Binance CEO Apologizes for Using the Word 'Reorg', Gives Post-Hack Status Update
On Friday (May 10), Binance Co-Founder and CEO, Changpeng Zhao (aka "CZ"), talked about some important changes for improving security that are currently being made at the crypto exchange following the major security breach on Tuesday (May 7) that resulted in a loss of over 7,000 BTC from its Bitcoin hot wallet.
AT 08:00 UTC on Friday, CZ provided the following "security incident update":
- CZ wants to be as honest and transparent as possible with all Binance users ("Binancians"), but he needs to be careful too since hackers are reading/watching everything posted by Binance and its CEO.
- The Binance team is working hard to significantly improve "security measures, procedures, and practices"; some of these changes will be done during this one week window where deposits and withdrawals are suspended, and they will try to implement the others as soon as possible afterwards.
- In particular, the team is "making significant changes to the API, 2FA, and withdrawal validation areas".
- Other areas marked for improvement are "risk management, user behavior analysis, and KYC procedures", as well as detection of phishing attacks.
- Binance is adding support for two-factor authentication (2FA) devices such as YubiKey; as a way of promoting this new feature, they will give away 1,000 YubiKey devices.
- As Binance previously stated in the original blog post regarding the security breach and in CZ's AMA session, funds were only stolen from Binance's Bitcoin hot wallet, and no other hot/cold wallets were affected.
- Binance is working with around a dozen top security experts to improve the security of its platform and to try to catch the hackers.
- Binance is working with several security and blockchain analytics firms to try to track down the stolen bitcoin, as well as working with many crypto exchanges and other financial service providers to "freeze the stolen funds."
- The team is in a "fighting mode" and is determined to make Binance "far stronger and more secure in the long run."
- CZ will continue to communicate frequently with the crypto community via Twitter, even though he realizes that he sometimes might say the wrong things (like using "dirty words" such as "reorg"), for which he apologizes.
- CZ concludes by saying that his team is hoping to be able to re-enable deposists and withdrawals by "early next week."

The Right to Choose Death
Sunday Business Post (IE), Siobhán Brett
Philip Nitschke is now 71 years of age, but he was almost 50 when he
came up with a device he called a "deliverance machine".
The Australian doctor set up a bedside computer that was designed – once three unambiguous questions were answered affirmatively – to administer a lethal dose of barbiturates, intravenously, with one click.
Since then, Nitschke and his contemporaries in the right-to-die movement have moved on from rudimentary beginnings (including, at the start, makeshift techniques using helium balloon kits and plastic bags) to newer, more elaborate means of ending one's own life …

Discussion in 'The Cesspit: Rugby League Discussion' started by Maroon_Faithful, Mar 14, 2019.
What did James Graham get?
Also herpes.
lol he's just using cam smith's 400th game to promote his communist women in league agenda to take down a masculine aspect of australian culture
How many people have heard the Yvonne and Cam rumours?
Everyone I think. Definitely strikes me as the classic fake rumour though.
Heard this about 12 months ago, this still doing the rounds?
Same just insinuating it might have been a bit of a gratitude present from Greenturd for not spilling the beans.
I haven't heard it, how is that possible?
12 months ago? I thought it was more like 2-3 years ago.
Okay pal
Kick Haas
cam smith's wife is pretty ugly
What the fuck was with the 2 binnings last night. The Turpin one wasn't outrageous as he did have a clenched fist, even though the cunt slid at him. But all TPJ did was complete a tackle, shouldn't have been a penalty.
Isaako should've got binned for tackling Haas after scoring.
Yeh the TPJ one was just unfortunate, you could argue careless but I definitely don't think it was a sin bin. I can't believe he is facing 5 weeks on the sideline for that...
I actually thought Turpin's one was blatant and probably the closest we've seen to a send off this year. He had plenty of time to pull out of it if he wanted, clenched fist on a player who was already on the ground before he had committed to the tackle. It was reckless.
TPJ potentially copping 5 weeks for completing a tackle is insanity.
It's borderline corrupt when guys like Sam Burger barely cop anything.
Gonna need to be a cleanout at the Cows including a major change in tactics when they play. Sooner this season is done the better.
Beyond pathetic.
Separate names with a comma.

Kelly says in "The orchard"
"Bright shapes in the dark garden, The gardenless stretch of old yard, sweetened now by the half-light as if by burning flowers. OverTune. First gesture. The gesture, the window frame composing the space, so it seems as if time has stopped, as if this dark, this winter grass, plated with frost, these unseen silent birds might stay forever.
All our murals, pictures of gardens and presiding deities, things painted on plaster to keep the dying company, a toppled jar, a narrow bird, an ornamental tree with no name…might stay forever.
As if I wanted to stop the time and leave the garden as it is and don't let it die. The garden " as it is a symbol of paradise in persian rugs concept design" I wanted the paradise to stay forever in silent. I want to live in paradise. I keep my paradise alive.

