A mysterious black circle has appeared in the middle of a farmers rice field in Okinawas southern Yaeyama area.
Lightning could be behind rice mystery
Date Posted: 2006-06-30
The 10 meter wide circle in a field on Ishigaki Island, in the Arakawa area, was discovered by the owner farming the land. The farmer says he was working in the field when thunder and lightning began, forcing him our of the area. Upon his return after the storm, he discovered the black circle.
Weather reports confirm heavy thunderstorms with lightning over the same area of Ishigaki Jima, and meteorologists say this black spot might be the result of a bolt of lightning. That could be the reason the rice became black. There were reports of lightning striking electric poles that same evening.
The rice field owner says at the black spot, the rice leaves and stalks had withered around the circle.
He has taken rice from the blackened area and is checking to see what impact the lightning may have on the rice. Test cultivations are underway. Usually, black rice is ten times as expensive as normal white rice.

UPDATE V: Did Republi-cons exploit 9/11 for political gain? You be the judge, read the Washington Post, About that Paul Krugman allegation of 9/11 shame.
UPDATE IV: "The legacy of 9/11 can't be fully measured even now, but perhaps the most damaging aspect can be found in our national discourse.
Taking the long view, it is possible to see the roots of today's political dysfunction — the hate, fear, anger and resentment — firmly planted in the soil at Ground Zero.
Did Osama bin Laden envision such a thing when he plotted the attacks? Probably not. He might have imagined that we would retaliate, and this would cost us lives and treasure. But he couldn't have known that we eventually would lose our common sense of who we are. This has been the big surprise of 9/11 — an ongoing, self-perpetuating act of American self-destruction.
Something was unleashed 10 years ago that bears our scrutiny. It wasn't only evil, though the attacks were certainly that. The event was so cataclysmic and horrifying that it caused a sort of emotional breakdown in the American constitution. Simply put, it damaged our collective soul and seems to have released a free-ranging hysteria that has contaminated our interactions ever since. . .
[S]urvival ultimately depends on our willingness to marshal reason and restraint against the emotional terrorism that surely will bring us down."
Read the Washington Post, An America that no longer knows itself.
UPDATE III: Something for our resident Pastor-to-the-Dictators, who defends hundreds of killings, arrests and torture cases by Middle East dictators, to think about, from the New York Times, And Hate Begat Hate:"IN their shock after Sept. 11, 2001, Americans frequently asked, 'Why do they hate us so much?' It wasn't clear just who 'they' were — Muslims, Arabs or simply anyone who was not American. The easy answer that many Americans found comforting was equally vague: that 'they' were jealous of America's wealth, opportunities, democracy and what have you.
But in this part of the world — in Pakistan, where I live, and in Afghanistan next door, from which the Sept. 11 attacks were directed — those who detested America were much more identifiable, and so were their reasons. They were a small group of Islamic extremists who supported Al Qaeda; a larger group of students studying at madrasas, which had expanded rapidly since the 1980s; and young militants who had been empowered by years of support from Pakistan's military intelligence services to fight against India in Kashmir. They were a tiny minority of Pakistan's 150 million people at the time. In their eyes, America was an imperial, oppressive, heathen power just like the Soviet Union, which they had defeated in Afghanistan.
Now, with the United States about to enter the 11th year of the longest war it has ever fought, far more of my neighbors in Pakistan have joined the list of America's detractors."
UPDATE II: "What if the United States' response to the Sept. 11 attacks was a politics of forgiveness and peace?" Read The New York Times, The Cycle of Revenge, which note that:"In the New Testament, Peter asks Jesus about the quantity of forgiveness: How many times should we forgive someone who had sinned against him. Is seven times enough, he wonders out loud? To which Jesus replies, from his full messianic height, 'No, not seven times, but seventy times seven,' meaning, there is no quantity to forgiveness, just an infinite quality."
UPDATE: "The war our enemies began on Sept. 11, 2001, is long over. Perhaps now, after 10 years of anxiety and self-doubt, we can acknowledge our victory and begin the postwar renewal and reconciliation that the nation so desperately needs.
There never was a 'war on terrorism.' It wasn't 'terrorism' that crashed airliners into buildings on that brilliant Tuesday morning. The attacks were carried out by a 19-member assault team from al-Qaeda, a terrorist organization then being sheltered by the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. There most definitely was a war against al-Qaeda, and we won."
Read the Washington Post, Post-9/11 permanent state of war should have ended long ago.
A topic for discussion today: 9/11, ten years later, what do you remember of that day, and what lessons have we learned, the cost of 9/11, one estimate is $3.3 trillion, and lost chances and those persistent myths about the attacks

Rogue landlords database is "pointless" unless council have more enforcement powers
Campaigners have welcomed government plans to open up its rogue landlord database to prospective tenants, as part of proposals to give greater protection to renters.
A package of reforms published for consultation includes proposals to stop no-fault evictions, which the charity Shelter has described as "far and away the most important thing the government can do" to help renters.
The communities secretary, James Brokenshire, announced plans on Sunday to allow public access to the register of the worst landlords, which is currently open only to local authorities.
However, introducing such a database without better enforcement would be a pointless exercise, according to the National Landlords Association (NLA).
The government was slammed earlier this year when it was revealed that any listings on the database would be kept secret from prospective tenants.
Only local authorities are given the information, to enable them to target illegal landlords and "name and shame" those failing to provide safe and decent homes.
But James Brokenshire, the communities secretary, has vowed to introduce the change, stating that is "right that we unlock this crucial information for new and prospective tenants".
Brokenshire announced a 12-week consultation on opening up the database.
The Government will also consider widening the list of offences that will warrant blacklisting on the database, such as breaching the new Tenant Fees Act.
A landlord can currently be listed for 14 "banning order" offences, from unlawful eviction and harassment to licensing breaches, or for two fines for housing offences in the past year.
But a freedom of information response three months ago revealed not a single banning order had been issued – and that just four names were on the database.
Chris Norris, director of policy and practice at the NLA, said: "It's all well and good to open the database up to tenants, but if local authorities aren't using the powers they have to identify and enforce against these landlords, it's not really going to be of much use to anyone.
"The inability of local authorities to enforce against bad practice is the main issue facing the private rented sector (PRS).
"Instead of spending time and money on a consultation, the government would be better off giving that money to local authorities for the sole purpose of tackling criminal landlords."

