Josephine learned that she didn't have to clean herself up to go to God and put her faith in Jesus, that his sacrifice on the cross would make her clean. She decided to get baptized to publicly proclaim her faith. Check out her story:
My name is Josephine Oli. I grew up in Cameroon (Central Africa). I came to the US a few years ago for the pursuit of happiness (a better life, great opportunities). Immigrating to the US was one of the biggest challenges I had to face in my life. Leaving my family and friends behind to a new life, new culture, a new language was very difficult. I wasn't sure how my new life would turn out for me.
God wasn't a priority in my life while growing up. My family was Catholic but we never practiced. My parents used to take us to church on Sundays and on Christmas if they had time. They wanted to make sure we knew that there was a God. We didn't pray at home, but you could tell that my parents were God-fearing people. They always did what was right and were kind to people. Their faith was based on obedience.
Because of my parents acknowledgement that there is a God, I also believed in God but didn't know I could have a relationship with Jesus. My faith was similar to my parents' faith.
Years later, I got my visa to come to US and I didn't know anyone in the States, but God opened doors for me and I found a family who was willing to welcome me. They were a Christian family too. At that point there was no doubt in my heart that God was taking care of me already. And I knew that everything would be fine.
My new family and I started going to church almost every Sunday and my love for God began to grow stronger. I never prayed before like these people were praying. I didn't know you could just talk to God like you are talking to a friend. This was so new to me, and I started getting curious and wanted to learn how to talk to God too. This family helped me understand that Christ died on the cross for me and explained that if I wanted to have a relationship with him, I should pray and ask him into my heart. And I did.
For years we went to the same church, even though I had moved out of their home. I didn't miss a service. I learned how to talk to and to have a relationship with Jesus, and it was so cool.
Later on, my new family decided to go to a different church and I stopped going as well. Afterwards, I kind of lost my way, I made a lot of mistakes, I stopped praying like I used to, and my love for God was growing cold. I started facing a lot of difficulties in my life and I didn't know what to do.
Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you." – Deuteronomy 31: 8
One day a friend of mine invited me to her church for a prayer night so we went and that night I realized that something was missing in my life. I needed Jesus in my life, I needed to find a way to get back to him. So I decided to find my way back to Christ. I visited different churches but couldn't find what I was looking for. But I kept praying and asking God to guide and lead me to a church I would call my home church, my family in Christ, where I will grow spiritually, and that's when I came across Grace Community Church.
I started coming to Grace, and before I knew it, I was taking classes and decided to get involved with the Tech team. I love to sing but I cannot sing. So I joined the technical team so I could worship as they practiced and as I supported them by advancing the song slides.
That's how I met Beth for the first time. I cannot explain it, but since that day my heart just felt in love with her. I am kind of a reserved person – I would not open up easily until I'm close to you but for some reason I realized it was different with Beth. I could open up easily and share with her my feelings, when my heart was heavy, or when something was going on in my life. She's been a blessing in my life. I knew in my heart this is the church God wanted me to be apart of because he was exceeding my hearts desires and I love it.
It's been a little over a year since I found my way back to God. I see his blessing everyday, he has answered my prayers by giving me a wonderful man in my life and we are expecting our first babies together. God has been putting in my heart for some time now to get baptized but I refused to listened to him because I thought I was not ready, I thought I was too dirty to go to him so I wanted to clean myself up first. Then I heard Pastor Mitchel's message reminding us that God does not expect us to come to him when we are clean. He wants us to come to him the way we are, filthy and dirty so he himself can wash us clean with the precious blood of his son Jesus Christ because only he can do that. That's is why without hesitation, today I want to declare openly to my family in Christ and to the world that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and I love him.

Anyway with the correct information you can unquestionably arrange an exceptional gathering that each guest will esteem just as you. Here is the stuff that you should know in setting up a gathering.

Thusly, you'll accompany a thought exactly how much nourishment you have to plan and gauge the quantity of seats, tables and plates to be utilized in the gathering. Therefore, you can stay away from over spending or being short in nourishment alongside other basic things.
Make an Arrangement. In setting up a gathering for any event you should have an arrangement. This very incorporates making an agenda of the things that you have to do and what to purchase for the gathering. As you continue to the planning of the gathering you can look at the things that you've just finished and you'll see the ones that are still left.

Animated Cursor Vulnerability Attacks Increasing
Looks like attackers are increasing their use of the Windows Animated Cursor Vulnerability we posted awhile back, link to the patch is here, with one group pushing it in the United States and in Europe, and another Chinese group pushing it in China. Two different attempts to exploit the same vulnerability.
There are two main attacks that comprise of the majority of these sites. The first set we believe are one of the first groups to start using the zero-day exploits in the wild. These are attacks that started in the China region and appear to be created by groups within the Asia Pacific Region. The attackers have compromised hundreds of machines and placed IFRAME's back to the main servers that host the exploit code. In most cases the payload and motivation of these attacks is to gather credentials for online games such as lineage. Lineage is a very popular online game in Asia.
The second set of attacks started just a couple days ago appear to be from a group in Eastern Europe. This group has been placing exploit code on sites for many years now and has a very resilient infrastructure. They have used WMF, VML, and several other exploits in there routines previously. As of now they have also added the ANI attacks to their arsenal. The payload and motivation is somewhat different however as they are more known to install rootkit's and crimeware which is designed to install form grabbing software and keyloggers in order to compromise end-user banking details. Also in the past they have installed fake anti-spyware software as a distraction and as a means to falsify someone into acquiring some anti-spyware software. Source: A tale of two ANI attacks: Same exploit, different motives, different targets
It's amazing to me that there could be groups doing this stuff for years and getting away with it, no doubt helped by people creating websites and then abandoning them for years. Google recently starting removing the links for sites like these out of the natural search results, so, hopefully, most of the sites with their code are or will be removed soon.

