The Master of Science degree in Resilient & Sustainable Communities (MRSC) is the first of its kind and is a truly unique program designed to instill in students the skills needed to develop, advocate, and implement fundamental changes in how our communities function. At the heart of the program is the understanding that attaining sustainability depends on the creation of resilient communities, able to adapt to ever-changing conditions and evolve without losing their fundamental identities. Students in the MRSC program will learn about land-use planning, economic development, energy production, food systems, and resource management, while developing skills in leadership, organizational management, and conflict resolution.
Highlighting Green Mountain College’s visionary bioregional approach to distance education, students apply the skills and knowledge learned to issues and ecosystems in their local area. This enables our students to go beyond conventional education and learn to identify and solve problems facing their own communities. The goal is for students to apply what they learn locally and to learn from classmates how similar concepts may take different forms in various settings. This style of applied learning is a natural expression of Green Mountain College’s independent spirit and our mission to advocate for social, environmental and economic sustainability. | 2019-04-22T20:47:46 | https://www.greenmtn.edu/gscommrsc/ |

There are so many Goa Beaches worth visiting and some of the most popular ones like Ashwem and Anjuna have many people, shops, and restaurants – but lots of visitors to Goa want to hop around Goa beaches that are quiet where they can relax in solitude to read, write, and be in nature without the traffic, noise, and crowds. If you want to chill and do yoga, and aren’t bothered with checking out the trance scene or popular restaurants, then these 5 beaches are something to consider!
Keri is in the far North, before the border of Maharashtra, near Tiracol Fort. It’s really quite beautiful, has just a few shacks, and is a place you can take a day trip to with friends. Be sure to follow the map and not cross the border, as you cannot take scooters and rent cars across the border.
It is also called Querim Beach and is very popular with Russian tourists who stay in Arambol and Morjim, although even so it stays a quiet beach with no development. It’s a real paradise in the North and with the bigger crowds in Morjim and Ashwem now, it’s a nice breakaway.
Check recent this list on to see guesthouses within a couple kilometers of the beach. It’s quiet secluded so I don’t recommend just showing up without a place to sleep.
Patnem, just five minutes North of Palolem is pretty much paradise unspoiled and one of the most picturesque beaches in Goa. You can walk from Palolem to Patnem, it’s just around the curve of the headland. Patnem is in between two cliffs. There are huge stretches of white sand and loads of coconut trees swaying everywhere, with a few coconut huts on the beach.
Take some time to visit Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary in nearby Canacoma. To stay, you can either do Bamboo Yoga Retreat, Patnem (check rates and book ) which do casual yoga vacations and you can go for Kranti Yoga Village Beach Resort (check rates and book ) for some more serious yoga.
I love Cola Beach. It’s tiny and hidden near Agoda. There is a freshwater lagoon just a couple hundred meters from the sea, scattered with coconut trees. So you have the backwaters coming right up to the beach and palm trees lining the sides of the backwaters where you’ll find the shacks to sleep and eat (there are only 4). The waves are also fun here for body surfing.
There are a couple shack options: has beautiful boutique style huts at around 3,000 Rs. per night including set-menu food. You can also look into which is cheaper at around 1,500 Rs. per night and has a restaurant.
Also in Cola is a yoga retreat called Little Cove Holiday Retreat– which does Ashtanga yoga. They offer Ayuvedic food and include cooking classes. You can stay for a holiday or do a . Rates start at around 4,000 Rs. per night.
This is a great Goa beach to come for the “real” Goa and some for a little peace and quiet. This area is a little more rural and not as popular for tourists. From Colva, if you continue south through Benaulim and Varca, you’ll reach Cavelossim. Further down is Mobor, then Betul. These are all above Agonda. The beaches look the same: long stretches of sand, dotted palms, and just a few shacks along the beach – but not Betual with is totally undeveloped.
While here you can visit nearby Cabo De Rama Fort and take time to see famous old Portuguese mansions like Braganza House in Chandor, Casa Araujo Alvares in Loutolim, and Palacio do Deao in Quepem.
This is a perfect and fairly empty beach in South Goa just below Patnem. There are some seafood shacks here, with lots of oysters, which are special in this area. Basic huts are around 500 Rs. per and are located along the beach. Surya Beach shack has some nicer rooms if you want something more cute and comfy. This is a beach that hardly anyone visits due to being so far South.
Since there’s not a lot to do at these beaches, you might be wondering: “why go?” It’s to be in a beautiful empty area and enjoy the nature and Goan vibes without the crowds. It is really beautiful at these Goa beaches, but if you want nightlife, shopping, or even to eat at good restaurants, these aren’t the best place for you. If you want to get away on a romantic retreat and see rural tropical Goa, then you will love this.
I went to Patnem years ago and was worried it would now be super developed. It’s great to know it’s still as chill!
Great Article! As an Indian, I do approve of all that stuff!
Nice article Rachel. I love India and went to Kerala but never to Goa, maybe next time!
Hi, I am visiting South Goa for the 1st time. Is it too quiet. we like partying but for us nature and peace is what we are looking forward to. have booked Simrose as fits out budget.any suggestions for stay? I am a food lover what are the best food options around south?

Mike Swain has been become the first recipient of the Geoff Owen Memorial Trophy, awarded to the Hampshire Seniors’ Cricketer of the Year.
He scored in excess of 1,500 runs playing for the England 70’s ‘Test’ side and Hampshire Over-60s and 70s this season.
It was fitting that Swain should become the inaugural winner because he and Owen, who died from cancer just before the start of the season, were long standing team-mates in the Hampshire 60s side and played against each other on many occasions in the old Southern League. They both played for England at 70s level.
A former Gosport Borough left-hander, Swain helped Hampshire’s Golden Oldies win the National Seventies Cup, scoring 989 runs in competitive matches, including five centuries and six scores of 50 or more.
He played three times for England, helping them win the ‘Ashes’ by scoring 223 runs. Swain also made 345 runs for Hampshire Over-60s this summer. | 2019-04-20T05:19:58 | https://www.vimpsatthecrease.com/latest-news/geoff-owen-memorial-trophy-award-winner |