Until recently, few outside Ukraine knew about Volodymyr Zelenskiy, even though his hugely popular sitcom Servant of the People, is now into its fourth season—a 'must see' for most Ukrainians. In the serial, Zelenskiy—one of the best known comedians in the country—plays the role of an honest history teacher who, through his rant against the system and subsequent popularity through social media, is catapulted as president. Now, in an instance of supreme irony, people in Ukraine and elsewhere have begun to wonder if real life is going to imitate 'reel life'. For, if the current political trend continues, from April 21 onwards it is Zelenskiy who will be anointed as President of this geo-strategically important country along the Black Sea coastline on Russia's doorstep.
The Ukrainian comedian may not be the only upset winner in the forthcoming presidential polls if he upstages current president, 53-year old Petro Poroshenko in the second round of elections. In the first round, Zelenskiy, who polled 19 per cent, pipped both Poroshenko (16 per cent) and Yulia Tymoshenko. The first two now face off on April 21.
In Slovakia last week, voters opted for Zuzana Caputova, 45, a rights lawyer with little political background, over the ruling leftist Smern social-democratic party candidate, Maros Sefcovic. In doing so, Slovakia, which broke away from former Czechoslovakia in 1993, elected its first-ever female president.
The same trend—a relative political outsider storming a well-defended bastion—was seen in late last year's election in Brazil. Jair Bolsonaro, a former army captain and a far-right party leader, who has defended the military rule in Brazil (1964-85) that killed thousands of leftist workers and supporters, became president, ending the 14-year rule of the Worker's Party.
These developments indicate that the world's political stage has been going through a churn in the past few years, the outcome being the advent of newcomers, some with little or no background in politics, to dominate the scene in a whirlwind of sorts, surprising established political personalities and consigning them to the margins.
While many new entrants would happily lend their name in an 'also ran' list, some have displayed the resourcefulness and mettle to rout stalwart adversaries in keenly contested elections. In politics, the sudden advent of a bright spark is usually seen in local council or mayoral elections. The current barrage of upset victories, defying political punditry, is unique in that many of these contests have been for the countries' topmost political offices.
There is a common thread that runs through the campaign style of these three leaders. Bolsonaro campaigned largely from his bed after being seriously wounded in a knife attack at an election rally, relying on the social media skills of his young band of supporters to spread his message of strong action against corruption—a rousing call to action in a country saturated by scams in recent years.
Zuzana Caputova's slogan 'Stand up for Evil' seems to have caught the zeitgeist; it helped her in securing 58.4 per cent of the votes against her rival's 41.6 per cent. Also an environmentalist, Caputova first gained prominence when she marched with over 5.4 million people in anti-government protests over the February 2018 killing of investigative journalist Jan Kuciak and his fiancee. With her campaign to weed out "corruption and influence peddling" among prosecutors and police, she seemed to have struck a deep chord that resonated with most Slovakians. She thanked supporters profusely: "I am happy not just for the result but mainly that it is possible not to succumb to populism, to tell the truth, to raise interest without aggressive vocabulary." That the race was low on rancour is proven by her closest rival Sefcovic's comment: "I will send her flowers. The first woman president deserves a bouquet."
The Slovakian president's role may be largely ceremonial, but it's another matter in Ukraine, which has an executive presidency. Zelenskiy's attempt to reach out to voters has been unique. In his deliberately, and cunningly, unconventional campaign, there were no official rallies bristling with political speeches, but only funny and cheerful videos, dances and jokes at what can only be called political gatherings. They were a massive draw. "No promises, no disappointment," he had quipped blithely. At a large gathering at a football stadium a week before the March 31 polls, he said, "There is a no rally here. You are smart people, you know what to do, right?" Zelenskiy is a step away from creating a big upset in Ukraine's politics. His incredible run shows that democracies are susceptible, as ever, to the anti-establishment wave roiling world politics.
The phenomenon unfolded before a stunned world through 2016, when rank outsider Donald Trump ran through a crowded Republican Party field, grabbed the coveted nomination and, in the November 2016 US presidential polls, scored a spectacular upset by defeating Hillary Clinton. Trump's victory also coincided with the assembly of a number of leaders across the world sporting 'tough' images—their agenda being to dismantle the existing status quo.
However, there are some leaders who stand on the other side of the pale, like the 58-year old prime minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern, a thorough liberal once monikered by Vogue magazine as "anti-Trump". Not only did she become the second woman leader after former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto to have a baby while in office. It was her sure-footed, firm stand amidst New Zealand's direst hour of trial—when a right-wing fanatic gunned down 50 worshippers in two Christchurch mosques last month—that established her as a 'woman of substance'.
While most politicians would try to milk a tragedy like this for political gain, as Turkey's Erdogan had tried to do, Ardern stood out for her empathetic and determined political response that included reforming gun laws and criticising those trying to politicise the situation. That, and the rich notes of poignancy she effortlessly hit in her addresses to the nation, won her plaudits from supporters and critics alike. When Trump called her up and asked what he could do, she replied unhesitatingly, "empathy for all Muslim communities". At memorials for the Muslim victims and at their funerals, she showed that empathy in person. Ardern's political astuteness was evident, too, in her decision to keep the Australian gunman unnamed. "He sought many things from his act of terror. But one was notoriety. He is a terrorist. He is a criminal. He is an extremist. But he will, when I speak, be nameless," she had memorably said in New Zealand's parliament.
Some among these new leaders will morph into more mature politicians and perhaps, even statesmen who will be remembered for their liberal policies. Some, indeed, might chart an opposite course—something populist leaders should always be wary of. Some, after a brief flaring up of latent talent, will simply fade away. The world political stage is theirs; it is upon them now to honour the trust bestowed by so many hopeful millions.
Ukraine A popular comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskiy is front-runner at presidential polls
Slovakia Rights lawyer Zuzana Caputova became the country's first woman president
Brazil Former soldier and far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro won polls on a hardline cry against corruption

A year after Great Yarmouth's Regent Road blaze - a reflection
PUBLISHED: 10:19 04 August 2017 | UPDATED: 14:18 05 August 2017
Moss Pishbin
It was one of the biggest and most devastating fires in living memory. A year after a fierce blaze tore through Great Yarmouth's most famous tourism thoroughfare at the height of the holiday season reporter Liz Coates revisits the scene
As the summer holidays bring a tide of tourists to Great Yarmouth many will be hard pushed to imagine the scenes of fiery destruction that played out like a disaster movie last year.
What they will notice is the empty space along the busy street where the line of gaudy shop fronts is interrupted like blown bulbs in a string of colourful fairy lights.
Walk down Regent Road and you can see the vacant plot, shrouded by hoardings, once home to a cluster of stall holders, a tattoo artist, and cafe, with Regent Bowl, the oldest bowling alley in the country, situated above.
Twelve months after fire engulfed the indoor market and bowling alley destroying shops and livelihoods Regent Road is still as busy as ever, jolly gifts, sugary treats and fidget spinners touted at every turn, the "pearl of the town" having lost none of its appeal.
At the time of the blaze in the early hours of Friday, August 5 there were fears the whole summer would be harmed, and even summers to come as the street recovered and new uses were scoped out for the redevelopment of the site.
But for a town that trades on tourism there was no time to wallow in misfortune, everyone had to bounce back.
Great Yarmouth was still very much open for business, that was the message, but when real progress would be made nobody knew.
In those first hours after the blaze took hold the whole town held its breath and a collective sense of shock and grief hung over the resort like the clouds of billowing smoke that were visible for miles.
Social media was alive with pictures and comment as the town came to a standstill and the scale of the tragedy unfolded.
Fire crews were scrambled from across Norfolk to battle the blaze and, crucially, to stop it from spreading, and police officers patrolling the area were seen wearing face masks.
Public gratitude was one of the main stories in the days that followed, along with trying to help affected businesses to carry on.
The first alerts came in at around 3.20am.
For many people it meant waking up to the grim news, unimaginable scenes, and fears people could be trapped inside.
More than 100 firefighters and some 41 fire appliances faced danger and risk tackling one of the biggest fires in living memory as the roof eventually came crashing in.
Roads in the area were closed, a cordon put in place, and several nearby properties were evacuated as crews attempted to bring the flames under control and save the next door grade II listed Regent Theatre and the terraced homes nearby.
Water was pumped from the nearby river to help tackle the fire as it ravaged the area.
At the time Norfolk Fire Service operations commander, Paul Seaman, said: "Our first crews did an excellent job preventing the fire from spreading in the early stages."
The smoke from the blaze could be seen for miles and people in the town awoke on Friday to express their shock at what had happened, some saying they were moved to tears, the bowling alley being held in high affection as the scene of milestone celebrations and nights out.
At its height there were 29 fire appliances at the scene, including 15 hoses and four high-level platforms, but in total 41 appliances were assigned to the incident, which included crews changing over and others standing by at cover stations.
A rest centre was set up at the Marina Centre for people who were evacuated from buildings nearby.
Regent Bowl, which opened 53 years ago, and the indoor market, which contained over 30 stalls, were reduced to ashes.
The recovery process started the next day when demolition teams moved in to remove the debris.
And as well as being a scene of devastation the site became a tourist attraction in itself with a constant stream of people peering through the fences to look at the blackened remains.
The mayor of Great Yarmouth at the time, Malcolm Bird, said the blaze in a road he considered "the pearl of the town" could not have come at a worse time – in the peak of the holiday season.
Regent Road is the main thoroughfare between the town and seafront and at the time of the blaze shops would have been fully stocked to take advantage of the peak summer season.
The fire led to the Mercury publishing a special edition that came out later on on that fateful day that shocked and pulled the town together.

