Whether you are considering a 12-hour fast, a two-day fast, or a daily low calorie fast, you should talk to your doctor before beginning a new eating regimen. Certain medical conditions may get worse with sudden changes in diet and some medications are affected by changing the foods you eat. A doctor can help you weigh the possible benefits and consequences of a fast to see if it's right for you.
Medical supervision is recommended for any fast over three days. Most alternative medicine practitioners, such as homeopaths, naturopathic doctors, and ayurvedic doctors, can supervise and monitor patients during fasts. Those performing extended fasts and those with health conditions may require blood, urine, and other tests during fasting. There are many alternative health clinics that perform medically supervised fasts as well. Some conventional medical doctors may also supervise patients during fasts. Costs and insurance coverage vary, depending on the doctor, clinic, and requirements of the patient.
When Jesus returns, fasting will be done. It's a temporary measure, for this life and age, to enrich our joy in Jesus and prepare our hearts for the next — for seeing him face to face. When he returns, he will not call a fast, but throw a feast; then all holy abstinence will have served its glorious purpose and be seen by all for the stunning gift it was.
The devil comes at us the same way. The devil never tells us that drinking alcohol can make a person an alcoholic. He never tells a person that smoking cigarettes can cause him or her to have lung cancer. He never tells a person that eating too much of the wrong foods can lead to chronic illness and premature death. The devil points out only short-term benefits, never long-term disasters.
Juice fasts are also used by many people, although these are not technically fasts. Juice fasts are less intensive than water fasts because the body doesn't reach the ketosis stage. The advantage of juice fasts is that fruit and vegetable drinks can supply extra energy and nutrients. People can fit a few days of juice fasting into their normal schedules without significant drops in energy. Juice fasts are also said to have cleansing and detoxifying effects. The disadvantage of juice fasts is that the body never gets to the ketosis stage, so these fasters are thought to lack the deep detoxification and healing effects of the water fast.
Fasting can take up a significant portion of the calendar year. The purpose of fasting is not to suffer, but according to Sacred Tradition to guard against gluttony and impure thoughts, deeds and words.[50] Fasting must always be accompanied by increased prayer and almsgiving (donating to a local charity, or directly to the poor, depending on circumstances). To engage in fasting without them is considered useless or even spiritually harmful.[47] To repent of one's sins and to reach out in love to others is part and parcel of true fasting.
"There's really no conclusive evidence that there's any benefit," Sasson says. The German Cancer Research Center study qualified its findings by noting that the positive results weren't noticeably better than those experienced by subjects who adopted a conventional calorie-reduction diet. In other words, it works, but not notably better than the alternative. (Sasson also offered a helpful list of individuals who should not give intermittent fasting a try: pregnant women and anyone with diabetes, cancer, or an eating disorder.)
How It Works: Fast for 14 (women) to 16 (men) hours each day, and then "feed" for the remaining eight to 10 hours. During the fasting period, you consume no calories. However, black coffee, calorie-free sweeteners, diet soda and sugar-free gum are permitted. (A splash of milk in your coffee won't hurt, either.) Most practitioners will find it easiest to fast through the night and into the morning. They usually break the fast roughly six hours after waking up. This schedule is adaptable to any person's lifestyle, but maintaining a consistent feeding window time is important. Otherwise, hormones in the body can get thrown out of whack and make sticking to the program harder, Berkhan says.
Refraining from eating food. The Bible describes three main forms of fasting: 1) The Normal Fast, involving the total abstinence of food. Luke 4:2 reveals that Jesus "did eat nothing." Afterwards "He was hungered." Jesus abstained from food but not from water. 2) In Acts 9:9 we read of an Absolute Fast where for three days He "neither did eat nor drink." The abstinence from both food and water seems to have lasted no more than three days (Ezra 10:6; Esther 4:16). 3) The Partial Fast-in Daniel 10:3 the emphasis is upon the restriction of diet rather than complete abstinence. The context implies that there were physical benefits resulting from this partial fast. However, this verse indicates that there was a revelation given to Daniel as a result of this time of fasting.
