Mind in the Syber Space (and Under the Hormone)
There was a rather sad news on the radio that a girl committed a suicide after bullied on SNS.
In reality, it was only a line of letters on a screen, still we take it as a message from somebody
and interpret it in a certain context —– some time too seriously.
(And in this case it even caused a girl to hang herself.)
[]
With Twitter accounts in my name (though, whether they are “mine” or not is arguable since
they are created by somebody else. :-)) I used to receive a lots of direct massages to my Email,
of which most of them were saying “Somebody spreading dreadful rumour about you ~> See
this” or “lol, I laughed so much of this picture of you ~> See this” and lure to get virus or
see AD —– (Though, I only guess, since I never ever clicked and open. I don’t know what’s there.
Then I set a filter “Twitter, Direct massage” automatically go to the bin.)
= The reason is that there is absolutely no possibility, somebody I don’t know can make any
serious rumour about me, or post a photo with my name on it (since, all of my ID is fake.)
Other reason is, if it was true, it must be a fun to other people = enjoy it yourself.
Make the world smiley place is a good things, why not ?
If anybody doing it on behalf of me, I’m very much thankful. 😀
[]
To deal with Syber Space, I prepared to the worst scenario, hence I don’t give real ID as
much as I can. As I got friends who are (were?) Anarchist, Hacker, (ex?) Terrorist, etc etc. and
know a bit of computer, I’ve seen a program which can generate all the combination of possible
Password and hack-in etc etc. = I don’t trust so-called Security at all.
So, if I got to do Net-shopping I use a bank account which got only just-enough balance left.
False ID to each registration prevents two information joint together.
(You know, First name + Post code can find “Who you are and the full address”. To add DOB can
access NHS data. From here, to hack-in to Banking data is just a matter of keyboard. etc etc.
—– And on top of those, such as Google is keeping all of our Net history in their side.
A hidden file of Picasa is keeping extract sample photos of naughty site you’ve visited.(not me) 🙂
—– search your HDD, [Photograph, Picasa, Information] or check ALL the files in your Picasa!
—- and those information has been given to the National Security. You remember? ! ! !)
We are completely naked in the Net. = So, remember to use snail-mail if you are dealing with
something dubious. Utilize a convenience of Internet, free of cost, having certain trade-off.
We human being is a social animal, and rather vulnerable existence, hence very susceptible to
the environment and the social-environmental condition. Therefore, we were genetically
programmed to pay attention to others, though, to take other’s words too serious is a trouble of
the person who read it. = It is a juggling work. To listen what other’s say might be important, but
in the same time, to detached from it, is also important. Other’s words could be crucial though,
just put a distance and think “Who the person bother to send such a message is ? And what’s the
intention ? Hasn’t this person got anything else to do ?” = such observation will shed a light to
the situation. —– And much more importantly this detached mind-set prevent us
to be deflected by the emotion.
[]
Still, to take an other’s message in certain context is depend on the mind of who read it.
In a philosophical view, the things in the world is not really existing but only in the mind,
let alone such as a message in the Net. = It is an indirect-indirect flimsy existence.
And physically they have no danger. Just delete it.
And the Buddhists may not believe the Self is even a real existence = if the Self is not there,
why afraid to be harmed or lost in a Syber bulling.
[]
Yet still, if you take matter in a mind too seriously, this article may show you the reality,
Mind is not a kind of Holy existence in a mysterious sanctuary. There may not even be a
so-called spirituality. They might be all in a delusion.

