Horror of the SciFi Kind – Nomad by Matthew Mather @phuturenews

Nomad by Matthew Mather is Book I of The New Earth Series.

This is one of those books that left me with tons of questions and what ifs.

Nomad (Nomad, #1)

Amazon US  /  Amazon UK  /  Amazon CA  /  Goodreads

Action packed, thought-provoking, could this really happen novel that held my attention as the clocked ticked down.

“At most, we have a year, perhaps only months, until the anomaly reaches us.”

It’s the end of the world and I can’t imagine the fear and panic. All kinds of questions came to mind. Would I want to know, seeing as how there is nothing I could do? Would I want to be one of the last ones standing? How would I spend the last moments of my life? Who would I spend them with?

I quickly became involved with the characters, especially Jess. I love a strong, independent, kickass female, and she surely fits the bill. She is into extreme sports, served in Afghanistan, and left a leg there because of an IED. She may be a bit more than self-confident, maybe a bit reckless, but she does not have a death wish.There is nothing that will stop her from doing the right thing.

My first thought would be to let bygones be bygones, but would others think that? What about other countries? Would they want to take the last shot before the Earth ceases to exist?

A free for all, no holds barred human slaughter.

Matthew Mather did his research for Nomad. I don’t understand all the technical jargon, but he broke it down into easy to understand language. Well enough for me to me to be totally engrossed in the story, instead of thinking of it as a school subject.

The end of the world is coming and I felt it on every page, especially after watching the Solar Eclipse on 8.21.17. The danger and suspense just kept increasing, and it wasn’t just because of Nomad.

There is no ending. There are four books in the series, and I WANT THEM!

Animated Animals. Pictures, Images and Photos 4 Stars

Something massive is coming…

And it’s heading for Earth.

That’s what Dr. Ben Rollins, head of Harvard’s exoplanet research team, is told by NASA after being dragged out of bed in the middle of the night. His first instinct is to call his daughter, Jessica, who’s vacationing in Italy with his wife. “Something’s coming,” he tells them. “A hundred times the mass of the sun. We can’t see it, don’t know what it is yet, but they’re calling it Nomad–and in just months, the Earth may be destroyed.”

But what is it? And how did they miss detecting it until now? In a frantic race against time, Dr. Rollins must unravel Nomad’s secrets. A mysterious clue surfaces in his old research papers from the end of the Cold War, more than thirty years earlier…

The world erupts into chaos as the end approaches–and Ben discovers that his wife and daughter are trapped in Europe. The key to humanity’s survival rests in the final answers Dr. Rollins pieces together, in the midst of his desperate scramble across continents to find his family before Nomad swallows the planet.

A story of family and redemption set amid a brand new category of cataclysm–all the more plausible and terrifying as the science behind it is vetted by a team of world-class astrophysicists from CERN, SETI, the Keck Observatory and more. It even has its own simulation video, included at the end of the book.

Matthew MatherMatthew is the million-copy bestselling author of CyberStorm and Darknet, and the hit series Nomad and Atopia Chronicles. He started out his career working at the McGill Center for Intelligent Machines, going on to become one of the world’s leading members of the cybersecurity community. In between he’s worked in a variety of start-ups,everything from computational nanotechnology to electronic health records to weather prediction systems. He spends his time between Montreal and Charlotte, NC.

Valentine's Week Ideas

Happy Valentine's Day {Week}!  This is going to be a big week!

It is my last full week with my students before I stop to start administering  the ACCESS test (the test for all ELL students to test their language proficiency in reading, writing, listening and speaking).  It will take me about 5 weeks to test all of my students.  So, I'm going to make this last week count!

We are going to be using this new leveled reading passages and vocabulary activities pack.

Included in this pack are nine different passages of the same story ranging from F & P levels A-L (or Lexile Levels BR-500L), Reader Response Sheets, 3 different vocabulary card options (I will use the picture and word cards for my ELL students), and Vocabulary Games!  There are also black and white printing options.

Right now, my students' reading levels vary from C-L so this will work for all of my students.  Yay for one pack for all of my students!  I'm going to continue to make these types of packs for my students and would love for you to check them out, too.

I'm going to run a little giveaway for this item.  Can you pin it for me?   I'll pick 5 winners on Tuesday night!  If you can't wait and would like to purchase it, it's marked 1/2 off at only $2 until the giveaway ends.

And, as a thank you for pinning, I have some Valentine's Day Freebies for you!

In this FREEBIE download, you can find a class list sheet, homework passes and Valentine's Day cards for adding the heart-shaped crayons.  Just click on the picture above to go and download them!
Check out the post where I made those two years ago {here}.

Thanks, in advance, for pinning!