Even with these results, one of the concerns with fasting is that people will binge on non-fast days. But the results of two months-long trials, published in 2018 in the journal Food Science & Nutrition, showed that dieters, specifically those following 5:2, didn't binge. "When you impose a two-day 70 percent calorie restriction, what they do on the natural days is eat about 25 percent less," says Harvie, one of the authors of the study and a co-developer of the 5:2 diet. "And that is why the diet is so effective."
Current research on intermittent fasting – the general term for diets like 5:2 – suggests that the approach is at least as effective as 'normal' dieting. Further research is investigating potential benefits in terms of blood sugar, and the 'inflammatory response' in the body that is a factor in many medical conditions, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and dementia.
The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates wrote, "To eat when you are sick, is to feed your illness". Another ancient Greek writer and historian Plutarch is also credited with penning "Instead of using medicine, better fast today". In more recent times one of our founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin, stated, "The best of all medicines is resting and fasting".
Whether you're a speedy eater who overeats before your brain gets the message that you're full or you just never seem to be satisfied, IF might help. "When you're not eating all the time, your hunger hormones don't need to be released that often," says Jubilee. "The body gets in a better hormonal balance, which enables you to get a grasp on your appetite."
Human growth hormone, or HGH, is naturally produced by the body, but remains active in the bloodstream for just a few minutes. It's been effectively used to treat obesity and help build muscle mass, important for burning fat. HGH also helps increase muscle strength, which can help improve your workouts, too. Combine these together and you have an effective fat-burning machine on your hands.
Do you have a hunger for God? If we don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because we have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because we have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Our soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great. If we are full of what the world offers, then perhaps a fast might express, or even increase, our soul's appetite for God. Between the dangers of self-denial and self-indulgence is the path of pleasant pain called fasting. [John Piper].
Another study, this one out of the University of Southern California, discovered that when 71 adults were placed on a five-day fast (eating between 750 and 1,100 calories a day) once every three months, they lost an average of 6 pounds, reduced inflammation levels and their waistlines and lost total body fat without sacrificing muscle mass. (2) If you want to lose weight and lose belly fat, fasting even irregularly could be the key.
In a 2017 study in Science Translational Medicine, 71 participants who completed the fasting-mimicking diet showed health benefits including weight loss, lower blood pressure and a drop in levels of the hormone IGF-1, which primarily stimulates growth but also plays a role in regulating blood glucose levels. And depending on how healthy you are, you may not need to stick to the diet too long. For instance, Longo says a healthy athlete may need to do it only twice a year, while someone who's overweight may need to continue with it until they see the improvements they want.
Vitousek, the psychologist, has seen this kind of enthusiasm before — and it was for CR. Caloric restriction never reached fasting's popularity, but it had its share of lay followers in the 2000s, when she got a chance to talk with members of a group practicing it. Initially, they were excited and motivated. Then, like most dieters, the majority began to fall away. Some who had done CR for years simply couldn't do it anymore. "You can pretty much take that to the bank," Vitousek says of dieters' waning enthusiasm. "That's why we have these cyclical waves."
For those looking into getting into these fad diets. They all work, to an extent. The "best" diet is most certainly the one that you can most adhere to. That being said, so long as you are in a caloric deficit, you will lose weight! Face it, what is the point when you diet down and can not keep the weight off? You will most certainly rebound and end up right where you started. Consult with your doctor first and foremost for health and welfare issues and follow-up with a professional. Your health is of utmost importance. Take care everyone.
It appears that restricting calories activates genes that direct cells to preserve resources. Rather than grow and divide, cells in famine mode are, in effect, stalled. In this state, they are mostly resistant to disease and stress and enter into autophagy, a process of cleaning out dead or toxic cell matter and repairing and recycling damaged components.
When a feast day occurs on a fast day, the fast is often mitigated (lessened) to some degree (though meat and dairy are never consumed on any fast day). For example, the Feast of the Annunciation almost always occurs within the Great Lent in the Orthodox calendar: in this case fish (traditionally haddock fried in olive oil) is the main meal of the day.