The two faces of the “love hormone”
By Brian Dodson
August 6, 2013
Often called the love hormone, oxytocin has shown the ability to enhance social bonding,
decrease anxiety and encourage an overall feeling of satisfaction with life. A new study out of
Northwestern University, however, finds that this ancient hormone has a dark side, and is capable
ofstrengthening unpleasant memories, fear, and anxiety. This Jeckyll and Hyde behavior results
from the fact that oxytocin has a general strengthening effect on social memories, without regard
to their polarity.
Although discovered in 1906, study of the emotion-altering effects of oxytocin are still in their infancy.
Experiments on humans as well as animal models strongly suggest that oxytocin is associated with
pair bonding, social recognition, ethnocentricity (the “in group” effect), increasing trust, decreasing fear,
and even improved wound healing. An interesting example of this class of effects can be found in a
2012 study which showed that oxytocin caused men in a monogamous relationship to maintain
four to six inches more space between themselves and an attractive woman in a crowd, while
having no effect on single men.
Other, less positive properties of oxytocin dosage have also begun to be reported.
For example, a study from the University of Haifa found that the emotions of envy and
Schadenfreude (pleasure in another’s misfortune) were increased by internasal administration of
oxytocin. Further research suggests people with borderline personality disorder, whose major
symptom is a tendency to withdraw from social interactions, exhibit less trust when treated with
oxytocin. This was particularly true in those who were sensitive to rejection. Clearly, oxytocin’s
effects on people’s emotions are not as simple as originally suggested.
This new study from Northwestern University demonstrates that oxytocin is associated with
emotional pain. In increasing the strength of social memories, it may be the reason that stressful
social situations (bullying, abuse, ridicule, rejection) can easily be brought to mind long after the event.
The intensity of such memories can be such that the memory feels almost like living through the
original event every time you think of it.
The Northwestern study, carried out by Dunbar Professor Jelena Radulovic’s group, found that
during a stressful social experience, oxytocin is released and activates a part of the brain that
intensifies the memory. Oxytocin also increases the susceptibility to feeling fearful and anxious during
stressful events going forward. It seems likely that oxytocin also intensifies positive social memories,
but this has not explicitly been examined as yet.
Professor Radulovic’s study is the first to link oxytocin to social stress and its ability to increase
anxiety and fear in response to future stress. The researchers also discovered the brain region
responsible for these effects – the lateral septum – and the pathway or route oxytocin uses in this
area to amplify fear and anxiety.
The findings surprised the researchers, who were expecting oxytocin to intensify positive emotions
in memory, based on its long association with love and social bonding.
“Oxytocin is usually considered a stress-reducing agent based on decades of research,” said
Yomayra Guzman, a doctoral student in Radulovic’s lab. “With this novel animal model, we showed
how it enhances fear rather than reducing it and where the molecular changes are occurring in our
central nervous system.”
Far from a simple “cuddle hormone,” oxytocin appears to have the same complex interaction with
human health and behavior as most other hormones. While a good deal of progress has been made,
there is still work to do when it comes to to unknotting the tangled ball of yarn that is oxytocin’s effects.

PS: If you are a hard-core Spiritualist, you may not happy with this kind of materialistic
view though, this view doesn’t conflict with Lord Buddha’s teachings at all. Far from it,
Lord Buddha’s fundamental teaching of the Karma = Cause and Result is nothing but a
Scientific Rationalism. Hence, when one dies, its mind, spirit goes with. No Atman exists.
Nutrition of the soil and the water with plenty sun, the plants grows.
This is nothing but the science. Hence, the Testosterone in a body drive a man to do the sex.
So, here the Physiologists talked about how Oxitocin causes in our body and gives the effects
to the mind. —— This is the Very mechanism of the Karma.

Royal Baby-Boy’s relation to Beyonce ! ?
There was a joky talking of the DJ in BBC Radio-1 mentioning that a researcher found
the Royal baby-boy (born 16:24 today) is distantly related to a singer Beyonce,
as 23rd Cousin twice removed. —– I found a likely source in this link —-
http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/celebrity/royal-baby-will-be-distantly-
related-to-beyonce-jayz-brad-and-angelina/story-fni0b8dv-1226676989090
I don’t have enough knowledge how so-called family-tree was traced, therefore I have no idea
what this “23rd Cousin twice removed” graphically mean.
[]
There was a hype many years ago about “ 6-Degree of Separation” —– How we are
connected each other where ever we are in this world.
Sound somewhat miraculous story though, (in fact I never read the story or seen a film,
so that I do have no idea what sort of theory or research behind)
have you ever thought about this matter by yourself ?
[]
It was a sort of the observations after “Facebook” that we may connected to somebody completely
out of our knowledge if we traced the indirect connection next by next.
Such as I have rather exotic friends of African, Arabic etc etc. and of course each of those friend has
their own friends or relatives in their society
= in effect, my connection spread to those countries as well.
[]
So, just think about, how many friend or relatives you got ? I guess it is pretty safe to
say 100, but if we include acquaintances and far relatives, it could be well over 1000.
—– Assuming, you are connected to 100 people, and all those people has their own 100,
but half of the people are overlapping = it’s mean, through 100 direct connection, it
spread to 100×50 = 5000 indirectly.
And those 5000 could connected to further 50 each, and so on.
So, just have a multiplication — 100x50x50x50x50x50 as of the 6-degree.
You will find the total number is well over the whole population in the world.
If all the world population was included in this link, no wonder, no-one can be alone.
It is a natural situation without resorting such FANCY theory. 😀
Anybody could be trace back to anybody in the world. —– That’s a theory though,
asking “Do you know Yoshi, or could you ask your friends ?” and extend this to whole
world population, how long would it takes time, let alone the cost of communication.
= utterly useless dreamy theory.
6-Degree mean whole world population = of course if you ask whole world,
at least 100 people knows Yoshi. But Who can do it ? 😀 😀
[]
If you DO think yourself, you will realize, that there is no such miraculous theory.
—– Any how, a scientist said to be traced back all the European population to the original
7 ancestors who came and settled to southern Europe. Since then, those 7 families might
have inter married, thence they are all related. So, there couldn’t be anything to surprise
an American singer has blood connection to English who was happen to be Royal.
(There was even a story, that English royal blood has some relation to Indian.)
Don’t be deflected by fanciful story and waste the time in useless gossip.
Don’t believe what others say, think yourself.
As Lord Buddha said. 🙂

