Last Tuesday i went along to the launch of an ebook ‘wordlegs presents: 30 Under 30’. The initiative of Elizabeth Reapy who is a writer herself hailing from Mayo. Mayo to me looks pretty much exactly the same as Lord of the Rings so i’m inclined to think people from there are more magic and better than average Irish people. If you want to subscribe to this theory (it doesn’t involve any newsletters, not that kind of subscribe) then you may think Elizabeth more magic than the rest of us too. I’m not officially a fan of short stories*…I definitely border on the sceptical, (yes, of a whole area of literature, I know) but for the sake of something different to do on a Tuesday, i went to a launch. *I am however a fan of short stories with pictures. Also wrongly referred to as ‘children’s books’. Those books are for everyone. The evening was an adventure. We arrived at the venue only to have it slowly filter through attendees that it was actually going to be on somewhere else. I heard the phrase ‘double booked’ bandied about but i standby my belief that it was more to do with adventure. Mayo magic had found it’s way to Dublin. And almost everyone made it to the new venue safely. A selection of short stories, excerpts and poems were read out by some of the contributing authors. Some of them were undeniably captivating, even for a sceptic. I don’t write fiction or stories. I wouldn’t know where to begin. So i came away with a newfound respect for those who do. You can get the ebook from here. It’s in two parts and they are 99c each. And you’ll be supporting young people dedicating their time and energy to keeping Irelands literary culture breathing. It’s no Saoirse Ronan “save Irelands film heritage” plea, but this suggestion was made with a much lower budget.

I’ve been experimenting with a new video setup in order to try and improve the audio quality of my piano videos. I really wanted Hard Man’s theme from Mega Man 3 to sound good because it’s very special to me… it was the first piece of video game music I had ever learned when I was a kid, and it launched me in the direction of loving video game music and eventually pursuing it as a career. So… here is my piano improvisation of Hard Man’s theme from Mega Man 3: I also suggest listening to the original NES version… the middle part is especially great and really matches the fast-paced feel of his stage. Lastly, here is a vlog that I made explaining why I love video game music (sorry for the weird thumbnail… youtube always seems to catch me in the weirdest poses, or when I’m half-blinking): Share this: Twitter Facebook Like this: Like Loading... Related 7 Comments » RSS feed for comments on this post. TrackBack URI Laura, The music of Mega Man (especially I-III) was definitely one of my earliest influences, too. I can’t imagine how much time I spent on my Game Boy internalizing that music as a kid… In fact, I did an arrangement of Gemini Man for my college senior jazz recital, the theme of which was a tribute to all of the styles that contributed to my modern make-up as a player/composer. Gotta keep that iconic melodicism alive today! – Greg Comment by Muuurgh— December 1, 2011 # Reply You, ma’am, has one of the greatest voices I’ve ever heard. You make me laugh hard while playing Plants VS Zombies, but still, you make me cry while playing To the Moon (even watching the Trailer!!). How can you do this? Are you sure Nobuo Uematsu isn’t your father? Haha XD Please, keep using your talent, and our industry (game industry) will grow beautiful and rich 🙂 I admire you. – Gabriel Comment by Gabriel— December 1, 2011 # Reply Nice job with the video again 😀 I also liked the music of megaman 2 and 3. I especially liked the music in MagnetMan because it feels so happy as if I were on a vacation somewhere outside in a sunny day 🙂 Thank you for the video. Keep up the good job 😉 Comment by ethyl— December 2, 2011 # Reply Some of the tunes I remember most across my life are from video games. I understand your love really well and wanted to congratulate you on the Plants vs Zombies sound&music design… so addictive! Really digging Super Meat Boy soundtrack right now. Comment by kagento— December 2, 2011 # Reply Didn’t know someone who plays a heart wrenching piano song, sings with angelic voice, is also capable of doing massive damage to the brain eating zombies! Guess that is what is called “flair”. To the Moon music reminds a lot about those sleepless night in my school time: FF5, Dragon Quest, Chrono Cross etc. Keep up the great work! Comment by Tornar— December 4, 2011 # Reply Laura, Thanks for all the videos you post to YouTube, it really brings back good memories for me. It’s nice to listen to those songs in a piano so you can show them to someone else and say “See? It is great music!”. When I was younger I started playing video games music. I think the first game was Lemmings (maybe not fair, those are really classical music pieces). Then Rayman… But I never learned to play the piano, you make me want to start learning it. Other games whose music I will never forget are Mario, Sonic, Chrono Trigger, Terranigma, Katamari… Then I played Plants vs. Zombies and was immediately attracted to the music. I might even say the music is what I liked most about the game. It gave the perfect atmosphere to it. “Ultimate battle” is the one I liked the most, maybe because it didn’t came often and it sounded special. Some days ago I wanted to listen to it again so I searched on YouTube and found you playing it. I asked to myself “Who is that girl?”. Well, now I know. 🙂

Types of Solar Landscape Lamps (Reviews) We have collected some of the best-selling products in retail markets such as AMAZON for review. We list the main parameters that determine the performance of each product: LED power, lumen value, battery voltage, battery capacity, and solar panel size. Mini Solar Lawn Light Application： Lawn lighting LED Power：0.2W Solar Panel Power：0.2W Battery： NI-MH 0.6AH Light Time：4-6 hours Life Span：1 year EXW Factory Price ：$ 2.5- $3 Market Advice： This light can be used directly on the grass soil.

It is commonly available on 2C platforms such as Amazon, eBay, Shopee, lighting chain stores, building materials stores, etc. Solar Spot Lights Application： Lawn lighting, Building， Trees LED Power：1-3W Solar Panel Power：1-3W Battery： Lithium 3.7V 2.2AH Light Time：4-6 hours Life Span：1 -2 year EXW Factory Price ：$ 4.5- $6 Market Advice： At over a watt, the light is barely bright enough to decorate trees and outdoor buildings. But only a few hours of lighting time. As the battery power is consumed, the LED power will gradually decrease.

Therefore, this type of solar lamp is mainly for decoration and cannot be lit at full power all night. The vast majority of usage scenarios, such as gardens and yards do not need full light all night. So this light is also mainly sold in retail. Some customers also apply this light to outdoor lighting projects. Solar Post Lights Application： Parks, corridors, gardens， etc. LED Power：0.5-1W Solar Panel Power：1W Battery： Lithium 3.7V 1.5AH Light Time：4-6 hours Life Span：1-2 year EXW Factory Price ：$ 6 Market Advice: Its brightness can only play a decorative role, so these lights are commonly placed on the gate pillars and walls.

THANK YOU for publishing Rose’s column regarding Miss America. I found her honesty quite refreshing. I enjoyed her tongue-in-cheek brand of humor, even if I disagreed with her message. As someone that isn’t the typical “American Ideal” that many people feel that Miss America looks for, I think I did pretty well for myself in the program. As a result of my competition, I paid for all of my college books and fees (my tuition was covered, courtesy of an academic scholarship). All this from a size 10 (at my thinnest) with a big butt. The financial aspect wasn’t the best part of my experience, though. The interview and public speaking skills I gained have paid off, far more than the $50,000 grand prize I would have gotten if I would have won Miss America. I have a great career that I owe to learning to express myself in front of an audience. It certainly made job interviews a cake walk! For anyone that isn’t sure of what the MAO is all about, I’d suggest volunteering with a local program for a year. It’s not about pretty girls in bikinis and fancy dresses, or flawless Italian arias performed on a great big stage. It’s about the blood, sweat and tears that these young women put into learning about who they really are. It’s about the thousands of volunteers that give of their time (and their pocketbook) to see that these young women get the best opportunities available. It’s about my dad that works 70 hours a week at a defense plant, then comes home and builds sets in the garage. It’s about the 23-year-old woman that drags herself out of bed in the morning (after a “girls night out”) to meet with an Adopt-A-School group of inner city kids … just because she promised she’d be there for them. It’s about the families that cry tears of joy when their daughter has the newly found confidence to sing in front of hundreds of people, even if she sucks. I’d consider Miss Harman to be a great choice of a speaker, one that I’d remember. Hear her out … I bet she’s got much more to say than you think.

We provide and lay down the highest quality sealcoating on asphalt driveways and parking lots in the Pittsburgh metro area. When the last time it was that you provided asphalt sealing to your pavement? Are you looking for an asphalt paving company that will give you an estimate on sealing? Are you considering taking on the project yourself? Do you want expert advice on how often you should sealcoat your asphalt? Our Asphalt Sealing Pittsburgh Division Will Restore & Bring Back The Life Of Your Paving If you have just laid brand new asphalt, we recommend sealing it on its first years anniversary. That first year is crucial since all of the oils, fines, and aggregates are so new that it makes the sealant adhere to the mixture much better. After that first year, as asphalt experts, we always recommend to our customers to seal their asphalt every three years. Why is this important? Asphalt is a mixture of aggregates, sand, and oils. It is a mixture that is used all over the world because of its durability and flexibility. However, because of the basic elements such as rain, cold temperatures, the hot sun, and even wind, the oils in the mixture begin to oxidize. This causes the small aggregates to start to beaks off. These small releases of aggregates will slowly turn into wear and tear. It will look discolored. It will start to create holes and cracks. When you provide high-quality asphalt sealing you reintroduce those oils into your paving that locks in those aggregate fines and make it last for years to come. Asphalt Sealing Pittsburgh - Why Hire Us? Sealcoating is the type of business any individual can start with a pickup truck and few cans of sealing. For this reason, there are businesses that we like to call fly-by-night sealing businesses. These are guys that are in sealcoating business for one year and out of the business the next. To us, this is simply not the ideal type of asphalt sealing provider. We are an established asphalt contractor here in Pittsburgh that deals with all aspects of the asphalt industry. From tearing out old asphalt to installing new driveways and entire parking lots. We do asphalt and sealing it is just another division of our services that we take tremendous pride in. Benefits Of Sealing Asphalt Protecting Against Oxidation With time, the oils in your asphalt oxidate, and aggregates in the mixture start to fall apart. Defending against Chemical & Oils Spills Paving will always be on the receiving end of spills from cars and trucks. From coolants, solvents, & oils, sealcoating helps protect against them. Shielding Against Water Erosion The season comes and go and with them brings rain and snow. Water is a powerful element that wears and tears all surfaces no matter how durable. Sealing helps protect against it. Blocking Ultraviolet Light The sun gives off the most powerful ultraviolet light that breaks down all asphalt. When applying sealing to asphalt, it acts just as sunblock acts on our skins. It is designed to lessen the exposure. Curbside Appeal Nothing can match the look and beauty of fresh, brand new blacktop. Be it a driveway or a parking lot. Sealcoating brings back that great look after every application.

The MedStar Health Research Institute (MHRI) Office of Research Integrity (ORI) has worked to simplify the process for case reports. What is the Current Process? Current IRB Form 2C, Case Report Review Request, states that under U.S. Federal Regulations (45 CFR 46) case reports are not considered “research”. This form is compliant with regulations and prevailing industry interpretation on the definition of research. However, MHRI has requires IRB acknowledgment of all case reports even that the IRB was not necessary. The acknowledgment is beyond what is required by regulations. This project focused on eliminating unnecessary steps, specifically eliminating the acknowledgment for case reports. Why the Change? Simply stated, to make it simpler and reduce unneeded work. IRBs must guard against IRB mission creep, in which IRBs spend time, energy, and staffing resources attempting to prevent a growing list of imagined, minor, or highly unlikely harms.1,2 IRB mission creep can lead to a system of over-regulation while underprotecting.1,2 Upcoming changes to the Common Rule (compliance date January 19, 2018) are focused on ensuring IRBs better protect human subjects involved in research by facilitating valuable research and reducing burden, delay, and ambiguity for investigators.3 Our change is in line with that philosophy to modernize, simplify, and enhance the current system of oversight.3 So What Happens Now? The ORI website has been revised to include the forms for Case Reports, along with Frequently Asked Questions about case reports. View the revised webpage. On that webpage, you will have access to some key documents needed to perform case reports.

The Sunbeam phosphor bronze are a high quality traditional phosphor bronze alloy, wound on round cores They have remarkable sustain and are bright and rich sounding. We stock most common gauges in our shop for use on customer setups. Quantities in stock for immediate shipment are thus somewhat limited, as we like to keep them fresh. But we can special order larger quantities and some other gauges including a 12-string version, and get them in very quickly. So if you don't see your favorite gauges or want to stock up with larger quantities, use the contact page to ask for a quote. Based upon a round core, the Sunbeam phosphor bronze strings are very flexible, with great sustain and rich tone. Handmade in USA. Please use the contact page to order. The drop down box shows the types I try to keep in stock, and the prices. But I use these also in my shop and for local customers so the webstore inventory is usually not accurate, the actual quantity on hand changes too fast and I may not have them on hand. Also often the shipping calculator may overestimate the cost on small items like these. So email me for a quote. The price shown is for a single boxed set of strings, not including shipping. I typically give a discount for multiple sets. I will charge the actual postage and my packaging cost. If I don't have them in stock, I can do a special order of any of the types that DR has available.

