Girls' Golf Preview: Team looking to build on inaugural season
September 5, 2014
The second year of Girls' Golf has just started at Palo Alto High School and players are already practicing their swings, drives, and putts as the new season commences.
There are big expectations for the young team after last season, their inaugural year , was a huge success for the program. The team went all the way to CCS, beating St. Francis, and advancing on to Norcals. After beating through very competitive high school teams, they reached the State playoffs, where they placed fourth.
Coach Doyle Knight and the ten golfers now look forward to the possibilities of the upcoming season. Of the current team, there are two seniors, six sophomores, and two beginning freshmen. Michelle Xie ('15) is the current captain and she will take charge as an important player and leader on the team.
Coach Knight has a positive outlook on the upcoming year and is excited for their first league game on Thursday.
"Obviously we want to repeat our success from last year and defend our championship," Knight said.
Even though the team lost two players, they have some rising stars to come in and help contribute.
"Last year we lost 2 crucial seniors , but we have a freshman who is our number 2 player right now, and the rest of the girls have a lot of potential," Olivia Johnson ('15) said.
Johnson is one of the two seniors on the team and she will be working hard this year to win games for the team.
"Personally I'm really excited for the season and I hope I can help the team reach our goals," Johnson said.
There is no doubt that the competition will be very tough, and both the players and the coach know what they are up against.
"Other teams are good, but we'll give them a run for their money," Knight said.
The teams first matchup is Thursday, September 11th, where they will play Los Gatos. The girls will be looking to start off their season on the right foot, and if their history is any indication, the team will be looking at another successful season.
Reuben is a junior and this is his first year writing for Viking. He plays soccer for the Vikings.

"You'd like Freedom, Truth, and Justice, wouldn't you, Comrade Sergeant?" said Reg encouragingly.
"I'd like a hard boiled egg," said Vimes, […] "Tomorrow the sun will come up again, and I'm pretty sure that whatever happens we wont have found Freedom, and there won't be a whole lot of Justice, and I'm d*** sure we wont have found Truth. But it's just possible that I might get a hard-boiled egg."
-Terry Pratchett, "Night watch"
Dear Drake,
I want to thank you for the food you gave me Monday night. I was tired, and cranky, and really really hungry. People had basically pillaged the store. You didn't have to make me anything while I went off to hermitize by myself, but you did. And while it wasn't a hard-boiled egg, it was a soft-boiled one (really it was) and I tend to like those better anyway. So thanks for being the best face I saw that night. You really made my day.
~ ~ ~
Maybe I should explain. I wanted to work on a value, and gratitude seemed as good a place as any to start. So you'll probably see a lot more gratitude notes in the future–all true stories, I promise, with real people involved. Thanks for reading, and God Bless!

Mentorology in Actionwith Linda Perry, Musical Mastermind
Written and Photographed by Russ Mezikofsky
Recently OMSF Founder Dawn Carroll and Creative Director Russ Mezikofsky met
with legendary record producer, songwriter and performer Linda Perry. When asked if she
would become the next Over My Shoulder "Mentorologist" she enthusiastically said yes!
It became apparent that Linda is a perfect example of Mentorology in action as she told
Dawn and Russ about how mentoring played a big part in her early career and later "cross-
mentoring" relationships with P!nk, Christina Aguilera and other musicians.Here's her full
As a young girl who didn't feel like she even needed a mentor, Linda Perry idolized her
older brother, spending hours listening to his band and studying everything he did.It was
her brother that started Linda towards her career path in the music industry, acting as her
first mentor.
Linda burst onto the music scene as "the chick with the big voice" with the rock group 4
Non Blondes,best known for their mega hit "What's Up". As lead vocalist and primary
songwriter for the band, her dynamic singing capabilities and razor sharp writing
skills earned her recognition as a unique and unforgettable talent. With a hard-hitting,
uninhibited and seductive style Linda caught the attention of music fans all over and grew
to be a source of inspiration for young aspiring singers, both male and female.
In 2001 after the break-up of 4 Non Blondes Linda Perry met some difficulty. She had made
her brother, her first mentor, proud. Yet, she wasn't absolutely sure what to do next.
