Quotes from the Official Josephine Baker site...
By Josephine | About Josephine
"Surely the day will come when color means nothing more than the skin tone, when religion is seen uniquely as a way to speak one's soul; when birth places have the weight of a throw of the dice and all men are born free, when understanding breeds love and brotherhood."
"The secret to the fountain of youth is to think youthful thoughts."
"... I improvised, crazed by the music... Even my teeth and eyes burned with fever. Each time I leaped I seemed to touch the sky and when I regained earth it seemed to be mine alone."
"I believe in prayer. It's the best way we have to draw strength from heaven."
"Beautiful? It's all a question of luck. I was born with good legs. As for the rest... beautiful, no. Amusing, yes."
"I like Frenchmen very much, because even when they insult you they do it so nicely."
"Since I personified the savage on the stage, I tried to be as civilized as possible in daily life."
"We must change the system of education and instruction. Unfortunately, history has shown us that brotherhood must be learned, when it should be natural."
"It [the Eiffel Tower] looked very different from the Statue of Liberty, but what did that matter? What was the good of having the statue without the liberty?"
"I did take the blows [of life], but I took them with my chin up, in dignity, because I so profoundly love and respect humanity."
"We've got to show that blacks and whites are treated equally in the army. Otherwise, what's the point of waging war on Hitler?"
"I love performing. I shall perform until the day I die."
"I'm not intimidated by anyone. Everyone is made with two arms, two legs, a stomach and a head. Just think about that."
"The white imagination is sure something when it comes to blacks."
"Art is an elastic sort of love."
"One day I realized I was living in a country where I was afraid to be black. It was only a country for white people. Not black. So I left. I had been suffocating in the United States... A lot of us left, not because we wanted to leave, but because we couldn't stand it anymore... I felt liberated in Paris."
"I am tired of that artificial life. The work of being a star disgusts me now. All the intrigues which surround the star disgust me... I want to work three or four more years and then quit the stage. I'll go live in Italy or the South of France. I will get married, as simply as possible. I will have children, and many animals. I love them. I want to live in peace surrounded by children and animals. But if one of my children wanted to go onstage in the music hall, I would strangle it with my own two hands."
"The old Catholic parties hounded me with a Christian hatred from station to station, city to city, one stage to another."
"You are on the eve of a complete victory. You can't go wrong. The world is behind you."
- Josephine, speaking at the '63 March on Washington
"Salt and pepper. Just what it should be."
- Josephine, looking over the crowd at the 1963 March
"Until the March on Washington, I always had this little feeling in my stomach. I was always afraid. I couldn't meet white American people. I didn't want to be around them. But now that little gnawing feeling is gone. For the first time in my life I feel free. I know that everything is right now."
"I think they must mix blood, otherwise the human race is bound to degenerate. Mixing blood is marvelous. It makes strong and intelligent men. It takes away tired spirits
Understanding the Importance of Krebs /TCA Cycle in Our Bodies
IIn 1953, a British scientist, Professor Hans Adolf Krebs won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine with his discovery that is now called the Krebs Cycle Theory.
The Krebs cycle (TCA Cycle or Citric Acid Cycle) is our body's energy production house and it makes the majority of energy in our body to keep us alive. It is essential and without it we would not exist.
According to Krebs theory, the starch and sugar in the food we eat is converted into glucose, the fats are converted into fatty acids, and the protein in meat and beans is converted into more than 20 types of amino acids. All these nutrients must be combined with acetic acid (from vinegar) before they can enter the citric acid cycle. In this citric acid cycle, these nutrients are converted into energy (adenosine triphosphate, ATP) that can be utilised by the body. During the conversion process, the food is continuously converted into citric acid, which is then converted into cis-Acotinate, isocitrate, a -ketoglutarate, succinate, fumarate, malate and oxaloacetate. The cycle repeats itself when the acids are converted back to citric acid.
Maintaining this Krebs Cycle is very important, but the cycle cannot function properly if the body is tired or restricted by an improper diet. When the nutrients are not fully synthesised, the incomplete combustion residue will be converted into pyruvate, which will break down into lactic acid when exposed to hydrogen ion. The accumulation of lactic acid in the body results in muscle aches, pain in the nerves and lethargy. The accumulation of lactic acid in the blood stream results in an acidic body.
Boost Your Kreb's Cycle!