The injury-plagued Tennessee Titans, who already will be without both of their starting offensive tackles Sunday against the Houston Texans, also will be without second-string right tackle Dennis Kelly, who was hospitalized with a virus, a source told ESPN.
Without starter Jack Conklin (knee) and Kelly, the Titans will start undrafted free agent Tyler Marz, whom they signed off their practice squad Saturday.
Marz spent six weeks last season on the Los Angeles Chargers' roster before he was released and signed to Tennessee's practice squad.
Tennessee also will be without left tackle Taylor Lewan (concussion) for Sunday's matchup against the division rival Texans and their vaunted pass rush featuring J.J. Watt.
The Titans also face uncertainty at quarterback, where they remain undecided on whether Marcus Mariota (elbow) or Blaine Gabbert will start, according to a high-ranking team official.
While Mariota is listed as active, another source told ESPN that the quarterback "still isn't able to grip the ball normally."

Leadership Inspirations Activities
Human Knot
The group must untangle itself to form a circle
10-20 minutes
Team Stage
Norming, Performing
Type Of Activity
Experiential Activity
The group must untangle itself to form a circle. To be successful they must trust each other and be creative problem solvers!
- This activity is best played with 10-15 people per group. If you have a larger group, break them up into smaller ones to play.
- Safety: If someone has an injury to their back, shoulder/arm, or neck, they should not participate in this activity.
- Have groups stand in a circle.
- Everyone puts their right hand into the circle and takes the hand of someone across from them. Then they should extend their left hand in and take the left hand of someone across the circle from them (it should not be the person standing next to them).
- If everyone has two able hands, it doesn't matter if you have an odd or even number of people doing this activity everyone will end up holding hands (someone's right hand may be left over from the first round, but they can grab a left hand).
- Once everyone is tangled, the group may not let go of each other's hands.
- Their task is to untangle themselves so that they are standing back in a circle (some people may be facing different directions and that's okay).
- Facilitator Note: Once the group has untangled themselves, there are times when they may end up in two dissecting or even separate circles. If you don't mind this result, it is great for debriefing! If you do want them to end up in one continuous circle, once everyone has taken two hands, you can check this by having one person (A) start by squeezing one hand connected to them (B), then B would squeeze C, C would squeeze D and so forth. If the squeeze makes it back to person A and has touched everyone, you have a continuous circle.
- You can also give each participant a bandana. They should hold it in their right hands and then should take the bandana of someone else with their left hand. They must untangle themselves without letting go of the bandanas.
- If you have groups that have played this activity before, you can make the activity more challenging by adding rules like no talking or certain people are blindfolded.
- What was the goal of this activity?
- Did your group do well? What could have improved?
- How did your group make decisions? Was it effective or ineffective?
- How did your group manage conflict that arose?
So What?
Inclusion and Involvement
- What does it mean to be inclusive or exclusive?
- What did we do as a group that was inclusive? That was exclusive/not inclusive?
- Why is inclusion and involvement important for our group?
- Why is feedback important? What kind of feedback is important?
- What does constructive/effective feedback look like?
- How did positive/negative/or no feedback affect your success?
- When has your group worked well together in the past? When have they not worked well together?
- When has (something that happened in the activity) happened in the past with your group?
- What habits or actions make a successful or effective team? What does your group do well as a team? What are your group's opportunities for growth when working together?
Now What?
- What does this activity tell you about the strengths of your group? The areas for improvement?
- What's one commitment each person can make?
- What are three lessons the group has learned that they can continue to work on?
- How can we implement these lessons in our school/organization?
- What can you do differently moving forward?

You're looking for jobs! A couple companies with openings for your position catch your eye. You're qualified for your job and have plenty of experience. The question is, does your resume say so?
I have seen a lot of resumes, and it's crazy to see how many are old and completely useless in your search for a good position.
You can be overqualified for a job but still be at a disadvantage if your resume is not up to date. Following the continuously changing resume styles and techniques can fix that!
There is a new obstacle waiting for job-seekers everywhere. The Applicant Tracking Systems(ATS). This online program essentially scans every resume that is sent in for an open position, and decides if it is worthwhile for a hiring manager or recruiter to look at.
If you don't want to say goodbye to that job you've been wanting, you need to get past the ATS.
How might you succeed in beating the ATS? You've come to the right place. Here are some tips.
Keep Your Resume Focused
A common mistake I see is people making their resume too extravagant. Too many pictures, templates, and extra add-ins will confuse the ATS. Keeping your resume within the parameters of the ATS is very important.
You don't want to put too much extra in your resume, or it will likely not pass the system. Staying professional and straightforward will work wonders with the ATS.
In addition to this, keep your information relevant. Experience, education, and important skills should be the core!
Say Goodbye to the Objective
Look at the top of your resume. Do you see an objective? If you do, get rid of it! Objectives are outdated and unnecessary.
No one even reads them anymore, so why waste space on the most important document in your job search?
A professional summary would be the perfect thing to replace it with. Summaries are wonderful for professionally displaying your experiences, skills, and notable accomplishments.
They can grab recruiters attention and that gets you closer to an interview! Objectives don't make a good impression, summaries do.
Keywords, Keywords, Keywords
Every industry has keywords that relates skill and success.
Applicant Tracking Systems look for these words! Learning these words can be tough, but if you do, they can dramatically increase your success in the job search. These terms will be noticed by both ATS and recruiters!
One of the best places you can find these keywords are right in front of you. When looking for positions, these terms are everywhere in the job descriptions.
Finding exact words and phrases and putting them into your resume will give you the push that your resume needs to get through the ATS. While they are super important, try not to overuse keywords, or you might scare off recruiters!
Spelling and Grammar
While this is super simple, it is also very important! Incorrect spelling and grammar can make your resume look unprofessional and poorly made.
It may not seem like much, but an error free resume can really impress recruiters and hiring managers. Spell check and re-read your resume a couple times, and you'll be on your way!