Tauranga (Tauranga-moana in Māori language) is located along the Bay of Plenty in northcentral New Zealand on the North Island. It proudly displays monuments to the Māori people who first settled here in the 13th century. The city is also adorned with murals. Many of them are giant reproductions of Renaissance classics.
The northcentral shores of the North Island are defined by the Bay of Plenty. This is a large curved coastline called a bight. Historians believe this region is where some of the earliest Polynesian settlers landed their canoes during the 13th century and evolved into the Māori people. They call the area Te Moana-a-Toi. Tauranga is the region’s largest city with a population of about 140,000 residents. The boat and jet ski are approaching the city’s harbor after entering a channel between Matakana Island and Mount Maunganui.
Central Tauranga is on the Te Papa Peninsula meaning flat land. The original Māori tribes called their settlement Tauranga-moana. The first Europeans where British Anglicans. The Church Missionary Society purchased land from the indigenous people in 1835 to establish a mission station. In 1864, the British military built Camp Te Papa at Monmouth Redoubt at the northern edge of today’s central business district. As the town grew during the late 19th century and early 20th century, the Borough Council bought waterfront property for recreational use. In 1916, the East Coast Railway finished laying tracks parallel to the harbor. All of these historical events are evident as you walk along The Strand. The last major development was the construction of a bridge across the harbor in 1988. It connected Tauranga with its neighboring peninsula capped by Mount Maunganui. The Mount is a 761 foot lava dome formed two to three million years ago.
As you enter Tauranga Harbour, you are greeted by a sculpture of Tangaroa, the Māori god of the seas. The deity is holding a traditional warrior club (mere) and a battle staff (taiaha). Tangaroa’s crouched position represents wero, a ritual used to determine a visitor’s good or bad intentions. The 9.8 foot bronze sculpture was created by Frank Szirmay in 1973. Three years later, during the harbor’s centennial, the statue was positioned on a plinth at Stoney Point. The sandbar is submerged during high tide.
The Strand is a public park along Tauranga Harbour. It was originally called The Beach. Among its features are Waterworld, a playground, tidal steps, sculptures, a promenade plus cafes and taverns. The waterfront recreation area was developed in the early 1900s in response to the planned railway. The centerpiece of Te Papa Peninsula Gardens is Floral Steamer. The topiary was created in 1938 by Charles Cameron while the main gardener for the Borough Council.
Londoner Williams Herries immigrated to New Zealand in 1881 at the age of 22. A farmer by trade, he was a member of New Zealand’s Parliament representing the Bay of Plenty Region and Tauranga from 1896 until 1923 when he died. He was also the Minister of Railways and Minister of Native Affairs. Sir Herriers’ will bequeathed a sizable sum to the city. The money was used to create a garden at Herries Park within The Strand. This stone arch was erected in his memory in 1929 along the Edward VII Esplanade.
At the northern edge of The Strand are seven wooden carvings (poupou) by James Tapiata. The ensemble is called Te Kahui Matariki. They represent the Pleiades cluster of stars, part of the Taurus constellation. They are also referred to as the Seven Sisters. This figure is Te Kāhui O Matariki. According to the Māori culture, when Matariki appears for the first time in late May or early June, this signals the beginning of a new lunar year.
According to legend, Polynesians traveled in canoes (waka) from the mythological Hawaiki to New Zealand. Archeologists suggest the first landing was circa 1280. They named themselves Māori meaning normal. Tuti Tukaokao spent 22 months carving this 46 foot long canoe from a 300 year old kauri tree. Te Awanui was launched in 1973. This was the original name for Tauranga Harbour. When the Tauranga Moana tribe is not using the vessel for celebrations, it is displayed inside a hut named Te Urunga at the north end of The Strand.
Fisherman’s Wharf is a commercial landing for about 70 fishermen who troll the waters around Tauranga. You can charter an inshore or offshore trip to try your luck at catching snapper, yellow tailed kingfish and tuna. If you prefer eating fish and chips without the work, then walk no further than Bobby’s Fresh Fish Market. Judging from the smiles of patrons on the outside patio and sneaky seagulls, the food is highly recommended. In the background you can see inflatable water toys and swimming dock. These are part of Waterworld on The Strand.
Charles and Janice Williams are accomplished urban artists. As part of a crew called TMD (The Most Dedicated), the couple specializes in portrayals of Māori heritage. This mural entitled The Messenger was created in 2017 as part of the Paradox Tauranga Street Art Festival. This owl is called Ruru or Morepork. The bird is often featured in Māori folklore. Sometimes the owl is associated with the underworld as predictors of death. Other times they are a spiritual guardian (kaitiaki). If you look closely at Māori wood carvings, you will notice they often have wide eyes resembling an owl.
In 1864, the Battle of Pukehinahina occurred in Tauranga when an outnumbered group of Ngāi Te Rangi defeated a much larger British infantry. The same year, the British built a temporary military fortification called Monmouth Redoubt at Taumatakahawai Pā, an old Māori defense. The Armed Constabulary headquarters and barracks were vacated in 1898. Few remnants remain except some memorial plaques and cannons similar to the one under this Pohutukawa tree.
A pou is a carved wooden post used by the Māori people to mark their territory. Three pou whenua (or pouwhenua) were carved in 2013 by Whare Thompson and Damian Kohu for display on the Tauranga Police Station facing Monmouth Redoubt. This likeness is Archdeacon Alfred Nèsbit Brown. From 1838 until 1884, he converted many indigenous people to the Anglican faith as the minister of the Church Missionary Society mission in Tauranga. He was also pastor for the British 43rd Regiment while the soldiers were stationed at Te Papa.
At first glance, this carving resembles a totem pole. Look closer and you will notice it is two figures connected at the feet. Its name is Te Hononga O Nga Wai E Rua meaning Joining of Two Waters. It represents the collaboration formed by the Māori and the British after the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840. Their local relationship was strained for decades, culminating in the Battle of Gate Pa in 1864.
The site of the former post office in Tauranga is steeped with history. In the early 1860s, the Church Missionary Society built an institute here for training Māori people. Within a few years, it was confiscated as a military headquarters and hospital. At the end of the century, the Tauranga Government constructed New Zealand’s second largest building for county and borough offices. Tragically, it was destroyed by fire in 1902. Architect John Campbell designed this magnificent Imperial Baroque structure. It served as a post office and court house from 1908 until 1938. Ngāi Te Rangi iwi then office here until the Old Post Office was purchased in 2018 to become a boutique hotel.
Owen Dippie specializes in recreating Renaissance art on a grand scale. He was born nearby in Kawerau in 1984. His incredible talent with spray cans has earned him international commissions, recognition and awards. Fortunately, several of his murals grace the walls around Tauranga. This is OD’s 88.5 foot rendition of The Birth of Venus. The original by Italian master Sandro Botticelli was painted in the late 1480s and now hangs in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.
Charles Fredrick Goldie from Auckland originally created this likeness of Ina Te Papatahi as an oil painting in 1902. She is shown with traditional facial tattoos (moko) and smoking a pipe. The artist painted 17 more portraits of the Ngāpuhi chieftainess. From 1902 until 1941, Goldie continued to immortalize the images of Māori elders. His work is featured in several New Zealand art museums. Local artist Owen Dippie created this reproduction on Willow Street in 2012.
Since the early 1990s, Auckland resident Elliot O’Donnell has used the street name of Askew One when creating his urban art. His style is either flamboyant graffiti or large abstract portraits like these created behind the Tauranga Art Gallery in 2017. He describes his genre as Post-Graffiti Pacific. In addition to painting murals, Askew One does a considerable amount of studio work in Brooklyn, New York.
Tauranga Art Gallery opened in 2007. Its modest collection of historical and contemporary art is augmented by traveling exhibitions. TAG’s mission is also focused on educational programs for school children and the public. Tauranga Art Gallery is located inside a former Bank of New Zealand branch built on Willow Street in 1964. Admission is free.
The British used to call Australians and New Zealanders antipodes. This means they were diametrically opposite to people living in the Northern Hemisphere. Street artist Seth Globepainter playfully portrayed this in his mural titled Young Atlas of the Antipodes located at the entrance of the Tauranga Art Gallery. Children are his favorite subject for murals. The Frenchman’s real name is Julien Malland.
If you like eating – and who doesn’t? – then wander toward Wharf Street during your visit to Tauranga. This short pedestrian area is positioned as the culinary district. The restaurants are housed in old railway sleepers. There is also plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy your food, drinks and friends under the New Zealand sunshine.
Te Taha a Taurikura is a decorative water urn (gourd) carved from Hinuera stone by Tuti Tukaokao. It recalls the Māori legend of Taurikura, a young girl who refused to collect water. Remorseful, she swam down a river towards the harbor. During her journey, she was transformed into a tuatara. These are rare, greenish-gray lizards with evolutionary roots dating back 200 million years. The word means “peaks on the back’ in the Māori language. The two foot reptile lives only on small islands off New Zealand’s northwest coast.
JacobYikes was one of six street artists invited to the Paradox Street Art Festival in 2017 to splash life onto the bare walls of central Tauranga. This resident of Christchurch created a playful blend of nursery rhyme elements centered on Mother Goose’s “Old Woman who Lived in a Shoe.” Yikes calls his style Cartoon Surrealism. It is a unique blend of Salvador Dalí and Dr. Seuss.
17th century Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer focused his brushstrokes on depicting middle-class women. After his death in 1675, his work went largely unrecognized for centuries. One of Vermeer’s few masterpieces is Girl with the Pearl Earring. The 17.5 x 15 inch oil painting is displayed in the Mauritshuis art museum in the Netherlands. Local artist Owen Dippie created this 9.8 foot mural on the Kale Print Building in 2013.
This charming square villa was the home for boat builder Joseph Brain beginning in 1881. After his death in 1924, two of his unmarried daughters lived in the house until Elva Watkins gave the property to the Tauranga Historical Society in 1979. The residence and its contents have been frozen in time, offering a unique look into the lives of New Zealanders during the 19th and 20th centuries. The small admission price is well worth the tour inside.
In 2013, Owen Dippie created another tribute to Renaissance art in the unlikely place over the entrance of the Elizabeth Street Carpark. This black and white mural is patterned after The Virgin in Prayer, painted by Giovanni Battista Salvi between 1640 and 1650. The original is exhibited at The National Gallery in London. In 2015, Dippie created a stir when he painted The Radiant Madonna in Brooklyn, New York. This mural portrays the Mother of God holding a pop-art baby Jesus resembling a Keith Haring figure.
The Strand terminates at a cul-de-sac intersecting with Spring Street. Here is the place to grab a cup of Starbucks coffee, walk across the rail tracks and have a seat on a canopied bench. Lean back, sip and savor the view of Tauranga Harbour. You will hear the waves in front of you and the spraying water in a fountain behind you. Afterwards, you can stroll along the waterfront promenade in near solitude.
Matapihi Rail Bridge is a prominent landmark near the south end of central Tauranga. Commissioned by the East Coast Main Trunk Railway, the truss bridge was finished in 1924. It connects downtown with Matapihi peninsula across Tauranga Harbour. In the 1950s, a pathway was added for pedestrians and cyclists. | 2019-04-24T06:11:28 | https://www.encirclephotos.com/gallery/tauranga-new-zealand-north-island/ |

