I hope you read it and enjoy both, the poem and the beautiful artwork John C. Mannone has made for it. 🌼
The Girl Aquarium is Jen Campbell's debut poetry collection. I've read her short stories collection "The Beginning of The World in the Middle of the Night" and I've loved it so, naturally, I was very excited about this book. (more…)
I decided that it was time to start writing reviews. The main reason for this is because I suck at it, so what better way to better yourself at something than jump right into it.
I'll start with a book I read at the end of last year and I liked very very very much.
Prime Meridian by Silvia Moreno-Garcia.
A month ago we thought spring was just around the corner, my flowers started to blossom, the sun was shining, the weather was finally warmer and then April decided it was time for rain. Rain. So much rain. All the rain. And wind of course. In Athens this month, we ended up having six hours of winter and six hours of spring.
NaNoWriMo ended a week ago and I, actually, managed to achieve my goal! Which was: make progress on the story I've been putting off for almost two years.
This might be a fall book tag, but it's winter here in Athens. It's been raining for two days straight, there are sharp winds and lots of cold. I hope, during the next week we get our fall back. Nevertheless, this is a great excuse for fluffy socks, hot beverages and kitty cuddles!
The whole summer was a dry spell for my writing and my reading but as September uncurled and I came back from vacation everything felt a little better, a little brighter. This why when I saw yesterday this tag at Adventures of a Book Reader, (which was created by Tall Tales) I thought it would be a cozy way to sneak my way back into blogging. What better way of diving into reading again than remembering what makes you love books in the first place?
Let's talk books 🙂

Seasiders win derby

Fakenham Reserves 0, Wells Town 3
THE Seasiders travelled the short distance to Clipbush Park to finish their season.
As early as the fourth minute Wells broke the deadlock when Grocott's accurate pass found Murfit, who turned and fired home past Bottomley.
Two minutes later Murfit added his and Wells' second when he collected another good through ball, this time from McCallum.
McCallum had the home keeper saving a fierce long drive as the visitors were looking dangerous.
Fakenham's Stockdale tried a long-range effort that flew wide of Fulford's upright and on the half-hour mark Murfit rattled the home bar. Minutes before the interval Cooper made a crucial tackle as Deighten found space.
Minutes into the second half Wells lost Cawston with a broken finger. They added a third when Griffin's free-kick was punched into the goal by Bottomley. Mills shot over when well placed with Macnab-Grieve also going close.
Cromer Reserves 3, Wells Reserves 0
WELLS Reserves made the mid-week trip to Cromer and gave a spirited performance.
At 1-0 down at the interval, with both Page and Stewart going close, the hosts added two further goals to take the spoils.
Wells Reserves 3, Loddon Reserves 0
THE Seasiders secured a good win. They started brightly and went ahead when Wick won the ball inside the Wells half and caught sight of the keeper well off his line and volleyed home from 55 yards.
Just before half-time Wells added a second when Somerton travelled goal bound and curled the ball home from distance.
A good four-man move saw Palmer heading home Wells third and the points secured.
Wells Reserves' last fixture is on Saturday at home to Easton at 2.30pm.
Wells U11s welcomed Reffly to the Beach Road for their final game of the season and won 1-0.
Playing against the unbeaten Reffly, Wells knew they had to be at their best to get anything out of this tough encounter. Straight from the start both teams went for it, playing at a fast pace. Both teams' defences were well on top, Luke was being kept quiet.
Adam dealt with everything thrown at him, Harry and the outstanding Fletcher kept their forwards quiet.
The second half started as the first with end to end play, the Wells midfield of Jack, Dion and Brady starting to take control. Good link-up play allowed Jack to finish in style.
A fine all-round performance gave Wells an outside chance of winning the league. On the down side, a very sad day as this was the team's last league game together. A special thank you to the management of Phlis and Ian and referees Scottie and Suzie.
Team: Adam, Harry, Fletcher, Dion, Jack, Brady, Luke and Joe R.