***Update: Winners have been notified!  Thanks for playing along!***

  1. Pinned! This resource would be so beneficial for my students.

  2. Good luck with your ACCESS testing! Our ELs started last week with it and our EL teachers have managed to get half way through testing all of our kiddos in one week. We are hoping to be done with it all by the end of next week... a 3 week improvement from last year. I hope that your last week with them all before this is a fun one- it looks like it will be! :)
    Tales of a Tenacious Teacher

  3. This looks awesome! This will help us as we get ready for testing here too. Thanks for all of your hard work!

    Would love to have this resource! Thank you for the opportunity.

The Little Engine...

I feel like I have really neglected a good ol' IUI success story!  For those unfamiliar with what an IUI is... it is intrauterine insemination.  This means they are going to take your husband/partner/donors sperm and insert the swimmers inside the uterus with a catheter, sounds totally fun, right?!

One of my favorite IUI-ers is now long graduated.  She was as sweet as could be.  I remember starting her first cycle, the doctor prescribed her Clomid and she didn't have the best response.  She had one follicle going into her first IUI.  Unfortunately, two weeks later she was hit with a negative beta!

Her period came and she decided she just wanted to go straight into her second IUI.  Since she didn't get the best result from Clomid the doctor switched her to Letrozole!  She also wasn't in love with the side effects she experienced from Clomid.  Remember this girl was sweet, like unrealistically sweet.  She was concerned because she was being "short" with her husband on Clomid... If she only knew some of the rage stories that some women can experience, she would have realized she was a true angel!!   She started up the Letrozole and the cycle went alright. She did feel better on Letrozole, but the response wasn't anything to write home about.   IUI time came again, and again NADA!

Third times the charm, right??  At least thats what I told her.  At this point I think she was thinking, "Bitch, I'm tired of seeing your face."  ((Kidding, she totally loved me)) :)  This time we went with the combo platter... pills and injectables!  She had her best response yet!  We were all feeling extremely hopeful.  IUI day came around.  WTF?! Negative again!

I thought she was going to throw in the towel, could of sworn we were going to lose her.  She wasn't ready for IVF, but being the Little Engine that Could she went into her 4th IUI cycle.

Remember y'all, IUI isn't as high of a success rate as IVF, in fact not even close.  It may be a lot cheaper, but sometimes it takes persistence to get there!

I think by this cycle she was kind of over the blood work, the ultrasounds, my amazing jokes.....   I was pretty nervous on her **4th** beta day!  Luckily, this time I got to call her with wonderful news!!!

This girl had a heart of GOLD.  No matter how many days in a row we made her come in, no mater how many times she got her blood drawn, and the bajillion ultrasounds she went through she always came in with a positive attitude and a huge smile on her face.  I think she was really embracing the experience, which isn't always easy to do.   Not all IUI's take 4 cycles, some lucky ladies get it on the first or second try, while others choose to switch to IVF!  Don't compare your journey to anyone else because everyone has a unique experience through infertility, hopefully all reaching the end goal of a positive beta day!

Holiday Hell

The holidays can be hard on those that don't have the most amazing relationships with their family members (raises hand).

It's crazy what an outpouring I've gotten from other people who have issues with their moms. So I'm going to share more of my story, although it's hard, it seems to be helpful to others.

My parents divorced when I was 5 or 6.  The memories I have from those years when they were married were terrible.  I was for sure in an extremely toxic environment.

My mom worked at a bank, at the time, in a small town in Texas called Crosby, we legit only had a Walmart and a Sonic (add in “one stoplight” to make me sound like a real hick).  She was introduced to someone’s brother while working and ended up getting engaged and uprooting my older brother and I to Oklahoma.  I didn't know this guy, pretty sure my mom didn't have us spend much time with him, yet to Oklahoma we went with a stranger.

 The first few years were okay, but somehow my mother once again managed to get us in another bind.  Moving frequently due to her inability to be financially responsible was a strain on everyone.  She ended up getting another divorce. After divorce number two is when my life really started to spiral.  The things that I experienced, no child should ever have to.

 I was probably around 13 at the time, she went through a phase where she would leave me by myself, I would never know where she was or when she was coming back.  When she wanted to be gone more often is when things got weird..she started leaving me her car (yes, at the young age of 13/14).  At the time my brother was living with my Mom's second husband (probably to avoid my mom’s crazy) so it was just me, doing whatever the heck I wanted, because I had zero parental supervision.

Fast forward maybe a year or two and my mom meets yet another guy (probably from the internet, I still have zero idea).  She comes home one day and tells me that I’m moving again.  Do what?!?!  I had never met this man either, history keeps repeating itself.  I expressed my concern to my mom.  She didn't care, she never cared.

We packed up our tiny apartment and I moved into another man's home.  He was terrible.  I don't think terrible even describes this trash bag well enough.  He was a drunk and a smoker (like 12 packs a day INSIDE his house, okay I don't really know how many cigarettes, but this shit was constant), he was rude, he was loud, he was obnoxious, he was hateful, he was everything you wouldn’t want your child to be around.  Yet here I was.

