7 ways to support your partner in drug recovery
When I first met Damo, he was quick to share his history of drug use and now recovery, which I appreciated and it didn't make any difference to the way I felt about him. We all have a past and mine is certainly nothing to gloat over, having battled binge drinking and nicotine addiction most of my adult life, not to mention a failed marriage and many other relationship problems. What I admire most about Damo is his honesty and his willingness to care for others in a genuine way.
As time has progressed in our relationship, I've only just begun to realise the daily demons he fights every day with his addiction. After a bit of research, I've realised it's not a choice to become addicted to a substance. Yeah sure, the initial choice to take the drug is a voluntary one but once you become 'addicted' it is out of your control. It's a disease. I want to help Damo as much as I can and be there to support him but need to know how much is enough. Ultimately, every choice he makes is his own but I'd like to share how I've learnt to support him through drug recovery and battling his addiction.
1. Be there
It's a busy life, being a single Mum and raising two young children and running a household but I will always listen to my partner when they want to share their struggles. It's hard for me to understand the mind of an addict but I have two good ears and will always listen to anything my partner wants to share, whatever time of the day or night it is. I may not have any advice but I will always be there for him.
2. Never underestimate what they're going through
No matter how many times you hear it and although you might not have any personal experience with that particular drug or drug use, never underestimate how serious their battle is. Don't tell them you can't understand what they're going through or that they should never have done it. This is no time to be a hero or make yourself seem better than they are. Addiction can happen to anyone at anytime. Having a compassionate attitude far outweighs pointing the finger at what they could've/should've done with their life.
3. Encourage new life experiences
Your partner may not have experienced some of the same life experiences you have. Instead they may have battled an addiction for many years, living in the same environment and surrounding themselves in that culture. There's no harm in suggesting a new place to visit, taking a walk, introducing your friends to him and sharing some of your passions, for example catching a live band, cooking, exercise, yoga or meditation classes. They can ultimately choose whether or not they want to partake in those new life experiences further or not. You never know. It might just be the thing that they've been looking for all their life.
4. Don't always try to avoid craving cues
It's hard these days when drug use is so commonly talked about in the daily news for example or your favourite movie. Even catching a live band, alcohol is served at most venues and it's hard to avoid it. I know we've watched movies that depict drug use and it has given my partner cravings. You can't censor everything that your partner sees and does. The craving will always be there. Allowing them to work through it and being there for them to talk it through is far more supportive then 'living in a bubble' and helping them try to avoid it.
5. Seek help yourself to understand
There is a lot of information out there on the internet and in books to help support your partner through drug recovery. Besides seeking counselling yourself on the subject, offer to attend support meetings or counselling sessions with your partner. You don't have to say or do anything. Just being there is sometimes all they need to know you care.
6. Always encourage your partner
There's a difference to telling your partner to go see a doctor and encouraging them. Finding out what resources are available online or in your immediate area like doctors, psychologists, wellness centres, drug recovery support groups and having that information available for your partner will allow them to make the decision themselves should they need to. Offering gentle encouragement works far better than pointing your finger, ranting and raving, telling them what they should be doing. It should always be their choice.
7. Love
Love your partner in good times and bad. Nobody is perfect. We've all made mistakes. Knowing that someone cares for you and genuinely loves you, warts and all, is sometimes all they need to get through a bad day. I always stand by the motto "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". I certainly wouldn't want somebody preaching to me about my problems but rather be there to catch me when I fall and lend a helping hand.
Thank you for sharing this with us. My family is going through a tough time at the moment with my brother and his addiction. You have shared some great advice and I'm so glad I took the time to read through.

How do you know when your country is becoming a banana republic? Let's call our imaginary banana republic "Costaguava".
1. Voter do not judge foreign leaders on the basis of whether they are mass murderers, but rather on how they get along with the leader of Costaguava:
2. When political parties lose an election in Costaguava, they try to change the rules to invalidate the will of the voters:
RALEIGH, N.C. — Amid a tense and dramatic backdrop of outrage and frustration, North Carolina's Republican-controlled legislature on Friday approved a sweeping package of restrictions on the power of the governor's office in advance of the swearing in of the Democratic governor-elect, Roy Cooper.
Protesters spent a second day chanting and disrupting debate, as some were arrested and led away from the state legislative building in plastic wrist restraints.
3. In Costaguava, it's difficult to discern the line between the leader's official duties, and the ruling family's far-flung business empire:
4. It's hard to draw the line between real news and fake news in Costaguava.
Part 2: Trust the process.
Lots of people totally miss the elephant in the room, debating minor issues like whether Russia hacked the election. Trump said the CIA's claim was ridiculous, but could offer no reason other than that, if true, it would make Trump's win look less impressive. The problem with Trump's claim has nothing at all to do with whether Trump is right or wrong, rather it reflects a deep flaw in his thinking process. Indeed Trump would be equally culpable for his remarks even if it turned out the CIA had been mistaken.
The problem here is that if you degenerate into a banana republic, decision-making will suffer, and eventually there will be a price to pay in terms of policy screw-ups. For a time, you might get lucky with economic policy, as when Pinochet stumbled into the Chicago Boys. But that's a weak reed to lean on. In the long run, well-governed countries will do well, and banana republics will do poorly. Chile graduated from banana republic status in 1989. Venezuela never did. The US seems to be falling back into that category today.
Earlier Saturday, he announced the nomination of South Carolina Rep. Mick Mulvaney to head the Office of Management and Budget, choosing a tea partyer and fiscal conservative with no experience assembling a government spending plan.
Rajat asked one of his characteristically probing questions, in the previous post:
As you've often said with monetary policy, it all depends on the yardstick or counterfactual. With your examples, because you've put the focus on interest rates, the reader naturally assumes that the counterfactual is no change in official interest rates. For example, in (1), surely the cut in the Fed Funds rate from 5.25% to 2% was less contractionary than if the Fed did not lower the rate? The money supply may not have risen in 2007-08, but wouldn't it have fallen if rates were kept at 5.25%, as the market devoured the short-term securities the Fed offered at that yield? I understand that the reduction in official rates was not expansionary in any meaningful sense (ie against a benchmark of ideal monetary policy under inflation or NGDP targeting).
This is probably correct, but I'd argue that it could also be misleading, resulting in too much reassurance that interest rates aren't that bad an indicator after all. Rajat's point is that if the Fed never even began cutting rates, then they would have had to reduce the money supply rather dramatically. So much so that NGDP would have done even worse than with cut from 5.25% to 2.0%. So does that mean the interest rate cut was expansionary after all? Not quite.
Consider the two following hypotheticals:
A. No change in the base from August 2007 to May 2008, rates fall from 5.25% to 2.0% (actual policy)
B. The base rises by 5%, while rates move from 5.25% in August 2007 to 5.25% in May 2008.
I would claim that policy B is almost certainly more expansionary. Rajat might reply that policy B was not an option. If the monetary base had risen by 5%, then interest rates would have declined even more rapidly than they actually did.
I don't quite agree, although for any given day I'd agree with that claim. Thus on any given day, a lower fed funds target requires a larger base than otherwise (at least before IOR was instituted in October 2008). But that true fact leads many Keynesians to jump to a seemingly similar, but unjustified conclusion. Many people assume that over a 9-month period a more expansionary monetary policy implies a faster decline in interest rates.
In fact, option B probably was available to the Fed, but only if they moved much more aggressively in the early part of this period and/or if they changed their policy target. Thus there are two possible ways the Fed might have achieved policy option B:
B1. Cut rates sharply enough in August 2007 to dramatically boost NGDP growth expectations, and then gradually raise rates enough over the next few months to get them back to 5.25% by May 2008. In that case, NGDP growth would have held up well, and yet the path of interest rates over that period would have ended up higher than otherwise.
B2. Adopt a policy of 5% NGDPLT, which would have radically changed expectations, and hence boosted the Wicksellian equilibrium rate.
Rajat might view option B2 as cheating, so let me make a case for option B1. I'd argue that the Fed did almost exactly what I describe in option B1 during 1967. Just to set the scene, the economy was slowing sharply during early 1967, and some people worried that we might enter a recession. The Fed moved quite aggressively, and their move was so successful that over a period of 10 months there was no rate cut at all.
3 month T-bill yields:
January 1967: 4.72%
June 1967: 3.54%
November 1967: 4.73%
So interest rates were basically unchanged over this period, and yet I'd argue that policy was far more expansionary than during August 2007 to May 2008, when rates fell sharply. The monetary base grew by over 5% in just 10 months, and this allowed the US to avoid recession.
(BTW, in retrospect, a mild recession would have been preferable in 1967, as a way of avoiding the Great Inflation. Instead, the US left the gold standard in April 1968, Bretton Woods blew up 3 years later, and the rest is history. But since policymakers didn't know all of this would occur, the mistake of the 1960s was sort of inevitable—just a question of when.)
In 1967, the expansionary policy early in the year boosted NGDP growth expectations enough so that they could raise rates back up later in the year, and still see robust NGDP growth. In 1968, interest rates rose still higher, but this was expansionary because the base was also rising briskly. So you have both rising base velocity (from higher rates) and a rising monetary base.
There's a grain of truth in Rajat's comment, but it's best thought of as applying to a given day, where a lower interest rate implies a faster growth in the money supply, and easier money. Over a more extended period of time things become much dicier. Those who focus on interest rates are more likely to be led astray, the longer the period being examined.
I understand how monetary policy would work in that imaginary Canada (at least, I think I do). Increasing the quantity of money (holding the interest rate paid on money constant) shifts the LM curve to the right/down. Increasing the rate of interest paid on holding money (holding the quantity of money constant) shifts the LM curve left/up. Done.
It's a crude model of an artificial economy. But it's a helluva lot better than a simple New Keynesian model where money (allegedly) does not exist and the central bank (somehow) sets "the" nominal interest rate (on what?).
I think this is right. But readers might want more information. Exactly what goes wrong if you ignore money, and just focus on interest rates? Let's create a simple model of NGDP determination, where i is the market interest rate and IOR is the rate paid on base money:
MB x V(i – IOR) = NGDP
In plain English, NGDP is precisely equal to the monetary base time base velocity, and base velocity depends on the difference between market interest rates and the rate of interest on reserves, among other things. To make things simple, I'm going to assume IOR equals zero, and use real world examples from the period where that was the case. Keep in mind that velocity also depends on other factors, such as technology, reserve requirements, etc., etc. The following graph shows that nominal interest rates (red) are positively correlated with base velocity (blue), but the correlation is far from perfect.
[After 2008, the opportunity cost of holding reserves (i – IOR) was slightly lower than shown on the graph, but not much different.]
Of course, Keynesians often argue that an increase in interest rates is contractionary. Why do they say this? If asked, they'd probably defend the assertion as follows:
"When I say higher interest rates are contractionary, I mean higher rates that are caused by the Fed. And that requires either a cut in the monetary base, or an increase in IOR. In either case the direct effect of the monetary action on the base or IOR is more contractionary than the indirect effect of higher market rates on velocity is expansionary."
And that's true, but there's still a problem here. When looking at real world data, they often focus on the interest rate and then ignore what's going on with the money supply—and that gets them into trouble. Here are three examples of "bad Keynesian analysis":
1. Keynesians tended to assume that the Fed was easing policy between August 2007 and May 2008, because they cut interest rates from 5.25% to 2%. But we've already seen that a cut in interest rates is contractionary, ceteris paribus. To claim it's expansionary, they'd have to show that it was accompanied by an increase in the monetary base. But it was not—the base did not increase—hence the action was contractionary. That's a really serious mistake.
2. Between October 1929 and October 1930, the Fed reduced short-term rates from 6.0% to 2.5%. Keynesians (or their equivalent back then) assumed monetary policy was expansionary. But in fact the reduction in interest rates was contractionary. Even worse, the monetary base also declined, by 7.2%. NGDP decline even more sharply, as it was pushed lower by both declining MB and falling interest rates. That's a really serious mistake.
3. During the 1972-81 period, the monetary base growth rate soared much higher than usual. This caused higher inflation and higher nominal interest rates, which caused base velocity to also rise, as you can see on the graph above. Keynesians wrongly assumed that higher interest rates were a tight money policy, particularly during 1979-81. But in fact it was easy money, with NGDP growth peaking at 19.2% in a six-month period during late 1980 and early 1981. That was a really serious error.
To summarize, looking at monetary policy in terms of interest rates isn't just wrong, it's a serious error that has caused great damage to our economy. We need to stop talking about the stance of policy in terms of interest rates, and instead focus on M*V expectations, i.e. nominal GDP growth expectations. Only then can we avoid the sorts of policy errors that created the Great Depression, the Great Inflation and the Great Recession.
PS. Of course Neo-Fisherians make the opposite mistake, forgetting that a rise in interest rates is often accompanied by a fall in the money supply, and hence one cannot assume that higher interest rates are easier money. Both Keynesians and Neo-Fisherians tend to "reason from a price change", ignoring the thing that caused the price change. The only difference is that they implicitly make the opposite assumption about what's going on in the background with the money supply. Although the Neo-Fisherian model is widely viewed as less prestigious than the Keynesian model, it's actually a less egregious example of reasoning from a price change, as higher market interest rates really are expansionary, ceteris paribus.
PPS. Monetary policy is central bank actions that impact the supply and demand for base money. In the past they impacted the supply through OMOs and discount loans, and the demand through reserve requirements. Since 2008 they also impact demand through changes in IOR. Thus they have 4 basic policy tools, two for base supply and two for base demand.
PPPS. Today interest rates and IOR often move almost one for one, so the analysis is less clear. Another complication is that IOR is paid on reserves, but not currency. Higher rates in 2017 might be expected to boost currency velocity, but not reserve velocity. And of course we don't know what will happen to the size of the base in 2017.
President-elect Donald Trump's administration is planning to nominate political commentator and economic analyst Larry Kudlow to chair the Council of Economic Advisers.
Stephen Moore, a conservative economist who advised Trump's presidential campaign, said at a luncheon in Michigan that Trump was set to choose Kudlow to be next chair of the council, a source who was in attendance told Business Insider.
In a follow-up conversation with Business Insider, Moore clarified that Kudlow is the leading candidate for the job but was not selected yet. Moore also said the selection would come in "the next week or so."
"He's a fantastic pick for the role, a great pick," Moore told Business Insider.
Kudos to Donald Trump for reaching out to someone who's been willing to criticize Trump on occasion:
It will be interesting to see how influential Larry Kudlow will be. Normally I might prefer a traditional academic in the Mankiw/Hubbard vein, but in this case I think Kudlow is a very good pick. I see a looming fight between populism and supply-side economics, and Kudlow will ably defend the supply-side view. Kudlow will speak Trump's language more effectively than a pure academic would. (Academics don't like Trump, and I'm pretty sure the feeling is mutual.)
I view myself as a moderate supply-sider, sort of like Miles Kimball. Even though I think some supply-siders are a bit too optimistic about the growth impact of tax cuts, at least Kudlow will be fighting for the right causes.
I know what you are all thinking; who will Kudlow recommend as Yellen's replacement? It just so happens that Kudlow mentioned 5 names a few years back:
Kevin Warsh, John Taylor, Steve Forbes, Paul Ryan and Richard Fisher.
I'd guess that Warsh and Taylor are the more likely choices.
PS. Actually Kudlow mentioned 6 names, but the last person has spent the past 12 months using his blog to relentlessly attack Trump in a total unhinged manner. At this point he has more chance of becoming the next Pope than the next Fed chair.
Amazing what you can do with Photoshop.
PPS. Morgan Warstler mentioned that Kudlow is a fan of NGDPLT, and also Morgan's proposed replacement of the welfare system
Just a couple of months ago, pundits were writing off the Bank of Japan, and particularly Kuroda's policy of 2% inflation. Now things are looking much more positive for the BOJ. Since plunging on the night of the Trump election, the Japanese stock market has taken off like a rocket.
It's not hard to understand why—the yen has been in almost free fall, down from about 100 to the dollar to 118 today. To put that into perspective, back in April 1995, the yen was at 84 to the dollar. As recently as September 2012, right before Abenomics was announced, it was at 78 to the dollar.
But those numbers don't even come close to showing what's going on with the yen. What really matters is the real exchange rate. And since 1995, Japan has had an inflation rate that ran almost 2% a year lower than in the US. The US CPI is up by more than 57% since 1995, while the Japanese CPI is barely changed. Thus the real exchange rate for the yen has gone from 84 in 1995 to something like 180 or 185 today. At these levels, the exchange rate is a gold mine for Japanese exporters, which explains why the Japanese stock market is doing so well.
The big puzzle here is why PPP is failing so abysmally in terms of explaining the dollar/yen exchange rate. Generally when a country has persistently lower inflation than the US, its exchange rate tends to appreciate of time, and vice versa. Thus the Swiss have low inflation and the Swiss franc trends upwards. The Brazilians have high inflation and the Brazilian real trends downwards. And over the very long run that's true of Japan as well. I recall when the yen was 350 to the dollar.
But since 1995 the yen has depreciated dramatically, even while Japan has had inflation rates that are roughly two percent less than the US. Of course during this period Japan has had much lower nominal interest rates than the US (at least the Fisher effect works!), and the yen has generally been expected to appreciate (due to the interest parity condition). Thus we've had a 21-year period where investors expected steady appreciation in the yen, and (on average) they got the exact opposite.
Going forward, one of two things will happen. Either the BOJ will persist with its inflation policies, or it will not. If it does persist, eventually investors will have to throw in the towel and admit that they were wrong about Kuroda. The yen will no longer be expected to appreciate, and the level of Japanese interest rates will be much closer to US rates.
Or, the BOJ will abandon it goal of 2% inflation, and the yen will start appreciating, just as investors have been predicting for 21 years. In that case, interest rates in Japan may stay close to zero.
It's entirely up to the BOJ which road they prefer to take. A few months ago, many people thought they had given up. Today that's much less clear. The higher global interest rates following Trump's election, combined with the BOJ policy of pegging the 10-year bond yield at zero, has caused the yen to plunge in value. PPP is elastic, but not infinitely elastic. The yen can't stay here indefinitely without generating serious inflation. Otherwise at some point a Lexus 430 would be as cheap as a candy bar.
My instincts tell me that this weird discrepancy between market predictions and actual outcomes can't go on much longer. Within the next decade it will be clear whether Japan is seriously committed to a 2% inflation target. At that point, either Japanese interest rates will rise sharply (success), or the yen will appreciate sharply (failure).
PS. At Econlog, I have a post on Nick Rowe's reply to John Cochrane, which might be seen as loosely relating to this post

America The Beautiful Pass: Is A National Parks Pass Worth It?
Are you trying to decide if it is worth buying an America the Beautiful Annual National Parks Pass for your next trip in the US? Well, we're going to explain everything you need to know about the pass and if it is a cost effective solution for your travel plans.
Personally, we buy a new America the Beautiful Pass every year. But that's because we are frequent visitors to the best USA national parks and we know for certain we will get our money's worth.
The two most important factors to consider are which national parks and how many national parks you plan to visit within the next year.
Entry prices to US national parks vary and there can be confusing criteria at national monuments or memorials. It is important to know where you will be charged the big bucks and where you can enter for free, even without the pass.
Here's how we will help you decide if an America the Beautiful Pass is the perfect fit for your plans:
What is included with the pass
Important 2022 updates
How much the pass costs
How much each park costs individually
Is the pass worth the money
How you can buy your pass
Let's find out if buying an America the Beautiful National Parks Pass is worth the money for you Does The America The Beautiful National Parks Pass Include?
So what exactly is included with the America the Beautiful Annual National Parks Pass? Does the pass cover all National Parks? Will I still need to pay to enter State Parks? What about National Monuments, Memorials and Native American attractions?
They are all excellent questions.
In a nutshell, here's what the America the Beautiful Annual National Parks Pass does and does not include:
Included – America the Beautiful is a pass allowing entrance to all National Parks, National Historic Parks, National Monuments, National Seashores and National Battlefields. There are over 2000 federal recreation sites that are included with this pass.
Not included – The pass does not include entry to State Parks or Native American attractions and you will be charged on an individual basis to enter each respective area. These costs quickly add up on a long road trip.
Important Note: National Monuments such as Devils Tower in Wyoming are included with America the Beautiful Pass because they have an entry fee. However, where entry to the monument is free but parking is charged, such as Mount Rushmore, this pass will not include the parking fee. It is important to understand the distinction.
US National Parks
The America the Beautiful Pass includes all 63 National Parks in the NPS network. Each of the 63 natural landscapes brings something unique to the table and those jaw-dropping vistas never get old.
Could there be more added to the 63 parks in future?
Yes, absolutely. Entry to any newly established national parks will be automatically included with the America the Beautiful Pass.
The last US national park to be established was New River Gorge in West Virginia on December 27th 2020. But we're sure there will be more national parks in the coming years.
The problem is that if every single area of outstanding natural beauty in America was designated as a National Park, there would be hundreds of national parks in the United States.
We will list all 63 US national parks, along with some of the most popular battlefields, historical parks, seashores, monuments and recreational areas further below with individual entry fees.

Important 2022 Updates For National Park Reservations
In response to the overcrowding issue due to increased interest from the covid pandemic, there have been multiple reservation changes, sometimes known as pilot permit programs, for US National Parks over the past few years.
These reservation programs are ongoing and can change very quickly. We recommend you keep a close eye on the park you plan to visit.
Below are the latest reservation requirements for 2022, but always check the NPS website for further updates.
Arches – Visitors between April 3rd and October 22nd, 2022 will require a timed entry ticket.
Carlsbad Caverns – Reservations are required to enter the Cave at Carlsbad Cavern, even if doing a self guided tour. A reservations must be made online or by calling 877-444-6777. No reservations can be made at the park.
Glacier – Portions of this park will be using a ticketed system May 27th to September 11th, 2022. One ticket per vehicle is required for Going-to-the-Sun Road including all points between the West Glacier, Camas, and St. Mary entrances. Another ticket will be required for the North Fork area via the Polebridge Entrance Station
Rocky Mountain – Between May 27th and October 10th, 2022, one of two types of entry reservations are now required to enter the park. One reservation is for Bear Lake Road Corridor and the other is for the rest of Rocky Mountain National Park, excluding the Bear Lake Road Corridor.
Zion National Park – On and after April 1st, 2022, a permit is required to hike the notorious Angel's Landing.

How Much Does An America The Beautiful National Parks Pass Cost?
An America the Beautiful Annual National Parks Pass costs $80. The pass is not a per person purchase, it is a per vehicle purchase, which means an entire family or couple can visit as many national parks as desired in one full year for a one off cost of just 80 dollars.
The pass must be signed on the back by at least one person, but there are two spaces for signatures and those two people do not have to be related or even traveling together. That means two families or two groups of friends can utilize the benefits of an America the Beautiful Pass.
Top tip: It is important to note that you always have to show I.D. with the park pass to gain entrance.
Important Price Information:Senior citizens (62+) can pick up an America the Beautiful Annual National Parks Pass for just US$ 20 (US$ 80 for a lifetime pass). Plus, the pass is completely free for Disabled or Military visitors.

