Leaving on time

My neighbour friend came to our room and asked ” what’s the best way to commit suicide”. We were in the first year of our engineering, with four people sharing a room at NIT Rourkela. We jokingly suggested, hanging , train, poison and many others. He laughed and said none of them are OK. My friend added, in case you have plans to go, give me your instrument box. He said he will.
Within a week his body was found in the lake near our campus. Unbelievable, with no signs to indicate that he was not joking all these days. He swam to the middle of the lake with the help of an inflated tyre and deflated it. Bored or scared of life but dared to die this way. I left for home, it took me one week to recover.

I learnt a big lesson, that a smiling face is no guarantee of a happy mind. Lots of wisdom does the rounds after the event.
Human mind is as deep as a bottomless pit, this is one area, people will talk authoratively not knowing they will never be a complete master.
Many of them do not want to talk of death, a morose subject, the only realty in life.
I am expecting some of my friends to stop reading this here because of the subject.

How do we know, what is the right age to die.
Some how it is assumed that we have to grow old and sick to die. Look back, recall all the people you know who died, your relatives, friends, acquaintances, friend’s friends, politicians, actors, sportsmen and many unknown, did they all die after living 90 to 100 years ?

Nobody has understood life, how can we understand death. We are shocked and grieved when we hear about a death, its natural. The period of grievance varies on individuals depending on the relationship. A dependant daughter will cry for more days than the married daughter.

Death has so many patterns and that is another shock. People exit via murders  suicides, accident, illness, many of them freaks, so it seems.
A truck crossed the median and hit a bus killing a few, sitting in different seats, random pick.
A young healthy man had a complete medical check up, dies of heart attack after a week, aged 50 only.
A relative in the village who was bitten by a cobra could not reach the hospital inspite of getting a transport in time. The vehicle breaks down on the way, the next one also same case, they were good cars, obstacles to delay the reaching the hospital.
Another person has a chest pain in front of a hospital but advises the helps to take him to another hospital where his son is a doctor. The son says this hospital is not equipped to deal with such cases and rushes to the hospital near which the attack had occurred. Reaches the hospital, too late, over.
People beat up doctors, damages hospitals when their ward dies, blaming everything around. There may be negligence, you need to correct, at the same time accept the reason for the departed to go and it was a must.
We can be born and go around anywhere in life, finally you will be there on that day and time.

The only reality in life is the end, so stop fearing it.
People go into depression, some manages to come out with some help. Others commits suicide. It is easy to say find somebody to talk to as a solution to the issue. Contact the help line. The one destined to live will find a way out, the others will not look for it.

There are scientists who have taken their own lives, we do not know what went through their mind. Maybe a failure that deprived all meanings life, where some others will take it as a challenge and somersault back into life.

There are successful film personalities who went into depressions, some of them have come out of it and others committed suicide.
Two cricketers who represented the the country, were contemplating suicide.
One of them looked at his children, realised he has to live for them, found meaning and decided to give up death.
Every event in our life is meaning less on its own. We have to give meaning to it.
Like cricket is one of my interest, I have many others, you can pick your own subjects to be interested in.
It can be social service, innovation in things we are doing, relationship, kindness, giving and so on.

Once you stop creating something new or something new happening, you are bound to get into boredom, which can lead to suicidal thoughts.
It is a nice question to ask, when was the last time you did something for the first time. If you can answer that everyday, your life can be interesting.

There is a dash between your start date and end date. That dash is your life, its in your hands to make it colorful the way you want.

It is very clear any body can be stillborn or die at any time.
My conclusion or shall I say belief ( it can change in the future, if I can get some good reason) is everybody has a date of birth and date of death (dod), time, place, and method. Nobody goes before his DOD and will never cross the line of dod, never mind when you were born, you can be 5, 10, 20 or 50.

One astrologer had told me my end date and its 3 years since that date. I am wondering whether I should ask him my money back or tip him for his mistake.

  1. I still vividly remember that incident, Rajen, that happened 51 years ago. He stayed in the next room to mine. I could not understand why he ended his life. When I saw his grieving parents, I had resolved that I will never end my life like him.
    During five years my stay at NIT R, I had seen few more cases of students ending their lives. in one case, one of our senior topper ended his life which appeared to be for no reason. They must be going through a lot of stress to commit suicide. More help is available now but still people commit suicide.
    You are right. No one knows when the end will come. So, let us not think much about it.

  2. Rightly said mind is a kind of a devil .Every time I get angry I remind myself that I will not get angry myself ,even in the face of Grave provocation but when the occasion comes the mind blinks for the moment and I do get angry .
    many people who commit suicide do it at the the spur of the moment and not by thinking deeply most of us were deeply disturbed by the suicide of Rajput the actor.