Now before you start attacking me for saying such a horrible thing, just hear me out! Of course children aren't gross. Not all the time anyway. But they can be. Really gross.
I don't know about your children, but mine definitely have had their gross moments. Fortunately, the level of grossness has definitely decreased as they have grown. This is a big relief, but also very annoying. Just when you get the handle on dealing with gross, they don't do it as much – their timing sucks.
And with gross, timing is everything. And its usually bad timing.
Take my younger daughter just a short while ago. I bring work home (a rare occurance). I am tasked with completing an urgent telephone interview for an editorial I'm writing, and I'm on deadline. I know nothing about the prospective interviewee, other than their name and number.
Just about a minute before I'm scheduled to call the prospective interviewee, Erin proceeds to vomit all over the lounge floor. This then causes my older daughter, Megan to shriek and run outside saying "I can't handle this."
As a mother, though, you're required to 'handle this'. It's in the fine print of the Parenting Deal. Subclause 1.3.6.ii or something like that. It reads…
"Mothers and/or Fathers shall clean up vomit, poop, snot, and assorted bodily fluids immediately after they are expelled and without fuss. No retching allowed. Calm behaviour essential, and parental concern non-negotiable."
Bet you didn't spot THAT clause.
You do get immune after a while. No matter how much you are warned beforehand, those early poops for example, are pretty challenging. Not forgettting the first carrot-coloured poop after they start on solids. I'm warning you now though, the worst are the active and hungry toddler's post-dried apricot poops. Not pleasant. ESPECIALLY if they are at the stage that they will get up and run the minute the nappy is off the bum. Apricot coloured, foul smelling, poop goop everywhere.
You learn to cope over the years, you truly do. Nobody teaches you this stuff, mind you, you just learn. Like how to handle a mountain of snot on your pillow when a little one comes in for an early morning cuddle in the middle of winter, with a blossoming cold, and proceeds to sneeze. Everywhere.
You also have to learn how to deal with the double whammy gross out, which happens when you have two kids at the same time. Let me give you an example. Child 1 is in the bath. You're undressing Child 2 to get her into the bath too. You hadn't noticed that Child2 had filled the nappy until the contents drop out during the undressing phase. It goes everywhere. Child 1 notices immediately, and proceeds to puke in the bath.
At this point, they are both screaming, and everything in the bathrooms smells of poop, vomit or both. There is only one option for the parent at this stage.
Yep, that's it. Laugh. There's nothing else for it at that moment. Sure, you'll have to follow the rule of Subclause 1.3.6.ii, and clean up the poop, the vomit, the kids and the bathroom, but you are allowed to have a laugh first.
It may be a painful, agonised laugh, but remember this… Your children will grow up one day, become parents themselves and they too will have to deal with Subclause 1.3.6.ii. Revenge is sweet.
May the gross be with you, but not on you.

One of 99 Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Volantes Is for Sale
This extremely rare drop-top Aston is the perfect companion for your next trip to Florida.
Now is your chance to own one of the most coveted new Aston Martins out there, the Vanquish Zagato Volante, courtesy of Aston Martin Palm Beach in Florida. This car is one of just 99 produced and was built as homage to the legendary DB4 GT Zagato.
The soft-top Vanquish Zagato Volante debuted alongside three other custom Vanquishes at Pebble Beach in 2016, as part of a continued partnership between Aston and Italian coachbuilder Zagato. While the car is meant to resemble the aforementioned DB4, it also sports a rear end inspired by the track-only Vulcan hypercar.
This example comes in Lava Red with contrasting Pure Black accents and a Spicey Red interior with Bridge of Weir leather. It's equipped with the Villa d'Este Package, which adds some unique touches to both the exterior and interior of the car. On the outside, the wheels and side strakes are painted bronze, and the window surrounds changed to Gloss Black. The inside of the car gets bronze-finished air vent surrounds, custom "Faded Quilt" door and window inserts, and a plaque on the engine signed by Zagato CEO Andrea Zagato and Aston Martin Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman.
The Zagato Volante is powered by the regular Vanquish's 5.9-liter V12 making 580 horsepower, mated to an eight-speed automatic. Pricing for this car isn't given, but these cars normally retail for close to $700,000, so we wouldn't suggest renting this out to people on Turo.

Lloyd Pietersen on 'Does the Matthean Jesus really loves his enemies?'
Here's something for you.
Newman Research Centre for the Bible and its Reception
It was a real joy to have Lloyd Pietersen with us recently to present a paper on 'Does the Matthean Jesus really love his enemies?' He was participating as part of the Humanities Research Group Seminar Series for the Newman Humanities Research Centre.
(full text of paper available to download below)
Lloyd began by conceding that this was his first time presenting an academic paper on the Synoptics (or Matthew in particular) and that this was very much a work in progress. The focus was Jesus' instruction in Matt 5:44 to "love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you", from the Sermon on the Mount, and argued that this idea broadly conflicted with the canonical and non-canonical Jewish understanding of 'enemy hatred'.