Traditionally, the summer movie season has been about tent-pole blockbusters. The major studio's biggest movies would release in a time when the kids had no school.

[This post is from Marin's point of view.]
A cradle.
Marin sat down heavily in the rocking chair in the corner, bile rising in her throat. She tried to swallow it back down, to ignore the sourness that slicked the back of her tongue and burned in her throat. Thom watched her as he worked one boot off, then the other, wincing only slightly as he straightened back up again.
"The look on your face makes me think you're worried," he said softly. "Are you?"
"A little," she said weakly, then swallowed hard, blinking. She took one breath, then another, her stomach slowly starting to settle as she did. "You really don't remember drawing it?"
He shook his head. "No. I was talking to Matt and was just doodling without really thinking. When I looked down was when I realized what I'd drawn. It was mindless except maybe it wasn't."
"Maybe," she whispered, scrubbing a hand over her eyes as she started to tug off her sweatshirt. "Holy shit, Thom. Do you—"
"You think maybe it means the same thing I do."
Marin nodded slowly. "Yeah. Yeah, I think I probably do. Holy shit."
They probably don't even know. Of course, we could be wrong. They might not be. It might be coincidence. It could be nothing.
Or it could be a really, really big something.
It sent her heart soaring, at least for a few seconds. They deserved to be happy, though she suspected that Hecate might worry herself sick over it, at least at first. She knew that the worry would be there, more intense than the usual pregnancy concerns, worse than the normal first time mom worries—worries that Marin had to admit she had herself with Lin, but had tried her best to bury.
After all, everything was different now—this was uncharted territory. No one before them—before she and Tala and Neve—had given birth after the end of the world, at least not anywhere near them. They were all figuring things out as they went along.
Matt and Hecate…
She felt tears gathering in her eyes even as she smiled.

Dark Shadow, Bright Sun
A memoir
Book Details
About the Book
This account of my life is essentially episodic in nature, using William Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience as a very loose framework. The story is about the battle most of us face at critical times in our lives between the contrary states of creativity and destruction, love and hate and living and dying. It invites the reader to identify with me in my quest to know why I, like so many women, have felt bound by invisible constraints, held down by authority, voiceless. What is the cause? Does it matter that we should know? The exploration is elucidated via the use of diaries kept during and after a five year period of psychoanalysis, fragments of dreams, and copies of correspondence between family and friends. Within the theme of Innocent Beginnings I track childhood memories from the early forties to the early fifties, describing an awakening to some of the big life issues: illness, betrayal, birth, sex, death. Within the theme of Experience I move to an exploration of key authority figures: father, first lover, employers and how they have contributed to, or countered, long term depression. The years of psychotherapy were followed by a joyful period of personal and work fulfilment, marriage and motherhood. I later describe the anguished times relating to the death of one of my students and some time after that my own daughter's attempted suicide. I consider the way these redefining experiences shape the memoir as they have shaped my life, and have helped to provide, admittedly tentative, answers to the questions I have set out to explore.

Ex-NBA player Tate George, who was sentenced to nine years in prison for running a $2 million real estate Ponzi scheme, has filed a fraud lawsuit against Jody Kriss and Michael "Chudi" Ejekam.
The pair, who used to work for the Bayrock Group, the firm that co-developed Trump SoHo, was accused of using their affiliation with President Donald Trump to commit fraud.
"In 2005, when local real estate investor C. Tate George was handed the business cards of two Trump protégés, he viewed them as tickets to the big leagues. Little did George know, however, that Michael 'Chudi' Ejekam and Jody Kriss were swindlers who used the Trump brand to lure investors, with no intention of ever turning a profit or returning investors' money," the court filing read.
The case, which was filed in Essex County Superior Court on January 31, focused on a real estate project in the Chicago suburb of Glenview, Illinois. According to court documents, George and Ejekam met through a mutual acquaintance at Goldman Sachs. Ejekam claimed to have a "leading role" in several Trump-branded projects, including Trump SoHo in Manhattan. In a previous report from the Real Deal, a representative from Bayrock said that Ejekam was a contractor and not an employee of the firm.
Ejekam served as a conduit between George and Kriss. According to the lawsuit, Kriss repeatedly invited George to his office in Trump Tower. The visits were supposedly meant to highlight Kriss' connection to Trump. Kriss and Ejekam were also said to have repeatedly mentioned "Trump" and the "Trump Organization" to imply that Donald Trump was involved in the project.
Kriss, who said he is yet to be served with legal documents relating to the case, disparaged George's suit, saying that it is part of a "fake news harassment campaign" meant to weaken his lawsuit against Bayrock. In 2010, he and Ejekam jointly sued Bayrock, accusing the company of fraud.
"This case is a total and complete waste of time. The only goal is for you to write a story that disparages me and maybe somebody else," Kriss said. "The only purpose of this lawsuit is to appear in your story. It has no merit. No possibility of ever succeeding. It is merely part of a fake news harassment campaign, the motive of which is to stop me from pursuing the claims that I've been pursuing against them, which do have merit and have been ruled by a judge to have merit. So what they're trying to do is to disparage me publicly to make my life miserable."
To illustrate his point, Kriss, who said he met George "maybe twice in his life," pointed out that the statute of limitations for fraud in New Jersey is six years. Since the alleged fraud happened between 2006 and 2007, this means that George has missed the deadline for suing. He also said that he didn't need to make false claims over his ties with Donald Trump. To prove his connection to Trump, he sent a copy of the broker-dealer agreement for Trump SoHo. The document contained Kriss' and Trump's signatures as two of the four principals for the project.
In June of 2006, the parties agreed that Ejekam's firm Baron Capital Management would be the lead developer in the project. Meanwhile, the former basketball player's George Group brought in three outside investors: Ralph Ramsey, Howard Trachtenberg and Dwayne Taylor. In October of that year, Ramsey and Taylor made an initial investment of $50,000 each.
Before even closing on the property, Ejekam said that he already had a buyer lined up, according to court documents. In February of 2007, Ejekam complained of an "easement issue" and difficulties in flipping the property. Two months after, the relationship had soured to the point that Ramsey and Taylor asked for a refund. Ejekam refused, urging the investors to roll the funds into two other projects in Illinois. George claimed that he was left alone to deal with disgruntled investors. According to the filing, Ejekam soon stopped answering the phone and "absconded" with the funds.
The case adds to the long legal history for Bayrock Group. In 2010, Kriss, who now works as a principal and co-founder at residential development firm East River Partners, filed a lawsuit that exposed former Bayrock consultant Salvatore Lauria as a convicted felon turned mob informant. In 2014, Lauria retaliated with a summons that accused Kriss of "mob tactics.' Last year, Bayrock executive Felix Sater was also named in a $250 tax fraud case involving projects such as Trump Soho and Trump International in Fort Lauderdale.
The Tate George lawsuit accuses Kriss and Ejekam of fraud, breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation and unjust enrichment. Ejekam now works as a real estate developer in Nigeria.
George, who played for the New Jersey Nets and the Milwaukee Bucks during a four-year NBA career, was convicted of four wire fraud counts. He reportedly used the funds for his own expenses such as back taxes and a television pilot. Among his victims were former NBA players Charlie Villanueva and Brevin Knight.