A new college football tradition kicked off in Atlanta on Saturday, with a thrilling bowl game featuring a slew of big plays, a few tricks and a diminutive running back who added to his already viral highlight package. North Carolina A&T running back Tarik Cohen rushed for 295 yards and scored three touchdowns, and the Aggies’ defense made a stand in the final seconds to secure a 41-34 victory over Alcorn State on Saturday afternoon in the inaugural Air Force Reserve Celebration Bowl at the Georgia Dome. Here are five observations from the game: One-man highlight reel. Cohen, a 5-foot-6, 173-pound junior dynamo, garnered national attention this summer when a video of him catching a football while doing a back flip went viral and landed him on ESPN's "SportsCenter." He showed off that athletic ability Saturday, scoring on touchdown runs of 83, 74 and 73 yards. “We’ve said all along that Tarik is special,” North Carolina A&T coach Rod Broadway said. “The nation got to see him perform today. He had a big game for us, and we needed it.” The two-time Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year also set up a fourth-quarter touchdown with a dazzling, tackle-breaking 52-yard catch and run on a screen pass. “We haven’t seen too many backs like him,” Alcorn State defensive back Warren Gatewood said of Cohen. Big-play special teams. North Carolina A&T's Khris Gardin returned the first punt of the game 74 yards for a touchdown and became the all-time FCS leader in punt-return yardage. He also set the tone for a game that featured multiple big plays on special teams by both teams. Three minutes after Gardin’s return, Alcorn State answered with an 84-yard punt return for a touchdown by Anthony Williams Jr. Gatewood blocked a 27-yard field-goal attempt to keep the Braves within one score, at 27-20, heading into the fourth quarter. Alcorn State used some special-teams trickery to tie the game, when senior holder Brian Vessell hit tight end Brandon Campbell for touchdown with 5:10 to play. Shut-down defense. Alcorn State entered the game ranked No. 3 in the FCS in rushing, averaging 309.2 yards on the ground per game. North Carolina A&T's defense, ranked second against the run, was up to the task. The Aggies held Alcorn State to season-low 104 yards rushing on 32 carries. “When our big guys in the middle (defensive tackles Michael Neal and Marquis Ragland) are playing well, we’re hard to run against,” Broadway said. Good turnout. The announced attendance of 35,528 was pretty evenly divided, with maybe slightly more purple-and-gold clad Alcorn State fans than those wearing the blue and yellow of North Carolina A&T. Regardless, both coaches praised their fans' support and the overall bowl experience. “We gave the TV audience a pretty good show,” Alcorn State coach Jay Hopson said. “They ought to be pretty happy with the Celebration Bowl. Our fans show up, they travel. We have the best fans in the world.” Added Broadway, “It was a beautiful week for our kids. I’m just excited for them to have the opportunity to go to the (Civil Rights) museum, the (Georgia) aquarium, the College Football Hall of Fame. I know our team enjoyed ourselves, and I think the fans enjoyed it. It was a heckuva football game.” The future of the Celebration Bowl. The Celebration Bowl expects to tee it up in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in 2017. “It is in our full intent, because of our relationship with the Atlanta Falcons as a partner with this bowl game, to be in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in 2017,” bowl executive director John T. Grant told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution during Saturday’s game. Grant said the bowl has been in discussions with the Falcons, but a deal has not been finalized yet. Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the future home of the Falcons, will open in time for the 2017 NFL season. The Georgia Dome will be torn down during the first half of 2017.

InVitria is an innovative biotechnology company that serves customers in the fields of industrial cell culture and biomanufacturing. Leveraging the capabilities and benefits of ExpressTec, InVitria has developed a product family of serum-free, animal-free cell-culture supplements, components, and custom media services to improve the performance of eukaryotic cell culture for both research and industrial applications. Eukaryotic cell culture: essential and sensitive tool of the life sciences Academic and industrial life-science applications depend on the availability of pure, reliable, consistent bioreagents for R&D as well as biomanufacturing. In particular, R&D and commercial-scale production in the fields of biotherapeutics, vaccines, diagnostics, cellular therapy, gene therapy, regenerative medicine, tissue preservation, and even medical devices routinely involve the need to maintain, grow, and use eukaryotic cells as the raw materials for therapeutic applications. Animal, human, insect, and plant cells can be challenging to grow when isolated from their natural host. They must be bathed continuously in cell-culture media supplemented with carefully defined nutrients, vitamins and minerals, and specific proteins to stimulate healthy growth, and their performance can be highly sensitive to contamination. Many of the protein-based components of cell culture media are, themselves, difficult and expensive to source. Isolation from natural or engineered sources—such as cattle, human blood serum, or recombinant bacterial culture—introduces the potential risk of contamination with adventitious infectious pathogens, such as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (“mad-cow” and Creutzfeld-Jakob prion diseases) as well as blood-borne viruses such as HIV and hepatitis. Other trace contaminants left over after the purification process can interfere with consistent cell growth and performance. All of these factors can create safety risks as well as challenging manufacturing and regulatory hurdles. ExpressTec: providing high-yield, serum-free, animal-free, bacteria-free products for InVitria InVitria has leveraged the capabilities and benefits of ExpressTec to develop and manufacture cGMP-standard, recombinant versions of essential, protein-based cell-culture components. Use of ExpressTec for biomanufacturing eliminates the presence of any and all animal, human, or bacteria-derived contaminants, thus meeting the needs of InVitria’s customers for bioreagents that deliver greater safety and more consistent performance. To date, InVitria has developed and commercialized eight recombinant proteins and cell culture media supplements. Key products include: rhAlbumin: The most abundant protein component of blood serum, albumin carries lipids to energize cells and is a powerful antioxidant. Albumin also sequesters toxic metabolic products, reducing cellular damage. Recombinant human albumin manufactured using ExpressTec offers superior purity, safety, functionality, and consistency compared to its serum-derived counterpart. rhTransferrin: Transferrin is the primary molecule that delivers intracellular iron to support fast-dividing cells. Iron-saturated transferrin binds to the transferrin receptor on cell surfaces and delivers the iron payload through endocytosis. The iron is released into the cell by a shift in pH, and iron-depleted transferrin is released from the cell back out into the media to re-load. Recombinant human transferrin manufactured using ExpressTec is used worldwide to support consistent cell culture in industrial applications. Given their benefits, InVitria’s blood-free products have been widely adopted throughout the life-science industry. InVitria’s products have been adopted by more than 600 customers worldwide and are used in products approved by FDA and EMA. InVitria’s success in supporting its customers with highly pure bioreagents free of human or animal contamination is a model example of the power behind the ExpressTec innovation.

An unhealthy gut may lead to many health problems such as skin, weight, heart, immune system, the brain, hormone levels, ability to absorb nutrients. In Gut issues, Stomach disturbances like bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, and heartburn can all be signs of an unhealthy gut. Constant fatigue. Indications for an unhealthy gut are : Upset stomach A stable gut will become less strain processing food and excreting waste. High-sugar diet A food great in processed foods and added sugars can reduce the number of healthy bacteria in your gut. The imbalance can produce enhanced sugar needs, which can harm your stomach still more. Large quantities of processed sugars, especially high-fructose corn syrup, have been connected to heightened inflammation in the body. Inflammation can be the forerunner to several diseases and even growths. Erratic weight changes Increasing or decreasing weight without making changes to your meal or exercise habits may be a sign of an unhealthy gut. An imbalanced gut can hurt your body’s capacity to digest nutrients, control blood sugar, and store fat. Weight loss may be caused by tiny abdominal bacterial growth ( while weight gain may be driven by the urge to eat more due to decreased nutrient absorption. Sleep disturbances or constant fatigue An unhealthy gut may add to sleep disorders such as insomnia, leading to chronic tiredness. Most of the hormone that affects mood and sleep is produced in the gut. So stomach damage can undermine your capacity to sleep well. Some sleep disorders have also linked to risk for fibromyalgia. Skin irritation Skin diseases like eczema may be linked to a damaged gut. Swelling in the gut caused by a low food intake or allergies may cause progressed “leaking” of proteins out into the body, which can sting the skin and cause eczema conditions. Food intolerances Food intolerances emerge from problem digesting certain foods (this is entirely different from a food allergy). It’s believed that the low quality of bacteria may cause food intolerances in the gut. Thus, it can lead to trouble digesting the trigger foods and obnoxious symptoms such as bloating, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, gas and nausea. There are some research results that food allergies may also be related to gut health. Things you can do to improve your gut health Stay hydrated Consuming plenty of water has been proven to help the intestines’ lining and regulate good bacteria in the gut. Drinking a lot of liquid is an easy way to support a healthy gut. Sleep Plenty Not sleeping well-enough can impact your gut health severely. Having Try at least 7–8 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night is very vital. Lower your stress levels High levels of stress is a big challenge to your whole body, not exempting your gut. Lowering stress levels include walking, yoga, getting a massage, decreasing caffeine intake, meditation, spending time with friends or family, and diffusing essential oils. Take a prebiotic or probiotic. Including a probiotic or prebiotic supplement to your food is one of many ways to improve your gut health. Prebiotics give “food” goal is to promote the growth of useful bacteria in the gut, while probiotics are suited to live bacteria. Have it in mind that’s not all probiotic supplements will give a benefit.

The Buffalo Sabres are making their way through the playoffs in route of their goal of winning the Stanley Cup, the 2007 NFL Draft just came to a close, the Kentucky Derby is rapidly approaching, and the first month of the baseball season is coming to a close. Unfortunately, I am writing about none of these. Early Sunday morning, pitcher Josh Hancock, of the St. Louis Cardinals died in a car accident on Interstate 64 in St. Louis. According to the St. Louis Police Dept., Hancock’s 2007 Ford Explorer hit a tow truck at approximately 12:35 a.m. CT and he died at the scene, possibly at the moment of impact. It’s the second time in only a five-year span that the Cardinals have lost an active player. Darryl Kile passed away on June 22, 2002. Hancock was just 29 years old and previously pitched for the Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, and Cincinnati Reds. Sunday night’s Cardinals-Cubs game, scheduled for 7:05 p.m. CT, was postponed. “The pain our organization feels today is unspeakable,” said Cardinals principal owner Bill DeWitt Jr.. “Josh was a great competitor with a strong will to win. His fellow Cardinals will tell you that Josh was a consummate teammate with a terrific spirit that served him well on the mound and in the clubhouse.” Team Manager Tony La Russa said, “The respect that we all had for his ability to take the significant or the save-our-staff type of role was a real measure of him personally and professionally. He was a lot of fun and a terrific teammate. So trust me when I tell you this is brutal to go through.” “Josh had a lot of friends in that clubhouse,” general manager Walt Jocketty said. “You talk about it being a family, and it is a family. And it’s very difficult.” St. Louis Police Chief Joseph Mokwa said that police are attempting to establish the details of both the accident and the last several hours of Hancock’s life. He said it appears likely that Hancock was not driving at an excessive speed, and that no alcoholic beverage containers were found in the vehicle. Something like this puts everything else into perspective. A baseball game is simply that, a game, and has few everlasting consequences. A person’s life is important and should be valued every chance you get. Please say a prayer for Josh’s friends and family as they cope with this tragic loss.

His love life in shambles, retired homicide detective Thomas Prescott returns to Seattle, the very place he fled from after his parents' deaths nearly a decade earlier. Just as Prescott is getting settled in, he sees a body floating in the private cove behind his boyhood home. It's a woman. But not just any woman. It's Ellen Gray—the governor of Washington—who has been missing for the past six weeks. The lead suspect in the governor's murder is her husband, famed defense attorney, Adam Gray. But unlike the Seattle Police Department—where Thomas was fired from several years earlier—Prescott has his doubts about Adam's guilt. Ignoring direct orders to stay away from the case, Prescott soon finds himself drawn into the heart of the investigation. Working side-by-side with SPD detective, Erica Frost, Prescott uncovers a sophisticated conspiracy linked to a new breed of killer. In his pursuit to catch a madman, Prescott's investigation will take him from the state capital to the snow-covered peaks of the North Cascades and for the first time in his career, Thomas finds himself both the hunter...and the hunted.