This Is Why Computers Reading Texts Isn't Always Very Good
The Cross Is Foolishness to Those Who Are Perishing
But some believe…
When at Athens Paul began to preach of our Lord Jesus Christ and the resurrection of the dead, they laughed at him first; but, after they thoroughly understood the matter, many of them were converted to the Christian belief, especially one of the highest magistrates called Dionysius and a noble lady, Damaris. And so we also hope that when the subject is heard to the end, all of your reasonable hearts will become favourable. — Huldrych Zwingli

I gave up trying to sleep after a rather restless night and was up and watching this week's "Extant" before 6am. The plot of the show seems to be being made up as the show goes along, but I found myself more and more being amazed bythe fact that Halle Berry is only two years younger than I am. The years have been much more forgiving to her than they have to me.
I quickly had a look on-line. Last night's on-line squabble seems to have died a death which was probably for the best. Why is it that whenever I disagree with someone I take the line of "I disagree with you for the following reasons..." but when anyone disagrees with me they take the line of "I disagree with you therefore you are a bastard"?
This is getting just a little bit wearing.
The morning's haul of emails brought a little frustration. Having spent out recently to replace my paper Ordnance Survey map of the East Kent area I am now told that had I waited a few days I could have got the map a lot cheaper by trading in my old map in part exchange.
As I drove to work I listened to the radio. Four out of every ten teachers have received a slap (or worse) from their pupils. Apparently "A lack of boundaries at home was singled out as the top reason for challenging, disruptive or violent behaviour".
I saw red on this one.
When I was a lad I didn't see my father in the morning; he'd gone to work by the time I got up. Most mornings I would get up myself, scoff brekkie and go to school where I would spend most of the day. By the time I got home and had some tea and done some homework it was usually bed time. Dad would come home about two to three hours after I got home.
It was much the same when my children were small. Whilst my mum laid down the law (as did "er indoors TM") most fathers are working every hour God sends. It is the teachers with whom the children spend most of their time, and it is these same teachers who should be setting some kind of moral and social example for the children.
Four out of ten teachers have experienced physical violence from their charges. Teachers are leaving the profession in droves because they are afraid. Doesn't this tell us something? People don't like being hurt perhaps?
When I was a lad the headmaster had a cane. He didn't need to wield it very often; the threat was enough. But periodically some oik would cross the line and would get two (NOT six) of the best. One boy had a sore arse for a day; a thousand boys behaved themselves and did their lessons (and didn't dream of attacking a teacher) for two years until the next oik got lippy. I think that is a fair price.
However things have changed at my old school. The cane has gone and I have heard recent tales of children openly sniffing glue in the classrooms.
My children's headmaster didn't have a cane. He had a permanently shut door (behind which he hid) and employed a load of support staff armed with politically correct platitudes. Whenever "My Boy TM" misbehaved, the teachers never dreamed of punishing him; they would sit down and try to discuss his crimes. He openly sneered at them. And "Daddies Little Angel TM"'s misdemeanours were rewarded with being given time off school so she could "reflect".
I've always said both fruits of my loin would have benefitted from a sore arse from their teachers from time to time. And told them both so. And in retrospect "Daddies Little Angel TM" has told me she agrees with me.
I got to work,an d an early start made for an early finish. From work I met Stevey at the station and we went on for McScoff with Steve and Sarah. And having McSoffed we went on to astro club.
I'd not been looking forward to going tonight. In all honesty I've not really looked forward to any of the club's meetings for some time. On the one hand I get to meet with a dozen good friends and a couple of dozen of other really good people that I have come to know over the years. On the other hand I am made to feel very awkward by the attitude of three people who make no secret of the fact that they detest me. It is heartening to be assured by everyone else that they want me to remain a part of the club despite the bullies, but I find it difficult to ignore them.
Tonight I made a point of making a joke of their attitude, but it is wearing a little thin...

Last evening, my friendly local bank wanted a hard copy of a bank statement from my Texas bank. Unfortunately, I left all that filing in the canyon three days ago, and the bank wanted it in a hurry. It was either drive all the way back down into the deep dark canyon and get the papers, and I don't drive at night because I can't see a thing and there are no street lights in the canyon, and there are bears and mountain lions and various other sentient beings, all with needs of their own that I might not share. So instead of going after the documents, we called the other bank and they sent a secure email. (Secure email? What's that? At my age I should not be required to learn about an entire new culture.)
I figured out how to open it, and by that time I was exhausted and the bank was
closed anyhow, so I went to bed thinking – I will print these out, take them to the bank in the morning, and then go down to the canyon to fetch all the filing in case somebody wants something more.
In the morning, I fired up my printer, attached it to the computer, and left it working while I loaded up my white pickup for the trip down canyon.
The printer choked twice, claimed to be jammed but wasn't, so I transferred the documents to thumb drive and drove over to the bank to arrive first thing, forgetting my coat in the rush.
The bank can't use thumb drives, nor can they plug my computer into their printer. So they gave me some paper that is a little shinier, and I went back home, threw the coat into the pickup, and managed to print out the 21 pages by using the different paper, a different computer, a different operating system, and sitting next the printer doing one page at a time.
I don't know why they need this, by the way, not to DO anything with. It's already done. Maybe to remember me by.
I went back to the bank and gave them the documents. Then proceeded in the white pickup for the canyon.
I was 3/4 of the way to the canyon when the white pickup stopped running for no apparent reason. Right at the only place on the highway system that proves Verizon WRONG. Cell phones do NOT work here. Never have; probably never will. Everyone knows this.
So I waited about half an hour and tried to start it up again. No luck. And I put on my WARM COAT, and set out to hike about four miles to the canyon, leaving Bitsy in the white truck because it's hard enough walking four or five miles on the highway, much less doing it with an unruly dog on lead.
About 1/4 mile down the road the snow started. Not the kind of snow you are thinking about. It was like little hard BBs blowing straight into my face. And FYI, It is REALLY dumb even to HAVE a vehicle in this kind of country without it has a warmcoat and a sleeping bag in it at all times. I already KNEW that.
I figured there was no hope that any of these jazzy tourists and hardworking truckers would stop for me, at least not without me waving a thumb, and I decided against thumbing because it's a curvy road, hard to stop from speed, and I thought probably a wrinkled old timer and his Apache wife, driving a pickup even older than mine, would eventually come by and stop, even without being asked.
Sure enough, they did, and drove me all the rest of the way to my canyon pickup which is an equally old red Ram four wheel drive that I got the first year, after Joey's wrecker had to come a few times and drag the white truck out of the canyon. It lives at the head of the canyon and always starts right up.
And of course I drove back to get Bitsy because the sun was coming out by that time, and loaded all that stuff into the red pickup, leaving the old white by the side of the road, gave up any idea of going down into the canyon for documents or even for my new tooth, and drove back where I came from to Joey's Wrecker, to give him the keys to the white pickup and ask him to bring it home.
About that time I remembered that the red pickup has had its license revoked because — well, this is another long story about documents, but the red pickup is registered in New Mexico, the white pickup in Texas, and the auto insurance came due while I was in Texas, so I walked in and paid it, but failed to use the appropriate document to prove to New Mexico that it is still insured. So they revoked my license and sent the notice to the wrong address. That's the short version.
So my question is — where do I live? I thought I was an American. It says so on my passport, and oh yes, I forgot to give them the change of address. But really, people keep asking me where I am a resident of? I never had that happen in my real lifetime. In those days, I jumped in the car and drove someplace, or even jumped in a plane, so long as I had a passport, and went someplace. That was it. Now people keep asking me where am I a resident of, and I do not know the answer, or at least I do not have the right documents that they will believe to prove it with.
No wonder these later generations seem to be afraid of everything. You don't think so? Just mention the word "overpopulation" and see what happens. But in a way I don't blame them. It seems like we can't do anything "right." Or there is nothing "right" available to do.
This document was written in "Pages." I shall now try to save it .docx so I can work with it on another computer that has all the benefits of WORD, but doesn't recognize docx. Or should I instead try to save it as a pdf, and can I then open it in .doc, which I can use on my other computer? No such luck. It's an Adobe product and they have all gone up in smoke – pardon me, clouds.
Maybe that's why your friendly local bank, that has now been bought by your efficient international insurance company, that may or may not be owned by the Koch brothers. Maybe that's why they require paperwork – reams and reams of paperwork, even when it doesn't make sense.
They know.
All of this is make-believe answers to make-believe problems, and it will
all go poof when the internet crashes.