Thankfully, Mentorology breathed new and unexpected life into an already great musical
career. To Linda's surprise, she was contacted by Alecia Beth Moore, or "P!nk".
P!nk, a longtime fan who revered Linda's musical talents, wanted Linda to write and
possibly sing for her album Missundaztood. At the time Linda was laying groundwork to
showcase new songs and get a tour going, but after several meetings with P!nk, Linda
canceled her plans.Linda knew there was something special about P!nk.
As Linda Perry and P!nk made music, something magical was happening. At Over My
Shoulder Foundation we like to call it Reverse-Mentoring, or,Cross-Mentoring. Initially,
P!nk(a new artist) reached out to Linda (the established artist) to mentor her and in the
end Linda also got mentored by P!nk. Canceling her plans for her next career move was a
chance Linda took, but in taking it she introduced new opportunities to both musical
stars.Linda ended up writing a bulk of the songs on Missundaztood, which sold over
11 million records and boasted the # 1 hit single "Lets Get the Party Started."
Demonstrating her keen ability to inspire and natural ability to mentor, Linda says, "That's
the beauty of life. We never know what we are signing up for but the key is to just sign up
for it anyways. Be open to the experience." She continues, "Follow your gut feelings, not
your brain. The way I live my life is one gut feeling after the next."
Along with her resolute belief in trusting her gut, Perry credits Bill Bottrell, music producer
and songwriter of such artists as Michael Jackson and Sheryl Crow, as her producer mentor.
She says, "He taught me that there is no right or wrong way of producing or songwriting.
You just write, record and mix the sound of the song until it makes you happy."
Newly energized and inspired by her role as a musical mentor, Linda was sought out next
by Christina Aguilera. Linda had just finished writing the song "Beautiful" for herself as a
come back hit of sorts. As soon as Linda heard Christina sing the song, Linda knew it was
meant for Christina. "Beautiful", a song about self-esteem, became another #1 hit and was
nominated for the prestigious Song of the Year Grammy Award.
Linda beams with pride when she explains her decision not to sell the lucrative rights of
her songs to anyone. Instead she generously donates the license to various worthy causes.
It brings Linda Perry great joy to give something back to the world. Her continuing saga of
Mentorology is further proof that Linda keeps giving back.
"We can only be great if we allow ourselves not to know what the future holds. You have to
have confidence and believe that you are going to be okay." Explains Linda
That philosophy works, and Linda's musical career proves it. Perry went from artist with 4
Non Blondes to producer with P!nk and Christina Aguilera to shrewd business person when
she started two record labels:Rockstar Records and Custard Records. The first label was
started to sign the bands "Stone Fox" and "2 Lane Black Top". The second label was started as a
platform for mentoring new musicians and helping them develop their sound. James Blunt was
the first musician Linda signed to Custard Records. His album "Back to Bedlam" sold 11
million records world wide.
Linda explains that she now works with lots of young fresh talent. She recognizes that a
majority of young musicians have no clue about the way of a "true" artist. She pushes them
to take ownership of their careers and mentors them to stay true to themselves, never
compromising their artistic vision. "Everyone's afraid of losing something. They don't
think about the gifts that they have been given or the things that they can gain by believing
in their gut and believing in themselves", she says.
We all get mentored when Linda emphasizes the importance of being open to new ideas.
She says, "You can't mentor someone who thinks they know what they are doing already.
When egos and insecurities come into play, you have to realize that you really have no idea
what you are getting into. You look for a mentor to tell you how to recognize the little
things that make your path right. And hopefully you find that mentor."
In closing, our newest Over My Shoulder Foundation Mentorologist Linda Perry wants to
be mentored all the time. She even regularly says to random people, "Teach me, teach me
something." This open attitude and inspiring legacy makes us proud that Linda Perry took
the time to share some information about her life of Mentorology. Thanks Linda!