Raise your hand if you’ve been told your whole life that getting up early and having a morning routine was the key to success? Yeah, me too. Today, I want to break this old mindset with a theory about individual needs. Let’s make one thing clear. Morning routines DO NOT define how “successful” you are, ACTION does. Crafting a “routine” that works best for you will result in an environment that will help you take action. Instead of doing what every instagram creator tells you to do, try to work through this decision matrix and craft a type of routine that works for you! P.S. No hate for influencers, I just firmly believe we all are unique and owe ourselves this little bit of time to figure out how we work best! Here's the Plurnal Decision Matrix Let’s Work Through This Together Step 1: Figure out what your peak working hours are Get to know when your peak hours are during the day. This is when you often take on larger, more complex tasks that take most of your brain power for the day. And, no, they don’t always fall under the standard corporate hours and that’s okay! Step 2: Figure out what your peak hours are telling you If your peak hours are in the first half of the day, you’ll crave a morning routine. If your peak hours are in the second half of the day, you’ll crave a nighttime routine. Step 3: Do you crave a structured or unstructured “routine” Structured: You like control, knowing what to expect, and set schedules. This routine calls for a set time with set tasks in a set order. UnStructured: You likely have a more creative brain and like to change things up often or maybe the same day-in, day-out sounds boring. This routine calls for a set time and a list of things you enjoy that you get to pick from each day depending on your mood. The key here is ACTION. We likely all need some form of a routine, but the intensity depends on what you and your brain need as an individual.

Known for its tangy, rich, and slightly salty flavor, feta is considered one of the best kinds of cheese in the world and is a favorite among many chefs and food enthusiasts. It goes well with pasta, salads, sandwiches, omelets, pizza, and a variety of meats, making it a really versatile ingredient that must be present in every kitchen. However, whenever you take a bite of this delicious cheese, have you ever wondered where it came from? We will go through it in this article. History of Feta Cheese Feta cheese has a rich and deep history, just like its flavors. Cheese production is said to be as old as human civilization, dating back to the domestication of animals 10,000 years ago. Because of this, the exact origin of cheese production is unknown and is most likely lost to time. Nevertheless, cheese is said to have been invented around 8.000 years ago. It’s highly possible that it was discovered totally by chance while milk was being transported in the stomachs of young animals. This was mentioned in Homer‘s ‘Odyssey’ where the Cyclops Polyphemus was the first to create a cheese that is today thought to be feta’s progenitor. As mentioned in the myth, the milk he stored in bags made from animal stomachs had curdled and solidified. To his surprise, this solid product tasted excellent. Aristoteles, Pythagoras, and other Greek comedy authors have also written on the creation and consumption of cheese during ancient times. Feta is still made in much the same manner it has been for over 8,000 years, with just minor differences in mechanization and packaging. Feta became well-known around the world in the twentieth century, when large numbers of Greeks migrated to other nations, including Australia, the United States, Canada, and Germany. As a result, several Greek communities sprang up across the world, with members maintaining their traditional eating patterns to a considerable extent. The traditional Greek diet is rich in vegetable-based dishes, and feta is served as the protein for those dishes. Because of this, new markets for feta cheese were formed, resulting in an increase in its worldwide commerce. Some Interesting Things You Need to Know About Feta Feta is a Greek word that literally means “slice.” In a combination of refrigerated and room temperatures, feta can take three months or longer to completely age, and it must be stored in a mild brine solution to avoid drying out. Feta is a nutrient-dense cheese that is typically beneficial to your health. It’s high in riboflavin, salt, calcium, phosphorus, and fat, as well as vitamin B12 and protein. Feta has a sour, acidic, and salty flavor, and it may be seasoned with oil, herbs, spices, or other ingredients. Feta is among the most versatile cheeses. It tastes no matter where it is added. The only thing they are usually not used for is fish. Conclusion Nothing compares to the creamy, salty, fresh, and tangy flavor of feta cheese. It is, however, more than just a block of cheese. It is a reflection of thousands of years of history and culture. So, before you take a piece of this delicious cheese, take a moment to savor it.

MOSIP stands for Modular Open-Source Identity Platform. It is open source software which governments or international organisations can use as a core, to build foundational digital identity systems. A foundational ID system is one in which individuals receive a unique identifier from the government. The unique identifier can be used by individuals for identity assertion, and for verification to avail of various services, including social security, financial services, etc. 2. Why is MOSIP being built? Countries when building their national foundational ID system face some common challenges. These include: Ensuring uniqueness in the system, Lack of interoperability among available solutions, Ensuring privacy by design, Reaching scale, Avoiding vendor lock-in, Maintaining affordability, and so on. MOSIP is being built to address these challenges. 3. What are the attributes of MOSIP? Why Modular, Open Source and Platform? MOSIP is a technology platform which helps Governments and other user organizations implement a digital, foundational identity system in a cost-effective way. Nations can use MOSIP freely to build their own identity systems. Being modular in its architecture, MOSIP provides flexibility to countries in how they implement and configure their systems, and helps avoid vendor lock-in. 4. What is the scope of MOSIP? MOSIP is building the key core functional modules which are common to any foundational identity system. Some of these modules are - Registration, ID Issuance, ID Lifecycle management, Authentication etc. 5. How is MOSIP getting created? MOSIP is being anchored at the International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore (IIIT-B) - an academic institute, with philanthropic donations from Indian and International donors, as a global public good. Our donors are the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Omidyar Network and the Tata Trusts. MOSIP is steered by an Executive Committee and a Technology Committee actively advising on the project. There is also an International Advisory Group giving strategic guidance on the project. 6. How will MOSIP be supported in the long-term? The vision is for MOSIP to become a thriving open-source project, supported by an active open source community of developers and system integrators to contribute to the long term support and growth of MOSIP. IIIT-B will facilitate this through open source community engagement, building training and certification programs, etc. 7. Who is MOSIP being built for? MOSIP has many functional modules required in any foundational ID system (eg. Registration, ID Issuance, Authentication etc). Individuals and organisations working with digital identity systems, including developers, software companies, countries, startups, etc., are all invited to explore, use and contribute to any module of MOSIP that is relevant to them. MOSIP as a whole is meant to be implemented on a national scale, and thus is mostly applicable to governments of sovereign nations. In addition, developers or system integrators can use the code in following ways: Configure the module/code to create a denovo foundational ID system. Choose and configure a particular module to update their existing ID system with new functionality, Improve the MOSIP code through contributions. 8. How will countries use MOSIP? MOSIP is an open source project. All code, documentation and white papers will become available in 2019 under an open source license on a platform like Github. Countries who want to use MOSIP modules for their foundational ID system will hire a System Integrator (software company) to work locally to download the MOSIP code and configure the MOSIP modules to suit the countries’ requirements. IIIT-Bangalore is creating an ecosystem of developers and software companies who will contribute to MOSIP development and provide support services to countries. 9. What is the inspiration for MOSIP? How has the experience and best practices of ID systems across the globe - India, Estonia, etc. influenced the development of MOSIP? MOSIP architects have reviewed ID systems in countries like India, Pakistan, Peru & Estonia. The architecture principles and functionality which enhance the privacy, security, configurability etc have inspired MOSIP design. MOSIP undertook a study to understand the digital ID systems prevalent currently. However, we could not look inside these ID system and thus MOSIP is developed completely from scratch. The experience of the last decade of how digital & foundational IDs have evolved contributed to MOSIP’s evolution. The new challenge for MOSIP was how to build it such that it can be easily configured and customised for different implementations. 10. Will MOSIP be GDPR compliant? MOSIP has all the features available to make it fully GDPR compliant. Since it is available as a customisable kernel, it would also depend on the implementing agency to ensure that an end-to-end system built using MOSIP remains fully compliant with GDPR. 11. Does MOSIP charge fees for the support for a project based on MOSIP? MOSIP is a philanthropic, funder-driven project and thus we do not charge for MOSIP support. However, we do charge interested businesses for training and workshops to keep the Knowledge Transfer activities cost neutral. 12. Do you have a demo version/Sandbox available on the Internet? MOSIP is currently building a hostable sandbox solution with a few partners. Soon a public version of the Sandbox will be made available. We will announce the same through our website and mailers. 13. Is MOSIP compatible with all Operating Systems? MOSIP has been written in Java and can be deployed on an Operating System supporting Java. Thus MOSIP is operating system agnostic. 14. Can MOSIP work with only a demographic de-dupe system, using paper documents? Yes. Biometrics is not an essential requirement for the working of MOSIP. 15. Are there any use cases which MOSIP advocates against and where can one find them? MOSIP has published its Principles of Engagement. In engagement where MOSIP is directly involved, we work towards adherence to these principles. Having said that, because MOSIP will comply with the principles of being an open source project, it will not put additional restrictions on the usage of the code beyond what our license of choice, the Mozilla Public License 2.0 imposes. 16. Can MOSIP be used only for foundational IDs or can it be used for functional IDs also? While MOSIP has been envisaged for creating foundational IDs, the configurability of MOSIP enables use of MOSIP for functional ID purpose also. MOSIP can also be customised to be used by a large organisation, for managing its people operations.

But the titular character in Netflix’s aptly titled comedy “Emily in Paris” being in a foreign environment filled with some (at least to begin with) not so friendly faces makes her realize she doesn’t have it all figured out just yet. Her journey, like that of so many TV characters in 2020, from Devi on the same streamer’s “Never Have I Ever” to Catherine (Elle Fanning) on Hulu’s “The Great” and Apple TV Plus’ titular Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis), is to find herself while out of her comfort zone. This allows these comedy series to play with the emotional and introspective to allow for incremental evolution within each episode, while also mining much humor from the characters’ steep learning curves. Emily (Lily Collins) is “an overconfident millennial,” creator and showrunner Darren Star points out, when she seizes what she thinks will be the opportunity of a lifetime (aka to move to Paris for a new job at a prestigious marketing firm). Once there she realizes “she’s a little out of her depth. “I wanted the show to be about her realizing that there’s a big world beyond the world she came from,” Star says. “Being in Paris really expands her horizons and her assumptions and her thoughts about what her what her life is going to be.” Part of the growth for Emily throughout the season, Star explains, is to become happy with who she is, to stop pretending that “she isn’t an American girl in Paris.” “I still think she’s a character whose Americanism is pretty strongly baked in. The needle isn’t moving so quickly in terms of who Emily is. With the amount of time she’s spent there, she can only change so much, but I think she’s a lot more open than she was when she arrived,” he continues. Like Emily’s colleagues, who give her the nickname of “la ringarde” — or “basic,” as Americans would say, the owner and fans of the Premier League team AFC Richmond immediately dismiss their new coach when he first arrives in Britain to take over the team in “Ted Lasso.” Some of the audience may have initially written the character off as well, considering he originated in a series of promotional videos for NBCSports’ coverage of the real-life Premier League, and in those short bursts, “he was just dumb and ignorant for the joke,” showrunner Bill Lawrence recalls. However, for the series it was “important that he’s a lot cleverer and craftier so people underestimate him,” Lawrence continues. “One of the things we wrote on the board is, ‘He’s dumb like a fox.’” This allows Ted, over the course of the 10-episode first season of incessant good-heartedness and sneaky wiles, to win over and prove himself to his players, his colleagues and even his boss. Although he has to adapt a little of his coaching technique for a new sport and come to terms with the often-rigid way of doing things across the pond, one of the most endearing aspects of Ted Lasso is that he never compromises who is. Lawrence says that his unflappability and charm speaks to the kind of inspiring figure they wanted to create: a coach who teaches his players and everyone around them just as much as he learns himself. “We wanted Ted to be less of a blowhard and more of a kind and supportive coach because Jason and I really wanted to do a show about mentorship and what it means to have a great coach or teacher in life,” Lawrence says. “It’s been so heartwarming to see how positively people are responding to him and the show both in the U.K. and over here.” Catherine also needs to prove herself to a rowdy bunch in “The Great” — her husband Peter’s (Nicholas Hoult) “frat house court,” as showrunner Tony McNamara puts it. Even though she eventually becomes one of Russia’s greatest rulers (as the show’s title suggests), her early days in the palace as depicted in the series are sink or swim. “She’s coming into a world she doesn’t know, doesn’t understand. In that first episode she thinks, ‘I’m not going to fall in love with this guy and now I’m stuck here’; she doesn’t have a purpose,” McNamara says. “By the end of the pilot she finds that purpose and once she does, she’s off and running.” Meanwhile, to create the central character’s journey through the potentially perilous environment of high school in “Never Have I Ever,” showrunner Lang Fisher says she and the writers leaned on their own experiences. “Never Have I Ever” centers on 15-year-old Devi Vishwakumar (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) whose father dies before the series’ events begin. Fisher says both she and fellow creator Mindy Kaling have lost parents and wanted to create a series about grief that retained “all the trapping of a high school comedy.” “When my father died, my youngest sister was only 17 and I watched her struggle to come to terms with his death. Teenagers have a hard time opening up and a lot of their emotional turmoil is under the surface. We thought it would play out in a really interesting way if she’s struggling with something, but decided to distract herself with these silly high school things,” Fisher says. While Devi begins to discover healthier ways to process her grief in Season 1, Fisher says almost every central character is going through a period of major growth in the series. The melting pot of high school provides an environment for her friend Fabiola (Lee Rodriguez) to explore her sexuality, while studying for a doctorate at Caltech proves to be a key time in the life of Devi’s cousin Kamala (Richa Moorjani). “As teenagers and young adults, most of your journey is trying to figure out who you are, and what it is you actually want. Everyone has expectations for themselves, and then family members have expectations for you, and those muddy your journey and the clarity of what it is that you think you need,” Fisher says. “For all of these characters, trying get to know themselves is such a big part of the first season of our show and will continue to play a big part going forward.”