Super Mario Brothers 3 Beat
Here's the new Saigon/Just Blaze Super Mario Brother 3-sampling track. This is from Saigon's oft-delayed debut album, The Greatest Story Never Told, which is finally being released on Feb. 15, 2011. Big news for a collection which has been plagued by label drama, announced/pushed back/delayed dates, "retirement" announcements, relationships, etc. Saigon has now been fully released form his Atlantic Records contract and now has 100% ownership of the recordings (some which date back as far as 2005). Another release, "The Yardfather Prologue EP", will supposedly follow the album, being released the next week. So, we'll see if this truly is "The Greatest" or "Worst" Story Ever Told.

Why Now is the Time to Switch to LED Lighting
We knew it was coming when Swedish furniture giant IKEA recently announced a global switch to 100% LED lighting, which will put an end to the sale of halogen and energy-saving compact fluorescent bulbs. More importantly, this move sends a loud and clear message to all commercial businesses (and even homeowners) that the day has come for us to leave the past behind and embrace light-emitting diodes (LEDs) fully. While many of us had moments of 'price tag shock' with LEDs just three years ago, their quality and cost have come a long way to finally reach a tipping point, and now is the right time to make the switch.
Why You Need to Make the Switch to LED Lighting
We know that you do not have time to read through volumes of research analysis or long list of boring scientific texts. So we have created a simple infographic to communicate the competitive advantages of LED lighting solutions to businesses and homeowners. This infographic focuses on "Why Now, rather than later". As we like to call it: "Just like a super fund, the earlier you invest in LEDs, the more benefits in savings you reap in the long term".

So as previously reported, my number one favorite musical of all time, RENT, is closing on Broadway. It was set to close on June 1, so I went and bought tix for the matinee performance, which would be the 19th time I've seen the show.
And then.
They changed the closing date to September 7! I knew something like this was going to happen. But what to do? I can exchange my tix for a show during closing week in September, but I believe I'm supposed to be in Cape Cod for the bulk of that week, so I will probably just end up going on the now anti-climactic date of June 1. As much as I heart this show, and as much as I'm happy they are squeezing three more months out of it, I admit to being annoyed as well.
The most excellent of theater news arrived today, via an email from Alan. I was just about to pop over to playbill.com like the huge theater nerd that I am when I received an email from Alan telling me that my second favorite show of all time, [title of show], was going to Broadway in July! YEAH! I was seriously screaming, people. You'd think I was an investor. I saw the show off-Broadway in September 2006 (pop back to that month in my archives if you want to read about how awesome I thought it was then) right before it closed, begged every theater person I know to go see it in its last weeks, and nobody listened to me. I have now threatened everyone I know that if they don't go see it this time, I'm breaking up with them.
If you have free time, PLEASE visit the [tos] blog on their website. It's hilarious. And join me on April 21 in buying tickets for the show. Or at least tell 9 people (this would make sense if you SEE THE SHOW).
And, in conclusion, SEE [title of show] ASAP.