The great news is, if you have a sluggish Krebs Cycle, you can now bring your health back on the right track by improving your Krebs Cycle by using a good energy accessory and supplementing with these natural herbal supplements:
Seekers of Understanding make pilgrimages to sites that hold special meaning for them. This is true for those observing the urgings of their religion, those hoping for a miraculous cure, brain-dead Elvis fans that visit Graceland in hopes of communicating with The King, and people who want to reach a higher plane of existence. I fall into the last category.
The plateau of sandstone fins above Negro Bill Canyon is a sacred place where I can seek Oneness with the rock in an attempt to express my submission to the Great Wonder. On my early 2007 trip to Moab I was called once again to this temple of nature. But this visit was special in that it exposed me to something I thought I would never see in my physical lifetime: an aura center. As I wandered through the fins I became attracted by an unseen force; that force led me to this spot atop a huge sandstone fin.
Those In The know will instantly realize that this is an aura center, a rare place subject to intermittent beaming of sandstone auras into the Magnificent Ether. Sandstone is unique in that it beams auras without provocation, but it does so in very few places. The process of beaming releases energy at the rock-air interface, causing microscopic erosion of the sandstone surface. Over eons, this produces depressions in the rock called aura cavities. Every cavity represents a unique beaming event. (WARNING: Drinking rainwater found in an aura cavity water will cause a change to your physical shell that your spouse or significant other will not appreciate.)
My prone position was an attempt to maximize my chances of channeling some of the aura through my body. By doing so I hoped to transform myself from a somewhat wordy person to one who speaks or writes with a reasonable level of output, and thereby perhaps wins an award for conciseness.
Capturing the beam of sandstone aura is a daunting task of chance, akin to trying to cross the Pacific Ocean on a raft made of water-soluble reeds. I was unsuccessful with the channeling (was my hat's chin strap at fault?). Brevity still eludes me.
To fulfill his support role here, Joe Tripod straddled four aura cavities but did not stand in any of them.
Another hike exposed me to the largest aura cavity on record.
KIGALI, December 16, 2020: Rwanda Development Board has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with trade enabler-DP World to launch its new global B2B and B2C e-commerce platform, Dubuy.com, in Rwanda early next year. The vision of the MoU is to make it easier for Rwandan businesses to engage in international trade.
Rwanda will become DP World’s hub for expanding e-commerce across the East Africa Community and beyond. Rwandan businesses will also benefit from broader DP World services and investment that will help to facilitate and develop trade. This includes the promotion of Rwandan exports of coffee, tea, and horticulture on Dubuy.com, the modernising of Rwanda’s supply chain logistics including in rural areas, and access to digital tools to help businesses save money and expand their reach to local, regional, and global markets.
The decision to launch Dubuy.com in Rwanda follows the country’s consistent superior annual rating in the World Bank’s global “Ease of Doing Business” rankings and its commitment to international trade and investment.
The e-commerce site will bring Rwandan products to global markets and help enterprises from around the world to invest in Rwanda. In turn, Rwandans will have greater access to international products.
DP World has already invested in world-class port and logistics facilities in Kigali, demonstrating its strong belief in Rwanda’s future.

History of the Museum
Scientific research and gathering in Austria found relatively late understanding and promotion. Indeed contained the chambers of art and curiosities of the Habsburgs also natural produce but for a long time they have been regarded as mere oddities, not as objects of scientific importance. It was not until Emperor Franz I. (Francis Stephen of Lorraine, 1745-1765), the husband of Maria Theresia, founded in 1748 with the purchase of the famous collection of Johann Baillous a private Naturalienkabinett. It was put up in accordance to Baillous' own scientific system in the Hofburg and was initially managed by this self.
The main emphasis was put on minerals and fossils as well as snail and mussel shells and corals. Plants and animals with soft parts were then (mainly because of the preparation problems) yet little appreciated as collector's items. They were held alive in botanical gardens and menageries.
After the death of Francis I the collection in which the Emperor had invested large sums of money was transferred into state ownership, reorganized and made twice a week accessible to the public. 1776 appointed Maria Theresa, particularly dear to her being mainly the earth sciences as a basis for mining and industry, the excellent mineralogist and montanist Ignaz von Born to Vienna and entrusted him with the systematic expansion of the collection. Born was a leader of the Enlightenment and Freemasonry, he might even have given the model for Sarastro in Mozart's "Magic Flute". With him for "Austria", definitely, dawned the scientific-technological age. The Naturalienkabinett (a cabinet of curiosities) then became a center of mineralogical research in Europe.
