Volume 13
Chapter 1230: Boundless Mountain
Despite the flow of time, everything in Mirage Sea Realm maintained a sense of tranquility.
Huan Chenxue enjoyed playing the flute and she had a perfect sense of music. The music she played on the flute was not augmented by any Yuan Qi, yet it was able to calm a person's mind in an inexplicable manner.
And whenever she played, Yi Yun would have the irresistible urge to cultivate his Sword Dao amid the music. With Huan Chenxue as his mirror, his sword arts improved rapidly.
When he wasn't in cultivation, Huan Chenxue would frequently tend to her flowers.
Yi Yun would also help her most of the time. Plowing the land, watering the ground, planting the flower saplings…
The duo would enjoy strolls on the cloud-covered Mirage Sea Sea Cliff. They would watch the endless and calm sea. Above them were blue skies and white clouds. The scenery left Yi Yun completely calm.
Although Huan Chenxue was a mortal, she seemed aware of all that had taken place from before to now. She had a mysterious disposition and she was definitely of extraordinary birth. However, Yi Yun would also feel that she was an ordinary, if beautiful, woman when he planted flowers with her. She would let out a light laughter when he said something funny or knit her brows slightly when the flowers she planted withered.
Unknowingly, several years passed. On that tiny island in Mirage Sea Realm, Yi Yun spent most of his time cultivating in seclusion. Every day, he would take breaks to have a stroll or have a chat with Huan Chenxue. They would also plant flowers and trees, seemingly leading a life where men tilled the farm and women weaved.
The spiritual energy was abundant, allowing Yi Yun's foundations to constantly turn more robust. His cultivation level was also increasing at a stable pace. Now, he was already beginning to aim for the fifth-floor Dao Palace realm.
In the hundred years of Yi Yun's growth, he was either embroiled in battles or risking his life in mystic realms. When he wasn't doing those things, he would be secluding himself in chambers, having walls as companions while experiencing long-lasting loneliness.
He did not know how long it had been since he could calm his heart down in such a manner, leading a calm and peaceful life. This was something Yi Yun had never experienced in the past.
At times, Yi Yun would also leave his residence and observe how the ordinary warriors of the Mirage Sea Realm lived. Here, people did not cut at each other's throats and there was a more honest and unsophisticated air. It seemed like a paradise.
Yi Yun's mind calmed down greatly in such an environment. In fact, when most warriors were in cultivation, they only spent a tiny portion of their time going out for experiential training, opportunity-seeking, and combat. They spent most of their lives leading ordinary days in their sects.
Yi Yun lacked such experiences so now, having savored it in detail, he managed to have a new comprehension of the martial way. With Huan Chenxue pointing out the imperfections in his Sword Dao, Yi Yun unknowingly seemed to touch the ethereal Sword Soul realm.
Finally, the day for the spatial nodes to open approached. That meant it was time for Yi Yun to leave.
Yi Yun found his trip to the Mirage Sea Realm reminiscent of a dream. Huan Chenxue was a woman that would only appear in dreams. She was mysterious and bizarre.
"When I gave you Mirage Snow, it was no longer in its ancient form. You can rest assured in using it that there's no need to worry that others will recognize it. Besides, even if Mirage Snow was in its original form, the number of people that can recognize it is a bare handful."
"As for the letter I gave you, find a person known as Old Snake when you reach Boundless Mountain and hand him the letter."
During Yi Yun's departure, Huan Chenxue, accompanied by Elder Mo, had come to send him off.
Old Snake?
Yi Yun was taken aback. The name was truly somewhat special.
"Miss Huan, I wonder, where does the map you gave me lead?"
"The final destination is…" Huan Chenxue exhaled lightly before speaking slowly, "You would call it the Sinkhole, but it's not the deepest depths of the Sinkhole. You will naturally know once you are there…"
Yi Yun's brows pricked up. Although he had his suspicions, Yi Yun still felt jolted when he heard Huan Chenxue actually say it. He was finally exploring this place that he had heard of so many a time.
Yi Yun knew that many of the 12 Empyrean Heavens's experts were in the Sinkhole.
And the Sinkhole was mysterious and dangerous. There were many chaotic spaces and ancient ruins.
"Thank you, Miss Huan. I have benefited greatly over the past few years. You have answered many of my questions."
When Yi Yun left that island, he felt a sense of longing. He felt a little reluctant to leave the calm lifestyle he had enjoyed for the past few years.
Elder Mo watched Yi Yun, who was about to embark on his journey. He had a complicated expression, for he knew that Yi Yun possessed extraordinary talent but there was always uncertainty in the world. It was unknown what lay ahead of the youth.
Yi Yun bade Huan Chenxue and Elder Mo farewell once again. Following that, he stepped out of the Mirage Sea Realm with determination and, with guidance from the map, he found the first spatial node. He opened it with his spatial dimension laws.
A black spatial rift opened and Yi Yun's figure seemed to be devoured by the chaotic void as he vanished instantly.
"Yi Yun," Huan Chenxue looked up into the sky and whispered. "I hope that everything will go smoothly for you…"
A sinkhole's original definition is the bottomless nadir of the sea. Legends said that the Sinkhole was there even before the 12 Empyrean Heavens formed. The Sinkhole existed before the Empyrean Heavens.
In the records of the earliest 12 Empyrean Heavens canons: Billions of miles away from the east of the divine sea, there lay a ravine named the Sinkhole, which was as good as bottomless. Beneath the Sinkhole were spiritual lands to which everything converged…
The Sinkhole had been determined to be the endless extension of the Universe. Perhaps no one knew where the end of the Sinkhole lay.
The place Yi Yun was heading to was the boundary of the Sinkhole. The region was named the Calm Sea.
The Calm Sea was expansive and there was a continent in its middle and countless islands. They lay amid a gray sea.
The sea's surface remained a waveless calm, like a still well, no matter what sort of storms inundated it. People marveled at its unmoving calm, and hence gave it its name.
Yi Yun took nearly half a year to go from the Mirage Sea Realm to the Sinkhole. During this period, he would traverse countless spatial nodes and experience numerous spatial storms.
If he had lacked the necessary strength, it would have been impossible for him to travel through such a vast and chaotic space.
According to the map, Yi Yun had already reached the Calm Sea. He was looking for Calm Sea's Boundless Mountain. Logically speaking, it was supposed to be in the vicinity. However, Yi Yun failed to find any traces of the mountain.
In fact, the map that Huan Chenxue gave him was dated. Yi Yun was unsure if the local name of Boundless Mountain had changed after such a long period of time.
He reached South Village, an extremely ordinarily named place. This was engraved on a stone monument that was erected in a slanted manner in front of a desolate village.
The stone monument was rather old and had been eroded by the vestiges of time. The words had turned blurry.
When Yi Yun landed in this village, he was somewhat astonished.
He never expected the Sinkhole to have such a rundown place. The village only had a dozen or so mud houses scattered within it. The fields were barren and the malnourished soil did not seem like it could grow anything.
At that moment, Yi Yun saw a girl dressed in coarse clothing walking over from the fields.
The girl was carrying a basket as though she had returned from plucking some wild fruits. Her black hair cascaded down across her shoulders and lightly patted her hips as she walked.
She looked about seventeen, young and vibrant. She held her leggings up and had nimble and agile footsteps.
Momentarily, Yi Yun fell into a daze. The scene before him reminded him of his transmigration almost a hundred years ago. Back in the Cloud Wilderness, he had seen his elder sister, Jiang Xiaorou, walking just like that in the fields.
The girl kept to herself as she walked, as though she did not notice Yi Yun.
"Excuse me, Miss." Yi Yun suddenly blurted out. "Would you happen to know of a place named Boundless Mountain?"
The girl halted and sized Yi Yun up with her clear aqueous eyes. She said crisply, "Are you a foreigner? This poor village is dilapidated, so have you gotten lost? I do not know of any Boundless Mountain."
The girl's voice was very sweet like the trickling sounds of spring water in the mountains.
"Oh?" Upon hearing this reply, Yi Yun had a strange impression of the girl. His brows moved a little as though he was deep in thought.
"Hey, Old Lad, it's getting dark soon. Why don't you rest your legs in the village? There are more than a few Fey beasts lurking around here."
Having said that, the girl smiled sweetly and ignored Yi Yun. She walked towards a dilapidated wooden house.
Yi Yun did not need to rest his feet but he was curious about the place, so he followed the girl into the house.
Inside the house, there was simple furniture which all looked to be in terrible condition.
At that moment, the girl used a coarse porcelain bowl to scoop a bowl of well water from a water vat. She handed it to Yi Yun and said with a smile, "Have some water."
The water that had just been drawn from a well seemed to suffuse a cool fragrance.
When Yi Yun took the bowl of water, it felt like sandpaper in his hands. He examined the coarse porcelain bowl in a way that made it impossible to guess what his thoughts were.
"Miss, it's fine if you do not know about Boundless Mountain. Are there any mountains in the area? Perhaps the mountain I'm looking for has changed its name."
"How can there be any mountain? Just go out and you will see it's an endless desolate plain with Fey beasts scattered everywhere. Even the trees will eat people. Old Lad, I urge you to not walk outside without good reason. You might not be able to return if you venture too far out."
The girl spoke as she stood up to start a fire in the fireplace. She dexterously added a few slabs of timber.
Soon, the flame burned fiercely. The bedroom in the house was filled with a heat that effused mortal vibes. Warriors had strong bodies so there was naturally no need to use fire to resist the cold.
"Well…" Yi Yun nodded. "Miss, what you say makes sense. Then, I'll bid you farewell."
Yi Yun stood up as he spoke. He placed the bowl down and turned to leave.
The girl glanced at Yi Yun oddly as her porcelain-white hand picked up a bamboo basket beside her. "Old Lad, why are you in a rush to leave? Aren't you resting your legs here? Although my place is a little rundown, it can shelter you from the elements. I have even started a fire."
"There's no need. You mentioned that there are Fey beasts everywhere here. Even the trees eat people. I think it's safer I spend the night elsewhere."
"Heh heh heh." The girl suddenly let out a sweet laughter. "You do not seem to be an ordinary old lad. What gave it away?"
It was still the same crisp spring-like voice, but the bamboo basket in the girl's hands had transformed into a coiled venomous snake.
The snake was twined around the girl's arm, sticking its tongue out at Yi Yun. As for the porcelain bowl beside Yi Yun's hand, it had also transformed. The refreshing well water had turned into poison. There was even a tiny red snake swimming within.