- Simple to use – one button activation
- Improved medication dosing – crush, mix & serve from same cup
- Finer powder – easier swallowing, avoid swallowing chunks
I have had a few jejunostomy tubes over the years and I've used various types of pestles and mortars (with stainless steel being the best) as well as twist crushers (which leave a lot to be desired) with mixed results. Due to joint issues I could no longer crush my medications that way. This machine has made my life so much easier. Since this was purchased, I no longer get clogs in my tube - a frustrating experience that used to happen regularly with the pestle and mortar, and has led to more than a few damaged tubes. I cannot express how grateful I am to have this product. To get a really, really fine powder the pills (especially if they have a coating) may need to be run through the machine more than once, but the resulting powder makes administering the medication a breeze.
This machine is awesome! It will help my elderly mother crush my dad's medicine. She has arthritis in her hands and he has a feeding tube. I was amazed at how well it worked.
I love this pill crusher. It's simply one of the best investments I've made. My son is tube fed and this product has saved my hands and wrists as well as perfectly crushing medicines for his tube. No more wrist and hand pain for me and no more clogs for his tube!!!!

C-peptide (connecting peptide) connects alpha and beta chains of proinsulin, which are formed in the endoplasmic reticulum following the removal of the signal peptide of pre-proinsulin. It is secreted from the beta cells of islets of Langerhans of the endocrine pancreas when proinsulin is cleaved into insulin and C-peptide. It plays an important role in the correct folding of insulin and the formation of disulfide bridges. C-peptide is removed in the Golgi apparatus from proinsulin resulting in the formation of the mature insulin molecule with both alpha and beta chains bound together by disulfide bonds.[1] Both insulin and C-peptide are stored in secretory vesicles and released in equimolar concentrations upon stimulation of beta cells by glucose and other secretagogues.[2] The most important indications for measurement of C-peptide levels include the differential diagnosis of fasting hypoglycemia with hyperinsulinism and as a measure of insulin secretory reserve. This brief review covers the relevant biochemistry, measurement, and clinical indications.
Once secreted, both insulin and C-peptide are routed through the liver. In the liver, insulin binds to its receptors and initiates glucose uptake, inhibits gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis, and ketogenesis and is degraded within 5 to 10 minutes. C-peptide, on the other hand, has limited degradation in the liver and is degraded by the kidneys. Hence, the half-life of C-peptide is around 30 to 35 minutes. As a result, although both insulin and C-peptide are secreted in equimolar concentrations, the molar ratio of circulating insulin to C-peptide is less than 1. Several studies have shown that C-peptide can bind to the cell membranes and could exert biological effects; however, a specific receptor has not been identified, and this is described later.
The normal physiological C-peptide plasma concentration in a fasted state is 0.9 to 1.8 ng/ml.[1] A high level could indicate insulin resistance, insulinoma, or kidney disease. A low C-peptide is usually present in patients with type 1, or sometimes, type 2 diabetes.
C-peptide is a 31-amino acid polypeptide and is negatively charged. In mammals, the 8 residues (positions 1, 3, 6, 11, 12, 21, 27, and 31) are conserved, and the C-terminal pentapeptide has been shown to interact with the cell membrane and elicit signaling pathways.[3] Although the exact mechanism of binding is not known, the binding characteristics and the intracellular effects could be modified by pertussis toxin, suggesting that the G-protein coupled receptors might be involved.[4] The binding of C-peptide was shown to elevate the intracellular calcium levels. It also can induce phospholipase C, protein kinase C isoforms, Rho A, and p38 MAPK in renal tubular cells and fibroblasts.[5] Activation of the PI3 kinase, Akt, and PPAR-gamma is also observed in fibroblasts, myoblasts, renal tubular cells, and lymphocytes.[6] In endothelial cells, C-peptide was shown to induce nitric oxide release by enhancing the expression of eNOS mRNA and protein in aortic endothelial cells. It was also shown to stimulate Na, K-ATPase in renal tubular cells in vitro.[5]
C-peptide was also shown to possess several anti-inflammatory, cytoprotective, and anti-apoptotic effects in various cell types. Under physiological conditions, C-peptide was shown to inhibit the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) via RAC1-mediated inhibition of NAD(P)H oxidase in endothelial cells of streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic mice.[7] C-peptide could inhibit ROS-mediated activation of transglutaminase 2, thereby inhibiting apoptosis. It also exerted the anti-apoptotic effect by inhibiting caspase 3 activation and enhancing the anti-apoptotic protein, BCL-2 in endothelial cells and neuroblastoma cells. C-peptide was also shown to inhibit the inflammatory pathway by the downregulation of NF-kB. It was also shown that C-peptide could decrease the expression of high glucose-induced ICAM, VCAM, and P-selectin.[8] High glucose-induced, vascular, smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration may be inhibited by the presence of C-peptide, thereby causing the inhibition of atherosclerotic lesion formation.[9] There is considerable interest in the biology of C-peptide, its elusive receptor, and biological effects in humans. However, this body of data is largely experimental and needs much further research in the clinical area to gain mainstream support.