How Much Do US National Parks Cost Without An America The Beautiful Annual National Parks Pass?
Entry fees to the US national parks are unofficially determined by popularity and range from free to $35 per vehicle and this price typically includes 7 consecutive days of visitation. For instance Zion costs more to enter than nearby Capitol Reef in Utah because it is far more popular.
However, while most US National Parks charge entry fees per vehicle, there are a few exceptions where entry is charged per person. We will cover every per vehicle and per person entry fee in this next section.
How much each national park costs on an individual basis is the most important part of this article for you to consider.
Use the prices below to calculate your savings or extra spending against the $80 cost of an America the Beautiful Pass vs how much you would spend on individual parks based on your travel plans for the next 365 days.
North Carolina/Tennessee – Great Smoky Mountains (however, parking tag costs will be implemented in 2023)
Ohio – Cuyahoga Valley
South Carolina – Congaree
South Dakota – Wind Cave (Tour Costs)
US Virgin Islands – Virgin Islands
Washington – North Cascades
West Virginia – New River Gorge
You can enter any of the national parks above for free with or without buying an America the Beautiful Pass. That means if you only intend on visiting a selection of the parks above, you do not need to spend $80 buying a pass.
$35 National Park Entry Fee:
The nine national parks listed above charge the maximum of 35 dollars per vehicle to enter for seven consecutive days. These stunning natural landscapes typically receive the highest visitation numbers per year within the NPS network.
National Parks With Per Person Costs:
Alaska – Denali (US$ 15)
Florida – Dry Tortugas (US$ 15)
Michigan – Isle Royale (US$ 7)
Missouri – Gateway Arch (US$ 3)
New Mexico – Carlsbad Caverns (US$ 15)
Texas – Guadalupe Mountains (US$ 10)
The six national parks listed above charge per person entry fees, which can add up to $60 for a family of four in certain parks.

What Else Is Included On The America The Beautiful National Parks Pass?
The fun doesn't stop with National Parks! An America the Beautiful Annual National Parks pass is also known as an Interagency Pass.
This interagency pass includes entry to other federal recreation sites in participating agencies such as the Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, US Fish and Wildlife Service, US Forest Service, and US Army Corps of Engineers.
Below is a list containing some of the most popular recreation sites across the United States with individual entrance prices included.
In total we would have blown through $380 to enter those National Parks individually. Instead, we paid $80. Therefore our savings amounted to a whopping $300.
It is important to remember our $300 savings from year one doesn't even include any National Monuments or other National Recreational Sites.

Is An America The Beautiful Pass Worth The Money For You?
Yes, an America the Beautiful National Parks Annual Pass is worth buying if you plan to visit at least four or five of the major US national parks within the next year.
However, we included our example of savings above on purpose to demonstrate how much can be saved on a long road trip (here's our US road trip packing essentials list). But not everyone is taking a 3 month road trip across the western United States.
Your America the Beautiful National Parks Pass can become one of the best bargains you will pick up this year, but you have to visit enough parks with entrance fees to make your money back and then some.
Remember, it only takes a handful of the more expensive national parks to rack up the $80 cost of the pass and it is valid for one full year from the date of purchase.
Here's one more thing to consider: Hopefully buying an America the Beautiful Pass will spur you on to visit more US national parks than you might have initially considered!

How Do You Buy An America The Beautiful National Parks Annual Pass?
You can purchase your America the Beautiful Pass directly from the US National Park service, REI or alternatively, you can pick one up in person at almost all of the 2,000+ federal recreation sites included with the pass

10 Information Transmission
On a macro level, whether or not a hyperlink is operational or not is dependent upon the obtained signal-to-noise ratio degree, whether or not or not it is too low for speaking at an acceptable BER. When digital data is transformed into a bandpass analog sign, it is referred to as digital-to-analog conversion. When low-move analog sign is converted into bandpass analog signal, it is called analog-to-analog conversion.
Simplex, Half Duplex, Full
Classification Of Transmission Media:
This worth is utilized by the communication units to find whether or not the road is idle or free. In synchronous transmission, a particular communication gadget generally known as 'synchronized clock' is required to schedule the transmission of information. This particular communication gadget or tools is expensive. In half-duplex mode, knowledge may be transmitted in both instructions but solely in a single course at a time. It is like a one-lane bridge the place two-method traffic must give means in order to cross the opposite. In computer system, the keyboard, monitor and printer are examples of simplex devices.
The capability of the channel, however have to be divided between the 2 directions. FSO communications can supply options to the final-mile problem, affording versatile and rapid connectivity. Atmospheric results limiting the in depth implementation of FSO are briefly addressed earlier with a special emphasis on fog, which affects most the optical propagation due to large loss of the signal. There are some alternate options for the final-mile downside.
Disadvantage Of Simplex Mode:
The keyboard can solely be used to enter knowledge into pc, while monitor and printer can only accept (display/print) output. In simplex mode, data is transmitted in only one course. A terminal can only send information and can't receive it or it could possibly solely receive data however can not send information. Full-duplex mode is used when communication in both direction is required all the time.

1103 St. Lucia 2 Bed 2 Bath
Gulf Front Property with 1100 feet of Private BeachGulf Front Property with 1100 feet of Private Beach
Beautiful condo, right on the beach!
We arrived in Destin for a weekend stay, but ended up wishing we could have stayed a week. This condo was amazing and the beds were comfortable. The decor was lovely, and we appreciated the little touches, such as the beach chairs and umbrellas. The pictures are a true representation of the condo, except for one major omission... They have redone the master bathroom shower and let me tell you, it was the best shower I've ever been in! Five shower heads!! We enjoyed the view very much and the sounds of the water were heavenly. Food is within walking distance, and the best Wal-Mart ever is right across the street. Lots of pools to choose from, the huge pool in front of the beach is beautiful, but St. Lucia has its own pool and hot tub as well. And the beach...soft, white sand with clear, shallow water. And great fishing right off the beach; we saw a few people get catches while sitting on the beach.
Silver Shells is a great complex, security was top-notch. I can't wait to come back for a longer stay. We can't imagine staying anywhere else.
St. Lucia Gem
I was recently in Destin, Florida attending my nephew's wedding. It was so refreshing and relaxing staying at St. Lucia--The beach is right there at the resort, there are pools and other amenities. This property is AMAZING! The condo is very clean, decorated nicely, extremely nice bathrooms, laundry area in the condo itself, roomy accommodations with just about everything you could need. This particular condo is on the 11th floor and the view is breathtaking. The entire rental process was easy as well. The only negative (and this is a nit) is that the checkout time is at 10AM--wish we could have stayed longer

Dear Robyne,
It will be important to get the diabetes regulated before anyone would want to do surgery. Dia-IonX might help you in that goal. You might also see an ophthalmologist to have the eyes evaluated. I have used a product called Ocluvet to help prevent or minimize cataract formation. Your doctors may know if you have a similar product in your area. Let us know how you do.

Criminal complaint: CNU student confessed to campus fires
By:
Jessica Larche
Posted at 6:29 PM, Apr 18, 2013
and last updated2013-04-18 18:29:45-04
According to the criminal complaint in the arrest warrant for Davant Marshall, the 20-year-old junior at CNU confessed to setting five fires in the bathrooms of four different buildings on campus Tuesday.
The criminal complaint said Marshall intentionally set fire to trash cans or paper towel dispensers in the bathrooms.
Five fires were reported between noon and 5 p.m. Tuesday. The first fire happened in the men's bathroom in the David Student Union building. Two hours later, another bathroom fire was reported at the Freeman Center. Two hours after that, a fire was reported at McMurran Hall. The last two fires were reported at Forbes Hall. No one was hurt.
Marshall is charged with five counts of arson. He is being held in the Newport News jail without bond and has been suspended from the university. According to his bail determination sheet, he worked as a dock forehand at the Newport News Boys and Girls Club Thrift Store.
Authorities have not released a motive.

You can find many different modern miracles currently offered that offer a lot of hype without genuinely delivering on any real substance. When I was turning into an adult in the 1970's, my mother stood a closet which had been loaded with an array of devices she had bought to aid her battle middle age spread. She had bikes, and belts, and creams, and lotions, and many types of medieval searching devices that had promised to get another fantastic remedy for shedding weight, but none really ever worked the direction they promised, and all inevitably wound up taking their area of shame inside closet despite the fact that utilizing other discarded relics.

Guest column: Assist your local government
By Carter Infinger
Many people know that volunteering is a great way to give back to their local communities and improve the areas in which they live. However, not many know that they can volunteer their time and abilities by serving on boards that help to deliver programs and services – Bryan County included.
Volunteers often benefit from their own efforts as much as governments do. Lending a hand by serving on a local government board or committee can result in new friendships and networking connections, plus it lets people put their talents and abilities to work as they develop new skills. Overall, volunteering gives citizens a sense of accomplishment for contributing to their government.
In Bryan County, volunteers can serve in a variety of capacities, such as on commissions, committees, and advisory boards, where they can provide valuable citizen insight as to how services are delivered. Those volunteers are needed on the Board of Health, the Development Authority Board, the Library Board, the Public Facilities Commission, the Coastal Regional Commission, the Aging Council, the Board of Adjustments, and several others.
It is helpful if volunteers are familiar with the subject matter covered by the board or commission they want to apply to. This is especially the case with things like planning and zoning or health. However, there are still other more generalized opportunities that exist for those with a broad spectrum of interests.
I highly encourage our residents to check into the government volunteer opportunities available in Bryan County. It's easy to get involved and rewarding to know that what you're doing makes a difference. It's easy to offer critiques after the fact, but how many are actually willing to get involved to implement change or learn more about how and why things are done?
If you'd like to volunteer, please visit to see which volunteer board positions are available and submit your application. I hope to be working alongside some of you real soon.

Aloha. Hello.
Welcome to my writing haven - I'm so glad you stopped by! This is place I post publicly the Scripture-based-truths I've been chewing on privately. When I do, you can bet your biscuits that it's likely no longer morning and I'm still a pajama-clad bed-head with an empty coffee mug somewhere close by.
I am the wife to an overly handsome man living on a tiny island in the middle of the Pacific. I'm also a creative entreprenuer, and a scripture-digger having a passionate love affair with the Word of God. The words published here are excerpts from my journals.

Called to belong to the Community of the Triune God
It is no mistake to say that the love of God and the wrath of God amount to the same thing, described from different points of view. Both constitute an emphatic "No!" to that which endangers His creation. God's evil-eradicating, death-destroying wrath is indispensable to the well-being of the universe. It is not a counterpoint to His love but a vital expression of it.
Croatian theologian Miroslav Volf comments: "Though I used to complain about the indecency of the idea of God's wrath, I came to think that I would have to rebel against a God who wasn't wrathful at the sight of the world's evil. God isn't wrathful in spite of being love. God is wrathful because God is love."
"To be truly good one has to be outraged by evil and implacably hostile to injustice."
–Rebecca M. Pippert
The wrath of God is His firm opposition to all that is crooked, broken, oppressive, unjust, and evil. He loves people too much to allow them to be destroyed by sin. His deep hatred of sin is a reflection of the greatness of His love. He will go to any length, pay any price, and make any sacrifice to free people from this toxic poison of the soul.
This is the unmistakable message of the cross. The horrific death of Christ at Calvary reveals the intensity of God's purpose to annihilate sin and rescue sinners. The Biblical record says that Jesus is "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world" (Jn. 1:29).
In his article "Prayer: Rebellion against the Status Quo," David Wells contends that we have sadly lost our anger, but fortunately God has not lost His. "The wrath of God is His opposition to what is wrong … [it] seeks the triumph of truth and the banishment of Evil." It is God declaring: "No, not in my universe!"
It would be appalling if the Divine Lord flew into a rage without warning. But it would be equally appalling if He never got angry. The evil of this world is damnable, sickening, horrendous. Someone needs to put a stop to it.
Someone will.
The wrath of God turns out to be very good news. This love-inspired hostility to all things hateful and harmful gives hope to a world afflicted by the curse of sin.
"It is not evil that will have the last word, but good; not sorrow, but joy; not hate, but love."
–R. J. Campbell
One wants to have love alone, not seeing that by denying God's holiness and wrath, God's love is deprived of its true depth and meaning. Is it not so even in human experience?
The man who cannot become angry, cannot truly love.
The man who passes over treachery, infidelity, breach of confidence as if it were nothing, cannot be a true friend and cannot be faithful himself. It is here that a decision of the first order takes place: he who refuses to hear of God's wrath, judgment and condemnation, will never understand Jesus Christ. The living God is the God whose love is united with holiness.
This paradox of holiness and mercy is . . . the essence of the biblical doctrine of God.
Jesus once declared that God is "good to the ungrateful and the wicked" (St. Luke 6:35), and I remember preaching a sermon on this text to a horrified and even astonished congregation who simply refused to believe (so I gathered afterwards) in this astounding liberality of God. That God should be in a state of constant fury with the wicked seemed to them only right and proper, but that God should be kind towards those who were defying or disobeying His laws seemed to them a monstrous injustice. Yet I was but quoting the Son of God Himself . . .
We do not need to explain or modify His unremitting love towards mankind.

AJAX :: Run Javascript Control Inside Tabcontainer?
Apr 29, 2010while creating cascadded dropdown inside the tab container.if i create two these control separately in a page then its work but whenever i plced the cascadded combo inside the tab container it is not worked have a Usercontrol and I have Gridview in it. Name of my control is Search.ascx.Now I have a Page Home.aspx where I have Placed this usercontrol in One Tab of TabContainer of Ajaxtoolkit. Now when I click on Edit Link from GridView I want to activate another tab and I can do that in .cs file by registering Event.
I am getting an error while calling a javascript from a dropdownlist which is placed inside a modal pop-up panel. if i am ebeding a small script like onchange="javascript:alert('hello');", it works fine. But if i m using <script> </script> for embeding a javascript its showing 'object doesn't support this property' error. when i debugged it the compiler does not get into the javascript function.
At present we are using <ajax:TabContainer> to load tabs. I have 5 user controls inside <ajax:TabPanel>.
The problem is that all the data on these 5 pages gets loaded at once and increases the loading time as well as it is very hard to debug. Can we do lazy loading uisng TabContainer control? so that only the data of the current tab is loaded and when we click on the other tab then that's control data gets loaded

Are you trying to figure out how you can increase your heart's health? The answer is simple: "By simply leading a healthier life", according to Nieca Goldberg, MD, medical director of New York University's Women's Heart Program and author of Dr. Nieca Goldberg's Complete Guide to Women's Health. Just by making small changes in your everydayFebruary is American Heart Month, a time to focus on raising awareness about heart disease. Despite advances in medicine, heart disease is still the number one killer of men and women in America. Doctors say that prevention is the best solution to combating heart disease. In honor of American Heart Month, Medicomp has compiled important […]
If you noticed that the color red was prevalent February 6th, it wasn't because Valentine's Day was near. The American Heart Association launched the Go Red for Women campaign in 2003 to help raise awareness and raise money to combat this issue. Now, on the first Friday of February, women wear red dresses as a […]
When you think about the month of February, the first thing that probably comes to mind is Valentine's Day. In addition to sharing your love with that special someone in your life, February is American Heart month, making it the perfect time to show your own heart some love as well.
Advances in technology and our understanding of heart health have helped people today live longer than ever before. For example, cardiac monitors came with an overnight stay in the hospital because the heart monitors couldn't leave the facility. Nowadays, Holter monitors are pocket size and can be used to monitor a patient's heart while they […]
The American Heart Association has worked tirelessly for decades to educate the public about the dangers of smoking. For years, they've been working to push forward legislation to regulate their sales. Thanks to evidence and research performed by the AHA and its partners, the control efforts have cut the youth smoking rate from 1997 to […]
Heart disease is the number one killer of men and women in American, carrying a heavier death toll than smoking and cancer. It's been said, time and time again, how important it is to take care of your heart, and recent studies have shown that the message has begun to sink in.
Annually, heart disease is the number one killer of Americans. Doctors and health care professionals have emphasized the importance of making lifestyle changes to decrease the risks of heart attacks and strokes. The online journal, Circulation,published an article recently that gives these professionals reason to celebrate. According to the article, a study shows that healthy […]
High levels of sodium have been linked to increased blood pressure that can lead to heart attacks and strokes. However, health organizations and universities the world over continue to study the relationshipbetween sodium levels and heart health. The New England Journal of Medicine recently published the results of three studies looking at the correlation between […]
The heart is a powerful organ that is responsible for pumping blood throughout our bodies, without rest, for our entire lives. Despite how important and hard working it is, many people do not take extra steps in their daily routine to make sure they are taking care of their hearts. The American lifestyle habits of […]
Food is the fuel that powers our bodies on a daily basis. Choosing the right foods is important to maintaining a healthy body, especially when it comes to our hearts. Adding a couple of specific foods to your diet can drastically reduce your chances of suffering heart disease.
Three weeks following conception, a baby's heart will start to develop. A week later, that little heart is pumping blood to the rest of the developing organs. From that day forward and for the rest of that baby's life, that heart will continue to beat, pumping blood through the body without a moment of rest.
Your heart is a vital component of your anatomy, responsible for pumping a healthy dose of nutrient-rich blood throughout your entire body. Therefore, the health status of your heart will affect the health of the rest of your body. Dr. Evan Thacker, a chronic disease epidemiologist at Brigham Young University, was the lead researcher of […]
Heart disease is the number one killer of men in America. The heart is the hardest working muscle in the human body, therefore, taking care of it is important to a long and happy life. However, as entertainment changes to focus on indoor activities and food sources sacrifice health for convenience, it can be hard […]
Depression is a debilitating disease that causes sufferers to live in emotional anguish. How we feel is a result of the chemical signals received by our brain in response to certain stimuli. Sufferers of depression feel intense feelings of sadness and despair that persist longer than normal feelings of sadness. Each case varies slightly, depending […]
Summer is already here, and once again, you've found you never committed to a healthy diet plan after inhaling all those Valentine's Day chocolates. It's OK. We are only human, and sometimes our minds are not strong enough to undertake those challenging regimens. But who said dieting has to be hard? Our heart won't wait […]
Before you start a workout regimen it's important to ascertain what you are trying to achieve. Whether it's to lose weight, gain muscle, or simply to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle, everyone needs to have a goal they can work towards. Once you understand what you want to get out of your workout, you […]
Part of maintaining a healthy heart is watching what foods we eat. Avoiding foods that are high in sodium, high in cholesterol, or contain trans fat all contribute to a healthy diet. It had been debated for some time whether or not saturated fat was considered healthy or something that should be avoided. A recent […]

12 Must-Do Backpacking Adventures in national forests, or take in a sunset view of the never-ending rolling hills. Doesn't sound too bad, right? Pack your gear, make your plan, and hit the trail!
The hike to Hawksbill Mountain will reward you with panoramic views of Linville Gorge for minimal mileage. At the top, look left to Asheville and Table Rock and right to absorb all of the gorge's glory. This is a great spot for catching sunrise or sunset. If interested in staying overnight, contact the local ranger office to inquire about camping permits.
Follow the scenic Art Loeb Trail to summit Cold Mountain or climb Shining Rock Mountain's quartz towers. Check out the spring at the top of Cold Mountain just before reaching the campsites. Tip: Hiking the trail from South to North will save the best views for last! Bring plenty of water and food if you decide to hike the whole trail as this is a longer trek. Some parts are not well marked, so also come prepared with a map or reliable offline navigation tool.
This adventure features mountain views, stream crossings, and campsites along the way. Please note that permits are required for overnight camping in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. If you have the time, check out Clingman's Dome near the parking lot too. Wear appropriate footwear as it's possible you'll need to get your feet wet (depending on the season) at the stream crossing sections.
Hike through high grasses and wildflowers before arriving at a natural hot spring. This well-marked adventure boasts stunning views and the opportunity to camp overnight (campground right across the street from the parking lot). You may encounter some Appalachian Trail thru-hikers, offering a unique chance to say hello and potentially exchange memorable stories!
On the border of North Carolina and Tennessee, hop on the Appalachian Trail and head north through the Roan Mountain Balds. Wear sturdy footwear as this is a rocky trail. Stay the night at one of the established campsites for an unbelievable sunrise or sunset. It gets rather windy at the top since the area is quite exposed so bring appropriate outerwear and make sure your tent is pitched securely!
Backpack from the southernmost point (Fontana Lake) to the highest point (Clingman's Dome) in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In this more secluded part of the park, you'll experience peace among the forests and small waterfalls. Be prepared for stream/creek crossings. Permits are required for overnight camping.
Enjoy exploring three Southern Appalachian balds through the Nantahala National Forest starting right outside of Franklin, North Carolina– a hiker-friendly town! You'll pass by cascading waterfalls and will have the chance to soak in the beauty of surrounding peaks. Settle in at one of the shelters along the way overnight and be sure to check out the Wesser Bald fire tower for worthwhile panoramic views.
Seize the opportunity to trek through a section of the Mountain to Sea Trail and marvel at the views of Mount Hardy and the surrounding Middle Prong Wilderness, usually less crowded than the neighboring Shining Rock Wilderness. Pass by forests boasting oak, birch, spruce, and fir trees and hike alongside brooks, waterfalls, and meadows. Sunrise or sunset at the Green Knob summit makes for a particularly striking sight and is a great spot for photo opportunities.
This backpacking adventure in the Pisgah Ranger District offers a unique opportunity to soak in an amazing sunrise and sunset as there are two summits– one facing east and the other west. Far enough away from city lights, this is also an excellent spot for night photography. This is an especially great warm weather adventure as you'll pass by waterfalls and swimming holes along the way. Fly fishers will enjoy opportunities to catch wild brook trout.
Explore beautiful mountain balds in the Southern Appalachians. These include Black Balsam Knob, Sam Knob, and Tennent Mountain. Take your time admiring the vastness and beauty of the layered Blue Ridge Mountains. Camping is allowed in the Pisgah National Forest, but be sure to follow the proper rules and regulations. Pack plenty of water as the water supply along the trail is rather limited.
Enjoy panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains while backpacking to six grassy balds along the Appalachian Trail. Known for being one of the best sections of the AT, you won't be disappointed by the breathtaking views, the starry night sky, and the opportunity to see an alpine sunrise. Say hello to thru-hikers who you might see passing through!
Located in the Uwharrie National Forest, this adventure through the woods is mostly flat with several inclines. Part of the section towards the second half of the loop, however, has been coined Hallucination Hill, named for its length and steep incline. Those looking for a challenge will find one here! Since the trail is pretty densely covered with trees, it's not the most scenic hike, but the trail is well-marked and there are a number of campsites to set up tent and enjoy the night fully immersed in nature.

Urban Agenda for the EU
Climate adaptation measures can require substantial investment that can only be
secured if there is political buy-in. This session organised by EUROCITIES in
the framework of the EU Urban Agenda partnership on climate adaptation,
building on a first edition in May 2019, consists in a training designed
specifically for local politicians to raise their awareness of adaptation
issues.
In the framework of this year's EU Green Week theme 'Take the initiative!
Applying environmental legislation', Lille Metropole will organise a conference
and networking event on 'Urban adaptation to climate change' taking place on 25
April 2019 at the European Committee of the Regions.
The European Commission recently published the country reports under the
European Semester 2019, analysing the social and economic situation in each EU
member state. The country reports include more examples and analysis related to
specific urban challenges than in any other previous country reports
beforehand, which is good news for cities.
EUROCITIES members currently planning an event taking place between 13 April
and 9 June 2019 still have the possibility to register it as an EU Green Week
2019 partner event.
This year's EU Green Week will take place between 13 May and 17 May 2019 and
will examine the process of implementation of EU environmental laws.
Within the framework of our new EUROCITIES initiative 'Inclusive Cities for
All: Social Rights in My City', 21 cities have adopted pledges showing how they
act to translate the principles of the European Pillar of Social Rights into
actions to improve people's lives.