'You and your sad and serious,' she said. 'Will you never come off it?' (p.24)
Beckett biography
Samuel Beckett was born in Dublin in 1906 into a middle-class Anglican family (they had a tennis court in the garden). He went to private school, where he excelled at cricket, and people who like arty anecdotes will tell you he is the only winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature who is also mentioned in Wisden (for his several appearances in county-level cricket teams).
From 1923 to 1927 Beckett studied French, Italian, and English at Trinity College, Dublin, which goes a long way to explaining the polyglot nature of his texts. In 1929, while living in Paris, the young Anglo-Irishman was introduced to the great Modernist writer, James Joyce, becoming his secretary for a while. In 1931 Beckett returned to Dublin to lecture, but in 1931 resigned, packing in academic life to travel on the Continent. He published a study of Proust, miscellaneous poems and tried to find a publisher for his first novel, A Dream of Fair to Middling Women, the title being a ponderous reference to Tennyson's poem, A Dream of Fair Women.
All the publishers rejected it, but Beckett reworked passages of it into this collection of short stories, More Pricks Than Kicks. In fact, the failed novel is referred to by title as the long-pondered work of a character in the seventh story, What a Misfortune, the would-be poet and cuckold of Mr Otto Olaf bboggs, Walter Draffin.
The tilted kepi of the attendant, its green band and gilt harp, and the clang beneath in black and white of his riotous hair and brow, so ravished Walter that he merely had to close his eyes to be back in Pisa. The powers of evocation of this Italianate Irishman were simply immense, and if his Dream of Fair to Middling Women, held up in the limae labor stage for the past ten or fifteen years, ever reaches the public, and Walter says it is bound to, we ought all be sure to get it and have a look at it anyway. (p.128)
More pricks than kicks
So this is Beckett's first published work of fiction. It's a sequence of ten interlocking stories (with a few author's footnotes explaining the linkages, where relevant), set in Dublin and describing the super-bookish, über-erudite but shiftless anti-hero, Belacqua Shuah – 'a dirty lowdown Low Church Protestant high-brow' (p.156) – who has a series of mostly pretty mundane encounters and adventures around Dublin and in the neighbouring countryside.
(Nowhere in the text does it explain that the name Belacqua Shuah comes from a figure in Dante's Purgatorio, a Florentine lute-maker famed for his laziness, who has given up on ever reaching heaven. We have Wikipedia to thank for this information.)
Like most Modernist texts More Pricks than Kicks assumes you have a good working knowledge of European literary classics and are fluent in at least the key modern languages (not only the French and Italian which Beckett himself studied, but German also) as the text is sprinkled with quotes like the following, with no translation:
Meine Ruh ist hin mein Herz ist schwer
Ich finde Sie nimmer und nimmer mehr.
You only have to read a few sentences to realise that Beckett has a very tangential relationship to the English language. His prose wilfully combines:
- Irish idioms and phrases ('It would take off the rough wet')
- Latin tags and phrases (obiter, pro tem, tempus edax)
- ordinary English proverbs and clichés
- better late than never
- the things people come out with sometimes!
- pompous Biblical phraseology
- 'Who shall silence them, at last?'
- and clichés from popular fiction
- The effect of this was to send what is called a glow of warmth what is called coursing through his veins
- … and no mistake!
- well, to make a long story short
- Hairy was as snug as a bug in a rug
- arch direct address of the reader:
- 'Reader, a rosiner is a drop of the hard…'
- 'Reader, a gloria is coffee laced with brandy.'
- a liberal sprinkling of the three main European languages
- sly quotes from literary classics
- rebarbatively arcane words
- an elaborately Euphuistic register
- deliberately obscure phrasing and sentence structure
The book has a strong sense of humour but of a very distinct and idiosyncratic flavour. Three pages are devoted to describing Belacqua's extremely pedantic way of toasting bread for lunch which – it appears – involves burning each of the two slices of bread to a smouldering crisp.
When the first candidate was done, which was only when it was black through and through, it changed places with its comrade, so that now it in its turn lay on top, done to a dead end, black and smoking, waiting till as much could be said of the other… Belacqua on his knees before the flame, poring over the grill, controlled every phase of the broiling. It took time, but if a thing was worth doing at all it was worth doing well, that was a true saying. Long before the end the room was full of smoke and the reek of burning. (p.11)
This meal that he was at such pains to make ready, he would devour it with a sense of rapture and victory, it would be like smiting the sledded Polacks on the ice. He would snap at it with closed eyes, he would gnash it into a pulp, he would vanquish it utterly with his fangs. Then the anguish of pungency, the pang of the spices, as each mouthful died, scorching his palate, bringing tears.
This is certainly pretentious (the sledded Polacks are from Hamlet), but is it funny? Or just twenty-something self-indulgence? The show-off antics of a top-of-the-class ephebe?
These questions hover over the entire book, which treads all kinds of knife-edges. Some of it is laugh-out-loud funny. Some of it is, frankly, incomprehensible. Most of it is painfully arch and contrived. You get the sense that a lot of it – whether the use of Irish idioms or obvious proverbs, the learned disquisitions about Italian poets or the sentences which feel like they're walking on stilts – they all seem to be mocking their respective registers, styles and conventions.
Take this portrait of a lady, 'the Frica', which, beneath the glossolalia, seems to be comparing her, caustically, to a horse:
Behold the Frica, she visits talent in the Service Flats. In she lands, singing Havelock Ellis in a deep voice, frankly itching to work that which is not seemly. Open upon her concave breast as on a lectern lies Portigliotti's Penombre Claustrali, bound in tawed caul. In her talons earnestly she grasps Sade's 120 Days and the Anterotica of Aliosha G. Brignole-Sale, unopened, bound in shagreened caul. A septic pudding hoodwinks her, a stodgy turban of pain it laps her horse face. The eyehole is clogged with the bulbus, the round pale globe goggles exposed. Solitary meditation has furnished her with nostrils of generous bore. The mouth champs an invisible bit, foam gathers at the bitter commissures. The crateriform brisket, lipped with sills of paunch, cowers ironically behind a maternity tunic. Keyholes have wrung the unfriendly withers, the osseous rump screams behind the hobble-skirt. Wastes of woad worsted advertise the pasterns. Aïe! (p.46)
It comes from the longest 'story', A Wet Night which seems to be about a soirée for poets and whatnot held by this same Frica.
It's as if the entire text is held at an angle from normal human perception, and bears only a passing resemblance to traditional narrative conventions. Maybe it's intended to have the same deliberately angular feel of Wyndham Lewis's consciously Modernist prose. Maybe its sentences are intended to contain lots of jagged edges, like a Vorticist painting.
Wyndham Lewis's prose was generally satirical in intention. This book feels like it is not only satirising the 'grotesque' and apparently ageing anti-hero, his solemn monologues and pettifogging concerns, and also many of the traditions of conventional narrative – plot, dialogue, description – but is also satirising the reader for wanting to read it and the author for ever writing it.
Some occasional phrases appear legible and funny, and ring with a Joycean poetry:
- 'Oh Winnie' he made a vague clutch at her sincerities, for she was all anyway on the grass. (p.25)
- Chastening the cat with little skelps she took herself off. The grey hairs of her maidenhead
screamed at Belacqua. A devout, virginal blue-stocking, honing after a penny's worth of scandal. (p.17)
- Though he might be only able to afford a safety-bicycle he was nevertheless a man of few words.
- Capper Quin arrived on tiptire, in a car of his very own. (p.164)
But many, many, many other passages are purposely obtuse and circumlocutious, wilfully repelling and discomforting comprehension.
At this all-important juncture of his delirium Belacqua found himself blinking his eyes rapidly, a regular nictation, so that little flaws of dawn gushed into his mind. This had not been done with intent, but when he found that it seemed to be benefiting him in some curious way he kept it up, until gradually the inside of his skull began to feel sore. Then he desisted and went back to the dilemma. Here, as indeed at every crux of the enterprise, he sacrificed sense of what was personal and proper to himself to the desirability of making a certain impression on other people, an impression almost of gallantry. He must efface himself altogether and do the little soldier. It was this paramount consideration that made him decide in favour of Bim and Bom, Grock, Democritus, whatever you are pleased to call it, and postpone its dark converse to a less public occasion. This was an abnegation if you like, for Belacqua could not resist a lachrymose philosopher and still less when, as was the case with Heraclitus, he was obscure at the same time. He was in his element in dingy tears and luxuriously so when these were furnished by a pre-Socratic man of acknowledged distinction. How often had he not exclaimed, skies being grey: "Another minute of this and I consecrate the remnant of my life to Heraclitus of Ephesus, I shall be that Delian diver who, after the third or fourth submersion, returns no more to the surface!" (p.149)
For long stretches the text is an omnium-gatherum of obfuscation. But despite its post-graduate knick-knackery – I liked it. I read many passages twice, getting to know them better. The Lobster, Lethe, Walking out and Yellow repay rereading.
The stories
Dante and the Lobster (11 pages) Introducing Belacqua, who makes burned toast for lunch, stops in a pub till chucking out time (2.30), picks up the lobster his aunt ordered from a fishmonger, goes to his Italian lesson, where the lobster is attacked by the French tutor's cat, and arrives with the lobster at his aunt's, who boils it alive.
Fingal (10 pages) Belacqua takes his lady love to Fingal, a viewing point outside Dublin, where they colloquise almost incomprehensibly before walking over to enjoy the view of the lunatic asylum, where Belacqua is replaced in the lady's affections by Dr Sholto, sidles off, then nicks a labourer's bicycle and scarpers back to Dublin where the story ends with him happily ensconced in a warm snug downing a pint of porter.
Ding-Dong (9 pages) Restlessly moving from pub to pub, Belacqua witnesses a child being run over by a cart, though that's not the point, the point seems to be a woman approaching him to sell theatre tickets in yet another pub.
A Wet Night (30 pages) Belacqua is dragged along to a party hosted by 'the Finca', and attended by the 'homespun Poet', 'the Alba', the Polar Bear (P.B.), a Jesuit (S.J.), Chas and his girl ('a Shetland Shawny'), the 'arty Countess of Parambini', the Student, the Caleken, a Galway Gael, the Man of Law escorting three tarts, two banned novelists, a bibliomaniac and his mistress, a paleographer, a violist d'amore with his instrument in a bag, a popular parodist with his sister and six daughters, a still more popular Professor of Bullscrit and Comparative Ovoidology, the saprophile the better for drink, a communist painter and decorator fresh back from the Moscow reserves, a merchant prince, two grave Jews, a rising strumpet, three more poets with Lauras to match, a disaffected cicisbeo, a chorus of playwrights, the inevitable envoy of the Fourth Estate, a phalanx of Grafton Street Stürmers and Jemmy Higgins.
Love and Lethe (12 pages) A slightly more comprehensible 'story', complete with satirical asides to the reader, in which Belacqua has persuaded the fading 33-year-old Ruby to accompany him in a suicide attempt. They drive out to a hill, climb it, sit to admire the view, drink a whole bottle of spirits, the gun goes off by accident harming neither – at which they fall to urgent rumpy-pumpy in the ling.
Walking Out (10 pages) 'Walking out' is the phrase used to describe courting couples back in D.H. Lawrence days. This is a brutal subversion of the convention. Belacqua is walking in fields when he is caught up by his lady love and fiancée, Lucy, on horseback. An obscure Latin phrase in their conversation somehow conveys to Lucy what we then find out, which is that Belacqua has come this way to spy on a 'courting couple' who, apparently, have sex in the nearby woods. She rides off in a huff, and is trotting blind with anger along a narrow country lane when a car driven by a drunken lord hurtles round the corner, kills her horse outright and cripples her for life. Oblivious of all this Belacqua has continued on his way to the gloomy woods where he sneaks about till he finds his (German) couple in flagrente delicto, but steps on a dry branch and the enraged Tanzherr chases him, catches him, and administers a good flogging. Belacqua crawls home. In a cruel postscript we learn that he and the crippled Lucy are now married and regularly play records on the phonogram :).
What a Misfortune (30 pages) Lucy conveniently dies, two years after her accident, and Belacqua is free to become engaged to Thelma bboggs, younger daughter of Mr and Mrs Otto Olaf bboggs, who has made his pile from toiletries. Beckett's humour is not… subtle. This is an extended Beckettian satire on all the embarrassments and confusions of a bourgeois marriage, complete with unwilling bride's father, his wife's lover, the hairy best man, a crippled nymphomaniac and a drooling cretin. But this makes it sound too comprehensible. It is the usual onomasticon of oneiromancies:
The hyperaesthesia of Hairy was so great that the mere fact of standing on licensed ground, without the least reference to its liberties, was of force sufficient to exhilarate him. Now therefore, under the influence of his situation, he dilated with splendid incoherence on the contradiction involved in the idea of a happy Belacqua and on the impertinence of desiring that he should derogate into such an anomaly. (p.118)
The Smeraldina's Billet Doux (5 pages) The shortest section, this is told entirely in the first person, as a letter written by an illiterate German girl who appears to be madly in love with Belacqua, who she refers to as Bel. Presumably, he's had some kind of affair with her.
Only at this point, being a bit slow, did I finally realise that every one of these stories revolves around Belacqua's encounter with a specific woman – Signorina Adriana Ottolenghi in Dante and the Lobster, Winnie in Fingal, the unnamed woman who sells him theatre tickets in Ding-Dong, 'the' Alba in Wet Night, Ruby in Love and Lethe, Lucy in Walking Out, Thelma in What a Misfortune and 'the' Smeraldina in this story. And that these are presumably the fair to middling women of his unpublished novel, reworked into freestanding stories. It's hard to see what purpose or meaning to give to their central role except as a plot device, the device being that each of them represents the opposite pole to Belacqua's well-developed solipsism and self-absorption, each of them yanks our hero out of his seamless subjectivity. And each one of them is the prompt or spur of humour, satire and scorn.
Yellow (13 pages) Belacqua is in hospital awaiting an operation on a tumour the size of a brick growing out of his neck. Now that I've identified this in the previous stories, this one confirmed what I see as the fundamental dynamic of the stories, which is the way Belacqua's leaden solipsism is punctured and alleviated, lightened, amused or irritated, by the intrusion of women – one per story, generally, but in this one a small regiment of nurses, fussing and trimming him. They are quite personable. Some bits – like the nurse bursting out laughing at the ugliness of his toes – are quite funny. In the last few sentences, it appears that Belacqua dies on the operating table.
Draff (13 pages) This final story reviews, or at least namechecks, all the fair to middling women who featured in its predecessors, before pointing out that Belacqua's widow was his final amour, no other than 'the Smerladina' whose letter we read a few sections earlier. Now she attends to Belacqua's corpse, laid out in the parlour, and deals with sundry visitors (Nick Malacoda the undertaker, the Church of Ireland padre, friend Capper). She and Hairy dress the burial plot with moss then go through the interment, next day. On the way back Hairy argues with the padre and dumps him in the middle of nowhere. Arriving home, they find Smeraldina and Belacqua's house in flames. Apparently the gardener ran amok, raped the serving girl and torched it. A policeman points out he is now under arrest. Hairy takes the Smeraldina driving up into the mountains where – I think – they have sex which – I think – she seems to like rather rough. The groundsman back at the cemetery finishes his bottle of stout.
So it goes in the world. (p.173)
So what do we take from all this? That Beckett:
- has swallowed not only an English dictionary of rare and obscure words, but an Italian and French and German dictionary as well
- has little new or interesting to say but says it with supernumerary logorrhoea
- ('what a splendid thing it is when all is said and done to be young and vigorous')
- occasionally takes recourse to Catholic theology, but with no feel at all for the numinous
- ('He did not know the French for lobster. Fish would do very well. Fish had been good enough for Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour. It was good enough for Mlle Glain.')
- is not much interested in plot or story
- and finds all humans risible, but has a particular itch against old crones – like 'his lousy old bitch of an aunt'
But most of all, that Beckett's prose – stitched together from a diverse range of sources and languages – is not sensual. It is certainly variegated – a rackety gallimaufrey of idiolects, langues and locutions – but it is always rather grey.
Belacqua, paying pious suit to the hem of [Ruby's] garment and gutting his raptures with great complacency at a safe remove, represented precisely the ineffable long-distance paramour to whom as a homesick meteorite abounding in IT she had sacrificed her innumerable gallants. And now, the metal of stars smothered in earth, the IT run dry and the gallants departed, he appeared, like the agent of an ironical Fortune, to put her in mind of what she had missed and rowel her sorrow for what she was missing. Yet she tolerated him in the hope that sooner or later, in a fit of ebriety or of common or garden incontinence, he would so far forget himself as to take her in his arms.
The ghost of Joyce hangs heavily over Beckett. Joyce, a genuine world class genius, wrote sensitively and sensuously with a God-given inhabitation of language. Beckett is trying something similar – an obfuscation of orotundity – but it doesn't roll or rise. He has all the fandango and fol-de-rol, but no feel.
Clever, but dead. Beckett's prose is assembled with tweezers. It is like a chemistry set, constructed with a chemist's detachment. You can see why, later in the 1930s, he began to write in French. The over-clotted English style displayed here was a dead end, as was the entire approach of clotting and cluttering, additioning and complexifying. He had to completely purge his approach, and his langue, in order to find his metier as the prophet of paucity made famous from Godot onwards.
More Pricks Than Kicks by Samuel Beckett was published in 1934 by Chatto and Windus, London. All page references are to the 1974 Picador paperback edition.