[dropcap color=”#008040″ boxed=”yes” boxed_radius=”8px” class=”” id=””]W[/dropcap]e had, through a previous article, suggested actively promoting e-Wallets as tools to tackle cash shortage post-demonetisation. Subsequently, the Government has announced that open tools such as UPI, USSD and AEPS are also available, which are even better, more comprehensive in reach and less costly. These tools make it possible for people to transfer unlimited amounts from their bank accounts, since physical currency is not involved, reducing the need for physical currency.
To start with, the Government hasn’t done enough to publicise these tools; a few mentions here and there on these tools through a couple of Pressers are grossly inadequate.
It is surprising that despite the availability of such an amazing suite of digital payment solutions ready at hand, the Government hasn’t done enough to exploit them to solve the on-going cash shortage crisis.
To start with, the Government hasn’t done enough to publicise these tools; a few mentions here and there on these tools through a couple of Pressers are grossly inadequate. Ask the tech-savvy, and you’ll see that even they have no clue what these tools are. Even publicising these tools routinely won’t get people to start using them, esp given the urgency with which we need to tackle the cash shortage by facilitating crores of people to start using these high-tech tools.
[dropcap color=”#008040″ boxed=”yes” boxed_radius=”8px” class=”” id=””]T[/dropcap]he vendors we watch on TV shows who have started accepting digital payment (mainly Paytm), are only the very early birds among the early adopters; they don’t even constitute 1% of the potential market.
If the Government is serious about getting tens of crores of people to start using these tools immediately to solve the cash shortage crisis, it should handhold people in using these starting from now, as the learning curve for the aam aadmi, esp for those in rural areas, the semi-literates & illiterates, the technology-challenged and the senior citizens, is fairly steep, despite the tools being easy to use. Mohammed will not go to the mountain; the mountain should come to Mohammed.
A large percentage of our population have low cost GSM mobile phones. USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service) will help them transfer money from their bank account to anyone else (vendors, friends, relatives etc) who may have bank account, in their own or any other bank, by simply dialling *99# and providing the recipient’s mobile number and the amount, validated by PIN number. The job is done and a message confirming the same is received.
Unified Payment Interface (UPI) helps people transfer money from their bank account to anyone else (vendors, friends, relatives etc) who may have bank account in their own or any other bank, by simply downloading an app on their own smart phone with internet facility, and providing the bank name, account number, IFSC code and the amount, validated by PIN number. The job is done and a message confirming the same is received. For subsequent payments to the same recipient, details can be stored and just recalled.
Aadhaar Enabled Payment System (AEPS) helps people transfer money through a Micro ATM (which is like a Card Processor) or Banking Correspondent, from their bank account to the recipient’s account (vendors, friends, relatives etc), in their own or any other bank, by simply providing one’s own Aadhaaar number, the bank name and the amount, validated by finger print (verified from Aadhaar database). In addition, cash withdrawal and deposit are also possible here.
All these are extremely simple processes which typically take less than half a minute per transaction. They come with proof of payment (not available with cash payment which only encourages generation of black money) and will get crores of people used to cashless transactions. Yet, since most people are not used to digital payments, there’s some learning involved. They are quite safe, though the typical precautions like keeping PIN number secret are necessary. Illiterates may need the help of others to use USSD and UPI, but not for AEPS, because AEPS involves the vendor/ Banking Correspondent, anyway.
Of course, options like bank transfer, withdrawal or payment using debit/ credit card in banks and ATMs, across the counter withdrawal in banks, usage of e-Wallets etc. are also available.
Crores of people wait in queues outside banks, ATMs and Post Offices, wasting their time. The Govt can give tokens to these people and use their waiting time to explain about these tools in great detail, either inside the bank premises or in any available public space; they can even give printed handouts, giving urls of sites where these can be demonstrated in the form of PPTs, animations, etc. Still better, they can organise demos where the public can even be allowed to try by themselves. Even Rural Cooperative Banks can be involved, as this doesn’t involve demonetization, not even re-monetization. The services of NGOs and volunteers can also be used.
Additionally, all DD channels can keep playing Powerpoint presentations (PPTs) and demos on the use of these tools so that people can view them at homes at their convenience, any number of times, and convince themselves about the ease of their use. The DD channels can also invite viewer questions and answer them through experts. A standard set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)s can be played repetitively.
Tech-savvy people can teach the not-so-tech-savvy around us so that they can continue with their business and lives without being adversely impacted by the cash crunch. Almost every family is likely to have kids/ youth who can understand these tools better, and they can be trained first, and they can train others at home, in turn; this will speed up the process of propagating use of these tools.
Apart from all these, the Government can incentivise the early adopters, esp small trade and rural poor consumers, in some form. Even a lottery with attractive prizes will incentivise many to take the initiative and go digital for making and accepting payments.
[dropcap color=”#008040″ boxed=”yes” boxed_radius=”8px” class=”” id=””]L[/dropcap]ast but not the least, these payment systems can be named to be more catchy and people-friendly. For example, AEPS can be called Aadhaar Lena Dena, UPI can be called Smart Lena Dena and USSD can be called Mobile Lena Dena.
Once all this is done, it will not only mitigate the immediate sufferings of people who seek cash substantially, but also get them used to digital way of transacting money for the long run. Once they taste this, a lot of people will realise that it makes better sense to keep their cash in their bank accounts, earn interest, and make most of their payments through these means, which will lead to reduced cash requirement almost immediately, and lead us to a cashless society in the long run. Though all this will work better in urban areas, we may be surprised to see how well it works even in rural areas.
This won’t compromise on the checks and balances in the process of collection of old notes, as this process has nothing to do with collection of old notes.
This will reduce the crowds at banks and ATMs. More of physical cash can be routed to rural areas where fewer people may adopt this, to start with. Every problem is an opportunity in disguise. This is one.
The root purpose of demonetisation can only be served when whole of legitimate purchasing power is preserved in the hands of owner/user in whichever usable form as possible including plastic, bank transactions, transfer, cash or even some barter system.The exercise will be defeated if whole amount of earlier available cash is literally replaced with new cash as is being demanded by some interested sections.
Dear Mr. Arvind, I’m Ganesan, one of the authors.
PIN Number is like a password, typically 4 digits. You can set the PIN number you want, for which there’s an easy provision, and you can keep changing it if you want. You’ll get to see all these during the simple demo.
And we have not even wanted the Govt to advertise these tools spending a lot of money. The Govt is advertising anyway, but without the measures suggested herein we believe the money spent on the ads is wasted. The Govt can make a success of it if it just does the suggestions herein, or any other measures of handholding the people.
Excellent Article. I particularly welcome and fully endorse the suggestion of widespread demos across the whole of India. Similarly, the proposal of giving cash/other incentives to early users is great. What is simultaneously needed, especially for senior citizens, is some sort of a pocket dictionary educating them about the basic requirement/s of in using any/all of the various digital tools mentioned in he article. For example, I myself am unaware of what “PIN” means. I have a PAN and I know what it means, but PIN to me means the Postal Code of my residential locality. Overall, the article makes it clear the the ruling government in Delhi (and State governments, of course) will have to spend large sums on advertising the available tools of digitalisation. How I wish the media of all kinds had come up with such an article as the PGurus Investigating Team has put out, instead of indulging themselves in stories of all kinds instead of spreading rumours of all kinds. | 2019-04-20T02:18:46 | https://www.pgurus.com/secure-open-digital-payment-to-tackle-cash-shortage-post-demonetization/ |
The Umbria is a region of central Italy. With an area of 8456 km ² (6334 in the province of Perugia, Terni in 2122) is one of the smallest Italian regions and the only one that is not located on the borders by land or sea, in the nation.
It is also the only region of the Italian mainland that bathes the sea. Bordered to the east and northeast with Marks, west and northwest Tuscany and the south and southwest by the Lazio. Also, is this an enclave in the Marches, in the municipality of Città di Castello. The regional capital is Perugia, in Italy, Perugia. The official language, as in the rest of Italy, is Italian.
In the literature, sometimes called green Umbria cuor il d'Italia ("the green heart of Italy"). The phrase is taken from a poem on the Odes Giosuè Carducci Barbarian (1877), although the issue is not Umbria but it a particular place, the source of the river Clitunno.
The territory is dominated by hills (by 63%) and mountains (31%) and has a tiny flat piece of land (6%) .
The region offers a variety of morphological and landscape through the succession valleys, mountain ranges, plateaus and plains, which are the dominant geographic feature. Its topography is dominated by the Apennines, with its highest point in the mountain region bordering Vettore Marks, with 2476 meters. The maximum altitude is reached in the eastern part of the region, in the Sibylline mountains (Monti Sibillini, 2,478 m). In this area there is the Sibillini Mountains National Park.
The highlight is the river Tiber Umbria walking in north-south and forms the border with Lazio about, but its source is right on the border of Tuscany. In the valley of this river is the lowest point of Umbria in Attigliano (96 m). The three main tributaries of the Tiber flows south through Umbria. The basin is relatively uninhabited Chiascio until Bastia Umbra. About 10 km beyond the Tiber joins Torgiano. The Topino, open the Apennines by steps that followed the Via Flaminia and carretras its successors, and makes a sharp turn at Foligno to flow in a northwesterly direction for a few kilometers before joining Bettona Chiascio below. The third river is the Nera, which flows into the Tiber further south, at Terni, its valley is called Valnerina. The upper Nera cuts ravines in the mountains, the lower-basin Chiascio Topino is in a fairly large floodplain.
In antiquity, the plains were a pair of interconnected shallow lakes, the Lacus Umber Clitorius and Lacus. Were dried by the Romans over several years centers, but an earthquake in the fourth century. C. and the political downfall of the Roman Empire that resulted again flooded the basin. Was drained for the second time over five hundred years: the Benedictine monks began the process in the thirteenth century and ended Foligno engineer in the eighteenth century. Currently, the most prominent lake is Lake Trasimeno Umbria, with an area of 128 km ² the largest of the Italian mainland, fourth in size among the Italian lakes after Lake Como Such an extension is given with a shallow (mean 4.3 m, maximum 6 m) so that the Trasimeno falls within sheetlike lakes.
It has a continental climate, so temperatures vary greatly, especially considering the differences in altitude. In the plains and hills type is mild Mediterranean sublittoral or altitude, with summer droughts, while in mountain areas is mild continental and, on the highest peaks, cool temperate, with rainfall often particularly notable otoño.2 spring and annual average temperatures of the most important centers are usually found between the 11.2 ° C of Nursia and 15 ° C from Terni passing through Spoleto 12.9 ° C, and 13 , 1 ° C of Perugia and the 14.2 ° C Foligno. Elevation has a role: Nursia, to 604 m has an average temperature of the coldest month (January) of about 1.1 ° C while Perugia (493 meters) and Spoleto (396 m) have values of about 3 ° C more (Perugia 4.0 ° C). Terni is surely the Umbrian city has milder winter weather (6.3 ° C in January). The average temperatures of the warmest month (July) vary between 21 ° and 25 ° Nursia Terni (Perugia: 23 ° C), but with peaks exceeding 40 ° in the Valle Umbra. Precipitation is generally between 700 and 1,100 mm (Perugia: 893 mm), but are distributed in a very limited number of days: between 80 and 100.
To these must be added the National Park of Sibillini Mountains shared with the Marche region, where the headquarters of the park. | 2019-04-26T04:31:44 | https://italiaphotogallery.blogspot.com/2013/03/umbria-is-one-of-smallest-italian.html |