DALLAS, TX -- A former stripper is suing Jerry Jones for $1 million. She claims the Dallas Cowboys owner sexually assaulted her fiver years ago then conspired to cover it up.
According to Sports Illustrated, Jana Weckerly of Oklahoma is the one who took those racy pictures of Jones with with women.
Weckerly's attorney, Thomas Bowers, says she is not in the pictures, but Jones allegedly attacked her that same night at a five-star Dallas hotel back in 2009.
The details outlined in the lawsuit about what allegedly happened inside that hotel restroom are graphic.
Read the complete Lawsuit Filed Against Jerry Jones (explicit)
"These allegations are completely false," Jones' lawyer, Levi McCathern said in the statement. "This is nothing more than an attempt to embarrass and extort Jerry Jones. This is a shakedown by a lawyer who is a solo practitioner just trying to make a name for himself. We intend to vigorously contest this complaint and expect it will be shown for what it is – a money grab."

Hans Lannér
Little Hymns
9.3–10.4 2012, Skylight Projects, New York, USA
Address: 551 WEST 21ST Street #410A [Between N 10th & 11th Ave] New York
Skylight Projects is pleased to announce the first solo show of accomplished Swedish painter, Hans Lannér in New York City. The show is comprised of sixteen paintings, each a portrait of a house - a re-occuring element in Lannér's work. With his trademark understated depictions of life and simple, yet impenetrable style, Lannér manages to creat rich dimensionality through a distinctly flat world of color and perspective. The images of normal looking houses are interrupted with abstract and seemingly random shapes that turn the images into something more. The realities being presented are not frozen snapshots of a specific time but elements of memory, objects, and experiences that come together to create a feeling of a place rather then just a static image. Lannér works with images from various origins - moments from journeys, daily life, abstract thoughts and fading memories. Perhaps this is a more truthful way of expressing what each house is like- honest in a deeper mulitlayered sense that is not just about a visual. The off-kilter perspectives and overly simplistic representations seem to gently coax the viewer into feeling there is more to the story then a house, a wall or a window. There is a sensitive roughness to his work that enhances the mundane snapshots of life Lannér chooses to paint. The paintings are bathed in light, shining with muted Scandinavian colors and restrained expressiveness. Flattened fields of perspective enhance the numerous interpretations of what is really being shown to the viewer. Each painting is as abstract as it is realistic, with smears of paint fighting to be without context. With names like A Murder, and A Tiny Old Lady, Lannér sets a slightly mysterious tone to his work. The audience is privy to select elements in a much larger story. There is a timeless, fateful quality in Lannér's work that Ulf Linde described in catalogue text:
"...When our own species has died out the earth will continue to spin without us. The horizon will continue to be horizontal, weights will continue to fall straight downwards, night will continue to follow on day: everything that the man crossing the road never needs to think about but takes for granted. This is what Hans Lannér gives expression to in his little, etched hymns." (from the book "Hans Lannér", Carlsson bokförlag, 2008)
Hans Lannér was born 1947 and has had numerous solo exhibition at museums and galleries around Sweden. His work is in the collections of Göteborgs Konstmuseum, Borås Konstmuseum, Malmö Konstmuseum, and Ystads Konstmueum among others. He is represented by Galleri Magnus Karlsson in Sweden.
Hours: Fri–Sun 12–6pm & by appointment