... lovers. Its dense purple color is followed by an explosive bouquet of blackberries sweet cherries licorice Provencal olives graphite and subtle smoke. Full-bodied with silky tannins as well as a terrific mouthfeel and palate penetration this gorgeous offering should drink well for 15 or more years.
One needs no further evidence of the extraordinary turn around in the quality of the Jaboulet wines than what proprietress Caroline Frey has accomplished in 2009 as well as 2010. As I indicated last year this is one of the great qualitative turn arounds in the wine world.

A separate peace how people affect
Chet is an excellent tennis and trumpet player and possesses a sincere love of learning.
When they arrive back at Devon, the boys find Leper coming back from his expedition to the beaver dam. Gene focuses on, and succeeds at, academics.
He is the first student in his class to enlist in the military. Characters[ edit ] Gene Forrester: Leper is a mild, gentle boy from Vermont who adores nature and engages in peaceful, outdoor-oriented hobbies, like cross-country skiing.
Gene has taken the thankless position of assistant senior crew manager and has to work for Cliff Quackenbush, an unhappy, bullying type. On his way to the train station to go shovel, Gene finds Leper in the middle of a meadow, cross-country skiing.
This leads to Gene starting to think like Finny to try to be a better person and to try to solve some of his envy towards him. Yes, the war does impact him; for example, it gives him a horrible experience with Leper, it impacts his life at Devon as troops and supplies for the war move onto campus, and it takes many of his friends away from him.
In the third to last paragraph of the book, Gene says, "I never killed anybody and I never developed an intense level of hatred for the enemy. He realizes that he is late for an afternoon appointment at the Crew House. Gene often proves a reticent and unreliable narrator when it comes to his own emotions.
Because of his "accident", Finny learns that he will never again be able to compete in sports, which are most dear to him. For example, the book was challenged in the Vernon-Verona-Sherill, NY School District as a "filthy, trashy sex novel" [1] despite having no substantial female characters and describing no sexual activity.
Brinker is very straight-laced and conservative. However, Gene struggled with the issues that war raised before he ever got to the real war. He has complete confidence in his own abilities and has a tendency to carry his ideas through with startling efficiency—at times even ruthlessness.
This rivalry climaxes and is ended when, as Finny and Gene are about to jump off the tree, Gene impulsively jounces the branch they are standing on, causing Finny to fall and shatter his leg.
He develops a love-hate relationship with his best friend, Finny, whom he alternately adores and envies. As Gene walks home, he meets Mr. Gene hits Quackenbush hard and they start to fight and fall into the river.
Gene is an interesting one, because one main point of the novel is that the war impacts him less than his experiences with Finny did. He is thoughtful and intelligent, with a competitive nature and a tendency to brood.
Because my war ended before I ever put on a uniform; I was on active duty all my time at school; I killed my enemy there. Finny creates a rite of initiation by having members jump into the Devon River from a large, high tree.
A stern disciplinarian, Mr. At the time, World War II is taking place and has a prominent effect on the story. Gene and Finny, despite being opposites in personality, are close friends at Devon: He was capable of great evil towards his good friend.
During a meeting of the Golden Fleece Debating Society, Brinker sets up a show trial and, based upon his shaking of the branch, accuses Gene of trying to kill Finny. He lives in the same room that he shared with Finny over the summer.
If so in this case, both characters are totally unaware of it. Gene is from "three states from Texas", and is therefore somewhat unaccustomed to Northeastern culture.a separate peace. people to extreme lengths.
A Separate Peace, written by John Knowles, is a novel about the difficulties of childhood during World War II. The main characters, Gene and Finny, attend Devon School, an all-boys boarding school located in New Hampshire. Gene is an interesting one, because one main point of the novel is that the war impacts him less than his experiences with Finny did.
Gene gives an entire analogy at the end of the book where he. When A Separate Peace begins, Gene is in his early thirties, visiting the Devon School for the first time in years.
He is thoughtful and intelligent, with a competitive nature and a tendency to brood. A summary of Chapters 6–7 A Separate Peace: How People Affect Gene Essay In A Separate Peace by John Knowles, Gene Forrester is a boy who has always been jealous of his best friend Finny for his athletic prowess and natural leadership abilities.
Gene looks at Finny with eyes full of envy while Finny only looks to Gene as a best friend. A Separate Peace is a coming-of-age novel by John Knowles. Based on his earlier short story, "Phineas," it was Knowles' first published novel and became his best-known work.
Set against the backdrop of World War II, A Separate Peace explores morality, patriotism and loss of innocence through its narrator, Gene.

Alpha Test: Experience and Skills
With our next Alpha test coming up this weekend, we wanted to take some time to go over one of the features you will get a first look at in this build, the Skill and Experience system.
While you spend time in the in game world, you will notice a number ticking up on the top right of the UI.
This number is the amount of experience your character has earned and can be used to purchase skills. At the moment, for testing reasons, this number will go up rather quickly to allow you to quickly and easily learn the lumber skill. There are many features, which we will discuss later, that will affect the rate at which this number goes up in the final game.
There are two key factors of the experience system in place for this alpha test. The first major one is that purchasing a skill resets the counter, so if you purchase the mining skill first you will have to explore for a bit before you can learn the other skill from the trainer, even if you have 200 points saved up. Also of note is that death will reset this counter. While this shouldn't be a huge issue, since combat isn't in yet, we just wanted to make people aware of it in the off chance you have a fight with gravity.
The second part of the system in play are the trainers themselves. We have made them readily available in order to facilitate testing, but this is not how things will work in the final game. While everyone will have access to some basic trainers early on, more advanced trainers will only be found in player cities. Each city will possess unique trainers that only its denizens, and their friends, can use.
We're looking forward to exploring these features with you in game starting this Saturday, August 6!

8/9/2011 Update
August 9, 2011 – Today was a rollercoaster emotions. Eric has been admitted into the BMT unit at Froedtert until at least Friday this week after being ambulanced down there from Two Rivers when he was continually throwing up blood. A CT Scan was performed to determine the source of the bleed. Results were inconclusive but the bleeding has stopped. What has remained is a high temperature due to an identified bacterial (or possibly viral) strain that Eric's medical team is having a difficult time fighting off. His temperature was up near 104 degrees this morning, and one of the PA's informed us that it may be "VRE" or Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci. Vancomycin comes from the term "vanquish", is probably the most powerful known antibiotic, and is known as a drug of last resort because of its toxicity to the kidneys. They have cultured his blood to determine the bacterial strain and results should be in this Thursday. Once that is known, fighting it will be easier because they'll know which tools to use.
They have him on many drugs, his IV pole is seriously loaded to the gills with different bags of fluid, hoping one of them would do the trick. Fortunately one of them proved to be working (which means that Erics bacteria is not resistant to all antibiotics and therefore probably not a VRE strain), as his temperature calmed to 99, and his heart rate slowed to the low 100's. He even asked to eat some ice cream. However, another CT scan was performed on his head after he reported a very strong headache later this afternoon. We should have results for that soon as well.
Brian and Mary drove down to Froedtert and were pleased to see him feeling a little better. Mike and Megan almost made the trip up from St. Louis this afternoon to give him some support as well, but since Eric is now in isolation, they'll be coming up for several days next week instead.
Cari has been there with him this entire time helping to keep everyone updated and remain by his side. She is one amazing young lady and the perfect wife for him. We are so at ease knowing she's at his side.
We will continue to stay positive and pray

Backoff strategy
If the Retry property is set to true,
the probe reverts to a backoff strategy when it fails to establish
a connection, or loses an existing connection, to the Probe for Motorola
OMC-R GSR9 (CORBA).
The probe's backoff strategy is to try to reestablish
a connection at successive intervals of one second, two seconds, four
seconds, eight seconds, and so on, up to a maximum of 4096 seconds.
When the maximum retry interval is reached, the probe shuts down,
restarts, and tries to reconnect again. The backoff strategy remains
in place until a successful login occurs.

Abusive pest terrified ex after pursuing her twice
A former partner terrified his ex after he abused her in the street and followed her on his motorbike.
Chesterfield magistrates' court heard, on July 12, how Jonathan Boycott Oddy, 46, was found guilty following a trial of harassment after two incidents, last year, in Chesterfield.
During a previous hearing, District Judge Andrew Davison said the complainant had been visiting an Auntie, on July 4, last year, when Oddy blocked her vehicle, near Storforth Lane, with his car and insulted her.
Judge Davison said: "He began banging on the windows which she wound down because she deemed him unpredictable. She said he screamed at her."
Oddy reached inside the complainant's car and grabbed her car keys and threw them away, according to Judge Davison, and the complainant said she felt terrified. The defendant, of Squirrel Walk, Fforest, Pontarddualais, Swansea, had denied following the complainant and claimed it had been a coincidental meeting and his ex had instigated contact because he thought she wanted help.
Judge Davison also found Oddy had approached her in his motorcycle on July 21, last year, on Derby Road, and left the complainant in fear. Oddy had denied the offence and claimed he had been at an auction. The defendant had also been accused of posting explicit photos of the complainant on social media but this was found to have been done jointly when the couple was in a relationship. Oddy was sentenced to a 12 month community order with 140 hours' unpaid work. He was given a two-year restraining order and must pay £500 compensation, an £85 victim surcharge and £500 costs.
This article was updated on October 19, 2017 to include the statement that Mr Oddy's conviction has now been quashed by the Crown Court on appeal. To read the article on his appeal CLICK HERE

And I have few problems with WordPress translations, and I don't know why… I have OceanWP child theme. And few things are still in another language… for example page 404, screen:
Currently, OceanWP does not have a Romanian language pack available
Therefore, all themeits possible strings are displayed in English in order to maintain consistency
Also, you need to check y
our site settings and your profile language settings to ensure that both are correct.
It is possible that you have German set as the language of your site or the language of your user's profile
Clean your browser's cache as well as the caches on the site to ensure this does not happen
The process of changing the language of the WordPress backend and frontend can be found in the wp-admin panel under Settings > General. There change the Site Language option to your desired language. Once you save the changes the new language will be applied to your website.

Babies listen and learn while in the womb
Sometimes she just tells him about her day. Other times, Ruthie W. rubs her pregnant belly and tells her future son that she can't wait to meet him (which should be any day now).
And a new study shows that he not only hears his mom, but may understand her and is already learning language from her.
"I talk to him all the time, even when I am in stores shopping for a layette and other things we will need once he is born," says the New York City-based cosmetic executive. "People probably think I am crazy if they overhear me!"
Far from it.
In fact, she is giving her son a foundation for language development.
The new research suggests that babies began to absorb language when they are inside the womb during the last 10 weeks of pregnancy -- which is earlier than previously held. Newborns can actually tell the difference between their mother's native tongue and foreign languages just hours after they are born.
"The main message for new moms is that their babies are listening and learning and remembering during the last stages of pregnancy. Their brains do not wait for birth to start absorbing information," says study author Patricia K. Kuhl, PhD. She is the Bezos Family Foundation endowed chair in early childhood learning and a professor of speech and hearing sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle.
How can researchers tell?
Kuhl and colleagues used a high-tech pacifier that was connected to a computer that measured infants' reactions to sounds. The study included 80 infants who were, on average, about 30 hours old and from Tacoma, Wash., and Stockholm, Sweden. They listened to vowel sounds in their native language and a foreign tongue while sucking on the pacifier.
Vowels are the loudest units in speech. The number of times they suck on the pacifier indicates which vowel sounds attracted their attention. Babies sucked longer for foreign languages than their native tongue in both countries, the study showed.
Building Blocks of Language
"The mother's voice can be heard because it is amplified by her body," Kuhl says.
Sorry, Dad. The father's voice cannot be heard in the womb, she says.
"Mothers shouldn't try putting earphones on their bellies and playing music because it's already noisy in there," she says. "Learning the mother's voice and her vowels happens naturally as the mothers speak," she says.
"Expectant moms should have confidence that their developing baby is making sense out of the sounds that she is providing for the baby," says another study author, Christine Moon, PhD. She is a psychologist at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma. "This is how we launch off into language."
The sound of their mom's voice is also associated with movement. "The mom moves when she talks, and her diaphragm is moving when she talks, and we think that this pairing may be useful and may help make the sound more salient."
Their findings appear in the journal Acta Paediatrica.
Speech pathologists like New York City's Melissa Wexler Gurfein are excited about the findings.
"Really what it is saying is that infants are learning and tuning into the speech patterns of their first exposed language(s) earlier than was originally thought," she tells WebMD. "This may suggest the importance of the mother not only to talk during the last trimester of pregnancy but to continue to talk to her newborn from the moment of birth to help facilitate language development. "
David Mendez, MD, says that the best thing that expectant moms can do for themselves and their baby is to maintain a stress- and chemical-free environment. He is a neonatologist at Miami Children's Hospital. "Talk to your baby as much as possible in a calm and relaxing way," he says. Avoid screaming, yelling and other violent language.
The study is "fascinating,"says Amos Grunebaum, MD. He is the director of obstetrics at the New York Hospital-Cornell Weill Medical College in New York City. "People thought that newborns don't learn until they are born, but this well-conceived study that shows that fetuses can learn while in utero," he says. "We knew they could hear sounds, but we can teach fetuses."
Natalie Meirowitz, MD, agrees that the study is fascinating, but she is concerned that some moms may take it to the extreme and start purchasing Rosetta Stone and other language tapes to give their baby a leg up. She is the chief of maternal and fetal medicine at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, N.Y.
"We are learning a lot more about how sensitive the fetus is and how much influence stimuli coming from the mom have on the fetus," she says. "We have known for a long time that fetuses hear outside noises and noises coming from the mother," she says. But "I don't think this means moms should get language tapes and teach children different languages while they are in the wombkettes

10 Things You'll Relate to If You're an ENFP
ENFPs are known by many titles in the type community: "the inspirers", "the champions", "the campaigners", "the idealists", the list goes on and on. The common characteristic that all these titles draw attention to is the ENFP's vision and determination. While many memes and stereotypes paint ENFPs to be unicorn-loving, super-chatty party animals, the real ENFP is often much more intellectual and contemplative than the stereotypes would imply. Let's take a look at some of the characteristics of real ENFPs.
This article contains affiliate links. If you purchase an eBook from one of my links I get a small percentage back to help run my site.
10 Things You'll Relate to If You're An ENFP
"I Get Energetic When Discussing New Ideas and Possibilities"
Idea-generating is my strength, and the more I can brainstorm and create new ideas and envision new avenues for the future, the happier I am! I get really depressed when I'm stuck in a mundane, routine existence and I can't imagine what will happen someday because everything is already planned out.
"I'm Friendly and Empathetic, but I'm Not an Open Book"
Because I use Introverted Feeling (Fi), I keep my values and emotions private except to those I trust very deeply. I loooove to talk about ideas and theories, but I'm less inclined to just chatter away about my deeper feelings and values. As ENFP blogger Heidi Priebe says, "ENFPs are deeply serious people at their core, but they feel protective of their deepest feelings and often make light of serious situations in order to avoid delving into them in the presence of others."
I Embrace Individuality in Myself and Others
I don't believe in "blending in" with the crowd, and I don't believe anyone else should have to either. I think that each person has their own unique set of values and those values should be respected (unless they hurt others). I try to mold and refine my values throughout my lifetime to make sure that they're authentic to me and not just a reproduction of culturally-espoused rules and traditions that don't mean anything.
I Naturally See Potential in People
I get so excited when I meet someone new who has a hidden potential they don't even know about! I automatically tune into other people's strengths and abilities and can see a bright future for them. This is probably why I have that "inspirer" nickname!
Creativity and Novelty Feeds My Soul
New ideas, new places, new people inspire me and make my mind buzz with unexplored potential and possibilities. I love hearing about a new philosophy or idea that will jumpstart my creative engine and get me strategizing, imagining, and asking questions.
I Love Being Around People, but I Hate Shallow Conversation
Sure, I'm an extrovert. I enjoy going to a party or sitting around the table discussing ideas over a game of Apples to Apples. But I really am not interested in small talk or surface-level conversations. The latest celebrity gossip or fashion statements really won't excite me. I would much rather talk about the meaning of life, business ideas, adventures, our hopes, dreams, and passions!
I Tend to Forget My Physical Needs
I get so caught up in ideas, theories, and imaginative potential that I lose track of what my body needs. I can forget to eat, forget to sleep, forget to drink, floss, etc,. as I get caught up in imagining all the amazing things I want to do in the future. Sometimes this backfires and I'll "crash", suddenly becoming exhausted, burned out, or eating everything I can get my hands on!
I See A Hundred Angles to Every Argument
When I was a kid, people thought I was a troublemaker sometimes because I argued so much. No matter what someone says, I can look at it from 1000 different perspectives and see the opposing side easily. I want harmony in my relationships, but sometimes I just can't help playing devil's advocate. Life just isn't black and white!
Boredom is My Nemesis
I like to have many different ideas and projects in the air at the same time. Nothing to me is worse than repetition and monotony. I like being in the middle of creative chaos and finding amazing solutions to complex problems…but sitting at a desk doing paperwork or memorizing facts? Please no.
People Underestimate Me Because I'm Upbeat and "Bubbly"
Yes, I'm enthusiastic and full of ideas. Yes, I'm friendly and can be the life of the party sometimes. But I love to learn and grow and am on a constant quest for self-improvement. I want to create a business, travel to Southeast Asia, read all the great philosophers, or improve the lives of marginalized people. We are usually highly ambitious, entrepreneurially-minded individuals!

ENTJs are known for being determined, visionary, and logical. These tough thinkers tend to appear as the quintessential "Type A" personalities.

Dead on. Especially eating everything, having people underestimate me, and being friendly but not being an open book. So many people say they know me so well, but they couldn't be farther from the truth!
People thinking they know me because I am friendly and outgoing I deal with everyday It is hard for people to reconcile that I can see many sides to an argument, and yet be so singularly passionate about a given idea. And yes, I need to be talking about ideas or concepts to keep my synapses jumping. Small talk is like treading water; you're swimming, but you're not going anywhere!
Had my troubles with my High School classmates, they seemed to always have the small talk, talking about the latest trends, gossips and yeah… not my type XD.
Its pretty boring being in a place where everybody talks superficially, even friendships (some) may just be pure small talk. Kinda boring and hypocrite in my opinion.

8 Mandarin Fish Facts: They Are Beauty and Beast at the Same Time
The Mandarin fish is one of the most stunning fish in the ocean, and that's why many people keep them. But, besides the beauty, they are much more than that! Here are 8 amazing facts about Mandarin fish.
1. Mandarin fish is one of the gorgeous fish
The Mandarin fish is a saltwater fish and it has an unusual look with a bump on its forehead. What makes this fish stand out is its dynamic coloration. It has blue color with curvy lines and different vivid patterns. With the colors red, orange, yellow, and green, the Mandarin fish is one of the most colorful species on the planet.
Among thousand fish, the Mandarin is one of just two fish having this brilliant coloration, and they have their own way to have this colorful look.
To lighten themselves up, most blue-hued animals must rely on intricate optical illusions. This is accomplished by their skin's small layers of colorless crystals. These are layered in a way to reflect blue light back to the viewer.
This is not the way that Mandarin fish use to have the blue color. This fish, as well as its near sibling, the psychedelic Mandarin produces blue-pigmented 'cyanophones' which are light-reflecting cells. This is how these fish get themselves spectacular color.
There are two main color types of fish: red and green. The distinction is that the green version bears a crimson pelvic fin rather than the typical orange. These fish don't have anal spines or scales. The males have an enlarged first dorsal spine, which is the principal morphological distinction between the two sexes.
Their exceptionally bright coloration which resembles the robes of an Imperial Chinese mandarin brings them the name. Besides the Mandarin name, these species also have many popular names like green dragonet fish, striped dragonet, mandarin goby fish, striped mandarin fish, green mandarin, and even psychedelic mandarin fish.
2. They're small and shy
Because of their beautiful appearance, many people want to dive into the ocean to see them. However, they are hard to detect in their natural habitat. This is because these shy fish prefer to hide in the sand or under corals on the ocean bottom. In addition, they are quite small. Their body size is just about 6 cm (2.4 in), and females are slightly smaller than males.
Mandarin fish are frequently observed in groups or pairs. A school of green dragonets usually seek food near or on the coral reef. You can barely see a Mandarin fish searching for food on its own.
3. Habitat
These gorgeous fish lives in the Pacific Ocean. They can be found in the western Pacific in regions of Asia, including China and Japan. Philippines and Indonesia are also their home. They are also present in significant numbers in Hong Kong and New Guinea. Their geographic range extends to Japan's Ryukyu Islands and warm Australian seas.
A Mandarin fish's native habitat is tropical seawater. It prefers to hang out in shallow bays and near-shore reefs. The fish has been observed largely at the ocean's bed. It does, however, float up during mating.
4. Mandarin fish are poisonous
Not only are Mandarin fish beautiful, but they are also dangerous. Since the Mandarin fish lacks scales, it is vulnerable to predators and disease. That's why they protect themselves by wearing tiny spines all over their body. These spines are used to shoot deadly mucus into their predators.
The Mandarin fish's colorful epidermis has two kinds of cells: one that emits venom to defend it against predators, and one that generates a thick mucus covering to guard it against parasites, elements, and sickness.
This mucus coating is very harmful, especially if it gets into an open wound of the predator. Moreover, it stinks. Thick mucus and an awful smell – these 2 elements are enough to put someone off a possible meal.
To be safe, you shouldn't touch the Mandarin fish. They're poisonous to humans with their toxic spines.
5. Mandarin Fish – sliding picture puzzle
6. They only have one predator
As we mention above, Mandarin fish have their secret weapon to protect themselves. The mucus and the toxic spines make other species afraid of them. This is why these beautiful fish have almost no known predators.
The well-known predator – scorpionfish
However, this can't intimidate scorpionfish which are one of their common enemies. The scorpionfish is one of the best camouflage masters. Due to the rough look, they easily blend into the coral reefs and wait till the time comes to attack their prey. This usually happens when the Mandarin fish engage in their breeding ritual.
7. They have a unique mating ritual
Mandarin mating behavior is truly fascinating. These species are highly appealing due to their brilliant blue hue. They're even glamorous when the males perform a flashy dance in order to attract female Mandarin fish.
At sunset, females will gather at a certain area on the reef. They wait for the males to come and do their wooing dance. Not all females are keen on breeding, they would just swim away. Because there are fewer ready females, the males are highly aggressive and fiercely compete to be chosen. Female Mandarin fish tend to pick larger and stronger males.
When the female chooses their mate, they swim above the reef to reproduce, with the female laying on the pelvic fin of the male. Following this, the mating procedure is identical to that of other fish.
The male discharges sperm and the females produce eggs in the current at the same time. The couple subsequently split up, and the courtship comes to an end. Males can breed with numerous females in one night.
The female has the ability to spawn practically every night. It can lay up to 200 eggs at a time. The fertilized eggs emerge into larvae in 18-24 hours and settle within the reef after floating for 2 weeks.
Mandarin fish have an average lifespan of 10 to 15 years. This is quite lengthy for a fish. However, they live substantially shorter lives in captivity, about 2 to 4 years.
8. These fish are picky eaters
The Mandarin marine fish is a picky eater. It is a carnivorous fish and has a highly specialized diet. Crustaceans make up the majority of their food. These predators' favorite crustaceans include isopods and amphipods. The fish mainly seek these creatures around the coral reef and other live rocks.
Isopods/Cre: on picAmphipod
Besides crustaceans, their diet also includes other food like fish eggs, protozoans, small snails, and other marine invertebrates.
Mandarin fish eat all day in their natural environment. They take food that is positioned on the bottom or on the surface.
9. Mandarin fish are not suitable to make good pets
Because of its stunning appearance, many people keep this species as pets. You can easily buy them in pet stores and online. However, this saltwater fish is quite hard to maintain in a tank due to some reasons below:
– The Mandarin fish have specific dietary needs. They won't consume standard fish food or prepared food. It can be difficult to feed them.
– In the aquarium, you shouldn't keep more than one Mandarin fish in one tank if they are male. A male Mandarin fish will detest its own kind which is males. They are aggressive toward one another and will not allow each other's existence in the same tank. However, a male and female can be housed together.
– In the wild, they live 4 times longer than in captivity.
– Their price is quite expensive. Individual fish can cost you up to $150.