We just got the news that John Cullen, an artist from County Clare, here in the emerald isle, will have his new webicomic, Mugged Off, debut tomorrow on SFX's website.
The comic is written by SFX's Rob Power and will be a weekly event. Here's the official press release:
Press Release:
Mugged Off: The New Webcomic from SFX.co.uk
Working on SFX– the galaxy's greatest sci-fi and fantasy magazine – is obviously a lot of fun, but it's also hard work, fueled by an awful lot of coffee.
But even the tastiest cup of coffee can be forgotten in a crisis (or a deadline). Mugged Off, sfx.co.uk's new webcomic, explores the trials and tribulations of Huck, a sentient cup of mouldy coffee, and his life in the offices of SFX.
With superb artwork by rising star of the Irish comics scene John Cullen and written by SFX's Rob Power, Mugged Offis a journey into the bizarre world of Huck as he deals with deadlines, terrible puns and an overwhelming love of biscuits.
You'll never look at your tasty hot beverage in the same way again. Probably.
Mugged Off will be posted every Tuesday at www.sfx.co.uk

Adobe has acquired Allegorithmic, makers of Substance, the industry standard for 3D textures and material creation in game and post production. By combining Allegorithmic's Substance 3D design tools with Creative Cloud's imaging, video and motion graphics tools, Adobe will empower video game creators, VFX artists working in film and television, designers and marketers to deliver the next generation of immersive experiences.
As brands look to compete and differentiate themselves, compelling, interactive experiences enabled by 3D content, VR and AR will become more critical to their future success. 3D content is already transforming traditional workflows into fully immersive and digital ones that save time, reduce cost and open new creative horizons. With the acquisition of Allegorithmic, Adobe has added expanded 3D and immersive workflows to Creative Cloud and provides Adobe's users a new set of tools for 3D projects.
"We are seeing an increasing appetite from customers to leverage 3D technology across media, entertainment, retail and marketing to design and deliver fully immersive experiences," says Scott Belsky, chief product officer/executive VP, Creative Cloud, Adobe. "Substance products are a natural complement to existing Creative Cloud apps that are used in the creation of immersive content, including Photoshop, Dimension, After Effects and Project Aero."
Allegorithmic has users working across the gaming, film and television, automotive, design and advertising industries, including brands like Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, BMW, Ikea, Louis Vuitton and Foster + Partners. Allegorithmic is used on AAA gaming franchises, including Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed and Forza, and was used in the making of movies, including Blade Runner 2049, Pacific Rim Uprising and Tomb Raider.
Allegorithmic tools are already offered as a subscription service to individuals and enterprise customers, and in the future Adobe will focus on expanding the availability of the Allegorithmic tools via subscription. Later this year, Adobe will announce an update on new offerings that will bring the full power of Allegorithmic technology and Adobe Creative Cloud together.

Random list J
1. I am back from Europe and it was pretty eventful. And full of freshly baked bread and hidden carbs and stubbornly high blood sugars. And alcohol. And hiking. And family time. And some stress nonetheless. On the way home our flight was delayed by 8 hours, causing us to miss a connection, and as a result spending 36 hours in various airports without even sleeping or brushing our teeth. The good news is we are getting financial compensation (happy dance!)
2. The day before we left I noticed I had two very itchy bites – one on each of my legs – at least I assumed they were bites. Anyway, they itched very badly and I scratched them, and then within a day or two I had a secondary infection on my skin - a horrible itchy rash spreading with a vengeance - which is nothing that has happened to me ever before. At first I thought it might be poison ivy or something, but then quickly realized it was something else. So there I was – in Europe, high blood sugar, and a (really f'ing itchy) skin infection… In Greece I consulted with a pharmacist and we both agreed it was bacterial – so got a steroid/antibiotic cream. Which helped a bit (but I didn't consider the double-whammy of rubbing that shit on my legs and then going out into the sun.) Can you say sunburn/ peeling/ super-irritated skin! And then the 36 hour airport adventure and all the Googling on skin conditions I did had me convinced that I might have anything from dermatitis to psoriasis to scabies. Yep, I am a hypochondriac.
3. After coming home with my skin not looking any better, my BG in the 300s, and no sleep for almost two days, I may have had a slight mental breakdown. In fact, I cried about diabetes (something I have NEVER done before, but I guess needed to happen). I admitted (in a sobbing mess) to my husband that I was doing a shitty job controlling my diabetes, that my skin was probably still infected because I couldn't get my BG down low enough for my immune system to help out, and that pretty much everything sucked and that I was a horrible person because of my shitty blood sugars. Yep. He responded so well. Hugs, and a "what can I do to help?" (side-note: I love him). Once I calmed down a bit, I asked for him to help hold me accountable. To help with carb counts. To ask me what my blood sugar is sometimes (not to like keep checks on me but just allowing him to be more involved, but not in a pedantic way if that makes any sense at all).
4. After getting about 11 hours of sleep, re-hydrating, and getting the BG to come down a bit, I felt pretty silly about being a crying mess the day before. But something changed that day. I think when you come out and say to someone (besides yourself or the internet): "I am struggling and I need help", you give yourself permission not to be perfect, and permission to love yourself when you are far from it. And even motivation to try harder. Anyway.
5. The skin- about three days after getting back I went to one of those Minute Clinics and had my skin checked out. Of course by then, it was almost back to normal (the NP must've thought I was crazy). She said it wasn't infected anymore and that I could switch from the Ab/Strd cream to OTC HCT 1%/. The rash is completely gone by now – apparently it was just some random infection that can happen whenever there is any break in the skin – cellulitis – and it was not serious and it happens to lots of people all the time. Of course, me being me, I spent a lot of time blaming my poor BG control for it. But maybe it was just a random rash and I shouldn't have been so concerned.
6. I went to the dentist last week! There is an exclamation point because: 1. I haven't been in about 6 or 7 years :O and 2. This was the first appointment I scheduled for myself (my mom would schedule all of mine, even in my early 20s..) And I was so happy that there were really no issues and that I got complimented on my oral hygiene. Also, I lied about my A1C, giving them the 6.8 (which it was about a year ago), instead of the last 8.6. I just didn't want the f'ing lecture (dum dum dum complications gum disease uncontrolled blah blah blah) – can you blame me?
7. I rescheduled my endo appointment to the end of October because I can't face him right now nor can I face my A1C.
8. I may have said this before but I feel very determined to get my A1C under 7 (like now). I know I can do it. It's so weird – how time flies. B and I have started looking for jobs. There have been HR departments we are keeping in contact with and it seems like there are lots of exciting opportunities. Shit's going down this year (or next), depending on when B finishes his Ph.D. and when/where we move. And then... Well – I mean – we are pushing 30 and probably going to want to start a family (what?) Re-reading some posts of Kerri and other ladies who have had pregnancies with T1D has been very motivational. Re-reading some of my old posts has brought laughter and a little bittersweet sadness. I'm not 17 anymore. Much closer to 30 now (how DID that happen!?)
Not much of a point to this post besides the update – we are working hard on careers as well as continuing with the training our dogs received while we were away. Celebrated 6 years of marriage last Sunday. And lots to do, lots to do, and hopefully a little fun to be had before the summer ends <3