While it’s definitely best to start training multiple days in advance for an eating competition so your body has time to gradually adapt to the changes you are wanting, sometimes things come up suddenly and there is nothing you can do about it. This situation happens to me sometimes, and I know that it happens to other eaters too, where we may find out about an eating competition just a few days before the event. Because most eating contests are not marketed very well, this will more than likely happen to you too, where a friend tells you about a contest just 2 days in advance. You may want a week to train for your competitions, but if you want to compete in this contest you only have 48 hours to get ready. While you don’t have the time to reach your maximum potential, you still have plenty of time to prepare enough to get close. Lucky for you, we have prepared a simple, effective plan and schedule that you can use to train for your eating competition starting 48 hours in advance.
Before reading this plan, make sure you have read How To Expand Your Stomach Using Food, How To Expand Your Stomach Using Water, and Expanding Your Stomach Using Food AND Water. Without understanding those 3 articles about how to prepare in a week, you won’t fully understand this article crunching everything down to just 2 days. Also read The 24 Hours Before Your Eating Competition to find out what to do the last 24 hours beforehand if using one of those 3 plans. In all four of those articles, you will find mentioned that you need to do a “max out meal” around 18 to 22 hours before the competition. That is your last meal eating solid foods before the competition so that your body has time to flush out all the food you have eaten so that you are ready to fill it back up to capacity with more food during the event. This meal still applies to the 2 day plan too, so make sure to schedule time for a max out meal between 18 and 22 hours before your eating event so that you can be ready.
Set the time of your max out meal – You may have 48 hours before the competition, but you don’t have 48 hours to prepare using food. As stated above, the max out meal needs to be 18-22 hours in advance, and is the most important event in your training plan, so establish when you will be doing it. Let’s say you work a full day on Friday and then do your max out meal at 6pm which is 18 hours in advance. It’s not the end of the world if you can’t do it until 7pm or 8pm obviously, but the more time you allow your body to empty itself, the better.
Water, water, & water – All of these tips throughout this website are meant for people 18 and older, and if people are tagging you in a Facebook event page for an eating contest, you are probably already a bigger eater and water drinker regardless of training or not. Therefore, it is okay for me to recommend drinking a lot of water on that Thursday and then Friday too. Start off your preparations on Thursday at 12pm with chugging 1 quart (liter) of water. Then continually work your way up throughout the day, and then repeat the cycle on Friday. Increase by 1 pint (16 fluid ounces) every few hours, depending on how the last “chug” went. If your 1 quart chug went just fine, step up to 1.5 quarts 2-3 hours later. If that goes fine, step up to 2 quarts 2-3 hours later. If the 2 quarts did not go down that easily, try the same amount again 2-3 hours later. More than likely, it will go down easier the 2nd time. Don’t advance too quickly, and let your body adapt gradually. This will allow your stomach muscles to relax more so that they are more accepting of an increased amount of food while you attempt your challenge.
Big Meal #1 – Have a regular lunch on Thursday along with an increased amount of water (to start your water training), and then don’t snack so that you can have a big meal on Thursday for dinner. Since your max out meal will be Friday at 6pm, try to schedule a large meal on Thursday at 6pm. You don’t want to completely max out, but you want to make the meal really big. You can have meats like chicken and fish that are more easily digested, but focus a lot on quickly digested and water-filled vegetables and fruits. After your big meal, make sure to chug more water until you feel your stomach stretch. This will help you be ready for Friday’s max out meal. You don’t really want to chug water after this meal because then you will be up all night peeing.
Friday before the max out meal – Because of the big meal and stomach stretch on Thursday, you will find chugging your water (2 quarts max) a little easier on Friday morning. You may want to just have 1 quart when you wake up with a normal breakfast and then 2 quarts two hours later after your body has woken up a little. Chug water throughout the day on Friday (never increase by more than 1 pint) up until 2 or 3 pm so that you can be ready for your max out meal at 6pm. Hopefully people aren’t mad at the increased # of bathroom breaks!!
Max Out Meal (Big Meal #2) – You are not going to eat a lot on Saturday at 12pm if you don’t train by eating a lot too, so go all out, but don’t be stupid and eat so much that you throw up. Like any max out meal, focus mostly on vegetables and fruits that are easier on your digestive system. It is okay to throw in a few meats, carbs, and other foods, but make sure to focus on veggies and a few fruits for flavor. When you get to the point when you can’t eat any more and you are chewing without wanting to swallow, finish off your training with a pint or two of water. After this meal, you are done consuming solid, heavy food until eating competition time on Saturday.
Saturday morning (competition day) – Hopefully you were not out partying until the early morning hours on Friday night and got a good night’s sleep (I know from experience that it is not smart). Since your eating competition is at noon, you may want to get up a little earlier than normal so that your body is awake and ready to eat. Wake up around 6am and then chug some water just to wake your stomach muscles and body up around 7am. If you are a person that cannot function without eating something for breakfast, make sure to have something that is not solid such as a protein shake, meal replacement shake, or yogurt. Have this before you chug your water at 7am. Again, I don’t suggest chugging over 2 quarts (liters) of liquid. If chugging 2 quarts was easy, then it is okay to step up to 3 quarts as long as you do have a protein shake or some yogurt beforehand and mix in some type of liquid with electrolytes such as a sports drink. Once you are done drinking, don’t eat or drink anything other than a few sips of ice water until the timer starts to begin your BIG eating competition.
That is a really good example schedule and training plan to help you train for a last-minute competition. Obviously, you need to design your training plan based on your own schedule and when your event is. I have related training for eating competitions to training for other athletic events in many of these Stomach Capacity Training articles, and the comparison applies here too. Many studies have been done on runners and other athletes to compare “crash training” to training over a longer period of time. All research has shown that it is much more effective to train and prepare hard over a longer period of time than it is to train really hard for a shorter period of time. For maximum results, you need to let your body gradually adapt to changes rather than expecting it to change rapidly in just a few days. As you know, True Stomach Expansion Takes Time, and therefore it is better to train hard for a week than to train really hard for just 48 hours before an eating competition. Contests do come up spur of the moment though, so now you have a very good foundation of information to base your training plan off of so that you can make sure you are ready to dominate and win!!
Before you begin chugging water, make sure you have read The Extreme Dangers Of Water Training.