The nature-loving Emperor Franz II (I, 1792-1835) expanded the natural history collection for a private animal cabinet. The foundation for this were the trophies of the Habsburgs, which date back to Emperor Maximilian II (1564-1576), as well as the famous collection of prepared native vertebrates and insects of the falconer Joseph Natterer. After several reclassifications followed in 1807 the foundation of a separate plants cabinet. The Emperor lay with the gift of his Privatherbars (private plant collection) the foundation.
The exhibition practice around 1800 was marked by an often curious juxtaposition of little scientific and very progressive tendencies. The stuffed animals were shown in artificial landscape dioramas, ie already in ecological context. Alongside, however, stood also Stopfpräparate (stuffed compounds) of people of non-native breeds such as the "high princely Moor' Angelo Soliman, who came to literary fame.
The eminent scholar and organizer Carl Schreibers who from 1806 until 1851 headed the Natural History Collection, provided for key reforms in all areas. He extented all departments to major research centers and was supported not only by the museum officials, but also by a number of often highly skilled, unpaid volunteers.
On the occasion of the marriage of his daughter Leopoldina with the Brazilian crown prince Dom Pedro in 1817 sent Emperor Franz also well-known researchers to South America. Through their collecting activities, the growth of the museum's experienced a glorious climax. So stayed the zoologist Johann Natterer for 18 years in South America and established an in an exemplary manner documented collection of scientific and ethnographic objects for Vienna. This contributed significantly to the worldwide reputation of the museum, but also led to a decades-long lack of space.
With various, not always felicitous chosen emergency solutions on tried in vain to handle space problems sussesfully. During the revolutionary turmoil of 1848, the Imperial Palace was bombarded by imperial troops and partially set on fire. A part of the collection was destroyed, tragically, also many irreplaceable objects from the Brazilian material.
In the years after the Revolution, the collection was converted into an independent zoological, botanical and mineralogical Hofkabinett (Court cabinet). These cabinets with their extremely rich stocks offered not only ideal possibilities to explore, they contributed to the establishment of scientific disciplines in the university sector in 1870 also considerably to the formation of young scientists. The collections have been enhanced through exchange and purchases, by the collecting activities of the researchers as well as legacies, especially of scientifically inclined travelers, constantly . In addition, the by the Imperial Court generously funded cooperation with the Austrian navy became very important: Especially the circumnavigation of the world of the frigate "Novara" (1857-1859), which was attended by numerous excellent naturalist, gave an exceedingly rich collection of new material to the museum. The scientific word off should take decades.
This scientific Poiniergeist (pioneering spirit), reflecting the general belief in progress in the second half of the 18th Century, was facing the more and more oppressive need of space. Although Emperor Franz Joseph had already in 1857 the razing of the fortification lines around the city center ordered. On the cleared area should along a boulevard alongside other representative public buildings also new museums emerge. Up to the completion of this project, however, it was still a long way to go.
The liberal bourgeoisie then undergoing a steep political and economic upswing was inclined to replace the old cabinets through research and education centers for broad strata of the population and thus make its own cultural advancement clearly visible. But the neo-absolutist empire of the gradually decaying Habsburg monarchy, too, wanted erect itself a modern, artistically accomplished monument: A monumental Imperial Forum following the ancient example was planned, that should be reaching from the Imperial Palace to the royal stables. Realized of it was only a torso: the New Castle and Maria Theresa Square with Museum of Art History and Museum of Natural History.
The internal organization of the new 'Imperial and Royal Natural History Court Museum", which on 10 August was officially opened in 1889, goes back to the great geologist, New Zealand researcher and first director of the museum, Ferdinand von Hochstetter, and has been preserved largely in its clear systematic today. However, the proliferation of resources and new demands on the research and display collection activities required new spatial and structural solutions. Thus, an underground storage was created in 1990, which extends under the building on four levels and in fully air-conditioned rooms keeps a portion of the collection material. Due to the roof extension (1991 to 1995) further collection, but also numerous new working rooms were gained.
The research, the preservation and completing of the major scientific collections and the presentation of selected natural objects to this day have not lost any of their topicalities. In a time of increasingly rapid destruction of our environment, they are more important than ever. Just as the white patches have become smaller on the map, penetrates the science into ever smaller areas. Long scanning electron microscope and X-ray equipment have replaced hand magnifier. In the permanent exhibition area visitors also have access to advanced optical devices, especially in "Microcosmos" ( Hall 21). The preservation of collection, too, follows modern conservation knowledge.