Snappers are enemies from The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. They are anthropomorphic and vaguely avian and appear in the Ocean Temple and the Take 'Em All On challenge. Snappers wield whips, and will use them to entangle Link and attack him. Link must dodge the Snapper's whip and slice it with his sword to defeat it. They can also use their whips to capture Link, and pull him in if he moves away from them, or distance him if he tries to close in. Link can use the reel in to his advantage to strike, cutting himself loose in the process. In the Ocean Temple, a Snapper appears as a mini-boss and guards the Whip. Once Link has obtained it, he can use it to stun Snappers in any subsequent battles with them.
Snappers are likely named after the snapping noise that a whip makes.

Name Brynhild Kleim
Position Commanding Officer
Rank Captain
Character Information
Physical Appearance
|Hair Color
|Eye Color
|James Kleim
|Maria Vostok Kleim
Personality & Traits
|General Overview
|Brynhild is quiet and somber by nature, although when she relaxes, she warms up and shows a very caring and sensitive nature. It's not that she's the cliche of 'hard on the outside, but soft on the inside' - she's neither. It's just that she doesn't show her feelings very easily. She is sometimes afraid to make friends, as she's lost a lot in her life, but she does anyways, as she knows that no one is an island, although she is assured in her heart that she'll never fall in love again. She can't risk it, but that doesn't mean she won't make friends. As she puts it: 'no one can live surrounded by fire and not have someone cross it sometime - it just takes a little work to get there'.
|Personal History
|James Kleim and Maria Vostok met during the first night of a presentation of the ancient earth opera by Richard Wagner, 'Der Ring des Nibelungen' - it took three days, and they met each night just before it and talked. Within several months, James asked Maria to marry him. Two years later, their first child was born. They named her Brynhild, after the Valkyrie of Norse mythology whose story inspired the opera that they met at.
Brynhild, who was known as Brynna to friends and family, had inherited her mother's personality and her father's Southern German coloring with dark hair and eyes. She was a bright child who enjoyed sports, although she was quieter than other kids her age. She grew up with a strong sense of values and emotions that ran deep and quiet, which she usually kept to herself. She provided the classic big sister and protector role for each of the three siblings to come.
When she was ten, the family moved to Georgia. James, an Engineer, had been hired by a company known as ELT Aerodynamics. When Brynna was fifteen, she worked part time at ELT as well, assisting in administration and later in repairs.
Less than a year after she began to work there after school, there was a terrible accident and tragedy. She was there at the time and in the room that it happened in. This room was filled with industrial replicators and a faulty part in one caused an explosion, which caused a chain reaction. Eleven employees were killed that day and another fourteen injured. Most of them were trapped in rubble until rescue workers found them. The replicator room did not have the same reinforcement to the structure as other rooms, because this sort of thing was not anticipated.
Brynna had been friends with nearly everyone there that day - both those who lived and those who had died. She was in the Hospital for a month to recover from burns and wounds caused when pieces of metal had lodged in her lower back and side, as well as broken bones from being buried in the rubble. Because of the delay in treatment, there are scars that only extensive cosmetic surgery will remove, but she refuses the surgery.
She would return to school once she was healed and had to work to catch up, although her teachers had brought her work to her. She also returned to work, helping to rebuild. It was then that she got her first tattoo: on the back of her neck and down between her shoulder blades. It's a column with the names of all those who died at ELT, with 'R.I.P.' and the date, and a circle of flames at the bottom.
Having been a quiet child and adolescent in the first place, the long recovery and loss of friends caused it to entrench and she became somber. It wasn't that she couldn't relax or have a good time. She still had a social life, as ever, it just wasn't as rambunctious as some of her peers, but that had never bothered her.
One thing that emerged from all this was that what had been a minor interest in the workings and products of her company became a fascination with flying, thanks to the simple fact that she played video games during her recovery time, when there was no one to visit. They were fighter pilot games, and it gave her an itch, a taste, to know what it was really like.
She was allowed to try out the on site Simulators at ELT, as she was favorably looked on as a young woman who suffered tragedy, but returned to work when no one expected it of her.
When she was eighteen, she graduated high school. For a short time, she contemplated college but decided that she wanted to pursue the craving that was driving inside her, silent but pressing. She applied to Starfleet Academy, and while her parents weren't thrilled (it would take her further away from home) they supported her. She was accepted in to that year's class.