3 Eco-Friendly Bathroom Ideas That Will Blow Your Mind
It's monumental that people are slowly becoming aware of their choices and affect the environment and are changing to make it better. From recycling to using eco-friendly forms of energy, the earth will soon thank you after eliminating carbon footprints. To achieve the goal, however, you need to do everything possible. Today, we look at three eco-friendly bathroom ideas you can implement at your home that contributes to the overall goal of achieving an eco-friendly environment.
1. VOC Free Paints, Coating, and Finishes
White paint has proven easier to maintain. However, you can pick new color shades, including red, gray, and others. The one thing to lookout for is the quality of the paint. Ensure it's VOC free as it can't damage your health or the environment.
2. Add Technology
It seems ridiculous to put technology and eco-friendly in one line. But hear me out. Due to technological advances, LED lighting in the bathroom is possible. LED lights on your vanity will particularly look sleek. With these new lights, ditch the old bulbs that consume more power. Add a temperature regulator and towel dryer to save energy, money, and water.

In the case of wildlife management that produces results…well…both the who and the what you know are important.
Purina Mills is the answer, they are the "who you know" and give us the "what you know" for installing and using proper techniques and principles to develop a successful management program.
The "Who You Know"
For over 100 years, Purina Mills, LLC has been America's Leader in Animal Nutrition. Since 1926, we have been performing animal nutrition research studies at our 1,188-acre LongView Animal Nutrition Center in Gray Summit, Missouri. We began conducting research specific to deer in the mid-1950's, and today over 50 years later, we continue to research, formulate, test and manufacture more groundbreaking products. Our devotion to product excellence and innovation continues today with the nutritional breakthrough called AntlerMax® Technology. [read more]
Purina Mills started doing wildlife nutrition research over 50 years ago and we are committed to helping you manage the habitat and the wildlife on your property.
The "What You Know"
A properly designed and implemented supplemental feeding program will make up the gaps in nutrition that often occur when habitat does not supply all the nutrients needed for healthy and productive deer, elk, game fish and game birds.
Nutrition is one of the major factors affecting productivity of deer and elk, but it is one over which a wildlife manager can exercise considerable control. In order to make nutrition decisions which will result in a healthy, productive deer or elk herd, several factors should be considered: (1) Seasonal forage availability and quality; (2) Physiological state and nutritional requirements; (3) Number and kinds of animal species; (4) Livestock and grazing management practices; and (5) Production goals. [read more]
Deer & Protein
There is considerable controversy regarding the percentage of dietary protein that deer should have. Many people believe that deer cannot tolerate more than 16% dietary protein and that high-protein diets are wasteful or even toxic. This simply is not true.
Research in South Texas has shown that wild deer diets at certain times of the year can be over 25% protein. Many forbs highly utilized by deer are over 30% protein. Obviously, the wild deer are unharmed by consuming these high-protein plants. Indeed, excellent antler growth years were those with superb spring forage conditions. The resulting antler growth suggests that not only were the deer not harmed by their high-protein diet, they actually utilized the protein to grow bigger antlers, indicating that higher protein is necessary for a buck to achieve his genetic potential for antler growth. [read more]
Does Nutrition Guarantee Trophy Bucks?
If only it were that simple! Great nutrition will give your deer the opportunity to maximize their genetic potential for antler growth, but it is just one (albeit an important one) of many factors that affect antler growth. Even assuming that you are providing the best nutrition possible, other things, some within your control and some not, will affect production of trophy racks.
General health greatly influences a variety of factors that affect antler growth, such as feed intake and hormone production. If your deer are laboring under a parasite load (internal or external), clinical or sub-clinical disease challenges, or have been injured, antler growth will be negatively affected no matter how nutritious the feed because nutrition will be siphoned off to deal with these other issues. Good management must go hand-in-hand with nutrition to get optimum results. [read more]
Deer and Self-Guided Nutrition
Many people believe that deer (and other animals) somehow inherently know what they need and how much of it to eat. If you stop to think about it, you'll quickly realize this does not make sense. If deer automatically knew what they needed, then there would be no need to formulate feeds for them; simply throw all the individual ingredients out there and let the deer "have at it". However, it is the need for energy and the appeal of palatability that influence what a deer eats. After all, if a deer always knew what and how much to eat, it would never eat too much tasty corn and make itself sick!
Deer, like all ruminant animals, eat to meet their energy needs. The need for energy drives daily intake. If one feed is lower in energy than another, deer will eat more of the low-energy feed in order to meet their demand for calories. Likewise, deer will need less of a higher-quality, higher-energy feed. And because deer eat to meet an energy requirement, the other nutrients (fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals) must be in proportion with the energy amount so that the deer gets what it needs of all nutrients in the amount of feed that it will eat. For instance, a high-energy low-protein feed will not provide enough protein because the deer will eat only until its energy requirement is met. A high-energy, low-fiber feed (such as corn) can actually get your deer in trouble if they eat too much at once. It is important to provide a well-balanced feed that provides all the nutrient classes in proper amounts to meet your animal's needs without causing problems. [read more]
You have been preparing all off-season with land improvements, new blinds, scouting, setting management goals or getting your new lease lined up. Now the time is here, where the work ends and the fun begins, Hunting Season!
I LOVE hunting season!
The interesting thing is, the reason i love it has changed, which i am sure it does for everyone at some point. The cause of this revelation has to be the absolute best and most rewarding part of this sport. I still love the basics: being in the outdoors, watching wildlife, and the thrill of the hunt, but now i find myself enjoying a different aspect the most, camaraderie.
The special times and experiences shared and memories that are made with friends and family on each hunting trip – that's where the money is at. Don't get me wrong, i have always enjoyed the camaraderie and stories (what happens in hunting camp stays in hunting camp), but now there is a huge addition to the camaraderie factor. My son.
Spending time with my son at a hunting camp and in a hunting blind is unmatched. There are no tv's, video games, computers or work just me and him with nature mixed in. The moments we have together from the "talks" we have or the experiences we go through mean more to me than he will ever know. The chance to teach and pass down traditions, the way my father did with me, and sharing moments just between the two of us are times and memories we both will never forget. My personal favorite is how many times i smile and laugh at things he does, the comments he makes and his interaction with other family and friends in such an open forum. For those that have or are experiencing this remarkable father & child time I don't have to tell you how fulfilling it is, for those that havent, just wait.
"Hunting Season" means much more than a regulated time to hunt- its friends, family and life long memories.
Good luck this year and we want to remind you that SAFETY is ALWAYS the most important tool and ingredient to fun and successful hunting trips. So, make sure you practice and teach the safe and correct way to handle firearms and proper hunting practices.
Hunting is a sport, and a necessity to ensure the balance between humans and wildlife. Without regulated hunting, this balance would be upset and cause an over population of wildlife that would be detrimental to our Eco-system and ultimately increase the possibilities of disease. But remember hunting is a PRIVILEGE, not a shooting gallery where you can harvest as many animals as you want. There are rules and restrictions, and they are there for a reason, FOLLOW THEM!
The two most important are Hunters Education and the season & bag limits.
Quality equipment is the key to accomplish a less "work" and more "play" hunting trip. Knowing you have feeders that will work and be ready to go on your arrival makes for a hassle free trip. Before you ask, yes, you still have to put in a little work and fill these feeders, but All Seasons Feeders are the way to go.
Aztec Rental is a full line dealer for All Seasons Feeders. From protein feeders and broadcast feeders to road feeders, we have the feeder to fit your needs. All Seasons Wildlife Feeders are constructed to withstand the harshest environments Mother Nature can create. Their premiere designs are made to deliver feed to specific animals, while decreasing waste to varmints and weather.

100 days to go to London 2012
Published Monday 16 April 2012
With 100 days to go to the London 2012 opening ceremony, New Forest residents and visitors are being encouraged to support local Olympic hopefuls.
The New Forest National Park Authority and New Forest District Council are launching an exhibition of photographs of New Forest elite and up-and-coming talented athletes on Wednesday 18 April. The striking series of images captures the athletes practising their sport in the iconic New Forest landscape.
The exhibition, which will tour venues around the New Forest between now and the end of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in September, will showcase the National Park landscape, encourage people to back their local heroes and inspire people of all ages to get involved in sport.
With stories of their road to London 2012 in an accompanying booklet, the athletes have spoken about how they started out in their sport and their links to the New Forest.
Among those featured are triple Olympic gold medallist sailor Ben Ainslie from Lymington; GB wheelchair rugby team member Aaron Phipps from Totton; Commonwealth silver medallist gymnast Laura Edwards from Brockenhurst; GB Volleyball player Nichola Osborne from New Milton and GB handball team member Dan McMillan from Sway. The photos by Robert Nemeti were taken in iconic New Forest settings including Palace House at Beaulieu, Buckler's Hard, Hatchet Pond and the Rhinefield Aboretum.
Leader of New Forest District Council, Councillor Barry Rickman, said: 'New Forest District Council is proud of its talented athletes and committed to supporting sport at many different levels from the grass roots to the elite. We hope to raise the profile of some of our top class athletes and get the whole of their local community behind them. For local residents to watch these athletes at the biggest sporting event on earth and realise that you can come from the New Forest, start at one of our many great clubs and make it all the way to the top should be an inspiration to get involved.
'This exhibition also profiles some of our rising stars who are aspiring to reach the heights of those Olympic athletes. The legacy of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games will be our world class athletes inspiring others from their local communities to get involved, to take up activity and realising that if you have the talent and determination you too could achieve your dreams.'
Alison Barnes, New Forest National Park Chief Executive, said: 'With London 2012 and the torch relay passing through the New Forest, this summer gives us a golden opportunity to celebrate our historic landscape.
'The New Forest was created for sport by William the Conqueror over 900 years ago as his hunting ground and has an impressive sporting history. So it is fitting that the area is home to so many elite athletes hoping to compete on the world sporting stage at the London 2012 Olympics.
'Part of the National Park's remit is to increase people's understanding and enjoyment of the National Park while conserving the landscape for future generations. The Olympic year offers a unique opportunity to shine the spotlight on what is special about the Forest.
'We hope by visiting this exhibition, people will be inspired to explore this unique landscape while taking up healthy activities – whether it is out enjoying a peaceful walk in the Forest or more formal sporting pursuits to reaching the pinnacle of Olympic competition.'

1. Games With Popsicle Sticks
Pile them on the table and tell your class that they have 1 minute to find as many New Testament (or Old Testament) books as they can.
Separate New Testament from Old Testament and have your class put the popsicle sticks in order.
Have a relay. Pile the popsicle sticks on the floor and line the kids up on the other side of the room. Have them race to put the popsicle sticks in order; or find just New (or Old) Testament books and then put them in order. You can also have them looking for boos from certain sections – Pentateuch, History, Epistles, Poetry. Depending on the skill level of your class, you can let the kids use their Bible's table of contents.
Hide & Seek – let a couple of kids hide some popsicle sticks around the classroom and then have the rest of the class find and put in order.
2. Bible Bingo
This is a fun activity that kids love!
For younger kids (Gr. 1-3)
Print enough copies of the blank Bible Bingo template (pictured at the right) for your class and fill each in with books from the Bible ahead of time. (Make sure each child's game sheet a little different). You can focus on Old Testament or New Testament or the whole Bible. Make a master copy so that you don't have to fill in new templates each time you want to play. You can also print a filled-in Bible Bingo template. You can play with bingo dabbers, highlighters, or markers.
Pass out to your class and explain how to play. Tell them that you will call out a book of the Bible – if you are focusing on a certain part of the Bible, make that clear at the beginningPass out the Bible Bingo sheets to your class and explain how to play. Tell them to use their Bible's table of contents and fill in the bingo sheet. Let them know if you are focusing on Old Testament or New Testament. Tell them that you will call out a book of the BibleVariation
Here is a Bible Bingo game that adds in the challenge of knowing the divisions of the books. Print enough copies of the blank or filled-in Bible Bingo template for your class. Also print a copy of the Bible Bingo Leader Strips. You may want to print these on card stock and/or laminate them so they last longer.
Pass out Bible Bingo game sheets to your class. Put the leader strips in a basket or just in a pile on the table. Tell the kids that you will choose and read a strip. They can highlight a match on their Bible Bingo sheet. Explain, "If I say 'Gospels & Acts,' they you need to look for Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts. Those are the books in the Gospels and Acts part of the Bible."
For a younger class or in order to play a shorter game, you may make a rule that kids can highlight any matches on their sheet to the clue you called out. For an older class or to play a longer game, you may make the rule that kids can only highlight one match to the clue you called out. This rules allows the kids to use some strategy during the game.
So, for example, if you are playing by the first rule, if you call 'Minor Prophets' kids can highlight any of the Minor Prophets on their Bible Bingo sheet – Malachi, Haggai, Jonah, etc. If you are playing by the second set of rules, they would have to chose one of those options.
This is a fun way to get kids interacting with the books of the Bible and putting them in context by using the divisions as well.
3. Old & New Testament Game
Attach the Old & New Testament signs (print in color or print in black and white) to opposite walls of your classroom or play area. Have the children stand in the middle. Call out a book of the Bible and have the children run to the sign of the testament they think it's in. This game can be played for points or not; if you want to make it a little more competitive for older kids, you could make it an elimination game if they get it wrong.
Using index cards, print one book of the Bible on each card. Put them in a pile on the floor in the middle of the play area. Attach the Old & New Testament signs to opposite walls of your classroom or play area. Tell the kids, when you say "go" they should grab a card and take it to its correct location. All kids play at once. The goal is to see how fast the class can divide the cards into their correct testaments.
4. Books of the Bible Poster Game
Print off a copy of the books of the Bible strips onto cardstock. Laminate if desired. Cut out and add magnets, tape, sticky tac, paper clips or Velcro to the back of each book. Using a poster board, title it "Books of the Bible." Add sub-titles, "Old Testament" and "New Testament." Add numbers 1-66, separating the Old and New Testaments. For a variation, make a poster for Old Testament and a poster for New Testament. For an added challenge add the divisions of the Bible. An option would be to make two identical sets of whichever variation you are using for team play.
Attach the poster to the wall or put it flat on the floor. Lay the books of the Bible strips on the floor. Line the kids up. On go, the player picks up a book and races to the poster and places it wherever they believe it goes. The player returns to the start line and tags off the next player. They take their turn, playing as before. In addition, if a player believes a book placed previously is incorrect, he or she may change it. Play continues until all the books are placed correctly.
Playing in teams and racing to be the first team to place all the answers correctly increases the fun!
Note: You can adjust this game to the skill level of your class. Put some books on the poster ahead of time to give the kids a jump start. If you want to give your class a serious challenge, leave the poster blank.
Note: These pictures are examples of what the posters can look like (The New Testament poster is missing number 19 which should be with General Epistles). The actual posters should be bigger (poster paper size). Have fun making these posters or even better make it a class activity to make posters for Bible games!
Many Sunday School teachers have the responsibility of teaching one class with children of all ages. This is not an easy responsibility, but it can be done.
Here are 4 tips for teachers of multi-age classes:
1. Teach to the middle
For the Bible lesson portion of your Sunday School class, plan and teach for the middle of your age range. If your class is children in grades 1-6, then teach to the grade 3 level. The younger children may find the lesson a bit above their level and the older children may find it does not challenge them enough, but teaching to the middle is the best way to reach all the children in your class. No matter how big of an age gap you have between the kids in your class, teach to the middle of the age range. The other activities you plan will help bring it all together for the kids in your class.
2. Plan application & activities for specific ages
The application and other activities you plan for the Sunday School class will be where you can challenge each age group specifically and make sure that everyone understands the main point of the class.
Application – Split the kids into 2 or 3 age groups for the application time. Give the older kids an assignment that will help them to discover the application in a group. While they are busy, you can discuss the application with the younger kids. You may encourage each group to choose a presenter that will tell the whole group what they discovered during application time. When you have finished with the younger children, get them involved in an activity and then join the older children to find out what they have discovered and encourage them in the right direction if necessary.
Bible memory verse – The younger kids can be given a portion of the verse and the older kids can be challenged to memorize all of it. For example, the younger kids in your class can be given James 1:17a "Every good and perfect gift is from above," and the older kids can be given the entire verse to memorize, "Every good and perfect gift is from above coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."
Games & Crafts – Plan games and crafts that are appropriate for the different age groups. While the younger kids are working on a coloring picture or simple craft, the older kids can be working on a group assignment. Make sure all games and crafts that you plan are related to the lesson and specifically to the theme of the lesson.
3. Give the older kids responsibility
Giving the older kids some responsibility in your class will challenge them and help them to feel like vital parts of the Sunday School class.
There are many ways the older kids can help with the younger kids:
Ask them to sit with the younger kids during the Bible lesson. The big kids can be an example for the younger children of expected behavior.
The older kids can also help the younger kids look up the Bible passage. If the younger kids have storybook Bibles, the older kids can help them find the story. Then the older kids can show the younger kids where it is found in their Bibles. This is especially helpful as not all Bible stories will be found in storybook Bibles.
Ask the older kids to read Bible passages out loud. Another idea is to have the older kids act out the Bible story.
The older kids could help lead a game or craft you have planned for the younger kids. They can also help the younger kids with the memory verse. Encourage them to explain the verse to the younger kids. This will help them in memorizing as well.
4. Teach 1 thing
I have written about teaching one thing before. It is just as important to teach one thing in a mulit-age class as it is in a single-age classroom.
As you are teaching your multi-age class, find different ways to state your theme that will relate to the different age groups.
For example, your theme is "God is the sovereign ruler of all." The Bible lesson, activities, and memory verse all support and highlight this theme. Repeat it often. If you have preschoolers in your class you could say, "God is the boss," or "God is the King of everything." For children in grades 1-3 you could say, "God is sovereign – that means He is in charge of everything. No one is His boss."
By restating in a few times, you are making sure that all age groups understand and you are explaining the meaning of difficult or new words. All the kids in your class will benefit from that.
It is not easy to teach a class with children of all different ages. As a teacher, you want to make sure that all the children in your class are engaged, learning, and being challenged. These tips should help you as you seek to teach children of any ageThis verse is true whether I read it in my hard copy Bible or my digital Bible. All Scripture is useful. We need to teach our kids this truth and pray that they come to love the Bible – because it is the Word of God to us.
We live in an age of unprecedented access to the Bible. I have at least 10 copies of the Bible in my house. The Bible is accessible on the internet, and on our phones. With the Bible being so easy to access, it is still important to memorize Scripture?
I believe there is huge value in memorizing Scripture and encouraging our kids to memorize Scripture. There are a number of reasons why Scripture memory is important, but I want to focus on one:
Scripture memory helps us to avoid sin; to resist temptation.
The Psalmist writes that he memorizes Scripture in order to avoid sin.
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Psalm 119:11
Even Jesus, when being tempted in the wilderness, quoted Scripture.
Children will face temptation. Our job as children's ministry volunteers (and as parents) is to teach our children the value of memorizing Scripture in order resist temptation.
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Ephesians 6:13
One piece of the full armor of God that is used to help us stand our ground is the Sword of the Spirit – the Word of God.
But do our kids need to memorize Scripture in order to use it to resist temptation? Maybe not, but in that moment when temptation comes, are they going to ask for a time out so that they can get out their phones and look up something that will help? Having the Bible so accessible is great, but it will not help in that situation if they don't know what to look up.
However, if our children have memorized a verse that teaches them what to do when tempted, they will always have that knowledge.
"You are tempted in the same way all other human beings are. God is faithful. He will not let you be tempted any more than you can take. But when you are tempted, God will give you a way out so that you can stand up under it." (1 Corinthians 10:13),
In that moment when temptation comes, instead of asking for a time-out, our kids will remember that God has promised them a way out and ask Him to show it to them.
Scripture memory is a great tool we can give to our kids. We need to encourage them to memorize Scripture and then tell them why it is important. We need to show them the difference between having the Bible accessible and having it "hidden in our hearts." Temptation will come – let's give our kids the tools they need to stand their ground.

24 Final Step of "Naissance d'une Montre" with Greubel Forsey and Philippe Dufour
The goal of the "Naissance d'une Montre" project was to give to a very special student the opportunity to build from scratch a mechanical watch using only traditional techniques and tools. And what better teachers and mentors than Greubel Forsey and Philippe Dufour to accompany this long endeavour as it has now been 5 years that student Michel Boulanger started to work on his "Montre Ecole", the watch that symbolises all his efforts and what he has learned.
At TheWATCHES.tv, we have been privilege to follow this great project from almost its very start and today the watch at the center of all this is about to be put on auction by Christie's in Hong Kong on the 30th of May. This is naturally a one-of and we are sure that the lucky collector that will make this acquisition knows precisely what he is buying; something totally unique and a noble cause!
A very important dimension of this project was to document all the different phases and be able to share this knowledge to future generations of watchmakers, as there is a important risk that all this know-how is sadly disappearing. The proceeds of the auction will go to a foundation whose role is precisely to help this notion of transmission of knowledge and it is very interesting that something as important as this is taken care of by Greubel Forsey and not some power brand or even the Swiss state…

It's been demanded of me that I give a Greece update here. It has been very, very busy, and for the last week I have neither emailed my husband or done anything that wasn't art at all. There have been no classes this past week and it has been nice.
Last Friday, we went on that nice, long hike. This week is the super holy, super exciting Greek Easter week. I have been making daily journeys to the church to listen to the church services and also to just admire its beauty. After all, it is the second oldest church in the Christian world built by none other than saint Helen and her son Saint Constantine. Pretty cool stuff. I really like being in there, though I'm a little wary of the different traditions, and things, so I always have to watch out a little with what I am doing.
I have spent many, many waking hours this last week working on my photography. Yesterday alone, I worked for well over 15 hours on darkroom and digital prints. It was a of fun though and I plan on doing it again for part of today. I really got a lot done though. Now, the plan is to take as many photos as I can over the next couple of days. I'm looking at taking about 1000 photos mostly with my digital camera.
Yesterday, my friends and I bought some Easter egg dye and we dyed thirty eggs. It was incredible. They are so beautiful. Imagine what it's like to dye Easter eggs with a bunch of art students. I have some now that I am going to take photographs of because they are so, so beautiful. Tomorrow, am going to take the boat to Athens to spend the end of Easter there. I am promised a lively trip and a lively day, so we'll have to see what befalls. I'm looking forward to going to the museums there. So that's the update for now. I'll keep you all posted.