Over a century ago, the Museum hace been created for the systematic presentation - the diversity of nature sorted strung together, the palace-like building, the interplay of means and objects as well as the historic atmosphere giving it a distinctive character.
Even with the redesign of many exhibition halls systematic classification was basically retained to make the visitors aware of the immense diversity of life. However, the presentation is successively adapted to the museological requirements and needs of the 21st century. Also presented are interesting topics and new contents in a contemporary didactic form.

Быть может я вам всем сейчас скажу,
Секрет,
Но не уверен я и в этом,
Но все же, раз об этом я пишу,
Скажу,
И буду без сoмненья прав,
Хоть до сих пор я не уверен,
Но к черту жалкий серый страх!
А может лучше промолчать?
Тогда, раз уж никто и не узнает,
Спокойней будет мне,
И вам,
И дальше буду я в себе держать,
А снег и дальше таять..
Но белый, потом серый, снег
Растает в летнем свете,
А мой секрет
Всю жизнь и будет мукой мне.
Я лишь хотел сказать вам этим,
Что лучше полоснуть чистейшей правдой по глазам,
Чем лить вкуснейшую неправду.
И словно бабочка крылом
Твои слова из чистой правды
Застряли в сердце топором,
А я забыл сказать о главном…
Я не могу так поступать как ты,
Я не могу так сухо молвить факты,
Ведь раньше в сердце был лишь белый свет,
Оставленный твоими черными глазами,
Сейчас там лишь топор,
Оставленный твоими нежными руками.
Я вам скажу, секретов нет,
Мою любовь втоптали в пыль ногами.

PUB and US-EPA sign MOU to collaborate on sustainable urban water management
Strategic alliance is latest milestone in list of water partnerships between Singapore and the United States
PUB, Singapore’s national water agency, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on sustainable management of water resources. Both organizations will cooperate through various exchange platforms to increase scientific and technical knowledge on long-term water sustainability.
The MOU underscores many areas of synergy between Singapore and the United States in sustainable water management, such as providing safe and sustainable water for its populations, growing strong and vibrant industry water clusters, and providing innovative water solutions, jobs and economic growth. Under this partnership, several mutual areas of interest have been identified for bilateral cooperation, such as safe drinking water research; watershed management to improve and protect water quality for human health and ecosystems; technological research and development for innovative water and wastewater treatment; water reuse and resource recovery from wastewater; and sustainable water infrastructure.
The MOU was signed by the Chief Executive of PUB, Mr. Chew Men Leong and the U.S. Ambassador to Singapore, Mr. David Adelman, at the NEWater Visitor Centre. The event was officially witnessed by Singapore’s Permanent Secretary for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr. Choi Shing Kwok, in the presence of guests from the Singapore and the U.S. water industry, institutes of higher learning and research organisations.
“The EPA is internationally renowned as a water research and policy leader, especially in the area of water quality, and is a key partner of PUB as we continue to collaborate with the global water industry to co-create innovative solutions to meet our water challenges. This international partnership is the latest milestone in a long list of active engagements between PUB and various U.S. organizations and leverages the synergies gained from the exchange of valuable technical knowledge and experiences,” said Mr Chew. “This not only ensures that PUB continues to be at the forefront of water quality management, but also boosts the Singapore-U.S. water industry relations and cements Singapore’s status as a global hydrohub.”
“The United States, through our Environmental Protection Agency, is proud to work with PUB to develop new and sustainable management for our water resources,” said Ambassador Adelman. “This partnership will promote safer drinking water and better water resource management. We’re excited to be a part of it.”
After the signing ceremony, Mr Chew hosted Ambassador Adelman on a tour of the interactive NEWater Visitor Centre, which showcases PUB’s water management and conservation strategies as well as the award-winning NEWater treatment technology.
Continuing a relationship of strong bilateral collaboration
PUB and EPA are members of the Global Water Research Coalition (GWRC), an international water research alliance. Since 2007, PUB and the EPA, through GWRC, have collaborated in research and development (R&D) projects relating to water quality and health. EPA was also represented on the technical programme committee of the 2009 Global Conference on Microbial Contaminants in Drinking Water, co-organised by the American Water Works Association and PUB in Singapore.