Arsenal started awfully, improved a bit, scored a great goal, then lost it late on. Mourinho sucked Arsenal in, especially as Arsenal had little bite in the last third.
I Don't think any Arsenal fans were under any illusions. As well as things have gone in the last few games, we all wanted big changes personnel-wise in the summer. Today unfortunately was a reminder why.
The Gunners have so many defenders on the books and still had Kolasinac at LCB. Shifting these unwanted players isn't going to be easy.
Martinez - 7. Made good saves including Davies, Kane twice and Son.
Mustafi - 5. Honestly fine for about 75 minutes but the last 15 he lost it and returned to his panicky, rash true self.
Luiz - 5. Not blaming him for the equaliser personally but thought generally he looked off the pace and second best.
Kolasinac - 1. The bloke has looked shaky ever since moving into the back three so we can't say this hasn't been coming. Honestly awful today, terrified whenever the ball is near him. Criminal carelessness for the equaliser.
Bellerin - 5. Tried getting forward a few times. Upsetting how much pace he has lost.
Ceballos - 7. Who I thought was the best player on the pitch. Had faded by the end but before that he was literally everywhere. Most touches of any player today I believe.
Xhaka - 6. Did well for the goal. Not much else to say.
Tierney - 6. Was okay. One great delivery in the first half. Don't know why he was on Alderweireld though?
Pepe - 5. He had some bright moments later on in the first half but we still need more from him really.
Lacazette - 6. Scored a great goal and almost made one for Auba.
Aubameyang - 5. I'm aware of what he can and can't do well. Not expecting him to grab the game by the scruff of the neck and make things from nothing, but wanted a bit more life than that. Two good chances in the second half.