Andrew Everest, immigrant, was one of the Englishmen who settled early at York, Maine. As early as 1646 he had a farm there and had marsh lands laid out to him (York deeds I, p. 29). He took the oath of allegiance to the Massachusetts government, Nov. 22, 1652. He was living as late as 1673, when he witnessed a deed at York, and again June 5, 1680, when he and his wife Barbara (or Barbary) sold land at York. He deeded land as late as March 18, 1681-82.
(II) Isaac, son of Andrew Everest, was born about 1650, perhaps earlier, died Jan. 26, 1697, at Guilford, Conn., where he settled, being driven from Maine, doubtless, as were most of the settlers, by King Philip's and the later Indians wars. His wife Johanna died at Gilford, Nov. 8, 1703, aged fifty-three. He was a farmer and weaver at Guilford. He was admitted a planter, Nov. 6, 1680, and lived at Nut Plains.

Backpacking to Titcomb Basin in Wind River Range of Wyoming should be on every backpackers "to do" list. The rugged terrain offers massive mountains with spire towers, clear glacial lakes, high alpine grassland & wildflowers, and world class hiking, backpacking, and climbing. Titcomb Basin is truly a pristine and special place.
The Wind River Range has two main areas popular with backpackers - the Northern & Southern range. The Northern range is home to Titcomb Basin and the Southern range is home to Cirque of the Towers. Both are fantastic areas, and deciding on an area really depends on what you want to see first. Visiting each area would require separate trips (unless you have an unlimited amount of time off from work). We decided to visit Titcomb Basin as our second trip to the Winds, and turned it into a 4 day backpacking adventure.
The Wind Rivers can be challenging - there are several passes to cross, the weather can change at any time, and hiking at a high elevation with a big pack on can also slow people down. You won't regret visiting the Wind Rivers - it's definitely a special place that I hope to return to again.
Use this map, if you are driving from SLC.
The road is paved the entire way to the TH so any car can make it. There is no fee for parking overnight.
Distance and elevation gain will vary depending on your route and how many days you spend there. Expect to hike over high elevation passes, rocky terrain, forested sections, and exposed areas. Be prepared for all kinds of trail and unexpected weather. A minimum of 2 nights is recommended to backpack here. We backpacked & day-hiked 40 miles over a 4 days, 3 nights.
When is the best time to visit? Typically the best months to visit are late July, August, and early September, but it all depends on snowpack. Some years when snowpack is high, you may not be able to access the trails until August. In low snow seasons, you can access the trails as early as June. Call the Bridger-Teton Forest Service to check on snowpack levels when planning your trip. Thunderstorms and afternoon showers are common during summer months in the Wind Rivers. There is also a year round possibility of snow at this elevation, so pay close attention to weather and be prepared for any change in conditions.
How difficult is it to backpack in the Wind Rivers? This depends on your experience, fitness level, pack weight and weather. There are no technical areas of the Wind Rivers, but climbing over passes are required, depending on your route. You should have a few backpacking trips under your belt, and be comfortable carrying up to 30-40 lbs for hours on end. As always, the lighter your pack, the easier your hike will be. More weight = harder hike.
Can I bring my dog? Yes, dogs are allowed off leash. It is a good idea to always have a leash handy, in case you come near wildlife. Dogs should be able to hike for long distances and over rocky terrain. Dog poop is not required to be packed out. Note that this is designated grizzly bear habitat and food storage regulations apply for backcountry users, including dog food.
What's the elevation gain like? It depends on your route and how many miles per day you backpack. The low point is at the Elkhart Park TH, which is at 9,100 ft, and our high point was roughly at 12,500 ft. Elevation sickness is a real possibility, so know and understand the symptoms.
Are there requirements for food storage? Yes, as of 2017 the Bridger-Teton National Forest has a Bear Safety and Food Storage Order in place. You must either hang your food properly or use a bear canister. It is also wise to carry Bear Spray with you at all times.
What about water? There is plenty of water along the trail, from lakes and streams. You will need to carry a water filter such as the Sawyer Mini or Platypus Gravity Filter.
How bad are the mosquitoes? Mosquitoes will be the worst until Mid-August; after that, they tend to die out, but it all depends on water level each year. Be prepared to carry 100% deet. I also recommend using Permethrin by Sawyer on your clothing as an extra precaution from getting bites. Permethrin should not be applied while wearing the clothing - apply outside, while clothes are hanging. I applied two coats - let each coat dry before the next application.
What guidebook or map do you recommend? We used the Beartooth Publishing map called the "Wind Rivers Topographic Map - Northern Half", which costs about $17 on Amazon with shipping. If you are backpacking into the Cirque of the Towers, you'll need the "Wind Rivers Topographic Map - Southern Half ".
Here are some of the highlights from our trip.
The parking lot can fit about 70 cars.
Even though you will park at the Elkhart Park Trailhead, the trail you will follow is the Pole Creek Trail.
The first 6 miles looks the same - very gradual terrain and very forrested. You can see anything until you reach Photographers Point, 4.7 miles in.
You will pass several trail splits in the first 5 miles, make sure you stay left for all of them.
Charlie takes a swim in one of the first big lakes we passed.
Around mile 9 you will reach Seneca Lake. This is a very popular camping area, and if you can, venture a litte further to get away from the crowds.
Little Seneca Lake & Mt. Lester.
Campsite on the first night.
Day 2 we headed for our main destination - Titcomb Basin! This would be the shortest day for us. Only 5 miles to our next campsite.
Beautiful wildflowers! These are Purple Asters.
Ahh the grand view!!! This area was SO gorgeous!
The water was incredibly clear, but also freezing! I was hoping to swim but it was just too cold.
You'll notice that I turned off my tracking on the map pretty early on near Titcomb Lakes. This was to protect where we camped, and keep it slightly "secret", though there are plenty of amazing campsites in the basin.
Our sweet campsite! At night we could put the rain fly on to keep some of the wind out and keep us warmer. Even in mid-August we woke up to frost.
We left Titcomb Basin, and headed for a different area - Indian Basin. I ran into a friend in the parking lot at the TH and he recommended we day-hike to this area, so we did!
Indian Basin was amazing and still had a lot of snow!
This is not actually a glacier, this is just remaining snow from the snowpack of Winter 2017. Keep in mind that Pink Snow is bacteria, you shouldn't let dogs drink/eat it.
Nearing Indian Pass. We were able to stay mostly on trail, by following footprints and cairns. I also used my Gaia GPS to make sure we headed the right way.
Family photo at Indian Pass! It was much colder at 12,500 ft!
Photo by @iBoyer from our campsite the last night! The peak in the center is Fremont Peak.
Charlie had a blast, and hiked and ran so much we finally wore him out!
Was this post helpful! Share me!
Titcomb was my first multi-night backpacking trip and probably my favorite. I need to get back up there!
Going to the winds for the first time in July 2019! Thanks for sharing your experience. One question for you - Did you see many people along the trails?
Awesome - it's one of our favorite ranges. YES to lots of people, especially for this area. You won't be alone. We happened to backpack out the day the eclipse was happening and literally passed around 200 people. It was INSANE! But that was very random. Normally you could expect to see at least 30-60 people minimum here. However, you'll still be able to find nice campsites especially if you hike here during the week. We're going back to the Winds this summer again for the 4th time, but different area. Have fun! | 2019-04-20T22:52:06 | http://www.girlonahike.com/2017/08/backpacking-to-titcomb-basin-wind-rivers.html |

