Hmm, so I did sleep 3 hours of core sleep, but then sort of "crashed" with a whopping 14.5 hour nap. Well, it wasn't 15 hours straight–I woke up at 4 am, then again at 6, then 6:30, 7, 9, etc. So I'll just put down 14.5 hours instead of 8. It's tough trying to kill old habits… Anyway, the reason why I "crashed" was because I ate a tiny lunch (half of a salad) at 1 pm, but then didn't eat dinner until 6:30 pm. And I was so hungry at the time, and ended up devouring a mountain of food. It was too much, I think, and so when I took my nap at 7:30 pm, I didn't wake up (fully) until 10:00 am. Gah, I'm totally messing up my schedule now. Oh well. I'll just have to keep on trying. It is now 7 pm, and I am skipping my usual nap. Thus, what follow is 1 1/2 day's worth of data:
Day 10 stats:
- Core: 3 hrs
- Nap: 14.5 hrs
- Cumulative hours slept: 82.5 hrs
- Average amount of sleep per day: 8.25 hrs
My stats are not impressive, I know. But hey, it's a start, right? And plus, these stats still beat my old average of 10+ hours per day (that's on the weekdays, not to mention the 12 hour sleep schedules on the weekends.

Submit your feedback, help us keep members engaged during this time
Dear Nautili,
We had an online emergency committee tonight re Covid-19 via Zoom. An interesting experience, with new rules of communication, and underwater sign language proved to be handy. And I would like to share with all of you the main issues we discussed tonight:
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic
- Diving: All dive operators have ceased operations for the next few months. We can't predict the future but we expect that diving might not be possible for quite some time. The Dive Coordinator will keep close contact with the operators and as soon it is safe and feasible to dive again, you will be the first to know.
As current restrictions are easing (from June 2020), some special dives are being organised so watch that space! Please look to your email Inbox for further details and when dive events will resume.
- All overseas trips are in the process of being cancelled or deferred. Australia's borders are closed and we don't know for how long, but expect quite some time. Akiko has been keeping all members who are affected by this up to date. No new overseas trips will be planned at this stage.
- The Underwater Photo-competition 2020 has been cancelled. We are all very sorry we had to make this decision but we did not see a way to pull it off. We hope that we can organise the Photo-competition again in 2021 – we will keep you updated.
- Club-meetings – all physical club-meetings are cancelled until further notice. We are thinking of ways to organise other means to keep in contact and keep our dive appetites wetted. If you have suggestions or contributions, please share
- Newsletter – self-isolation and writing articles or sending in items, photos, stories, news for the Newsletter go very well together. Please send in your contributions to email@example.com
If you have any questions or suggestions, or wish to share information with members, let us know.
It is on us as a community to help each other and get each other through these rough times.
Stay safe and keep each other safe.
Warm wishes,
Nautilus Scuba Club President

To the Editor:
"Profiling Rules Said to Give F.B.I. Tactical Leeway" (front page, April 10) raises the age-old question: Who watches the watchers?
Be it the F.B.I., the C.I.A. or any government agency, how do American citizens know that the agents conduct themselves according to the task's mission statement? Congressional oversight committees should apply reasonable judgment in determining answers to this question. After all, we want to preserve our freedoms and privacy but also want government protection against criminals and terrorists.
Racial profiling, data collection and National Security Agency sampling of everyone's communications are fine as long as the agencies do not take excessive liberties within that task. Of course, political motivations have led to abuse of such techniques in the past, so Americans are rightfully wary.
So I have this simple question for employees of our government intelligence agencies: "Would you feel O.K. being observed using your methods?" If not, then they are probably illegitimate.
Highland, N.Y., April 10, 2014
To the Editor:
Re "European Court Cites Privacy in Rejecting Data Law" (Business Day, April 9):
With the decision from the European Court of Justice this week that the unbounded collection of telephone records violates a fundamental right to privacy, many are wondering why this practice continues in the United States. We are after all the country of the Bill of Rights, the Fourth Amendment and a strong civil liberties tradition.
Some point to 9/11 for justification, but the European Court also had to weigh the 2004 and 2005 train attacks in Madrid and London. Still it decided that the collection of all telephone records was simply disproportionate. Also, the two expert panels in the United States that reviewed the National Security Agency's telephone record collection program found it to be ineffective. And that was after the intelligence community was given many opportunities to make the case to keep the program.
There is a lot to be done to narrow the United States-European Union divide on privacy. President Obama can begin by ending the N.S.A. telephone record collection program. Congress can update our badly outdated privacy laws. And then United States and European lawmakers can work together to safeguard a right deeply valued on both sides of the Atlantic.