Auckland swimmer specialist Corey Main has squeaked into tonight's semi-finals of the 100m backstroke with a personal best performance.
Main, 21, recorded 53.99s to grab the final qualifying spot. He had 0.12s to spare over the 17th swimmer. The fastest qualifier was Frenchman Camille Lacourt in 52.96s.
Not surprisingly, Main was delighted to advance.
"The swim felt quite good," he said. "The legs stung a bit at the end. But a personal best is good for a heat swim.
"My training suggests I can go quicker than that tonight."
The other two New Zealand swimmers involved in today's heats, including freestyle star, failed to advance.
Boyle, swimming in the 400m freestyle, recorded 4min 07.90s, which turned out to be good enough only for 14th, with eight going through to the final. The fastest qualifier was American superfish Katie Ledecky, potentially one of the stars of the Rio games. Though never stretching herself, she swam 3min 58.71s, just a click of the fingers off her own world record.
Boyle, a former world championship bronze medallist in the 400m freestyle, has a personal best of 4min 03.63s, but was well off that today.
The 28-year-old, who has not had the easiest of years with various health problems, swims in the 800m freestyle later in the meet.
"Once I got to the start blocks I put all the illness issues behind me," she said. "I gave it everything I had. But today that wasn't good enough which was very disappointing.
"I can't dwell on it. I have to switch my focus to the 800 in two days' time."
Waikato freestyler Matthew Stanley went close to making the semi-finals in the 200m freestyle.
Stanley recorded 1min 47.37s to finish in 20th, with the top 16 going through. The fastest qualifier was China's Yang Sun in 1min 45.75s and Stanley would have needed 1min 47.15s to go through.
He said he was pleased with how he set up his race, but that three weeks out of the pool last month with an ankle injury had cost him.
"I had nothing left in that last length. That cost me around 0.5s at least."
Stanley came into the games ranked 30th in the world, so 20th was no mean effort. He was only 0.04s off his New Zealand record.
Swimming times seem to advance exponentially – when Danyon Loader won the gold medal in the 200m freestyle in Atlanta in 1996, his time was 1min 47.63s.Rio 2016 Olympic Summer Games Danyon Loader Corey Main Lauren Boyle Matthew Stanley