Micro-moments are critical touch points within a consumer’s journey and when added together, they ultimately determine how that journey ends. Examples of micro-moments include researching a product in-store, finding the nearest restaurant or perhaps buying movie tickets while sitting in the doctor’s waiting room.
Immediate Action: Consumers can now act on any impulse at any time, taking immediate action whenever they want to learn, find, do, or even buy something.
Demand for Relevance: When consumers act on their immediate needs, their expectations are high and their patience is low. This makes the quality, relevance and usefulness of your marketing more important than ever.
Loyal to Needs: Consumer preferences and purchases are shaped in the micro-moments. Ultimately, the brands that do the best job of addressing consumer needs in each moment will influence the consumer the most. It is important for you to be there when your customers need you.
Smartphones and mobile marketing are one of the biggest opportunities for companies to connect with consumers, and grow their brand and revenue. Best of all, it is currently a very cost-effective marketing opportunity for businesses – this window of opportunity is closing.
On the subtle side, there is the question of reputation. How do you feel, or what do you think when you’re about to close a business deal with a global company that can not be found on the Internet? | 2019-04-21T22:39:51 | https://nhadec.com/member/wsi-we-simplify-the-internet/ |

Our parent helpers were very productive today in putting together the Maths pencil cases for the Year One students. We very much appreciate your input in creating these fabulous resources for the children. Thank you all, we can’t wait to use them!
Today in your child’s homework folder you should find a bookmark with a list of fun ‘decoding’ skills that you can practise with them during daily home reading. On the back, there is also some useful reading advice on how you can assist your child at home and make reading a fun part of family time.
A reminder that class readers are exchanged every two days by the Education Assistants. Please aim to get your child to bring their folder in and place it in the tub each morning.
Our History Unit – We Need You to Start Collecting Items!
- When I was a Baby (bring something in for next week): Items may include a baby photo, a special item of clothing, a favourite toy, a baby item such as a bottle/dummy, etc.
- When I was young (bring something in for week 8): Items may include a favourite book, a special toy, something that you made, a photo of you hitting a milestone, a certificate or medal.
- Now/In the Present (bring something in for week 9): Items might include a current family photo, a favourite toy or sports item, an item from the house, a photo of a current pet.
- In the Future (bring something in for week 10): What do you see in your future? Is there something you would like to learn to do? Is there an achievement or a goal that you would like to reach? You could draw a picture or print out a picture of something that you would like to see in your future.
Please bring in only one item from each category in the following weeks. We will need our special items at school by each Thursday in time for our History lesson.
I would like to meet with all parents before the end of Term One to discuss how your child is progressing and how we can work together to support them throughout Year One. Next week I will send home a preference sheet for meetings and parents can select a preference from the allocated times. In the meantime, if you have any questions about your child and their learning at school please let me know. At this stage I am looking at time slots in week 8 and week 9. Stay tuned for further information.
A reminder that this Monday is a Pupil Free Day. The staff will still be at school attending a professional development course based on the social/emotional education programs ‘Friendology 101’ and ‘Kimochi Dolls’.

If you went to a lot of Melbourne gigs in the ’80s and ’90s then chances are you saw at least one of the Waterline crew at some point. Members of the band cut their musical teeth supporting acts like Do Re Mi, The Runners and Paul Kelly. And if you remember The Church, Hunters and Collectors, Australian Crawl, Hoodoo Gurus, Joe Camilleri, Paul Kelly, etc etc with great fondness, then this band is for you!
But not only do these Melbourne boys and girl draw strong influence from the Aussie rock and pop sounds of the heady 80s, they also put their own slant on the style, injecting folk, reggae, blues and storytelling elements into the mix. This ensures they retain their own identity and a slightly more modern vibe in their sound. Waterline’s unique mix of idealism, humour and social commentary is not to be missed.
Special thanks to Renato Dalla Vecchia for the professional website photo.

Discussion in 'Development and Improvement section' started by JD666, Jun 26, 2014.
As most of you would've noticed that there have been some changes. A lot is work in progress to develop and enhance the forum software and features to the latest and most current. We've upgraded the forum software, and are now working on the plugins and add-ons thanks to our team.
If any issues/faults/errors are seen, please try and share and provide information here.
Also if any other feedback with regards to the look, feel, do mention here.
a user rig gallery where users can list their products , pricing on them etc ... helping others to decide on their config ?
about the rig gallery ..
a forum section with a form or template like structure where you can enter the names of the components of your rig and its price at which you bought it for. And also a space where you can upload max 5 or so pics of your desk setup.
the pricing part can be omitted though ..
A share button is a must ,, right now only twitter share in operational.
I'll add the FB option and make it more prominent.
For the Rig Gallery - we can have a Gallery type addon for just this specifically. Noted.
if you are on erodov you can check its rig gallery which is quite dead now .. but i was talking about the same format.
Done, Facebook Twitter and G+ integration is live.
I tried my had at new logo ..
You fellas want a thee dee lawgau?
Flatish -- nothinng like MS Word Art ..
Will need to order , I think I got the last one from Stuge in January.
You can create your albums with images and use the Description to put in what ever spec info you want.
Let me know if you come up with a name better than "user albums"
I am using default theme and it needs to be customised for RAID colouring scheme and logos and stuff.
but wait for it, or atleast carry on whatever changes you are making.
What is confusing about Metro ?
where are the ?#@*&%!^$~ing quote?Spoilers? in rich text panel?
The colouring is not apparently clear.
or tell me I am a complete retard compared to everyone of you here, who are having a smooth sail around.
See when you ambiguous terms like "everything" "the coloring" it doest help your cause , try to list down the problems you see find, individually , an then we can have a look.
If you click on the buttons of the rich text editor , the options are all there, you don't have to be so mechanically rigid all the time.
They are not visible as yet in on the Community Main Page.
- Would you like to see them there ?
Once you go into a forum there you see the subsection as usual.
I hover over all the buttons, the one says INSERT, now having been on forums for eternity INSERT doesn't actually tell me that the usual BB code are inside this place.
Secondly, the number of posts by the user are visible now, but they were not visible when I posted this message.
The page number is slightly less black for current page compared to the old orange and black theme, even if it not orange it should be white or different colour.
To give you an example the Indian news is subsection of News section, it is not directly visible without the drop down. Not a good design in my eyes. The subforum should be visible directly, not through a drop down.
It is clean and minimal but it is obscure at the same time. | 2019-04-20T20:50:36 | http://www.raid101.com/community/threads/raid101-version-2-0-feedback-thread.2640/ |

This photo is a follow up to my posting on ‘Whitehouse on South Uist’ really just to show you that not all the Whitehouse concrete buildings were a failure. This one survived and looks like it is a working farm, I bet somewhere there are the remains of a Blackhouse, the original home.
Nice pic! When you read about the number of people who lived on the islands (and elsewhere on the west coast) in the 18th and 19th centuries, and you look at the landscape, you really wonder how it managed to support them (sadly in many years it didn’t). It must still be difficult making a living as a farmer up there. | 2019-04-23T18:13:24 | https://blosslynspage.wordpress.com/2014/07/14/a-south-uist-farm-outer-hebrides-scotland/ |

The new service is called UPS Exchange Collect and is a technology-based electronic payment possibility that synchronizes movement of goods, information, and funds between exporters and importers.
The exporter (seller) and importer (buyer) agree to the purchase and sale terms and specify UPS Exchange Collect for financial settlement.
The exporter ships the goods via UPS. UPS notifies the importer via e-mail that the goods are in transit and that payment must be received before the goods will be delivered.
The importer electronically transfers payment for the goods to UPS.
After UPS receives payment, it delivers the shipment to the importer.
Upon verification of delivery, UPS electronically remits the payment for the goods to the exporter's designated bank account and notifies the exporter via e-mail of payment remittance.
Derek Woodward, vice president, international marketing for UPS, says that, "on average, sellers receive payments via UPS Exchange Collect in 10 days or less, a major improvement considering that payment in some international trade transactions can extend up to 90 days on traditional credit terms."
To learn more about UPS Exchange Collect, talk to your UPS account representative or call 800/782-7892. | 2019-04-24T08:43:12 | https://www.mhlnews.com/transportation-amp-distribution/money-moves-faster-international-trade |