For years, China has been the world leader in wind power generation. Just by looking at the dazzling numbers of installed and anticipated onshore & offshore capacity, it is clear that the Chinese wind power market can't be ignored. According to experts of Wood MacKenzie and FTI Consulting, China will become the largest offshore wind market after 2021. From 2019 onward, China will probably install 2 GW per year, raising to 4GW annually by 2025. With these numbers in mind, combined with the fact that new offshore projects will be developed further offshore – thus more complex to install – China remains interesting for Dutch wind energy companies.
For the ninth time in a row HHWE will organize a Holland Pavilion at the China Wind Power (CWP) 2019.
The CWP is by far the most important platform in Asia for (inter)national wind energy companies, with a focus on both onshore and offshore wind. In 2018, a total of more than 30.000 visitors from 30 countries visited the fair & conference.

ROWERS at Helford River Gig Club will have a new boat to go out onto the water soon.
The club has purchased the gig built by David Currah after receiving a grant from SITA Cornwall Trust which was coupled together with club funds.
They have decided to call the boat Helford as it will be replacing another by the same name, which the club sold to Exmouth last year.
A naming and blessing ceremony has been arranged for March 28 at 11am by the Ferry Boat Inn with Rev Canon Bill Stuart-White, the Archdeacon of Cornwall, conducting the service.
Before then, club members will be working hard to get the pilot gig ready to take the water with varnishing and painting on the list of things to do.
On the day of the ceremony, other clubs are welcome to go along and row alongside Helford.

The Japanese girl group BANANA Lemon is releasing LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME, music video. The video consisted some powerful dancing moves, and all the girls are really channeling their girl crush image. Rather than showing the cutesy sides of J Pop they really go bold on this video, and proofing that Japanese artists are able to do dance, sing, and rap, I've posted about the on my previous post BANANA LEMON. Back on May, Kehlani even posted the group's performance on her insta story, actually there are some cases where people thought k pop idols are the only people who can do those entertaining stuffs, however in the recent years the Japanese music industry is start to grow bigger, and bigger.
View this post on Instagram
Us together with one and only @kehlani 👭 Her performance is lit, the attitude is real, and the personality is sweet❤Thank you Kehlani and her beautiful team🔥We definitely will meet up so soon<3 . ケラーニさんのライブ&アフターパーティーに参加してきました✨なんと飛び入りでライブをさせて頂いて、さらにそれをケラーニさんがインスタストーリーに上げてくださるという奇跡😆🔥ケラーニさん、ケラーニチームのみなさん、本当にありがとうございました❤ . #kehlani #ケラーニ #バナナレモン #バナレモ #BananaLemon #渋谷 #原宿 #Shibuya #Harajuku #Saarah #Nadia #Rino #Mizuki #MixedRace #AsianPersuasioin #🍌🍋 #jpop #girlgroup #girls #Tokyo #Japan
BANANA LEMON is a little different from the groups like AKB48, or their sister groups, they're not afraid to show off the sexiness, and twerking, I could say the international fans are going to love BANANA LEMON because they look different. The members are able to speak English, especially Sarah who's fluent in English, and definitely showing diversity on the group as well. They have been performing in Tokyo International Music Market too. Over all I really love LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME I really think the video is so cool, its definitely showing the other side of J Pop, and its mature form of J Pop, because I don't think a lot of younger girls are going to like girl crush concepts. They also having fun with the music video. I really love the sassy-ness because just "LOOK AT ME", you know the feels of being the central attention on some occasions are not bad all all (sometimes).

Don't get me wrong I am actually loving having some milder days, but gee I wish we could get some rain here! The fellows are out planting away in the hope that the rain will turn up, and I suppose as I have always said "it always rains after a dry spell", but I wish it actually would! To be this dry and hot so late in the season is a worry for us who get our income from agriculture, but anyway thats enough of a whinge.
For some reason this lovely day brought back some memories of a trip to Craigs Hut with my cousins back in 2012, feeling the need to get some crisp mountain air into my lungs. It is terrible how we never visit the 'touristy' spots enough when we live closer...

Many thanks to all who came out in support of the vital work we do, and a special thanks to our event host University of New Haven.

Will You Help?
Right now our state legislators must cut more than $900 million, or raise revenue to avoid cuts. Most of the cuts will likely come from non-profit providers of services to low-income, disabled and otherwise struggling families. This will make it almost impossible to meet the needs of low-income families in our state.
It's time to voice your concerns to our elected officials.They need to know that enough is enough!
We encourage you to contact your legislators, and ask them not to cut programs that serve low-income children and families and the disabled.
Please take a moment to contact our West Haven legislators:
State Rep. Steve Dargan
State Rep. Louis Esposito
State Rep. Charles Ferraro
State Sen. Gary Winfield
State Sen. Gayle Slossberg
Writing, phoning or emailing a public official does make a difference.
You can say or email the following:
"My name is (insert your name), I live in (insert the town you live in). I am very concerned about cuts to the state budget that impact services for low-income families. Specifically, I am concerned that the programs that the West Haven Community House (WHCH) provides may be cut.
For 75 years, the Community House has been the cornerstone social service agency in West Haven. These budget cuts will directly impact their ability to provide programs and services for children and families and for adults with developmental disabilities. Hundreds of West Haven families rely on WHCH's Head Start preschool, Children & Youth Services programs including before & after school care and summer programs. In addition, the cuts will also impact their ability to provide quality services for adults with developmental disabilities that foster community inclusion and improve the quality of their lives."
Summer Program Registration Open
If you, or someone you know, is looking for child care during the summer months, registration for our Summer Programis now open.
Beginning June 20th, we offer 8 weeks of child care for children who have completed Kindergarten through 6th grade. The program includes field trips to state parks, museums and other attractions and is facilitated by
experienced, motivated staff that are CPR/First Aid certified.