As C-peptide is released in the circulation along with insulin, it has widely been used as a measure of insulin secretion to assess the pancreatic beta-cell function.[10] It also has the advantage of bypassing clearance by the liver, unlike insulin, and hence, has a much longer half-life of around 30 minutes. The plasma concentration of C-peptide in a fasted state is 0.9 to 1.8 ng/ml, and the postprandial levels are 3 to 9 ng/m in healthy individuals.[1] The higher levels are observed in overweight individuals. C-peptide is catabolized in the kidneys, and only a small fraction is excreted in the urine. Modern ultrasensitive C-peptide immunoassays can detect plasma levels as low as 0.0045 to 0.0075 ng/ml. The presence of increased titers of anti-insulin antibodies that bind to both proinsulin and C-peptide could give false-positive results. Urinary C-peptide (UCP) measurement is a non-invasive test, and the urine can be collected in boric acid, where UCP is stable at room temperature for up to 3 days. With normal urinary function, the UCP excretion is reflective of 5% to 10% of total C-peptide secreted by the pancreas.[11]
Since C-peptide is a polypeptide and less stable due to its susceptibility to enzymatic proteolytic cleavage, the serum C-peptide measurements should be done immediately after the sample collection. Hence, gel tubes are required to collect samples on ice to transport the sample to the laboratory. The samples should be immediately centrifuged and stored under frozen conditions until the estimation is done. However, EDTA-prepared tubes can be used for plasma C-peptide determination, which increases its stability at room temperature for up to 24 hours, and hence, plasma is the preferred sample.[12]
The plasma C-peptide levels can be measured in random, fasting (8 to 10 hours) or stimulated state. Random non-fasting sampling (rCP) is the easiest method to test C-peptide (fCP) levels. The rCP has been shown to correlate with 90-minute mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT) C-peptide responses. The stimulation can be done using glucagon, intravenous/oral glucose, tolbutamide, sulfonylurea, and glucagon-like peptide 1, amino acids, or a mixed meal. Glucagon stimulation test (GST) is the most widely used test due to its high sensitivity in detecting residual insulin secretion using a dose of 1.0 mg. C-peptide can also be measured using the oral glucose tolerance test (75 g, OGTT) where the samples are collected at 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes.[13] This test significantly correlates with insulin secretion in type 2 diabetes patients. Both MMTT and GST provide sensitive and reproducible results for residual beta-cell function in type 1 diabetes with peak responses seen at 90 and 6 minutes, respectively.[14] Although the C-peptide levels are useful to classify diabetes, it always must be interpreted in the clinical context of disease duration, comorbidities, and family history. However, it is still a very valid measure in clinical research studies.
The 2 major indications for measuring C-peptide levels include fasting hypoglycemia and assessment of insulin secretory reserve in patients with diabetes. In patients with fasting hypoglycemia with concomitant hyperinsulinism, one needs to entertain a differential diagnosis comprising insulinoma, exogenous insulin administration (factitious), sulfonylurea therapy (factitious), insulin autoimmune syndrome due to endogenous anti-insulin antibodies (Hirata disease).[15] All of these conditions can result in hypoglycemia with elevated insulin levels. A C-peptide level is very useful in the differential diagnosis since it is only elevated with a beta cell tumor, insulinoma, and sulfonylurea therapy. A sulfonylurea drug screen can exclude the latter. C-peptide is not elevated with Hirata disease, which is confirmed by positive anti-insulin antibodies and is decreased with factious, exogenous insulin therapy. Hence, it is a very important test in the workup of fasting hypoglycemia with hyperinsulinism.