Hello, Today my day was really cool. I woke up straight and went to the bus stop (an hour early, but that was just a good excuse to get a bogatsa). We got on the bus and went to a town in the middle of the island called Lefkes. We got some food there and then went out on a hike.
The day was perfect because the sun was out but the clouds were out as well and because we were at a really high elevation, the wind was blowing. From there we walked to the house of a man that has now died, but he endowed the school with a scholarship. He is supposed to be very, very sweet and he had a garden with every type of tree you could think of (figs, peaches, plums, almonds, grapes, olives, cherries, etc.) It was really, really incredible. I took several photos, but it was a place that had the feeling of incredible care. I wish that he was still alive working the earth the way that he has.
After that we walked all along the country side up mountains and along goat paths that were so incredible (yet so spin!) We walked and walked and walked and the finally stopped for lunch in an olive grove that is older than America (much older, it's 1,000 years old). It was incredible and I marveled in the olive trees and the grape vines. It was just incredible! After that, we walked to John's house and had some fresh ginger lemonade. It was such a wonderful day and I really can't describe what's it's like to walk 15 miles across such an incredible Greek island. I invite you to come see the donkey paths of Greece!

Hello, Here is another quick word from me to give you the news from Greece. Yesterday I had a really good day. I went into the darkroom and got some really good photos printed, which ended up being a really, really good thing for me. I'm very excited to have a portfolio when I get home! Today, I went on a 15 mile hike. We went from one side of the island to the other and then on farther than that. I have attached a photo of me from the hike to this email. Along the way I picked up enough herbs for many dinners to come. They were 1.) bay leaves, 2.) oregano, 3.) rosemary, 4.) thyme 5.) chamomile. I really had a good time on the hike. My toes are now fully blistered and my ankles swollen, but who else can say that they hiked across a Greek island today? Enjoy the photo and keep reading my blog. Chris

Today, I actually went into the darkroom with my instructor, and we went over how to develop and then did an entire session together for three hours. It was hugely amazing. I learned so much and I found out where it was that I was falling down so many times before. Basically, I have rehabilitated as an artist in the field of photography. I bought the really expensive paper (17 Euros for 10 sheets, but it can be cut) that I can use to get real results, and that's exactly what I got. I was so happy and excited and just relieved to discover that I CAN do my art, the one that I love and have held so close to me forever. I now have at my disposal any way I want to get my images shown to the world. It's just incredible, and if you could see the difference in my work now and…ever, you would be so proud of me. It's so exciting.
This morning, I printed a photo of a Cypress Alley, and it was cool. The proof prints were ok, but when I actually made a final print, I took it out into the light for the first time and actually said, "That's beautiful," about my own work, it really was a spiritual and mythic moment…I LOVE it!
I fell in love with the process of photography, but I was tricking myself into believing that I wouldn't be able to do it and that I really didn't like it, but I was so dead wrong. My impatience and frustration all dissipated as I watched my images appear under the developer while I watched the clock and agitated the tray. It was SOOOOOOO amazing. I just adore it! I am addicted now and I have prints now of another subject that are just ready for the last little chemical touch (selenium toning).
I have also gone through all of my negatives (that I was convinced were horrible) and discovered several photos that I want to work on. I'm so excited. I have a series of three donkey photos that I want to work on and I also have a portrait of my favorite Greek person on the planet. I have plenty of work to do, and I know that I will spend the next month in the darkroom creating some of the most incredible images possible!
I love it. I am just so, so happy that I'm so sorted out now and that John and Liz were there to pull me out. It's so great. I'm sorry for using the expensive paper, but the way that it rehabbed me and really showed me what I can do, I'm willing to not eat for weeks to keep up this addiction! In other news, I went to painting today and did really well. I have had several paintings in progress and it's been a little interesting balancing them all, but to my great surprise today I actually just turned around and finished them all. They have all had their finishing touches put on them, and I like them so much as well. As soon as they dry, I am going to take them off their stretchers and roll them up to bring home to you. They are so cool, and I am getting better (no famous museum artist or anything), but I'm at least able to use it as a medium to express myself. Additionally, I got a lot done on my mosaic, and it was nice. I am getting close to putting some of the finishing touches on it and then I will pour the cement and get it ready to bring home! That will be so cool!
And if that wasn't enough, I had a really good writing class and I am convinced that I can conquer any type of poetry now, but I'm enjoying writing things to my husband, so I will continue to do my collected poems of my life with my husband. So that's how my day went!

It's been so long since I've actually sat down and gotten everything that I have to say written, so here I am again ready to pour out everything that I have. I have realized that I have an exhibition to prepare for here in the next four weeks.
Starting on Sunday, I plan to be in Crete for 5 days or so and then I will be back here working like mad for the next three weeks trying to pull together everything that I have been working so hard here for. That involves a lot really to.
I am starting to write up and follow very closely the products that I wish to get here, and there really are a lot of things that I have riding on needing to be done. I love it though because I know that as soon as I come out the other end of this experience I will have grown so much as a person. It just thrills me so much to know that. I was in the darkroom printing the other day and something struck me very hard and very profoundly. I'm realizing now that I am paying for all of the shortcuts that I had taken as a photographer. I don't know what happened, but somewhere along the way, I took shortcuts in the darkroom and my lack of photographic knowledge dug me into a hole.
I have spent the last three weeks rediscovering that there is a hole and then finding where the bottom is. Now that I have reached the very bottom, I decided just to start over again from the top. John Pack is a super amazing photographer and he has studied with two of my most admired photographers of all times Ansel Adams and Jerry Uelsmann. Anyway, he has taken the care to really take me under his wing and help me really go where I want with photography. I went to the darkroom with him today and he gave me tips and answered some questions that I have had since day one of being in the darkroom, basically, he has saved my photographic career. I am now learning so much, and the learning curve of where I am at with photography is so amazingly steep that I can't even imagine where it is going. I'm so excited. My discovery of myself was that I was missing some of the basic parts of photography and I became so frustrated with the holes that I couldn't see that I quit altogether. However, that just got me deeper and deeper into the soup. Mainly the reason was that because I am a photographer and an artist and I had become so discouraged with my lack of technique (and ability to see my own holes) that I had quit art altogether and took up watching movies and doing other things. I was at a place artistically speaking three years that brings me to tears at the thought of it. Really and truthfully it has taken me these 7 weeks here in Greece to rediscover who I was before I decided to quit.
The help of the people here at the Center is so incredible and I am ready to forge ahead with where I am going now. I am SO SO psyched to actually go into the dark and make a print in an hour or so that I just CAN'T wait. I have come up with a photographic project here. I want a portfolio of 10 excellent prints. It is going to my Greece silver portfolio. What I am going to do is devote a roll of film (or more if that doesn't do it), to one single subject. Then I am going to print that subject in the most artistically sound way possible. I will bring home 5 copies of each of the prints. I just can't wait to work with them. My subjects currently are. A portrait of a donkey A portrait of the donkey produce man A portrait of Paroikia's cobbler A photo of an olive tree A lily An archway A photo of a church More will be added soon, but that's where I'm going.
Part of being detached from life here is the fact that I can think about things that don't often come into my head while I am worried about more practical things. Just for your interest, here are some of the thoughts and concepts that just continually appear in my head over and over. I think it is interesting that different words, nouns and concepts appear in almost all languages. Not necessarily that people have a word for chair (though it is odd that all cultures around the world have found it necessary to sit on something and to have a word for what you sit on), but I'm talking about more abstract things. The best example is the word for love. People in English say that there is no way to describe love, but it is obviously a thing because it appears in all languages throughout history. And, if it didn't appear in a language, how much would that limit the ability of the people of that culture to experience that emotion? Odd thought eh?
Since being in such an ancient land, I keep wondering to myself what they are going to find when they dig for us. You know, Ancient Greece was a great empire at one point, but even it fell and had it's dark ages. We are finding poems from some of the greatest poets in ancient times on the bodies of mummies because the Christians didn't find it necessary to pass down the traditions. What if in the future people look at us and think that our ideas of things are not appropriate for the culture. There is a song that says that they are going to find white plastic lawn chairs when they dig for us, but seriously, what will it be. Who will the famous poets be and will someone take the time to actually preserve us and our ideas to such an extent that the people of the future at least don't make our mistakes (obviously not because look at who we just elected as the pope.) I'm also wondering if our culture really is so full of hubrus that we believe that we will survive, that our culture will endure through anything.
Hello Bush, read some history books while you're at it. I can take you to some ancient ruins not 100 meters from here that were from a civilization far greater than ours (they even had running water and flush toilets). Where are the places to be going to have been in our century? Who is going to make them and how? Who of us are going to be remembered as the Picassos and the Degas? In other news, I had written down in my notebook that I should say something about the Pope. For whatever reason, being so close to Italy and Europe and the countries that the Pope had worked so hard to make tranquil, I have felt a very deep connection with what is going on in Catholicism. I'm just amazed at how much a unifying thing it is (as it was meant to be all the way back to Constantine). I think that our last Pope was a really, really great man and that we are regressing with where we are going. John Paul was able to really help keep his country free. There were so many things about him that were off (like that he was the first non-Italian pope in 455 years), but he really understood on some level that he would be able to really do some good. I think that he was one of the most calming factors in Europe during his reign.
Our new Pope, I believe, is his opposite, so it will be interesting to see where this goes. The position is famous for being corrupt, and I believe that John Paul was able to stay mostly good despite any crap around him. We'll have to see what this one says and does. Maybe he'll keep it all together or maybe he'll lead Catholicism into where the Greek Orthodox church is going, just look at the scandals and crap going on there. (Don't I sound like a political girl now?) A couple of other things that have come up with people here that I noted down to at least comment on. America is dumb, really dumb.
Sometimes I wonder if the people in government are taught history in school and if they just forget it. Look at what we are doing. I can understand in the 1700 colonizing America to gain more land and power and what have you. Of course we took the land from the Indians, but we were much stonger than them, and there were a lot less of them back then. Just look at how we can justify all this. Anyway, America, I really think is trying to colonize around the world again. Only we're not even looking into countries that could be of any benefit to us (hello, it gets to be 140 degrees in Iraq), we are doing it for much more corrupt reasons.
Here we have men and women being killed in the Middle East for all of the wrong, wrong reasons, and now we have to stay there to hold their hands. Hello America, can we move on from the colonization idea into a new era please? We have enough land on our own and what do we want with Iraq, there ARE such things as electric cars. Ok, now all of the lines of my notebook are clean and I can talk about other things.
Yesterday we had our art history class in the church. It was amazing. I was standing in a church that was personally built by Helen, finished by Constantine and then later remodeled by Justinian. Isn't that amazing. There are so many amazing things about the church. For example, it has the only standing Greek baptisery because they decided sometime after the founding of the church that they should do the baptizing of children (hence why it was so hard to get baptized in the Greek Wedding movie). There are also so many other things. We saw the tomb of a woman that was made a Saint. She is from this island, and there is a footprint from her in the marble of the church (from many, many years ago). We also saw a healing icon and all of the gold that was donated to the church due to it's healing powers. It was a super powerful church, and it is thought to be the most beautiful church in the Byzantine style.
I'm told that there isn't even a church in Athens as nice as it because THIS one was built by Constantine and his Mother. I have been informed about Easter here. It is really a week worth of celebrations and I have the film ready for all of the incredible things they do. People make pilgrimages to this island because of the church and there may be a million people here. I am so excited to eat lamb and just get the groove on. Easter is better than Christmas here by 500 times and I can't wait to take part in it! And now that I've gone off on so many political and religious tangents, let's come back to reality.

For whatever reason, I had an urge to look up the lyrics to this song and post them on my blog... Enjoy them. I LOVE this song...
Third Eye Blind - Story Of A Girl Lyrics (Refrain) This is a story of a girl Who cried a river and drown the whole world But while she looks so sad in photographs I absolutely love her when she smiles (Verse)
How many days in a year She woke up with hope But she only found tears And I can be so insincere Making the promise is never for real Is long as she stays there waiting Wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes How many days disappear You look in the mirror so how do you choose Clothes never wear as well as next day Your hair never fell quite the same way You never seem to run out of things to say
(Refrain) This is the story of a girl Who cried a river an drown the whole world But while she looks so sad in photographs I absolutely love her when she smiles (Verse)
How many lovers would stay Just to put up with this shit day after day How do we wind up this way Watching the mouths of the words that we say As long as we stand here waiting Wearing the clothes and the soles of her shoes Clothes never wear as well as next day Your hair never falls quite the same way You never seem to run out of things to say (Refrain)
This is the story of a girl who cried a river and drownd the whole world but while she looks so sad in photographs I absolutely love her when she smiles (Instrumental)
(Part of a verse) And your clothes never wear as well the next day And your hair never falls the same the next day You never seem to run out of things to say
(Refrain) This is the story of a girl Who cried a river And drown the whole world And while she looks so sad in photographs I absolutely love her (Refrain)
This is the story of a girl Who?s pretty face she hid from the world And while she looks so sad in photographs I absolutely love her (Refrain)
This is a story of a girl Who cried a river And drown the whole world But while she looked so sad in photograohs I absolutely love her when she smiles When she smiles

Things are going really well here. On Thursday, I worked and worked away and got a lot done on painting, that really made me happy because I am almost done with my third painting. That is really exciting for me too because I worked so hard on it, and every time I look at it I realize how much I actually like it, so that is a good thing. It is a reflection of a Greek column and a flower.
The painting after that that I'm doing is a calla lily with two leaves. It is a really good painting as well, and it is actually starting to develop into something. The next painting is a painting of very abstract things. The only part of it that is really an object is my hand. I like it because it is just a painting I am doing to play with the paint and see what I can do, so I really like it. I started my Impressionism painting today, and it just turned out terrible.
The paintings I have been doing were with what is called the earth palette. Basically, I have been using yellow ochre, burnt sienna, black and white to paint. It DOES work and you can even get blue and purple from those three colors. The painting I am working on now has an entirely new palette, and it is just driving me up the wall! I don't understand it very well, and I am horrible at mixing the colors. I managed to get most of the painting to look really nice, but one of the most important parts of it is just a mucky purple brown color. I didn't like that. It is a painting of flowers on a chair.
The flowers came out very nice (except that I was painting poppies and they look like roses) but the chair is the UGLY part. Also, I kind of figured out how to mix color in the very end, but the background is hot pink. I'm going to have to just keep adding layers of paint on top I thing because what I have right now (at least on the chair) doesn't work very well. But I'm working on that. Also, I have a sketch drawn for another painting of a boat! In the future, I plan to copy a Greek vase painting, paint my boat, paint a church dome and do a tree and a Greek city landscape. I'm excited for them all. After that, I will come home and buy all of the paints I need to just make some incredible paintings at home.
I took my first two paintings off of their stretchers and got them ready for the ride home! I'm excited about all of the photography that I'm doing now. I have now taken a lot of photos, but I have to finish developing them and making contact sheets and everything. As soon as I see them I will know what I think about them, but I'm sure that there are some things in there that I like. I'm excited about doing my portfolio of black and white photos. I also have another 500 or so digital images that I need to sort through and decide what to work on. It is going to be real cool to bring them home (I may only print a few of them here though because it is really expensive).
Yesterday, we had a guest come who did some lectures. One of them was on the mummy portraits that were painted 2,000 years ago by Greek painters and the other one was her take on a painting that they have in London that is supposedly fake. It was really cool to listen to her talk as she was very knowledgeable.
I spent most of the day yesterday with my Greek friend here. She took me for a 2-mile walk and we found some really nice spots to take photos. On the way back, we were teaching each other Greek and English. We walked by the shop of a man whose photo I wanted to take. She turned to the man and said in Greek, "This girl passes by your shop every day and wants nothing more than to make a photograph of you." He smiled and was very kind. I hope the photo comes out, but if it doesn't I can always go back and talk to him in Greek myself!
Last night we had a mid term exhibition and we each talked about how we had improved as artists.
Today, we were supposed to go on a hike with John, but he wasn't feeling well so his wife put us on the bus and sent us off to another town. We scaled a very steep mountain and it was really fun.
I liked coming home though because I have gotten a lot done since I got back. I fully cleaned my painting studio, and I know don't have to think about my painting work until Tuesday at least (but I'm having so much fun there I will probably do more before them). It was fun though and this man stood outside my studio and watched me paint and stretch canvases for several hours. He was fascinated with me. FUNNY!
I did some work-study work then and here I am writing. After this, I am going to go eat dinner and then go to an art opening. To make a very long story short, one of the Greek ladies here made a video of our school making our earth works, and she is showing it tonight. And then after that, I am going to go to a concert in Greek. That should be fun! And other than that, there is just generally a lot of work/play.
Chris,
It is so wonderful to get your e-mails, and now read your blog! I am so, so happy for you. I want to come and do what you are doing so badly now. Maybe I should once I have a little more of my work turned over...we will see if that can happen. Today I am working out in the country close to a house that my Uncle just bought, it is a fantastic day here in Missouri. It has really been beautiful, but I am sure it does not even compare with the sites that you see every day! It was great to read about the burrow in your e-mail. I think it would make a great print for putting in my new house/condo in the bathroom, maybe you could make some prints and I could buy one from you or barter for a sculpture. I am planning on driving to Oregon next week, and then the following weekend I go to L.A. for a real estate seminar and following, I am going to mexico for 3 weeks to learn the jeans trade. That is what I am up to, but I mainly just wanted to say my postulates are with you, and I am always so happy to hear and read of your adventures.
It's been a while since I've written, and I just wanted to say hello to everyone that means so much to me at home. I am doing so well here. I am super busy, but that's the type of life that I enjoy, and there is plenty to see and learn.
I am working very hard on my painting. I have just started my seventh painting here, and it is an Impressionistic painting. If you thought those people didn't have to have skill to paint the way that they do, you were wrong. It ended up in total disaster, and I am now just waiting for the paint to dry so that I can redo most of it. At least I learned eh?
I've taken nine rolls of photos over the past two days, and I am waiting for the film to dry so that I can lock myself into a dark room and produce some beautiful pictures. I have also attacked meter in poetry, and I am writing standard poetry in many of the forms that have been used for up to 7,000 years ago. That's been an adventure also to say the least. I had the day off today, and I went to the other side of the island with some of my friends and we scaled some rocks up to the top of the hill. When we got there, we found some ancient ruins and it was a lot of fun. After that, we went back down to the beach. It was a beautiful beach because it was actually a sand bar, and you could walk into the ocean and only go up to your knees. My friends went out about a half of a kilometer, and it still didn't get deep. It was really fun though. I have now driven around the entire island. That's kind of cool to know.
Last weekend, I went on an island adventure to the island of Santorini. It is by far the most popular Greek island and we had fun. It is actually an old volcano, and it is the number one delegate for being the island of Atlantis (because almost all of the island sank and a volcanic eruption 100,00 times greater than Mt. St. Helens and caused a title wave that wiped out most of civilization in Greece).
I am planning a trip next weekend with my friend. We are going to go to Crete for our spring break. We are going to rent a tent and pitch it there. I'm excited to see all of the ruins then.
Other than that, things are just going well here on Paros. I went for a walk the other day and discovered that the poppies are blooming here. That's an exciting thing to. The fields are all deep crimson, and I just loved it. I took my two camera and sat in the middle of the field taking photos until my hearts content.
.
Tonight I am going to an art show and a concert, then it's back to the dark room for some more work. Tomorrow I will play in the sun and work even more. Greece is wonderful, and I hope that these emails inspire you to travel more (especially to here). It is totally worth it. I am going to try to attach one of the photos I took in Santorini, so Enjoy! Feel free to let me know how things are going. Also don't forget that I post writing on my blog about every other day. The address is

Sorry that I couldn't get an email to you last night. After my photography class and my painting class and my art history class and then my Greek class, I got down to the computer lab, and things just kept going wrong. First, I turned on the lights, and that was enough to throw a circuit. I then had to go searching the school looking for the box, which I did end up handling. Then, I got onto the computers and the Internet was down. I tried to reset the dynamic IP address, but I think I did it wrong, and the computer got really mad at me. Then, I decided that I was just going to work madly and get things done on writing, and I tried to connect to the hard drive that has ALL my work on it, and it was totally down. I took it as a sign, and I just walked away. I ended up cleaning my house and getting a little bit of some extra sleep. It was actually kind of nice.
I had an incredible day yesterday and a super-incredible day today. I'll tell you about them, but first I have to tell you about the less incredible thing that happened today. I really have to communicate with someone about it, because even talking it over with the people here hasn't helped, and maybe, I thought, talking to you about it may help me, so bear with me if this isn't exactly pleasant. I am doing a painting for impressionism, so I was going to go an collect flowers. John told us that there were some really good flowers around the cemetery. We wanted to look at the cemetery, so I went there with four other friends and we went in and looked around and took some photos. We weren't going to go in because they were doing a service, but we decided to work around the service. We were walking around, and we noticed that people were buried with personal items (photos, olive oil, cleaning supplies, etc.) in a box next to their heads. We noticed that all of the graves were fairly recent. At the service, there was a woman in total and absolute grief over what was going on. THEN we realized what was going on. It is tradition in Greece (a thing of the Greek Orthodox church) that three years after a person dies, that they dig up the grave and give the remains to the family. They do it to save the space in the cemetery (it was really small). They were digging up the bones of a husband to give to his wife. They pulled the body out of the ground and put it in the basket and carried it off. This man walked right by us with the body. I was so upset by it, so we were going to leave the cemetery as we started to walk out, they did another one of them and I ended up seeing that body too. Needless to say, I was totally shocked at the idea and it was really odd. It totally put the shock of death and what they do with people and the fact that a body doesn't always have life in it. This wasn't a bad thing, and it was an experience that I probably needed to run into, but I just really needed to talk it out with someone!
Other than that, things are going really, really well. Yesterday, I went through the whole day having fun. I took some photos and did some experiments in the darkroom. I also decided where my work is going here in photography and I am ready to get moving on it and really make it what I want it to be. Because I do a lot of travel and things, I am going to have different portfolios of the places that I have been, and I am going to make a portfolio that communicates what Greece is to me.
In addition to that, I am going to do some prints of Night Photography, Still Lifes and other things, but that's where my photography is going. I was really trilled with that. Then, I went to painting. I have been working on a painting for weeks, and I was making some big breakthroughs with it, but it just was taking forever, and I didn't know where it was going, so I really just got a grasp of it and then I worked like MAD to get it going. I made a beautiful painting, and it just now needs all of it's finishing touches and it will be done. I painting for hours and in all of my spare time yesterday. It was so exciting. I got so into my painting that today I skipped my classes until 3:30 to just sit there and paint. I made so much progress and I am finally starting to get pretty caught up on the paintings I am working on. I adore painting, and I can do it pretty proficiently. I'm so excited about it! I'm working on an impressionistic painting next. I'm so excited about it. I am painting a bouquet of flowers on a chair. It should be nice!
I learned a lot of Greek last night, and I realized as I was walking down the street today listening to people talk that I really know quite a bit of Greek. I'm at the point now that I can pick out certain words that I don't know in a conversation, and I am really good at following along what is going on. I took a nice long walk today to the hardware store to buy some paint supplies.
On the way back, I went to the store and bought as much fruit and vegetables I could stand. I'm so excited to eat them all up now. And one of the coolest parts of the day was the fact that the poppies here are blooming. I'm actually very excited about this. They bloom in the fields, and sometimes a whole field can be totally crimson with them. It's not a great poppy year, but with a lot of work, I found a field, and I was out in this barley field laying down trying to get some great photos of poppies. It was actually really nice.
Can't you imagine me photographing the poppies and then picking them for my painting tomorrow? It's so exciting! I did a drama workshop tonight, and it was fun. We're going to do a performance. I also decided to go to Crete in the next week or two. I'm so excited about it, but basically, my friends and I are going to go camp on Crete. I'm so excited about that. I also got a taste of what light is made up of. We played with lights and made the colors red, yellow, green, blue, cyan and magenta. It was crazy! Life is so nice here…!