Trek DEMO - SHOW BIKE Procaliber 9.9 RSL
What is a "SHOW BIKE" you may ask? Its special. It's been hand picked among it's peers to be put on display for all the eyes in the cycling industry to adore. Show bikes are the run way models among bikes. Quite literally, on the cover of magazines, adored in photo shoots and longing to be ridden.
All show bikes come with all standard manufacture warranties, and Summit's famous lifetime tune ups. Now get off the fence and get the bike all other bikes are jealous of.
**Exact Color and spec may be different per show bike.
Back in the day, the venerable Procaliber was THE cross country race bike. Guess what? It's still THE XC race bike. Trek's Procaliber 9.9 SL is made for one thing: crushing XC race courses and those who dare try hang on your wheel. That's not to say it only races. Shocking your friends, besting personal times up hill climbs, or just trying to squeeze that after-work loop in before it gets dark, the Procaliber is down. The full carbon frame uses Trek's tried and true IsoSpeed decoupler for the ultimate in lightweight efficiency that gently hints at a full-suspension rig. Up front, RockShox's inverted RS-1 leads the charge with a custom 100mm fork. And they don't call it "pro" for nothing, as this baby rocks XTR 1x11 gearing powered by full carbon Race Face Next cranks while XTR Race discs rein in the velocity. Everything on it is carbon: the Bontrager bars, stem, post, saddle rails, DT Swiss wheels, you name it. Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
|Trek's G2 Geometry (version 2 of Gary Fisher's Genesis Geometry) delivers the ultimate ride for every trail. Genesis earned rave reviews for awesome handling on climbs and descents thanks to a long top tube paired with a short stem that moves the front wheel forward for top-notch confidence and control, while short chainstays add phenomenal traction. G2 Geometry takes these handling traits to the next level by boosting control on tight singletrack and technical climbs, too. This is accomplished by increasing the amount of fork offset (reducing trail), which makes G2 bikes steer more quickly, and by shortening the reach, which puts more weight on the front wheel for even better control and confidence. The two animations above showcase how G2 Geometry provides the perfect ride.

Today, I ventured into new Jamaican territory: I rode an inter-city bus from Kingston to Montego Bay. Overall impression: it's the way to go for single travellers or even a couple. The bus fleet comes from China. It has comfortable seats. The operating company, Knutsford Express, have recruited and trained staff well: drivers don't take silly risks; ticketing staff are courteous and clear-speaking. They don't seem interested in bending rules. The bus was due to drive past my destination, but no way would the driver stop there. So, I rode to the airport, then took a taxi back to the desired stop–it cost about the same for that as the trip from Kingston.
More important for me was my condition on arrival: I was fresh and not stiff. Last weekend, I'd driven from Kingston to MoBay on Saturday morning and felt like I'd done 15 rounds with Mike Tyson. After the drive back on Sunday afternoon, I was just readu to collapse into a chair and have dinner. Not so, today.
Another plus for me was the lack of stress and ability to take in the surroundings. We left town at 5am, and mist was all over the countryside. As we moved inland and higher, I could enjoy the full sunrise and clouds. I kept my eyes and phone camera busy. You can enjoy some of what I saw.
A final word to my fellow blogger, Emma Lewis, who made a similar venture to Negril some months ago. She warned me about the stream of Tyler Perry movies shown during her ride. I'd shuddered at that prospect. But, my ride had a blend of soft r&b, with R Kelly prominent. Then, after a stop at Ocho Rios, down came the movie screen. The opening credits. The opening scenes. I saw no stock Tyler Perry character. The movie was 'Jump the broom'. What a relief!

One April evening in 1779, Martha Ray, the pretty mistress of a famous aristocrat, was shot dead at point-blank range by a young clergyman who then attempted to take his own life. Instead he was arrested, tried and hanged. In this fascinating new book, John Brewer, a leading historian of eighteenth-century England, asks what this peculiar little story was all about. Then as now, crimes of passion were not uncommon, and the story had the hallmarks of a great scandal–yet fiction and fact mingled confusingly in all the accounts, and the case was hardly deemed appropriate material for real history. (from Goodreads)
I had zero expectations with this book, since I mostly bought it because I liked the picture in the cover and because it was super cheap. I barely read the dust jacket synopsis, so I wasn't even sure if it was either a fiction or non-fiction book. Impulsive purchase at its finest. So it was a very pleasant surprise to realise that I was actually liking it very much and that it was right up my alley.
Parting from the murder of Martha Ray, mistress of the Earl of Sandwich, by James Hackman, Brewer introduces us to these protagonists, their place in London's Georgian society and how the murder and their role in the event were interpreted by their contemporaries and during the subsequent centuries.
I liked the way the author sets every account made of these events in their cultural context, expliciting why certain interpretations and treatments of them and their protagonists were favored at certain times, how and why some manufactured letters became little less than "historical documents", influencing later accounts of this story and how the concept that history has of itself varies through time and affects other literary and pseudo-historical genres.
It also made me reflect in the way our culture and moral values as a society permeate our own interpretations of events in our own time and how we see and judge past times, and how we should approach said times to try to get a closer comprehension to the way those events were perceived contemporarily.
I found this article by the author that more or less sums up the events of the murder and hints some of the things that he expands in the book, in case I got you interested in the book and/or subject.