Social networking sites Facebook should offer a feature which makes it easier to a couple’s joint content following a break up, researchers say ..

Experts believe this could enable people to deal with the break up more effectively ..

Social networking sites should enable couples who split up to erase the evidence of their relationship more easily, researchers say ..

They suggest automatic software to gather the digital evidence of the relationship following a break-up ..

Dr Corina Sas Lancaster University and Professor Steve Whittaker of the University of California at Santa Cruz interviewed 24 young people about how they handled the evidence of their broken relationship in the on-line world ..

These “digital possessions” include everything texts, emails, music, video, social media and photos whether kept on mobile devices, a laptop or digital picture frame ..

“It’s particularly hard to remove the traces of a past relationship left on social networking systems and it can be painful to revisit this accidentally,” Sas said ..

“The greatest problems involved content on Facebook couples could easily be reminded of their ex unless they deliberately unfriended them. Even then, there could be content about your ex on your friends’ pages which you can’t delete,” Sas said ..

Researchers said it can be very time consuming when digital content is spread across different devices laptops or tablets and this would make the task much simpler ..

It could also enable people to deal with the break up more effectively, they said ..

The research “Design for forgetting; disposing of digital possessions after a breakup” found that people adopted three strategies for dealing with digital content, either deleting or saving everything, or ively deleting after a while ..

“The best approach is not to act on impulse but instead try to wait. Then you can which memories you want to keep and which you are confident you will not regret deleting,” said Sas ..

Gold Stars & Dopamine Hits

As a great follow up to my last post about NOT completing goals and workouts, I opened up my Strava account to find this waiting for me:

Yay, me!  I knew I was close to making the year’s mileage goal – but I hadn’t realized that I’d already met it.  And with another month or so of riding in 2016.  🙂

As I look at this very simple graph, I realized something: we often set goals that are within our reference point.  (Last January, I thought 1,000 was great.)  Ok, so that sentence didn’t come out as smooth as I would like it – I see it as a factor of: we don’t always know how awesome we can be, because we see any improvement as great.  We’re the ones that hold ourselves back.

See, I thought that 2,000 miles in a year was awesome.  But looking at this today, sure, I could have set the goal at 2,500 and likely accomplished it.  3,000 would have been a push – and I would have just had to pile on more miles earlier in the year (and possibly not have 2 surgeries back to back).

I’ll accept this baby step and insight into my goal setting, because often I can accomplish more than I think I can – I just have to trust myself.

Now… what to choose as my 2017 mileage goal?….

Last weekend’s ride…

      1. hahaha!! you guy are hilarious! 😀 Ok, let me think about 4,000. I’ve already planned for 1 road race and BCBR is at least 275miles… so yes, 4,000 may be a stretch but reachable. Thanks for the support!

The Starry Rift

My copy claims that Sheldon died shortly after completion of this book. WOE.

Unknown.jpegConfusingly, the quote on the front of my copy calls this a science fiction novel, which confused me immensely since I thought Tiptree only wrote two, and I have read them both. Anyway, it became a bit clearer as I read: this is three short stories linked together by the idea of two students asking a librarian at the Great Central Library of Deneb University, for help in their research on humans. So you could tenuously see this as one, 1001 Arabian Nights-style narrative, but I think that’s stretching it a bit..

Anyway, the three stories do all centre on humans; in the first and third, it’s humans in conflict with aliens – new aliens – and in the second it’s human on human violence. They are, despite the conflict, surprisingly positive stories about humans overcoming difficulties. All of the stories take place in or around a place called the Rift: an area of space that is relatively empty of stars, and therefore planets – which, pre-FTL, makes it hard to navigate through (something about needing landmarks, I think).

The first story is definitely my devastating favourite. “The Only Neat Thing To Do” got a number of accolades when it was published, and they are well deserved. Coati Cass is 16, space-mad, and has just been given “a sturdy little space-coupe” for her birthday. So off she goes exploring… and of course, runs into something unexpected. The nobility that Tiptree imagines for Coati, and the realism of her voice, are both just wonderful.

“Good night, Sweethearts” is an interesting story of identity, celebrity, loss and starting over. It’s a good story but it doesn’t really stand out for me.

Lastly, and longest, is “Collision”. This story is told both by humans and by the aliens with whom they are coming into contact; the conceit is that this story has been constructed through interviews with participants. There’s a human exploration team, and there’s bad humans called Black Worlders who have been doing some nasty things, and there are aliens who are getting angry at humans… The blurb says that “explorers cross impassable chasms of language, biology and hallucination to prevent a new age of war,” which about sums it up. Like I said before: surprisingly positive.