  I didn't live there long.  After a tremendous amount of verbal abuse from my mom's Prince Charming of a THIRD husband (disgusting, not the third husband part because hell, maybe I’ll be there one day, but just his grossness in general) and the borderline personality peaks and valleys of my mother, they kicked me out. I'm sure she would tell you a totally different story because that's what it’s like living with a Borderline individual.  My mom had me painted in her head as a horrible, rebellious, disrespectful teenager which was the furthest thing from the truth.  I was a hard worker, made good grades, and was respectful of adults. Was I sassy?  Of course, I am who I am.

I was 16 working at an Italian restaurant in Tulsa, having to support myself to make it through my last little bit of high school.  I didn't tell very many people this happened.  Only a handful of friends knew I was living on my own.

 When other kids my age were going home to a happy family who cared for them, I went home to my apartment, and wondered if I was going to have enough money to keep going.  My worries as a teenager were much different than my peers.  I didn't let anyone on to my problems though.  I've always been prideful.  I knew I could make it, and I did.  I graduated high school, applied to college, and ended up graduating in 3 years with my first bachelor’s degree (thank you chip on my shoulder for making me like a female version of Eminem). “Success is my only motherfucking option, failures not.” I always thought I was a little hood.

My relationship with my mom after I graduated college still wasn't great, but I was learning how to navigate her (finally, over 20 years later).  This woman seriously never liked me.  People tell me, "there is no way your mom didn't like you, parents aren’t like that."  I'm here to tell you there are parents like that.   Some days when I see girls on social media shopping with their mom or going home for the holidays, I get little pings of hurt in my heart.  I haven't talked to my mother since Thanksgiving of 2015, I honestly can't tell you why she won't talk to me, but she doesn't.  I think it's healthier for me to not have a relationship with her though.  I can say I don't care for her, I don't miss her, I honestly don't even know her.

Now at 33 looking back, I have no idea how I made it to where I am now, but I'm proud as hell of myself.  I always made the right decisions for me (probably because I had to, to survive).  I kept my virginity until I was way old and out of college, I never did drugs, I did drink (but what college kid didn't).  I chose to make the right life decisions for me because I had such a fantastic example of how not to be (my mother).

Working in infertility and seeing how much these couples want children was sometimes hard on me, coming from a mother who never wanted me, but it also inspired me to help these women get a gift that I knew they would actually cherish.

So when you look at the seemingly happy pictures of me on social media, know that my heart is a little bit harder than others, my childhood was not picture perfect, my teenager years were challenging, but I persevered.

If the holidays are hard on you, I understand.  If you've lived more than you should have at a young age, I understand that too. My life hasn’t always been sugar plums and candy canes, but if it wasn’t for my experiences, I wouldn’t be who I am today.  In a way, I’m grateful for everything that has challenged me, even if at the time I thought it was going to be what broke me.

Focal Point

October 3-30, 2014

I came from a photography background. I started using my photography to create collages, which evolved into mosaics. Like most artist I find inspiration in every day sites, objects and feelings. I like my work to remind me of people and places I have seen, it should make me smile.  I love the permanence of mosaic and in turn, the permanence of the memories I create with it.

I received my BFA in 1992 at University of Texas, Arlington. My professional mosaic art career began in 2000 when I became co-owner of Tesserae Mosaic Studio. We build and install all sizes of commercial, public art, and residential mosaics. I am the Vice President of the Society of American Mosaic Artists. —Julie Dilling

Valve had unveiled the Dota 2 Reborn beta earlier today; showing off a new interface, engine and UI amongst other things. Next week, more detail will be given for Custom Games before finally releasing the beta for the public.

Firstly, the home screen has been given a complete overhaul that replaces the outdated menu for a very gorgeous, smooth and dynamic interface. The new dashboard will allow the user to toggle between the home screen, the ‘Heroes’, ‘Watch’, ‘Learn’ and ‘Custom Games’ tabs.

Home Screen

The home (and default upon starting Dota 2) screen will feature news, friend feeds, sales, user Dota 2 stats and other kinds of specially featured content such as custom games. Across each tab, the party will always be viewable, you will also be able to access chat to the party and start looking for a game of Dota any time you’d like no matter what tab you’re exploring or reading through.

Changing up matchmaking, players can now search around for games that people set up lobbies for. The lobbies can be set to public or private by the lobby leader. Users can also look into lobbies to see if their friends are playing in it or if they are LAN. Hopefully though, these games will not be able to use the prediction charms or the like that can be abused; but only time will tell.