On Tuesday morning at 10, six dance walkers met at the northeast side of the Druid Hill reservoir. It was a gray day and chilly. We acted shy at first. But one arm in the air led to another. Guided by roller-derby veteran Jannel Cannady on skates, we walked fast and laughed for a few hundred feet then we stopped laughing and dance-walked. A couple taking a stroll called out to us with big smiles, "Are you doing aerobics or walking or what?" And we relaxed more. We ran up the grassy hill and danced before the enormous Wallace Monument. Yeah, the scene turned immature and pretty dorky. And it became big fun for 40 minutes, the time it took us to complete one hip-shaking 1.5-mile circuit around the rippling water.
Windy weather and public embarrassment weren't our only obstacles Tuesday. Technology, too. Steven Tappe, a nurse at the University of Maryland Medical Center, brought his phone that streams a radio app, but the music — everything from slow Steve Winwood to random calypso – came and went. (Tomorrow, at the next official Dance Walk party at 10 a.m. a boom-box is scheduled to attend.) But as we dance-walked on, we all talked some. And the lack of music wasn't a tragedy.
Baltimore Fishbowl contributor Michael Yockel (below, left), a former music critic, and Steve (below, right) danced for one long stretch of lane as if they heard fast-pumping music.
"This is like my dream-come-true activity," said Adena Galinsky (pictured below), who's doing her post-doc at Hopkins. "It's outside; it's dancing; it's with other people. Ordinarily, when you're dancing, you're stuck in a club. This is the middle of the day – I have energy."
Cannady, who's training to become a midwife, works as a shared employee at three shops in Hampden, Charlotte Elliott, owned by Dance Walk organizer Charlotte Hays Murray, 9th Life, and Dreamland. As she skated circles around the rest of us, her tall form and long hair creating an inspiring visual, I thought of my several friends who'd declined to attempt the activity out of fear of looking, well, uncool.
"I could see it taking off it people got into costumes that are really out there, like silly 80s aerobic outfits," said one hesitant pal, adding, "And I think there should be drinks involved. Why isn't it at 7 p.m.?"
Why? Because Hays Murray opens her store at 11, and wants to create a new space in which friends, with room for new friends, can jump-start their day. Friends who are tired of working out at the gym day after day.
"Exercise [has become] solitary," Hays Murray said. "This is multi-generational. You can have a big group and work out at any level you want."
Indeed, our group was multi-generational. Kathleen Adrian, a librarian formerly at the Smithsonian, brought her baby in a stroller. This baby prefers to rock 'n' roll all day, or at least roll. He cries less that way.
"He likes to stay in motion," Adrian said. "Now he's asleep."
But will Hays Murray see her great big group dance-walking the circuit any time soon?
"It still needs the cool approval of someone like Jenn [Wasner] from Wye Oak," said another dance-walk-resistant friend. "Or. You need Richard Simmons."
Or how about popular radio personality Lisa Simeone? She commented this week at Baltimore Fishbowl that she'd like to give the activity a try as soon as her "broken toe heals."
I hope she'll step up because this group's spirit is very cool. Trend-worthy. Wait, maybe it's not cool exactly. It's kid-like. These photos from a gray day don't tell the whole story. Check out this video below and you'll understand better how I believe we all six felt as we made the goofy loop. Next Dance Walk is tomorrow: Saturday, May 12, 10 a.m. Druid Hill Reservoir. Meet adjacent to the tennis courts. Shake your groove thing.

Abu Omar decided to leave his house in Mosul and take his family to other accommodation. The reason? A member of the Sunni Muslim extremist group known as the Islamic State climbed onto the roof of his home recently and planted one of the group's distinctive black flags there. The flag makes his family and his home a target for allied air strikes, Abu Omar, as he wished to be known for security reasons, told NIQASH.
But when his family tried to leave, they were shocked to find that fighters from the Islamic State, or IS, group told them that they couldn't leave.
At a meeting in Abu Omar's house in the Al Arabi neighbourhood of Mosul, he says he feels sure that his family will be killed now.
Sadly, Abu Omar and his family are not the only ones to get a black IS flag on their property. There are dozens of other families who are facing a similar situation around Mosul.
The home of Abu Mohammed – as he wished to be known for security reasons - and his family is under similar threat in the Ghazlani neighbourhood; they also have a flag on their property now and they also fear that this will make them a target for international air strikes.
When he complained to a cousin who joined the IS group, Abu Mohammed was told him that his property has a flag because he did not pledge allegiance to the leader of the IS group and the group's fighters have instructions to put the flags on the rooftops of all those who have not done this. The flags would not be used to decorate the homes of "real Muslims" who did pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-styled leader of the IS group, thus supposedly hiding them from planes flying overhead.
US planes flying overhead have dropped a lot of leaflets in Mosul asking the city's people to stay away from the IS group's headquarters, training camps, hospitals and even from houses where leading members of the group are known to live.
Another Mosul man who wished to be known as Ammar told NIQASH that he had begged IS group members to allow him and his family to leave their home, which is near the Turkish embassy in Mosul and which is now being used as the IS group's main headquarters. He has already sent his sons to stay at a relative's house.
"Three IS group members knocked on all the doors of the houses around here, near the embassy," Ammar told NIQASH. "They told them not to leave their homes. They said if any person does leave their property they will be considered an enemy and the IS group will confiscate his property."
With an ironic smile, Ammar said that the IS group members left after telling all the families there, "you are not better than us. If we die, you die too".
All of the Mosul locals NIQASH spoke with were extremely worried that the IS group's flag-raising tactics were working, saying they had heard rumours of aerial raids in Heet, in the Anbar province, where planes had apparently targeted buildings with the IS flag on and mistakenly caused civilian causalities.
This method of confusing matters and using camouflage on the ground is part of the IS group's new set of tactics, developed after it was announced that an international coalition, including the US, would began air strikes on IS group targets in Iraq. Avoiding civilian casualties is known to be of great concern to the international alliance but this is also difficult because the IS group is well hidden inside a number of cities, both in Iraq and Syria.
The IS group managed to take control of the northern Iraqi city of Mosul in early June this year, after years of having a presence and developing allies there already.
"The international alliance depends heavily on aerial pictures taken by surveillance aircraft and by satellites in order to determine targets for airstrikes," Hisham al-Hashimi, a researcher into armed militias in Iraq who also advises the Iraqi government, told NIQASH. "There is no effective intelligence effort on the ground."
Obviously this increases the chance that there might be civilian causalities, al-Hashimi says. Especially when the IS group are using their flags to complicate things further. Al-Hashimi believes that many of the flags are being posted on the houses of members of other Sunni Muslim militias in the area who had worked together with the IS group to start with but who now refuse to pledge allegiance to al-Baghdadi.
With its "war of flags" it is certain that the IS group, which is cunning with its use of propaganda, is trying to kill two birds with one stone. It hopes to escape aerial bombardment and cause errors that would see civilians killed or injured. The latter will allow the IS group to accuse the international alliance of waging war against innocent Iraqis and gain more support from disgruntled locals in Sunni Muslim-majority areas.
"It is obvious what the IS group is trying to do with their flags," says Ali al-Saray, a local journalist who specialises in writing about politics. "It's trying to stop armed individuals inside their areas from confronting them and also give foreign intelligence false information. If the international alliance bombs civilian sites carrying the IS flags, the organization will use that in its media war."