Overall this may not be quite the strongest of Tiptree’s work, but it’s still damn fine and should be read for “The Only Neat Thing To Do” anyway.

Bonus note: referencing your own work (Brightness Falls from the Air) to make sure it’s clear these stories are in the same world. Good work, Tip!

Producers are no doubt a peculiar breed. At any hour they can be found (in their underwear) at a computer experimenting with different sounds, their wife/helpmate in the next room counting sheep or wondering what they got themselves into with this basket case. This is, in large part, how the producer communicates; he mixes together thuds and echoes and reverberations to form a composition. This is his language, his contribution to the mess that is the music pot.

The truth is producers are vital. Without them, the emcee has no canvas on which to lay his brush strokes. The emcee depends on the producer to provide him a backdrop that will stimulate an array of emotion. Without variety in production, and this is to be noted, the orator will be limited in his song concepts and in turn, music as a whole will not evolve. We might even go so far as to say the producer/beat maker is a chemist, a catalyst in what we call a chemical reaction.

What a chemist does is “study the composition of matter and its properties.” In doing so, he will “produce and synthesize large quantities of useful naturally occurring substances and create new substances and useful processes.”

Now. While music is no doubt scientific, it is also spiritual, and the scriptures are quite clear on that. That being said, there are many producers in the genre of Holy Hip Hop whose convictions will not allow them to collaborate with the secular. They are protective of their compositions and choose not to have them intermingled with those who do not profess the same faith as they. This makes sense because, again, music is spiritual. Then there are those who do not hold to the same conviction. They are not exclusive on this matter and see no fault in building musically with those outside of their faith. They see it as a good and positive way to foster relationship.

To each his own.

Another thing worth noting is that a producer (to his own frustration, perhaps) is reliant on technology. Over the years, technology and its advances has provided ample room for the producer to run wild. But it has also made things all the more complex, primarily in the area of troubleshooting. The producer is dependent on what his machinery (computer, MPC, SP1200, etc.) will allow him. When the producer encounters a technological/equipment malfunction it is the equivalent to an emcee being forced to wear a muzzle. He is left angry at technology and the emcee is left doing crossword puzzles (in his underwear) during the late hours instead of penning songs.

Thank you to all the producers/scientists out there who do what they do with excellence and conviction. You are appreciated.

G-Styles, did you get that cable thing fixed yet!?

Superb NYC-based duo MS MR has been doing their part to promote fellow independent musicians ever since their success with last year’s debut full-length, Secondhand Rapture.

Since 2013, singer Lizzy Plapinger + producer Max Hershenow have been regularly releasing digital mix tapes that feature bands they’ve played with on tour and songs that keep them going during their seemingly non-stop touring around the world. Obviously, being in an active touring band is a great way to be exposed to music you might otherwise never hear, but it helps too that Plapinger co-founded Neon Gold Records, a boutique label with a history of tapping future pop geniuses like Passion Pit, Gotye, Magic Man, Ellie Goulding, and Mr. Little Jeans, to name a few.

Indeed, there are many a band that this writer’d previously never heard of before that I now count among some of my favorite independent musicians.

So what better way to start off your summer than with MS MR’s most recent mix tape, Track Addict Vol. IV. Stream the whole thing below; head to the band’s site for free download. You can find previous Track Addict editions there too.

Hunter’s Rosé 2020, Marlborough

Rosé from New Zealand - Marlborough
Review Date : 03-Feb-2021
Bright, salmon-pink, even colour throughout. The nose is soft and bright, nuances of field strawberries, stonefruit, lemon melded with rose petals and a white spice hint. Medium-light bodied, dry to taste, aromas of field strawberries in focus, followed by lemon zest, stonefruit, a little white pepper and rose petals linger on the closing. The wine is refreshing with lively acidity balance, flow smoothly with a touch of creaminess to a cleansing, dry finish. Serve this as an aperitif and match with cold smoked salmon and cream fraiche over the next 2 years. A blend of Pinot Noir, Riesling, Chardonnay and Gewurztraminer. Pinot Noir was left on skins for 24 hours; all varieties were fermented separately before blending. 13.5% alc, 2.58 g/l RS. Vegan friendly. 17+/20 pts (86 pts) Feb 2021 RRP $19.90

From garage door sales, the installation process, preventative maintenance & repairs, we pride ourselves on our quality garage door services. Our friendly staff comes highly trained and experienced, capable of handling your installation and repair services.