During my Master's I had the luck to have a one-year mentorship/tutoring program with Pete and Joel from Hellicar&Lewis. Their work really push the boundaries of technology in a creative way, focusing on being in the moment and creating memories you will cherish and remember. I've also participated in paper prototyping workshops held by Pete and Joel. It was really fun to mess around with cardboard and markers!
I also had the amazing opportunity to fly to London and work with them at their studio. I helped out with concept development, design research, gestural input sketches and creating a scoping document for a major international client. I learned a lot from this experience, had a lot of fun and met wonderful people (Sarah and Jess, I'm talking to you!). Would love to go back soon 🙂
The skills learned from these experiences have helped me incorporate rapid prototyping and creative thinking paired with technology into my own practice.
Both Pete and Joel are really generous, creative people. Here is an awesome interview with them.

The fastest-growing segment of Worcester�s population the past two decades has been its Latino community; yet, Latinos have not been able to capitalize on that politically.
The fact of the matter is that Juan A. Gomez is still the only Latino to be elected to local public office � he served on the City Council from 2000 to 2005.
Maritza Cruz almost beat Mr. Gomez to that distinction in 1997 when she came within 129 votes of knocking off then-District 4 City Councilor Janice L. Nadeau. But when Ms. Cruz ran for an at-large council seat in 2007 she didn�t even survive the preliminary election, finishing a distant 14th in that race.
The problem the Latino community has had in getting a foothold in local politics is twofold.
First, only a handful of Latino residents have either run for City Council or School Committee; secondly, the Latino community has never been organized in such a way where it can effectively exercise its potential political clout. But Latino activists are hopeful this upcoming municipal election will serve as a defining moment in reversing that.
There are three Latino residents on the Nov. 8 municipal ballot: Hilda Ramirez for School Committee, Sarai Rivera for the District 4 City Council seat, and Carmen L. Carmona for mayor and an at-large council seat.
Meanwhile, a political action committee has been formed in the hope of giving the Latino community the political organization needed to support its candidates.
Adelante Worcester Political Action Committee was founded as a non-partisan organization by a group of Latino activists, including Mr. Gomez and Ms. Cruz, in response to the continued rise in Worcester�s Latino population. The group says it is committed to working in its community with respect to the expansion of ongoing civic engagement and political representation.
In other words, the Latino community wants to have more of a voice in what goes on in City Hall and the public schools, and it wants greater representation on the elected bodies that oversee those institutions. Last week, AWPAC announced its endorsement of Ms. Ramirez and Ms. Rivera.
�This is a very exciting time for the Latino community,� said Jennithan Cortes, vice president of AWPAC. �We feel we have two very qualified candidates seeking office and it is important that we support them 100 percent.�
Other Latino candidates who ran for local public office in the past did not enjoy such backing; instead, they were pretty much on their own.
In endorsing Ms. Rivera for the District 4 council seat, members of AWPAC went out of their way to make it clear it was not meant as a knock against incumbent Barbara G. Haller and the work she has done in representing the district the past 10 years. Indeed, probably no other councilor works harder than Ms. Haller in representing their constituents, and she has been credited with playing a major role in improving the quality of life in District 4.
But members of AWPAC simply feel the time has come for a new voice to represent the district.
�District 4 has proven to be an intriguing race,� Mr. Cortes said. �While we truly respect, appreciate and are thankful for the many years of dedicated service by incumbent City Councilor Barbara Haller, we are confident that Dr. Rivera is well prepared to represent the diverse interests of this multicultural and heavily populated Latino district.�
Many City Hall observers believe the District 4 race could be a tight one. If AWPAC is able to mobilize the large Latino base in the district they feel Ms. Rivera could have a very good shot at capturing the District 4 seat.
It won�t be easy, though, because Ms. Haller has a strong base of her own supporters who feel she has represented the district well during her tenure on the council. Ms. Haller also has never lost an election, having fended off other challengers in the past, and she knows what it�s all about to be in a tough political fight.
In endorsing Ms. Ramirez for School Committee, AWPAC described her as �a very effective, educated and committed advocate.�
�For years she has been working on many of the issues that affect not only low-income minority children in the Worcester Public Schools, but all the children in our community,� said Ms. Cruz, president of AWPAC. �Her r�sum� speaks for itself and it�s impressive.�
Ms. Ramirez is executive director of the Worcester Youth Center, where she has been working with youth on issues of civic engagement, education and economic empowerment.
Unlike Ms. Rivera, who is in a one-on-one district race with Ms. Haller, Ms. Ramirez faces an even tougher challenge. She not only has to run as a citywide candidate, but to win a seat on the School Committee she has to finish ahead of at least one of the six incumbents.
And for a first-time candidate in a citywide race, that is a tall order.
Meanwhile, Ms. Carmona did not receive AWPAC�s backing. That may be because many City Hall observers believe she has the least chance of winning among the three Latino candidates on the ballot � she is considered a super-duper long shot at best at having any chance in the at-large council or mayor�s race.
Whether the Latino community is successful or not in getting its candidates elected to the City Council and School Committee in this election, it�s safe to say this is a beginning and those efforts will likely only grow stronger in future Worcester elections.