U.S. Rep. Corrine Brown, a Jacksonville Democrat who has been perhaps the most-outspoken opponent of a congressional redistricting plan, will file a revised federal lawsuit by Dec. 29, according to a court filing Tuesday.
The Florida Supreme Court on Dec. 2 approved a new map that dramatically changes Brown's district, which currently stretches from Jacksonville to Orlando. Under the new plan, the district would run from Jacksonville to Gadsden County, which is west of Tallahassee.
The plan, which received a final sign-off Tuesday from Leon County Circuit Judge Terry Lewis, is aimed at complying with the anti-gerrymandering "Fair Districts" standards approved by voters in 2010. Brown filed a federal lawsuit in August, arguing that reconfiguring her district would reduce African-Americans' chances of electing a candidate of their choice, violating the Voting Rights Act.
Joint status report
The lawsuit was later placed on hold until the Supreme Court approved the new map. The document filed Tuesday in federal court in Tallahassee was a joint status report from attorneys for Brown, the state House, the state Senate, Secretary of State Ken Detzner and voting-rights groups.
It said Brown plans to amend her original complaint by Dec. 29. It also said the League of Women Voters of Florida and Common Cause Florida, the voting-rights groups that led a legal fight to require redrawn districts, will file an amended motion to intervene in the federal case by Jan. 12.

China Announces Tariff Exclusions for U.S. Goods, U.S. Responds with Delay of Tariff Increase
China announced this week the first exclusions from its additional 25 percent tariff on imports of U.S. goods. President Trump then delayed from Oct. 1 to Oct. 15 an increase from 25 to 30 percent in the Section 301 additional tariff on $250 billion worth of goods imported from China.
China Tariff Exclusions. The China tariff exclusions for the following products will take effect Sept. 17 and remain valid for one year. Chinese importers will be eligible for refunds of the additional tariffs paid on these goods and will have six months to apply.

Sally Peng, leader of ST&R's Asia-Pacific Practice Group, notes that these exclusions are valid at the specified eight-digit tariff number except for those goods marked with an asterisk above, in which case the Chinese description of the product will have to be matched for the product to qualify for an exclusion.
For more information on these exclusions or how to obtain refunds, please contact Sally Peng at 852.9535.6034 or Harry Zhang at 86.138.2626.5357.
U.S. Tariff Delay. Following these tariff exclusions, President Trump announced that "as a gesture of good will" he will delay from Oct. 1 to Oct. 15 the planned increase from 25 percent to 30 percent of the Section 301 additional tariff on List 1, 2, and 3 goods from China.

The UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) and the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) have, separately, each published their review of maritime accidents in 2010.
They paint similar pictures of a continuing decrease in the frequency and severity of major accidents, but increasing numbers of accidents and injuries in some categories.
The MAIB reports no merchant vessel losses, and 12 fishing vessel losses in 2010. Sadly, 2010 saw eight fatalities in the merchant vessel category (five non-crew), five fatalities from fishing vessels and the loss of 18 lives in pleasure craft accidents. Comparison in the form of historical data (dating back to 1998 for the MAIB and 2007 for EMSA) provides a useful overview of long term trends, although allowance has to be made for economic cycles and, with the MAIB statistics, variations in the size of the UK flagged fleet.
Recommendations are the prime output of MAIB investigations, 37 being issued to 50 addressees in 2010, all of which have either been accepted or, accepted and yet to be implemented. Recommendations can range from minor practical or procedural changes, to the requirement for new legislation or changes in policy. As such, the outcome of recommendations often has to be viewed over a period of time beyond just the year under review.
EMSA reviews statistics from across the whole EU community, pointing out that there have been no accidents on the scale of the Estonia disaster for nearly 17 years, or major pollution incidents since the loss of the Prestige over eight years ago. They do, however, record an increase both in the number of ships involved in accidents, and number of lives lost. The lower number of potential pollution incidents could, they suggest, be due to shipping being more aware of being monitored 'from above' by the CleanSeaNet monitoring satellite system.
EMSA highlights the potential for the greater consequences of accidents as ships become increasingly larger (no better illustrated than the mega-container ships now being delivered). They also consider there are questions about the ability of current response systems to deal with the removal of such vessels from the site, and any consequential pollution.

It must really suck to lose your job these days, via layoff or even your own overwhelming incompetence, and then see Donald Rumsfeld on the TV just cruising along, everyday outsucking himself.
Ahmadinejad is the embodiment of evil and all that, yet on TV he mostly looks like a creep working at Radio Shack wearing a Members Only jacket.
I saw an interview on TV with a top guy from Hamas, and he was very charming, articulate, immaculately dressed - he almost made you forget his job was to convince confused adolescents to spray hair, blood and bone fragments all over Israeli pizza places.
Sayyid Qutb thought Americans were shallow and soul-less because of their pre-occupation with lawn care, and I guess I can kind of see that. But he also hated Americans for our haircuts, and I think we can compete with any nation, hair-wise.

Bug #1767
cgi/session/pstore generating filenames with to less randomness
Hi there,
after looking through the code of cgi/session/pstore.rb of ruby 1.9.1 I noticed how filenames are created. Line 48 ff a md5 digest is generated over the session id and then the first 16 bytes of the hex string representation of the checksum are used as the filename (together with a prefix).
48 id = session.session_id
49 require 'digest/md5'
50 md5 = Digest::MD5.hexdigest(id)[0,16]
51 path = dir+"/"+prefix+md5
While I undestand that one cannot use a full blown SHA512 hash due to the restrictions of the filename, I really don't understand to do something like that. Since MD5 already is considered weak, the count of possible hashes generated by this method are shortened by 50%. It seems to be pretty clear to me that this makes the algorithm vulnerable to several collision attacks for session hijacking; the attacker doesn't has to get the full MD5 hash, he only has to get the HALF MD5 hash to hijack the session.
With the additional known collisions for the MD5 algorithm itself I think it would be relatively easy to hijack the session just bei intelligent brute force.