Cameron Tan wouldn't have even been in Greece if he hadn't gotten a 'D' in Art History.
Instead of spending the summer after college completing his training as a Prophus operative, he's doing a study abroad program in Greece, enjoying a normal life – spending time with friends and getting teased about his crush on a classmate.
Then the emergency notification comes in: a Prophus agent with vital information needs immediate extraction, and Cameron is the only agent on the ground, responsible for getting the other agent and data out of the country. The Prophus are relying on him to uncomplicate things.
Easy, except the rival Genjix have declared all-out war against the Prophus, which means Greece is about to be a very dangerous place. And the agent isn't the only person relying on Cameron to get them safely out of the country – his friends from the study abroad program are, too. Cameron knows a good agent would leave them to fend for themselves. He also knows a good person wouldn't. Suddenly, things aren't easy at all.
The Days of Tao is the latest in the popular Tao series from award-winning author, Wesley Chu. Following after The Rebirths of Tao, this novella carries on the fast-moving and fun tone of the series.
The Days of Tao by Wesley Chu

The Days of Tao is a fast-moving thriller and a snapshot coming of age story, which follows Cameron Tan, an agent-in-training, as he fumbles through a sudden mission. I've only read a few alien host stories but I liked the nurturing mentorship/friendship between Cameron and his Tao. The symbiotic relationship between the two was fun. Though I think Cameron leans on Tao a little too much but Tao still gives him space to make his own choices and mistakes, which probably makes the individual learning process better.
There's a young adult feel to how Cameron navigates fledgling friendships, relationships and betrayals. I liked the diverse cast of his friends and possible enemies. The ending piqued my interest enough for the next installment. (I will catch up on the previous ones in the mean time.)
*A copy of The Lives of Tao (the first book in the Tao series) is sitting on my shelf, so this novella has pushed it up the TBR pile. My inner chronologist always prompts me to go back to the beginning of stories.
Novella asides/tangents:
I enjoy how novellas introduce me to new universes. (One of the first novellas I ever read/loved was On a Red Station, Drifting by Aliette de Bodard. I've got to read Binti by Nnedi Okorafor at some point too).
The Days of Tao was a fun introduction for me into this universe. Though it still is a continuation of another story in the series. There are clear references to past events, which aren't too difficult to follow for a new reader.