Drawing with Invisible Force
[]
This is a wonderful watercolour drawing by Elene Caravela, which I found in her blog:
elenacaravela.wordpress.com (Quality sake, please see her Original Drawing there)
Elena has been one of the most prolific artist and the blogger who showed Watercolors, Oil paintings,
Photographs = very wide coverage of genre in very high quality work.
In the past year or so, I always impressed, even amazed by her drawings,
how her almost whimsical free blush strokes able to capture such vivid and also
realistic human figure. —– What is the secret of her creation ?
[]
To my comment and a notice that I want to re-blog —– she gave me her reply ;
[]
I’d be flattered Yoshi. I guess, I plan in my head a bit to make sure the figure will fit on the page
(mentally count out head size both vertically and horizontally, but really loosely).
Then see the movement on the spine and extremities. The force takes over.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t 🙂
[]
—– As she said, she might have given some consideration to the size of the
head etc. = here the thinking stops, then “the Force takes over”
To see her blush work, there is no hesitation, its quick movement some times creates even
the paint splash or drip. (in another piece) = blush and the hand moves perfectly spontaneous.
So, —— in such spontaneous blush stroke, look again the drawing above, = one blush stroke
perfectly depicted the body-line to the round bottom. — I guess, here not only the
direction of the blush movement, also it involved certain control of the pressure to the blush
and its twists, which determine the width of the line. (though, only a guess — I know the way how
to use curving chisels but not necessary the drawing blush 🙂 ) — all in the moment of one stroke!
This phenomenal control was done by the invisible Force, not possible by a human thinking.
[]
Spontaneity mean, there is no intentional control or thinking. —– This is nothing other than what
Lord Buddha taught = the state of Selfless / Mushin, therefore “The Force takes over”
= this Force is what Buddhists call the Dharma ! (or the Rules of the Universe)
The moment when the blush and the subject meet, the tension and the heat created
on that moment, drives the blush wild. = and creates dynamic impressive piece.
(consideration or useless thinking such as what others or market may think etc. spoil the tension
and the heat, hence makes the piece dull)
But Elena got perfect freedom not bothered by useless thinking, and I guess, when her blush was
driven by the Force, even she, herself may not able to control = blush got its own mind and move
almost automatically. That is how she creates such impressive work = It’s wild, as it was driven
by the Force of artistic nature. 🙂 That is what the art of Elena stands out.
[]
By the way, don’t get me wrong, I’m not implying Elena’s work is anything to do with Buddhism.
Far from it, the state of Selflessness is one of the inherent human psychological nature.
Buddhism applied it to more general aspects of the life. Not only the superb blush work, we can
achieve the superb life with it. = Quite similar to that Love is not because of the Christianity, but
they applied it to much deeper spiritual level.
Zen Buddhism pushed the potential of Selflessness to its extremities.
—– That is what the Zen Buddhism is.
[]
Elena has acquired this state of mind while drawing / practicing again and again,
probably tens of the thousands of times. Hence, the Buddhism using the same way of
the approach = practice it again and again until the hand started to move automatically.
= Hand moves automatic = without thinking = without self conscious = Selflessness.
In the Selflessness, invisible force takes over. This force is the Dharma. = Under
the control of the Dharma, phenomenal freedom and the result can be achieved.
This is how the Selflessness in the Zen Buddhism works.