Jose Lepervanche knew he was at risk of a cardiac event. He even tried to prevent it.
He just wasn’t able to keep trying.
Not even after the first time his heart faltered.
Jose’s heart journey began in the early 1990s, while living in his native Venezuela. After experiencing some chest pain, a checkup showed his cholesterol was rising and he needed to take better care of his health.
Jose’s job transferred him and his family to Miami in 1994 and his schedule got even busier. As he traveled internationally, exercise and healthy eating again slid down his priority list.
In 2001, a doctor recommended he start taking statins, but Jose was reluctant because of potential side effects on his liver. He also vowed to stick with a better diet and more exercise. He took the medication, but not regularly.
Next came an attempt to slow his lifestyle and focus more on his health, first with a job as a professor of management and information systems at American Intercontinental University in Weston, Florida, then other online universities.
Still, the damage was done.
While backpacking with his son in Ocala State Forest, Jose felt fatigued, dizzy and oddly cold.
“My son joked that those were symptoms of a heart attack,” Jose said.
A follow-up visit with the doctor showed indeed Jose had experienced a minor heart attack. That’s also when he learned his cholesterol remained high, and he had some minor blockages that may one day require stents (tiny mesh-like tubes that prop open arteries).
This time, when the doctor prescribed medication, he took it as directed.
He also took healthy eating more seriously, dropping from 230 pounds to 205.
Two years later, Jose was in the woods again, this time at the Woodruff Scout Reservation near Blairsville, Georgia.
A leader in the Boy Scouts for more than 25 years, Jose was the Scoutmaster on this trip for a group of 25 scouts and eight adults.
Jose collapsed while talking to some scouts. He’d gone into sudden cardiac arrest.
His son Alejandro, who was 15 at the time, called for help, and five other scout leaders (Kevin Newman, Coleen Harris, Phyllis Saxon, Mark Tolleson and Brian Buchanan) applied CPR while waiting for the ambulance, stopping only to apply five shocks by the automated external defibrillator (AED) brought by camp Emergency Medical Technician Brian Hendrick. The senior youth leader, Scott Fleischmann, and his youth leadership scouts directed the troop members to spread out in the road with flashlights to guide the ambulance, which arrived 45 minutes later.
Still unconscious, Jose was taken to the local hospital, then transferred to the Ronnie Green Heart Center at the Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville, Georgia, with his wife, Flor; Alejandro and another son, 25-year-old Daniel, at his side.
Doctors used therapeutic hypothermia to protect Jose’s organs and limit the risks of brain damage. He regained consciousness two days later, then underwent a catheter procedure and quadruple bypass. A few days later, doctors installed an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), which uses electrical pulses or shocks to help control life-threatening arrhythmias, especially those that can cause sudden cardiac arrest.
Three months later, Jose was back camping with his Boy Scout troop. A year later, he was cleared to return to more rigorous activities, including caving, repelling and white water rafting.
“I just need that experience of camping to re-energize,” he said.
The cardiac arrest occurred July 1, 2007 – so he’s celebrating his 7-year anniversary of a second chance at life.
Jose, who just turned 60, is making the most of it by keeping himself fit through walking and his Boy Scout activities. He makes sure to wear a heart rate monitor when doing more strenuous activities such as his regular Zumba class.
His ICD has shocked him four times, once during a 15K race. Jose limits himself to 5K races now and is careful to keep his heart rate in a safe zone.
He rarely eats red meat, focusing on healthy portions of fish, lean poultry and vegetables. He takes a daily aspirin, plus beta blockers and cholesterol medication.
Following his sudden cardiac arrest, Jose has been involved in raising awareness about CPR and heart health through the American Heart Association. He participates in the annual Heart Walk and speaks frequently on heart-related issues. A video about his experience is used in local Boy Scout CPR and AED training.
“I think everyone should know how to CPR, because you never know when something like this is going to happen,” he said.
He treasures his second chance at life. Cardiac arrest is often fatal, with only 10 percent of patients surviving when it occurs outside the hospital.
He founded an advocacy and support group called 4 Healthy Hearts in 2010 to promote life balance as a way to keep the heart healthy and works to raise awareness about the importance of CPR/AED training. He has worked with the American Heart Association in its efforts to make CPR training part of high school graduation requirements.
Do you know a “Story from the Heart” we should tell?
Send an email to [email protected] that’s as brief or as detailed as you’d like.
I agree, eating healthier and exercising is good for you – thanks AHA for everything you do. | 2019-04-25T11:47:56 | https://newsarchive.heart.org/stories-from-the-heart-longtime-boy-scout-leader-no-longer-taking-chances-with-his-health/ |
Dr. Mike shares traumatic stories about the way the idea of Hell has scared him and scarred him, and subjected him to bad church theater, as we begin looking at different Christian views on Hell: Is it a bad place for bad people? Is it the sad fate of unbelievers? It it the threat of fading away when you die? Why are some people so obsessed with it? | 2019-04-23T04:42:51 | https://www.parablechurch.com/audio/2018/5/23/wthell-pt-1 |

Another sugar source this time an unprocessed sugar from Mexico. Traditionally used for baking and desert recipes. In the culture and fermentation world, it is used for making the South American water kefir strain, called Tibicos or Tibi. It has a very rich taste which will transfer to the finished beverage.
Definition: Piloncillo tibicos sugar made from pure, unrefined sugar that is pressed into a cone shape. It tastes very similar to brown sugar with a molasses flavor (even though it does not contain molasses) and you can use it for anything that calls for brown sugar. Its name means "little pylon" because of its shape. The smaller cones are usually around 1 ounce and the larger ones around 8 ounces. They come in light, "blanco" and dark "oscura."
This sugar replaces the need for dark brown sugar and molasses in culture food recipes. Great sugar source for tibicos grains or water kefir starter. Will make a stronger tasting beverage over white or cane sugar.
Note: Product brand may be different than image. Because of it nature, organic Piloncillo is hard to find. | 2019-04-19T09:23:11 | http://store.organic-cultures.com/mepicasu10ca.html |

I really wanted to give out those mini Heath bars but the only packages I found in the Halloween bins in the front of Shaw�s were the variety packs that also contained Whoppers, and Whoppers are gross.
So I pick my go-to trick or treat candy: Reese�s Peanut Butter Cups. Sorry, peanut-free trick-or-treaters, you�ll have to skip my house again this year.
I may have gone home and changed costumes when I reached the advanced age of 12 and 13 and went around the neighborhood twice. Because getting twice as much candy was totally worth compromising my moral integrity for one night a year. Plus I knew my time was running out. Dressing up like a hooligan and going begging at the neighbor�s house for candy was only cool for so long. The door was closing fast on the trick-or-treat opportunities in my future.
How I loved those days when my sisters and I arrived home after school and raced to our booty where, being the latchkey children we were, we could enjoy the luxury of eating as much of it as we wanted without parental intervention. We operated a Halloween candy stock exchange, trading treats. Reese�s Peanut Butter Cups had high market value. Tootsie Rolls were junk bonds. As the days passed and the overall supply of candy dwindled, Tootsie Rolls gained value when the Reese�s Peanut Butter Cups were all eaten.
Negotiating now takes place inside my own adult head as I try to estimate the number of times the doorbell will ring and the sufficient number of treats to have on hand so I end the night with no net gain. I want all the candy gone. Magically delicious milk chocolate and peanut butter combo, I see you coaxing me over to your van to ask me if I�d like a ride. Not going there. Nope.
So I try to buy only what I think I will give out. My apologies to that last kid who ended up with a package of crackers last year. Oops, I slightly underestimated. | 2019-04-20T08:22:50 | https://www.newportri.com/5254cbdd-326b-5141-a36a-546a5aeb6082.html |
TD finishing have recently finished the installation of several new powder coating oven facilities for one of our regular customers. The customer is a global company with nine European facilities, three in the USA and one in Asia. Specialising in the supply of power distribution solutions and protection equipment. Due to growth the client has just acquired and fitted out two brand-new manufacturing facilities each with their own powder coating. One near Preston, U.K. and the other in Dundalk, Ireland.
Having already bought three powder coating systems from TD Finishing the customer trusted they were the right plant supplier for the new facilities. The two new facilities each have an online powder coating oven for the processing of sheet metal at a track speed of up to 1,000 mm/min. Manual powder booths were also installed on each of these lines.
For larger items and infrequent colours, the customer was also supplied with an offline gas-fired box powder coating oven (capacity of 4,200 mm Long x 3,200 mm wide x 3,200 mm high). This alongside a manual, open-fronted, cartridge-filter powder coating booth allows for greater flexibility and production output from the new facility. To ensure that expected manufacturing capacity is met, the facility was also increased by relocating the existing TD finishing box oven and manual booth from their facility in Kendal.
The customer has experienced a steady continual growth and now supply a wide range of global industries including data centres, pharmaceutical, energy, power generation and nuclear. They also support hotels, financial institutions, shopping centres offices, media centres.
Due to this high demand on their products, quality and uptime is of paramount importance. TD have continued to support their growth, and now the customer has installed three TD finishing online powder coating systems with manual booths, as well as three off-line manual booths and three TD Finishing box ovens.
The powder coating of the clients manufactured Busbars required an altogether different approach. For this process TD finishing supplied an automated, indexing, Fusion-bonded-epoxy (FBE) system. This requires each flightbar once loaded with components to go through a process of pre-heating. This was carried out in the first of two high level gas-fired TD finishing ovens. Once at temperature the flight bar is transferred at a speed of 8,000 mm/min to the station above the FBE fluidized bed. Here the components are dipped in to the specially formulated powder, via a highly accurate, HMI-controlled linear drive unit, with transfer speeds ranging from 2-40 m/min. Following dipping the flight bar is then transferred to the second oven for the final curing process to occur. This system was capable of handling items up to 800 mm high x 800 mm wide x 3,100 mm long and a maximum load of 300 kg.
TD finishing supply a wide range of industries with paint and powder coating plant, each one is a bespoke and customized solutions for each client’s specific needs. This means TD can supply the wide range of finishing industry requirements, from the open front powder coating booth and box oven. To the fully automated power and free FBE coating systems. TD also supply fully automated wet paint facilities, including power and free conveyors, IPC HMI control systems and programable robot paint facilities.