A long, long drive from Innamincka to Birdsville – 550 slow kms across 2 days - the toughest drive of the trip – by some way – through big open Gibber Plains across the Sturt Stony Desert. Gibber Plains Apart from a small number of birds … there was essentially zero wildlife – or anything else for that matter. Stopped at Deon's lookout overnight – with awesome views across the desert – and a stunning sunset to boot. Population Zero!!! Then drove through Betoota - with a population of Zero - this joint was pumping!!! Bit sad really - the pub had simply been abandoned. Amazingly though, they (whoever 'they' are???) still hold an annual race meeting ... which we may even get to. Then we flew into Birdsville (.... flew … birds(villle) …. sorry!!) – great spot – very very remote. Of course – Burke and Wills had wandered through here. Beers and dinner at the famous Birdsville Pub – loved it. Had a picnic watching the sunset over Big Red – a huge red sandhill on the edge of the Simpson Desert (where the Big Bash Concert is held each July), wandered down to Pelican Point on the Birdsville Billabong, and took a look at the Race Track, where the famous races are to be held in a couple of weeks, and a few more beers at the Pub. We are a little bit too early for the races – but hope to come back specifically in a couple of years. The only disappointment was that the famous Birdsville Bakery has temporarily (?) closed – so no Curried Camel Pie!!!!

When we talk about fundamental rights, health comes into the picture as a major element of exercising human rights. In other words, health is an essential part of human rights to stabilize the standard of living. Thus, open access to medicine plays an important role in the successful execution of the right to health. However, IPR and product-patents have significantly affected this access. Furthermore, a majority of the people do not have easy access to the medicines used to cure diseases. This issue does not just prevail in India, but in various other countries as well. For example, in August 2008, the Secretary-General of United Nations published a report which mentioned that over 2 billion people all over the world do not have sufficient access to essential medicines[1]. Further, one of the main reasons for the lack of access is the high prices fixed for these drugs. This price inflation in the medicines is due to the strong protection of intellectual property. Consequently, this protection increases the manufacturing cost of these drugs to a great extent. Product-Patents and IPR: Patents create a monopoly. Subsequently, this eradicates the competition from the market and enables the patentee to set higher prices. This makes it clear that the linkage of IPR and the right to health is a debatable topic. There are a lot of contributions and attempts made by national and international organizations. For instance, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), WHO, WTO, and Agreement of Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). These organizations solve this issue through various agreements. However, such measures have failed to resolve this issue to give priority to health over IP. Compulsory licensing and parallel imports from the “TRIPS-plus” agreements have made the entry of generic medicines into the market difficult. This article acts as a critique to study and analyze IPR against the Right to Health. No right can be more important than human rights, and the same goes with IPR laws and Human Rights laws. Also, this article critically analyzes the human right to health and IPR to resolve the core issues associated with them. Further, it aims to study the issue of generic drugs into the market, and patent protection. Thus, the main question is: “Does IPR overlap? Does it create any hindrance or domination in the functioning of the right to health?” Indian Perspective on IPR: “The idea of a better world is one in which medical discoveries would be free from patent and there will be no profiteering from life and death”, said Mrs. Indira Gandhi at the World Health Assembly, Geneva, May 1982[2]. In India, before 2005, all the drugs were considered generic. This was because there was no patent system for pharmaceutical products. In 2005, India, being a WTO member, was forced to amend its laws. Thus, product-patent was extended to all fields of technology like food, drugs, chemicals, etc. under compliance with TRIPS[3]. The country got compliant with TRIPS in 2005 when pharmaceutical patents were introduced through legislation precisely under Section 3(d) of the Indian Patent Act[4]. The expensive patented medicines and the government disparity led to a drastic increase in tax and import duty. As a result, the supply chain of affordable and essential drugs broke. Novartis AG vs. Union of India: One of the landmark judgments which plays a very essential role here is Novartis AG V. Union of India (Novartis Case)[5] where legal action was taken against the Indian government to challenge the constitutional validity of the new legislation under Section 3(d), but the plea was rejected. This is an important case because it talks about access to medicines on a global level. It states that globally, it cannot be accepted that people are denied access to life-saving medicines/drugs due to monopoly pricing. This case also highlights that the governments of developing countries, such as India, are all set to fight the big pharmaceutical companies[6]. Coming under the ambit of fundamental rights, the right to life and health is not negotiable. The codified law of India in the form of the Patents Act has been amended in the years 1999, 2002, and 2005 to abide by the obligations put on by the TRIPS [7]. The product-patent concept prohibits others, apart from the patent owner, to make, use, offer for sale, sell, or import that patented product. This product patent protection for medicines thus gives rise to monopoly and eliminates competition in the pharmaceutical market[8]. The International Perspective: The overlapping of these two laws has their scope led upon countries at a global level. The various organizations involved at the global level are[9]: 1) United Nations: The right of people to gain access to essential medicines at an affordable price is one of the key issues. There has been discussion on social development at the special session of the UN General Assembly. They look upon how patents and the IPR regime, established by WTO’s TRIPS agreement, undermine this right. The free exercise of options available in international trade for access to medicines was allowed by UNGASS in its 24th session[10]. 2) Doha Declaration on Health: Under this declaration, there is an amendment in TRIPS. Furthermore, there is no basis for developing countries to link their patent and health legislation as well. The Doha Declaration is nothing but a direct outcome of various controversies which concern patents in the health sector. The declaration mainly focuses on the questions, and queries related to the implementation of patents such as compulsory licensing. 3) Forthcoming WTO Negotiations: At present, WTO is not in a position to respond to the requirements of the developing countries concerning health in general. Thus, there is no indication in the Doha Declaration about the negotiations in the new round trade which may relax the TRIPS requirements in the field of health. The aggressive posturing of pharmaceuticals in the U.S. suggests there will be a strengthening of patent rules in the future. Overlapping of IPR and the Right to Health: There is a serious need for elaboration of the relationship between the human right to health and IPR. We can see there is not much guidance relating to the links of IP with other fields of law. Also, we can see that the treaties relating to human rights state that the interests of the patent holder are recognized but it is not recognized as fundamental rights. The TRIPS agreement throws no mention of the impacts it can have in the field of health. The WTO has members stating that the parties to human rights treaties cannot draft any legislation for the purpose of implementing the obligations of WTO. This is because it should be first compatible with international obligations of human rights. It can be understood that the right to health’s formulation at an international level is vague, still it gives a proper and wide framework for the implementation of health policies. It pressurizes the government to allow easy access to drugs. As stated before, patents on drugs can increase their prices. It is the duty of the government to make sure that the introduction of product patents is not disturbing access to drugs. It is a doubtful point to understand that whether the amendment of the Patent Act of 1970[11] is in attention to human rights treaties. We should note that in the case of HIV or AIDS, the existing drugs are available to the public at prohibitive prices[12]. Suggestions: As a verdict, it can be said that a firm foundation has been set up by the Doha Declaration on TRIPS and public health. This foundation helps the developing countries to protect their public health needs from the IP policies of WTO. There are many developing countries that do not have production capabilities locally, and this makes it difficult for them to achieve economics of scale. A greater effort is needed to overcome this issue internally and externally, or else the world may continue to suffer. International cooperation holds a chief priority in public health, as it is a global challenge. There is a serious need for coordination between international organizations such as WTO, WHO, WIPO, and also the IP trade. However, the relationship between human rights and intellectual property systems is of a complex nature and there always exists a conflict in implementing their policies. Conclusion: Overall, it can be said that yes, IPR creates a hindrance and dominates the proper functioning of the right to health but IPR is as important as the right to health in that sector for proper protection of the discovered medicines. A balance between these two fields of the law is necessary to prevent them from overlapping with each other and disturbing the functioning of either of them.

In August, 1971 Professor Thomas Cupillari ’60 saw an advertisement in the magazine Sky & Telescope; Dave Garroway, a television personality best known for being the original host of the Today Show was selling the telescope and dome that he purchased from Beloit College in 1967. With the approval of then President Harry K. Miller Jr. and the support of Margaretta B. Chamberlin, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees, he wrote a letter of inquiry to Mr. Garroway. A series of letters and telephone calls followed. Numerous individuals and organizations, including the Smithsonian Institution, indicated an interest in acquiring the telescope and dome. The Smithsonian Institution wanted to buy it to reunite the lens and finder telescope with the original Warner and Swasey mount. Ultimately, Mr. Garroway, assured that Keystone College would make the telescope available to students of all ages and the general public, rejected all other offers and sold his ‘baby’ to Keystone College. In the fall of 1971, the dome and telescope were dismantled and transported to Keystone College and placed in storage. Installation of the Dome Gifts to the 1972 Annual Fund, including a grant from the Scranton Area Foundation, and several supportive individuals helped to make possible the installation of the dome and telescope, as well as the construction of the main building. A grant from the National Science Foundation financed the purchase of a spectroscope, a Schmidt Camera, and a photometer. In the spring of 1973 the observatory was dedicated and public lectures and viewing sessions began in July of that year. Observatory Opened to Public The astronomy observatory at Keystone College was officially dedicated and opened to the public on Sunday, May 20, 1973, a rainy, cloudy day. There was a brief ceremony that included remarks by President Harry K. Miller Jr. and Thomas Cupillari ’60, observatory director. Professor Philip Riggs, a teacher and mentor to Professor Cupillari when he was a graduate student at Drake University, presented a short address. Among the guests were representatives of the Scranton Area Foundation that helped fund the founding of the observatory. This dedication initiated the status of the observatory as a facility for both the college and the public. The observing session for that evening was postponed and later held on Tuesday, May 22, 1973. Public Programming Began Regularly scheduled public programming began in July that year and has been a central part of the mission of the observatory ever since. Students in astronomy and physics courses began using the facility that September, and on occasion students in history and 19th century literature also made visits to the observatory. At the same time a cooperative effort with the Lackawanna Astronomical Society (LAS) was instituted, and a relationship was created that is still going strong after 36 years. In addition to lectures and observing sessions, which grew rapidly in popularity, students from Keystone and other local schools, and the members of LAS began engaging in projects involving photography, photometry, and astrometry. Re-Dedication as the Thomas G. Cupillari ’60 Astronomy Observatory On September 22, 2000, President Boehm and the Board of Trustees rededicated the facility as the Thomas G. Cupillari ’60 Astronomy Observatory (TGCO) in honor of the founding and current director. In attendance with the college community was Keystone College former president, Harry K. Miller, Jr. Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope Purchased In 2002 the Observatory purchased and installed a ten-inch Schmidt Cassegrain telescope which was portable and later mounted permanently in the new building once it was completed. Funded by former student Frank Brown ’68, in memory of his mother, Marian L. Brown. Once a librarian at the US Naval Observatory, Mrs. Brown had been a supporter of the observatory at its inception in 1973. The family’s gift in her memory paid for the Meade LX 200 telescope, and there is currently a small plaque mounted on the telescope designating it as the Marian L. Brown telescope. Three Phase Project Began Phase 1 Also in 2002 a three-phase project was formulated and presented to President Boehm. With his help and support a plan was put into motion. In 2003 a grant from the Margaret Briggs Foundation funded phase one, the building of a 10′ by 40′ addition to the observatory structure, as well as a total renovation of the interior space. The project was completed just in time for the approach of Mars to Earth. Less than 35 million miles away, it was the closest approach ever in recorded history. In four nights during August, 2008 people visited the observatory to view Mars through our telescopes. With a total 5700 people visiting the observatory that year, 2003 became a banner year. Phase 2 Phase two was erecting a new building with a roll-off roof, capable of housing two telescopes, began in late 2005, and was completed in early 2006. Phase 3 Purchasing and installing a Ritchey-Chretien type telescope that had a 20 inch diameter mirror, began the third phase of the project. This type telescope is a variation of the Cassegrain type telescope, and in August, 2007 an order was placed with RC Optical Systems, Flagstaff, Arizona. The telescope that took more thane one year to be fabricated was delivered in September, 2008 and was installed by October, 2008. Completion On May 9, 2009, the telescope was dedicated, marking the completion of phase three. The purchase of this telescope, an RC 20, was made possible only with the cooperation and support of individuals and organizations from then community such as: the Scranton Area Foundation, the Robert Moffat Foundation, the Schautz Foundation, and the Dave Garroway Fund of the Boston Foundation. In 2011 the observatory added another fully computerized telescope, an eleven inch Cassegrain type built by Celestron. Research Initiatives In October 2012 the observatory entered into two research initiatives. One is a cooperative effort with The Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. This work centers on making precise measurements of positions of small, dark, icy objects, beyond the orbit of Neptune. The second initiative has TGCO becoming part of a large network of all-sky cameras around the country. This network is coordinated through New Mexico State University, (NMSU), with the support of Sandia National Laboratory. The all-sky camera monitors the night sky with a 360 degree view and records meteors and fireballs. The images are analyzed with an on-site computer; the images and data are then sent to NMSU where they are further analyzed, archived and made available to all members of the network.