When Google recently purchased YouTube for $1.65 billion, the company grew up fast. Its own operations have changed little in the few weeks since the announcement, but YouTube suddenly looks much more "adult" to content creators. The entertainment companies, now realizing that YouTube is worth serious money, want their share of the cash, and YouTube has been more than willing to oblige.
There wasn't much choice—if the company had not come up with a deal to placate rights-holders, much of the best material would no doubt have been pulled from the site. But in signing on the dotted line with music labels and CBS, YouTube has put itself in a situation where it needs to perform, or it risks the loss of even more content.
Metrics cut both ways
Media organizations are watching YouTube closely. Many of them are weighing whether to pull video clips for which they own the rights, or leave them up in the hope of attracting greater publicity. Others have already decided that the site isn't helping them, and have asked for infringing content to be removed. Last week, 30,000 Japanese clips were pulled, while new reports this week indicate that Comedy Central clips have been the subject of DMCA takedown notices.
Back when YouTube provided publicity but no money, the entertainment industry's calculus was already complex. Would spawning the next viral hit be worth the sanctioning of copyright infringement? Now that YouTube is offering revenue-sharing agreements (and even equity for some major players), the decision has grown more complicated.
YouTube has put itself in the position of providing measurable results. Companies that sign agreements with the site will know exactly how much money they are making from their content and how many people they are reaching with it. Because the industry now sees exactly how much those YouTube clips are worth, YouTube has put itself in a situation where it can no longer rely on a vague sense that "Leaving our videos up on YouTube is great publicity!"
While that's great for the industry, most of the companies in question have no real loyalty to YouTube. Their allegiance is to the almighty dollar, which means that the moment they can make more money elsewhere, you can expect to see their copyrighted content pulled. YouTube now finds itself in the position of having to show that it generates a better return on investment (ROI) than the rights-holders' own portals in order to keep hosting the best content—a very adult thing to be doing.
Outsourcing video
In the quest to accomplish this, we believe that YouTube will ultimately develop branded portals, each one featuring the content from a specific company. In essence, this would mean that media companies would outsource their video delivery and online advertising units to YouTube/Google, rather than having them scattered across the web, as they do now.
Note that no major media companies offer spartan pages with quick-loading clips; everyone seems bent on making their site look "professional," which generally means loads of pictures, Flash animation, pop-up windows containing proprietary players, and more. Switching to a branded YouTube portal could mean giving up a lot of control in the area of design and branding in the interests of reaching more consumers and serving content more quickly. As we've seen time and time again, though, media companies hate to give up control.
The more companies that agree to revenue-sharing deals with YouTube, the better off the entire system is for everyone. If YouTube becomes the "go-to" destination for online delivery of video clips and television shows, more content encourages people to stick around longer and to discover new material—and that means more revenue.
Will Comedy Central ever return? If YouTube can provide them with more cash, a branded portal that spotlights other Comedy Central shows, and a fast interface, anything's possible. Stephen Colbert jokingly claimed in a recent clip (ironically, still available on YouTube) that the site owed him $700 million, since he provided so much of their content. He may have been kidding, but plenty of Comedy Central executives no doubt feel this way. If YouTube can use its new tracking system to show that Comedy Central stands to make millions by signing off on revenue-sharing, The Colbert Report and other shows might one day reappear.
But if the new metrics only show that no one can make money streaming good-quality, ad-free video, then Colbert & Co. could be off the 'Tube for good.