Who would Babe Ruth have been without his bat? Or Mark Twain without his fountain pen? What about King Arthur and his sword, Excalibur? Certainly, his story would have ended much differently without that magical piece of steel.
For many small and medium-sized businesses, particularly those within the construction industry, QuickBooks is their Excalibur. Quickbooks, an accounting software, allows construction company owners and contractors to thrive within their field. It's the missing ingredient that allows them to level-up.
QuickBooks is often lauded for its ease of use. However, there are still some important things all contractors should note before they dive in. To help you decide if this software is right for your business, we compiled a helpful list of five things to know before using QuickBooks.
1. There Are Different Versions Of The Software
One of the reasons QuickBooks is so popular is because they offer multiple versions of their software. While other accounting software may take more of a, "one size fits all" approach, QuickBooks understands that every contractor and business is different.
First, you can choose between an online and desktop version. Which one you choose will be highly dependent on which features you need, as well as your budget. For up-to-date information on which is right for you, check out this helpful article from Fundera, which dives into the advantages of each type.
At 24hr Bookkeeper, we offer QuickBooks Training for QuickBooks Online for one-on-one or group training. We'll help make sure that you are confident in your ability to understand and use QuickBooks going forward.
Here is a brief breakdown of the four types of QuickBooks software you can choose from, including QuickBooks Self-Employed and QuickBooks Mac.

QuickBooks Online is the cloud-based version and requires zero software installations. You'll be able to choose between four different subscriptions: Simple Start, Essentials, Plus, and Advanced. You can access QuickBooks from any computer with an internet connection as long as you have a secure login. In addition, you can have multiple users working simultaneously, never have to backup your file, and have seamless integration with construction management software.
QuickBooks Desktop
With the desktop version, you'll have to install software onto your computer. Once again, you'll have three options to choose from: Pro, Premier, Enterprise. Unless you are a large company, then you will likely not be using the Enterprise level. Keep in mind you have to pay per user and you will need to backup the file as well.
QuickBooks Self-Employed
For freelancers, QuickBooks Self-Employed is the route to go. Just like QBO, Self-Employed is cloud-based so as long as you have a computer with an internet connection, you can access the information you need. One of the best features that this version of QuickBooks possesses is the ability to separate business expenses from personal ones. This is a great option for 1099 contractors. So if you're a sole labor provider, it may be a good fit for you.
QuickBooks Mac
QuickBooks Mac is extremely close to QBO but is a desktop version. So, if you have a Mac but want to avoid a cloud-based software, then QuickBooks Mac is worth checking out. Check out this article for more in-depth information on QuickBooks for Mac.
2. QuickBooks Allows Access To Multiple People
If you have a team who needs access to your accounting information, QuickBooks allows for access to multiple members. So, while your team or business grows, anyone who needs to enter numbers or check up on accounting information (such as an accountant), can do so.
When it comes to keeping tabs on company accounting, it is essential that everyone can collaborate on financial tasks. Also, you'd be hardpressed to find an accountant or accounting firm who isn't familiar with QuickBooks.
3. QuickBooks Allows You To Create Invoices & Quotes
One of the biggest pain in the necks of running a small business is trying to make sure that you get paid on time. Every small business has a horror story about being paid for a job two months after completing the job. While all might be forgiven once that money finally comes, wouldn't it be nice to ensure that any similar issues like that don't happen again?
QuickBooks accounting software has a feature that allows you to create invoices and quotes. The invoices look extremely professional to help your business look good. Most importantly, you'll be able to craft invoices efficiently and email, as well as mail them to your clients and customers.
4. Training is Required
While yes, QuickBooks is easier than other accounting software on the market today, you'll still need some training. Your business's accounting is paramount to your success. Whereas with a mistake in marketing may cost you a lead or a sale, an accounting mistake could be much more detrimental to your company going forward. Inaccurate record keeping can result in huge fines.
So, make sure that you take the time to be properly trained-in on how to use QuickBooks. When it comes to accounting, winging it is not an option.
5. QuickBooks Allows You To See Almost All Of Your Business Financials
Using QuickBooks, you can access the following information through the customized reports they supply:
- Banking – You can keep tabs on all your banking transactions, deposits, and withdrawals and search your banking history with ease.
- Budgets & Forecasts – Ensure that your business is staying within the parameters of the project budget.
- Taxes – Taxes can be a real headache. With QuickBooks, your tax information is much easier to understand, and anyone assisting with filing your taxes can have access to the information they need.
- Receivables – Keep track of who still owes you money and how much with ease.
- Employees & Payroll – As your company expands you can better understand how your payroll is looking and where you have room for expansion
- Jobs & Timesheets – Find out who is working where and when and for how long.

Efficient discovery and optimization using high-throughput experimentation and Predictive Design Technology™
Poster Jan 22, 2008
The new emphasis of high throughput experimentation is the discovery of "hits" by searching extensive experimental spaces. These have the issues of: • High-dimensions; • Synergies (nonlinear interactions) ; • Unpredictable behavior. ProtoLife Srl has developed Predictive Design Technology™ (PDT™) to deal with these issues using proprietary algorithms. It been successfully tested in complex experimental spaces involving drugs, catalysts, and formulations.

Have you ever wondered what tutors do outside of work and school? We have a wonderful example in Lucas Adams, a tutor and lab manager here at the Student Learning Center. Luke is currently a senior Actuarial Science major here at Appalachian. He's always loved being a tutor, and works hard in all of his classes to maintain his outstanding GPA! But what does he do in the little free time he has? He plays in his band!
Lucas and his friends Grey and Norren have been playing in their band, "Grey Oakes", since they were in High School. They played a few small venues around Burlington, NC until they had the opportunity to record their first EP that released late 2015.
It isn't easy for them to get together and practice because not all of them attend Appstate. So no weekly practice for these guys! However, they do meet up multiple times over weekends prior to a gig in order to prepare. Their gigs are usually on the weekends at local restaurants or bars, and have also played for school events at UNCW as well.
When asked about balancing work and school with practice, Lucas had this to say: "Balancing work/school/band isn't necessarily too hard for us. Our lead singer and guitarist, Grey Oakes, goes to UNCW, so we usually cannot all practice together unless we meet around our hometown, Burlington. But between gigs, we still talk frequently about possible new songs to play, showing each other new original songs we're coming up with, and other ideas for the band. We all enjoy being involved in a band and making music, so it does not feel like a heavy weight on our schedules. In our free time we choose to do this so it's not much of a problem."
To me, this is a big inspiration for those of us, including myself, who say that we're too busy to do the things that we want. We could all take a lesson from these guys to just remember to have fun between the work and stress, and to appreciate the time we have in college as much as we can.
If you'd like to get a taste of their music, you can find them on Spotify and iTunes under the name of "Grey Oakes". They also have some videos on YouTube. If you're interested in purchasing t-shirts from these guys, they're now available for purchase, $15 each! Just email firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject "Grey Oakes Shirt." They would definitely love it if you did! And of course, if you'd like to book them for an event, you can email them at the same address given above, or give Lucas a text at 336-420-5567