In addition to the MOU with EPA, PUB has many R&D collaborations with other U.S. organizations, such as the American Water Works Association and Sandia National Laboratories. The Singapore International Water Week, an international water event certified by the United States Department of Commerce, features the U.S. Pavilion (supported by the United States Commercial Service) and the Water Environment Federation Pavilion. It also continues to form the gateway for U.S. companies to access the many business opportunities in this region. U.S. solutions providers such as AECOM, Black & Veatch, CDM Smith, CH2M Hill, Hach, Trojan UV and Xylem are also Founding Sponsors of the event.
About PUB

Artificial intelligence versus natural intelligence – what are the differences and what do they have in common? How do machines “think,” how do they learn, and what distinguishes us humans from machines? Artificial intelligence in all its complexity is a central focus of the new Ars Electronica Center; after all, this technology is setting off a revolution that will affect our lives in ways that cannot be overestimated. Our goal with the exhibition “Understanding Artificial Intelligence” is to make our visitors “AI savvy” and give them all a basic idea of what artificial intelligence is, how it is already being applied, and what it can already do. The exhibition shows how neural networks are constructed and even offers visitors an opportunity to train them at a number of interactive stations.

Please join us for the launch of a new report, "The State of African Resilience: Understanding Dimensions of Vulnerability and Adaptation," which identifies major dimensions of resilience from the perspective of more than a dozen vulnerable communities across sub-Saharan Africa. The report is based on the research and analysis of the ResilientAfrica Network (RAN), a partnership that includes fifteen African universities that are engaging with local communities to understand how best to prevent, mitigate, and overcome the recurrent shocks and stresses to which they are most vulnerable.
How are communities in Uganda contending with the effects of climate variability and post-conflict recovery? How are communities in South Africa addressing the link between HIV/AIDS and poverty? How are urban populations in Ghana addressing the economic and public health challenges associated with rapid urbanization? Bringing together faculty, students, and community members, the RAN is developing interventions designed to increase resilience capacity at the community level and, more broadly, making its data publicly available to allow for development practitioners in the future to more easily identify the vulnerabilities and existing capacities of communities.
The RAN, funded by USAID's Higher Education Solutions Network, is led by Makerere University in Uganda and co-led by Tulane University's Disaster Resilience Leadership Academy, in partnership with Stanford University.

My understanding is that there is a large development under way and it will include what is to be known as Tully Park centered on the ruins of Tully Church and Graveyard. According to the developers Tully Park will be 22 acres in size, roughly the same as Dublin’s St. Stephen’s Green Park. Being the flagship park of Cherrywood, Tully Park will serve as a facility for the entire development, containing everyday walking and cycling routes and providing environmentally-positive connections. Lehaunstown Lane and the existing hedgerows and tree lines will divide the Park naturally into four zones:
A Heritage Zone with Tully Church & Graveyard, High Crosses and their environs, with paths to explore the monuments.
A Biodiversity Zone with lots of native wildflowers, shrubs, trees and informal paths to wander.
A Play Zone that includes a large play area for children, a skate park and an amphitheater area for open-air plays or performances.
A Passive Zone with lawns meadows and wooded areas make up the majority here, with winding paths and seating areas.

To understand why the freeway is cracking and breaking apart, engineers must head into the field in the middle of the night and take samples or the concrete.
For each crack, they're trying to figure out if it's deep and is generated by a fundamental problem with the ground or whether it's superficial and comes from too much traffic on top. Understanding this is key to fixing the freeway the right way, a way that will last for another 20 years.

They say children are like snowflakes, each one is unique. The one-size-fits-all parenting style, thus, seems passé. Comprehending children’s psychology is paramount for every parent, but not easy. And the fact that every child is different and special makes the process even more complex and perplexing. At times, things could misfire as well, leading to a lifelong emotional disconnect between the child and the parents.
Dr. Deepak Raheja, a well-known child psychologist in Delhi, rightly points out, “Understanding a child’s thinking pattern, traits and personality is crucial on the part of parents in order to nurture the kid into an emotionally-balanced and healthy adult.”
According to Dr. Deepak Raheja, the three primary contexts that shape a child’s psychology perspective towards life are:
Social: A child’s relationship and comfort level with parents, siblings, relatives, teachers, or friends.
Cultural: The traditions, culture, values or guidelines put into practise in the house or in the society that a child grows in.
Socioeconomic:The lifestyle, class, financial backing and social status of the child’s family.
Dr. Deepak Raheja lists down a few simple psychology tips for parents to ensure their children’s right emotional and mental growth.
Observe your children:The key to understanding a child is to take interest in his or her choices, expressions, actions, temperament, and so on. Do not judge your kids, or compare them with other children else you may mistakenly end up sowing the seeds of inferiority complex in them.