Robot astronaut Kirobo
This is an article from Gizmag —– it looks cute and interesting story.

Hackspace
There is a gathering place and their work shop for the electronic hackers called
Hackspace in Hackney, London. —– Why Hackspace in Hackney may not have
any connection and I’m not interested in pun. 😀
And this evening, a group of enthusiast of Arduino (ready to use programmable
controller) demonstrate what he has done.
(A guy in the photo right was going to demonstrate how he programmed an
Arduino device to control his industrial robot)
(They got quite hefty collection of books which may cover all the question ! )
To deal with even the same electronics, there are hundred of different approaches.
Some are purely pursuit how the electronics work, others are to achieve the
purpose, by utilizing the electronics, electro-mechanics —– and to use it in
likely way to the most unlikely way etc etc. the possibilities are literally endless.
Other group, Dorkbot is a group using the electronics, electrics in rather strange way,
or they may say, more artistic way 😀 —– And I’m saying my sculptures are often
happen to move —– to make it, it often need to have a mechanism and its controller,
in most of the case it was done by the electro-mechanics. (It could be done with pure
clock-work as well though, it would be more time-consuming to make)
One of the largest group, this Hackspace are having 700 members and two floor
huge space in a building, of which basement is for storage and a GOOD workshop.
It seems, quite few heavy machineries were donated by the academic institute such as
Imperial College (when they got new one, old one has to go somewhere, anyway 🙂 )
And the place is 24 hours open for the members to use the space and work shop,
otherwise just come and chat ! —— for a monthly pay of £5 ~£15 depend on
how often you suppose to use. (Can you believe ! )
Their website is —– Hackspace (link)

Zen Sound of Fuke Shakuhach
There was a funny chain of connections. It was started a word “Kuwa-no-mi”
(桑の実 / Mulberry) in a post by a prolific blogger Tokyobling, in which he talked about it
with the photo of tree in Tokyo. —– I’ve put a comment “80% of Japanese may not
know what the Mulberry tree is, still 99% of them knows the Word
“Kuwa-no-mi” because of a song “Aka-tombo” ( 赤とんぼ/ Red-Dragonfly) which
was dubbed as the Second National Anthem of Japan.
[]
May be with my emotional attachment to this song which strikes Japanese psyche and
my associated memory, (—– Aka-tombo only appears on the end of summer which
meant us the end chapter of all the sweet and bitter memory in that summer
(and our youth) —– (you must remember, when you were young and small, how one
summer was long and eventful which was engraved deep into your subconsciousness =
You know, we only had 10 or so summers in the whole life to grow into an adulthood !)
And I’m very conscious about this Mulberry tree and the distinct taste of its berry.
So that, since when I accidentally found this tree in a town called Hitchin, I made my
annual ritual to visit there every year and eat the berry, until I found the another tree
in south London. (I talked about this tree in one of my post.)
[]
As an answer to my comment, Tokyobling sent me a link for a song-video of
“Aka-tombo” in Youtube.
—–> while listening a song, I found another Japanese old folk-song as well, which was
accompanied by a traditional Japanese bamboo wind-instrument called Shakuhach (尺八).
—–> as usual in Youtube, many related or similar kind are listed next by next.
—–> and I stumbled this viz, which plays “Fuke Shakuhachi” (普化尺八)
[]
Fuke-shu (普化宗) is in fact, one of the Zen sect unique to Japan, and
there is a temple called “Fuke-dera” (普化寺) in south of Kyoto.
(I hope it still exist though, many years ago, it was said only 9 monks left
but in this viz the monk was from Mukai-ji temple, there might be more monks in
another temple —– incidentally, why he is hiding his face is a symbol of No-Self )
(Composer Toru Takemitsu’s “November Steps” is the most famous adaptation of
this sound to Contemporary music. It’s worthwhile to listen ! )
—– This sect is using the sound of Shakuhach to teach what the
Dharma, and the Enlightenment is.
[]
But in practice, just to make a sound out of this instrument is hard enough because,
there is not much structure to make sound = one end of bamboo was just cut in angle
and having small notch to blow (that all 🙂 )= it is the matter of the way to blow in
certain angle. —– ( for me it wasn’t too difficult as I had an experience to blow sound
out of Peruvian Quena Flute which got somewhat similar structure) Still to play
good sound, let alone to master Kaza-iki etc. must takes 10,20 years of practice.
And THE result is —– just as it is = the sound you can hear but just the sounds,
nothing more than the sound neither Bamboo changed to the Gold. 😀
= still, if it is good, it’s good and in deed, it shows (or sounds) the Dharma,
—– or you may hear it, as a sound of the nature or its reflections.
[]
This is in deed, touches the hardest part of the Zen teachings and the deepest
human psyche which could interact or communicate with the Dharma.
(I wouldn’t imply, Dharma would talk to you though —– we might only feel, passively. 🙂 )
For this, please read those posts; [Harmony in Dharma] / [Aaaaaa~~~~~]
[]
Still some of you might say, So what ? —–
Nice tone which sound no apparent pattern or rhythm, hence it refuses
our mediocre comprehension, and its high tone makes our perception
sunk deep into the spiritual state (or totally open minded blank state).
[]
I met quite few professional Shakuhach players as most of Japanese traditional music
regularly needs to have them. Of cause, a player, able to play and able to make
beautiful sound doesn’t needed to be an enlightened Zen Buddhist, let alone Fuke monk.
And not necessary beautiful sound makes the people to get enlightenment.
[]
Yet still, to a person who actively seek an enlightenment, start from making
Shakuhach out of raw bamboo by himself, and try to achieve the best sound,
is the typical (endless, repeated) Zen practice.
—–> on the end, no wonder, the one could achieve and reaches to the state
of Ichijo = player, bamboo pipe, the air, the sound, all become one = as what
the Dharma is. Still, this is nothing but the state of blankness, Mushin
= the mind was sublimated into infinite Void.
[]
—– Because it is blank or Void, there isn’t much of use, hence it is a Dog shit.
And only there is a blank, what left in your life is, Just carry on, be who you are.
(expecting anything else is nothing but one’s Greed and Pretentious Ego and it is nothing but
a Delusion. Since, Void will not hold anything in it —– though, Mahayana
understanding is, because of it is Void, everything is in, since it would make no difference
at all = So, your life is your only life.)
Never mind, as long as the sound is good, it’s good.