The Academy years seemed to pass quickly. She was studious and worked hard at her studies, only socializing occasionally and making a small number of close friends of like mind. She was part of the Academy's Squadron. It was after a drill one day, when she was holding her hair off a sweaty neck that someone saw the tattoo peeking out over the collar of her uniform. They pressed to know why, so she told them.
It was her friend there that called her 'the keeper of the dead' as she could recite every name off that tattoo, the date, without looking. Keeper became her call sign, but it didn't hold - not precisely.
Eventually, she would graduate and start to her first posting. It was short lived, but she saw comrades go down. Silently, she memorized their names and the dates of their deaths. It was at her next posting where she would meet Cody, her wing mate. He was in her squadron and one of the few people to not just recognize her name from the Opera, but to know the myth behind it. She found a kindred spirit in him and told him about the tattoo, when he asked, and the others.
He was the one who dubbed her Valhalla, and that one stuck. Valkyries were the Choosers of the Slain, but they brought those warrior spirits to the halls of Valhalla, where they would live on. Keeper of the Dead, she was not the Chooser, he said, but the place where their bravery would live forever.
Cody would be the first man she ever fell in love with.
He died a year later in an engagement against an unknown enemy during a skirmish on the Fleet's border. He was killed and she nearly died herself along with him when the canopy of her bird was shattered and the pieces cut through parts of her flight suit near her neck. It was fate that kept it from hitting an artery, and it was the pieces of the shield lodged in her seat that kept her suit from venting her oxygen and suffocating her.
Brynna, also called Val by some, was in Sickbay for two weeks after that, and requested a transfer. The Wing Commander understood and supported it. In transit, she would have another tattoo placed on her - this one on her hand. The flames can be seen sneaking out of her sleeve and on the back of her hand is a plane, a Valkyrie since that's what they flew, flying out of them and beneath the circle of fire reads:
Cody 'Switch' Feuer
Where the brave may live forever.
This was now her life. She went from posting to posting, and most would say about her that she was reserved, but not cold - quiet, but not shy. Brynna made a few friends, and they were close and she would always keep in touch, no matter where she landed. Her fault was that she kept things forever, and never forgot. She earned the respect of her colleagues and commander and climbed ranks and positions, remembering the name of every pilot lost.
Eventually, she would land on Starbase Aurora. This would prove to be her most challenging post yet, but also the most rewarding. She began as a Squadron Commander and eventually became the Wing Commander. Brynna saw the Wing through many strange events, integrating a host of new pilots into the station and coordinating with a Marine Air Group. This would even be through a large scale conflict against the Vaghr.
During that conflict, she met Jack Balen, who was CAG of the Bonhomme Richard. The two would begin dating.
In time, the Captain of Aurora would ask Brynna to become the Executive Officer and to her own surprise, she agreed. To even greater surprise, Balen would put his name in consideration for Wing Commander. He received the position and although it was a tight rope, their relationship continued and blossomed, even through more strange events that would befall Aurora. It got to the point where Brynna began to believe that Aurora was some sort of galactic beacon for the odd.
After roughly a year and a half on Aurora, Brynhild was transferred to First Officer of the Avenger and Jack was granted a transfer as well. Command settled well on her shoulders, although like any Fighter Pilot, she often longed for the days of being in a fighter plane.
A shuttle craft being driven by Jack to bring the Captain of their ship to a conference was attacked by a pirate vessel en route home. They got out a distress call, but the Avenger was too late. The shuttle was destroyed when a stray shot hit its warp core, killing both the Captain and Jack. Brynna was forced to assume command for a longer period than originally intended amidst incredible personal tragedy.
Jack Balen was the second lover she had lost and it greatly rattled her faith in existence. She loved Jack very deeply, like she felt all emotions, and to be faced with command in the face of his loss was a very difficult time for her. Her stalwart dedication to duty and to her ship was the only thing that saw her through. She returned the ship to dock and gave the decision regarding the fate of the Avenger's command to Star Fleet.
In the meantime, she had a second tattoo added to her opposite hand. This time, it was simply the words:
Jack 'Knight' Balen
I don't think I'll love any more.