These 32GB Lexar flash drives on ebay seem awfully cheap
The 32GB Lexar flash drives listed on ebay by UK seller princekechy seem suspiciously cheap to us – almost half what you would pay buying one direct from Lexar. The profit margins on flash memory are not 50% so we suspect these may well be counterfeits purchased from a fraudulent supplier. If they are counterfeit they will also be fake capacity.
As usual we strongly advise ebayers to test all flash memory with the free program h2testw.
Report in to SOSFakeFlash if your testing confirms you have a false capacity device.
One Response
A potential customer contacted this seller and asked if the seller would be willing to test with h2testw to confirm capacity before purchase as there are a lot of counterfeits for sale on ebay. They, like us, were concerned at the exceptionally low price.
The seller refused to test and stated the drives were not fakes and were covered by a 2 year guarantee.
A 2 year guarantee is worthless on a counterfeit drive.
With customer service skills like this, I would strongly recommend avoiding this seller.

I was quite surprised to find that there are an extensive network of bike paths throughout the Florida Keys. I even came to find out that this network has been linked and is now called the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail. When the trail is great, it's amazing; it is beautifully paved, straight, surrounded by landscaped or natural habitat, runs over fishing bridges separate from the main traffic, and is well marked. When the trail is bad, it's terrible; it can be nonexistent, bumpy to the point that it rattles all the bolts on your bike loose, switches sides of the highway without proper crossings, and sometimes just plain ends with very little warning. The portion that runs through Key Largo is the latter, especially after a rain. I found that the surface water runoff from US-1 in Key Largo ponds on the bike route. After my initial chagrin, I decided "what the heck!" My shoes were already soaking wet, my morning was cool but humid, and I have fenders on my Trek Allant bike to save me from the dreaded back-stripe. So before you know it, I was riding through the puddles, which sometimes came up to the middle of my bicycle gears, sticking my legs out to the sides, giggling with delight, and smiling from ear to ear. It was 7am, I looked like a fool, but I was having a ball doing it! Mind you, I was soaking wet, covered in a film of white mud from the puddles, and still looked very much homeless with wet clothes and shoes hanging from my pack. The heavy morning traffic (yes, lots of big trucks at this time) must have been chuckling at the hilarious site.
The majority of the day was overcast and humid. I was thankful for the cloud cover, as it saved me from the glaring sun and the intense heat I had expected. I rode about 16 miles in the morning before taking a break. My first stop of the day was at the Lorelei Cabana Bar which had been recommended to me by a few friends. and checking on my afternoon plans. While the local fisherman drank coffee, I decided to order my first beer in the islands. Yes, it was 10:30am, but I was already on island time!
The big attraction to the Lorelei Cabana Bar is docked behind the bar:
It's a floating limousine called the Nautilimo! The same owner also owns the pirate ship next to it.
View from the back tiki bar at Lorelei Cabana Bar
Later on down the road, I found a local artists' village, called the Rain Barrel, with lots of local goodies. Fortunately for my wallet, I was saved from buying lots of great art by my limited carrying abilities.
View from the back tiki bar at Lorelei Cabana Bar
Later on down the road, I found a local artists' village, called the Rain Barrel, with lots of local goodies. Fortunately for my wallet, I was saved from buying lots of great art by my limited carrying abilities.
This massive Florida Spiny Lobster sculpture in front of the village makes the artist shops hard to miss.After a little bit of shopping, I was back on my bike, riding through puddles.
I had found that a few of the National champion trees were located on Lignumvitae Key, a botanical state park located on a key just off of the main keys that is accessible only by boat. After having called ahead a week before, I was particularly excited to see the trees on such a secluded and protected island. The park staff had informed me that most of the rangers knew the locations of the champion trees and they could probably show them to me during a tour, which took place at 10am or 2pm. I was aiming for the 2pm tour and planned to catch a ferry from Robbie's Marina around noon. Within about 7 miles of Robbie's Marina, I decided to give them a call to verify the launch time. Much to my surprise, they informed me that Lignumvitae Key Botanical State Park is not open on Tuesdays or Wednesdays (this was Wednesday June 30)...DOH! Dang! Now what? I kicked the dirt with my feet for a few minutes, contemplating my bad luck and poor planning. I couldn't believe that I had not only missed the Soldierwood in Key Largo, but now I was going to miss these national champions that are on Lignumvitae Key:
- Wild Banyan (Ficus citrifolia)
- Black Ironwood (Krugiodendron ferreum)
- Poisonwood (Metopium toxiferum)
- Darling Plum (Reynosia septentroinalis)
- Torchwood (Amyris elemifera)
- Crabwood (Ateramnus lucidus)
After a quick pity-party and my first taste of succulent mango from John Pennekamp State Park on a channel overlooking the bluest water I've ever seen, I realized that I had nothing to regret on this adventure!
I was doing this bike trip as an adventure, an exploration, a purely relaxing journey through paradise. And what are adventures all about? Being flexible, going with the flow, finding spontaneity in crushed plans. So that's what I did. I still had about 15 miles to go before I needed to be at Long Key State Park to register at my campground there. So I started peddling, slowly south again. I say slowly, because I wasn't in a hurry to get anywhere, instead, I was looking for my next adventure.
I found myself at Bud 'N Mary's Marina on Islamorada, just before the Tea Table Key Channel. The people at Bud 'N Mary's are extremely sweet and helpful folks.
They patiently told me about their snorkeling trips for the day, which would have lasted until about 4:30pm. I was hesitant to go on a trip that was so long, considering I still had about 13 miles to ride to get to my campsite for the night and I wanted to make it before the rangers left and certainly before dark. As I contemplated this idea, I walked outside and to the roof of their covered docks to watch the 5 foot long tarpon roll beneath the pilings. If you've never seen these muscular fish lurking beneath you, let me tell you, it's a sight to be seen. They are so large, yet so graceful that they become mesmerizing. I could watch their massive scales shine and dance in the sunlight for hours. I was still undecided, so I continued on my way.
My next stop was Robbie's Marina on Lower Matecumbe Key, the hub of the ferry that I had planned to take to Lignumvitae Key.
After inquiring again about the snorkeling for the day, I finally decided that I would do it. Sure, the trip got back late, but I knew I could make it to the camp in time, and I really wanted to do something exciting that day. While I waiting for my 3pm snorkeling trip, I had a few beers with the friendly and well informed bartender, Jeff, who also recommended the fish tacos for my lunch. I can still taste the yumminess of those fish tacos! The fresh Mahi Mahi they used on them was so juicy that it was dripping from my chin as I devoured my meal. This marina (like many in the rest of the keys), feeds tarpon from it's docks and attracts a large amount of these huge fish.
The snorkeling trip was amazing!! I saw every color combination, shape, and pattern of fish imaginable, in schools and individually, at about 10 to 30 feet deep, very clear water. The trip was on a large catameran with about 30 people from the Marina. We dove on Alligator Reef, just south of Islamorada. The coral there was beautiful (brain coral, fan coral, and more) but lacked in abundance and appears to be heavily damaged in areas. I also saw a stingray and a 3 foot nurse shark (I chased her and she hid beneath the rocks). The weather remained perfect for my liking; slightly overcast, a nice breeze with 2 foot rolling seas, and perfectly clear water with about 30-40 feet of visibility.
Here is an abbreviated version of the wildlife I saw while snorkeling:
- yellow goatfish
- sergeant major
- stingray
- giant brain coral
- sea whip coral
- sea fan
- christmas tree worm
- orange wall sponge
- queen conch
- queen angelfish
- blue angelfish
- french angelfish (my favorite!)
- blueheaded wrasse
- blue parrotfish
- rainbow parrotfish
- fairy basslet
- rock beauty
- great barracuda
- spotlight parrotfish
- scrawled cowfish
- trunkfish
- spotted trunkfish
- spotted goatfish
- spotfin butterflyfish
- nurse shark