Chios Island Greece Guide Chios
Chios Island Greece Greek Holiday Destinations
Chios is one of the Greek North Eastern Aegean islands located 283 kilometres to the north east of the mainland port of Piraeus and separated from Turkey by the eight kilometre wide Chios Straits. It's a starkly beautiful island largely untouched by mass tourism despite having the best beaches in the archipelago and some of the most fascinating medieval villages in the whole of Greece.
The package holiday industry has been kept at bay partly because of the lack of direct charter flights from northern Europe and partly because the island's past wealth and self sufficiency enabled it to resist the lure of the tourist industry. Foreign visitors didn't arrive here in any significant numbers until the 1980s and even today the island remains mercifully unspoilt by the worst excesses of tour group tourism. Rumour has is that some of the shipping magnates who have luxurious summer retreats on the satellite island of Inousses, off the north east tip of Chios, pay the locals not to set up tavernas and domatia. And wealthy landowners have seen no reason to surrender their land in order to extend the runway to accommodate big jets at Chios airport.
You can fly to the island from Athens there are several Olympic Airways flights a day to the airport, four kilometres south of the capital Chios Town. There are daily ferries to and from Piraeus (eight hours) and Lesvos (three hours) and less frequent services connecting the island with others in the group. During the summer months ferries and excursion boats run daily to the Turkish port of Cesme.
Most holiday accommodation is in Chios Town, on the island's east coast, which is home to about half the island's 50,000 strong population. The town lacks the charm of many other Greek island ports simply because most of it was destroyed in the violent earthquake of 1881 when 6,000 islanders were killed. But there are some interesting museums to visit and a charming old quarter with narrow lanes flanked by Turkish houses built around a Genoese Byzantine castle. The town's lively and colourful bazaar is a fascinating place to visit with merchants hawking all manner of goods from screeching monkey and parrots to the local mastic gum which was the island's chief export for centuries.
A visit to the so called "mastic villages" in southern Chios is top of most tourists' agenda. The medieval architecture and elaborate artwork adorning the walls of the local houses make these some of the most unusual and attractive settlements in the Greek islands. The fortified villages were built in the 14th and 15th centuries and prospered from production of gum from the mastic bushes which flourish in the area. For centuries the local mastic resin was used in paints, cosmetics, medicines and an addictive chewing gum enjoyed by the Ottoman sultans and their harems.
One of the island's other major attractions is the World Heritage listed Monastery of Nea Moni, built in the 11th century high up in the mountains 15 kilometres west of the capital. Both the Byzantine building and its collection of well preserved mosaics rank among the finest of their kind in Greece. Just inside the main gate a chapel serves as a chilling reminder of one of the most horrific massacres of the Greek War of Independence. A cabinet contains the skulls and bones of islanders who fled to the monastery to escape the Turks during the uprising of 1822. About 30,000 islanders were slaughtered and tens of thousands more were taken as slaves.

New Delhi: External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Thursday said the government is following a case with the US police about the Telangana man who was shot at in California.
In a series of tweets, Swaraj said she has recieved a report from Indian Consulate in San Francisco that an Indian man identifed as Mubeen Ahmed, who was working at a gas station in California, was shot at by a gunman.
"I have received the report from our Consulate in San Francisco. The victim Mubeen Ahmed works at a gas station. A gunman demanded money from Mubeen and then fired at him," she tweeted. "He is admitted in the Eden Medical Centre CA. Fortunately Mubeen is now out of danger. We are following up the case with the police," she said.