It’s the “Genuine” factor. Chief Rufer has been in the volunteer fire service for over 20yrs. He understands the dedication it takes to be a volunteer firefighter, and doesn’t insult them with “Fluff”. This business is hard and the challenges are real, to sugar coat the issues would be a disservice to the profession. Can we preview a program? Check Chief Rufer’s schedule and contact him to be a guest at an upcoming program. Does Chief Rufer offer his programs to individual organizations? Yes, Chief Rufer’s signature TEN-23 program is offered to individual organizations or in a seminar format.

He is interactive and approachable. Chief Rufer will spend time with audience members during breaks and at the end of the program. How much money can we raise by hosting a class? The “Host a Class” program has become very popular and works a couple of different ways. The bottom line is that the more you promote the class, the more you will raise. Contact Chief Rufer regarding the specifics of this program at How should we set-up the room? Chief Rufer is very flexible and has delivered his programs in fire station meeting rooms, school auditoriums, hotel conference rooms, and convention centers. If you are expecting more than 50 people a raised platform is requested but not required. This will give the audience a clear, unobstructed view during the presentation. If holding the event in a fire station meeting room or conference room, chairs should be in rows, do not use a center aisle (prime viewing space) use smaller aisles on either side. Stagger the chairs in alternate rows so that audience members won’t have someone’s head right in front of them, blocking their view. An area of a 10ft between Chief Rufer and the first row is preferred. Match the number of chairs to the number of people that are registered, keep extra chairs stacked at the back of the room. What audio visual needs does he have? For smaller venues (those seating 100 or less) Chief Rufer needs a projector and screen. For larger venues (those seating over 100) he will also need an audio system for both the presentation and a microphone, preferably a lavaliere microphone. Chief Rufer will work with you on these items once your program is booked. You have booked Chief Rufer. Now What? You will receive a speaking agreement. Sign and return the agreement with a 50% deposit to hold the date. Chief Rufer will call you a few weeks prior to the program to finalize all of the details.

I may not notice every female convict that comes my way. But I do pay attention when things jump out at me. Literally. I was on a hike at Smith Rock State Park near Redmond, Oregon a month of so back and I saw, or rather sensed, rapid movement near my feet. The area has its fair share of those long slithery creatures with the rear end rattles so I paid a good deal of attention to what was causing the motion. Instead of a snake, however, I spotted this small tree frog frantically hopping to avoid becoming one with the bottom side of my shoe. I noticed it because it surprised me and stood out from the norm. Such occurrences usually garner our attention. But what about an ordinary day when nothing unordinary seems to happen? What do you notice then? Usually not a lot. And that’s a shame because when we stop noticing, we stop participating. We go through life as numbed spectators or rather, life passes us by unobserved. Not the best way to live. So how do we change this? Recently I started reading a book called, Awaken Your Senses: Exercises for Exploring the Wonder of God by J. Brent Bill and Beth A. Booram. The book looks at how to encounter God with all five of your senses or, as they put it, “to help more of you experience more of God.” We tend to engage God primarily through our minds. This book helps you expand on that. Early in the book, they have an exercise I’ve found remarkably helpful for improving my ability to notice and be a player in the life all around me. Here’s an abbreviated version of their exercise First, wherever you are, take a minute to observe what’s around you and write down two or three things that you see, smell, taste, feel, and hear. Simple, yes? Now comes the fun part. Do the same thing, only instead of just noticing these things, pay attention to them with love. As the authors note, “When we look with love at something, we regard it. We notice the nature of it; we respect and appreciate it for what it is.” (p. 19) This seems like a small distinction, but try it. Right where you are, look, smell, taste, feel and listen as you did before, but do it with love. When I tried the exercise, the first round I noticed our ukulele on the shelf. The second time, I saw the same musical instrument but became grateful for the gift of music, for joy it brings in playing and listening. Seeing the same object with love transformed how I perceived it. This exercise works particularly well with the people you know best and often regard or notice the least. See them with love and you will find that life no longer passes you by but is right there before you. With you. Around you. God packs more wonder into the narrow confines of the space you currently occupy than you can imagine. But you can begin right now to see it – to truly notice it – if you do so by paying attention…with love.

—A lonely aristocrat Miss Gray has a twin sister who’s in an asylum. They share a strange bond. Miss Gray is rational but frigid while her sister is insane yet feels sexual pleasure for both of them. A female reporter arrives at the mansion. —Lady Doriana Grey, who haunts her isolated castle, and her twin sister who has been driven insane after being institutionalised at a young age. In the mental facility, the sister is under the care of Dr. Orloff. The two share a psychic connection, and along with their similar looks, they apparently have another common bond. It would seem that Doriana is unable to experience sexual satisfaction. Her enigmatic presence brings her many lovers; mostly female who are unable to resist her charms. In succumbing to their lust for Doriana, they pay the ultimate price. As she brings them to orgasm, they perish as a result. This curse is apparently what keeps her young and enchanting. The lunatic sister on the other hand experiences everything, including the orgasms her other half is unable to achieve.

Sooner or later, we all have to deal with how LabVIEW handles compiling and recompiling our beloved VIs. Depending on what the problem at hand is, dealing with it can become pretty complex, tedious or even an outright PITA! Our LabVIEW friend Richard Thomas (thoric) posted an idea to the LabVIEW Idea Exchange starting off like this: LabVIEW is awesome. But sometimes things don't go quite right, and when something isn't quite right somewhere (maybe a bad bit of binary) it would be great to be able to recompile your code [...] One by one, many clever people both from the LabVIEW community and from NI join into this discussion, giving details about what functions like "Mass Compile", "Force Recompile" or "Clear compiled object cache" actually do, like this gem from Steen Schmidt: The reason mass compile does not force a recompilation of everything is that it basically has to start all over each time it has compiled an item. That has to do with dependency tracking. [...] You'll definitely enjoy reading the whole discussion (it spans three pages) and there's a lot of stuff to be learned.

If you are focusing on Sit and Go Poker Tournaments and are taking it seriously then you are looking to get the best return on your investment (ROI) as possible. Your investment in this case is your buy in to the SNG and the return is obviously any prize money you win. In this lesson we look at how to maximize your ROI. How to Improve Return on Investment (ROI) Play to win. That’s the golden rule of Sit and Go tournaments. It sounds simple, but a common human tendency is to get conservative in situations where money is on the line. The difference between fourth and third is huge, and the difference between third and second is significant, so playing for the next place when it seems so close is very tempting to the average SNG player. You are not looking to be average! If you are committed to playing these tournaments in the long term, you must look for every way to increase your long term expectation by even small amounts. The approach to the bubble and three handed play is probably the most important way to do this. Look at this comparison of two scenarios over ten bubble situations (assumes 50-30-20 pay outs): 4th Place $0 3rd Place $20 2nd Place $30 1st Place $50 Total Win 5 1 1 3 $200 3 5 1 1 $180 Scenario one only has a 50% ITM (in the money) rate, but has a total win of $200. This is a typical scenario for the strategy we have talked about in this guide and the Play to Win strategy. Scenario two is 70% ITM, but the net win is only $180. These are the kind of results that playing ultra-conservatively on the bubble results in. There certainly is a fine line to walk between getting some return by getting into the money and getting a long term benefit with fewer cashes but more wins. It can be argued that scenario two, getting into the money eight times, means you have eight chances instead of five to win first place. That is usually incorrect, since by playing so carefully, you will likely be very short stacked with little chance to win. Bubble Approach to Return on Investment Middle Stack On the bubble, it is generally wise to be cautious only if you are one of the middle stacks. Playing conservatively here is smart, because simply surviving one place gives you an almost 100% return on your investment, and you will have at least a fighting chance at one. Getting knocked out by the big stack, or crippled by one of the other short stacks if they wake up with a hand, is devastating. You went from almost +100% ROI to almost (or exactly) -100% ROI in one big hand. Big Stack & Short Stack Two players need to be aggressive on the bubble – the short stack and the big stack. The big stack must play aggressively because the natural tendency of average players here is to be too conservative. The big stack can and should take advantage of this to build a huge lead going into three handed play. Although this may backfire occasionally as another player wakes up with a big hand, it is the best approach for the long term. There are two reasons the aggressive approach is profitable in the long term: The payout structure – If you make it into the money, you have your minimum 20% prize locked up. Now you are playing for either ten per cent extra for second, or 30 per cent extra for first. The game is giving you 2-1 odds on the payout, but there is a lot you can do to give yourself better odds, and that is primarily understanding. The avoidance of risk in the average player – Some players are afraid of going broke in tournaments, even single table ones. If that is you, change your mindset. If you were playing this specific tournament for your life, you would be right to be a little more cautious, but if you play with the proper bankroll, you should have a long term focus. Playing aggressively is a long term winning strategy. Your play may not seem optimal if you run into a big pair, but J-7 can get calls from 3-3 as well, which puts you in a coin flip situation. Remember that a player will only be dealt a big pair (J-J or better) roughly once in 55 hands. You only have two opponents. You do the math!