    • Residential Garage Doors
    • Wood Garage Doors
    • Fiberglass Garage Doors
    • Steel Garage Doors
    • Aluminum Garage Doors
    • Flush Panel Garage Doors
    • Carriage House Overlay Garage Doors
  • Garage Door Openers

    Garage door openers add convenience. In short, they are motorized devices that open and close your garage door controlled by switches on your garage walls. Most can be open via remote control or entry code. Homeowners love the convenience of a keyless entry system; which car garages are notorious for. Raynor Doors & More carries three garage door opener models: chain-drive, belt-drive, and screw-drive.

  • Chain-Drive Garage Door Opener

    Chain-drive options tend to be the popular option because of it being budget-friendly and dependable. This model of garage door opener utilizes a chain to move a trolley that results in your garage door opening and closing. These work great if you have a detached garage, they tend to make more noise than our other options.

  • Belt-Drive Garage Door Opener

    Belt-drive models use a belt rather than a chain to open and close your garage door and are a quieter option with the absence of a chain. Ideally, this works well with an attached garage because it affords you the convenience of entering and exiting your home without disturbing others. However, these are by far the most expensive option.

  • Screw-Drive Garage Door Opener

    A threaded steel rod rotates and moves a trolley, which leads to your garage door opening and closing. A major benefit of the screw-drive garage door opener is that it has minimal components and requires little maintenance throughout its lifetime.

Dragons Walk Among Us by Dan Rice is a mesmerizing urban fantasy with a gripping plot and sophisticated characters. Shutterbug Allison Lee is having a hard time in high school, bullied and abused by tougher, more popular girls. But she has something that gives her hope: her gift for photography which is getting some recognition. Perhaps her future is in photography? She is friends with a homeless man named Joe and while visiting him, she is attacked and now she cannot see. This event upends her life and plunges her into depression as she knows that her dream of becoming a great photographer is gone. When she is offered experimental treatment that might restore her vision, she desperately accepts it. But there are consequences to the procedure and they include seeing strange things like dragons in the company of people she meets. As she navigates through her new experiences, she must determine whether she is going nuts or has a supernatural gift. The journey leads to unexpected places and has hidden gems and twists for readers.

This enjoyable story is well-crafted with a female protagonist that is not just lovable but adorable. Allison Lee’s struggles are real and the author writes social issues that resonate with young adult readers, including bullying and the need to belong. The crisis is heightened when Allison Lee is bereft of the one thing that once gave purpose to her life: the ability to see. Her emotions are meticulously written and her humanity, though broken, shines out strongly in the story. I rooted for her through every page of the narrative. Dan Rice’s novel is imaginative and the world-building is constructed to deliver an experience that is both mysterious and enchanting without losing the realism that makes it relatable to readers. Dragons Walk Among Us is an exciting, suspenseful, and entertaining story that opens the portal to fantasyland for readers.

My Weekend in Paris

…was one of the best weekends of my life. No joke. I’m a big city girl so attending a show, eating delicious food that’s available at all hours of the day (for the most part), and getting driven around by a crazy taxi drivers make me happy. Having the privilege of getting guided tours of  the Latin Quarter, Montmartre, The Opera Garnier (plus more) between March 9 – March 12 put the icing on cake that was last weekend and I cannot wait to share it with you! See below:

WARNING: Since this trip was a four day weekend, this is a bit of a long post. If you don’t want to read every single word, I bolded the restaurants, and places I toured as well as the days I did them. If you haven’t done, seen, or tried any of them, I highly recommend each and every one! Of course, you can pick and choose butttt (try and do them all). #nopressuretho

March 9: Flew into Paris around noon. Had breakfast, lunch on the plane, and dropped off our stuff at the Hôtel Paris Bastille. Soon after we were quickly shuffled through the metro station and out onto the boat tour on the River Seine where we got a brief overview of the city’s history, saw where the Louvre and other museums are located, MANY different bridges, the Eiffel Tower, where Marie Antoinette was beheaded, etc. Post tour, I was famished. Luckily, I have foodie friends and together we discovered L’As du Fallafel, a BuzzFeed “27 of The Most Delicious Cheap Eats in Paris” recommendation. There I got the most DELICIOUS falafel plate with hummus, cabbage, cucumbers, onions, eggplant and tomatoes. ALSO a starter of mushroom hummus with the warmest, most pillow-like pita bread that I split with my friends. And for dessert? Berthillon where I got the world’s BEST SCOOP OF CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM (also on BuzzFeed’s list).