If you're planning or expecting a pregnancy in Hong Kong, this guide will help you figure out how the healthcare system works in Hong Kong for non-residents, whether you need maternity insurance, when you should get it, and what it covers.
Healthcare in Hong Kong
We'll start off with a quick overview on how the healthcare system works in Hong Kong.
Generally speaking, the healthcare system here is based off of the UK NHS system with eligible persons (residents with an identity card) paying less for healthcare than non-eligible persons. There is also a much more expensive private system that exists in parallel that helps address some of the shortcomings of the public system.
The Public Health System
In Hong Kong, the Hospital Authority runs 162 hospitals and clinics throughout the island. Of these 162 facilities, there are 42 hospitals, 47 specialist outpatient clinics and 73 general outpatient clinics that are organized into 7 clusters:
- Hong Kong East Cluster
- Hong Kong West Cluster
- Kowloon Central Cluster
- Kowloon East Cluster
- Kowloon West Cluster
- New Territories East Cluster
- New Territories West Cluster
The Private Healthcare System
While the public system in Hong Kong is well developed, clean and professional, there are many reasons why expats (or even some residents) would choose to use the private system for obstetrics (childbirth & pregnancy)
- You're have access to English-speaking healthcare staff
- You'll be provided with a dedicated obstetric professionals (doctors & midwives)
- Hospital rooms are more luxurious – while it won't be like the Peninsula, you can expect hotel-like services
But all these benefits come with a hefty price tag that varies between hospitals. For your reference, here is a brief outline of a few different hospitals and their fees (refer to the actual hospital's website for more detailed information).
Sanatorium Hospital
Prices range from HK$19,200 + doctor's fees for a routine delivery to HK$55,200 + doctor's fees for a c-section in a private room. There will also be extra fees for emergencies or after-hour services.
Canossa Hospital
Prices range from HK$17,100 to HK$79,100 for a c-section (not including doctor's fees)
Matilda International Hospital
Prices begin at HK$19,500 but can go all the way up to HK$94,000 for a scheduled elective c-section (not including doctor's fees)
St. Theresa's Hospital
This is one of the less expensive private hospitals with prices starting at HK$14,800 to HK$39,800 for an elective c-section.
The prices outlined here are just for basic services. Realistically, childbirth and care at a private maternity hospital will cost upwards of HK$100,000 taking all other costs into account.
If you're curious, the Hong Kong Hospital Authority has published a list of fees and charges for eligible, non-eligible and private medical services provided by HA hospitals and clinics.
Pregnancy & Baby Delivery Costs
Hong Kong is without a doubt an expensive city to live in. With soaring property prices, cost of living has gone up as well bringing healthcare costs with it. Luckily, the friendly folks at the Hong Kong Hospital Authority have developed packages for pregnancies. If you are a non-eligible person going to a public hospital, these are the packages & prices available to you:
Pre-booked Obstetrics Package at Public Hospitals
For HK$39,000, this package includes:
- 1 antenatal check-up
- Delivery & delivery care services
- 3 days & 2 nights of hospitalization in the public general ward for delivery & delivery care services
Non-booked Obstetrics Package at Public Hospitals
For HK$90,000, this package includes:
- Delivery & delivery care services
- 3 days & 2 nights of hospitalization in the public general ward for delivery & delivery care services
This package is for people who have not pre-booked or who have not undergone an antenatal check-up provided by the Hong Kong Hospital Authority.
Obstetrics at Private Hospitals
This is where things get much more expensive. For those who want to escape the public healthcare system and give birth at a private maternity hospital like Matilda, Sanatorium or Canossa, the price for a routine pregnancy and birth range from HK$100,000 to HK$200,000.
If there are complications, the price goes up even more.
Maternity Insurance
Maternity Insurance is a type of health insurance that will pay for costs of childbirth and related medical treatments. With rising healthcare costs and the risks of complications, expecting parents in Hong Kong should purchase some Maternity Insurance.
What does it cover?
Typical cover includes:
- Pre & Post-natal treatment
- Routine vaginal delivery
- Medically necessary c-sections
- Costs of delivery with complications (this is where the real value of Maternity Insurance is)
Additional cover includes:
- Fertility & IVF treatments
- Treatment for birth defects
- Guaranteed coverage extended to the newborn (another important reason why many people choose to purchase Maternity Insurance)
Depending on which insurance company and the type of coverage chosen, you may have some or all of these benefits. Depending on what coverage you get, you could even get coverage for procedures done at medical facilities outside of Hong Kong.
Where can I get it?
There are a lot of insurers out there providing Maternity Insurance. At Trusted Union we've chosen carefully and decided to work with:
We think these insurers offer the best coverage, value and claims service.
- William Russell
- Generali Global Health
- ALC Health
- David Shield
- Allianz World Wide Care
- Cigna
- April
- Bupa
What Terms & Conditions do I need to pay attention to?
Now that you've decided that Maternity Insurance could be a good fit for you, there are some terms & conditions you need to be aware of.
Waiting Period
Most maternity policies have a waiting period. The waiting period is the time following the start of the policy when you are unable to claim for any expenses incurred during that period. Most Maternity Insurance plans will have a waiting period of at least 10 months. This means you'll need to plan ahead and purchase Maternity Insurance early on.
Next Steps
If you're interested in learning more about Maternity Insurance and whether it would be a good fit for you, get in touch with a licensed health insurance professional. We'll be happy to discuss your options with you and provide you with additional information so you can make an informed decision.