Will inland rail stimulate business opportunities for regional Australia?
Jaimie Lovell,
|Roger Fletcher,
Fletcher International Exports
Q1. The Australian Rail Track Corporation claims that inland rail will be a 'catalyst for complementary private sector investments'. New regional terminals and freight precincts could become hubs for regional manufacturing and commerce. What new business opportunities for agriculture would be stimulated by inland rail development and how much a flow on effect would this have for regional population and employment?
Jaimie Lovell, NSW Farmers' Association
There is no doubt that the inland rail project, delivered right, will stimulate new opportunities for regional businesses. Access to an upgraded, quicker track with efficient and reliable delivery of goods to key eastern ports will certainly create manufacturing and commercial opportunities along the route. The efficiency of the system will come from the ability to run longer, heavier trains with good access to key ports – driving competition between both ports and service providers located at the same port, lowering supply chain costs of Australian agricultural exports.
In NSW, the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) identifies potential new locations for intermodal hubs at Moree (1) (a grain basin), Narrabri (coal and agricultural products) and Cootamundra and the ability to enhance service offerings at existing hubs like Parkes (2). Whilst only a small portion of the goods carried on the network is projected to be agricultural – this is a significant portion of NSW's existing agricultural freight task which can be delivered more competitively, putting more dollars in farmers' pockets (see below Q3).
Across Australia the food and grocery sector employs 1.1 million people directly and indirectly and around a third of these are in regional Australia. As of July 2015, there were close to 100,000 people employed in the food and grocery processing sector in NSW, generating almost $4,758 million in food and grocery exports over 2014/15. Unsurprisingly, the LGAs with the largest percentage of employees from the food and grocery industry are regional LGAs. As we shift into 'the dining boom', it is vital that we build more opportunities to develop the food and grocery sector and, logistically, inland rail would play a vital role.
Roger Fletcher, Fletcher International Exports
We struggle to see where any new business or opportunities would be created especially in NSW due to the inland railway. It is arguable that freight costs may be even higher to export through Queensland and Victoria. Farmers and rural businesses in NSW already have very efficient supply chains set up direct to the nearest ports, located in NSW. In turn, I do not think any additional stimulation of business development or growth would be attributed to the inland railway due to a higher logistics cost structure.
Q2. As well as the direct financial benefits that inland rail might deliver, there are many intangible benefits that would also be delivered. Is business confidence an undervalued aspect of inland rail expansion? How important is a large government investment such as inland rail for signalling to farmers and other stakeholders that there is long-term support for agriculture, and rural and regional Australia?
Jaimie Lovell, NSW Farmers' Association
The key to catalysing private investment in regional hubs will be lowering the risk of investment for private enterprise. This requires government to back the proposal with significant upfront funding.
To date both sides of politics have committed almost $900 million towards developing the business case for the line, to acquire the necessary land corridor, and to continue pre-construction works and undertake due diligence activities.
However pleasing a bipartisan commitment to the idea of the project is, the total cost will be an estimated $10 billion over 10 years; with current pledges falling short of actually laying any new track.
How (and when) the government chooses to fund the balance of the $10 billion is the key question. The budget announcement included $3.8 million for market testing for private sector funding, which suggests that the government is still hoping for a sugar daddy in the context of the overall Federal Budget outlook. However, Public Private Partnerships tend to drive quite tight bargains – and if the private sector bought in too early, the government might well end up wearing all the risk and paying quite a high price. With interest rates so low at the moment, it is almost criminal for the government not to be borrowing and paying much of the upfront costs themselves.
Private investors are much more likely to come on board on more favourable terms once the risk of investment is lowered. The intermodal hubs would be one such private sector investment which would flow from a government-funded build. Other, related industries will also invest in complimentary ventures to take advantage of new infrastructure.
Roger Fletcher, Fletcher International Exports
It is important that government does send the right signals to farmers showing support. The inland railway in my mind does not support farmers. It supports domestic freight moving between Brisbane and Melbourne, but even this freight task it will poorly cater for, as most of this freight is overnight just in time point to point freight, where trucks are more effective in meeting customer needs. The inland railway in my opinion will only support heavy non-time-sensitive freight. There is already a rail line linking Brisbane and Melbourne, so this style of containerised freight is already moving by rail through Sydney. To attract more freight onto rail and redirect it internally is seems ludicrous.
Q3. One argument used by advocates for an expanded inland rail is that it will open up new market opportunities and supply chains and bring farmers closer to consumers. Do you believe that inland rail will be any better than the current transport options for facilitating new markets and supply chains?
Jaimie Lovell, NSW Farmers' Association
The government has chosen to back the ARTC's proposal of a mix of upgraded track (brownfield infrastructure) and new sections of track (greenfield infrastructure). With the aim of getting the travel distance between Brisbane and Melbourne down to under 24 hours and, with the capacity to double stack (within 10 years), the project represents a significant upgrade on the current network. However, the patchwork nature of the project will create some challenges, as will a project that stretches through three states.
The benefit, however, is that connections to the existing country rail network will be able to be maintained and, in fact, enhanced. This would create more efficiency and competitive tension along the whole network. Currently, Western and Central New South Wales, Riverina and Southern New South Wales transport up to 3 million tonnes of grain to Port Kembla (with up to 2.9 million tonnes on rail). Western and Central New South Wales and New England transport up to 1.8 million tonnes to the Port of Newcastle (with approximately 1.2 million tonnes on rail).
However, there is more than grain that could use rail and more grain that could travel on rail. New England, Darling Downs and Toowoomba transport up to 2.1 million tonnes of grain to the Port of Brisbane (with approximately 0.4 million tonnes on rail). This last example shows that there is real opportunity for port competition from certain sectors of the network.
The current inland rail project proposal is designed to be 'road competitive', aiming to be able to match or better the 24 hour delivery time between Melbourne and Brisbane currently delivered by the road transport sector. The projected 22 hour delivery for inland rail is designed to get more freight onto rail and pick up business from the supermarket sector as well. If inland rail is delivered before the trucking industry invests in new infrastructure, like driverless trucks, then they will become co-investors in the project.
Build it (soon), and they will come.
Roger Fletcher, Fletcher International Exports
No, I do not believe any new opportunities will be created for farmers out of this project. I fear this will be a serious waste of tax-payers' money and in fact only draw away from NSW economic development. Already significant investment has been put forward on a needs basis to improve access to export markets from regional centres over the shortest possible distance. To think in NSW that our agricultural products can be more efficiently exported through Brisbane or Melbourne cannot be serious.
1. ARTC expects that grain growers to the north of the Moree region will take advantage of a standard gauge connection to the Port of Brisbane, diverting approximately 500,000 tonnes from road and road-narrow gauge rail alternatives.