Books can be useful for gaining information on the actual construction of props. Here are a few subjects to try using in SUBJECT searches in the Library Catalogue:
Stage props Stage machinery
Scene painting Theatres -- Stage-setting and scenery
Furniture Interior decoration
Upholstery Antiques
If you are looking for photos and illustrations of buildings, people, objects, etc. of a particular country and time period, also consider books on the culture and social conditions during that time. Try using these subjects in the Library Catalogue:
Social conditions Social life and customs Social history
For example: social conditions and Canada and 19th century
Be sure to check the catalogue record to see if the book contains illustrations. The description field would mention ill as indicated below:
The subject pictorial works is also useful for finding books with photos. For example: New Westminster and pictorial works.
Public libraries serve the information needs of the community in which they are situated and therefore have a wider range of materials than academic libraries do, which support the specific curriculum of the institution. Try searching the catalogues of the Vancouver Public Library and the New Westminster Public Library for books with illustrations.
Also, make use of the public libraries' article databases, which will be more popular in nature and lead you to magazines that contain more visual material.

If you are looking for a new chicken recipe, try this delicious twist on teriyaki chicken. The addition of peanut butter makes this chicken dish absolutely amazing!
Gordon Lum makes his popular Chinese look funn noodles with chicken - look funn is similar to chow fun but it comes in flat sheets and is cut into thin noodles. The texture is a little more tender than chow fun noodles.
I love chicken pot pies and I love the taste of green curry so I thought I would put the two together and came up with this recipe. I used leftover rotisserie chicken for this recipe, but you can use fresh chicken...just cook it longer. I keep it simple using a store-bought crust..you can make your own or even us...
Marinating chicken in coconut milk gives it a moist, tender, juicy result with a slight ginger-coconut flavor. The chili glaze takes it to the next level.
Guava chicken - a great alternative to the typical teriyaki chicken! Amazing recipe for Guava Chicken! Perfect for hibachi on a summer day, picnic or any occassion!