Don't Panic. Those are the insightful words that grace the cover of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the fictitious guide in the earthly book by Douglas Adams. I've tried to live by those words for most of my adult life. When our home was broken into in September 2006; don't panic. When United Airlines lost our luggage last Christmas; don't panic. When I discovered I didn't have my wallet with me when I was at the grocery checkout a couple of months ago; don't panic.
As the loved one and primary support of someone diagnosed with cancer, don't panic is a golden rule. Throughout the process you will hear a variety of cancer experiences from people all too willing to share whether you want them to or not, whether they understand the impacts of their stories or not. Surgeons, oncologists, nurses and anaesthetists will use words you've never hear before and will talk about side effects and will likely allude to long term impacts from treatments.
You may even have an experience like we had a week after Andrea's breast cancer diagnosis. Andrea's dentist found a cyst in her mouth and suggested it be biopsied. Thankfully it turned out to be nothing (Andrea must have bitten the inside of her cheek). However, for four stressful hours, we dealt with the possibility that the cancer wasn't confined to Andrea's breast.
Don't panic.
Being the primary support means you need to be rational and calm. New language, information and ideas need to considered as part of the whole and you need to remain coherent when throwing in the towel seems the logical thing to do. It's completely okay to be emotional so long as you don't let your emotions interfere with being an advocate for your partner, communicating with your medical team and making sound decisions.
I'll talk more about emotions as I share more of my supporter experience.

Late yesterday, after wheeling back and forth with barrows full of split wood from the chopping stump to the new stack - a routine that gets pretty monospective - I finally noticed that all along I'd been being careful about the cluster of ivory and gold daffodils beside the big rock in the shadow of the old oak. All day I'd been edging carefully between them and the wheelbarrow without really thinking about it, and now that I'd stopped my routine I looked at them with eyes I could use for new things and saw that the blossoms actually glowed in the slanting light from the clouded setting sun.
There were a couple dozen flowers on the cluster, but the stalks of half of them had been crimped and toppled by the strong winds. And though those blossoms themselves were down in the dirt, they glowed just as though they still stood unbowed. I could not but be moved by that kind of character, so I rescued them rather than have the wind keep rubbing them in the dirt until they were rags. I cut the bent stalks just above the crimps so that they could stand, then brought them inside to put in a vase in the kitchen where they could shine in the window. As if in thanks, they filled the room with that fragrance that every spring takes me somewhere I know so well and love so strongly, yet have never visited but by the grace of flowers.

A beautifully told story Bob, I have a number of those well known well love yet found nowhere on the map, places too, sometimes transported there by an image... or a group of words...

Yeah, this happens to me every year... it's great...

Daffodils in Japan? For some strange reason I am surprised. I think of Japanese flowers as more exotic than that. Daffodils are my favorite flower, probably because they are so hardy and come back every year. i grew up in Athens Georgia during the depression and daffodils were about the only flower we had in our yard in the spring and they were volunteers.

Key Challenges
Survival of government uncertain
With the rifts in the governing coalition increasing, the survival of the present coalition government is likely to become a major political challenge. If the Borissov government does not make it through 2019, it would be the fourth government in a row to fail to complete the full four-year term. Political instability is typical of Bulgaria's party system, which is characterized by the combination of two relatively large centrist parties and a number of smaller ones, some of whom are purely clientelistic, while others are rather radical or extremist.
Instability brings wide-ranging challenges
The looming political instability represents a major challenge to the country, since instability inevitably affects both the government's ability to adopt a long-term perspective and the economy's ability to sustain economic growth. The negative effects of the fluidity of the party system and the frequent changes in government have been partially mitigated by the fact that the country has had the same prime minister and the same party leading the ruling coalition for most of the last decade. The extensive governance experience of the prime minister and main government party may lead to improvements in the capacity of the government to develop strategies, and coordinate and assess policies.
New sources of economic growth needed
Economically, the opportunities for Bulgaria to generate rapid economic growth through heightened capital inflows from abroad and activation of inactive or unemployed labor have come to an end. High-skilled labor has become particularly scarce, while capital inflows have slowed significantly. Realizing the potential of key economic drivers (e.g., increased skills levels, innovation capacity, productivity and policy effectiveness) remains a serious challenge.
Judicial reform a crucial building-block
Judicial reform is key to Bulgaria's ability to meet these challenges, particularly reform of the prosecution service. Presently, there are illicit mechanisms within an unaccountable judiciary that allow individuals to acquire privilege, and political and economic influence. These mechanisms contribute to the capture of the prosecution service by special interests with a political agenda. Consequently, legitimate businesses and entrepreneurs do not compete on a level playing field and some choose to scale down their investment plans. Slight improvements with respect to the selection, advancement and activities of judges are counterbalanced by a deterioration in the accountability and transparency of the prosecution service.
Gaps in education access must be closed
A second important reform area is education. The exclusion of various, especially minority, groups from adequate education and labor-market participation, and low basic literacy rates need to be addressed. The promotion of a skilled and flexible labor force remains a major challenge. The Ministry of Education has presented reform proposals that point in a desirable direction, but they need to be implemented and supplemented by further reforms. Initial results (e.g., PISA, PIRLS and TIMSS scores) indicate a possibility for these reforms to eventually lead to improvements.
Demographic pressures rising
A third challenging area is the health care and pension systems. Negative demographic trends impose a substantial financial and political challenge on both social systems, making them financially unsustainable, easy victims of political opportunism and a heavy burden on the economy. These weaknesses need to be addressed to improve financial and social sustainability.
Fourth, despite visible improvements over the last decade, infrastructure must continue to be enhanced, especially at the regional level.
Pro-reform majorities more difficult to build
Politically, Bulgaria's most significant challenge is the fragmentation of the political party system observed over the last two parliaments. As the resurgence of nationalist and xenophobic parties has strengthened the political representation of social groups opposed to much needed reform, this makes the formation of government majorities willing and able to address Bulgaria's key challenges more difficult and less likely.
Party Polarization
Ideology not a barrier to coalition-building
The extent to which Bulgarian parties are polarized along principles of ideology and policy rather than personality and identity is unclear. While rhetorically taking opposing views on many issues, political parties seem to be able to achieve agreement on policy whenever in power. A prime example was the 2013 – 2014 government, which was simultaneously supported by an extreme nationalist and xenophobic party, and by its rhetorical irreconcilable opponent, the Turkish minority party. After the 2017 parliamentary elections, Prime Minister Borissov managed to forge a coalition with the United Patriots, an alliance of three extreme nationalist and xenophobic parties, despite conflicting election campaign pledges.