Life continued and the fate of the Avenger was that it was to be handed over to two new Command Officers, while Brynna was given the rank of Captain and the Center Chair of a border patrol vessel named the USS Artemis. She had never been a vengeful woman, but the idea of protecting others against pirate scum like the kind that killed Jack appealed to her and she set off on the long journey to reach the Artemis.
She served her new post to the best of her abilities, but life on the edge can try anyone's nerves. After over a year in her post as commanding officer, she cracked when she learned that a VIP on the Artemis cared little for the lives of the crew. She hit them, and was demoted to commander. She chose to remain on board the Artemis as first officer, unwilling just yet to leave the ship.
However, the ship was pulled off border patrol as an event that shocked everyone rose within the Federation: civil war. The Artemis joined the fight.
In 2411, she chose to go back to her roots and take a role as CAG on another vessel. She served and fought with distinction until the end of the war, where she decided to return to Earth and the Academy to serve as a fighter pilot instructor and help rebuild after the years of devastating wars.
Until, that was, she received a message. She had again been given the rank of captain, and a new ship...although she has yet to be told what ship that is.

Cori Gauff's Wimbledon fairytale came to an end at the hands of Simona Halep on Monday.
The undoubted star of the last seven days in SW19 fell to a straight sets defeat to the former world number one and seventh seed Halep, 6-3, 6-3.
Charming and thrilling the crowds on Henman Hill, the 15-year-old known as 'Coco' won over the public with her three incredible wins overVenus Williams, Magdalena Rybarikova and Polona Hercog.
Picking up a cheque for £176,000 for her efforts, the superstar in waiting admitted it'll be 'life as normal' when she heads home to complete her exams.
"I literally have two weeks left, I probably could have been finished (my exams) if I didn't play this, but I'm so close," she said.
"My teachers definitely let me take a break a little so I could focus on my matches. I still want to go to college. It's kind of like a requirement, I guess, from my parents.
"It's crazy how big this has got. Some of the celebrities that tweeted me I didn't even know followed tennis. They probably don't follow tennis.
"The support from the crowd was really surprising because you don't really expect this kind of support when you're in another country, not your home country. I really did feel like I was probably playing in New York or somewhere.
"These past two weeks have been amazing. I'm excited to be back next year."
2014 semi-finalist Halep cast as the pantomime villain had little regard for fairytales as she set about targeting Gauff's serve.
The youngster held firm, trading early breaks before the one-time grand slam Champion held firm to see out the first set.
Gauff's metal seemed to be broken after Halep went an early break up in the second, but if we've learned anything from the American is that she'll never lay down as she pushed Halep hard for the victory.
Saving a brace of match points on her serve, Halep eventually saw of the spirited teenager and bring her time at Wimbledon to an end, for 2019 at least.
"I hope they learned about me that I'm a fighter.
"I'll never give up.
"I hope they learned from me that, I mean, anything is possible if you work hard, just continue to dream big."

The Conan Doyle window in the Sherlock Holmes Pub
Photographer: Rakshita Patel
Mission Statement: To save Conan Doyle's house for the Nation.
Undershaw in Surrey is a Grade II Listed Building commissioned to his own designs by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1897. After Conan Doyle sold it thirty years later, it became a hotel, until bought by 'developers' in 2004. The house has been empty ever since and is being allowed to deteriorate, subject to a planning application to develop the site into multiple private residences.
Academics for Undershaw is an international group of more than 300 scholars supporting the idea of establishing a Conan Doyle Museum and Centre for British and Irish Crime Writing, with a library, conference facilities and perhaps a writer in residence, while conserving the house and restoring the grounds.
Please let us know if you support this aim at email@example.com.
My own personal view is that I fully support and endorse working towards a Conan Doyle Museum and Centre for British and Irish Crime Writing. It is important to me that Undershaw is saved for the Nation, and that includes access to the general public all year round.
David Charles Rose created and co-ordinates Academics for Undershaw and you can contact David at email@example.com.

During the campaign Obama raised a considerable amount of ire when he insisted that we sit down and negotiate with the terror regime of Iran over the nuclear weapon issue.
Those who believe that we cannot negotiate with terrorist are angry that Obama tactic to open the dialogue without any conditions attatched to such an adventure.