The other major indication is the assessment of insulin secretory reserve in patients with diabetes. Diabetes mellitus is characterized by hyperglycemia due to the lack of insulin secretion and/or insulin action. Insulin deficiency is associated with C-peptide-deficiency in type 1 diabetes due to beta-cell demise. A fasting C-peptide level of less than 0.6 ng/ml is consistent with beta-cell failure and predicts the requirement for insulin therapy. Although the origins of type 2 diabetes are insulin resistance, it only manifests clinically when there is beta-cell failure resulting in impaired insulin and C-peptide secretion culminating in fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia. Much more research is needed to define the biology of C-peptide and potential role in the pathogenesis of diabetic microvascular complications or as a novel therapeutic agent.
Also, Medicare uses a C-peptide assessment of insulin reserve as a criterion for continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy (insulin pump therapy).
C-peptide is secreted in equimolar concentrations with insulin from the beta cells.
It is a valid measure of insulin secretion especially following challenges with glucagon or a mixed meal.
C-peptide is extremely useful in the differential diagnosis of hyperinsulinemic-hypoglycemia.

Money makers: Success on the bounce
When a twisted knee scuppered Greg Cox's plans to play rugby for Wasps, he set his sights on becoming a fintech entrepreneur.
A twisted knee in 1999 put paid to Greg Cox's dreams of playing professional rugby for Wasps, says the BBC's Will Smale. After a brief stint as a bricklayer, Cox, now 36, began importing cars from mainland Europe, which were up to 20% cheaper than in Britain. Business boomed at his company, Coszt Imports, "despite the terrible name", says Cox.
But then, in 2001, the dotcom bubble burst, the pound fell and the business went bust. Licking his wounds, Cox moved to South Africa, and resumed importing cars to Britain. By 2008, Cox was back in the UK and investing in the fintech sector. Then, in early 2009, he got together with his friend and business partner, Paul Naden, and they launched Quint Group, with each investing £12,500.
The company owns several consumer finance websites, including online loans marketplace Monevo. Cox bought out Naden last year, and today, he owns 90% of Quint, and the business turns over £42m a year. While it hasn't all been plain sailing, "I think I have always been entrepreneurial", says Cox. "Focus on what you are good at, work relentlessly at it, make considered decisions, don't be too emotive, and with a bit of luck you'll have some success."
Food business slims down to grow profit
Ben Jackson left a well-paid job nine years ago to spend more time with his children, says James Hurley in The Times. "The hours were insane," says Jackson, 40. "I knew I had to set up my own business so I could control my own time." He started running Capsicana, a Latin American food company, from home, selling a broad range of products to independent shops. But it wasn't very profitable.
"You think, I'll grow revenue by adding another product line'", says Jackson. "Before I knew it, I had 35 product lines to manage and the working capital was going the wrong way... I was working every hour I could and I couldn't see a way to grow."
So, he slimmed the line down to four cooking sauces and partnered with a big manufacturer. Amazon-owned Whole Foods began stocking the range, which led to deals with Waitrose and Sainsbury's. Capsicana is working towards turnover of £900,000 this year, and has raised £450,000 in investment, including from New Covent Garden Soup founder John Stapleton. Says Jackson: "Running a small business is about continuous improvement."
A digital textbook case of refusing to give up
Camilla Hessellund Lastein's first attempt to launch Lix, a platform for digital textbooks, ended in disaster, the 24-year-old Dane tells Hazel Sheffield in The Independent. She dropped out of university, took savings from a full-time office job, and part-time waitressing, and got a £20,000 bank loan. She invested it all into her idea and went bust within a year. The firm she had commissioned to build her first digital platform invoiced for all the cash she had, and left her with a PowerPoint presentation.
"They took advantage of me", says Hessellund Lastein. Her mother, an entrepreneur, told her to learn from it. She soon met her new co-founder, Kasper Krog. They assembled a team of developers and got Lix 2.0 off the ground. Three years on, Lix has raised $7.5m in funding. The platform hosts 7,000 publishers, including Pearson and McGraw-Hill. The media goes on about what young people are worth, says Hessellund Lastein, but "people don't understand how much work this takes".