***and allow me to just say, idk if it was because the food was rly THAT good (it actually was) or because I was so hungry, but I ate every last bite of everything and consider it to be one of the most amazing meals in my entire life. So if you happen to be in Paris now or in the future, do yourself a favor by eating at these two places. You will NOT regret it. I swear.***

THAT NIGHT I saw Les Choirists which confused my mind because it made me feel like I was in NY for like 20 seconds. Especially since my dad and sister, Jessie, were there! 🙂 It was Jess’s spring break from college last week and they both came out to see me. 🙂 ‘Twas a fun time. But back to the show, for those wondering, it was like the choir version of School of Rock. Adapted from a film of the same name- Les Choirists that is, NOT School of Rock.

March 10: A guided tour of the Latin Quarter. This was cool because I got to go inside the Notre Dame, pass by Shakespeare and Company, visit medieval houses, and learn why the Catacombs were built. Apparently, there were too many bodies buried in the graves behind some of the houses which made cheese and milk go bad within the hour, made the locals terribly sick, and when the ground corroded, sometimes the bodies fell into their basements. Yeah, they had it pretty bad.

Right after the tour and just before lunch I saw the Luxembourg Gardens which were GORG even though it was still winter and all the trees were naked. For lunch, my friends and I ate at  Le Soufflot where I had a healthy fix of salmon with quinoa…then became starving for dinner…still getting used to the fact that people don’t snack or drink a lot of water out here. BUT THAT ASIDE and before dinner, I spent about an hour an a half with my Jess on the fifth floor of the Musée d’Orsay where I taught her about all the impressionist paintings and painters I’d just learned about that Wednesday in my art history class. I feel very appreciative of being able to see the real thing so soon after learning about them. My dad was there too and took longer to look at the art work…but I couldn’t blame him…he’s been waiting to see them in person since middle school.

That night, we had a group dinner at the Bistrot Barjot where the portions were so tiny, my starter, main dish, and dessert felt like an appetizer combined. Afterwards my friend Bailey and I (with the help of our trusty Parisian, Brannon) raced through the Metro to the nearest Chipotle and satisfied our slight homesickness and hunger pains.

POST CHIPOTLE I went with another group of friends to see the Eiffel Tower light up from the view of the Trocadero (highly recommended). And then an hour later we checked out one of the most famous jazz clubs in Paris, Duc des Lombards (also highly recommended) where I tried a Bordeaux wine and listened to some of the most exciting improv sets in my life.

March 11: A walking tour of Montmartre Hill (where the best lookout of Paris is), Sacré-coeur (the beautiful church on the hilltop), and Place du Terte (where TONS of artists gather to paint portraits and where at the very bottom of the hill, you can see the exterior of the the Moulin Rouge Cabaret. ALSO got to pass Le Gernier A Pain Saint Amand on the tour which is an AWARD WINNING BOULANGERIE (pic on my IG). But sad story short, I didn’t get to try the official 2010 and 2015 best baguette in Paris because there was still so much to do and see. Also my tour guide walked super fast. But its just another reason to go back!

For lunch and the rest of the day, I decided to dedicate it to family. My dad, Jess, and I explored Sacré-coeur a bit more then mosied on down to the Eiffel Tower where we thought we could easily sit down to a casual lunch in the tower with a view of the city buttttttt HAHA we were WRONG. The next available slot was for March 27th. I lunched on a mozzarella/pesto panini purchased from one of the million kiosks at the tower’s base instead and together we rode the elevator to the deuxieme étage, snapped some pics, then rode all the way to the top where the view was breathtaking and the champagne was bubbling. If you’ve never been to Paris, this is something you MUST DO. NO EXCEPTIONS MADE. The weather, the people I was with, the view. Even my panini. It was life changing. And when you go, tell them Rebi sent you. Jk this won’t actually do anything.

Post Eiffel Tower me and the fam did an audio tour of the Catacombs which was so creepy but totally worth it. Ever since I was forced to read the “Casque of Amontillado” in my 9th grade English class, I’ve been wanting to check it out. I took lots of pics, limestone drippings stained my white adidas, and I swear a demon possessed my Sony for 5 minutes. It was great. IMPORTANT TO NOTE: we did the audio tour and bought the tickets in advance. I prefer audio tours because it allows you to appreciate what you’re seeing more with necessary context. Well worth the money. Also buying the tix ahead of time saves you from standing in a 2 hour line….0.o We literally took the taxi from the Eiffel Tower to the Catacombs and got in within 3 minutes. IT PAYS TO PLAN AHEAD, PPL!

Post Catacombs and for dinner, we checked out Chez Gladines– a highly recommended French restaurant (shoutout again to Brannon). Famished for the third day in a row because #whatissnackingandhydrationinfrance we had to wait 30 minutes for the restaurant to open right at 7 (since it’s an authentic Parisian place only Parisians know about) and as soon as they did, we were one of the last people to be seated. It’s that popular. For the big event I ordered a vegetarian salad (hold the eggs) that consisted of giant chunks of lettuce, large chunks of cheese, and half a bottle of dressing. There were some delicious tomatoes and potatoes thrown in there that helped balance it out. And before said salad, I tried my first ever batch of escargot (soaked in a delicious garlic sauce)!!!