Michael Savage predicted the chaos that is Obama's legacy. Now he tells us whether the destruction can be stopped! The prophetic author of the bestselling Government Zero, Dr. Michael Savage is back with his most urgent and powerful work.
Listeners to Dr. Savage's top-rated radio talk show, The Savage Nation, know him to be an articulate and engaged spokesman for traditional American values of borders, language, and culture.
Now, after eight divisive years of Barack Obama, Dr. Savage lays out an irrefutable case for how our nation has been undermined by terrorists from without, by anarchists from within, by a president and politicians with contempt for the Constitution and the law, and by a complicit liberal media.
With words and topics that are as insightful as they are timely, he makes an ironclad case for the dangers we face from Hillary Clinton and her fellow travelers in the progressive movement. He also explains why Donald Trump may be one of the two best hopes for America's future as we try to regain control of our government, our country, and our national soul.
The other hope? As Dr. Savage explains in some of his most heartfelt and passionate words, it is we, the people: the ordinary "Eddies," as he calls them-motivated, roused, and engaged.
This book is about much more than an election. It is a veteran commentator and celebrated raconteur providing a blueprint for how to regain our cherished freedoms and our national identity . . . before they are lost forever.

Jeremiah was a young man when the Lord called him into being a prophet. It wasn't an easy thing to do at first, as he was young, and secondly, he had to warn Israel and let them know what the Lord was saying to the nations. Being a prophet meant he had to face kings, and a great deal of persecution.
It wasn't long before he started experiencing the weight of his calling and ministry, as persecution, hardship and opposition started to face him. I'm not sure what his expectations are, but sometimes he questioned God about his suffering.
In Chapter 11, Jeremiah is looking at himself. He's focused on the troubles that surround him. This overwhelms him and he almost sounds like one who's drowning in the chaos of his suffering. Jeremiah's enemies are seeking his life, and, as he looks at the troubles around him, he can't see a way out.
In Chapter 12, Jeremiah's focus shifts from himself, to God. Amid the chaos, he turns and calls out to God. God, in His mercy, answers him. Though Jeremiah's situation didn't change, the voice of the Lord speaking to him brought him assurance and comfort. He'd felt the losses associated with his calling as a prophet, but now he understood the purposes of God for his suffering.
Sometimes, when we go through hardship, we can be like Jeremiah. We can feel cheated and hard-pressed. That's when the Lord doesn't want us to turn inward, but upward. He knows about our situation and cares.
The moment our focus shifts, we'll drown, like Peter stepping out of the boat and getting overwhelmed by the waves. But as we focus on the Lord, trusting in His grace, and looking up, He's there, stretching out His arms to help and support us. The situation might not change, but trusting in Him will bring a huge difference. And, hopefully, as you look back, you'll see the reason things happened the way they did.
Prayer: Lord, today I chose to lift my eyes to You. There are things in my life that are hard, and which I can't understand, and which I can't see the way out of, But You know everything. I'm willing to trust You and to focus on You today. Help me in my troubles. Help me to see Your hand at work in my life. In Jesus' name, Amen.
"Righteous are You, O LORD, when I plead with You; Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously? You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; They grow, yes, they bear fruit. You are near in their mouth but far from their mind. But You, O LORD, know me; You have seen me."

Motherhood and Anxiety
For most of my adult life I have struggled on-and-off with anxiety, but nothing prepared me for the emotional roller coaster that I would experience while going through infertility and IVF. The question "Will I ever be a mom?" was a mainstay in my mind for over a year until I got pregnant with my twins. Then, during my first trimester, my anxiety turned to fear that my pregnancy was too good to be true and that it was all going to be ripped away from me. I felt better once I hit the 12-week mark, but only until my first pre-term labor scare at 27 weeks. At that point, I was faced with the all-too-real worry of my babies being born early and having to spend months in the NICU. Can you sense a trend here? My entire journey to motherhood was fraught with anxiety and for good reason.
A Fear of Postpartum Depression
One of my many fears during pregnancy was that I would end up with postpartum depression. Fun fact: women who conceive via assisted reproductive technologies are more susceptible to PPD and so are moms of multiples, so right off the bat I checked off a bunch of the boxes that put me at an increased risk. As it turned out, while I was on the lookout for postpartum depression I got hit with postpartum anxiety instead.
Living with Postpartum Anxiety
No one tells you this, but when you're home alone with two newborn babies that don't do much more than eat, sleep, and poop, you're in your own head a lot. You start asking yourself, "Am I doing this right?" When you're a first time mom it's only natural to question yourself, but when my twins were about 9 weeks old I started doubting my ability as a mom more than ever before. This time, though, it didn't feel natural. In the span of one day I went from thinking, "Am I holding each one of them enough?" to "What if something happens to them on my watch?" My thoughts quickly turned obsessive, to the point where I was afraid to be alone with my own kids. It was the most scared I've ever been in my life, and I couldn't even pinpoint why.
Seeking Help
Thankfully, I recognized something was very wrong and got help right away thanks to my kids' pediatrician, who pointed me in the right direction when it seemed like no one else was willing to, and my therapist, who assured me that postpartum anxiety (not just depression) is in fact real and common. After a few weeks of therapy and medication, the fog lifted and I finally felt like myself again.
A Call to All New Moms
New moms, I don't tell this story to scare you, but rather to bring awareness to something that so many of us experience and yet so few talk openly about. Often times as a new mom, especially after a long battle with infertility, you feel like you have to be happy all of the time, but that's not always reality and there's no need to suffer in silence. Seek help if you need it, and be the hero your children need. You will thank yourself for it later.