To make it easier for friends to gather together, Dota 2 Reborn has revamped the invite system to be able to more easily invite friends, party chat while in the dashboard while waiting up for a match as well as during the loading screen without a hitch, enabling parties to be able to join together instead of having to disband and manually invite everyone again and finally allowing a notifier to allow friends to know if you’re available for a game or not.

Speaking of friends; if you’re into comparing yourself to your friends, or just want to have more information on how a person plays in general, you can look at a person’s stats by hovering over a player’s avatar. Revealing a miniprofile, you’ll get to see their favorite hero, treasured item, trophy, badges, wins and experience. The friend feed on the home page also allows you to see how well your friends go in matches such as most kills, game changing ultimates, death defying saves and the like. You’ll also get the chance to look into how well a person does with certain heroes according to the individual MMR of heroes. Finally, and I think it’s one of the most interesting additions, is a graph showing the playstyle of the person; showing an axis for fighting, farming, supporting, versatility and pushing, depending on the way they play in matches with their hero.

Chat has been improved vastly. The chat has expanded to being able to talk to people who are not playing Dota; a much simpler way than having to go through the old shift+tab interface. You can also place multiple chat rooms to put messages on the one chat as well as in their respective rooms for a quick access to messages sent. Further, chat rooms have been expanded to allow 5000 people at once to allow bigger communities to exist in game.

Heroes Tab

Reworked completely, the hero tab will allow users to browse through characters based on roles, most played, least played, etc. You can browse each hero and check out available sets and items that can be changed on the hero as well as being able to purchase them straight from the store. One of the more unique features now is a ‘Demo Hero’ button that allows you to test out the hero’s skills and last hitting speeds with creeps. The demo also allows the user to try out the cosmetic set to see what it looks like in game. A very interesting move and I think it’s fantastic that Valve’s allowing this feature.

Watch Tab

To further emphasize spectating  matches both amateur and professional; the watch tab had a make over to make it much more easier to watch games. You now have screens when you browse through matches showing who is playing what hero, and a map showing hero movement at the time. You can then instantly hop in and see in real time what is going on in game. You can check out the match in 4 ways: Inline stream, third party, steam and In-game.

Steam is also combining with DotaTV to provide streams that are 1080p at 60 fps and on top of that, making sure to provide stats and graphs detailing the players, the heroes they use and other useful and interesting statistics. The player still exists for when you’re watching a recorded match. Further, featured tournaments will be shown in explicit detail including the brackets, upcoming games, casters and all that jazz.

You’ll also have the ability bookmark matches for later watching as well as sharing the replays with friends as well. There’s also an option to put in descriptions so when you share, your friends will get an idea on what happens in the match; enabling people to discuss and enjoy watching and sharing.

Learn Tab

To push out the last tab before we get a good look at Custom Games next week, the Learn Tab adds on to the old tutorial that was slowly being implemented by Valve. The “existing tutorials were good for teaching Dota’s mechanics, they weren’t great at helping new players understand why Dota is awesome”, and for this reason, the tab now also includes alongside the tutorial with Dragon Knight to understand simple mechanics. These are generally for people who have no idea about the genre. The other option is the guided bot matches which allows new people and an experienced friend to participate in a full game of Dota but with the new player given educational detail without being bland and overwhelming.

Overall, Dota 2 Reborn is an extremely polished UI with so many new features from the old outdated hub. There’s a lot to be covered and seen regarding what to expect. But I think the best way to deal with this is to actually try it first hand. I can’t wait for the open beta to be released, and I can’t wait to just mess around and enjoy spectating matches while waiting for my match making to kick in.

Carrot fly

Time to act:

Mar, Apr, May

Creamy-yellow larvae hatch from the white eggs of the carrot fly, Psila rosae, and tunnel into the roots of carrots and other related plants, such as parsnips and celery. The damage creates brown scarring on the exterior of the taproots. Damaged roots are then susceptible to secondary rots. Sometimes the foliage turns yellow and plants might even die.

Tunnelling maggots feast on the carrot flesh, causing the outsides to be marked with brown rings. This is often followed by rotting.

Find it on

carrots, celery, parsley, parsnips

Sow carrots after late-spring to avoid the first generation of carrot fly larvae. Harvest the roots by late-August, before the second generation of larvae emerges.

Carrot fly can detect the scent of carrots from a mile away; sow the seed thinly, as the process of thinning the seedlings releases the carrot's scent. Plant strong-smelling crops, such as garlic, onions, shallots and leeks adjacent to the carrots.

Follow a strict crop rotation plan, avoiding growing carrots on the same site in consecutive years, and place horticultural fleece over the seedlings, which will provide a physical barrier against the pest.

Some carrot varieties - 'Resistafly', 'Sytan' and 'Fly Away' - are less prone to attack.