Tweeting on a separate issue, Swaraj said the government has taken up with the Canadian High Commission the visa issue of Indian badminton players, who are scheduled to play in Canada at the Yonex Open.

Being interested in the local geology and desirous of a little trip this morning, Maggie, Chester and I headed southwards from our Guelph home toward Hamilton and the famous Webster's Falls.
I recall my first discovery of this feature some years ago when I had visited the nearby town of Dundas – looking for the infamous "Satan Tunnels". I had been speaking to the lighthouse keeper at the mouth of the Hamilton Harbour. He had told me of a memory from his youth, tunnels leading into the clifface above Dundas – crowded with abandoned quarrying machinery and on one ocassion where he saw satanists sacrificing a goat.
Scouring along the clifface I had followed up a gorge which eventually branched, one arm following up Logie's Creek to Tews Falls and the other up Spencer Creek to Webster's Falls.
Webster's Falls (as pictured above) displays an interesting crossection of the local geology. As can be seen it is a two tier'd falls, the step being marked by the resistant blue-grey limestone of the Irondequoit Formation. Though here it is but a narrow ledge that crops out, Balls Falls, some 30 minutes drive along the escarpment edge displays the ledge as two distinct waterfalls, several hundred metres apart – Upper and Lower Balls Falls.

However, the newly created user/table are appended to the table, and hence, they are not placed according to their correct alphabetical order. This is something that can be improved.
- Start the ajaxification of inline editing of data retrieved from a table: As expected, this is among the toughest tasks in my entire Summer of Code. When I began work on this, I did not know about phpMyAdmin's Transformation feature, and it took me some time to figure out how to handle transformed and truncated data fields. Also, relational fields might take some extra work to process. The jQuery scripts for handling this are at a very basic stage, and the next week will be spent in coding the Ajax calls and handling the PHP side of this task. There is a possibility that this task might extend beyond the two weeks allotted to this, but week 10 has simpler tasks scheduled, so I should be able to complete this feature well.
- Fixing bugs mentioned on the phpmyadmin-devel list:
- Index not defined error for $GLOBALS['cell_align_left'], reported by Marc and Dieter has been fixed. During an Ajax call, one of the files that generates the HTML head is not included, which was leaving this variable undefined. Put in a check in the PMA_showMessage() function, where the error was being thrown.
- Dieter suggested that I update the links/initials for paginating the users list shown on top, both when a new user is added and when the last user with a particular initial is dropped. Completed this feature.
- Also, pagination of user's list was facing caching issues, as Marc noticed. Added a random variable that prevents this from happening.
- Modified the PMA_mysqlDie() function to support Ajax requests and improved the error handling on sql.php and Table Search pages, a few conditions were not covered properly in the last week's code.
Tasks for Week 9:
- Last week, I mentioned that I had fixed the bug that caused the empty notifications shown at times during an Ajax request. It seems that I had caught only one of the reasons causing the bug, there's another condition that I'm trying to fix.
- Complete inline editing ajaxification: Handle the transformed values as well as truncated and relational values. Modify PHP code for the submission of the Ajax request.
- Continue testing for bugs and fix them.
- Find/figure out a better CSS styling for the notification division. It does not stay centered when the length of the notification's message is more than 2 words. Also, add similar styling rules to the Darkblue/orange theme.
And yes, yesterday, I received the mail confirming that I passed the mid-term evaluations for the Google Summer of Code! :smile:

To celebrate World Art Day we are featuring Glow Art – our Neon effect Drawing Board in a radical and very fetching deep pink. It is a totally brilliant light up drawing board that uses dozens of coloured LED's to create a glowing effect on anything you draw.
And it is very handy for half term travelling.
It is transparent so you can trace a favourite picture, or be entirely original and create your own works of art with the four fluorescent marker pens. Then you turn the frame on and watch the lights illuminate your picture in 36 different ways and colours giving it a bright neon effect glow. Like this.
When you are finished, wipe it clean. It is a great size for travelling or for carrying with you in a backpack to share your visions. It costs £25.95 and will inspire your inner artist. Click here for the video.
It also comes in black, but you might have to move fast as it is selling out very quickly.
Happy Creativity,
The Wicked Uncle Art Team
Ps And now for some non- random jokes about artists:
What do you call someone hanging on a wall? Art.
Vincent van Gogh walks into a bar, and the bartender offers him a drink… No thank you, said Vincent, I've got one 'ere.
How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb? Two. One to get the giraffe………
It's crazy that Leonardo da Vinci could paint and invent all that stuff and still find time to be a crime fighting turtle.
I've developed a foolproof technique to sculpt a model of an elephant:
1. Get a huge block of marble.
2. Chip away anything that doesn't look like an elephant.
You don't need a parachute to go skydiving. You need a parachute to go skydiving twice.
I came up with a new word yesterday. Plagiarism.