On the outside, Laptop Magazine says the ThinkPad W540 is "made more for function than form," with "a durable glass-fiber reinforced plastic material on the outside and magnesium roll cage on the inside to guard against drops." Notebookcheck notes it leaves a "sturdy impression in general," despite "the typical weak spots" and "some quiet creaking sounds from the palm rest." However, they also note that "one advantage of the case construction is the low weight," which Laptop Magazine says makes it "easy to carry under my shoulder because its weight feels evenly distributed."
However, open the W540's lid and you'll find its strengths aren't as evenly distributed, with some features succeeding while others merely disappoint. You can chalk up one in the "win" column with the display, which features "vivid colors with outstanding image quality" and TweakTown calls it "simply gorgeous." It's no slouch in the performance department either, with a "good score" that TweakTown says proves "that even in a mobile workstation, you can pack serious CPU power."
Unfortunately, when you turn your attention to the input half of the machine, the W540's frustrations are laid bare. At least typing on the keyboard is nice, with TweakTown liking its "good tactile feel," while Laptop Magazine even went so far as to call it "the best of the best." The feel of the touchpad is a completely different story. TweakTown finds it "a little clunky" and Notebookcheck says it "quickly results in frustration because the lower corners do not accept clicks or inputs, respectively." While they note it "requires a lot of patience to use," the frustration it causes is more evident in user reviews, with jxf noting the W540's touchpad is "incredibly finicky, doesn't always recognize right-clicks, and is hard to make precision movements with." Additionally, the "off-center keyboard makes it painful to use for long periods, because you'll have to angle your hands to the left to use the keyboard correctly." Overall, jxf says you'll "feel like you've suddenly become far less productive."
With a gorgeous screen and solid build, the W540 still has a lot of offer road warriors. They just need to be very patient road warriors willing to make a few compromises -- like buying a portable mouse.