I think that there is a time in every life of every artist where there is a struggle. Actually, I'm quite sure that there are many of them. However, I'm talking about that very first one. The one that if the artist doesn't make it through it that he isn't going to make it as an artist at all. I think that it's a general struggle to find out what there is to communicate about and how he is going to do it. If there is a time to give up, I think that it is now. I know that I have reached this point in my photo career. Somehow, it is comforting to me to know that I have made it this far. I have actually done a very, very good job doing what I do here, but the problem is that when you run into a really big struggle with something, generally people feel that they should just quit. I'm at that point with traditional photography. It's aided even more by the fact that the art form that I have loved so much and tried to hard to work in is losing it's spot in the world to the world of megapixels. I know that it's OK, and I even agree with it, but I need to work on the mastery of my own art before I can move onto the megapixel world. I've alluded to this many times before and I'll probably talk about it many more times again, but I'm just talking about breakthroughs that I have had.
Today was incredibly interesting in that world. I had a lot of things go wrong (for example, I washed my memory card and batteries in the washing machine, I accidentally ruined a roll of film and I had some other general problems). I came back to the office quite upset and frazzled about what had happened. I ran into John Pack, and he told me that I should just keep going. I knew that, but it was reassuring to hear it.
So, rather than get upset about any of it, I decided to push through it all and make it work. I dried off the memory card and put it in my camera to find out that it worked perfectly. The batteries only need to be recharged, and I went out and took photos with the roll of film. I now have about four or five more rolls of film planned out to take before the end of the day. I went for a long walk to a Byzantine chapel that has been carved into the side of the mountain.
It was just lovely. I took some photos, and really cooled off enough to get something done. I realized that I didn't not know as much as I thought. I was working very hard thinking that I didn't know much when I found out that I really knew a lot. Go figure! I'm all revved up and ready to actually get some photos taken. I went back out with my camera and got some good shots of things around me. I decided that the only way to do things was to just take photos of whatever I enjoyed. I did that, and It really made me happy.
Today, I was able to go to Byzantine churches for the first time ever. It made me so incredibly excited because I went around to the Church of a Hundred Doors. It is just an amazing church here that is the oldest church in Christianity (that has been continually used). It was built by Helen, the mother of Constantine. It was so amazing.
My friend, Ageliki took me there and bought two candles and we lit them and looked around. I had a really good time. I completely enjoyed it there. I really had an experience in the building. It is really amazing to me how a place can be holy. I loved it.
When I was taking photos, I went to a little chapel. I had to walk down the side of a cliff next to a very secluded beach spot to get there, but I did it, and it was really nice. It was a chapel that was build over the spot that Athena used to be worshiped on the island. It was beautiful and half of it was made out of the cliff actually and the other half of it was actually made out of marble. It was incredible. No one was in there, but I watched the candle burn and I took some photos and left. The whole chapel was surrounded by flowers. What a beautiful scene. I am looking at where to take my portfolio here, and I really think that I am going to do things that remind me of Greek life. Marble and churches and doors and people. I'll tell you more when it gets more and more concrete! \ I had a figure drawing breakthrough today. I was having a hard time with it, just didn't want to be there, but I stayed. At the end, the model did a pose for 15 minutes, and I drew and drew away, and it was just neat at the end. I'm starting to get better and better. It is making me happy that I can do it!
And…tonight I did a drama class that was nice. We acted out scenes from Greek mythology. It's only a workshop for 4 hours, but I'm really loving it! I've got to get some photography and painting done here. Lots of love Chris

OK. I had a beautiful weekend this weekend. On Friday, I got on the boat at 11:50 and headed to Santorini. It was beautiful. We stopped at the island of Naxos on the way, and I got to take a few photos from the boat.
Then we headed to the island of Ios, which is supposedly the party island around here. From there we headed straight to Santorini. It was one of the most beautiful places that I have ever seen. It used to be a huge whole island, but when the volcano blew it apart in 1,700 BC, it turned into one ring and a few smaller islands. The sides of the island are sheer cliffs that go up probably about 1,000 feet, and there are only a few places that there are beaches! The beaches are all black and red sand and rocks because of all of the volcanic activity. We got there in the afternoon and we watched the sun set over the island's caldera, it was beautiful. I also quickly found a really good place to get a suvlaki. We then talked and sat around drinking good wine and eating good olives. We found a great hotel to stay in that was only 12 Euro per person per night. It overlooked the water on the other side (not the caldera), and it was just fabulous. I was very happy to be there.
On the three hour ferry ride on the way over, I ran into some people that had been backpacking Europe for some time. One was a girl from Canada. She went to school in the south of France for a semester, and when it was done in December, she trekked around Europe from then on. It actually sounded really cool. She ended up being my roommate, and it was totally awesome because she gave me really good travel advice and reinstilled in me my feeling of being a unique human. She told me that she thought that there was something different about me when she met me. It was really nice to hear from someone else.
I got some really great travel tips from her, and she invited me to come and visit her in her home in BC (Victoria) when I got back. As I have other friends up there, I am going to do it! I also met a man from Australia that lives in London because he wants to travel. It was very nice to meet him, he was a good person. There was also a man from Michigan there. He has been traveling for months, and he is going to finish up on June 8th. We are heading to Prague at around the same time, so we may meet up again there, and I think that would be awesome!
On Saturday, we went to the museum there. We looked at artwork that had been there since before the explosion in the 7th century BC. It was pretty amazing stuff. I loved it. I am totally amazed at the Minoan culture. I am going to copy one of their paintings. You can find out a little bit about it at this website. We then went to a black sand beach, and we fell asleep in the sun for several hours.
After that, we went walking around and I took some photos. We walked down deep into the caldera, and it was interesting. I got some really good photos taken at night. This morning, we were going to go to a very important site which was where they were actually doing the excavations of the prime town from 1700 BC, but apparently it is closed for the next 18 months, so we didn't get to go there! Instead, everyone in the group went their own separate way. Many people went shopping, but I went to find the donkeys that people ride into the caldera (the center of the old volcano). I wanted to ride one, but I was looking to actually take some photos. However, some guy talked me into paying 3 Euro for a ride. It was awesome. Actually, it was kind of interesting. I rode a donkey down the 600 steps into the caldera. It was fun. However, when I got down there, I knew that I was going to have to walk back up because I didn't want to pay to go back up. It was really dumb for me to do, but at least I KNEW that I was being gypped. I ended up having a lot of fun and walking up. I took lots of photos of the donkeys along the way. It was a real dream come true.
After that, I was tired and it was time to come home, so I spent time not taking photos, but walking around and shopping. I loved it. I bought nothing, but I got to be a tourist for a while, and it was really fun. Then we came home. I am so glad to be back in Paros. Not that I didn't love Santorini, but I know Paros so much better, and it less full of people, and it is just one of my permanent homes. Time for me to get back to work. Chris

Hello, It's been a while since I've written, but I'm going to try to describe what's been going on here as accurately as possible. I will also try to write more, but I get really into describing things and such, and by the time I am done working (sometimes at 2AM) I'm exhausted and ready to just fall over in hopes that I can make it to my next class at 8AM. Though that sounds like torture, it is exactly the correct balance for me in life, and I am enjoying it more than I can possible use written words to describe.
First of all, I must say that "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" is as accurate a movie on the Greek lifestyle as can me made. I laugh every day at things that come up that are so accurately described in that movie. I just can't tell you how amazingly funny it is. And the name Niko is everywhere. I was at a festival last week and everywhere I turned there was a person named Niko! Anyway, if you want to get an idea (culturally) of what I am getting here check it out. It's accurate right down to the lamb roasting on Easter HMMMMM (can't wait). Speaking on the food line, I must divert to talk about food. I must say that about 80% of the outside of class conversations that I have involve food. 1.) good ways to make it, 2.) good ways to eat it, 3.) good things to eat 4.) good places to eat, 5.) the general goodness of it and so on. I suggest incorporating Greek food 100% into your diet. It is hard to get used to at first, but it is much worth it. And I must say that the Greeks are actually some of the healthiest people on the planet (at least they were before things like Cheetos became available here). The first two ingredients in every Greek meal are 1.) Olive oil and 2.) Garlic. Without those, you are completely lost. Together, they make a purely Greek and delectable starter that is the beginning of any meal. Many Greeks consume 50 kilos of olive oil a year (note that a kilo is 2.2 pounds). That said, I do miss tacos, and they are so rare here that I was talking to a Greek the other day about them, and they were completely unknown to her. Needless to say, I explained it in terms of pita bread and lamb! I'm not kidding! I have had unforgettable experiences in food since eating here. First of all, there are the cheapest food item. Suvlake's. I love them. They are a baked, warm pita bread with your choice of lamb, pork and chicken inside. Then there are your choices of vegetables (never get them with onions). On top of that, there is this stuff called Tutziki. Needless to say, I will be eating a lot of them when I am at home. Tutziki is yoghurt with garlic and cucumbers. Disgusting sounding, I know, but actually quite enjoyable! I got to eat musaka (please excuse all spellings, as I only know them with the Greek alphabet, which doesn't always translate) the other day. I loved it, and I will be eating it forever.
Needless to say, I have been doing some cooking at home myself. Every day after my afternoon classes and before my evening classes, I make pesto spaghetti (I love this stuff), bread fried in olive oil with cheese melted on top, fried zucchini and fried cheese. I look forward to this part of my day every day, and I wish that it would last forever! I do need to expand my horizons a little though, but it's rather hard to do with one frying pan, one plate, a fork, a butter knife and a spoon! My friend, when she was here, scared me by telling me that the ketchup was really bad (which it is), but the other food more than makes up for it. And all of that isn't even starting to talk about the pastries that I get at the bakery. I like to just go sit in front of the bakery and smell it. If I know someone going, I will walk with them, and yes, I am guilty of eating a bugatza, tiropita, milopita, croissant, or chocolate croissant every once in a while!
On the art side of life, I am making some pretty incredible breakthroughs in all areas at once, and it is overwhelming to me (in a good way) every day when I am in class. I realize how much I have progressed, and I am just so happy to know that I am making such incredible progress. I still wonder what I am going to look like on the other side, but I know that if I progressed no more at this point that I would be incredibly happy.
This week, I worked with my photography teacher with some personal one-on-one time again, and we are starting to understand what it is that I am doing that I shouldn't be doing, and my knowledge and professional quality of products is coming way up. I was getting some good photos before I came here, but they were by accident, I can now produce more consistent results (at least with a little more practice). I am going to study many areas of photography while I am here. I have already done some work with night photography and I have also done some work in the studio. I plan to do many still lifes and also to do some portraits. I have pretty much decided that I am going to do a series of architecture, and I am going to try to get about 15 prints to go in my portfolio along that line before I leave.
In digital photography, I have taken almost 2,000 photos, and there are more to come. I have some final photos that when I print, will go in my portfolio. I am so excited about them. I am pretty dedicated and excited to set up my own studio at home. I may lose the way of the darkroom in some ways when I am complete. I feel that transition here. Most importantly, I have gained the confidence here to be able to work as a photographer. It has been a dream of mine, but I was sure I couldn't do it. I now see it happening right before my eyes, and
I am excited about it. I know that I can make money doing it, and I am very excited! I am currently working on 5 paintings, and I have three more in the works. I have two that are completely done, and just waiting to be taken off their stretchers to come home for you. I hear that I am making incredible progress in painting, and I really feel that way too. Especially considering that I was scared of it when I came here, and now every spare second I have is in my studio. What a wonderful art form.
I have also had the great pleasure of working with one of the world's mosaic masters. She had done quite a bit of study on art, and she is this incredible artist. I admire her so much, and I understand her on so many levels. She is teaching me more than I could ever ask to know, and my mosaic is coming out beautifully. I plan to do more when I come home, as commissions in the area are possible. I saw a mosaic that she is working on for a church. She has spent probably more than a thousand hours on it, and I just adore it. I will have to take picture of it to show to you!
I also attacked meter the other day and was able to write a poem using perfect meter and rhyming. My writing instructor was impressed, and I have tackled yet another area that was scary to me! I have officially completed the Odyssey, which is one of the most incredible books in history, I love it! I am now reading the poems of a Greek poet from the very same island that I am on. I visited the cave he used to write in and he is credited with the invention of iambic pentameter. I love the poems, and we will be doing Sappho next! I am going to tackle the Iliad next. I am very much so excited about that. I know through what I am developing so much here, and I LOVE it every day.
Last night, I worked with a good Greek friend of mine Ageliki on taking some studio photos. She is just incredible, and she promises to give me some Greek recipes. I hope to see her married soon, as that's what all Greeks want, and she wants to come to America at some point, so you may meet her. These are the things that I am doing. Going any further into specific would drive you and me crazy with more and more pages of my rambling writing.
The next and most exciting hi-light is that in about an hour I will departing on a boat for the island of Santorini. I explained all about it earlier, but I am so excited about taking photos there, I know that I will come back with a memory cards stuffed and full! So on that note, I am signing off until I get back on Sunday night!

I am going to go to Santorini this weekend. Here is some more data on it. It is the most popular island in Greece. I fact, during he summer season, the whole island is so packed that you can't even walk in the streets! Almost all photos of Greece the world over were taken on this island. I am told that it is just incredible beautiful. It is not that far away from here about 2 hours by boat. It is going to be beautiful this weekend. It is pretty much considered to be the island of Atlantis because it sank at about the right time 2,000 BC. The island is actually a volcano. It used to be really big, but it exploded so hard that it imploded, and it is now just a rim around it. The blast caused tsunamis and earthquakes really badly. I think the blast was about 10,000 times greater than that of Mt. St. Helens, and that may be an under exaggeration! There is a museum there where they just dug down into the ash and whole towns were preserved like in Pompeii. However, there are no human bodies. The people were smart enough to get off the island before it exploded. It's got castles and frescos and everything. Just pretty exciting I think.

Here are a few hi-lights from the past couple of days. I went to Anti Paros on the boat with a friend that I have. He is a Greek (actually from Cyprus) and he took me and four of my friends to this Greek celebration. At first, it was really boring because they gave an hour and a half speech on the history of Cyprus, but in the end it ended up being really cool because I was able to see the Greek dancers. They came out at the end, and they were beautiful. You can see the Middle Eastern influence in the costumes, but the people looked so happy when they were dancing. They were so totally lively and happy looking.
I really, really loved seeing them. I was able to take a few pictures, but my battery died on my camera, so I only got some, but they are really good, I think. I have had a bit win on working with my camera. I know it is very hard to master cameras, and most people don't need to worry about settings and what they do, but trying to get super professional products out of it that will require the least amount of work and editing while at the computer is actually really hard.
This weekend, I worked really really hard doing things, and I think that I'm becoming very fluent in the language of my digital camera. I fall more and more in love with it every day, as it has allowed me to do things that I would never have been able to do. My photography has improved in such a short time being here just from being out taking photos all the time seeing how things and lighting work and everything. It's just amazing! It is also teaching me more and more each day how my film camera works, but I also have to be able to recognize the differences between the two.
I took some very incredible professional photos this weekend, and I am working hard on them now trying to perfect them so that I can take more and more and more photos and get perfect ones by the end. I think that the staff here are really interested in my work and my progress. I love having John be excited about something that I am doing on my photography. I consider a compliment from him a real compliment.
Though, I have not yet been able to get a compliment from my Photography Instructor, so we're working together more and more to get things to work out. In fact, I got a lesson today on what I did this weekend with my film camera, and then I am going to have a private lesson tomorrow to learn how to take the photos that I EXACTLY want. I'm so excited because she is so brilliant, and this will mean that I will actually getting really good things with her help.
Then, I can move on to getting some prints out, as I've been having a hard time with that lately! We're slowly sorting me out. I'm not pretending that it's easy, because it definitely isn't, but I am starting to learn that there is a lot to learn that that I just need to take it slow.
I'm in good hands though. I was going to go on a trip to two beautiful islands tomorrow, Delios and Mykonios. However, the winds are so heavy and the cold is so bitter that it was cancelled. We were going to have cheap tickets on a chartered boat and be able to see both islands for very cheap, but it doesn't look like that will happen. I'm getting very excited though for this weekend when I go to Santorini! ALRIGHT!
I started a painting today, and it was really exciting. I now have so many going and I totally love it. I am going to do a boat next and then I am going to start painting the way that Boticelli did. I think that I'm going to try to do an exact copy of one of his paintings using the materials that he did. That will be so exciting. I had a writing class tonight and I really got some help with one of my pieces. I loved it. I'm excited! I have mosaic early tomorrow morning, and that should be really good. I love that studio and that woman. It's such an incredible thing. I also have literature tomorrow.
I will finish reading the Odyssey tonight before I go to bed. I only have 10 more pages. I'm excited because he finally made it home, met his son and slept with his wife. He just now has to really wrap up the story. I am then going to read the Iliad. What better place to do it than in Greece with a professional literature professor and Greek translator. So that's what's up with me.
Saturday, April 02, 2005
Ok. So as the time goes on, it gets harder and harder for me to write things and be marveled as all of the cool things that amazed me in the beginning have just become a part of my everyday life here. That's such an amazing thing too. I do have many good things to write about, but almost all of my time is sucked into art projects that you will see when I come home. So, I'm going to have to find new things to focus on!
On Thursday, I went to my mosaic class again. The woman is absolutely wonderful, and I officially started to work on my mosaic. I laid about 10 stones in the two hours that I was there! I am told that it is a hard thing at first, and I also chose the most difficult part of the mosaic to start on. It is in the shape of a fish, and it is about the size of A 4 paper. That's pretty cool. I think I'm going to use the colors pink, green and stark white. It is definitely a beautiful art form. I am going to have to show you pictures of some of the mosaics that I've fallen in love with throughout the Christian world!
Then I went to my drawing class. I left early though because I had set up a personal appointment to go out with my photo instructor to find what holes were stopping me from creating the best photos possible. It was a really good experience though because I now have a good understanding of what I was doing wrong in many areas. She showed me some cool places and we took some photos of them. I'm starting to get the hang of black and white photography again, and I'm very glad that we went out and did that. She bought me a cup of tea and we talked about how photography has shaped our world, and I see how I can get some work as a photographer when I come back to the States!
After lunch, I went to painting. I was getting the idea that I wasn't ever going to be able to master the art, and I was totally ready to give up, but I took my painting (that no one could make any sense of) and I went to my studio and mixed the colors and really dug in. When I emerged back from my painting trance, I realized that I actually did know how to paint, and it was wonderful. Jane (the painting instructor) came down and was completely amazed at how much progress I had made. She showed me some techniques I could use to make the painting better, and we applied them as much as we could, until the painting as too wet to do anything else with. Then I got really brave and started to fix many errors that I saw in the second painting I had done here. I got a really good idea of how to get them fixed, and I put the first layer on them to fix them. I may be able to complete that painting totally by Tuesday! That will mean that I have two paintings totally done! Even after that, I got the sketches done and on the canvas of the next painting that I am going to start. It is a totally abstract piece, but I love it, and I think that with some work it is going to turn out to be OK!
Then I went to writing, but I have nothing exciting to report there, as I didn't write anything for the class!
Yesterday was Friday. We usually go on hikes on Fridays, but the weather here is very terrible. Not just some clouds and chill, but we went from having warm south winds from the Sahara desert to chilly cold winds from the north. I KNOW I'm going to be using my jacket when I get to Prague! I was wearing shorts and skirts, and now I have two jackets on with insulated pants and leg warmers. BUURRRRRR. I can understand the trials that the ancient Greeks had with sailing and the winds. The wind here isn't just a slight blow that goes one direction or another. Sometimes it is like that, but many times it blows very hard. The reason I didn't get back to write an email again last night was because after I was walking back from our after dinner chat the wind was so heavy that I almost wasn't able to use my entire body force against it. I almost couldn't get home. And today, as I walked pretty far in the rain to get some groceries, my clothes wouldn't stay on. Not in the cheesy, romantic way, but that the wind was actually blowing so hard that my jacket was coming undone and trying to fly away. It was kind of fun!
I woke up yesterday and worked on a piece of art that I've been contemplating. It will have to be a secret until I come home, but I know that it will be well liked! Then I went out in my garden and picked a calla lily. They grow wild here, and I was so excited to see that they are coming into bloom. One of the things that I have always wanted to do was to take photos of them, but I was never able to. I picked one and went and set up the whole lighting set-up in the studio and took photos of this beautiful flower against a black cloth. It was soooo cool. When I was done with that, I was going to give the lily to someone, but I thought that it was so beautiful that I had to incorporate it into another art. I ended up grabbing another canvas and I sketched it on there for a drawing. I spent a couple of hours then actually starting the painting. It is so beautiful. I took the lily home and it is now in a water bottle (for lack of a vase) on my table. I love it.
A funny anecdote that goes along with that was that I was walking down the street with this flower, and these two men came walking toward me. I looked at them and intended to say hello to them in Greek, but then in English one of them stopped me and said, "Thank you, lady for the flower." I looked at him very confused and just said, "No, Okhi," and turned around and walked off. It was pretty odd. I told my friends about it later, and they told me that I had to turn it into a painting as it was a "mythical moment" as we have been discussing in painting. I may just have to do it, as the thought of me looking blankly at an Albanian and saying "NO!" is pretty hilarious!
We went out to dinner last night. Dinner here is much different that at home. Usually they start at about 10:00 and sometimes even start as late as midnight. We went early. We ordered some appetizers. 1 baked mountain greens (they literally pick plants from the countryside and bake them (it wasn't very good)) 1 Greek salad (full of things I don't eat, basically only tomatoes and onions) 2 cheese saganaki (this is where they take cheese and fry it with lemon, it is the best thing you will ever taste) 1 feta saganaki (fried feta, damn good stuff), 1 plate of fried calamari (squid, yes, but excellent stuff), 1 plate of chicken (just a plain old meal). 1 plate of fried mushrooms (takes just like steak) and the best of all, a plate of musaka. I have always wanted to try musaka, and I finally did last night. I was so excited about it, it really was incredible. I am now going to learn how to make it because it is just excellent.
After that, we went out and had coffee/hot chocolate. Nice night other than the fact that I almost couldn't make it home!
Today I read some of the Odyssey, which I am getting close to finishing. I'll probably be done with it tomorrow. I'm very excited about that. Then I went shopping, which was badly needed. I now have a ton of food. After I write this email, I am going to go and clean the mosaic studio, as the woman is very nice and is letting us use her studio, so we decided to keep it very tidy for her. I'll probably work on my mosaic some. Then I'm going to go eat dinner. After dinner, there is a talk here by a very incredible man named Peter Abbs. Look him up on the Internet. He is a professor at the University of Sussex, but he feels that education is going in the wrong direction, and he is here checking out the program. He thinks that we are doing education here the right way. He's a cool guy, and we're going to listen to him read his poetry, and then we are going to talk about aesthetic education. When that is all over, I am going to finally and at last come and work on some more photography that I have done over the last week. I'm very excited!