Obama has instead positioned the American and Jewish concerns into a weakened groundwork by making this bold extension of his "olive leaf".
Since he has stated this position publically Iran has been emboldened to the point to where they are now demanding that Washington apologize for his past transgressions and itself has set a myriad of conditions in order to discuss the issue with us all the while they continue to build their bomb.
In addition to this reckless and dangerously naive policy course Obama has told Israel (actually ordered) to stop its building of settlements and under any circumstances are they to engage in a "pre-emptive strike" against Iranian nuclear facilities with further embolden the terrorist regime.
Netenyahu has openly defied Obama's order to the Jewish State and vows to continue to build its settlements and will likely do what it is in its best interest regarding any military strikes to pretect its citizens from being obliterated by Islamic Fundamentalists.
Obama is still undeterred by Israels defiance and has now sent his most senior advisors back to Israel in order to "order" them again to "cease and desist".
So, instead of holding a firm stance against the terror state in manner that Obama is doing with Israel he is doing his best to ensure that the Jewish state will "cease to exist"!

text: Click here if you are having trouble viewing the slideshow on a mobile device.OAKLAND – Throughout his tenure as coach of the Warriors, Steve Kerr has shown the penchant for announcing drastic lineup changes minutes before postseason games.Three years ago, after publicly saying he wouldn't make any changes after Game 3 of the 2015 NBA Finals, Kerr replaced center Andrew Bogut with Andre Iguodala in the starting lineup.In Saturday's 113-92 win over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 1 of the Western Conference first-round playoff series, Kerr exhibited the habit once more, inserting Iguodala at point guard ahead of Quinn Cook to bolster the team's defense while easing Cook's transition into his first postseason.Iguodala played well in the role, scoring three points, adding seven rebounds and four assists in 23 minutes. However, it was his defense that helped turn the tide for a unit that has struggled over the last month, posting a 106.8 defensive rating over the span."Just wanted to put our best defensive lineup on the floor from the beginning," Kerr said. "I think the whole point of these games here early in this series is to reestablish our defense."Said guard Klay Thompson: "Andre gives us so much on both ends, especially the defensive end, his ability to guard every position. He's got some of the best hands I've ever seen and our ability to switch I think disrupted them.""Andre is a great all-around player," Warriors forward Kevon Looney said. "He can play point (guard), one through three, sometimes he plays the four for us. He's our glue guy, he's a great leader."Kerr's confidence in Iguodala comes with good reason. Nearly three years ago, with the Warriors trailing 2-1 in the NBA Finals to the Cleveland Cavaliers, he inserted the veteran forward in the starting lineup in place of Bogut. Iguodala, making his first start of the season, turned the series around, averaging 16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, capturing the Finals MVP.Iguodala's starting role Saturday coincided with the demotion of Cook. Over the past month, he has established himself as a capable scoring threat, averaging 17.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.9 assists starting in place of Stephen Curry. Cook's ability to score efficiently, combined with the team's need for point guard depth forced the Warriors to sign him for the remainder of the season. Still, Cook took the demotion in stride."I'm all about the team," Cook said. "Everybody here is all about the team and wants to win. I think that's what makes this team so special. Guys aren't worried about minutes, guys aren't worried about starting, none of that."Cook still played 25 minutes and scored five points with two assists."I think Quinn (Cook) played great," Looney said. "He shot the ball well, he was fearless, went out there and played his role to the best of his abilities."Lineup changes have been commonplace for the Warriors this season. With various injuries to Curry, Thompson and Kevin Durant among others, the team has rolled out 27 different starting lineups this season, making Cook's transition to the bench easier."With the last month, having so many injuries, we've had so many funky lineups that we don't usually practice or they aren't ideal lineups just because of the circumstances this past month," Cook said.With Curry's inevitable return bringing yet another lineup change, Cook isn't worried."Guys aren't worried about minutes, guys aren't worried about starting, none of that," Cook said. "Everybody's buying into what we need to do. I'm just trying to keep learning from these guys. First playoff game and I thought we prepared great."