text: And now for number 29 - the Classic Miss Sicily from a Dolce and Gabbana Tribute release. I bought it as it really looked like a good classic and then I never actually ended up wearing it as one - so here it is today in a classic black look! It's a different combination for me, but I quite like it and think this dress is definitely an interesting piece. Plus I have become quite fond of these SubCouture shoes, they are pretty adorable^ And getting to the end of those all black looks I had planned, just one more and then I can try inject more colour into these posts!

21 February 2009
I'm looking forward to the chance to get some code done unabated by distractions of living with somebody: synchronized meals, activities, favorite TV shows, etc. No disractions. Not if I can help it.
Often, I will run across an idea or concept that I'd like to explore but don't have the time to immediately pursue. I acrrue these ideas in an email thread sent to myself. I call it my "negative resume" - a listing of all the things I don't have any experience and can't claim to know.
When that list gets too long (for me that's about 10 items), I start popping things off the queue, attacking each entry. The items on the list are usually innocuous. Occasionally I'll add significant changes / ideas that involve starting in on a rapidly new technology. In this case I make sure to either qualify a very specific, obtainable success scenario, or I diminish the other suggestions and move them to another list. In a way, the process is very much like updating a bug tracker.
I'm tracking bugs in my knowledge. Deciding which bug to remedy first requires prioritization.
You can imagine how complicated this process was before I added, "learn basics of Project Managment" to a list!
The last list included the following: "try out H2 database", "See if you can get Seam Framework 2.0 working under Maven," "check out Hibernate Search," "Read a few chapters from Manning's iPhone In Action," and so on. I don't like to let more than 10 things accrue because then there's no chance I could get it push through all of them in a weekend - even with intense focus (which I am not usually blessed with on weekends, above and beyond my day-job hours. )
The sentiment behind these bursts of learning is simple. As my dad always said (I'm sure he still does, he's just no had reason to recite of late...): "It's a sinch by the inch, hard by yard."
This weekend I've got another such list. I'm looking forward to address some of the items on this list with no direction or instinct besides the chorus of prioritizing voices in my head.
What do you want to learn?

Songs of Iman On the Roads Of Pakistan is a series of talks given by Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri during a tour of the country in 1982. Shaykh Fadhlalla speaks out on the central theme of the conflict between the pursuit of Western technologic and materialistic goals and a spiritual way of life promising fulfillment by seeking knowledge of God and living the Way of Submission, Islam. This divergence between Iman and Kufr taking place in Pakistan is only a reflection of a condition occurring everywhere else in the Muslim world, and indeed in the rest of the world today.
This volume of collected talks, which includes a detailed commentary on Surah al-Infitar (Surah 82), is relevant to anyone who is seeking a way out of the chaos of a collapsing, amoral Kufr society, and a clear guidance and knowledge of an alternative way of living -- a code of conduct that will enable him to travel with humility and purpose toward his Creator and the fulfillment of his noble destiny.

Skoda Auto might have replaced the Rapid range with the Scala in Europe and several other markets, but the company will continue to have the Skoda Rapid nameplate in select markets like Russia and China. Expected to unveil the next-gen Skoda Rapid sometime in late 2019, the carmaker has now released the first official teaser image for the new-gen model. While in India, we only get the Rapid sedan, globally, Skoda offers the car in hatchback and Estate versions as well.

Skoda Rapid
Based on the design sketch, the second-generation Skoda Rapid will take some inspiration from the new Scala as well, especially, the front section with the butterfly grille and the sharp, angular headlamps. The sketch also reveals the muscular character lines on the bonnet and the bumper, which features horizontal foglamps. The design sketch also shows a set of twin-five-spoke alloy wheels with low profile tyres. Of course, the production model will be a little less dramatic visually.
Also Read: Skoda Rapid Hits 1 Lakh Production Milestone In India
It's also likely that the new-gen model will be based on the Volkswagen Group's MQB platform, and if that is the case, Skoda might even consider India as one of the potential markets for the new Rapid, given the fact the company is developing an Indianised version of the platform - the MQB A0-IN. As of now, the new platform is only expected to spawn the company's new compact SUV, which will be previewed at the Auto Expo 2020.
As for the upcoming new-gen Skoda Rapid, as already mentioned, the Czech carmaker's Russian division is expected to reveal the car by the end of this year. Production is likely to happen at the Volkswagen Group's Kaluga plant near Moscow, where the Polo is also assembled.