Abstract Rey Vázquez, G., Da Cuña, R.H., Meijide, F.J., and Guerrero, G.A. 2012. Spermatogenesis and changes in testicular structure during the reproductive cycle in Cichlasoma dimerus (Teleostei, Perciformes). —Acta
Zoologica (Stockholm) 93: 338–350. The present study aimed at analyzing spermatogenesis and the changes occurring in the testis throughout the reproductive cycle in the South American perciform fish Cichlasoma dimerus. Testes were studied using light and electron
microscopy techniques. This species has an unrestricted lobular testis composed of two compartments: germinal, containing Sertoli and germ cells, exhibiting a cystic mode of spermatogenesis; and interstitial, composed of Leydig cells and connective tissue elements. Spermatozoa belong to the
anacrosomal type I aquasperm and possess two flagella, this being the first report of an externally fertilizing cichlid exhibiting biflagellate sperm. Under laboratory conditions, C. dimerus proved to be a multiple spawner throughout the year, with a season of higher reproductive
activity extending from September to March, during which fish spawned on average every 29.4 days. Changes in the germinal epithelium and the germ cell stages present allowed the description of five reproductive classes: regressed, early, mid‐, and late maturation, and regression.
During the high reproductive season, each cycle went through the first four classes. The regressed class overlapped with the late maturation class, because sperm was being released while spermatogonia were proliferating. The regression class occurred solely in sexually inactive males during
the period of low reproductive activity.

Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested
to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is
now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely
off topic but I had to share it with someone!
Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this site. It's simple, yet

AN EVENING WITH NEIL GAIMAN AND AMANDA PALMER: ASK US ANYTHING. GO ON. GO ON YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.
Hullo Reddit. We are Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer. Half of us is a writer and half of us is a singer and musician. We're married. Two years ago we went on tour for a week and recorded each night. Mostly Neil read things and Amanda sang things (but we each did the other one too). Now we've made the album available to the whole wide world. You can ask us anything. We might even answer. Amanda is more likely to answer the embarrassing personal questions than Neil is.
Neil wrote THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE and many other books. And Sandman.
How do the two of you force yourselves to write and work when you aren't in the mood? I'm nothing if not inconsistent at being creative and often wonder if there is some sort of Voodoo or Faustian deal you both utilize to be so prolific.

\$\begingroup\$I feel like 9 people agreed on my point with their votes; but, as you say, it's your choice to keep it even though it has 9 downvotes. Was just shedding some light on why there may be downvotes.\$\endgroup\$
\$\begingroup\$Was just my two cents man, honestly; we don't need to go into detail here. Regret I even said anything; the last thing I wanted was an argumentative response. I was just stating why I gave a -1.\$\endgroup\$
Code breakdown:
This is the base t logarithm, which will be used to reduce the size of the numbers we are comparing. It defaults to base c when only one argument is given.
i **= j
y = l[l[g, b]] - d ** e + l[h] * i
z = l[l[a, f] * b ** c, g]
This updates i = i ** j since i never gets used on it's own, and y is the result of logging b^c^d^e == g^h^i(^j) twice and moving everything to one side. We then let z = l[a, f] * b ** c as the log base g of the log base f of a ** b ** c.
if a == 1
return p
elsif f == 1
return 1
1^b^c^d^e = 1 is never greater than f^g^h^i^j, and likewise, a^b^c^d^e is always greater than 1^g^h^i^j = 1 if a != 1. Note that return p returns nil, which is falsey, and return 1 returns 1, which is truthy.
elsif b == 1
return z > h
If b == 1 or g == 1, then this reduces to comparing a ** b ** c to f ** g ** h, which is done with two logs to both sides.
-59 bytes thanks to @EmbodimentOfIgnorance
-117 bytes thanks to @Neil
+121 bytes for about five bug-fixes, all found by @ngn
Takes the inputs as two lists. NOTE: Also works with larger lists or those of unequal length. EDIT: No longer true; it still works if P(a) and P(b) result in different tuples, but if they are the same this updated code above only works with lists with a fixed size of 5 now.
The idea is to represent power towers as a single floating point
number with \$n\$ exponentiations: \$(x\mid n) := exp^n(x)\$. Normalizing
\$x\in[0,1)\$, this format allows easy comparison between numbers.
What remains is a way to calculate \$a^{(x\mid n)}\$ for any real,
positive \$a\$. My Python code below is an attempt to do so, while being
as numerically stable as possibly, e.g. by using the log-sum trick. My
code runs in time proportional to the height of the tower (number of
apow calls) and the iterated-log of it's value (number of recursive
calls).
I haven't been able to find two towers with values close enough to
case my method to fail. At least for integer exponents. With
fractional exponents it is possible to create very towers too close
for my representation to handle. E.g. \$2^{2^{2^{2^0}}}<2^{2^{2^{2^{(1/2)^{2^{2^{2^2}}}}}}}\$
I would be interested in suggestions to other types of counter
examples, especially integer ones.
It seems to me that for the problem to be in P, we need to
non-numerical methods. It doesn't seem unlikely at all, that certain
analytical cases are harder than P.
Regarding the counter examples, he mentions the following in the comment-section:
I believe if we bound the exponents so \$1<a<100\$ (or maybe a much larger upper bound) we can use my method for comparing the height 3 or 4 head of the tower. It should be strong enough to tell us if they are equal or one is larger. Plan B is to choose the highest tower. Plan C is the interesting one: At this point the values of the rest of the tower only matter if the heads are equal, so we can walk down the towers in parallel, stopping as soon as we see a differing value.
Hence the main thing to be proven is that once the head of a tower exceeds a certain point, and the rest of the exponents are bounded (and equally numerous), we can simply look at the top differing value. It's a bit counter intuitive, but it seems very likely from the simple inequalities you get.
Since plan A and B are irrelevant in this challenge, since the height is 5 for both power-towers we input, plan C it is. So I've changed P(a)>P(b) to P(S(a,b))>P(S(b,a))if P(a)==P(b)else P(a)>P(b) with the recursive function S(a,b). If P(a) and P(b) result in the same tuple, the P(S(a,b))>P(S(b,a)) will first remove trailing values which are equal at the same indices, before doing to same P(A)>P(B) check on these now shorter lists.
+8 bytes as work-around, because \$\log_1(x)\$ should result in POSITIVE_INFINITY for \$x\gt1\$ and NEGATIVE_INFINITY for \$x\lt1\$, but results in 0.0 for both cases instead in 05AB1E (i.e. test cases [3,2,2,1,1,2,5,1,1,1] (POSITIVE_INFINITE case) and [2,4,1,1,1,3,3,1,1,1] (NEGATIVE_INFINITY case).

\$\begingroup\$@Anush I actually have the feeling 96 is pretty long, considering the non-golfing language Ruby got 151. ;p And np about the bounty. It's mainly for @SimplyBeautifulArt's approach, but at the same time to give the challenge some attention. The reason it got downvoted is because you posted it a few hours after your earlier answer with 3 powers. I personally like this challenge, and was the first to upvote and answer it, but I can still kinda see the truth in the very first comment under the challenge post at the same time. Hopefully the bounty will make your challenge 0 or positive, though :)\$\endgroup\$
\$\begingroup\$Fails for 3,1,10,10,10,2,1,10,10,10 like my Java answer used to as well. And it's actually a port of @SimplyBeautifulArt's Ruby answer, since he's the one who came up with everything and fixed the bugs..\$\endgroup\$
\$\begingroup\$You said you calculated each by taking log(log()), but for that test case, the difference between log(log(10^10^10^10^10)) and log(log(9^10^10^10^10)) would require an absurd amount of accuracy to pick up on. You'd need to have a floating point with about 2e10 base 10 digits of accuracy. And this is ignoring the fact that both sides are approximately as large as 10^10^10, which I find it hard to believe you were able to compute.\$\endgroup\$
\$\begingroup\$@SimplyBeautifulArt Wait, it does?.. Wtf. When I had my ungolfed version it didn't work for one test case. The string output was the same, but internally it ever so slightly differed. The ungolfed version was your ungolfed version, before I changed it to the golfed ternary you have in your Ruby answer as well. Stupid floating point precision.. Will change it, since it works for the test cases in the current approach indeed. Thanks

Aim: The effect of
sowing depth and orientation on germination, seedling development and biomass
yield of Cinnamomum tamala were studied. Buried depth and orientation
is potentially important for successful germination and seedling development
for regeneration.
Interpretation:
Seeds
buried at shallow depths and upright orientation, were more favourable to
seedling emergence and therefore, might play an important role in survival of
newly emerged seedling of C. tamala

A New Course in Modern Standard Arabic: Book One
An innovative and highly structured course for teaching Arabic to beginners
Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is the literary language of today's books, media, and formal communication throughout the Arab world, the region's principal shared language of written and official discourse. The first book in this new series for the classroom is designed for adult learners of the language at the beginner stage.
Drawing on her years of experience as an Arabic instructor, author Samia Louis has developed a course rich in everyday contexts and real-life, practical language, along with a wide range of grammar-learning strategies to allow students to deploy the language with confidence. Written in accordance with the ACTFL guidelines for teaching Arabic as a foreign language, the course is conceived in such a way to make the study of Arabic language and grammar easier for the student.
Book 1 is divided into ten chapters, focusing on specific everyday situations, including greetings and introductions; people and names; numbers, dates, and telephone numbers; and directions and addresses. The chapters allow for the gradual acquisition of vocabulary and grammar, the exercises at the end of each chapter covering all the crucial skills of listening, reading, writing, and pronunciation, with emphasis on reading and writing. For the accompanying video films of real-life situations covered in the chapters click here. The book is further supported by interactive reading, writing, and grammar drills accessible through the Internet. Click here to listen to the tracks on Soundcloud.
A Novel
Hani was out for an evening stroll near Cairo's Tahrir Square when a heavy hand landed on his shoulder. An informant had identified him, and he was thrown into the back of a police truck. There began a seven-month nightmare as he was swept up, along with fifty other men, in the infamous Queen Boat affair that targeted Egypt's gay community.
Finally free, but traumatized into speechlessness, Hani writes down the events of his life—his first sexual desires, his relationship with his mother, his marriage of convenience, and his passion for Abdel Aziz, the only man he ever truly loved. In the Spider's Room is a sensitive and courageous account of life as a gay man in Egypt.
A Novel
Egyptian Muslims and Jews were not always at odds. Before the Arab–Israeli wars, before the mass exodus of Jews from Egypt, there was harmony.—a fabric about to be torn apart by a bigger world of politics that will put Galal's very identity to the test.
A Novel
Denyse Woods
Gabriel Sherlock arrives in Oman in 1982, fleeing shame and disaster back home in Ireland, and begins an intense affair with a woman whom no one else has seen. Locals insist she must be one of the jinn—a supernatural being—but Gabriel refuses to buy into the folklore, despite her sudden, unexplained disappearance.
Twenty-six years later, Irishwoman Thea Kerrigan lands in Muscat, chasing her own ghosts from the past, and is approached by Gabriel, who believes she is his lost lover. Certain that they have never met before, Thea is nonetheless drawn to this deluded, and perhaps dangerous, stranger and the rumors that surround him.
Egypt's False Prophet
One of the most compelling and controversial figures in history, Akhenaten has captured the imagination like no other Egyptian pharaoh besides Tutankhamun. Known today as a heretic, Akhenaten sought to impose upon Egypt and its people the worship of a single god—the sun—and in so doing radically transformed the country. In this immensely readable reevaluation, Nicholas Reeves offers an entirely new perspective on the turbulent events of Akhenaten's reign. His narrative provides fresh insight into questions that have baffled scholars for generations—the puzzle of the body in Tomb 55 in the Valley of the Kings; the fate of Nefertiti, Akhenaten's beautiful wife; the identity of their mysterious successor, Smenkhkare; and the theory that Tutankhamun, Akhenaten's son and true heir, was murdered. Reeves gives us a revolutionary interpretation of a revolutionary king, and an apocalyptic vision of a time through which few would have wished to live.
Transnational Drama: Theater and Performance
This issue of Alif explores drama in its many manifestations-—textual plays, performances, folk drama, choreographed story-telling, staged poetry recitals, and protest songs—as well as presenting modes of directing and production, comparative dramaturgy, specialized theater journals, experimental and independent troupes, testimonies and interviews. The issue covers dramatic works from eighteenth-century France to twenty-first century Britain and covers geographically Senegal to Lebanon, the US to China, while highlighting major dramatists from Egypt, Syria, and Morocco. The translations in this issue cover manifestos towards a new Arab Theater and an introduction to the recently published plays of Frantz Fanon.
A Novel of Palestine
Palestine. For most of us, the word brings to mind a series of confused images and disjointed associations—massacres, refugee camps, UN resolutions, settlements, terrorist attacks, war, occupation, checkered kuffiyehs and suicide bombers, a seemingly endless cycle of death and destruction. This novel does not shy away from such painful images, but it is first and foremost a powerful human story, following the life of a young girl from her days in the village of al-Tantoura in Palestine up to the dawn of the new century. We participate in events as they unfold, seeing them through the uneducated but sharply intelligent mind of Ruqayya, as she tries to make sense of all that has happened to her and her family. With her, we live her love of her land and of her people; we feel the repeated pain of loss, of diaspora, and of cross-generational misunderstanding; and above all, we come to know her indomitable human spirit. As we read we discover that we have become part of Ruqayya's family, and her voice will remain with us long after we have closed the book.
Egyptian Masculinities through the Life of Musician Sayyid Henkish
Karin van Nieuwkerk
In this in-depth ethnography, Karin van Nieuwkerk takes the autobiographical narrative of Sayyid Henkish, a musician from a long family tradition of wedding performers in Cairo, as a lens through which to explore changing notions of masculinity in an Egyptian community over the course of a single lifetime.
Central to Henkish's story is his own conception of manhood, which is closely tied to the notion of ibn al-balad, the 'authentically Egyptian' lower-middle class male, with all its associated values of nobility, integrity, and toughness. How to embody these communal ideals while providing for his family in the face of economic hardship and the perceived moral ambiguities associated with his work in the entertainment trade are key themes in his narrative.
Van Nieuwkerk situates his account within a growing body of literature on gender that sees masculinity as a lived experience that is constructed and embodied in specific social and historical contexts. In doing so, she shows that the challenges faced by Henkish are not limited to the world of entertainment and that his story offers profound insights into socioeconomic and political changes taking place in Egypt at large and the ways in which these transformations impact and unsettle received notions of masculinity.
"An extraordinary work of meticulous scholarship."―Midwest Book Review
An Architecture of Collective Memory
Since 1945, the globalization of education and the professionalization of architects and engineers, as well as the conceptualization and production of space, can be seen as a product of battles of legitimacy that were played out in the context of the Cold War and what came after. In this book James Steele provides an informative and compelling analysis of one of Egypt's foremost contemporary architects, Abdelhalim Ibrahim Abdelhalim, and his work during a period of Egypt's attempts at constructing an identity and cultural legitimacy within the post–Second World War world order.
Born in 1941 in the small town of Sornaga just south of Cairo, Abdelhalim received his architectural training in Egypt and the United States, and is the designer of over one hundred cultural, institutional, and rehabilitation projects, including the Cultural Park for Children in Cairo, the American University in Cairo campus in New Cairo, the Egyptian Embassy in Amman, and the Uthman Ibn Affan Mosque in Qatar. The first comprehensive study of the work and career of Abdelhalim and his office, the Community Design Collaborative (CDC), which he established in Cairo in 1978, Abdelhalim Ibrahim Abdelhalim: An Architecture of Collective Memory is inspired by Abdelhalim's deep belief in the power of rituals as a guiding force behind various human behaviors and the spaces in which they are enacted and designed to play out. Each chapter is consequently dedicated to one of these rituals and the ways in which some of Abdelhalim's primary commissions have, at all levels of scale, revealed and expressed that ritual. In the sequence presented these are: the rituals of possession, reverence, order, the transmission of knowledge, procession, human institutions, geometry, light, the sense of place, materiality, and finally, the ritual of color.
In the 1970s, once-cosmopolitan Alexandria was at the forefront of the clash between Nasser's socialist-era principles and the burgeoning fundamentalist movement. Five idealistic students find themselves caught up in this tangled web, as their leftist activism makes them a target both from government surveillance and the Islamist groups seeking to curtail the city's social life. The group of friends' participation in the explosive 'bread riots' is swiftly followed by the crushing experience of prison, and the course of their young lives changes irrevocably.
The final part in Ibrahim Abdel Meguid's Alexandria trilogy conjures up this turbulent era in rich detail. This story of young love, aspiration for social change, disillusionment and frustration will resonate with readers today.
A Novel
Shortlisted for the International Prize for Arabic Fiction
Abir scrapes a living in a Beirut hospital morgue, stealing from both the bodies he tends and his bosses. But he has a dark history that continues to haunt him. Earlier in the civil war, he fled his village for Beirut and, lost in the big city, joined a political party to survive. When he is kidnapped from the hospital, he knows he has not escaped his past and the many crimes he witnessed. But what or who is still chasing him?
George Yarak's gripping mystery novel captures the tragi-comic disorder of war with a dark sense of irony.
A Novel
Bothayna Al-Essa Translated byMichele Henjum
Fatima loves poetry and wants to study French literature—both of which are anathema to her strict and conservative much older brother, Saqr. While living under his roof, Fatima's hopes and dreams are scrutinized, mocked, and slowly crushed as she is forced into his narrow vision of the right path.
Then Fatima meets Isam, a poet like her; they email love letters to each other and meet in secret. Saqr, however, has other ideas: she is married off to Faris, a complete stranger. He is not the cruel tyrant her brother was, but still she did not choose him.
Will she escape her past to live the life of love and poetry she craves?
Wholefood Recipes from Egypt, Lebanon and Morocco
Middle Eastern cuisine is renowned the world over for its sophistication, variety, and flavor. Bilhana (Egyptian for 'bon appétit') brings a contemporary twist to traditional Middle Eastern dishes with the use of healthy cooking methods and the freshest ingredients the region has to offer. Spanning the vast area south of the Mediterranean from the East (Lebanon and Egypt) to the West (Morocco), from simple mezze or breakfast dishes to elaborate stews and roasts, the recipes in this book showcase the vibrant colors and immense variety of Middle Eastern cooking as well as being easy to follow. Included are recipes for Roasted Eggplant with Tahini, Alexandrian Grilled Shrimp, Shakshuka, Moroccan Lamb Stew, Vegan Moussaka, Green Beans in Garlic and Caramelized Onions, Pomegranate and Guava Salad, and much more. Exquisitely illustrated with more than 130 full-color photographs.
Arab graphic design emerged in the early twentieth century out of a need to influence, and give expression to, the far-reaching economic, social, and political changes that were taking place in the Arab world at the time. But graphic design as a formally recognized genre of visual art only came into its own in the region in the twenty-first century and, to date, there has been no published study on the subject to speak of. A History of Arab Graphic Design traces the people and events that were integral to the shaping of a field of graphic design in the Arab world. Examining the work of over eighty key designers from Morocco to Iraq, and covering the period from pre-1900 to the end of the twentieth century, Bahia Shehab and Haytham Nawar chart the development of design in the region, beginning with Islamic art and Arabic calligraphy, and their impact on Arab visual culture, through to the digital revolution and the arrival of the Internet. They look at how cinema, economic prosperity, and political and cultural events gave birth to and shaped the founders of Arab graphic design. Highlighting the work of key designers and stunningly illustrated with over 600 color images, A History of Arab Graphic Design is an invaluable resource tool for graphic designers, one which, it is hoped, will place Arab visual culture and design on the map of a thriving international design discourse.

Business partner – rather than starting adventure on your own it is always better to get some other people on board. Whether it is family or friends, you can invite them over to become team members. However, if you do not find someone trustworthy it is better to on your own. An untrustworthy partner can end up causing huge losses and betraying your trust. So, you have to be careful here. Advertise your business – once you have everything in place and are ready to kick start the business, it is now time to tell everyone about this. Family, friends, acquaintances and neighbors – tell about your venture to everybody and also ask them to spread the word. As a start-up establishment you need all the publicity that you can get.
With these simple steps it should not be tough for you to begin a business after retirement. If you know you can also talk to other retirees who have set up their own business. It will be of great help.

Are you willing to be tracked to save on car insurance?
Posted: Fri 5:05 PM, Jan 03, 2020 | 
Updated: Fri 6:54 PM, Jan 03, 2020
(Consumer Reports) - Imagine paying less for car insurance just for being a good driver. It's called usage-based insurance: Drive safely and keep to certain mileage limits and you could save a bundle on premiums. But it also means having your insurance company track how you drive, and that could drive you up the wall. Consumer Reports explains.
Allowing an insurance company to track your driving habits could save you on premiums. (Consumer Reports)
Major insurance companies like State Farm, Nationwide, Allstate, and Liberty Mutual offer the program.
Using a smartphone app and a tag or dongle, they monitor acceleration, braking, cornering, speed, and phone use, and provide a score.
If your score indicates low-risk driving, your premiums could be reduced significantly, in some cases up to 50 percent.
To get the discount you'll also need to watch how far you drive. For example, State Farm considers 7,500 miles a year or less to be low mileage.
But if your driving suggests risky behavior, some insurers could charge you even more. And while some companies say they don't share your information, privacy may be a concern for some people. If you're in an accident, your information can be used, for example, by law enforcement.
To keep your car insurance costs low, make sure you're taking advantage of all available discounts. Ask about discounts for the safety and security features built into your car, student discounts, and discounts for maintaining a good credit score

Any VST effect parameter can be automated with envelopes in Audition's multitrack editor. At the bottom of each audio track is a drop-down which exposes the track parameter envelopes, and any VST or native effect parameter can be shown and edited.
The automation data is stored in the Audition session file itself as parameter change data, and this is sent to the VST effect just the same as if a user were turning the knobs themselves. It's not stored with the VST at all.