Often the feature of films and stories Tornadoes or as they are also known,Twisters, are a very real threat. A tornado is a column of air rotating rapidly and aggressively which touches both the earth and the base of a cumolonimbus cloud. These wind funnels move across the land channeled between ground and cloud for usually a few miles with wind speeds of around 100 miles per hour but some extreme twisters have been recorded to spin at over 300 miles per hour! These strong winds are capable of picking up and throwing almost amything in their path, even cars and heavy objects are picked up and thrown around like toys.
There are many variations of Tornado, for example some form over land, some over water and some have multiple vortexes. It is debated whether water spouts are technically tornadoes but they behave similarly and other such variations include dust devils, gustnados, steam devils and fire whirls. These different variations occur in different landscapes and sharp winds formed from sandstorms for example can be confused as a variation of tornado but they are technically not unless the funnel of wind is connected to a cumolonimbus cloud and the ground or in some rare cases the base of a cumulus cloud.
Tornadoes have occurred across every continent barring Antarctica but most take place in the US, particularly in the appropriately named Tornado Alley region. Storm spotters can usually spot these wind funnels before or as they form plus many buildings in the US are tornado proof that they are nevertheless a great threat still and can be incredibly destructive. The power of these Tornadoes is measured by damage caused via the Fujita scale. The weakest FO or EFO Tornadoes can damage trees maybe small structures but no real damage whilst an F5 or EO5 can destroy large buildings and even skyscrapers! Another scale of measuring Tornado power is the Torro scale shich ranges from T0 to T11.
For a challenge why not try reading this article and then seeing if you can remember the complicated cloud names that a Tornado comes from!

- Title: The Sacrificial Man
- Author: Ruth Dugdall
- Genre: Dark Fiction/Thriller
- Format: Kindle
- Source: Netgalley
- Reviewed by: Mark Matthews
- Rating: 5 out of 5
Description: What I want to say is that suicide is my choice. No-one else is to blame. Man seeks beautiful woman for the journey of a lifetime: Will you help me to die?'
When Probation Officer Cate Austin is given her new assignment, she faces the highest-profile case of her career. Alice Mariani is charged with assisted suicide and Cate must recommend a sentence. Alice insists her story is one of misinterpreted love, forcing those around her to analyse their own lives. Who is to decide what is normal and when does loyalty turn to obsession? Investigating the loophole that lies between murder and euthanasia, Cate must now meet the woman who agreed to comply with her lover's final request. Shocking revelations expose bitter truths that can no longer be ignored.
Review: The story of a woman charged with murder for her role in an assisted suicide. Is this murder, or compassion?
Such is an ethical dilemma for our time, but here the implications are deeper for the woman consumed some of the dead man's flesh. Was this just offering a merciful helping hand or something more sinister? The question is not only if a crime was committed, but if so, is the culprit sane? and how much of a punishment does she deserve? It is up to her probation officer to recommend a sentence. The plot largely traces and reveals the motives of the characters involved.
The novel has so many secrets that get revealed. Some are subtle and made me grin at the author's craft. At least one made my jaw completely drop to the floor
The point of view switches often from first person to third, to prose to chat messages to journal. Normally when I would see something written in this manner I would think it was too complicated and took too much work to read. Not so here. It blended together seamlessly and I looked forward to each change of pace. It was like a multi-media experience.
The narcissism of the first person narrator is done with a cold, self aware style that you won't soon forget, and offers flashbacks to her time as a child that is full of emotion. There was a sharp realism here that is touching, but none of it bubbled up from the suds of soap-opery moments.
I requested and was accepted this novel on Netgalley, partly because I was looking for a Gillian FLynn-like experience. (If Gillian Flynn ever goes missing, the first place one should look is my own basement.)
As I read I "The Sacrificial Man," I first thought, 'No, this isn't Gillian,' then I thought, 'Heck yeah, this is Gillian's twin,' and then I found the author had a voice all of her own. Overall, this is a fantastic story, with writing that is lyrical, flowing, and eloquent, yet with an unmistakeable edge.