Re-imagining Rustavi

Photo: Sophie Tchitchinadze/UNDP
Photo: Daro Sulakauri/UNDP

A friend posted a question on Facebook once asking which of the Georgian cities was most “Soviet-looking”. A lot of respondents named Rustavi, a little place some 25 km away from Tbilisi.

Indeed, Rustavi, built in 1940s around the country’s largest metallurgical plant as an industrial face of Soviet Georgia, has an unmistakable air of a Soviet city in decline, with its monumental city centre and desperate rows of grey ugly blocks. The metallurgical plant lost its function and most of workforce in 1990s, and so did Rustavi, a sad reminder of a winning working class and badly planned industrialization. A little over 120 thousand residents, with most of those working in Tbilisi, is the reality the city is facing.

That is exactly what I thought of Rustavi only a month ago, never questioning my own prejudice, before I actually visited the city with the team of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Imagine my surprise when, instead of grey boredom, I saw a lovely town with the renewed streets, wonderful monuments, crowded green park and delicious café. The amazing Rustavians, who love their place and try hard to make it “cool”, was yet another discovery which has completely changed my perspective. Rustavi can never be boring while its citizens are excited by living here.

Rustavi in Colour

“Rustavi is a friendly little place where everyone knows each other. Yes, it is a bit on a grey side but we are trying to make it more colourful,”

says Mary Gogishvili, a Rustavi activist of the project Futuremakers, rolled out in Georgia, Armenia and Egypt to prototype innovative governance based on collaboration between the youth and public authorities. In Georgia, Futuremakers is supported by UNDP, UN Volunteers (UNV), Edgeryders, the innovation ServiceLab of the Public Service Development Agency (PSDA) of Georgia and the Rustavi City Hall.

Mary is among over 30 young people who already joined the Futuremakers initiative seeking their say over the future of Rustavi. Making the city more colourful is just one of the ideas these motivated youngsters presented to the Mayor. Cool graffiti in the city park and a creative Zebra crossing on one of the main streets prove that anything is possible once you find the right people.

And this is just the beginning!

As Sopo Malashanidze, civic activist, says:

“There is an untapped potential in Rustavi and this is really good.”

Unleashing this potential and re-imaging Rustavi into a lively, active and fast developing city is the new ambitious goal ahead.

Rustavi has already tied hands with UNDP and ServiceLab on innovative e-governance projects. And in September 2017, the story of a colourful city will continue with the Global Goals Festival, which will kick off a national Sustainable Development Goals campaign in Georgia.

Mary Gogladze says:

“If we bright up the walls, it will bright up people’s faces too.”

Rephrasing that, now I know that once you re-imagine how a city looks, you can re-imagine its future.

Sprint Launches Treo 700wx

Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Cell Phones, Handhelds

Sprint Treo 700wx

Sprint has finally unleashed the Treo 700wx today, which we have all but been waiting for over the past few weeks. The Treo 700wx sports EV-DO/1xRTT, 128MB NVRAM, 240x240 touchscreen, XScale 312MHz processor, a full QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth support, and the standard 1.3 megapixel camera. It runs Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC edition, and is, you know, a Treo. The 700wx sports double the RAM of the Treo 700w on Verizon, but everything else is pretty much in line. Of course, Sprint has had the Treo 700p available for a while now - but if you just gotta have that Pocket PC goodness, now is your chance if you are on Sprint.

RAM vs ROM vs Cache Memory

Random Access Memory abbriviation RAM work as a main memory of a computer where the operating system, application programs and data in current use are kept so they can be quickly reached by the device's processor.

The purpose of RAM is to provide quick read and write access to a storage device. Your computer uses RAM to load data because it's much quicker than running that same data directly off of a hard drive. Data remains in RAM as long as the computer is running. When the computer is turned off, RAM loses its data. When the computer is turned on again, the OS and other relevant files are once again loaded into RAM from secondary storage.

There are two types of RAM differ in the technology they use to hold data, with Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) being the more common type. In terms of speed, Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) is faster.

Read-Only Memory or ROM is a storage medium that is used with computers and other electronic devices. As the name indicates, data has been prerecorded on the memory. Once data has been written onto a ROM chip, it cannot be removed and can only be read.

Unlike RAM, ROM retains its contents even when the computer is turned off. ROM is referred to as being nonvolatile, whereas RAM is volatile. Most personal computers contain a small amount of ROM that stores critical programs such as the program that boots the computer.

A variation of a ROM is a Programmable Read-Only Memory (PROM). PROMs are manufactured as blank chips on which data can be written with a special device called a PROM programmer.

The Cache Memory is the memory which is very nearest to the CPU that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM.

A computer can have several different levels of cache memory. The level numbers refers to distance from CPU where Level 1 is the closest. All levels of cache memory are faster than RAM. The cache closest to CPU is always faster but generally costs more and stores less data then other level of cache.