Call for Bids: TEI Members Meeting and Conference, 2013
Deadline: September 15, 2012
The annual TEI Members' Meeting and Conference takes place every year in late October or early November. We are now seeking bids to host this event in 2013.
The meeting this year (2012) will take place on November 6-8 at Texas A&M University (US): http://idhmc.tamu.edu/teiconference. Previous meetings have included the following:
- University of Würzburg, 10-16 October, 2011 Hosted by the University of Würzburg.
- College Park, Maryland, USA, October 31-November 3, 2008. Hosted by the University of Maryland, College Park.
- Victoria, Canada, October 27-28, 2006. Hosted by the University of Victoria.
- Sophia, Bulgaria, October 28-29, 2005. Hosted by the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.
- Baltimore, USA, October 22-23, 2004. Hosted by Johns Hopkins University.
- Nancy, France, November 7-8 2003. Hosted by ATILF.
- Chicago, USA, October 11-12 2002. Hosted by the Newberry Library and Northwestern University.
- Pisa, Italy, November 16-17 2001. Hosted by the University of Pisa.
The site of the meeting has typically alternated between Europe and North America, but this is not a fixed rule and exceptions have occurred. We also welcome proposals from other parts of the world, and in particular from areas where new TEI communities are arising. Preference is given to bids from institutions that are easily accessible to the bulk of our membership.
The meeting format has expanded in recent years to include a conference-style component. Typically this means a three day event with possibilities for pre-and/or post-conference workshops. The host also arranges space for a meeting of the Consortium Board after the conference and members' meeting.
At this year's meeting, we will be running eight sessions of refereed papers, two keynote presentations, and a number of posters. The meeting will also host the Consortium's business meeting and full day workshops for Special Interest Groups. The Consortium Board meets on the Sunday following the meeting. In previous years we have also had pre-conference workshops. Attendance for the last two years has been between 100 and 150. Bids should plan on a similar general format and size, though hosts are free to innovate in consultation with the Consortium.
The TEI Consortium provides some funding to cover the costs of its meeting. Additional costs are usually covered by the host and efforts to locate external sponsorships. Such additional costs commonly include room rental, refreshments, one or more receptions, conference bag or mug, and costs associated with Plenary Speakers. The total budget of the meeting varies from year to year depending on local conditions.
Bids should be sent to Elena Pierazzo (firstname.lastname@example.com) by September 15, 2012, and should include the following information:
- The name of the institution(s) making the bid
- The name, address, email, and telephone number of the contact person
- A brief description of the facilities available for the event (rooms, equipment, technical support, food)
- An indication of what financial support, if any, the hosting institution is prepared to give (for instance, sponsoring one or more receptions or pre-meeting workshops; payment of travel expenses for one or more plenary speakers; etc.)
- Any other details that may be useful in assessing the bid (e.g. the presence of a conference on a related topic at the institution around the time of the meeting; the launch of a new TEI-related initiative at the institution, etc.).
Institutions considering a bid are encouraged to contact the Consortium
to discuss their ideas. The consortium chair is Elena Pierazzo;
other members of this year's meeting program committee are
Welzenbach, Martin Mueller, James Cummings, Arianna Ciula,
Marjorie Burghart, and Laura Mandell.
All bids will be reviewed by the TEI board, which makes the final
Thank you very much!

Safe-ty Helmet is a boss Cog attack used by the Chief Financial Officer. It does not inflict any damage directly onto Toons. Instead, the CFO will wear a safe on his head which would prevent him from being attacked by goons.
If a Toon throws a safe at the CFO whilst he is not stunned, he will wear the helmet which can only be removed by throwing another safe at his head. Also, if he isn't attacked within a certain period of time, he will automatically wear a safe on his head.
- The name of this attack was conceived by Mata Hairy.
- A graphical glitch may occur which gives the CFO an invisible safe-ty helmet. It can be identified if the CFO has another pair of eyes, and the glitched safe is removed by throwing a safe at his head.
- It is possible to get the CFO to wear the safe-ty helmet even after he is defeated.
- When a Toon puts a safe on the CFO while he isn't stunned too many times, it can be considered greening.

Dog names
Many dog names also are used for humans.
That shouldn't come as a surprise since most pet parents consider their dogs family members.
Some owners name their dogs based on their appearance, for example, Blacky, Midnight or Spot. And a few dog owners opt for irony — one of my former neighbors had a miniature gray poodle named Bear.
It was also fairly common for owners to bestow titles upon their canine companions such as Lady, Kaiser, Caesar, Duchess, Duke, Princess, Prince, Queenie, and of course the ultimate, King.
Some get so attached to a name they use it again and again and add a numeral for each dog. Every neighborhood has a dog or two with a numeral, for example, Prince, the Third, or Spot, the Sixth.
When pondering the right name for their dogs, some people also wonder how some dog breeds got their names.
The people at helpucover.com researched some of the interesting stories behind popular dog breed names.
The beagle got its name due to its tendency to howl or bay during a hunt. The corgi's name translates from Welsh to "dwarf dog" due to their petite size.

So yesterday was our 8th wedding anniversary. I know what you are thinking 'oh how lovely, I wonder what Nadia and Sy bought each other, something bronze or made of salt I bet!' Well actually we didn't buy each other anything, why, because we both forgot about it! Well I didn't actually forget, I knew it was on the 26th November and I knew we are in November but I didn't realise it was 26th November until I was choosing a delivery slot for my Tesco order and looked at the date. I turned to Sy who was sat working next to me and said "Oh, Happy Anniversary!" This was at 9pm!
Sy was gutted, he thought it was bad form that we both forgot our anniversary but I didn't. I asked Sy why he was gutted and his reply was exactly what I thought it would be. 'You see all these couples on social media in quaint county cottages or spas or fancy restaurants spending quality time together with a glass of prosecco in their hands toasting another year of marriage'. I get it, before we got married that is how I envisioned all of our anniversaries too, a romantic night away without children and quality time together. Don't get me wrong, if Sy had remembered our anniversary and had planned something like this, as long as Rayne and Rose were happy to sleep at Nanny's or Uncle's house, I would be there without hesitation. However, I am not totally devastated and ready to file for a divorce or give Sy the silent treatment because he didn't remember nor do I feel guilty for not remembering, does it mean I love him less than I should? NO, it doesn't!
Last night when I said "Oh Happy Anniversary" to Sy, Rayne was in ear shot and was excited that it was our anniversary. I told her that 8 years ago at this precise time we were probably on the dance floor dancing at our wedding and I was probably dreaming about what our first born child would look like. To be honest, without meaning to sound soppy or pretentious, I have everything I want and I do not need a remembered anniversary to know how much my husband loves me. Also, if I feel like I need a spa day or a night away to spend quality time together to connect without children present, why do I have to wait until my anniversary?
So you will not find any photos of Sy and I on my social media this week celebrating our anniversary as we celebrated with a big family pile on, on our big family bed at 9.30pm last night!