This study offers a comprehensive, 360 degree analysis on the Skin Lightening Products market, bringing to fore insights that can help stakeholders identify the opportunities as well as challenges. It tracks the global Skin Lightening Products market across key regions, and offers in-depth commentary and accurate quantitative insights. The study also includes incisive competitive landscape analysis, and provides key recommendations to market players on winning imperatives and successful strategies.
Increasing R&D on different product lines is creating significant revenue opportunities for manufacturers of skin lightening products
The global skin lightening products market includes a number of product types such as lotion and cream, foam, gel, serum and toner and scrub. According to Future Market Insights' research report, the lotion and cream segment leads the market with a high margin. This segment is expected to reach a market value of over US$ 8,900 Mn in 2027, up from about US$ 4,800 Mn in 2017, growing at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period of 2017-2027. This growth in revenue can be attributed to the wide availability of lotions and creams in the skin care industry. Increasing research and development in the skin lightening products industry is creating significant revenue opportunities for the skin lightening products market across the globe. The serum and toner market is expected to witness a comparatively higher growth rate than other product types with 6.8% CAGR in terms of revenue recorded during the forecast period. The market's growth is also a result of rising annual expenditure on skin care products. The improving lifestyle of customers due to rapidly rising disposable income is increasing the purchasing power on personal grooming products. This is a key factor boosting global market revenue growth.
Multi-brand specialty stores and plant-extracted ingredients for products are trending the global market for skin lightening products
The use of plant extracts in skincare products is a rising trend among consumers, who are increasingly looking to buy eco-friendly products. The belief among consumers is that these bioactive extracts would take good care of their skin by providing sufficient nutrients, resulting in healthy skin, and would not cause any side effects. For instance, Organic Harvest's Skin Lightening Cream contains the most concentrated plant-powered brightening blend to diminish the appearance of dark spots and discoloration. It uses the power of white mulberry and organic daisy flowers to promote surface cell turnover for greater skin clarity and luminosity. It also contains olive oil, rich in vitamin A and E, which removes dead skin, hydrates the skin, maintains skin elasticity, and repairs sun damages caused to the skin. It is free of parabens, mineral oil, and animal ingredients. The company also markets Organic Harvest Skin Whitening Face Wash. Also, Amaira Natural Lightening Serum is incorporated with mulberry and orchid extract, made from plant-based and natural ingredients. The use of harsh chemicals and parabens is prohibited.
Another major trend governing the global skin lightening products market is an increase in the number of multi-brand speciality stores. Personal health and beauty stores have been traditionally the most preferred distribution channels for cosmetic and skincare products such as skin whitening and lightening products and anti-ageing products. However, currently, multi-brand specialty stores have emerged as one of the top retail channels for skincare products across the Asia Pacific, due to the availability of a variety of brands offering skin lightening and whitening products, ranging from mass to premium price segments. Furthermore, the increasing demand for convenience and the growing preference towards high quality and effective skincare products have pushed consumers to buy products from multi-speciality stores and departmental stores, rather than from speciality stores. Some of the multi-brand speciality stores across the region have launched their own online platforms, mobile apps, and social networking websites in order to cater to more customers in the skin lightening products market. Such stores provide consumers a one-stop shopping experience and play an important role in brand building, thus stimulating consumers to buy skin lightening products of their choice and need. Also, the increasing retail penetration of foreign brands in the skin lightening products market such as L'Oreal, Procter & Gamble, Shiseido, and other brands has further pushed market revenue generation in the overall skin lightening products market across the globe.
Manufacturers of skin lightening products are increasing their efforts to grab more customers. This has significantly intensified the level of competition in the global market.

Also a bit of googling reveals that some people have problems getting all the sensors to work on various system monitors and usually edit the code themselves, if that helps. I only found stuff on the Ubuntu forum about it, though. - Sep 06 2009
Whilst I really like this theme, I have the same problem with it that I have with every other Karamba theme that uses lm_sensors - the temperature never displays. The only time it works right is in the default KDE 4 System Monitor Plasmoid and Yasp. I've got lm_sensors installed and it works fine from the command line.
Since all this works in Kubuntu, I am going to assume it's because I'm using Arch Linux. So maybe lm_sensors isn't where it is for Kubuntu users or others. I really have no idea where to start.
Can you help?
Thx - Sep 05 2009