Dear St. Christopher School Families,
Any new school year presents many new changes and challenges. I have been offered the opportunity to be St. Christopher School Counselor for the maternity leave for Sarah. We are all excited that she has the blessing to be at home with her new baby boy coming in September. I feel especially excited to be returning to St Christopher's, because I was the previous Counselor. The parents and students warmly welcomed me.
Every Wednesday from 8 am to 3 pm, I will be your Counselor again, but just until Sarah returns. Meanwhile, you can contact me through phoning the main office and leaving a message, or sending an email on the school website. Additionally, please feel free to drop in anytime Wednesday, and I will see you as quickly as possible. Feel free to make an appointment.
I will be working with the Teachers, and Administrators like before for the benefit of your children. Please feel free to consult me about any aspect of learning or testing . I am here to serve you and your children. I am so looking forward to seeing you again.
Many Thanks,
Beverly Winterfeld.
M. Ed in Guidance and Counseling
Another exciting school year is approaching and I would like to introduce myself. My name is Lucy Alcala and I am the new Principal for St. Christopher Catholic School. I am greatly honored to have been chosen to work with you for the spiritual and academic growth of your children. St. Christopher's is a very special place for me and I feel truly blessed to continue to be a part of this wonderful family.
Aside from my appointment as Principal, you will see a few changes to our faculty. First, we would like to welcome three new members to our faculty and staff: Mr. Salvador Romero (School Office Manager), Mrs. Lauren Rusinek (Kindergarten Teacher), and Ms. Vishe Redmund (1st Grade Teacher). We also wish to give a warm welcome back to Mrs. Sara Garcia (4th-8th Science Teacher). We are looking forward to Mr. Romero, Mrs. Rusinek, Ms. Redmund and Mrs. Garcia sharing their skills with our community. We are also happy to announce that Mrs. Ornelas will now be teaching Art, Music and Technology classes. Mrs. Perez will begin the school year on maternity leave and Mrs. Janet Ronan will be the long-term substitute Teacher for our 2nd Grade students.
Finally, I would like to welcome all of our new families to the St. Christopher community. I truly hope this is a wonderful experience for you and your children. We are all very excited to have you join our school family.
I am looking forward to welcoming everyone at the start of this school year. It will be my mission to provide the best educational experience for your children. I am overwhelmed by the kindness you have shown and I am thrilled to be a part of this fantastic community. Please do not hesitate to contact my office if there is anything I can do to help with your child's experience at St. Christopher Catholic School.
The 2018-2019 school year is now 2/3 complete. I think I say this in every letter, but every time I look at the calendar I am amazed at how fast the year goes. I know I haven't written to you since before Christmas, but so much has been happening that I've been trying to keep it straight. I finally have had a little bit of time to sit and process where we are at in the school year.
When we returned from Christmas break, everything seemed to happen fast. Our girls' basketball season started off well. Both teams put in great effort and I am very proud at how they represented our school. While we did not win a trophy this year, there was a great deal of growth and I am very excited for their future.
Basketball was not the only exciting thing that happened on our campus during January. Our faculty and staff completed the writing of our self-study in preparation for our accreditation visit. The self-study was sent to the chair of the team who will visit our school. This was a giant task and I would like to thank everyone involved in writing this. Our faculty put in so much work in preparing this document that I truly believe reflects who we are at St. Christopher Catholic School. Thank you to you, our parents, as well, for your work on the surveys, the time you spend volunteering, and especially for your support while we worked, and still continue to work, together for the growth of our school. I also want to make sure that I thank Cathy Thompson, our Superintendent, for her guidance and support through this process.READ MORE
December and 2018 now comes to a close. As we prepare to depart for Christmas break so we can welcome the birth of Jesus and the New Year, I have begun to reflect on my time here as principal at St. Christopher Catholic School. The truth is, I think when a calendar year is coming to an end we all have a tendency to reflect on our past experiences so we know what the next step is for our future. I find myself reflecting a great deal lately with our impending accreditation visit. The thing I keep realizing is everything we have accomplished over the past two and half years, we have done together, and I thank you for desire to see improvements at St. Chris and for your willingness to take an active part in making those improvements happen.READ MORE
Gobble! Gobble! It is that Thanksgiving season when we take time to reflect on the blessings that we have in our lives. Our family, friends, and those we encounter on a daily basis and give us an opportunity to show kindness and have that goodness in our lives. For me, I am thankful for my wife and daughter, my family in New York, my home, my friends, and, without question, my St. Christopher Family!
The first trimester has been a bit of a whirl wind. First, I would like to congratulate our Varsity soccer team for their Championship! A great job by Coach Villegas and Coach Barnaby for working with this team over the past three years and building such an amazing program. Our Superintendent, Mrs. Thompson, attended the game and was just so happy for our team and coaches. I am so proud to have our school represented so well.
I would also like to announce a change in our counseling program. In September, I applied to Title I for extra counseling days. In October, the state allowed us to increase our counseling days from one to three with the two extra days to be paid for by Title I funds! What a great blessing for our kids! However, with the increase in days, we also had to have a change in our counselor. I am happy to introduce Mrs. Sarah Pecoraro to our St. Christopher family. Sarah is an alumnus of St. Francis de Sales, Bishop Gorman and UNLV. Welcome Mrs. Pecoraro!
As I mentioned in my last letter, this is a very big year for St. Christopher Catholic School. Our accreditation visit is only four months away at this point, so time is moving quickly. We have been hard at work completing our Self-Study so it can be turned in to the chairperson of our visiting team before we leave for Christmas break. At this time, we are working on the timeline for the completion of our goals and our long range plan. What we have completed at this point has been presented to Mrs. Thompson and the School Advisory Board. I will continue to keep you informed monthly.READ MORE
Welcome Back! I long to say those words to all of our St. Christopher students and families as soon as the previous school year ends. Every time we say good-bye for the summer, I am ready for the new year to start so we can continue on the road to success. This is going be such an exciting year for us and for our faith community.
Things started off a little rough this year with some last minute resignations, but I am excited because I believe we have a strong staff and I am truly enjoying what I have seen in the classrooms so far. Please join me in welcoming our new teachers for this school year – Ms. Athena Figueroa in third grade, Mr. William McLain in 4th and 5th grade English, Reading and Religion, Mrs. Ana Saenz our aide in Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades, and welcome back to Mrs. Mary Gorts, who is teaching Middle School Math and Science and Mr. Jason Casper who is teaching 4th and 5th grade Math, Science, and Social Studies. I would also like to welcome our twenty-two new families to St. Chris. I invite all of you to introduce yourselves, even if they are not a part of your child's class, and welcome them to our St. Christopher Catholic School family.READ MORE

AC Milan's ambition to bounce back from their two straight defeats fell short as Rossoneri only grabbed one point from their latest Serie A fixture against Torino.
Keen on recovering from their disappointing home defeat from Napoli, Milan put on an aggressive display against Torino.
Rossoneri's attacking display was not sharp enough though in the first half as they can't break down Toro's defense despite dominating the match.
Milan finally found their break through on 63 minutes from Carlos Bacca's close range finish.
However, that lead only lasted for 10 minutes as Torino managed to draw level through Daniele Baselli's effort.