No more inky fingers for music fans
"Nirvana. You probably barely recognise the name, but by the time this page is ink on your fingertips, Nirvana will have sold 1,000,000 copies of their new LP." That's how I opened a cover story I wrote for the NME, on 23 November 1991, says Mary Anne Hobbs in The New York Times. Alas, "there will be no more inky fingers for NME's readers". Last week, the New Musical Express, "Britain's most important music newspaper and a taste maker on both sides of the Atlantic", put out its last print edition after 66 years.
For decades, NME was a "cultural bible for teenagers and had clout that could propel rock, punk and indie bands into the charts with front cover features", say Nic Fildes and Federica Cocco in the Financial Times. But from the 1990s, its influence waned with the rise of online and specialist titles. Circulation fell to 15,000 a week; rivals Melody Maker and Sounds had already succumbed. Now, private-equity firm Epiris, which bought NME's parent company, media group Time, last month, for £130m, has decided to stop the presses.
The closure of the print edition of NME (it will continue online) "is the latest warning sign that the shift to digital media is threatening to kill the British love affair with print magazines", says Mark Sweney in The Guardian. Sales of the top 100 titles have fallen by 55% since 2000 to just 13.9 million. Similarly, print advertising will have fallen from £512m in 2010 to £250m by the year-end, and digital advertising is failing to fill the void. Music magazines, such as NME, have been driven online. Now they face a fight to exist even there.

How to communicate with my friends in LINE?
First install the application on your phone then register for an account using your phone number. You need to have an active SMS plan because an SMS code will be sent to your number. If the activation is successful, LINE will display all the contacts that use LINE as well. Tap on the found friends and you will have the possibility to chat with them. A working Internet service is required because it is an Internet-based application.

I've developed a Chrome extension that I plan to publish to the Chrome Web Store.
On the server side, I've implemented OAuth 2 (using access tokens and refresh tokens) with support for generation of application ID and secrets (similar to how Facebook does it) that is exposed via a private API.
The extension has an application ID embedded inside it along with an application secret that it will first use to request for an access token. I use the application ID to ensure the request is coming from my chrome extension and not elsewhere. Of course, I do understand this can be spoofed, so, I do have rate limiting in place.
But, I was wondering, how do I actually secure my API in this case? In particular, if my application secrets can be easily reverse engineered from the chrome extension. And are there still any benefits to having a refresh token mechanism in place?
How do popular companies achieve this?
Thank you

Do you keep reading the same article, forgetting about it, and reading it again, or have you stumbled into the swirling cloud of marijuana politics that every politician, government official, and journalists seem to be inhaling (except for Bill Clinton of course). In the online version of the Ottawa Citizen politics section, I have counted more than three articles revolving around the intoxicating topic. Whether it's Health Canada moving away from any endorsements of Medical Marijuana (say goodbye to getting high brought to you by the government), Justin Trudeau clarifying his position on the drug as a real politician (seriously guys I am, I swear, ask my dad), or doctors pulling out of the Harper government's new anti-drug ads ("Marijuana sucks and so does Trudeau" isn't really a medical position), it seems that weed is the one topic that is bringing everyone into the drum circle. Why?
Pot, it seems, is a polarizing plant. Though traditionally known for bringing people together regardless of race, creed, class, or high school popularity, it is currently separating Canadians. The political parties are trying to take advantage of this supposed rift by drafting teams. Conservative parties will be supporting the Conservative party, and all others will have shirts matching their eyes. But is the issue as segregating as political strategists appear to believe? And does it really split the parties so perfectly?
Yes, generally (and I eternally stress that word), those who vote conservative don't support cannabis legalization, and vice versa in the Liberal's case (with perhaps even less accuracy), but that isn't enough to draw political lines. Where one sits on the political spectrum comes from much more than one's views on the drug. Libertarians, right-voting, of course, do not support its prohibition; caring leftists don't want it slipping into the hands of children. And, let's not forget, political strategists aren't as stupid as we like to believe they are. In fact, they are generally (once again I stress that) pretty wily bastards.
With that in mind, I believe the party's master tacticians are not trying to split Canada on traditional political lines, but based on their age. Young people generally (see a trend here?) vote more left than their parents do (or don't care enough about something they can't instagram right afterwards), but even more generally support marijuana legalization. The older do the opposite (not to mention that they are more likely to mention it on Facebook than instagram). Therefore, after all of this seemingly in-depth analysis we have come to the conclusion that Stephen Harper may have young votes taken by Justin Trudeau. What a bombshell that is. I actually have another prediction.