OBIEE 11G Using a Presentation Variable
A presentation variable can be created as part of the process for creating a column prompt or a variable prompt. When the presentation varaible is part of a column prompt, it is associated with a specific column and takes on that column's value. It is part of a variable prompt, you define the values that the prompt can have as it is not associated with any specific column. The name and value of the presentation variable is determined by the user when it is initially declared or when it is referenced in the analysis, dashboard, or agent.
Note: You have already created and used a presentation variable when you added a Narrative view to your analysis.
To add a presentation variable using a variable prompt, perform the following steps:
1 .
Create a new variable dashboard prompt that creates a Sales Representative presentation variable.
a. Click New > Dashboard Prompt and select Sample Sales as the subject area.
2 .
Click New > Variable Prompt.
The New Prompt dialog box appears.
3 .
a. Accept Presentation Variable as the default prompt type.
b. In the text box to the right of the drop-down list for the prompt type, enter the same variable that you entered in the Static Text editor, VarSalesRep.
c. Enter Sales Representative Name: in the Label text box.
d. Select Choice List for User Input.
e. Select All Column Values for Choice List Values.
The dialog box should look like this:
4 .
a. Click Select Column and, in the Select Column dialog box, select Sales Person > E1 Sales Rep Name.
b. Click OK. The dialog box should look like this:
Expand the Options section.
5 .
Select Specific Value from the "Default selection" drop-down list.
Click the Select Values icon.
6 .
In the Select Values dialog box, select Angela Richards and then, click OK.
7 .
The New Prompt dialog box should look like this:
Click OK. The newly created variable prompt is displayed in the prompts definition list.
8 .
Save the prompt as SalesRep Variable Prompt in your Regional Revenue folder.
9 .
Close the Preview window.
Create an analysis that uses the VarSalesRep presentation variable in a Static Text view and in a Filter.
A Static Text view adds static text in the results.
Create an analysis by selecting the following columns:
2. Add ascending column sorts in this sequence: C50 Region, C52 Country Name, and E1 Sales Rep Nameas shown below:
The Criteria tabbed page should look like this after adding the sorts:
3 .
Select the Results tabbed page.
4 .
Select New View > Other Views > Static Text.
5 .
Move the Static Text view above the Table view.
Click the Edit View icon on the Static Text view. The Static Text editor appears.
6 .
In the Static Text editor, reference the VarSalesRep variable. Enter the following syntax in the Static Text pane: This analysis is for the Sales Rep @{VarSalesRep}.
The syntax for referencing a Presentation variable is as follows:
@{variables.variablename}[format]{defaultvalue} or @{scope.variables['variablename']}
variablename is the name of the presentation or request variable
format (optional) is a format mask dependent upon the data type of the variable, for example #, ##0, MM/DD/YY hh:mm:ss. (Note that the format is not applied to the default value.)
default value (optional) is a constant or variable reference, indicating a value to be used if the variable referenced by variablename is not populated
scope identifies the qualifiers for the variable.
You need to specify the scope when a variable is used at multiple levels (analyses, dashboard pages, and dashboards) and you want to access a specific value. (If you do not specify the scope, then the order of precedence is analyses, dashboard pages, and dashboards.
@{variables.MyFavoriteRegion}{EASTERN REGION}
Observe that your entry is previewed below the Static Text text box. Click Done.
7 .
Save your analysis as Sales Reps by Region and Country.
Your analysis should look like this:
8 .
a. Select the Criteria tabbed page.
b. In the Filters pane, click the Create a Filter icon and select "Sales Person "."E1 Sales Rep Name ".
9 .
a. In the New Filter dialog box, click Add More Options and select Presentation Variable.
b. In the Variable Expr field, enter the variable name, VarSalesRep. Notice that you can also specify a default for the variable, but in this case the default is driven by the variable prompt, which is set to default to "Angela Richards".
c. Click OK. The filter should look like this:
10 .
Select the Results tabbed page. Because the variable dashboard prompt has not been run, the VarSalesRep presentation variable has not been populated with a value. Because of this, no results from the analysis meet the filter requirement.
Save the analysis.
11 .
Add the analysis Sales Reps by Region and Country and the newly created variable prompt to the Customer Detail dashboard.
12 .
Open the dashboard Customer Detail from the Regional Revenue folder, then click Page Options > Edit Dashboard.
13 .
Add a new column next to Column 1, and then navigate to the Sales Reps by Region and Country analysis and drag it to the new column.
14 .
Navigate to SalesRep Variable Prompt in the catalog pane, and drag the prompt above the Sales Reps by Region and Country analysis. Save the dashboard and run it.
The Dashboard view looks like this:
15 .
Click the Collapse icon for the first column to minimize it.
The dashboard runs and the variable dashboard prompt is preset to the default value, Angela Richards, which in turn appears in the Static Text view as expected and is used to filter the embedded analysis results. The value of a presentation variable is populated by the variable prompt. That is, each time you select a value in the variable prompt, the value of the presentation variable is set to that value.
Click the drop-down list for the dashboard prompt, and select Chris Jones.
Click Apply. The dashboard displays the presentation variable as Chris Jones.
This concludes the topic of Presentation Variables and Filters.

A Duplicate Favorite Song Discovered: Horrors!!!
For the first time in the history of "My Favorite Songs," I have discovered with profound grief that there is a duplicate song; recently, in my Tony Awards tribute back in June, I highlighted "Put on a Happy Face" from the musical "Bye Bye Birdie." Alas, back in 2006, I listed it under its song title, rather than the musical from which it emerged, as "Song of the Day #696. I've only discovered this because I'm preparing to do another mini-tribute in a couple of weeks to one of the giants of the music industry and the Great American Songbook, on the occasion of his 90th birthday, another Tony, if you will: Tony Bennett, and I note his version of that favorite song twice! HORRORS!
So, the last "Song of the Day #1364" has been renamed "Song of the Day #1364a" and the next song (on the occasion of the next Saturday Night Dance Party series) will be renamed "Song of the Day #1364b." And we will resume our numbering sequence at #1365 right after that!
Hanging my head in shame, I am simply going to "Put on a Happy Face," and keep singing and dancing...
With a smile,

What is composting?
is a controlled process of decomposition of organic material. Naturally
occurring soil organisms recycle nitrogen, potash, phosphorus, and other
plant nutrients as they convert the material into humus.
Benefits of composting
Composting is a convenient, beneficial and inexpensive way to handle
your organic waste and help the environment. Composting:
reduces the volume of garbage requiring disposal
saves money for you and your community in reduced soil purchases and
reduced local disposal costs, and
enriches the soil. Using compost adds essential nutrients, improves soil structure,
which allows better root growth, and increases moisture and nutrient
retention in the soil. Plants love compost!
What you should compost?
Yard wastes such as leaves,
grass clippings and weeds make excellent compost. Fruit and
vegetable scraps, plus food wastes such as coffee grounds, tea bags, and
eggs shells, can be composted. To keep animals and odors out of your
pile, do not add meat, bones, fatty food wastes (such as cheese, grease
and oils), dog and cat litter, and diseased plants. Do not add invasive
weeds and weeds that have gone to seed to the pile. Elements of a good
compost pile With these principles in mind, you can convert your organic
wastes into resources by turning your spoils to soil.