Dog mourns the loss of Friend Beaver
This is a Youtube clip ” Vella (dog) mourns the loss of Beaves (beaver)”
I was told to watch. And I found myself I can add anything to say.
So, just watch and give a tear or two for them.
[]
When I was living with cats (mind you, with up to 9 of them) I even
bemused how they can read my mind.
And able to know when I was coming back, all together waiting
behind of front door. (looked like a gathering of tadpoles. 🙂 )
[]
The video clip seemed to be uploaded today, and it said to be
when the friend beaver, Beaves was suddenly found dead,
the mate Vella came into really deep mourn.

Tablet ZEN
Last night there was an essay read by a philosopher Julian Benjamin
on BBC Radio 3. In it, he talked about how our attitude had changed
during the rapid advancement of the technology.
And he typified it in the situation to use a gadget such as a Tablet
saying “Matter of Familiarity taken over the Understanding
or Comprehension” —– we may no longer able to understand
how those quantum theory is working behind the electronics and
its design neither need to be, but have to become familiar
with its touch-pad operation and each function.
[]
He found an interesting talking point though, his thought didn’t
go deep enough that in fact the situation has been always the
same even in the time of our ancestor, Hunter Gatherer’s day.
I don’t think even a good archer did know a theory of
Aerodynamics or effect of air resistance etc yet, as long as familiar
with the use of Bow and Arrow, he could have a good hunting.
= And that was what THE matter for them.
[]
You believe or not, this is exactly the point what
Lord Buddha taught, hence this is the Zen Buddhism.
Even though some of the people loves and attached to their gadget,
say a Tablet so much, and using it all day long for everything, still,
funny to say, virtually all of them are completely detached from
the questions of what this Tablet is and why such thing exists.
They accepted it almost granted as a part of their life.
—– Except the programmer working for App design, very few of us
know the code of its OS, even fewer people know it in the hardware
level, let alone the theory behind of all those micro electronics.
Instead, we just accept it, as it is and just concentrating practical
aspect and try maximise smooth operation and the efficiency,
in order to have own life fulfilled.
To be a master of Tablet, we needed to become a machine
to operate it. = even finger moves automatic,
without conscious !
[]
As I said, this is not a Tablet phenomenon, but derived
from our inherent processing system in the brain ! =
This is the System to maximise the efficiency of our life.
—– The way to extend and apply this Operating System
to all aspect of the Life, was what
Lord Buddha taught as the Buddhism.
—– (Bemused ? ! Just open your eyes and see it. 😀 )

