I have been settling into my eastern London neighborhood for about 3 weeks, with a new routine and determination. Since leaving my job in the financial sector, I now have more time devoted to my policy research and staying on track with my project. That being said, seeing how much reading and writing that I’ve accomplished in the last two weeks has given me a new determination to work on my studies–time flies very quickly after all — and there’s no time to procrastinate.

Welcome to Saturday's Ragbag blog, a collection of loosely related musings on that theme.

To begin with, some random things I have learned this week:
- The brain 'cleans' itself while we sleep (physically washes out plaques etc)... this from a BBC tv documentary about dementia. 6.5 hours minimum is the recommended dose.

IPL is drawing to a close -  Home advantage counts. With four spin options to call upon on a parched Eden Gardens pitch, Kolkata Knight Riders strangled Sunrisers Hyderabad to defend 171 and pull off a 22-run victory. The win helped them secure a playoff berth, while ending Mumbai Indians' journey in the tournament. Sunil Narine delivered his most incisive bowling spell of the tournament, with figures of 3 for 26 in four overs. His partner in crime was Kuldeep Yadav, the 21-year-old chinaman bowler...

I have now officially read all of Virginia Woolf’s novels, and unfortunately I finished my Woolf reading adventure on one that left me feeling utterly uninspired. The Years, her penultimate novel, is a move away from the impressionistic, stream of consciousness style of her most famous works such as To the Lighthouse and The Waves, and is much more traditional, though certainly not as conventional as The Voyage Out or Night and Day. Its prose is most similar to Between the Acts, though for me... Читать дальше...

My favorite, favorite passage.

The Word Became Flesh

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:1-5, ESV)

I find this passage even more moving in the King James Version

In the beginning was the Word... Читать дальше...

From The Daily Express:

Getting shit done in Thailand is nothing like back home. For example, don’t expect to walk into a bank to setup a bank account just because your friend did the day before.

Every once in a while, the hubby and I both realize – at the same time – that we really need a break. Yesterday was the day!  While many Turks have headed to the Mediterranean shores for the weekend, we headed north to Bolu for a day trip.  Destination – Yedigöller Milli Parklar (Seven Lakes National Park).

Last week I had the pleasure of having afternoon tea with a friend at The Pier in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire. This former nightclub was recently transformed into a restaurant and tea room so I can imagine it to become extremely busy in the summer months with the tourists!

The charts are from the YouGov Poll, and show the most recommended beer in each of the 50 states (out of 33 brands of beer to choose from). I just thought it was interesting.

The chart above was made from information in a recent Gallup Poll -- done between May 6th and 8th of a random national sample of 1,549 adults, with a margin of error of 3 points.