Fiber Technology
When using an optical fiber for high power transmission, one of the main topics is to handle power losses due to misalignment, back reflections or damaged optics in the beam path. Generally the main weak points in the fiber itself are the entrance and exit surfaces, and the area where the buffer and jacket enter the fiber.
Mode stripper
In all Optoskand fiber optic cables a mode stripper solution is used to clean the cladding from unwanted back-reflected radiation before the buffer/jacket enters the fiber. It makes the radiation leak out of the cladding where it is easier to dissipate and cool away.
This technology has been used since the very first generation of the Optoskand fiber optic cables.
Quartz block
All Optoskand fiber optic cables are equipped with a quartz block at the fiber end. This results in three main advantages:
- Larger entrance surface is giving a lower power density on the fiber end surface.
- Mechanical mounting of the fiber is easier and results in a more precise position of the fiber.
- Enable the use of AR coating, thereby decreasing transmission losses to the order of 1-2%.
The larger end surface technology has been used since 1994.
Internal cooling
In some of the Optoskand fibers (QBH and QD) the volume behind the quartz block is filled with circulating cooling water. This means that the radiation removed from the cladding by the mode stripper is directly absorbed in water, rather than being absorbed in a metal part that is water-cooled. This technology has proved to be very efficient and power losses in the range of kilowatts can be cooled away.
Basic fiber optics
Even if the fiber optic technology seems to be a new technology, the principle was discovered more than 100 years ago. In 1870 an English physicist found that light could be guided through a jet of water.
The principle used is called "Total Internal Reflection" and arises when a light beam in a medium with higher refractive index compared to the surrounding hits the boundary surface at a small angle. This reflection is almost "perfect" and even after a large number of reflections one can hardly see any lost of energy.
In an optical fiber the part with the higher reflective index is called the "core" and the material, with lower reflective index, surrounding the core, is called the "cladding". For high power applications, only fibers with a core made of pure fused silica are used. The most common design surrounds the core with a cladding made of doped silica. Outside the cladding, there are at least two more layers to protect the fiber and make it bendable the "buffer" and the "jacket".
The basic principle for the high transmission through the fiber is, as described, total internal reflection. This works only up to a certain angle, and as a result the fiber has a maximum acceptance angle (aacc), it can transmit without losses. The angle depends on the refractive indexes of the core and the cladding.
The larger difference, the larger angle can be transmitted. Very often it talks about the Numerical Aperture (NAfiberacc), of the fiber, which is defined as:
NAfiberacc = sin(aacc)
The Numerical Aperture of a fiber is given by:
NAfiberacc = √((ncore)² - (ncladding)²)
where ncore and ncladding are the refractive index of the core and cladding respectively.
NAfiberacc represents the maximum angle that can be transmitted by the fiber without losses.

In my quest to focus more on academic work this year, I'm ploughing through papers in psychology and philosophy. Without a university email address this is unfortunately quite expensive, but them's the breaks when you're an independent scholar.
This week I read two papers: The Ethical Relevance of the Unconscious in Philosophy, Ethics and Humanities in Medicine, by Farisco & Evers; and Does It Matter When We Want To Be Alone? Exploring Developmental Timing Effects in the Implications of Unsociability in New Ideas in Psychology, by Coplan, Ooi & Baldwin.
The Ethical Relevance of the Unconscious wasn't what I was expecting. I have a feeling I just read the title, thought it sounded interesting, and didn't read the abstract before I downloaded it. This meant I ended up reading a paper that's not directly relevant to my research areas, but it was interesting all the same.
I was expecting a paper on our unconscious thought processes and how these impact on our decision-making, and how this might affect any ethical questions with which we're struggling. What I got, however, was a fascinating glimpse into the world of disorders of consciousness.
'Disorders of consciousness', or DOCs, is a catch-all term for patients in comas and vegetative or minimally conscious states. Currently when end-of-life decisions are being made, quality of life is naturally one of the most discussed topics. Setting aside the fact that it's difficult to gauge another person's quality of life even if they can communicate with you, there are certain things most of us agree on that increase quality of life and usually decrease the desire to end life. Arguably the most obvious of these is cognitive functioning at a high level, for example being able to read, reason, and pursue goals.
It seems self-evident that someone in a state of minimal consciousness or coma wouldn't be able to do those things, but recent research suggests otherwise. As Farisco & Evers point out in the paper, subliminal information can drive executive functions – meaning that stimulating patients' unconscious minds may aid in their recovery – and even beyond this, the unconscious is in fact able to perform surprisingly high level cognitive functions, including cognitive control, pursuit of goals, and reasoning.
Suddenly it's not so obvious how we should be defining 'quality of life', is it?
The paper has some interesting recommendations for how medical practitioners should deal with patients with DOCs, and I can imagine it's probably making some waves in the medical community. So even though it's not the paper I expected it to be, I'm still definitely glad I read it.
The second paper I read was about solitude, which isn't something I've researched in any depth so far but is definitely an interest of mine, so I can see myself writing about it in the future.
Coplan et al. have been through an extensive review of the literature on solitude, looking at 25 studies of people who prefer to spend their time alone. They put forward a theoretical model of developmental timing effects for unsociability, implying that it matters when and why someone decides they prefer spending time alone.
This might seem like an obvious point, but it's been largely ignored so far: one of the limitations of Coplan's paper is that so many other studies didn't fully distinguish between people who spent time alone because they were socially anxious or excluded for some other reason, and those who did so because they wanted to.
Coplan et al. also make the important distinction between low sociability – the lack of a strong desire to spend time with others – and unsociability – the non-fearful preference for solitude.
They make some interesting points about identity formation, and about how there are certain times in our lives when we're more expected to be sociable than others. Children of primary school age are often expected to spend time in groups, and those who choose to be alone are seen as 'weird' or 'outsiders', whereas adolescents' leisure activities often have quite a strong tendency towards solitude even if they spend some time hanging out with their friends too.
I'd love to take a closer look at how this is mediated by social media: so many young people spend a huge proportion of their time online now that true solitude is perhaps harder to attain than ever. Plus, it's difficult to work out where to draw the line between being alone and being with others who aren't physically present: is a person alone when they're playing an MMORPG? When they're on social media? When they're reading a blog? If they're not alone when they're reading a blog, are they alone when they're reading a book? Why?
The paragraph that made me think the most was the one that focused on identity formation:
"[I]t has been argued that over the course of adolescence, solitude emerges as a constructive domain of expertise, particularly for important developmental processes related to individuation and identity formation."
The idea being that adolescence is the time when we're forming our identities and working out who we're probably going to be for the rest of our lives. I wonder, however, how much of that is because we have more alone time in adolescence, and because we're encouraged to think about what's important to us and how we want our lives to go?
Once we've left adolescence, many of us end up on the career-mortgage-babies conveyor belt, leaving precious little time for solitude or reflection. Anecdotally, in my own circles I've noticed that the people I know who are self-employed (myself included) are much more prone to periods of reflection and to enacting the kinds of sudden changes you'd perhaps more often associate with adolescence than the people I know who work in "normal" jobs. If you're commuting to work every day, and you're working 9-5, getting home at 6, making dinner with your other half, tucking babies in bed or just watching Netflix because you're too exhausted from work to do anything else, it doesn't give you the space for reflection on your goals and how they might be changing. And without space, it's difficult to find the courage to make a leap, especially if that leap wouldn't be taken well by your colleagues.
Of course I might be completely wrong about this, but it's an interesting area for further exploration, I think. And if you're interested in solitude as a concept, check out the study: it'll give you food for thought and some suggestions for further reading.