Hacking Business
There was an interesting incident targeted to this Yoshizen Blog.
Soon after I’ve put my last post [Three times BUDDHA] somebody
hacked into my account and try to tamper my text.
As always 🙂 when I found a miss-spelling and try to edit my text,
WordPress’ Auto-save told me that there was an auto-saved
another version exists.
Looking into the script, I noticed that somebody had attempted
to delete a part of my text as you can see on the screen shot.
The target was a paragraph “to fabricate so many so-called Buddha
in Mahayana Buddhism”
Lord Buddha has used the words such as [Land Deity] [Moon Deity]
kind of name (may be for a convenience in the conversation) though,
never used such as a Sanskrit Deity, Brahman, because of the only
who, who rules whole universe is the Dharma, nothing else.
And the Dharma was not personified. = It is invisible yet spread
whole universe, down to the inside of ourselves.
That was what he believed and taught. — So, he got angry when a
Disciple couldn’t get correct understanding of the Dharma, saying
“It’s a disgrace to the Dharma” = he was quite serious.
Therefore, under the name of Buddhism, to creates another object
of worship other than the Dharma, especially importing its
figure from Hinduism is nothing but a contempt of
Lord Buddha and the Dharma.
[]
Hacking into well protected WordPress Blog is a serious business.
I wouldn’t assume it was done by a whim of silly individual = got
to be a professional, hired by the organization.
So, who was the one came through a gap of floor board like a
cockroach, instead to put a counter opinion through the front door ?
Is this a mind-set of the organisation or the sect ? — Blime !
[]
My blog is open for anybody to put a comment or two (though, any
spam which is other than a genuine comment has been completely
rejected —– except few exception, who got an interesting family
business to advertise. 🙂 ) hence, if anybody got different view,
to express its view as a comment is welcome, but don’t use
dirty hacking. —– It doesn’t work as the original was
composed on Word, re-load the same can be done in 10 min’. 🙂
And it’s counter productive to the hacker, because it would only create
another funny post like this, and that’s why my blog got 127,000 hits.
—– though, I know, quite few of hits were mislead by a search term
“xxx nude figure” kind, and end-up to see wire sculpture here. 😀

Last event on Stubnitz
While I’m putting this post, the Ship Stubnitz is leaving Canary Wharf and taking
a voyage to Normandy, France.
So, the last night, there was a kind of noisy farewell party on the ship.
(I went there with my Sound-reactive Flushing Pendant. = one of my disco regalia. 🙂 )
It was called Algorave. And the Info’ here was copied from their web site.
[ Featuring Cursor Miner making dance music in the frequency domain, Ardisson augmenting his tb303
and tr606 acid house with gamelan, Alo Allik twisting his audio/visual algomusic into beat-driven techno,
Alexandra Cárdenas live coding minimal techno from supercollider impulses, Martin Klang making
Euclidean acid with hybrid digital/analogue algorithms, Shelly and some Mandelbrots uniting
Birmingham and Karlsruhe with three-way live coded house, and Meta-eX leading us into the night by
live hacking an extended build up with code and controllers..
plus algorave residents Slub (with guest Elvi$ Ca$h) and Sick Lincoln. ]
Some of their music creation were quite experimental (hence, not necessary natural to
a body to dance, or even impossible to follow.) 😀 and some were quite aggressive, still
good to dance. (Loud drumming doesn’t necessary mean strong beat. The matter is the
syncopation and minute gap, which gives instantaneous tension to the body movement.)
Live means, lots of adjustments, conjuring, connecting / disconnecting cable,
moment to moment on the spot, etc. etc. —– looks messy business. 😀
Any how, it was a very enjoyable vibrant evening.
(May be I was the one, dancing most.) 😀
Good luck to Algorave and the ship Stubnitz.