Give your children the time they deserve:Ensure to make time for your children while you juggle between home and work. Spending quality time together with your kids is paramount to actually discover their personality. For this, you could try talking, playing, colouring, shopping, watching TV, or cooking their favourite dish with them.
Your undivided attention will make your children feel safe:Plan activities with them in a way that it enables you to dedicate a good amount of your time exclusively to them.
Keep a check on the environment your children are growing in: Everything, right from a child’s brain development and cognitive skills to attitude and language is largely shaped by the atmosphere and company around him.
Be a good listener to your kids: The best way to do that is to initiate a conversation on a topic of your children’s interest and get them talking. Listen attentively,while also paying attention to all the non-verbal cues like their expressions, body language or expressions.
Ask them open-ended questions: The right kind of questions will encourage them to think and express elaborately rather than a mere ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Practise the same if the children ask you a question in return.
Understand your children’s emotional quotient:Consider your kids as adults and never take their emotions or feelings for granted. Valuing children’s emotions and their capacity to handle sentiments is important.
Stop assuming and start asking: Make it a habit of talking to your children about how they feel or want things around them. For instance, just because a child isn’t complaining wouldn’t mean he or she is happy.
Dr Deepak Raheja states that minor behavioural issues, such as stubbornness or rudeness is common in kids and can be worked upon with the above mentioned tips. However, if not handled on time in an appropriate way, the problems may escalate into something as serious as childhood psychological disorders. It might include:
Eating disorder
Learning disability
Anxiety disorder
Schizophrenia
Disruptive behaviour disorder
Asperger’s syndrome
Depression and bipolar disorder
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
“Poor judgement and lack of awareness about the psychology of children can lead parents to take poor decisions that can affect their children severely.” says Dr. Deepak Raheja.
He further advises parents to seek help from skilled child psychologists before the situation worsens. Speaking to a specialist is always better than making wild guesses about children’s personality. If you, as a parent, feel the need to learn more tips to contribute to the development of your child’s conscience in the right manner, then get in touch with Dr. Deepak Raheja today.

Child psychology is one of the many branches of psychology and one of the most frequently studied specialty areas. This particular branch focuses on the mind and behavior of children from prenatal development through adolescence.
What is child development in psychology?
A significant proportion of theories within this discipline focus upon development during childhood, as this is the period during an individual's lifespan when the most change occurs. Developmental psychologists study a wide range of theoretical areas, such as biological, social, emotion, and cognitive processes.
How can we communicate with children?
Let your kids know you're listening
When your children are talking about concerns, stop whatever you are doing and listen.
Express interest in what they are saying without being intrusive.
Listen to their point of view, even if it's difficult to hear.
Let them complete their point
before you respond.
The five strategies to raise moral, caring children, according to Making Caring Common:
Make caring for others a priority.
Provide opportunities for children to practice caring and gratitude.
Expand your child's circle of concern.
Be a strong moral role model and mentor.
Guide children in managing destructive feelings.
What if, instead of fixating on the end goal, our desire was rooted in the experience itself? In the journey, and every tantalizing and challenging experience that comes along with the magical, whimsical ride? This is in and of itself, the key element when it comes to understanding the energies that guide true Tantric play. To Know More Click at amandabiccum.com/beyond-sex-understanding-the-energies-th...!

Getting from Paddington to Victoria Station for the train to Gatwick in the morning tube crush is cheap, but a taxi is easier; no fighting the sweaty crowds or navigation required. Gatwick is harder to navigate if looking for the hire cars. For a while their location looked like a closely guarded secret.
GPS does a good job of getting out of the airport. But heading for East Sussex seemed to require creeping down single lane roads between high hedges in fear of tractors coming the other way; all very picturesque but terribly slow and frustrating.
This is where Dumb Woman's Lane enters the picture, literally. It's a real place and never a better name was given. Some of the fault rested with the navigator failing to switch the default from shortest route to fastest route. That would have helped.
Nevertheless the disembodied women in my phone still wanted to take peculiarly odd routes. For a time it was speculated that there must have been a shoe sale somewhere and she was in fear of missing out. Ignoring her advice and following the occassional sign, an uncommon thing in the British countryside, gave a clue. Would you believe that in the middle of nowhere there are still toll bridges? The toll might only be 40p. But that didn't matter because she still wanted to go shoe shopping.
The moral of this tale is to look deep into those settings least a toll turn into an annoying troll.