Alliance for Information Society Innovations
Alliance for Information Society Innovations
The Internet and networking technologies such as mobile phones are sparking positive social and economic change in developing countries.
This research aims to combine three regional, competitive small grants and awards programs for Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean to explore how technology can be a catalyst for change.
IDRC support is creating an alliance among three established groups: the Information Society Innovation Fund (ISIF) in Asia, the Regional Fund for Digital Innovation (FRIDA) in Latin America and the Caribbean, and a new program in Africa, tentatively called the African Fund for Internet Research and Education Development (FIRE).
Small grants and awards will promote action research on emerging rights issues in a networked society. Ideas to be explored include freedom of expression, association, and assembly within the context of connectivity. This is relevant given the rise of movements such as Occupy and Anonymous, and new forms of social mobilization that new media allows and supports.
The structure of the small grants and awards program will allow a variety of joint efforts among the three members, such as program evaluation, dissemination of results, knowledge management, and networking. The research spans four thematic areas: openness, inclusion, rights, and access.
This program should allow funding partners to identify and expand the reach of promising initiatives. Researchers, practitioners, and entrepreneurs keen to channel the growth of digital technologies toward greater economic and social inclusion will be able to connect with each other across continents. Case studies from the small grants and awards may feed into a greater understanding of open development and rights in a networked society. Finally, the partners will explore and experiment with crowdsourcing as part of the selection process for awards and grants.

If you are like most people, car repairs are something that you want to avoid if at all possible. The fact is, however, that when you own a vehicle for more than a few years, you will definitely need to fix many small things like lights, break pads, tires, and more. In addition, normal wear and tear will also add up on the major components, which will then require a costly fix. When you lease from us, however, your lease agreement will typically expire before any big issues arise, and even if something major does happen, it will be covered under the warranty. For worry free driving, leasing a car in Philadelphia is a great option.

The "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) campaign suggests that you store the word "ICE" in your cell phone address book, and enter the
number of the person you would want to be contacted "In Case of Emergency".
For more than one contact name ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.
In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff may then be able to find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact them.
Assuming of course that:
1) they know how to use your phone.
2) you keep you phone on your body
3) the phone is not damaged
4) you don't use a PIN number to secure access to your phone
This is a legitimate idea.
For further detail look here:
Whatever the drawbacks, carrying ICE information is a worthwhile effort.