Adam Levine was falsely accused of abusing his wife and newborn daughter, according to a report.
A bogus call was made to the LAPD last Wednesday informing cops that Levine, 37, hit his weeks-old daughter in the face and struck his wife, 27-year-old supermodel Behati Prinsloo, so hard that she fell to the ground, TMZ reported.
Investigators from LAPD's juvenile division, however, determined that the claims were bogus after visiting Levine's home, interviewing Prinsloo and finding no visible injuries on her or the baby girl, Dusty Rose, according to the gossip site.
"The Voice" star was rattled by the false claims — but he understands that fame can sometimes invite unwelcome attention, sources close to the star told TMZ.
Levine and his Victoria Secret Angel wife welcomed Dusty Rose on Sept. 22.
The couple wed on July 19, 2014 in Mexico, two years after going public with their relationship in 2012.

The Last Apostle is the first in the series of novels on the life of John over the last two millennia.
What if John, the last living apostle of Jesus Christ, was still alive and well and living in Seattle?
In A.D. 100, John was restored to the body of his youth and sent on a mission with a warning: to never reveal his true identity. He winds up on a small Greek isle where he faces an attempted assassination, a run-in with the Roman authorities, and develops a relationship with the daughter of the village leader.
Fast-forward to modern-day Seattle, where John leads a foundation dedicated to bringing clean water to third world nations. A new television series brings attention to ancient legends about the true fate of John the apostle and threatens to reveal the truth of his identity. John struggles to keep his secret as he grows close to Nicole, a young woman he recruits to lead his organization.
For two thousand years, John has wandered the earth while hiding his true identity. But now, both friends and foes are on the verge of discovering who he truly is, an event that will trigger the end times.
Can John divert those who would discover his secret, or will curious friends and suspicious enemies spark the apocalypse?

Angel Marie Fields was out with friends when she noticed that her chest felt tight and heavy. She felt a lump but did not give it much attention. After all, she was only 26. When she checked it again later, it felt like one big lump. She made an appointment with her ob-gyn, Hany Ahmed, M.D., who found three distinct lumps – two in her left breast and one in her armpit – and referred her to the Memorial Hermann Cancer Center-Greater Heights for an ultrasound.

Today a woman will walk into a Memorial Hermann Breast Care Center for her annual screening mammogram. The staff and providers will be prepared to receive her and deliver specialized breast cancer imaging services. She may go to lunch with a friend, return to work or go on the many errands she has planned for that day. She will not consider that there may have been a change in her breast health over this last year until she receives the call from her physician saying, "We see something in your mammogram that concerns us and want you to come back for some additional imaging."
In 2013, Glenna Stoecker was hospitalized with pneumonia under the care of pulmonologist Mohammad Siddiqui, M.D. (Dr. Siddiqui), who is affiliated with Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital. Dr. Siddiqui followed her with chest imaging every six months afterward. After noting changes in her right upper lung lobe in late 2015, he ordered a CT-guided biopsy, which revealed pulmonary adenocarcinoma, a common cancer that usually originates in the peripheral lung tissue.
A unique collaboration between radiation oncology and urology at Memorial Hermann Cancer Center-Memorial City has raised the standard of care for prostate cancer patients, improved patient satisfaction and increased volumes. One of only a few centers in the Greater Houston area offering high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy for prostate cancer, it is also the only center with a radiation oncologist, Shariq Khwaja, M.D., Ph.D., certified by Augmenix® to use SpaceOAR, an abbreviation for Spacing Organs at Risk, which offers rectal protection for prostate cancer radiation therapy patients.
Memorial Hermann gives women the best breast imaging experience available at 19 Houston-area locations, combining advanced technology with fellowship-trained radiologists and a comfortable environment.
The Memorial Hermann Cancer Registry is dedicated to capturing the complete patient cancer experience from diagnosis to survivorship. Each patient's cancer experience is unique, based on the physician's treatment plan, cancer stage and outcomes. The work of the System's registrars, through the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Commission on Cancer (CoC), leads to better information that helps researchers, physicians and administrators understand the management of cancer to find better treatment and
improve overall survival.
Consistently ranked in the top 1 percent in the nation in patient satisfaction, the Memorial Hermann Cancer Center- Southeast has expanded its services to better meet the needs of patients in southeast Houston and the Bay Area communities.
Ernest "Chappie" Conrad, M.D., has a well-established international reputation for the surgical treatment of sarcomas. At the University of Washington in Seattle, he paved the way and helped set standards for the world in assessing risk and response in sarcoma patients, using PET imaging, as well as in limb-salvage surgery for adults and children.
Growing up with a mother who believed strongly in good nutrition, Erika Jenschke learned to cook at an early age. "My mom always made sure we had home-cooked meals, so I learned the importance of good nutrition," Jenschke says.
A selection of current clinical trials available at Memorial Hermann.
Rubina Abrol, M.D., physician leader for the American Lung Association (ALA) in Texas, loves her role in patient education and provider advocacy, in part because before she became a physician, she was a patient. A cancer survivor, Dr. Abrol was diagnosed with lymphoma in her first year of medical school. In her third year, she contracted pneumonia and ignored her symptoms.
Six physicians, an oncology nurse navigator and an oncology social worker have joined Memorial Hermann Cancer Centers located across Greater Houston.
The Memorial Hermann Cancer Centers sponsored a continuing education course for physicians and other clinicians on Nov. 10, 2017, at Memorial Hermann Greater Heights Hospital.