During the past 18 months, the National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF) has put finishing touches on its plan to connect chapters across the country. The New Chapter Services Department combines the former education and public policy departments in a more targeted effort to strengthen and sustain chapters. In this article, you will meet some of the key NHF staff customizing services to the bleeding disorders community through its new, improved network of chapters. The Timing Is Now Currently, NHF’s chapters come in many shapes and sizes, from volunteer-run organizations to those fully staffed. While variety can be a good thing, families and individuals with bleeding disorders need the assurance that all chapters will provide predictable services. To standardize services, programs and even staffing from coast to coast, NHF, with the input of its chapters, created chapter standards as the cornerstone of the new Chapter Charter Agreements between NHF and local organizations. “The NHF Board determined that a stronger chapter network would help the organization achieve its goals,” says Val Bias, NHF CEO. “In the future, there will be like and similar services for individuals with bleeding disorders state to state.” Those services will include programs implemented through NHF’s cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), such as a women’s initiative to educate and raise awareness about the symptoms of bleeding disorders, says Bias. NHF now has 45 chapters that have signed Charter Agreements; among the new affiliation options was the opportunity to merge with NHF. “Of the five chapters that are merging with NHF, three had no staff,” says Joe Kleiber, Vice President for Chapter Services. “They have not been operating as the small businesses they really need to be in supporting our community at the local level.” NHF’s Campaign for Our Future is providing the financial support for increased services to chapters. Chapter standards are being rolled into the ACT initiative—Access to Care Today, Achieve a Cure Tomorrow—in five areas: government awareness and support; education for all life stages; access to care at hemophilia treatment centers (HTCs) and beyond; research and training; and strong local organizations. Staffing assistance grants have been awarded to chapters to help them meet chapter standards, and future grants also will be tied to the ACT initiative, says Kleiber. NHF’s first three Regional Directors in the field—Michelle Rice in Indiana, Kathleen Roach in Wisconsin, and Dawn Rotellini in Pennsylvania (all former chapter executive directors)—will provide chapters with the hands-on help they need to meet the chapter standards. “They allow us to provide more direct human resources to our chapters,” says Bias. Human Resources, Direct Services “A lot of my work is rolling up my sleeves and sitting down to work with chapters on some of the most basic things, like phone coverage or Web site creation,” says Rotellini. She also helps chapters form committees, and plan special events and educational programming. When the Central Ohio Chapter of NHF in Columbus took steps to merge, it had co-volunteer presidents and a volunteer board. With NHF’s guidance, the board determined what it needed and hired its first full-time paid executive director (ED) and part-time fundraiser. “We now have one and a half staff people in a chapter that didn’t even have an office nine months ago,” Rotellini says. The chapter has held its first fundraising gala and created a Web site. “They’re getting information out to the community and ratcheting up their education initiatives,” says Kleiber. The Central Ohio chapter also was chosen for a CSL Behring Foundation grant to create awareness for von Willebrand disease through messages displayed on gym boards in girls’ locker rooms. “It is a great way for the chapter to reach out to the local community and start becoming known in the community,” says Rotellini. The goal is to educate school nurses, who will refer the girls for further testing if they have symptoms. “My areas of expertise in helping the chapters are infrastructure, board development, strategic planning and building a volunteer base,” says Kathleen Roach. She will be working with Jennifer Crawford, NHF Director of Education, and other staff to help chapters implement programs that are part of NHF’s cooperative agreement with the CDC. “I envision the department providing strong education programs for chapters and HTCs to implement,” says Crawford. One is the new “Steps for Living” curriculum, which will provide information on managing bleeding disorders at all life stages. Input for the materials and resources will come directly from the community. “We’ll put as many chapter people, consumers and HTC staff as we can on the task force to help us build the program,” she says. “That’s how we operate—all of what we do comes from the community through us. We take the information, modify it to make it applicable to all and then disseminate it.” NHF will provide training on how best to use the materials and resources, which will be available online. A needs assessment survey, sent to chapters in July, will reveal what chapters want and how they want it. “We are assessing the best way to offer training. Is it through regional trainings, webinars or bringing in an expert?” Roach wonders. “A key component of our jobs as regional directors is finding the resources to make chapters successful.” Strengthening Statewide Advocacy Efforts During the last decade, advocacy for the needs of people with bleeding disorders has moved from the federal government to the state, says Bias. To bring the pressing issues of this community before state lawmakers, chapters will have to step in and step up their efforts. “Chapters will need to be more effective in delivering these messages state by state,” says Bias. To improve the effectiveness of their state advocacy efforts, chapters can rely on the experience and expertise of NHF Regional Director Michelle Rice and Ruthlyn Noel, Manager of Public Policy. Rice’s two teenage sons have hemophilia, and she empathizes with the community. “We’ve gone through a lot of the same insurance issues as other families—capping out on insurance, having a child in a high-risk pool and having the other on the state Medicaid program. I’ve dealt with all the red tape that goes along with those,” Rice says. “I want NHF to help educate chapters so they can ensure their consumers have access to adequate, affordable coverage.” Together, Noel and Rice helped guide the half dozen chapters and associations in New York through the process of planning and implementing a state advocacy day in April. “When it comes to advocacy, speaking with one voice is key,” Noel says. The legwork paid off—more than 50 people turned out for the first New York state advocacy day. The meetings with legislators in Albany are already bearing fruit. “A number of lawmakers have agreed to support legislation in both the state senate and assembly banning Tier 4 drug pricing in New York,” Noel says. Feedback from many of the participants was positive, says Noel. “They said, ‘I can’t believe we haven’t done this before. I am there next year. Just call me.’ ” As a result, NHF now has trained advocates in New York. “The New York State Hemophilia Advocacy Coalition is now an active group we can call to help generate support among patients on issues that affect the entire community,” Noel says. One of the issues chapters face are statewide changes to Medicaid. “We are trying to be as proactive as possible, letting chapters know if we see a problem with their state Medicaid program,” says Rice. She and Noel are available to conduct chapter training and provide guidance on talking points with Medicaid officials or at legislative hearings. Not all chapters have the same needs. “We have to tailor our advocacy to the individual states and to the individual chapters that we’re working with,” Noel states. For instance, chapters in some states are pushing for the creation of a statewide bleeding disorders advisory board, composed of healthcare professionals and people with bleeding disorders who will make recommendations on important issues to the state’s health commissioner and insurance director. “The board brings all the key players to the table to ensure our concerns are adequately addressed,” Noel says. So far, legislation establishing boards has passed in Illinois, Iowa, Texas and Ohio, and is pending in Massachusetts. “Standards of care” legislation is another consideration for chapters. To date, only one state—New Jersey—has passed it. Still, NHF’s public policy staff works with interested chapters. “In the last year we’ve supported efforts underway in Pennsylvania, Missouri and Alabama,” says Noel. “We’re also increasing efforts to get the insurers to back the standards.” Focus on Fundraising With contributions to nonprofits declining, chapters have to be creative when it comes to fundraising. NHF’s Development Department can help drum up ideas for increasing the cash flow. The new chapter standards hold chapters accountable for hosting two local fundraisers and one cooperative fundraising activity with NHF yearly. So far, the Hemophilia Walk program has drawn 10 chapters from across the country. Chapters lacking the resources to host a walk have other options. “We’re identifying restaurant chains that would allow chapters to get a percentage of their profits for one day during Hemophilia Awareness Month in March,” says Mary Ann Ludwig, NHF’s Vice President for Development. Although many chapters struggle with individual giving, the key is relationship building, says Ludwig. “We do a lot of training on ‘making the connection,’ so that once they have donors they learn what to do to keep them.” The mantra in development is: ‘It’s never no, it’s not now,’ Ludwig adds. Making the most of fundraising events is another goal of NHF’s development department. “These are not just feel-good events—they should raise money and raise awareness,” Ludwig says. “We want to help them go from being a small kitchen table organization to a larger fundraiser.” Chapters now have the benefit of a grant writer at NHF. Five chapters with similar infrastructure needs were identified as potential candidates for the CSL Behring Foundation Patient Grants, providing funding for innovative programs to hemophilia foundations, chapters and associations. The grant writer created a template for chapters to use in their applications. “We look for these and other opportunities to work collaboratively with our chapters,” Ludwig says. “When our chapters work with us, both the local and national organization benefit from fundraising efforts,” Bias says. “They want us to achieve that cure, we want to achieve that cure—the best way to get there is together.” Success Story Hemophilia of North Carolina (HNC), the only chapter in the state, has been transformed. As the recipient of one of NHF’s initial staffing assistance grants, it expanded its ED position from part-time to full-time and improved its ability to reach its community. “It’s allowed more time to interact with volunteers and increase our volunteer base. This is significant because quite a few of them are involved in writing grants, running programs for us, getting involved on committees and helping us with our second annual Walk,” says Sue Cowell, ED. HNC’s success can be measured by the number of programs it held in the first half of 2009—19—more than double the number in 2008. The programs serve a cross section of the community through a women’s retreat, a Blood Brotherhood program for men, an adult retreat and a legislative day. The Latin Union, a group for Hispanic members, meets monthly. For chapters that haven’t come on board with NHF, ­Cowell offers some advice. “Take another look. The resources are different from even a year ago. The Chapter Services Department helps you create a long-term plan to fulfill the chapter standards. They are very flexible.” Chapters have one overarching purpose—to serve their community’s needs. “Stronger chapters on the ground mean a stronger patient network, and that means better services for all people living with chronic bleeding disorders,” says Bias.

Coastrange sculpin, approx. 85 mm (3.5") TL. Location: Lower Smith River, CA. Date: c. 1993. Photo by Jason White, Redwood Sci. Lab, US Forest Service Small fish: usually less than 14 cm TL, capable of 17 cm TL Large head, slender body and caudal peduncle, complete lateral line Prickles behind pectoral fin only Pelvic fins reach the vent when flattened, pair of posterior nostrils, single chin pore Dark mottled coloring with white belly, 2 or 3 dark bands below and behind 2nd dorsal fin Rear edge of 1st dorsal fin lacks dark spot Adults have barred fins Breeding males have long genital papillae, orange spot on caudal peduncle, and orange band on first dorsal fin Pre-opercular spine (1) and 5-7 gill rakers Fin spines/rays: pelvic 1 spine/4 rays, 1st dorsal 8-10 weak spines, 2nd dorsal 17-20 rays, pectoral 13-16 rays Lateral line scales: 34-44 (complete) Life History Coastrange Sculpins are usually found in coastal streams within 20 km of the estuary or ocean, though they have been found living over 120 km upstream. Coastrange Sculpins primarily inhabit swift water in rocky or cobbled streams and they require areas with adequate cover for protection. Water temperatures are usually less than 20-22ºC. These fish often share their territory with Prickly Sculpin, Threespine Tticklebacks, and anadromous salmonids. Coastrange Sculpins feed mostly at night on insects and bottom dwelling invertebrates like clams and snails. Adults may eat other small fish and amphibians. In areas of salmonid spawning the sculpin may feed on stray eggs. The juvenile fish concentrate on the larval stages of mayflies, caddisflies and the like, while the older fish may eat the nymphs of such organisms. Adult Coastrange Sculpins may reach sexual maturity in 2–3 years and are believed to live up to 8 years. Most spawning occurs in an estuarine environment from January to March, though breeding may occur farther upstream and later in the year. Females lay 100-1,764 eggs per year, using the underside of rocks to hide their deposits. When the eggs hatch most of the larvae are swept downstream into an estuary, lagoon, or deeper river pool. The larvae take on a planktonic form for 3-5 weeks before settling to the bottom of a stream. From there the juvenile fish will grow and move progressively upstream. Generally speaking the younger fish live downstream of the older and larger fish.

Many of us have become concerned about the environment in which we live. All too often we see news reports that depict the polar ice caps melting or more animals becoming endangered due to climate change. Our over use of fossil fuels and the massive amounts of deforestation has caused a serious environmental problem all over the globe. But what about our forests here in the United States? Are they also endangered as well? The answer to this question is a firm no. The United States government has spent tons of money and resources training land owners and timber companies on the importance of selective harvesting. Gone are the days of clear cutting large tract of land in the United States. Now timber farmers all over the country cut their tract over the course of several years. After timber is harvested most timber producers replant their land in order for a new generation of trees to grow. Combined with fire management and other learned technics, timber farmers help produce a renewable source of timber that will last forever. So just how abundant are our timber forests here in America? There are more trees now in the United States than there was over 70 years ago! Most people don’t realize that we have over 504 million acres of timber land in the country. That’s a lot of trees! Much of this timber land is owned and controlled by the federal government. In fact, 191 million acres help make up our protected national forest system that we all can enjoy. Of these 191 million acres only 49 million acres are allowed to be harvested. This allows the rest to grow until full maturity never seeing a saw. Wood furniture is very sustainable Many of us might fall into the misconception that wood furniture just isn’t sustainable. But the fact is it’s much better for the environment compared to other materials. Take for instance plastic furniture which gets its start as crude oil. These types of cheap furniture are by products of fossil fuels that can never be replaced once they are used up. Metal furniture also takes more energy to make and adds pollutants to the environment while being forged. Wood furniture is one of the most natural and stainable forms of furniture you can buy. So where can you get top quality stainable wood furniture? For many years Newport Furniture Parts has been providing consumers and companies the finest in furniture chair parts.