Yeah, I know I’m pescatarian but trying escargot for the first time in Paris has been bucket list goals for as long as I can remember. And I’m pretty proud I accomplished that.

As for post dinner? Some déja-vu. I went with my dad and Jess back to the Trocadero to show them what I saw the previous night. Then we sat on the steps and ate banana and Nutella stuffed crêpes. I ate mine then finished my dad’s.

March 12: My dad and Jess left on a plane back to the U.S. before I woke up. But I knew this ahead of time and was able to say a proper goodbye to them the night before. That morning, I got a marvelous tour of The Opera Garnier (THE OPERA HOUSE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA IS BASED ON) and fan-girled over the gorgeous stage, the grandiose stair case in the lobby (while supressing the urge to belt “Mascarade”), and the gilded room women used to not be allowed in and where Victoria’s Secret and Stella McCartney have annual fashion shows in.

For lunch? Shakespeare and Company where I feel like I had one of the most healthy and organic meals since being overseas. Plated were two (idr the name but) basically two large sushi rolls filled with brown rice, avocado, and mango, a Fulsin maple and peanut protein snack (which was scrumptious), and a green smoothie that contained mango, banana, and spinach (that was also scrumptious).

Then it was back to the hotel, onto the bus, and off to the airport so that we could fly home.

That weekend, I did A LOT. I slept about 5 hours a night, but balanced my meals and was so excited I honestly didn’t really feel tired until I got back home Sunday night. Since, I’ve caught up on sleep and haven’t gotten sick. *knocks on wood*

Also if you’re wondering, breakfast was just at the hotel every day. On the -1 floor lol. I switched it up between what looked like a whole wheat baguette with mixed berry jam, dried figs, and apricots, to the same selection of fruit with egg whites and about two Americanos to suppress any feelings of tiredness I may have had so I could enjoy and absorb every second I was in Paris.

If you follow me on the gram, you can probs tell from this week that I already REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to go back. I def want to hit up more of the restaurants on BuzzFeed’s list, eat an award winning baguette, see the Louvre (even though it would take someone 150 years to actually see all of it), go to Versailles, see Monet’s garden, goodness. The list just goes on and on and on.

If it’s your first time in Paris and you’re reading this, I suggest following some if not all of my itinerary. It’s well worth it. Your stomach, heart, and soul will thank you. I could go on and on about the city of love. But, alas, I will end it here.

Thanks for reading and see ya soon! 🙂

Rebi ❤

P.S. I rly want a nutella and banana crêpe now. Damn it.

How to Use Flat Irons Like a Pro

The flat iron is an essential hair styling tool. From straight, to wavy, to even natural looks, this tool can handle it all. While we all think we know how to straighten hair, we could all do with a refresher. And while this tool can be a lifesaver, by using it incorrectly you are causing more trouble in the long run. To avoid inadvertently damaging your hair, check out our three simple tips for using flat irons like a pro.

Protect Your Hair

Always start by prepping hair with a heat protectant like Eleven Miracle Hair Treatment. This will make sure hair stays healthy and easy to style.maxresdefault.jpg

Use Even Sections

The key for polished flat iron styles is even sectioning. When styling hair, keep sections the same size for a consistent and balanced hairstyle. Generally six even sections, illustrated in the image below, is sufficient. If you have very thick hair you may need to create more, smaller sections to keep things manageable.sections.png

Get Your Temperature Right

Finally, make sure you know what flat iron temperatures suit your hair and style. If your flat iron doesn’t have temperature settings, it’s probably time for an upgrade.

  • 80°C          Smooth frizz and flyaways
  • 105°C        Styling damaged hair
  • 130°C        Styling fine hair
  • 160°C        Styling loose waves or natural styles
  • 185°C        Standard styling and straightening
  • 210°C        Coarse, unruly hair

AP Report: Iran Suspected Source of 1000s of Military Arms Seized by US Navy

(U.S. Navy Photo)

According to a statement released by the US Navy, weapons were seized in international waters of the Arabian Sea, between the coasts of Oman and Pakistan, south of the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. They were found in below deck on a “dhow,” a traditional Middle Eastern sailing ship.  The weapons were wrapped in green plastic.

(U.S. Navy Photo)

The vessel was “stateless”, not being registered with any country.

The Navy statement says the original source and destination of the cargo is “under investigation.”  But the AP reports that it has been told the weapons were from Iran and were headed for the Houthi rebels in Yemen.