The cache memory works according to various algorithms, which decide what information it has to store. These algorithms work out the probability to decide which data would be most frequently needed. This probability is worked out on the basis of past observations.

Calves of steel

I have a fear of lifts. Not of elevators per sé, of course, but of the kind that tends to get stuck. The lifts in the building where my lab is situated are very scary. A couple of years ago, some springbokkies and chickens in the walk-in freezer upstairs at Animal Science defrosted over the Easter weekend. The resulting fetid soup leaked out of the freezer, across the hallway, and down the service elevator shaft, contaminating each floor on the way down. Apparently, the bacteria-basted chickens had swollen to the size of turkeys by the time somebody noticed something was awry. The mess has since long been cleaned up by a crew in space suits with sanitizing spray that smelled oddly pink, and yet the memory of the stench still prevents me from using the service elevator in the east wing.

The only other lifts in the building are situated in the west wing, and are very old. I suspect that they might well be the first ones Otis ever installed in South Africa. They must have worked superbly in the 1970's, but have become... erm, interesting with age. Often, when you're bent over your centrifuge tubes at your bench, faint cries of help from someone trapped in the lift will break your concentration. Sometimes the LED's indicate that you are on floor 3 when you are on floor 6, sometimes that you are on floor 15. The building has 11 floors. Sometimes the lift doesn't respond to any buttons you press. Sometimes the elevator doors open, and there is no lift. That's right: just a gaping black chasm to welcome you to sudden death, with cables and ratchets moving in the dark. Or the doors will open and the lift won't be level with the floor and you have to step down into it, like a little mobile crawlspace. I once called the lift to go down to ground level: when the doors opened it was there all right, but it just kept moving up, past my floor. Suddenly the doors slammed shut with enough force to sever any limb that would have been in their path. That's dodgy. So much for a safety precaution. So now I climb the eight flights of stairs to my floor several times a day. Not because I believe it to be a great workout. Because I have claustrophobia.

Adam said...

Genade! Ek het nie besef daar is lifts op kampus erger as die GW s'n nie... Dis dodgy!

arcadia said...

ja, ek ken ook net die dodgy gw s'n...daar het nou die dag mense na twee vloere uit die hysbak geklim omdat hul die angs nie meer kon hanteer nie.

maar ons is bly jy is veilig, eoh :-)

en ons is moerse bly jy blog weer.

mike said...

I am glad that I never have to go up further than two floors in any building at Rhodes, because I'm pretty sure our lifts are dreadful too.

Your one sounds just... comical, though! I am terrified of getting stuck in a lift. I'd never use it!

~d said...

Hmm. Claustrophobia. I (thank god!) do not have that.

Twanji Kalula said...

Sounds dangerous!
Stuck in a tiny lift, infested with bacteria - Yuk.
I am probably so delayed, but I just saw that they have made a movie of the 'Night Listener' by Armistead Maupin last year, starring Robin Williams and Toni Collette. Have you seen it and if so, how was it?

The Electric Orchid Hunter said...

As far as I know, The Night Listener is only released on 6 April. I will most definitely be checking it out. Interesting casting, don't you think?

Twanji Kalula said...

Most definitely, Robin Williams was not who I pictured when I read it... I know Toni Collette will be great, but then again after 'Little Miss Sunshine' I don't think she could ever do wrong in my eyes.

As long as it's not too Hollywood, it should be good.

Wendy said...

Archaeology lifts are also dodgy. Take the stairs, you will live longer.

Guest sitting of the Georgian government is being held in Zugdidi

2009-05-20 16:55

The government of Georgia holds another its sitting in Zugdidi; meetings of latest weeks were conducted in Gori and Tsinandeli.

The usual place for weekly sittings of the government is the building of the State Chancellery in Tbilisi, government members were not seen in the building, since opposition started picketing it - Interfax.

The work of the Georgian government is also practically paralyzed: the building is surrounded with mock prison cells. Mikheil Saakashvili, the President, avoids staying in his Tbilisi residence, picketed by opposition. Opposition leaders claim that there has been neither government nor Parliament in Georgia for the second month, and the president is "hiding from the people".

Representatives of the authorities, in their turn, repeatedly stated that they want no extra confrontation with the radical opposition, and therefore meetings of the parliament and government are held in Georgian regions.

Opposition gathered to picket Tbilisi Mayor’s office

2009-05-28 14:33

Georgian opposition started picketing Tbilisi Mayor's office.

"It is a warning action, which will last for a few hours, but if the authorities again don't react on our actions, the Mayor's office's picket will resume", said Eka Beselia, one of the Movement for United Georgia leaders, to the protesters - RIA Novosti.

The decision to picket the Mayor's office was announced yesterday at the information rally, by People's Party leader, Koba Davitashvili. He said, the action will be a protest against the "impudence" Mayor Gigi Ugulava showed on May 26th.