Ask people who’ve never been what they associate with Australia, and you’ll hear things like deserts, beaches, surf, kangaroos and crocs. Did you know though that you can ski in Australia? I’m talking real snow, mountains, lifts, boozy hot drinks — the works. If you’re an Aussie local, you may want to skip this post, but if you’re an expat like me, this could blow your mind. Ski holidays are amongst my favourites. Slicing through (and falling in) fresh powder on a bluebird day, wintry nights snuggled up in front of a roaring fire eating calorie bomb bolognese, sipping mulled wine and getting overly competitive at charades with a big group of friends… what’s not to like? When we moved to Sydney a few years ago, ski trips were one of the things we’d reconciled ourselves to giving up trading for the beach. We knew there was decent skiing over in NZ but that seemed nowhere as easy as a roadtrip from NYC to Vermont. Shortly after I started working, a colleague mentioned he was leaving early to drive over to Perisher for a ski weekend. Say what?? Now mind you, this was July in Sydney, a time when the Harbour City is supposedly plunged into the depths of winter (but really it feels like a San Francisco summer). How could there be snow a few hours south, when it’s 20C in Sydney? We missed that year’s Aussie ski season and the one after 😦 But this year, we made it! Last weekend, we drove down to Thredbo. Nestled in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, Thredbo is a 500km drive from Sydney and part of Kosciuszko National Park. Now before I get into it, I should clarify that we didn’t have particularly high expectations. Pretty much everyone we knew had told us that “the snow was crap”, that there were “hills not mountains” and that “everything was twice as expensive”. I’ve never skied in the Pocanos but my husband grew up on icy East Coast skiing and had braced himself for man made snow, thin cover and short runs. To our delight, we couldn’t have been more wrong. Here are the highlights: 1. The conditions. Blue skies For starters, we lucked out with the weather. On an average year, Thredbo gets 196cm snow over a 4-5 month season; the night we arrived, the resort was dumped on with 30cm of fresh snow. Yippee! On top of that, we had blue skies, warm temperatures (barely a few degrees below freezing) and plenty of sunshine. Our second day however, they resorted to making snow and the conditions got a little icy. I can see how a snow dry-spell could wreak havoc. 2. The lifts Pure magic The lift situation turned out to be pretty good. Thredbo doesn’t have a gondola but the high speed quad “Kosciuszko Express” gets you most of the way to the top and it’s only a T Bar or two from there to the bowls. Also, the lines are short and very orderly. Having skied a few times in France, I have a newfound appreciation for Aussie queuing obsessions 😉 3. The Terrain This came as another pleasant surprise as we were expecting mostly groomers and some steeps. There’s some great tree skiing, lots of rocks and bumps, a terrain park and, if you take Karel’s T Bar to the top of the mountain, you can ski Golf Course Bowl, a gorgeous powdery expanse. Hiking down a treacherous section of Funnel Web Our last run of the day, we made our way down Golf Course through Funnel Web. Not for the faint of heart, Funnel Web is a double black that’s narrow and uneven with rocks and roots poking out the entire way. There are lots of trees, some powder and, at times, you have no option but to take your skis off and walk (crawl?) along the face of the mountain. It took more than an hour to get down and there’s no way I’d go back in poorer conditions / with lower visibility. 4. The Village Thredbo Village is charmingly European — another surprise, although I wasn’t sure what to expect. Kareela, the mountain lunch spot of choice (if you’re happy to splurge) oozes rustic charm and boasts waiters and waitresses dressed in traditional lederhosen and dirndl serving hearty Bavarian fare. Apple cider and smores at the Alpine Lodge One thing that never ceases to amaze me is the Aussie ability to drink, and Thredbo is no exception! In the time that I’d enjoyed my gluhwein and Niraj had had a beer, the three blokes next to us had downed a ski’s worth of shots — 15 to be precise, that’s 5 shots each. A few other tables were splitting a bottle of wine or doing shots themselves, and this was at lunch time, in the middle of the mountain, with a long run to the bottom. It’s a sight worth seeing! 5. The Skiers Fresh powder in the Golf Course Bowl Finally, I was very impressed with the skiers at Thredbo. For a nation with very little snow, the average Aussie skier seems pretty darn good! I suspect it may have something to do with Aussie ski school, which everyone seems to go through. When I learned to ski, I spent three days in ski school and took a couple of lessons after that, but I suspect that’s because I learned as an adult. A lot of my American friends learned to ski pretty much on their own — at most copying a sibling or a friend. It’s harder to nail that perfect form or go nearly as fast without some sort of professional training. The Aussie standard has definitely made me want to step it up! Overall, Thredbo gets a big thumbs up. It’s definitely pricier than other ski resorts and I can see why, especially as a family, you’d be better off making the trip to Japan (and getting some of that world class #japow!), but it’s not as terrible as people made it out to be. It’s no Utah or Colarado but heck, it’s just as good (better than?) Vermont! I’m looking forward to going back 🙂 Author Wandering TashPosted on July 27, 2015 August 3, 2015 Categories AustraliaTags funnel web, ski, ski australia, skiing, snowboard, thredbo, winter sportsLeave a comment on Skiing in a sunburned country

If I am a vegan, I am good. I cause less pollution, animals don’t suffer, and now I deserve my spot in the category of good. Most people will agree that it is a good thing to do. Still, our modern western culture is obsessed with these badges of goodness. There are many more or less controversial themes we could pick. I am not propagating being vegan or not. My intention is to see how this good/evil duality works. How being “good” keeps us from becoming great. After Miles Davis recorded “Kind of Blue” in 1959, he made it big time. It is the best selling record in jazz history. Recorded in a couple of sessions it shows absolute mastery in improvisation over very simple but beautiful structures. Miles Davis could have kept playing like that the rest of his life and have become rich and respected. But he was an artist. His values were creativity, contribution, risk taking, exploration, rebellion, and being constantly new and fresh on the cutting edge of music. So he turned his back on his success and changed his style. Now all his listeners had to keep up. Once they did, he was no longer crazy for having made the change. But Miles would change again. Over and over, he risked his whole career for a vision, an idea, music only he heard in his head. Bravery, excellence, artistic integrity, leadership, genius: are all to be found in abundance when you look at his body of work. While he did this, he cheated on his wives, did hard drugs, slapped women around, crashed his car drunk, pimped women, and was a terrible father to his sons. Still, the merit of what he was exceptional at is undeniable, and that combined with such a fighter’s heart. He was rough on his young fellow musicians too, getting the best out of them. You can go back and hear how ahead of his time he was, and his iron conviction was there, no matter how crazy the music sounded to the “Kind of Blue” nostalgics. Now was Miles Davis a vegan? So he polluted more than Bob Marley? Do you see how shallow and meaningless goodness looks in the presence of greatness? This is the discourse all around us nowadays. We are all running after cheap virtue credit points like they were Pokemon. If you can only convince the world that you are good by being anti-this and pro-that, doors will open. The good intentions overflow, but it is a path of cheapening the mystery of life. It has been leading us all the way to cancel culture and closer to a tyrannical society with social credit points like they have in China. There is the nuance-free, dualistic good-evil paradigm, and then there is GREATNESS. I personally think that someone with a vision and a reason for striving is much more beneficial to the world than someone who is merely focused on virtues like anti-that and pro-the other. They would not need all those parole-like issues if they had found a connection within themselves to something higher. Most people are followers. It is just the way it is. We are herd animals. People probably laughed at the Wright Brothers before their first plane took off. Most people will avoid the stress of chasing a dream, going against the stream; but we all enjoy air travel. Every gadget and invention we enjoy today was a result of someone crazy enough to dedicate their lives to a dream. Greatness is trying to blossom in every heart. That is why Miles Davis blew us all away. What he did was hard to do. We know it, it shapes an ideal in our minds, it is daunting and inspiring. He went beyond good and evil into greatness. He lived his truth without apologies. That said, would it have been better if he had not taken all those drugs, slapped women around, and all that? Yes, he left a lot of pain and destruction in his path. So I am not applauding that at all. I am saying that if greatness takes a hold of you and raises you up, being vegan or not becomes as banal as it should be. No one is on your side when you want to get laid. The church is against you, mass media, your friends, her friends, the educational system. If you make the effort to improve in this area, it requires you to sooner or later take a hard ego-killing look at yourself. It is hard to do; it is so much easier to not even try. Anybody who has done a cold approach has a reason to be proud of themselves. Most people have never done it. “I don’t want to disturb, I don’t want to offend, I don’t want to intrude”. In our age, we are haunted by loneliness like never before. I get it that you don’t want to disturb people. But it is a bit like the choice to be vegan and save the planet, or record crazy sounding “Bitches Brew” with electric instruments while everyone wants you to stay where you are and judge you as a sellout. To be a great person is hard. It means discipline, sacrifice, conviction and high levels of frustration-tolerance. It is much more comfortable to just appear to be good. What if really being great also means some people will see you as evil? Because you stand for something, you are willing to die for something, they can’t understand. Go beyond good and evil, apologize if you step on some toes, but don’t let petty stuff stop you from reaching your mountain top. Greatness is on the other side of pain.

A pair of snowshoe hares scattering from the shoulder remind me why I like to get up early. Hares mostly feed at night, but the first tender shoots of spring grass on the roadside has seduced these two into staying out late. My truck has put an end to their buffet, and I watch their giant hind feet launch them into the safe darkness of the rainforest. I have seen evidence of hares this spring—tracks in the snow, young willows scarred from browsing, droppings—but these are the first two I have laid eyes on. A winter coat of pure white does well to keep them hidden in the snow as long as they don’t move, and they are good at not moving. Now in mid molt, that white winter camouflage is disappearing with the snow, to be replaced with a more seasonally effective khaki coat. Aldo Leopold taught us that we can learn what years there were historical booms and busts in rabbit populations by studying the rings in a felled burr oak, but for more current snowshoe hare populations, we need look no further than their chief predator: the Canada lynx. The predator-prey relationship between these two has been studied extensively, and wildlife scientists are able to pretty accurately predict changes in the population of one, by surveying the population of the other. When I see hare, though, I am reminded less of lynx than of coyote. I cannot watch a snowshoe hare with remembering a particular large one I saw hanging limp from the clenched jaws of Wile E. trotting along the Alaska Highway in Yukon on a clear, cool autumn day a few years ago. The smile generated by my hare encounter and enhanced by my memory, is still with me as I walk alone down the trail to the beaver pond. Snow, liquefied by back-to-back days in the mid-fifties, cascades down the mountain and floods into the pond. For the first time this season, clear evidence of recent work is abundant. Freshly cut limbs drape the top of the dam, smaller sticks and twigs, tangled into a shallow spillway, do little to stem the water escaping across the trail. Two hundred yards downstream, the pattern is repeated when the flow reaches the next dam in a series of four or five daisy-chained impoundments, each with its own lodge, its own residents. Alone, I sit down on a root, pour a cup of tea, and watch. Here and there, scattered on the pond, icebergs the size of dinner plates await dawn’s death knell. I wonder if they know this will be their last sunrise. The resident pair of mallards watches me for a few minutes, then settles comfortably into their lazy morning routine. With each passing early morning visit, they seem to find their peace with me a little bit quicker, and I find this trend both pleasing and mildly disturbing. A familiar golden retriever bounding around the bend to say good morning send the ducks scrambling, and signals my time here is up. However friendly I am with 𝐶𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑠 𝑑𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑢𝑠, I do not expect weasel or beaver to share my affection. I visit with her, exchange pleasantries with her companion, then ease up the path to the start of the plank trail. Two ponds down the stair-stepping flow, I turn off the trail and pad through a thick mat of spongy moss. Beaver trails, worn for many seasons, crisscross the forest floor from the safety of water to favorite forages. I follow one of the trails to a high spot where I can quietly watch the water. At the far end of the pond, near the dam, a beaver raises its head, splashes forward in the shallow. The water is barely deep enough to cover its plump body, but it disappears nevertheless. I suspect it watched me coming, and decided I was close enough. I never see it again. Pouring a second cup of tea reminds me again of Leopold who had the habit of rising before dawn, brewing a pot of coffee, and sitting outside his little shack on the Wisconsin River to note each bird as it begins the day in song. It is too late this morning to note the first chip, trill, and warble of each species, but there is never a bad time to take stock of who is talking. Pacific wren, belying his tiny stature, musters his long, whimsical tune. Varied thrush whistles foul on some imaginary football pitch. Raven softly 𝑞𝑢𝑜𝑟𝑘𝑠 good morning. Pine siskins, already tending a first brood of fledgelings, keep track of one another: 𝑡𝑧𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑡, 𝑡𝑧𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑡, 𝑡𝑧𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑡. Song sparrow rises above the fray with repeated strings of chips, tweets, trills, and warbles. Bald eagle offers up a single, short series of shrill staccato barks. Red-breasted sapsucker drums a territorial warning on a tree trunk before swooping over the pond, crying a handful of shrill mews. The water remains still. Dawn is broken fully into morning, and activity in the pond seems less and less likely, so I walk back toward the trail, pausing to survey the dam. This one does not show the same fresh work as the other, in spite of a significant flow over the top of it. Perhaps the beaver I saw here is from the upper pond, or maybe it simply has other priorities, though it is hard to imagine beavers prioritizing anything over dam maintenance. In the 1960’s a Swedish biologist named Lars Wilsson conducted an experiment with captive born and raised beavers. Without ever having been taught to build a dam, all it took to set the young beavers working was the sound of running water. As long as sticks were available, wherever Wilsson put a speaker playing a recording of running water, the beavers tried to dam it. I will check back here later in the week to see if an interested beavers have heard this outflow. At the third pond, trail planks float on the rising water until my weight submerges them, allowing water to rush over the toes of my boots. Next time I will exchange leather for rubber. I have seen this water high enough to spill over the top of mid-calf hiking boots, and there is a lot of snow still waiting to wash down the mountain. This pond will be getting much deeper. When the trail passes through the muskeg, I spook another snowshoe. This marks the first time I have seen more than two in a single morning. It darts into dense, but leafless wood. Hares tend to have two responses to danger: freeze, or run. When they run, unless they are being actively pursued, they usually don’t run far. As long as they remain in sync with the season, they have pretty good camouflage, so running is usually followed by freezing. With this in mind, I stop to look and it doesn’t take long to spot the pair of white ears and single big black eye monitoring me. Before driving back to the house for breakfast, I cruise slowly to the end of the road. It is still early enough that I might find a deer or porcupine heading home after a long night of foraging. It isn’t until I am turning around at the dead end that I see anything other than American robins on the roadside. There, nibbling on fresh grass shoots at the edge of the road, is my fourth snowshoe hare of the morning, and this one does not seem the least bit bothered by the truck. Apparently hares have a third possible response to potential danger, that being ambivalence. In the same way the acclimatization of the beaver pond ducks to my presence gave me concern, I can’t help wondering if a fearless hare will be long for this world. But also as with the ducks, I am happy to have a subject willing to pose for my camera, even if he is a prime candidate for a Darwin Award. I roll down the window, and take portraits until the hare turns and bounds into the forest, ending my morning just as it began: hare there, and everywhere. My last photograph is of the bottoms of a pair of oversized white feet following behind a disappearing rabbit. Share this: Tweet Email Share on Tumblr More Pocket What do you think?