If this marijuana slop fight snowballs into something these two parties believe can define the coming election, voters may lose track of what they really stand for, other than one for parents and the other for kids. And if the NDP manages to keep their hands clean of the whole business, they may end up campaigning as the only party talking about issues that truly define their political mantra, rather than their theoretical political demographic.

These corrugated crash barriers are salvaged from motorway contracts. They are 12″ deep, and the overall length is 3.5m but once they are overlapped to be joined or indeed a post is placed directly behind where they join their effective length is 3.2m.
They have a multitude of uses, some of which include cattle penning, retaining walls, storage bunkers, and general protection around the farm. In the industrial / domestic market they have many uses for traffic segregation, car parking and retaining walls.

Why did the Ukraine secret service delete the photo of BUK with missile missing from their website?
Something very strange is going on with a photo of a BUK on a lowloader. The BUK is missing a missile and is believed to the heading towards Russiea (according SBU). The video is said to be made in Luhansk.
While a still of this video was shown during an Ukraine secret service (SBU) press conference as well as on the SBU website, the still was deleted from the website for unknown reasons a few days later.
Doubt about video
I earlier blogged about this video. There are a lot of doubts about the authenticity of the video. See this blog for an overview.
Arnold Greidanus also wrote a blog with doubts on the BUK video in Luhansk.
The photo on the Avakov Facebook site
The first appearance of the video was on the Facebook site of Ukraine's Interior Minister Arsen Avakov. The video was published at July 18, 2014.
The next day, July 19, SBU held a briefing on MH17 where it presented several photographs (including Buk 312 which belonged to the Ukraine army) and a still from Avakov's video. The same day SBU published a report on MH17 on their website. The report contained the same photographs and the still from the video that had been presented at the briefing. The text of the report repeated the statements made by the SBU official Vitaly Naida at the briefing.
The video recording of the briefing can be seen here. At aroud 4:45 Nayda explains that the BUK is missing one of the missiles.
This is a link to one of Ukrainian numerous media reports (in Russian) on the SBU briefing of 19 July. The image clearly shows a still of the BUK on trailer missing one missile.
According to the statements made by SBU's Vitaly Naida at the briefing, on 18 July, at 2 am, two trucks with Buk launchers crossed the border from Ukraine into Russia. One launcher had four missiles , while the other had three missiles. At 4 am, three more trucks crossed the border: one was empty, the other had a Buk launcher with four missiles and the third had a control unit.
The other image is a snapshot made by Webarchive.org of the SBU website at July 23 2014. The website clearly shows the two BUKs on the lower end of the page.
Adjustments made by SBU
However, a few days later (probably somewhere 24-25 July), SBU updated the 19 July report. They deleted the photograph of Buk 312 and the still from Avakov's video. Also, they revised the text.
The current website of the SBU does not show the photos of the Ukraine BUK 312 and the BUK missing one of the missiles.
Several revisions were made to the text. For instance, the revised report says: "At 2:00, July 18, two movers each with a Buk missile launcher crossed the Russian border in Luhansk region. At 4:00, another three movers: one of them empty, other carrying a launcher with four missiles and the latter allegedly with a control unit, crossed the state border".
No mention of a Buk launcher with three missiles!

Hey!! guys really sorry for late updates and thanx for commenting Aayu, Pari,Rhea, Zoya, Waiting , Update (wants to know your real names), Simon…. ans silent readers please comment. and share your thoughts about this ff.
"Beee.cauuss.ee…." and i was interrupted by the cheerful voice of krystal. who had brought some healthy food for me that also what i like… 'little weird ..how she knows that what i like…' i thought to myself.
lisa pov ends………………………..
I suddenly turned to krystal….she can hear our talks from hall also… that means she knows lisa was about to tell us something very important about her, then why she interrupted us. she had never did that. though, she sounded cheerful i know that their is something fishy.
"what happen krystal?….. why you had interrupted us?….is everything okayy?….. you knows that i dont like interruption then why did you?…….what happened tell me… i know something had happened….tell me?" i said in frustration, concerned, angry too.. that i couldnt hear her, and tensed too for krystal. so many mixed emotions i have. " tell me dammit?" i again asked her in my mind.