I have put together some of my favorite healthy recipes for all my fellow breakfast lovers out there that are not only delicious, but easy to make! Breakfast is important – not only is it the first meal of your day, but it also sets the tone for the next 12-15 hours you spend awake. Let's make it count!

Press Release Details
Principia Announces Expansion of its BTK Franchise with PRN473 Topical
Company expands focus on immune-mediated diseases and suspends FGFR program
Company outlines anticipated key corporate milestones
"PRN473 Topical broadens Principia's portfolio of purpose-designed BTK inhibitors, with the goal of expanding the options for patients and the knowledge of BTK's role across immune-mediated diseases," said
By commencing clinical development of PRN473 Topical, a reversible covalent BTK inhibitor, Principia believes topical administration will be an important addition to the expected utility of systemic BTK inhibition (rilzabrutinib) and CNS-penetrant BTK therapy (
About PRN473 Topical
PRN473 Topical, an investigational drug, is entering into a Phase 1, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, single and multiple dose trial to evaluate its safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics. The trial will be conducted in
BTK is involved in innate and adaptive immune responses and is a critical signaling molecule in immune-mediated diseases. BTK inhibitors have demonstrated an ability to block inflammatory immune cells, eliminate autoantibody destructive signaling, and prevent new autoantibody production without depleting B cells. Given the abundance of immune cells in skin and their role in immune-mediated diseases, PRN473 Topical is being developed for localized skin applications. PRN473 Topical is the company's third BTK inhibition molecule to enter the clinic, joining rilzabrutinib, an oral, reversible covalent BTK inhibitor designed to treat systemic diseases (pemphigus, immune thrombocytopenia, and IgG4-RD) and
Anticipated key corporate milestones
Principia also announced anticipated key milestones for the company's clinical development programs:
- Rilzabrutinib
• 1H20 – Presentation of pemphigus Phase 2 Part B trial
• 1H20 – Initiation of Phase 2 trial for IgG4-RD
• 2H20 – Presentation of ITP Phase 2 trial
• 2H21 – PEGASUS Phase 3 trial results (accelerated from 1H22)
- PRN473 Topical
• 1H20 – Initiation of Phase 1 trial
• 2020 – Phase 1 trial results
Sanofianticipates Phase 2b trial data in multiple sclerosis
• 2020 – Principia Phase 3 co-funding decision
Principia is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to bringing transformative therapies to patients with significant unmet medical needs in immune-mediated diseases. Principia's proprietary Tailored Covalency® platform differentiates the company's investigational therapies from traditional small molecules and provides the potential to deliver the potency, selectivity and safety of injectable drugs while maintaining the convenience of a pill or cream. This highly reproducible approach enables the company to pursue multiple programs efficiently. Rilzabrutinib, a reversible covalent BTK inhibitor, is being evaluated in a Phase 3 clinical trial in patients with pemphigus -- an orphan autoimmune disease -- a Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), and the company plans to initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with IgG4-related diseases.

Kim Kardashian Opens Up About Racist Attack On Her Baby
Kim Kardashian's daughter was verbally abused during a racially-motivated attack on board a flight
The reality TV star has spoken out about a prejudice incident concerning her one-year-old daughter North.
On a recent episode of her family's reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim admitted that her daughter with Kanye West was verbally abused on board an aeroplane.
In the episode, Kim told her younger sister Khloe, 'I fell asleep, I woke up to this woman screaming, "Kanye West's baby!" The woman is screaming at my child, I jump up.'
Khloe replied, saying, 'I would've punched her in her face.'
Kim's mum Kris Jenner then chimed in, saying, 'This lady stood up in the cabin in first class and yelled at the top of her lungs, "She's with a black guy, and that baby is black! And you need to shut that black baby up!"
Kim took to her blog last month to share her racism concerns. 'To be honest, before I had North, I never really gave racism or discrimination a lot of thought,' she wrote. 'It is obviously a topic that Kanye is passionate about, but I guess it was easier for me to believe that it was someone else's battle.
'I realise that racism and discrimination are still alive, and just as hateful and deadly as they ever have been.
'But recently, I've read and personally experienced some incidents that have sickened me and made me take notice. I realize that racism and discrimination are still alive, and just as hateful and deadly as they ever have been.'
Have you experienced any prejudice towards your child? If so, share your story in the comments in the box below.

Recently, Tony noticed that a rising number of his clients were business owners who needed guidance in accessing affordable finance, falling into a gap that banks were reluctant to fill.
Like many savvy brokers, Tony saw this growing market and seized the opportunity to diversify and offer his clients smart and simple business loans with Spotcap.
One of the biggest challenges brokers face in today's environment is diversification.
Spotcap makes it incredibly easy for brokers to diversify, with a simple online application, dedicated account managers and approval assessments within 24 hours.
"I think with all the changes in the industry, a lot of brokers do risk falling behind if they don't diversify with options like Spotcap."
"Spotcap is about creating lasting, high-value relationships for the broker and customer, which encourages brokers to grow their business and customer relationships in a healthy, sustainable way," Tony added.