An American defense official told The Associated Press that the Navy’s initial investigation found the vessel came from Iran, again tying the Islamic Republic to arming the Houthis despite a United Nations arms embargo. Iran’s mission to the U.N. did not immediately respond to a request for comment, though Tehran has denied in the past giving the rebels weapons.

Based on interviews with the crew and material investigated on board, the sailors determined the vessel came from Iran, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation.

The ongoing war in Yemen is largely a proxy war being waged between Iran and Saudi Arabia/UAE, although the forces aligned with Saudi Arabia and the forces aligned with the UAE have clashed with each other as well. But both oppose the Houthi rebels backed by Iran.

On February 6, 2021, the Biden State Department announced that it was removing the “terrorist” designation from the Houthi rebels, as such a designation made it impossible for some humanitarian aid to reach large parts of the Yemini population from organizations like the UN. The Trump Administration had attached the “terrorist” designation to the Houthis just prior to the transition of power to the Biden Administration.

While that might seem like a wise decision from a humanitarian angle, it undermines the effort to de-legitimize Iranian efforts backing the Houthis — but maybe that was the goal as well.

In the grand scheme, this seizure probably does little to curtail the ongoing war in Yemen, as that country is the second most heavily-armed country in the world on a per capita basis — behind only the United States. But Yemen is also one of the poorest countries in the world, at the same time.

The Biden Administration is showing no signs of interest in trying to curtail Iranian hostility towards its neighbors in the Middle East. The only cost Iran might pay here is the financial loss in terms of the cost to acquire these arms.  But, even in that respect, Iran might have simply paid for the weapons with part of the cash given to Iran at the end of the Obama Administration.

I guess you could look at it as the Obama Administration bought those arms, and the Biden Administration took delivery.

Maybe Biden can resell them to Venezuela and recoup some of the costs.

Why I dislike profanity.

Perhaps you recall an earlier post where I referred to topics I might discuss in this blog. (Click here to see that entry.) This post is in response to the next issue I wanted to address: Why foul language bothers me.

"Swearing is the language of the ignorant." That's what I grew up hearing. "People who swear are not smart enough to think of a more appropriate word."

Think about it... when an author wants to indicate an intelligent race, he usually eliminates swearing from the vocabulary.

For years, I associated swearing with lack of intelligence and lack of refinement. I never really thought about the "author" of foul language. Other than the obvious "Lord's name in vain" type references, I never thought about how all swearing is offensive to God until I took a class taught by Randall Wright. He conducted a study on affects of strong language in the media. Research and study revealed that all swear words fit into four different categories.
  1. Describing body parts and/or functions. We are created in God's image. Our bodies are divine temples where our spirits dwell. So who would want to mock bodies? Satan...he who has no body!
  2. Descriptions or references to intimacy. Intimacy is sacred and beautiful. Through intimate relations, husband and wives can draw close to each other, as well as bring children into the world. So who would want to make fun of such a sacred union? Old Scratch...he who would love to destroy marriage and family relationships.
  3. Describing others. We are all children of God, no matter what color, size, or shape. He loves us all, and wants us to care for each other. So who would want us to mock others? Yep...ole what's-his-no-face, the master of mockery (and misery).
  4. Vain references to Deity. The misuse, overuse, and downright abuse of holy names are utterly offensive to God. So who would want us to profane Deity? The evil one who fights against all things Holy and Good.
There you have it: profanity is authored by the devil. Foul language offends me, and worse, it offends God.

Sometimes when I complain about foul language, I hear the response, "Oh, I don't even notice. I hear far worse at school." (or work, or wherever...) When I mention strong language in films, I usually hear about "realism" and how it was "true to the character." Well, I don't care. A character can display anger through expression and action. I don't need to hear profanity spewing forth to understand his anger, or to understand his upbringing, or to understand his (or her) feelings.

Some accuse me of being naive if I think films don't need profanity. I say, "Look at the classics. They didn't need profanity and they are still held as a standard of great films."

Some tell me profanity is inevitable. I say,"The media helped bring profanity to this level, therefore the media can help bring the level of profanity down!"