"broo!!.. its an… emergency…. A message from Queen Aana." she said in thoughts by taking takes as if she had runned from somewhere very fast. it surprised me that mom had send a message for me at 8 pm and how did krystal got the message…. and and and why she was running so fast…. did anyone has seen her?… a lot of questions were running in my mind with the speed of light.
" bro .. bro.. bro.. you take a breath please i, i cant answer this much question answers at in instants." she said me in thoughts.
" like seriously, you are telling me to take breath, first you take it and explain me" i said to her in thoughts.
" I had to explain everything here only, you come in the garden i will explain you there, lisa is looking us." i said in thoughts to my stupid brother.
"you said me stupid" i angrily said her in thoughts.
" dont start again bro….their is much more important things to do now." she said like seriously she said me this…….she always start and blames me only.
" Oohh..no! i forgot to bring water for you lisa, you start eating i will bring water for you". she said to lisa. she excused herself so smartly.
" because i am smart bro…" she said me in proudness of her childish excuse.
" i have to make a call, catch you in couple of seconds." i also made a excuse and went in the garden where princess was waiting for me.
"what happen explain me clearly?" i said to krystal.
"brooo………listen me and dont say a word in between………….I thought that its been 5 hours lisa didnt eaten anything…. and as she is very week i thought that i will go and bring some food for lisa. when i was returning home i heard the ultrasounds of vampire which they were sending in the bat form that, " Queen Anna is calling you Prince Lucus………..its an emergency". and then i sensed the vamps too.. thank to that medicine that you given me to drink yesterday and thank to moon goddness that i drank it today so… they couldnt sense me. but they can see me and if they see me they will understand that i am a dhampire. so, i runned from their very fast as could I. and finally reached at are place, without being noticeable." she explained me her side.
" what a fool you are, if they had seen you they would have got to know that you are alive krystal…., it was so risky … and how you are so sure about it that they didnt saw you." i said in concerned fearful angry ..
" ohh godd…why vampire has this much mixed emotions ….. some times they have emotions in dozen and sometimes nothing like nothing at all… you just ignore every single thing……….."she said me or i can say she was taunting me.
"what you mean to say….and ignoring is also a emotion. and whatever you are telling me about my emotions towards lisa is nothing like nothing". i tried to clear my thoughts to her, but like always, all in vain.
"dont try to fool me bro… that passionate hug told me everything" she said in taunting way by stressing on the word passionate hug.
"dont try to change the topic krystal, you are careless, due to my powers you are just safe on this place in the world, and becarefull everytime. vamps cant see this house and this place so, you are safe here and i cant risk your safety." i tried to change the topic and as well as instructed her also.
"i know bro…!! but , bro i think you have to go now to vamp world because, Queen anna will not send message if its not an emergency". i said to bro. saying bye to him is always painful for me.
"i will come back… very soon". i said by planting a kiss on her forehead.
As i reached their , i saw that everyone was bussy . it was like their is some ball in palace. i was looking the palace when i heard " LUCUSS!!! thnx to moon goddness that you camed before the ball, go and get ready in 10 minutes, i have arranged everything in your room ….go get ready fast…go goo.. hurry up.." she said pushing me towards my room.
"but…bu…butt… mommm…" before i could complete my talk mom went to George my elder brother who is a kid now also. and i went to do what i was instructed to do.
As i entered the ball everyone greeted me with the bouquet ….. and i was hell confused what happened……….then my eyes went on Kiara my childhood friend that they were treating her also the same. when i reached the stage i got to know that this ball is for engagement of me and kiara…

More from Kubo's Masked interview with permission from pony_rocks (a professional translator btw). I don't have the verbatim translation yet but she allowed me to post this info from the Byakuya FC at BA (post here):
Coincidentally, I've just been translating the Masked interview with Kubo for myself and it says that Soujun Kuchiki died in a battle. Apparently, he was rather delicate (the usual "his body was weak") and not really battle-oriented, but he still possessed some talent and after all he was supposed to become the next head of the Kuchiki clan, so he tried hard and made it to the rank of vice-captain, but then got killed. Poor thing. Kuchiki boys are obviously delicate.
Ah, Byaboi and his delicate flower petals of doom. Now I'm wondering what his daddy's zanpakutou was!