4.2Regulation of Genes by Feedback
Geneactivity is complexbecause many genes in livingorganisms are not alwaysexpressed in the samemanner, but are expresseddifferently in response to changes in the external environment. In the 1950s, François Jacob and Jacques Monoddemonstrated with experiments onEscherichia coli that the regulation of expression of genes that transcribeRNA from DNA is the key to maintaining the internal environmentwithin a certainrange(seeColumn below [4.2.2]).
In E. coli, glucose is made by breaking down lactose—another sugar. This reaction is controlled by β-galactosidaseenzyme. When the amount of glucosedecreases, the mRNA that produces β-galactosidase increases;consequently, β-galactosidase is produced, and the glucoseconcentrationincreases.However, when the amount of lactosedecreases, the mRNA that produces β-galactosidase decreases, and β-galactosidase thusdecreases.Consequently,lactose does not getbroken down, and its concentrationincreases (Fig. 4-3).
The mechanism that senses these changes in environmental factors and maintains the sugarconcentrations at a constantlevel is referred to as "feedback regulation." In the above example, a risinglactoseconcentrationincreasesmRNA, a lactose-degrading enzyme, and lactosethusdecreases.Conversely, a descendinglactoseconcentrationdecreasesmRNA, and the lactosethusincreases. This process is referred to as "negative feedback regulation" because its output is in the opposite direction of its input.Negative feedbackregulation is a mechanism that maintainsconstantinternal environment in a mannersimilar to how a thermostat of an air conditioner maintains the temperature of a room by heating it when the temperaturedrops and cooling it when the temperaturerises.
Fig. 4-3. Regulation of SugarMetabolism in E. coli
4.2.2
VariousTypes of Feedback Regulation
Feedback is controlled by variousproteins. As shown in Figure 4-4, forfeedback regulation, first there must be a protein that sensesconditions. In the above example of lactose in E. coli, the sensor is a repressor that senses the concentration of lactose.Thus, when this repressorsenses the lactoseconcentration, it regulates the expression of the gene,makesfunctional proteins such as enzymes that break down the lactose, and acts to maintainhomeostasis. In this case, the regulation of sugarcontent is negative feedback, which decreases an augmentedcomponent and increases an insufficientcomponent. Conversely, there is also a mechanismcalled "positive feedback," which outputs in the samedirection as the input,for example, by promotingsynthesis of a substance when its concentration has increased. During positive feedback, a reactioncontinues once it has started.However, if the reactioncannotstop and begins a viciouscycle, the positive feedbackcannotsustaininside the cell, which has limitedresources.
This kind of positive feedback is oftenused by cells when they differentiate into specializedcells. Below is an example of the differentiation of blood cells.
The differentiation of red blood cellsdepends on a genecalledGATA1*1. Proteins that regulate the expression of genes by binding to DNA are referred to as "transcription factors." The GATA1protein is a transcription factor. It binds to the GATA sequence in the regulatory sequence of DNA, but is actuallyknown to bind to the regulatory sequence of the GATA1geneitself.
In cells that are precursors of red blood cells,activatedGATA1proteinbinds to a regulatory sequence of the GATA1geneitself in DNA and promotesexpression of the GATA1gene. Once this happens,positive feedbackoccurs, in which the activation of the GATA1proteinstimulatesexpression of the GATA1proteinitself. The GATA1protein is continuouslyproduced,thuspromotingdifferentiation into red blood cells. As differentiationproceeds, the nucleuscontaininggenes is expelled from eachcell,makingcell proliferationimpossible.Ultimately,differentiatedred blood cellsspecialize in carryingenzymes.
In the human body,feedback is carried out by not one cell but by multiplecells.For example,blood sugar is regulated by negative feedback (Fig. 4-4B). The amount of sugar in the blood is sensed by β cells of the pancreas.β cellssecrete a hormonecalled "insulin" into the blood.Muscle and fat cellscontaininsulin receptors, and if these receptorssense an increase in the concentration of insulin in the blood, the sugar in the blood is absorbed into the cells. At the same time, insulininhibitssugarsynthesis in the liver.Thus,variouscellscooperate to lower the blood sugarlevel and maintainhomeostasis(seeChapter 8, Fig. 8-6).
Our genes have two types of sequence: one that containsinformation about proteinstructure, and the other that regulates the expression of that information, i.e., the transcription of RNA from DNA.ColumnFigure 4-1Ashows the sequenceinvolved in regulation of the gene for β-galactosidase, which breaks down lactose and producesglucose. The sequenceinvolved in this regulationliesupstream of anothersequence that containsinformation about proteinstructure. First, there is a sequence that binds with an activator protein that activatesRNA synthesis. This activator proteinbinds to the sequence GTGAGXXXXCTCAC (X is any base)made of the four bases A, G, C, and T. Next,anothersequencebinds with RNA polymerase, which synthesizesRNA. When the activator and RNA polymerasebind to the DNA,RNA is produced to makeenzyme proteins.
Then, a sequencebinds with a protein that repressesRNA synthesis. If a repressor proteinbinds to this sequence,RNA polymerasecannotproduceRNA.
As shown in ColumnFigures 4-1B and C, when the concentration of lactose is high, lactosemetabolicproductsbind to the repressor and prevent it from binding to DNA. If the concentration of a chemicalcalledcyclic AMP(cAMP)increases in the cell at that time, the activatorbinds to DNA. Once that happens, β-galactosidase is produced,lactosegetsbroken down, and the glucose levelincreases.
When the glucose levelincreases, the concentration of cyclic AMPdecreases,thuspreventing the activator from bindingDNA. At the same time, decreases in lactoseconcentrationenable the repressor to bind to DNA,therebypreventingproduction of RNA for the enzyme.
In this manner,proteinssensechanges in environmental factors,alter their structures, and regulategenes. An enzymegene that convertslactose to glucosemonitors the concentration of cAMP, and the breakdown of lactose into glucoseproceedsonly when there is a large amount of lactose and a small amount of glucose. Such regulation is oftenaccurately and preciselyperformed by multipleregulationsystems to maintain the environmentinside the bodies of livingorganisms.
(A) Structure of the β-galactosidase gene
(B) In E. coli, when there is a small amount of lactose, a repressorbinds to the regulatory sequence of the gene and repressesRNAexpression.
(C) When there is a large amount of cAMP, it stimulates the activators, which synthesizeRNA.
4.2.3
Feedback Regulation that GeneratesBiological Rhythms
Fig. 4-5. Vibration to be createdthroughfeedback control
The activities of many organisms have rhythms.Variousrhythmicchanges of varyingdurations are known.For example,heartbeatrepeats in a cycle as short as about 1 second.Behaviors such as eating and sleeping,namely "circadian rhythms," occurevery 24 hours.Menstrual cycle in womenrepeats in about every 30 days. Most animalsundergohibernation once a year. For such activities, when the feedback of the systems that activategenes and of those that repress them worktogethersimultaneously,rhythmicoscillationoccurs.
An example of a mechanism for oscillatoryregulation is shown in Figure 4-5. Many repetitious structures, such as the spine,exist in the bodies of animals. To make such repetitious structures,Hesgeneshown in Figure 4-5A is expressedevery 1 to 2 hours. Hes proteinbinds to a sequence that regulates its ownHesgene and represses its expression. This feedback regulation, in which a proteinrepresses the expression of the verygene that produces it, generates a biological rhythmbased on two conditions.
First, there must be stimulationconstantlyactivating the Hesgene.Second, the proteinproduced by the Hesgene must break down at a suitablerate. When these conditions are satisfied, an increasedconcentration of the Hes proteinrepressesexpression of the Hesgene,thusdecreasing the concentration of the RNA that it transcribes.Next, when the proteinbreaks down, the expression of the I geneincreases,thusincreasing the concentration of its RNA. The RNA and proteinshown in Figure 4-5B are expressedalternately in cycles. During the development of Drosophila flies, HesRNA is expressedevery 1–2 hours and repeatedlyproduces the samestructure.
The 24-hour circadian rhythm is also based on the mechanism that inducesgene expressionevery 24 hours. This oscillatorygene expressioncontrols the cyclicbehavior, which is referred to as "biological clock."
Chemicals that Can Be BothPoison and Medicine
More than a thousand of the 25,000 human genescodereceptors(sensors) for variouschemicalsubstances. These receptorssenseextremelylow concentrations of chemicalsubstances and activate the expression of genes.
If soil, water, or aircontainseventrace amounts of a chemical that acts on these receptors, the chemicalmaygreatlyaffect the body by changinggene expression.Chemicals that accumulate in the bodies of organisms are also verydangerous if their concentrationsexceed their naturallevels.In particular, such chemicals have a majoreffect on fetuses during their development in pregnant women. Knowledge of what kinds of chemicals are dangerous for the human bodybegan to develop during the mapping of the human genome.Chemicals such as endocrine disrupters, which act on receptors in humans, are veryhazardouseven in trace amounts. Chemicals are not always bad. Until today, variousdrugs with unknownmechanismsinside have been found to bind to these receptors and act on them. These includedrugs for cancer,hypertension, and mental disorders. In genomic analysis,groups of genescontaininginformation for similarproteins are called "families." The human genomeincludes the G protein-coupled receptor genefamily, which contains over 800 genes that sensechangesoutside the cell. These families includehistamine receptors that are targets of drugs for gastric ulcers, and also includeangiotensin receptors that are targets of drugs for high blood pressure. Other families includezinc-containingzinc finger-protein families. The proteins of these families are activators and repressors that bind to DNA and regulategene expression. These families are the targets of adrenal cortexsteroid hormonedrug formulations, and female and male hormones. Thus far, about half the drugsused for medicaltreatment have consisted of drugs that act on receptors such as G protein-coupled receptors and drugs that act on generegulatory proteins such as zinc-finger proteins.Research has begunworldwide on millions ofchemicalsin order todiscover many remainingcandidates for drugs that target proteins of these families. This research is referred to as "Genome-based Drug Discovery." Substances that act on proteins of receptors such as these G protein-coupled receptors and on generegulatory proteins such as the zinc fingeraffectregulationsystems in the human body.Consequently, such substancescan be unsafeenvironmentalchemicals, but they can also be drugs for variousdiseases. In addition to the separation and duplication of genes, the genomes of livingorganisms are modified and altered from the time of birth. These modifications are referred to as the "epigenome." In what manner are these processesinvolved in the regulation of genes?

A Brush With The Broads 2015
This week I will be taking part in 'A Brush With The Broads'. A wonderful event promoting Broadland for artists from near and far. This is the second year I have taken part, but this time I will be staying at Clippesby Hall with my friend Pauline and we will be able to participate fully in the amazing demos on offer as well as terrific access to a variety of painting opportunities.

43 - Spicing Things Up
So a couple of posts ago I mentioned I wanted to customise my sewing machine bag. I also mentioned I wanted to make these little decorative tags that Wild Olive has made on her blog. Well I finally got around to doing it tonight.
I was planning on putting some buttons on it but I decided patches would be better. I only have two just now, but I hope to get more and add them as I go along. I think it definitely looks a lot better.
I also made a little tag for my "to-do" basket.
Finally, I bought some little flexible baskets when I was in Asda this week and decided I was going to use them to sort my embroidery floss (as I now have quite a lot of it). So I made little tags from them too to separate the colours into warm, cold and tones (like black, white and grey).

A resolution for the new year
I've been to dozens of milongas during my fifteen years in Buenos Aires. Years ago they all seemed about the same to me while I was learning my way. I went as far as Vicente Lopez in the provincia when all the milongas in the capital closed. I went once to Avellaneda when a friend recommended it. I went to clubes de barrio like Salon El Pial and Club Glorias Argentinas for a relaxing change from the city center milongas.
There are venues that had milongas for many years, but they're closed now: Club Almagro, Viejo Correo, La Galeria del Tango, Salon Augusteo, Salon Reduci, Circulo Bailable de la Armada, Salon Belgrano, Club Platense, Italia Unita, Club Bailable Juvenil, Club Social Rivadavia. Others have been open for decades that continue: Salon Canning, Centro Region Leonesa, Confiteria Ideal, Club Gricel, Club Sunderland. Today, a milonga can open one week and close the next.
I've gone to the corner of Humberto Primo and Entre Rios almost since the day Lo de Celia Tango Club opened in July 2000. It was three blocks from where I lived at the time. When I decided to move, I didn't want to live farther than 12 blocks from that corner. It's been my favorite milonga all these years. The chairs are comfortable. The lighting is good. The sound system is always perfect. The staff takes care of everyone and everything. The music is always excellent. And the people are friendly–there are no cliques or snobs. Everyone goes to enjoy an evening of tango. It's not on the popular tourist circuit of milongas, and that's a good thing. It's where many go regularly because they feel at home just as I do.
After 15 years of milonga hopping, my hopping days are finally over. There is only one place where I enjoy every minute without fail. I have my favorite dance partners waiting for a tanda with me. And they know where to find me — at my corner table in Lo de Celia.

above KB article describes how to determine IF file and registry
permissions are preventing an update from installing.
You'll need to check one of the installation logs of a failed update.
They are located in the WINDOWS directory [folder] and are in this
format: KBxxxxxx.log
The numbers will be of that specific update, as in KB927898, for example.
If you can't determine specifically where this issue is occurring you
can reset file and registry Permissions to their Default state:

If you're no longer using a Kindle device, you might need to remove it from your Amazon account. Whether the device is right beside you or lost or given up, there's a way to deregister the device from your account so no other person can access your account from it.
Steps
Method 1 of 2:
Through the Device
1
Ensure all downloaded content has been cleared off of your device. Each book, audible item, periodical, newspaper, and printed matter, as well as any downloaded apps, must be removed until the device is clean of content. Items can generally be removed, depending on operating system, by holding down the button and either tapping a trashcan (followed by tapping a confirm button) or tapping a "Remove from Device."
Wiping your device to factory defaults may not be enough.
On Kindles running via a Wi-Fi connection, be sure to remove any saved Wi-Fi networks.
If you have already wiped your device, to deregister your device, you must follow the second method in this article after clearing. Wiping won't deregister your device.
Tip: If you are hoping to move your downloads to another Kindle, you may need cloud backups of your device. Just let your device make the backup, then install the backup on the newer Kindle then remove the content from the old device.
2
Open the device up to the Settings. Each device will differ in how you access these settings. Often times, you'll click a gear icon (for Kindle Fires) or the "More" tab then "Settings"; then looking up top for your name line (for all apps). Non-touchscreen devices may have a different process.
3
Access the "My Account" page (if necessary). While some devices will require this, others won't. Touchscreen devices (such as through Kindle Fires) will generally require you to select the "My Account item.
4
Find the "Deregister" option. Kindle apps will generally have you tap the "Account" button (where it says "Update" then tap "Deregister", while others will just have you access the "Deregister" button itself.
5
Confirm that you'd like to deregister your Kindle.
Advertisement
Method 2 of 2:
Through the Website
1
Open the Amazon website to your account (while being signed-in). Hover over or tap the button containing the greeting line and "Account & Lists" label then click or tap "Your Content and Devices" underneath the "Your Account" label.
2
Enter your password another time. If you've recently entered your password (within 30 minutes), you may not be instructed to enter it again.
3
Click the "Devices" tab just a bit below the Amazon toolbar line.
4
Ensure the device isn't the default device. If the device is set as a default, you will need to switch the default to another device that is listed to your account. Default devices will be listed in yellow, just to the right of the device's name.
If your device you'd like to deregister is the default, find a different Kindle and click the three dots icon to the left of the name and click "Set as default device" then save your choice by clicking the "Save" button.
5
Double-check that the device is free of content. Click the three dots icon for the device and click "View device content". Look down the list to see what content is still downloaded for your device.
There is no delete content button from the website, so you'll need to remove them from the device itself. Keep in mind that Kindles now are able to be filtered, and some items may be in the Read list for faster indexing.
6
Click the three dots icon to the left of the Kindle you'd like to deregister and click "Deregister".
Tip: Check to ensure the "Send to Kindle" email address matches that of the Kindle you are deregistering. If you don't have the device nearby, confirm that the device name is the same of the one you'll be deregistering, because the following dialog box won't remind you to check the name again.
7
Click the "Deregister" button in the dialog box reminding you what will happen after you confirm your deregistration choice. The dialog box won't remind you which one you are deregistering, so be careful.
8
Check the "Devices" list carefully to ensure all necessary device deregistrations are handled.
If you have Amazon Echos or other Amazon apps, these sign-ins will also be written in the list and you will want to watch the "Type" column to ensure the device is connected to the right account140 times.

Apple denies EU's request to move into unified mobile chargers
Apple denies the EU's request to make all smartphone manufacturers have a uniform charger
The European Union is pushing for smartphone manufacturers to voluntarily agree to one uniform smartphone charger. Apple doesn't think it needs to be involved and has denied their request.
Samsung, Nokia, Huawei, LG and Apple all signed an agreement to unify mobile device chargers and since this voluntary agreement hasn't been fullied by some companies the EU are moving towards pushing it into law. The goal is to make it law that smartphone manufacturers will be required to use a standard charger when importing their products into the EU.
Companies such as Nokia, Samsung and LG don't really have a problem with this considering their chargers for their smartphones use a USB connection. Apple on the other hand is in a bit of a tight spot as they have their own proprietary Lightning cable for charging and data transfer. Apple's rebuttal against the EU is based on a study by Copenhagen Economics which found that if a common charger was created an enforced upon manufacturers that it would cost 1.5 billion euros.
Apple's argument is as follows, "Apple stands for innovation and deeply cares about the customer experience. We believe regulation that forces conformity across the type of connector built into all smartphones stifles innovation rather than encouraging it, and would harm consumers in Europe and the economy as a whole

anyone ever tried real organic hydroponics?

Living dead girl
Have you kept crawdaddies before? Their territoriality seems to present other aquaponics people with problems unless they've got a nice big pond. They take small fish, too.
I told one of my sisters about how we pop the claws off in the trade the other day and OHMYGOD, she was horrified. It cracked me up because in real life she's a fuckin' merciless whack bitch. But not when it comes to crawdaddies, apparently.
GrowRU
Wanted to share what I have learned about aquaponics, and also some information on a hybrid system.
Lots of edible plants seem to do much better than cannabis in a aquaponics setup. Top 2 issues are ph and nutrients. Some fish are not tolerant of p. Few folks are experimenting with fish that tolerate higher p. In order to try and get a higher yielding aquaponic setup with mmj.
Cannabis prefers a lower ph range, aquaponics and the fish prefer a higher ph range. This can also depend on the type of your fish.
Then potentially the plants do not get sufficient levels of food and then the yield is lacking.
2 solutions that are being tested.
You got your fish tank and some rafts for your plants. Farmers have found a few approaches to increase production and still use the fish solution for feeding.
Biochar wicking beds, (compost + biochar) then are watered with the aquaponic solution. This is proving to work well.
Another farmer uses a rdwc type of setup with fish. He uses a large net pot for the plant. Before placing in the system he calculated the amount of water to saturate the crown without runoff. He allows the system to establish itself. Then he does crown feeds with low ec salts. The roots grow into the water and absorb but organic and inorganic nutrients. Keeping the salts out of the res keep the biology in check. Then he can get p inputs from 4 sources. 2 organic and 2 synthetic.
One cool thing was a dead fish.
One setup had a dead fish and algae growing in it. The fish started to decompose and the cycle continued. The system was attached to a pond in the backyard and then went indoors to feed the plants then back out to a fish tank. The system was jump started using a compost tea extract. Then the fish were never fed and the natural cycle was allows to do its thing. Basically a mini eco system.
Think about nature. Think about humans. Who does it better? I you can combine indoors and outdoors or go entirely outdoors. Then you you have any the energy (food) you need. A self sustained system. Even a dead fish can provide food to the "system".
So now that you got the basics of that concept.
Think differently. There is a system in place that works and works very well.
If you have a fresh water fish tank, partial water changes are done to help clean the fish. Nature does not do partial water changes on lakes and oceans. So, what happens to the waste of fish and decomposed animals? They are eaten by bacterium generally creating ammonia. The nitrogen cycle.
In established aquariums, just as in nature, toxic ammonia from fish waste is broken down by bacteria into nitrite, which is itself broken down by a different group of bacteria into nitrate. In a newly set up aquarium, those bacteria are not present in any quantity, and it takes time – about a 4 to 6 weeks under normal circumstances – for those bacteria to multiply to the point of being able to keep up with the waste output of the fish. "New Tank Syndrome" and "The Break-In Cycle" describe the period in which ammonia and then nitrite levels rise to dangerous quantities before being converted into relatively harmless nitrate.
Below is a diagram of the nitrogen cycle. Energy enters into the top of the system through Algae. There are two places where the energy exits. It exits through composting and fish. Energy is also consumed by the bacteria to keep them running.
See how the system can be designed to be self sustainable? Pond, fish tank, and garden. The fish cannot be fed. They need to live on their own without supplemental food. The energy for the fish food comes directly from the sun. This means the eco-cycle is established and the system works like a lake. You can expedite the start up the whole cycle by adding a compost extraction with the highest amounts of bacteria and protozoan.
Call it cycling, nitrification, biological cycle, start-up cycle, break-in cycle, or the nitrogen cycle. They are all the same thing. Water coming out of the tap does not normally contain all of the elements, microbiology and ecosystems to sustain fish. They has to be established for the fish to live.
I wanted to share, in hopes that it will help you to design a system that saves you $$ and is also the most effective.Living dead girlbckwht, are any of these GH grows putting out flowering plants that are true quality? We have an organic hydroponic tomato producer upcountry from us, and their tomatoes taste like shit. I hate saying it, but it's true, I feel gypped every time we pay for them and get them home, only to taste crap. I'd rather eat a canned tomato--truth.
The coldwater fishes have much higher DO (dissolved oxygen) requirements. If you can meet that (water movement with lots of surface turbulence, and venturis), then you should be able to grow them. If you go with the peacock bass from South America it can handle much warmer water temps and concurrent lower DO levels.
What he is trying to do also needs a lot of turbulence air and venturis... the bacteria that lives in the filter media needs it otherwise his soup will become anaerobic and kill his soil...
I am testing the hydrosoil concept (no hole pot, airstone, aquarium air pump, organic soil, water saturation) and even thou it is too early to have a veredict, the test subjects show survival probabilities after a difficult start (which was entirely my fault)
It's definitely doable, but will require frequent maintenance/cleaning/flushing to eliminate as much organic residue from building up as possible. Your NFT system is probably your best bet due to the constant flow of nutrients. Might want to consider some 120 mesh/micron in-line filters somewhere in there to keep it all running smoothly
I have done bioponics quite a bit. It is like hydroponic Korean Natural Farming. Warning- it stinks like baby diapers. Your bioponic system is best utilized outdoors.
First, I make a nutrient slurry in a 5 gallon bucket. The base is always a scoop of compost for the humus and micros. I add LAB's, or sewer enzymes like Rid-X or Bio-Clean. I suppose you could use leaf mold if you want your inputs to be local. I fill the bucket about half way with inputs. For veg, I use N dominant sources like green grass or comfrey. For transition, I like to boost the calcium with egg or oyster shells. For flower, I'll throw in things like apple cores, grape pomace, and banana peels. It is bubbled for a few days as the enzymes break it down. Pewzus, it stinks.
It is filtered with a paint strainer and added to your nutrient solution until you get about 1.0 EC, usually 30-60 ml/gallon. It is extremely bio-active, so just be sure to use a coarse plastic sponge as a bio filter and keep your pump clean. When the EC is low, add more nutes. When the EC is high, add more water. There is no worry about pH as the bacteria keep everything available to the plant.