"When all the people came to the Patriarch, Gigi Ugulava and other government representatives came to the Holy Trinity Cathedral and spoke about something with the Patriarch. I don't think they might threaten the Patriarch, but they might exert pressure on him threatening that in case the people doesn't calm down the authorities would use force", Daviteashvili explained the address of Ilia II the latter made on May 26th .

Opposition also states that representatives of the government and MPs who are afraid to enter the Parliament and the state Chancellery, gather in the Mayor's office building, and declare it to be one more reason for picketing.

Dermaplane Treatments

Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation of the skin that triggers the cell regeneration process and allows products to better penetrate skin. Dermaplaning also rids the face of excess fine hairs “Peach Fuzz,” which can often accumulate dirt and oil causing breakouts.

Contrary to popular belief, vellus hairs or “Peach Fuzz,” as opposed to terminal hair, will not grow back thicker or darker. Exfoliation of dead cells along with the removal of fine hairs results in healthier, brighter skin that has a smoother look and feel. Make-up will go on smoother too!

What is the treatment like?

Dermaplane treatments take about 30 minutes. The area to be treated will be cleansed, and then sterile blade will be used to gently exfoliate your skin.   The sloughed off skin cells and “peach fuzz” will be gently wiped away at the end of the procedure – revealing a fresh, vibrant skin surface.  No pain, no down-time, may be combined / added on to other treatments such as Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasion or Fractional Collagen Induction/Micro-Needling.

When will I see results?

What can I expect after my dermaplane?

Because dermaplaning is non-invasive it has low risk complications and is one of the safest skin rejuvenation procedures available. Some report redness, sensitivity, or dry feeling in their skin after a treatment, but this is temporary. Very rarely the skin can be nicked. This typically heals almost on the spot. Typical care following your treatment includes the use of moisturizers and sunscreens, and avoiding sun exposure for a few days. There is no downtime for this “lunch hour” procedure, and most people return to their regular activities immediately.

Will the “peach fuzz” on my face grow back darker and thicker after a dermaplane?

No. This is a common myth, but the hair on your face is not the same as the hair on your legs or bikini line. It will not be effected by a dermaplane in any way.

Can I combine my dermaplane with other treatments?

The answer to that is a resounding YES! Not only can you combine a Dermaplane with chemical peels, Fractional Collagen Induction/Micro-Needling,  laser LHE treatments, Microdermabrasion, or any of our Cosmecutical Facials… you should! By removing the outermost layer of the epidermis, a dermaplane treatment then allows whatever rejuvenating treatment that follows it to have a deeper and more long-lasting effect.

Baby beater Gary Guiblin has spoken to getreading and promised he is not the same man he was a few years ago.

The 22-year-old spoke for the first time after scores of people slammed him on our website for re-offending just a few months after his release for battering his four-week-old son.

Gary Guiblin blames cannabis for his crimes

In an exclusive interview, Guiblin, discussing the terrible crime that left his child brain damaged, said he was sorry for his actions.

“I hold my hands up for what I’ve done,” he said.

“It happened and I am responsible. But to bring it up three years later – it is rubbing my face in it.”

Guiblin was jailed for three-and-a-half years at the end of January 2007 after he admitted kicking, kneeing and shaking the tiny tot from West Reading in an attack in summer 2005.

Following his sentence police slammed his crown court punishment as being too soft.

In December 2008, just a few months after his release, he was re-offending, driving around Reading in a stolen car before stealing petrol from an Earley petrol station.

Following his latest offences he was released from Reading Magistrates’ Court to carry out unpaid work in the community last month.

Guiblin blamed cannabis for why he kicked the youngster.

“I was young,” he said.

“I regret it and I love children.

“I do not understand why it happened but I was on drugs and drink.

“There was too much pressure on me. I was very young and I had three children.”

On the night of the assault Guiblin’s then-girlfriend had gone out with friends.

He flew into a rage and attacked the baby. “It is not me now,” he said.

“It was drink and cannabis, although that’s not an excuse.”

Guiblin was living in Oxford at the time of his latest court appearance but has since moved back to Reading. He explained how he wanted to work in roofing and planned to start a training course.

He added: “I don’t see my child any more – this story has bought up a lot of bad feeling. People know my face now and hate me.”

A SHOPLIFTER has been given a second chance to mend his ways after telling a court it would be easier to get drugs in prison than on the outside.

Reading Magistrates’ Court heard on Friday that Ronald Pearson, of Wensley Road, has been clean of heroin and cocaine since October.

He admitted stealing a pair of children’s jackets from the Disney Store in The Oracle on Sunday, September 18, and taking bottles of whisky and brandy from Morrisons in Basingstoke Road on Monday, October 24.

The 23-year-old also confessed to failing to turn up to court for sentencing on Thursday, November 17.