President Yoweri Museveni has emphasized that Muslims of Uganda are not extremists and despise terrorism because they are part of our society. He said the idea of Islamic extremism was a creation by some opportunistic foreign actors who were defeated, but warned if not handled well, it can become a serious problem. The President was today meeting with the Representatives of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resident in Uganda at State House Entebbe over the recent ADF terrorist attacks in Kampala and subsequent UPDF raids on ADF camps in Eastern DR Congo. The Heads of Mission included H.E Vladlen Semivolos (Russia), H.E Zhang Lizhong (China), H.E Jules-Armand Aniambossou, (France), H.E Natalie E. Brown (USA) and H.E Kate Airey (UK). Non-permanent members include H.E Kiema Kilonzo (Kenya), H.E Elin Ostebo Johansen (Norway), H.E A Ajay Kumar (India) and H.E Kevin Colgan (Ireland). The meeting was also attended by Uganda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeje Odong, the CDF Gen. Wilson Mbasu Mbadi, the Minister of Defence and Veterans Affairs Hon. Vincent Ssempijja Bamulangaki among others. The President said while the ADF claim to be an Islamic armed group, their ideology is not attractive and has been resented, forcing them to resort to abductions and killings. The meeting was aimed at sharing views on recent developments in the region and agreeing on a common way forward in line with the principle of association with the “holy trinity” which invites action from local, regional and international levels in support of peace and security efforts in the region.

A daring space mission has gotten even closer to reaching its goal of exploring the surface of a comet. A probe belonging to the European Space Agency will reach a critical stage in its mission on Wednesday- a prerogative that has spanned ten years and 3.75 million miles. This mission has been one of the most ambitious example of space research by the agency in an attempt to learn more about comets, with the project requiring a lump sum of 1.3 billion euros ($1.76 billion) to achieve funding. The probe, aptly named Rosetta, has been tailing Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko since its launch back in March of 2004. The journey required four flybys of Mars and Earth, using their gravitational force as a slingshot. It entered a 31-month hibernation to save power, and awoke last January when the time was right. It is estimated that Rosetta will be within 65 miles of the comet come Wednesday, slowly approaching until next November when it will be close enough to lower a 220-pound refrigerator-size rover onto the surface. Philae, the rover, will spend at most six months anchored to the comet running experiments on its chemical and textural composition. Astrophysicists have long thought comets to be clusters of dust and ice left over from the formations of the planets in the Solar System (instead of the harbingers of doom they have been portrayed as throughout history). In more recent years, the “pan-spermia” theory has introduced the concept of comets as the vessels that brought life to earth. In the early stages of Earth’s formation, comets may have brought water and organic molecules to the planet’s surface when they passed by. In the time before Rosetta, the ability to study comets have been difficult and rarely attempted. Some exceptions include the American probe Stardust, which brought home dust snatched from a comet’s wake, and Europe’s Giotto when it ventured to within 200 km of a comet’s surface.

Without a headphone jack, how do you listen to music on your smartphone with the headphones and earphones you currently own? As streaming services begin to support high-quality, high-resolution audio, are wireless earphones and headphones able to provide the full audio playback experience? How can you enjoy high-quality music playback or games with dynamic and realistic sound on your computer without an expensive high-end sound card? A&K's development team set out to create a product that would answer these questions. The USB-C Dual DAC Cable has been designed as an extension of the existing Astell & Kern DAP lines and features two Cirrus Logic CS43198 MasterHIFI DACs which supports native DSD256 and 32bit/384kHz playback. Astell & Kern’s expertise in audio circuit design has allowed them to create a complex and highly integrated circuit on a small, six-layer PCB the size of 14x41mm. In order to create a small device, micro resistors and tantalum capacitors, exclusively created for Astell & Kern were used. These same capacitors, which are used by AK DAPs, optimize the audio circuit to suppress power fluctuations, creating a USB DAC that provides stable operation and superb audio performance, the company says. The dual DACs are paired with an independent analog amplifier, designed to provide true audio playback and although it is a small and simple cable type external DAC, the circuit is able to sufficiently drive high impedance headphones with a 2Vrms (Condition No Load) output level. The device features a USB-C connection, which can be found on the latest Android-based smartphones and Windows and Mac computers. Since the circuit draws power from the playback device it is connected to, there is no need for a separate charger. DAC/Amp supports any headphone or earphone with a 3.5mm connector. For the connection to the smartphone, the company developed a custom-made, 4-core cable by wrapping silver-plated copper wire and copper wire in a spiral form around a center core made of Technora Aramid fiber, to block external noise and is reinforced to withstand up to 200N of tensile force. A separate shielding treatment is applied to the cable to block distortion and noise of digital and analog signals from the playback device. The silver-plated copper wire used in the USB-C Dual DAC Cable is thicker than typical silver-plated copper wire (0.3μm, usually 0.1~0.15µm).

My entire reason for existing is to help people. In such a superficial industry, it can be a little difficult to see beyond the gloss and find your "Why". I know for me, it's the connections I make with people. I am the ultimate introvert - socially awkward in a group but one on one, face to face, I become your best friend. Putting you at ease, running interference between you and that one bridal party member who's been driving you crazy, and really taking the time to figure out your specific vision to help you feel as beautiful and confident as you possibly can. I am not a social media artist here to contour you until you're unrecognizable. I prefer fresh, radiant looks that are timeless and pretty. ​ My work has been featured in Vogue, June Bug Weddings, Baltimore Weddings, Washingtonian Magazine, Glamour and Grace, SM Wish Bridal, Whimsically Wed, Equally Wed, Virginia Bride Magazine, Two Bright Lights, DFW Bridal Guide, Style Me Pretty and Washington Life Magazine. I just want to give you an update in case the hair color was maybe swaying your decision one way or the other. After 3 years of monthly bleachings to get it light enough so that I could get the pastel pink I loved it was clear that my chemical induced mullet meant I needed a break. So what's the next best thing to having really cool colored hair? Having a TON of luscious hair that I had attached to my wispy little locks that make me feel like a Victoria's Secret Angel. Also, I legitimately only have to wash it every 10 days. So don't be confused when the lady above doesn't arrive and you get some version of the me to the right showing up. Then there was the pandemic and makeup + cotton or disposable masks = dermatitis and I don't want to get makeup on my masks because it's difficult to wash out of silk. I spent half of my life with garbage skin and with my killer smile being covered by a mask there's very little reason for me to do anything on my own face. Part of me will definitely justify it by saying "I didn't spend any time on me so I could save all of my energy for you", part of me has had a dream for several years where my work would speak for itself and I wouldn't even be judged by the makeup I put on my face because I wasn't going to wear any, and the last, very practical bit of me had both of those things come to fruition. Despite my entire household being vaccinated (myself having gotten 4 shots in total), I have lingering and legitimate fear of the virus that took my dad along with over a million additional Americans to date so I'm going to wear these masks with their filters to, at the very least do my part to protect you from losing someone you love due to carelessness or ignorance. Some who have had the luxury of spending the last few years without mourning the loss of a loved one can call me scared, or a sheep, or whatever else they'd like. I'm just going to go on my merry, makeup-free way with the small peace of mind that I've done as much as I can to not kill anyone. As of July 2022 I remain entirely Covid free 😁.

Okay, I said I'd do a hypno huge sequel, but I'll do this one first. This is called "Photogenic" so as you can tell, it's focus is on a camera. (ha, thats like a pun or something.) Aidan always could find the weirdest shops, no matter where we were. It was no different in the bazaar in Morroco. He wound his way through the little carts in the streets, it was hard for my eyes to follow him. I saw glimpses of him as his tussled blonde hair glistened golden under the hot sun. I made contact with his evergreen eyes and finally wormed my way to him. He was smiling at a little woman as she passed him a camera. "Hey Julian! Take a look at this great camera. It's, like, an antique... I think." He handed me the camera for my inspection. I wasn't an appraiser, but it was safe to say the camera was old. It had a wooden frame and had that couragated paper front. I studied it and shelled out some money. Aidan stared at me for a second "Aren't you going to ask how much it is?" I snapped out of my daze of staring at the camera "Oh... yeah... Ma'am, how much is this?" She looked at the money in my hand, just a 20 and a 5. "This is enough." She said cheerfully and grabbed it from me "Thank you!" I looked at Aidan, who was just as amused as I was. "Come on, we've got a plane to catch." ------- The plane was humid and sticky, much like the weather we had just left. I was glad to be off it, away from the crying babies and loud senior citizens. I checked the camera as we rode from the airport. It was strange. Inside were several compartments, each shaped like a kind of film, even modern film types. "Hey Aidan... can we stop by a film place?" He nodded in agreement "Sure, but I don't think you'll find the right kind of film for that camera." I went to the shop and picked up a few sets of polaroid cartriges and slid one in. We headed for home. It was nice to be back in the old apartment. Aidan pulled off his sweaty shirt and searched in the fridge as I made my way to the living room. The soft couch was inviting after such a long trip. I sat down on it and looked at the camera a bit more. Aidan walked in with two pepsi's. In a bit of a joking manner, I pulled the camera and took two shots. Aidan covered his eyes and laughed. I took the two shots and began to shake them, kicking the developer into action. They caught my eye. I looked to Aidan. He wasn't a big guy, but he had tone. His tanned body weighed in at 150 pounds. Then I looked to the photos, he looked bigger in the photos. His chest and arms looked a bit bigger in the first, but I couldn't really tell. I looked at Aidan's legs, which in reality had plenty of room. But on the first photo they had less, and on the second, they filled the holes of his shorts. I studied the chest in his photo. It was beefier, it protruded from his body a bit. His shoulders were rounder.... I looked at Aidan as he sat down next to me. He opened his pepsi, and I thought I saw his arm flex. I watched him. I looked at his chest as he drank. It began to swell. I watched as his pecs bulged out, his nipple slmost moving up a little as the mass below it grew. I stared at his stomach as his abs became cut and defined. His arm wasn't flexing at all, it was growing. He didn't notice how big he was getting, or how strong. He accidentally began to crush his pop can. He felt the can crush and opened his eyes. He looked down and almost jumped when he saw what was happening. He climbed from the couch and tried to see what was happening all over him. I watched his legs pulsing. Each throb that registered in the muscle tissue caused it to grow, and soon enough, his legs swelled into the shorts. He turned to see his butt, which undoubtably was becoming uncomfortable, and I saw what was happening. His shorts were stretching tight across his butt, his lats were filling out, his triceps and back becoming far more cut and sensuous. I was watching what could only be considered a ballet of mass and power. He turned to me, panicking, his innocent face becoming more square and masculine, sitting atop a pillar of mass that was his neck. His heavy pecs topped his torso beautifully, and his arms for all their newfound strength could keep him from exploring this transformation with his hands. Aidan darted into the bathroom and jumped on the scale. He laughed in pleasure and exclaimed "200 pounds Julian, I'm 200 pounds!" I walked into the bathroom with the camera, running my hands over his solid frame. It was incredible. I loved it, and so did he. "Julian... 200 pounds..." He said, smiling in disbelief. I leaned over and whispered in his ear "Not for long..." •

I LOVE GOOGLE DRAWING!!! If you’ve been around here for awhile, you know how much I use Drawing or the Drawing features in slides. This post is dedicated to how I use Google Drawing to create my own images for activities and assessments. Google Drawing will download as a transparent .PNG image. It’s vector based, so if you make a large image it will scale without much degradation of the image. I once create panels for a tri-fold display board, printed them and glued them to the board. The images were crisp and looked professional.

Elements works with homeowners in Upstate of South Carolina. Because the Upstate is growing so fast, many times our clients do not live here, yet. Therefore, it is sometimes impossible to meet in person. Even with video conferences, such as GoToMeeting or Skype, things can still get lost in translation. Because of this, Elements has compiled homeowners resources to have full transparency with our clients. We made every effort to answer all possible questions with these new home resources. If there are unanswered questions, however, please feel free to contact us. Elements is always here when you need us, and we will prove that time and time again.