Blog: 5 Harsh Lessons Scientology Can Teach Us - 2017-01-12
Regardless of how Scientology started, what it has become at the present is a total con job which promises potential converts a toolkit to solve the problems of their life and eventually a path to spiritual enlightenment and understanding. I say "con job" because over the past few years, it's become more and more obvious to the world at large that Scientology is not everything it claims to be and it cannot fulfill any of the lofty promises it makes.
What's even worse is that once someone joins its ranks, it is very hard to get out. For some who have broken away, they've found only pain and tragedy because Scientology has enforced its policy of disconnection on their friends and family, taking away their most precious loved ones simply because they exercised their right to think and act for themselves. Let's not even talk about the really nasty stuff, when Scientology tries to publicly smear you and starts stalking and harassing you if you speak out against it.
With all the exposure in documentaries, the media and on channels such as this, we have certainly learned that Scientology is something to stay the hell away from. But have we learned anything else? Are there any other lessons we can take away from this which apply to the big wide world? You bet there are. Because the methods that Scientology uses to manipulate new recruits and existing members are not unique to Scientology. Not by a long way. And if we recognize that, we can learn to watch for some of them in other places and not get drawn into situations we don't want to be in. Here are five harsh lessons I think we could all learn from Scientology:

Sure, you could order pizza, but why risk them messing up your order or having it delivered cold when you can make your own delicious deep-dish pizza casserole? There's no need to go to Chicago for their famed pies when you've got this fool-proof recipe at your disposal. It's got the four food groups covered, and doesn't even require dough from scratch (though feel free if you've got the time). And when pizza requires a fork, you know it's proper meal. Go ahead, dig in.
- 2 (28 oz) cans plum tomatoes, drained
- 2 (16 oz) packages refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage, cooked and drained of fat
- 1 (8 oz) package pepperoni slices
- 1 (8 oz) package mozzarella, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded parmesan
- 1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Preheat oven to 375º F, and liberally grease casserole dish.
- Roll out biscuit dough to create a pizza crust and place in baking dish (make sure it extends up the sides of dish).
- Layer mozzarella slices evenly on top of crust, followed by pepperoni and sausage.
- In a large bowl, crush the plum tomatoes with a fork, then stir in Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
- Spread tomato mixture evenly over pizza, then sprinkle with Italian cheese blend.
- Bake for 1 hour, or until dough is cooked through and cheese is bubbly.
- Enjoy!

Managing Editor
The College will be offering assistance to students affected by the government showdown for the spring 2019 semester.
According to The College's website, students can apply for a tuition deferral by completing a form.
Michelle Campbell, vice president for Institutional Advancement, said, "We put up a basic form on our website which students can submit. They have to provide some kind of documentation such as a furlough notice they received from the government, or their parents received. The form is routed to our student's account manager who will then work directly to these students to ensure that we meet their needs."
Campbell said the account department will assess each student specifically and then determine what the best approach to helping them is.
"We want the students to be able to start the spring semester and hopefully the government will be up and running. If the government shutdown is not over by then, we have to re-evaluate what the process will be internally," she said.

To this employee retention speaker and employee retention author all the talk about knowing who is fully engaged, who is somewhat engaged and who is disengaged is overblown. We then do a big study to see who those people are. I don't need some study to tell me that. All I have to do is walk down the aisles of an organization and start chatting people up or simply sit back like a fly on the wall and observe behavior to be able to tell you who falls into those categories.
When I walk down the aisle, I can see who is working, who is staring off in space and who is making work. Then, I take the numbers and quality that they are producing, and they generally match up. I don't need an engagement study to tell me who doesn't give a damn and is disengaged. Their attitude will tell me that. Granted, the engagement study gives us the big picture but will not tell us who is disengaged so we can do something about it. It takes a leader to do that! It takes a leader who will get out of their office, observe, and talk to their people.
If this employee retention trainer thinks someone is disengaged, I look at the numbers they are producing. Then I sit down and have an open conversation with that person. We discuss their production, their behaviors and their demeanor to both internal and external customers. That information will tell me everything. I will ask what they like about their job and the organization and what they don't. I will take this data and begin to develop an action plan with the disengaged employee to get them engaged. If I don't see progress, I make adjustments and then decide what actions need to be taken. If the person is still fully disengaged and shows no inclination to become engaged, I will exit them from the organization and replace with some who is engaged. It is pretty simple. I don't need some study to tell me what I can find out by leading proactively.
If your organization has a disengaged workforce, you probably aren't giving them C.R.A.P. C.R.A.P. sends the message you care and respect people. Often that can change a culture to one where people aren't disengaged because they know you care. It is far better to build a culture of C.R.A.P than it is to drive for results. If you build the culture…results will follow. If you do an engagement study…you get an engagement study!