Art to me is beyond a purely aesthetic appeal or financial value, it is also an immediate feeling and reaction. Since I was a young child, I have been surrounded and inspired by the art that was on the walls of my family home and the creative traditions that have been part of my culture for centuries – mesmerising geometric labyrinth designs, poetic miniature narratives and illuminated spiritual texts, which still inhabit my memories of that long ago era. Memory is one of the most boundless and mysterious states of the human mind that instills in me the sense of infinity and even spirituality. Spirituality, in all its forms, and the sense of infinity that it fosters continues to inspire artists from all over the world. For this curated section, I have chosen works by artists who are in conversation with notions of spirituality and the infinite. Light has been used by countless traditions as a universal symbol of divinity and is also synonymous with infinity.
"I have chosen works by artists who are in conversation with notions of spirituality and the infinite"
James Turell's work not only evokes these notions but is the result of a lifetime of exploration into the qualities and perspectives of light and space.
YZ Kami also explores spirituality in his portraiture and his abstract collage paintings. His series Endless Prayers interweaves scriptures from prayer and poetry into captivating geometric patterns recalling Islamic domes.
Hadieh Shafie's paper scroll paintings represent a reinterpretation of the tradition of calligraphic script and design repetition present in Islamic art. The process of creating her multi-dimensional works is comprised of the layering of thousands of strips of hand-painted and rolled paper and results in a deeply meditative journey for both the artist and the viewer.
Ayad Alkadhi's works on paper from his Hear My Words series feature calligrams of hands as a visual symbol of prayer and spirituality while seamlessly intertwining Arabic spiritual sayings.In many of the works, a sense of an infinite space is produced in an enclosed and finite environment.
Yayoi Kusama's Narcissus Garden, comprised of hundreds of mirrored spheres placed outdoors, is a large-scale installation where viewers see countless reflections of themselves. This piece touches upon the spiritual links that humans have with the earth and, furthermore, with the universe.
Steven Naifeh's inspiration stems from his deep appreciation of Islamic architecture. His Saida works are modular experimentations in which a single simple geometric form is combined to create complex Islamic motifs.
Ran Hwang incorporates Buddhist spirituality in all her works. In her Snowfall of Spiders installation, the weaves of the spider webs are symbolic of the complex cyclical nature of life. Ultimately, the works that I chose reflect aspects of traditions of spirituality and infinity through the lens of contemporary critical thought.
Dilip Chobisa explores the mysteries of human consciousness through the depiction of solitude: he creates multidimensional framed rooms that are starkly empty and that often play with light and perspective.

a1823 J. Ewart Jrnl (1970) 27The Malays form no inconsiderable part of the population of Cape Town. These have been brought at different periods from the Dutch settlements in Java and neighbouring islands. They are a very ingenious people and are the only artificers in the place.
1827 A.J. Jardine Fragment of Church Hist. 34The Malays in Cape Town are said to amount to 3000, and converts are almost daily added.

They were originally Malays, but now they include every shade, from the blackest negro to the most blooming English woman...Emigrant girls have been known to turn 'Malays' and get thereby husbands who know not billiards and brandy — the two diseases of Cape Town.

1953 Drum May 44There are about 30,000 Malays and one million Coloureds.
1973 Cape Times 7 Feb. 10In Cape Town the terms 'Malay' and 'Mohammedan' are often used as synonyms. Strictly speaking, however, 'Malay' refers to that section of the Coloured community in which the descendants of the Eastern Malays are to be found.
1979 'J.C.' in Natal Witness 2 Feb. 11The number of slaves' names examined was 4890, only 0,31 percent of which (16 persons) came from Malaysia. Yet the majority of the slaves were described as Malays. In his summing up Dr Bradlow suggests that they were called Malays for linguistic reasons, the Malay language being the trading medium (like Swahili in East Africa) for a vast geographical area stretching from Madagascar to China.

I am telling ya. They are scared **** less that we make this move. Most of the posters on Panther Talk may be idiots, but I think they know if we make the move, they are toast. Recruits will come to Southern over Ga State if we are both FBS. It will be a much tougher road for them to have a successful program. The fact they are in Atlanta means nothing for recruiting purposes. I am convinced of that and I think they are to. That is why they mention teams that don't have a snow balls chance in hell moving up before us.
Like I said in my post. Their 15 minutes of relevancy will be over if we make the move.

New Information About Kylie Jenner + Tyga's Relationship Just Gives Us More Questions
Relationships aren't easy, especially when you're talking about the super complicated relationship between Kylie Jenner and Tyga. While they face an, er, unusual family situation (ya know, like the fact that Kylie's bae has a child with her brother's ex fiancée and baby-mama), there's also the fact that Jenner is busy with her ever-growing business (new velvety lip kits, FTW!) while Tyga faces continued financial trouble.
That's why despite their penchant for heating things up on social media, it looks like at the moment, Kylie Jenner and Tyga are again on a "break." While some fans might think it was bound to happen sooner or later (just like an eventual reconciliation), here's why new info about Kylie and Tyga's relationship is just giving us more questions about the two.
While 19-year-old Kylie Jenner has been in an on-again/off-again relationship with 27-year-old Tyga for a few years now, which has sparked a lot of controversy, the two eventually became pre-engaged, with Jenner showing off a promise ring given to her by her bae.
But right now, a source has confirmed to People that Kylie and Tyga "tend to take little breaks all the time and then get back together." O rly? Have they been taking more breaks than fans were aware of? The same insider added, "It's definitely possible they'll work things out again." Granted, it's totally possible. But how many times can one couple break up and get back together again?
With deets buzzing around this current break/breakup, we have to wonder if it's perhaps time for the young Jenner to spend a little time on her own.
Do you think Kylie Jenner and Tyga should get back together again or break up for good? Let us know @BritandCo!