John Hodge, prosecuting, told magistrates that when Pearson committed the thefts, he was already serving a conditional discharge imposed in September for common assault. He had also spent time in prison for theft earlier this year.

Colin Mackrell, defending, said although his client had tested positive for opiates and cocaine after his arrest in September, he had been clean of drugs by the time of the second offence.

Mr Mackrell pleaded with the bench not to send his client back to jail, telling magistrates it would harm his attempts to stay off drugs.

“He is very worried that it is much easier to get drugs in prison than outside,” Mr Mackrell said, adding Pearson’s mother had suffered serious mental health problems, which had contributed to his client’s offending.

The bench told Pearson: “You probably came to court thinking you were going to prison – you are very lucky you are not.

“This is a last chance.”

Sentencing was adjourned until Friday, January 6, to allow Pearson access to the Drug Intervention Programme.

He was given bail until then, on the condition he lives at Wensley Road and reports to police twice a week.

Members of a the Nepalese community who are concerned about a rise in gold thefts will be given tips on how to keep their precious items safe at two special police events.

Around 30 Nepalese people turned up to the Newtown Neighbourhood Action Group (NAG) meeting last month because they were concerned about rumours of targeted raids on Nepalese families in the area.

According to police there have only been three burglaries where gold has been the main target in Newtown in recent months and there is no evidence to say Nepalese people were being targeted.

But community members are concerned because some of them have unvalued, uninsured gold.

Neighbourhood Police Sergeant Dai Davies has organised two meetings to offer safety tips.

He said: “There isn’t really a problem as such. We’ve had three crimes where designer Asian jewellery has been stolen but I think word has got around and it's whipped up a bit of fear.

“Some of it is a cultural thing because the gold hasn’t been bought in this country so it’s not been professionally valued and that means it isn’t insured. Part of the advice we’ll be giving is for people who have gold to get it valued and insured and to take photos of it.

“We’ll also be giving out some personal safety advice.”

Jane Marsden, chairwoman of the NAG, said: “I think some Nepalese people come from a background where this sort of thing doesn’t happen and they can leave doors unlocked and not expect some scuzzy little heroin addict to burgle them.”

The meetings will take place at the Pakistani Community Centre in London Road at 3pm on Sunday, October 30, and at 7pm on Tuesday November 1.

A teenager who torched a homeless man’s sleeping bag while he slept inside has been jailed for just over three years.

Ikramul Hoque, 19, of Long Barn Lane, said to a friend “let’s set this guy on fire”.

CCTV then showed him taking a cigarette lighter to the bedding outside Reading Central Library at 9.40pm on Tuesday, May 21, last year.

The man inside, Christopher Bloomfield, awoke within seconds and put out the fire just as a passer-by rushed to his aid.

He suffered minor injuries, however Sandra Beck, prosecuting, said he was fortunate it was not worse.

Today at Reading Crown Court, Hoque was sentenced to three years and four months in a Young Offender Institution.

The court had previously heard how Hoque and his then-friend Gopal Sharma had been out in the town centre that evening.

Hoque said he had smoked some cannabis and drunk about three bottles of Desperados, tequila-flavoured beer.

After initially denying being in the area, Hoque admitted arson being reckless as to the risk of endangering life on January 3, but a Newton Hearing on Friday, February 14, was held to decide on what basis he should be sentenced.

Teenager to be sentenced for setting homeless man on fire

Asked at the hearing why he set fire to the bedding, Hoque said: “I was high at the time. I can’t remember.”

He said the first time he was aware of a man being inside was when he got up and patted the fire out and Hoque then rang for an ambulance.

Benjamin Thiele-Long, defending, said Hoque suffered from autism, ADHD and Tourette’s.

Before sentencing, Judge Nicholas Wood said: “Christopher Bloomfield was a vulnerable, defenceless man.

“Life on the streets must have been difficult and dangerous at the best of times and Mr Bloomfield was entitled to protection.

“He thought that library doorway was a safe refuge, but it wasn’t, because of you.

“He woke up to find pain in his feet and his sleeping bag on fire. That must have been a terrible moment. He said his feet felt like they were melting.

“It was your idea, you thought setting fire to the occupant of the sleeping bag was funny and were laughing.”

Hoque was sentenced to three years and four months’ imprisonment.

Investigation officer Detective Constable Iain Watkinson said: “This was a completely unnecessary crime against a vulnerable and defencelessperson who thought he was safe sleeping where he was that night. I hope today’s sentence will go some way to providing comfort and reassurance to this victim and others in similar situations and that it reminds people that offences of this nature will not be tolerated.

"People committing these sorts of crimes will be forcefully prosecuted and risk being sent to prison.”

We would like to make clear that the Gopal Sharma mentioned in court in the above story is not Gopal Sharma, 36, of Norton Road, East Reading.
