Bai Clan, with the exception of a few points that were unnecessary to explain.
As Bai Hao listened, it was impossible for him to hide the complex emotions he felt. He could almost visualize all the scenes Bai Xiaochun described, especially the incident in which his father had confronted him in the place where his mother had died. That was when his father had revealed that he was aware of how talented Bai Hao was in flame conjuring, and yet had gone on to talk about him submitting, and had even revealed open killing intent. At that point, hatred and anger began to burn brightly in Bai Hao's eyes.
Bai Hao was familiar with his clan, especially Madam Cai and the clan chief. As such, he immediately realized… that everything Bai Xiaochun was telling him was true.
Eventually, Bai Xiaochun explained how, as Bai Hao, he had killed Bai Qi, turned traitor against the clan, and had later used his power as a follower of the Giant Ghost King to exact harsh punishment upon the clan. He had killed the clan chief, executed Madam Cai, and installed the fifth young lady as the new clan chieftess. Bai Hao's chest heaved, and his mind reeled under the waves of shock that were caused by Bai Xiaochun's words.
The things which Bai Xiaochun had done for him were things he himself could never have done even if he wanted to.
Finally, Bai Xiaochun explained how he had randomly encountered Bai Hao's soul in the Necromancer Kettle. He also went on to describe, without any exaggerations, the dangers which had been involved. In fact, he actually glossed over that danger to some extent, giving mostly just an overview.
However, Bai Hao was smarter than the average person, and realized that within the glossed-over areas of the story, there definitely were moments of profound danger and crisis. Shivering, he looked up at Bai Xiaochun, eyes shining with gratitude.
Although he realized that this person had obviously done many things out of his own self-interest, he had also helped him get the vengeance he deserved, and would have sought for himself if he could….
He slapped his chest proudly to emphasize his words.
"Do you want to know who your Master is? I'm the majordomo of Giant Ghost City, and also the inspections commissioner. There is only one person who ranks higher than me, and tens upon tens of thousands who rank below me. Hmmmphh! I even kidnapped the Giant Ghost King once. And in the Necromancer Kettle, I kidnapped the heirs apparent and chosen from almost all of the important clans and organizations in the Wildlands! Crown princes, heirs apparent, princesses? Hah! I defeated each and every one of them! Oh right, there was also some guy everyone called the second prince!" With that he went on to brag a bit more about everything which had occurred in the Necromancer Kettle, and this time he didn't gloss over anything. He actually described everything in vivid detail, the way he normally would.
Bai Hao responded by looking at him with mute astonishment.
With that, he clasped his hands behind his back again, then lifted his chin and tried to look as strict as possible. At the same time, he glanced at Bai Hao out of the corner of his eye, waiting for him to kowtow in formal fashion to become his apprentice.
A complex expression could be seen on Bai Hao's face. As a soul body, he could sense from the soul power fluctuations in the area that a large quantity of soul medicine had recently been used in the surrounding mountains….
And as a necromancer, he knew that restoring the memories of a soul was a heaven-defying process of incredible difficulty. Clearly, this person who called himself his Master had completely bloodshot eyes, and he was obviously working hard to appear to be in good condition. However, he couldn't cover up how wan he was. It was obvious that he had worked very hard, and paid a huge price, to restore Bai Hao's memories.
"Does he really care about me…?" he thought, a warm feeling building up inside of him. At this point, he recalled how, upon first recovering his memories, this person who called himself his Master had been looking at him with deep concern.
That concern gave rise to emotions that Bai Hao had not felt for a very long time. No one in his life had ever cared about him other than his mother. As a young man in the Bai Clan, he had often been humiliated. As he grew older, he had harbored a deep if ignorant hope that he could gain the approval of his father, and perhaps the entire clan. But in the end, he had been cruelly slaughtered…. As of this point, it was all in the past.
After a long moment, he rose to his feet, walked over to Bai Xiaochun, and dropped to his knees. His expression was serious and sincere. He didn't want to sit around thinking about the past. He knew that this Master of his had already gained vengeance for him, a kindness which filled him with profound gratitude. From the bottom of his heart, he was absolutely willing to be his apprentice.
"Everything from the past ended with my death," he thought. "Now that I'm awake again, my Master… is my only family!" As he swore this oath in his heart, he thought about the sincere concern Bai Xiaochun had showed for him, and was convinced that he had finally found a second person in his life who cared about him.
Then he kowtowed deeply three times. After that he rose to his feet, then dropped back down to kowtow again.
Three expressions of respect. Nine kowtows!!
Bai Xiaochun was moved by what he was seeing, and his heart trembled with emotion. After silently accepting the kowtows, his gaze softened, and a profound feeling filled him that was a mixture of joy and pity.
With that, he waved his hand, sending Bai Hao into a soulhoarding pagoda.
Within that soulhoarding pagoda, Bai Hao would have a large measure of freedom. He could come out into the open at any time he wished, and because of certain special aspects of his soul body, could take virtually any form he wished.