Hacking in the movies looks so cool. Someone with a keyboard and five screens frantically types in some code, and a few seconds later: "I'm in." That's it– they now have all the information they need to access nuclear missile codes, blackmail a billionaire, or completely shut down a building's security system.
If that's how things worked in real life, the world would always be on the edge of apocalypse. None of our data stored online would be safe, and we'd be constantly held for ransom by cyber terrorists. So, why does Hollywood paint a picture of flimsy security systems so easily infiltrated by bad guys who want to ruin our lives and bring down governments? More importantly, do the movies actually get any of it right?
The Target
Most hackers are not trying to break into the White House or Homeland Security (although it has happened in the past). Anyone who has a games console, Netflix account, or even just an email address knows that data security breaches regularly happen on a very small scale, more to cause a nuisance than anything else. As a result, both businesses and internet users have had to improve security over the years.
The requirements for passwords are now more complicated than ever, and we all know the risks of using the same one twice. Still, breaches continue to happen regularly at a consumer level. This isn't something that's been explored much in film, presumably because it's such an ordinary occurrence, like paying bills and getting the bus, and the stakes are perhaps a bit too low for a blockbuster. Audiences, indeed, probably wouldn't be interested in reliving such events in cinemas.
If you look at some of the most infamous security breaches of the past decade, most of them involve private customer data; and yet, the average person does not lose money in these large-scale cyber-attacks. In fact, most of the money companies lose in a data breach comes as a result of legal expenses and loss of customers, rather than from the attacks themselves.
Another thing to note is that, in a lot of films, the breach takes place on location. Not only does the attacker need to get into a computer system, they first have to get past physical security by entering the building where the server is held. Again, this is generally unrealistic, as most attacks take place remotely. This is because buildings which house secure servers have numerous barriers in place to prevent unauthorized people from entering. They are also checked too regularly for anyone to be able to spend enough time there, as hacking is not a 30-second job.
The Hacker
In the movies, the hacker usually takes one of two forms: a Robin Hood figure or a criminal mastermind. Their motives are clearly defined, and they often lay out their plans to the audience. Unfortunately, when cyber security attacks really take place in real life, we don't always hear from the perpetrators and we might never know what their true goals were.
Movies would be less exciting if, instead of being played by a cunning Chris Hemsworth-type, cyber criminals were all shown to be people like systems administrator Gary McKinnon. McKinnon made headlines in 2002 for hacking into NASA in search of UFO evidence and spent a decade fighting extradition to the US. He is now permitted to work with computers again.
Aside from being incredibly adept with computers, there isn't much to set McKinnon apart from the average person. He claimed not to have any malevolent intentions when he committed the hacking, and he did not serve prison time as a result. Though it's an interesting story to hear, it would be hard to turn it into something cinematic.
Most of the time, the real hacking isn't done by a person at all; it's done by a computer program someone has set up to run. Why? Because, even for a computer, hacking can take hours, or even days. Would you watch a 14-hour long Mission Impossible film with no guns and no action and just a computer screen? Probably not.
Getting In – How it Really Works
A lot of the time, hacking attempts fail, and not just for dramatic cinematic effect. Real security systems are more robust than Hollywood would have you believe, and most security breaches get thwarted by multiple layers of complex security measures, with encryption being one of the most popular and most difficult to circumvent.
Encryption is a cool concept and an effective security measure, but it's not very exciting to see in action. The easiest way for a hacker to get around encryption is to have the key, which would make it as simple as entering a password.
We have seen this in films in the past, with a bit of story as to how the key came into the terrorist's hands, and those cases are often fairly close to reality.
It's less common—though still sometimes effective—for a hacker to set up a program that will enter every possible decryption key until it finds the right one. Expensive high-level security systems have safeguards against this type of attack, and although it could work for something smaller and less secure, the time it would take would most likely not be worth the reward.
Final Thoughts
The reality of cyber security is difficult to make visually exciting, but with so much of our lives now stored digitally, filmmakers will continue to explore this topic. Ultimately, a film doesn't need to be realistic to be enjoyable.

The fabulous Pablo Laguia is in such high demand this gorgeous couple booked him for their stylish destination wedding in Marrakech. And as expected the captures are simply jaw dropping.
Not only is the Ksar Char Bagh location absolutely immense, but so are all the fashion and florals. I mean just look at the bridal party images with the bridesmaids in forest green multiway dresses , and how exquisite is the lace detail of bride Sophie's Olvis gown from TeoKath boutique. Very!
You are also going to be falling over yourself when you see the romantic pictures of the couple in the dessert. I feel like we are intruding on a very private moment, but I can't look away. So dreamy.
Pablo Laguia the Photographer: The couple are from London and the wedding took place in Ksar Char Bagh in Marrakech. The ceremony was on the central patio of the Palace and the cocktail was outdoor in the vegetable garden. The day after the wedding they had a swimming pool party and we went with the couple to take pictures on the Palmerie and the zooks of Marrakech. Hope you like it!