Brilliant Brunch With Amazing Vendors For A Good Cause
The Scottsdale League For The Arts puts on the Scottsdale Culinary Festival but before that, it's Cooks and Corks and then the Brunch Club. Every event Scottsdale League For The Arts is put together with class and elegance and they're solidly in our Must-Do category. The Scottsdale Culinary Festival isn't for a few more months but it's a weekend long event that every foodie must attend. To start December off right the Brunch Club came to the rescue.
So Many Choices
Whenever you attend an event where there's a variety of vendors, part of the fun is to find out what your favorite item is and the chance to try places you have never been to before. The Brunch Club at Mountain Shadows Resort was just the type of adventure every foodie loves. Set in a picturesque environment on a typical perfect sunny Saturday, restaurants from all over the Valley participated.
Starting Out
Walking in I was delighted with a mini eggs benedict from Benedict's Caterers. The eggs benedict were creamy and delicious. They also offered a variety of cookies including gingersnaps!
The Biltmore's Bomb Offerings
A few feet away a Tito's Vodka Bloody Mary with green chile salsa ice cubes was beckoning me from the Biltmore. To my absolute
Did You Say Lobstah?
Not only did Wright's provide Bloody Mary's and lobster bisque but they also had a 75% almond gateau which translates to a decadent bite of
The Scene
So let me set the scene: beautiful people everywhere representing the Hats and Bowties theme, gorgeous sunny day with the desert golf course as a backdrop, 30 seconds after walking out to the lawn there's an amazing
I Love It When I Am Wrong
Happily, I was
Who cares about bacon?
Everyone loves bacon. For me, I'm not a fan. I mean, I love it for flavoring and it smells great but I am not ordering a side of bacon if I'm at a restaurant. Prosciutto? Sure. Bacon, not so much. But here are these little slices of bacon skewered standing like soldiers waiting to be sampled. Executive Chef Jeremy Pacheco explained that they make it in-house, covered in
Off With Your Head
One cool thing that Mountain Shadows did was to chop off the top of a champagne bottle by saber! Boom!! Every party should include sabers and champagne. Oh, and with a DJ! DJ Jen Jones was
A Field Of Amazing
Besides Lon's, Benedict's and Wrights, there were many other delights to be discovered. My favorite Jewel's Bakery was there. Chef Justine Dachel had the clever idea of creating champagne shots! She hand pressed oranges into champagne to make something like a Jell-O shot except with Moet Chandon. Who doesn't like edible champagne???
Champagne Shots and Sliders
The fabulous and talented Chef Justine also provided sliders. These things were huge and such a hit that they disappeared in an hour. Word to the wise, if you at an event One of the cool things about a lot of these chefs, including Chef Justine is they use a lot of local resources. Her Brunch Hangover Sliders included microgreens from Twisted Infusions, goat cheese from Crow's Dairy and eggs from Hickman's.
Stock and Stable
Just like Wright's, Stock and Stable had three tasty morsels to choose from. The crew at Stock and Stable were really helpful and enthusiastic about their offerings. They're about to celebrate their 2 year anniversary too! Let's keep these local businesses in business! They had an amazing seafood thingy which was really tasty but the star of the show was the ham and gruyere pastry with raspberry compote.
Giving Back
The Scottsdale League for the Arts created this event to raise money for the arts. All of the vendors generously donated their time and food and alcohol to make the event a success. Chef Justine from Jewel's Bakery mentioned a project about she is working with the Restoration Project making Christmas card and care packages for the children in migrant camps. These kids don't have their parents around and it's the holidays. So they're all alone. Chef Justine is trying to raise awareness and money for this project. Stop by on December 25th for their huge 5 year anniversary party and find out more about the movement.
What About The Scottsdale Culinary Festival?
The Scottsdale Culinary Festival happens the second weekend in April. The Festival brings together the many tastes of the Arizona culinary scene at the Scottsdale Civic Center Mall. Although it's not on their website yet, prior to #scf is the Burger Battle at the Waterfront.
All in all, if you're a foodie keep an eye on what's happening with the Scottsdale League for the Arts and check out all their events! You'll have a good time and meet some fun people. Dress Instagram Pretty!

Now that Halloween is over with, the next major event before Christmas that the Well Polished Crawley team will be celebrating is Bonfire Night where traditionally we burn a Guy on a bonfire and set of fireworks.
But have you ever wondered why do we celebrate the 5 November and asked the question who the Fawkes is Guy?
Among others, Guy Fawkes famously plotted to blow up England's King James 1 and the English Parliament on 5 November 1605 in what has now become known as the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. The plot was organised in an effort to end the persecution of Roman Catholics by the English Government.
The Gunpowder Plot was foiled, the King was safe and Parliament was saved from destruction. In order to celebrate this, bonfires were set alight around the country to celebrate the safety of the King. And so since 1605, 5th November has become known as Bonfire Night and is commemorated each year with fireworks and the burning of a Guy on a bonfire.
As always, there will be many local events going on – why not check out this one at Three Bridges Football Club on Saturday 3 November, doors open at 6pm.
Or perhaps you fancy a quieter affair in your own back garden surrounded by family and friends. Remember, if you need a cleaner to come and tidy up after your celebrations then get in touch with Well Polished Crawley.
Wherever you are and whatever you do – stay safe! And have fun!

The parallel performance of applications running on Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) platforms is strongly in- ?uenced by the relative placement of memory pages to the threads that access them. As a consequence there are Linux application programmer interfaces (APIs) to control this. For large parallel codes it can, however, be dif?cult to determine how and when to use these APIs. In this paper we introduce the NUMAgrind pro?ling tool which can be used to simplify this process. It extends the Valgrind binary translation framework to include a model which incorporates cache coherency, memory locality domains and interconnect traf?c for arbitrary NUMA topologies. Using NUMAgrind, cache misses can be mapped to memory locality domains, page access modes determined, and pages that are referenced by multiple threads quickly determined. We show how the NUMAgrind tool can be used to guide the use of Linux memory and thread placement APIs in the Gaussian computational chemistry code. The performance of the code before and after use of these APIs is also presented for three different commodity NUMA platforms.