Island – crowd sourced constitution is dead

Iceland’s ‘crowd-sourced’ constitution is dead
Posted on 29 March 2013    by Baldur Bjarnason (@fakebaldur)

* late 2008 and early 2009: pots- and pans-banging crowds in Parliament Square in Reykjavík
* early 2009: new post-crash government that came to office
* Fewer than 37% percent voted in the election for the constitutional parliament.
* The next step should have been to put the draft to a committee that would then have solicited feedback from constitutional scholars, lawyers, and other experts. Parliament should have then spent several months of continuous work hammering out the gaps, loopholes, and wording of the document before presenting it to the nation. Instead the government put it in a drawer and sat on it for months.
* At first the goal was to put the completed constitution proposal to a referendum alongside the presidential election in June 2012.
* The only thing that the autumn 2012 constitutional referendum accomplished was to prove that the new constitution was dead. But that’s not how foreign media reported it.
* after the October 2012 referendum that some of the unsupportive academics stepped forward with critical comments on the bill

Equus October
(262 words)

[German version]

(October equus). A chariot race was held every year on the Ides of October on the  Campus Martius in Rome (Fest. 190 L.; Plut. Quaest. Rom. 97), and the right-hand horse of the victorious team (but cf. [2]) killed. The horse's head was (previously?) wrapped in bread (panibus) or ─ if we follow the conjecture in [5] ─ with cloths (pannibus). After the animal had been killed with spears, the inhabitants of the Roman quarters of Via Sacra and Subura fought for the head, which was then either carried to the  Regia (Via Sacra) or hung from the turris Mamilia (Subura), while the tail…

Tabella nutrizionale

The nutritional table

What is it - How to do it - Regulations - Nutritional tables in the world

In most markets, the label of each food product must include the nutritional table, which is an indicator of the energy value of the food in relation to its proteins, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, sodium, vitamins and mineral salts.
The nutritional table was optional until 2011 (except products whose marketing claims clearly refer to specific nutritional indications), the nutritional value table became mandatory with the entry into force of EU Regulation no. 1169/2011. Therefore, for packaged food products that are distributed and marketed in a European country and addressed to the final consumer, the nutrition declaration on the label is mandatory. At the same time, again in the EU area, the nutritional table can be attached to the technical data sheets for products intended for the community (e.g., public exercises such as bars, restaurants, hotels, etc.).

Mandatory or Optional?

The obligation to put the nutrition label on the label does not include “pre-cooked products for direct sale” (e.g. cheese exposed in fridges, wrapped in cellophane with a sticker bearing the brand of the supermarket) and bulk food (such as legumes in the “do-it-yourself” weighing bag); foods supplied to the community are also excluded, but they are subject to mandatory and specific indications of allergenic ingredients
The exclusion of this obligation also applies to certain categories of products, as described in Annex V to EU Regulation (e.g. flavorings, spices or jelly), micro-packs (whose surface area is less than 25 cm²), and beverages with an alcohol content higher than 1.2% of volume.

The data: which ones and in what order?

In Europe, the nutritional table includes the data derived from laboratory tests or generally accepted data or even data derived from calculations “obtained from (known or actual) average values for the ingredients used”.
The nutritional data are reported as the standard lexicon envisages and must be inserted abiding by an established order and referring to 100 grams or milliliters of product. The order is the following: energy (kJ, kcal), fat, of which saturates, carbohydrate, sugars, protein, salt.

Nutritional table in the world: the rules change in North America

Although food nutritional values remain unchanged, the indications to be put on the label may differ depending on the country where the product is marketed. For this reason, the mere translation of the table is not enough, either because of a possible linguistic and practical non-conformity (it is always necessary to correctly use all regulatory wordings), as well as because of the necessary knowledge of the rules to express and round decimal numbers envisaged in each country. A blatantly clear example is the comparison between the mandatory European nutritional table and the US or Canadian one: three countries, three different approaches and three different regulations to provide nutritional values to consumers.

In the USA, on July 26, a legislation modifying the rules to draw up a correct nutritional table came into force: producers can rearrange their nutritional tables until July 26, 2018 or 2019 (if they sell less than $ 10 million in food per year). The differences with previous legislation are remarkable, but the main ones concern table graphics, nutrients update based on new scientific evidence and updates of serving sizes and nutritional labeling requirements for certain formats.

The following is a comparative image of a label before and after the new rule. The image was published on the official FDA website.

Here you can find a comparison picture of a label before and after the new legislation, published on FDA website.

On December 14, the Canadian Ministry of Health announced some amendments to the Food and Drug Regulations to make the nutritional table and the ingredients list of pre-packaged foods easy to understand. The main changes aim at making the comparison of similar portions easier and more realistic so as to reflect the quantities taken in a meal. At the same time, the new table also aims at making the finding and reading of information on portions and calories easier and reviewing daily percentages according to up-to-date scientific data.

An example of the modified Canadian nutrition table:

Here you can find a comparison picture of a label before and after the new legislation; it was published on the website of the Canadian Government (Government of Canada website).

In Canada, manufacturers will have five years to update their labels and eliminate those which were prepared according to previous legislation: new labels become mandatory on December 14, 2021.