New Delhi: He was once rejected by All India Radio for his rich baritone, something which would ironically become Bollywood Shahenshah Amitabh Bachchan's signature of superstardom in the years to come. The megastar made his film debut in 1969 as a voice narrator in Mrinal Sen's National Award-winning film "Bhuvan Shome" and since then there was no turning back for him — as an actor, singer and, in later years, an anchor.
Big B's entry into the world of singing happened by chance, as an actor who was required to exercise his vocal chords for the first time in a song of the 1979 film "Mr. Natwarlal". The song, "Mere paas aao", was more about the hero sonorously narrating a story to kids at a camping trip in the jungle, and it didn't require him to really exercise any serious crooning skills.
Incidentally, before he made his mark as a successful singer, Amitabh Bachchan had already carved his niche as a narrator. Celebrated film director Satyajit Ray was so impressed with his voice that he decided to use Big B as the narrator of his 1977 film "Shatranj Ke Khilari".
Bachchan's real coming of age as a singer happened with "Silsila" in 1981. The Holi number Rang barse" would go onto become an anthem. Big B also sang "Neela aasman so gaya" in the film, besides rendering soothing poetry – "Main aur mere tanhai aksar yeh baatein karte hain" – with Lata Mangeshkar's rendition of "Yeh kahaan aa gaye hum" in the film.
There have been many more blockbuster songs sung by Big B over the nearly four decades since 'Silsila released. We list a handful that makes it to the Top List, and tell you why these numbers have stood the test of time:
* MERE PAAS AAO ("Mr Natwarlal")
In this 1979 film, Big B flaunted his vocal prowess in a situation where his character, a teacher, tells a story to children he has accompanied to a camping trip. The music was composed by Rajesh Roshan and the lyrics were written by Anand Bakshi.
* RANG BARSE ("Silsila")
This song has stood the test of time as probably the most popular Bollywood Holi number. The track was in the 1981 film was picturised on Rekha, Big B and Jaya Bachchan. The lyrics were penned by Big B's father and legendary poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan and the song was composed by Shiv-Hari.
* NEELA AASMAN SO GAYA ("Silsila")
Javed Akhtar's poetry was brought alive by Amitabh Bachchan's rich voice, on the beats of Shiv-Hari's music in the Yash Chopra romance. The song utilises Big B's voice quality well, to bring out the pain of separation.
* MERE ANGANE MEIN ("Laawaris")
This is a famous number not just because it was sung by Big B but also because the icon dressed up as a woman for the dance. Composed by Kalyanji Anandji and written by Anjaan, it is still popular even after 37 years of its release.
* GENIE RAP ("Aladin")
The megastar tried rapping with aplomb in the 2009 fantasy-adventure film directed by Sujoy Ghosh. The song was picturised on actors Riteish Deshmukh and Big B.
* HORI KHELE RAGHUVEERA ("Baghban")
Another Holi song sung by Big B that became hugely popular in its time, when the film released in 2003. The number stars Bachchan alongside Hema Malini. The music director was Aadesh Shrivastava and Sameer penned the song.
* MAIN YAHAN TU WAHAN ("Baghban")
The emotional track was composed by Aadesh Shrivastava and written by Sameer. The number poignantly put forth the pain of separation that the characters of Big B and Hema Malini undergo in the film. It remains one of the most mellifluous numbers the superstar has ever sung.
* EKLA CHOLO RE ("Kahaani")
It was a tribute of sorts paid to noble laureate Rabindranath Tagore by Amitabh Bachchan.
The megastar sang the entire number in Bengali. Composer duo Vishal and Shekhar recreated Tagore's tune for the new version.
* CHALO JANE DO ("Bhoothnath")
Starring as a friendly ghost haunting a mansion, Bachchan befriends a child. The song describes their relationship — at times they fight and at other times they make up. Actress Juhi Chawla shared the mic with Big B for this song.
* ATRANGI YAARI ("Wazir")
A song talking about friendship, was sung by Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akhtar, who also starred in the film. Rochak Kohli composed the music for this with lyrics by Deepak Ramola.

Has anyone else experienced that the one cared for is often very cold, or "feels" the cold. I know this summer will not go done as one of the better ones but Susan shivers nearly all the time, especially morning / evening. I have to put fan heaters on in the morning for washing and dressing and again in the evening. People may think I have over dresssed her at times. Bra, t-shirt, long sleeve warm top, and even a coat when we go out. I will add that she does look (goosebumps) and feels colder than I remember her in the "good ol' days". I am begining to dread winter coming on. (I don't mind winter by-the-way, it is just another season) Wondering how she will cope with the colder days. I can only turn the heat up so far. It may be her medication I guess.