The Benchmark Company's Gary Mobley this morning raised his rating on shares of chip maker MIPS Technologies (MIPS) from Hold to Buy, with a $10 price target, writing that his estimate for the present value of the royalties from the company's 580 patents is $183 million, or $3.40 per share, given that "technology patents have become a valuable business currency."
MIPS's patents are "fundamental to the way 32-bit and 64-bit RISC processors are configured," writes Mobley, and the U.S. patent system has aided the proliferation of "patent trolls" such as Acacia Research (ACTG) and Tessera Technologies (TSRA).
Mobley writes that it's difficult to know the exact value of each patent without doing extensive due diligence. However, "Admittedly an over simplification, the current rate per technology patent has ranged between $500,000 and $1.5 million. The midpoint of this range would put the value of MIPS' patent portfolio at $435 million, or ~$8.00/MIPS share."
With 41 billion chips expected to be shipping by 2016, " it is possible a court could find that some portion of MIPS' competition is violating MIPS' patents relating to SIMD (single instruction, multiple data), security and/or multithreading, to name just a few of the technologies supported by MIPS' patents."
Moreover, every $100 million more that MIPS can get for its patent adds another $1.90 to a "base case" for MIPS's patents of $4.84 per share, Mobley argues.
MIPS shares today are up 47 cents, or 7%, at $7.07.

2015 is THE year for every human on planet Earth to add their voice to the demand for action to stop climate chaos.
To make sure the tide turns we need you to take to the streets and add your voice to build a magnificent crescendo of public outcry!
Creating the change we need will take a lot of planning, so we've got a lot planned—make sure you're planning ahead too!
March 14th: Harper's dangerous Bill C-51 would give CSIS and the RCMP unprecedented powers, creating a secret police force that will be used to push Harper's oily agenda. It's come to light that the RCMP are climate deniers; by contrast, the US security establishment views climate change as real and a dangerous threat to national security. Under this bill anyone who speaks out about climate change could become a target—the RCMP actually considers "eco-terrorism" a more serious threat than ISIL. Thousands of us took to the streets in dozens of rallies across the country. Check out the coverage.
April 11th: The First Ministers of every province and territory will be meeting in Québec City. They'll be discussing climate change and tar sands pipelines, and we're hoping to see tens of thousands of people there to make it crystal clear: we want concerted action! The experience in Quebec is not one you want to miss—get on the bus! (get your bus ticket and accommodation). Can't make it to Quebec? In Toronto we'll be going to the doors of MPs with Block Parties to Block Energy.
July 3rd-6th: Just before the Pan-Am Games, Ontario will be hosting the Pan-American Climate Summit. We're excited that this is happening, and yet we know that in order to see the ambitious action that is needed we're going to have to press hard. So we'll be running a weekend of climate action, culminating in some BIG events. You don't wanna miss this one!
Early December: The United Nations climate summit (aka COP21) will be in Paris this year. This will be the make or break conference for a universal agreement on real action to deal with climate change. Their website says "We're counting on you!" Join people in communities around the world to say loud and clear that we're ready for monumental change. | 2019-04-20T02:32:38 | https://www.toronto350.org/streets |
Last week, the Angeles Crest Highway reopened. This is great news for motorcyclists, and probably bad news for California motorcycle safety statistics. Why? Because every weekend when the weather is nice, bikes go down on the Angeles Crest Highway. Just ask the bartenders at Newcomb’s Ranch, the place for food or a drink within forty miles of it’s location atop the Angeles National Forest. According to them, “several serious accidents occur there every Saturday and Sunday” during summer months.
The CHP’s accident data supports this. CHP motorcycle accident statistics show that 164 motorcycle accidents occurred on the Angeles Crest Highway in 2007 and 2008. Eight of these accidents were fatal. Excessive speed was the primary factor in almost all (98%) of them.
Recently, the California Office of Traffic Safety was given “Motorcycle Safety Coalition Grants” by California Office of Traffic Safety from the NHTSA (National Highway Safety Administration). Some of this money will go toward a concerted effort to enforce speed limits on the Angeles Crest Highway. In other words, watch out this summer if you are riding your motorcycle up the mountain on old Route 2. From now through September 30th, the cops will be out en masse. And they are there to write tickets.
We hope that this does reduce the number of motorcycle accidents in Los Angeles. But we also hope that if you’re riding up that way on a sunny Sunday morning this summer, you watch your speed, and don’t get a ticket. It’s the second fastest way to ruin a beautiful ride. | 2019-04-20T03:20:44 | https://www.riderzlaw.com/motorcycle-blog/2011/06/chp-cracking-down-on-motorcyclists-on-angeles-cr/ |

Medicare tries its best to give seniors the medical coverage they need in order to enjoy their retirement years in the best possible health. However, there are certain gaps in Medicare Parts A and B which, if you neglect to cover them, can end up costing you thousands. Thankfully, this is the reason that Medicare supplement insurance exists – to protect you from these coverage gaps. Medicare Advantage is one such form of supplement insurance. We’ll discuss the pros and cons of Medicare Advantage in this article.
Some people refer to Medicare Advantage as a “Medicare replacement” policy. This is not far from the truth. These policies are sold by private health insurance companies which provide coverage that is equal to or better than Original Medicare. This minimum level of coverage is required by federal law. Once you purchase an Advantage plan, the government will no longer pay out claims on your Medicare-related procedures. That responsibility of your new health insurance company.
Living in South Dakota, as opposed to somewhere like Florida or New York, will have you paying dramatically different rates. There are many other circumstances, such as age, weight, and current health status, which will influence your specific monthly premium.
The popularity of Advantage plans is significantly influenced by price. As you can see, HMOs are much more popular than the others. It should come as no surprise that they are also the most affordable plans. PPOs and PFFS plans are more costly, hence less popular. The differences in price are directly related to each plan’s provider network.
Your provider network determines where, when, and how you can get the medical care you need. Smaller, less expensive networks (like HMOs) will limit where you can get care, and there are expensive penalties for seeking care outside of the network. Larger networks, like PPOs or PFFS plans, are more expensive but give you more options as far as doctors and hospitals go.
Despite the hassle of provider networks, Medicare Advantage plans have a strength when it comes to ancillary coverage options. You have the option to add dental, vision, and/or prescription drug coverage (under an MAPD plan) to your policy. With most other supplements, you would be purchasing those coverages either separately, or not at all.
Are you within your IEP, or is your IEP approaching soon? If so, then you’re in luck. Enrolling in Medicare during your IEP virtually guarantees you coverage with little hassle. And when you enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan during the same time frame, it will be much easier to get approved. You are more likely to run into trouble if you enroll after your IEP has expired, if you are outside of your Special Enrollment Period, or if you have a serious medical condition such as ESRD. However, your state department of insurance or your local insurance agent may be able to help you get covered. For more information, you can also take a look at our Medicare Advantage Enrollment Options page. | 2019-04-26T10:44:32 | https://www.medigap.com/medicare-advantage-part-c-south-dakota/ |
God, clarify my mind as I read Your Word and purify my heart that I may not share the sin of the world opposed to You.
Reflect: WHAT IS THE END FOR THOSE WHO TRUST IN WHAT’S FALSE?
Today’s reading is about as bad as it gets: a whore dressed in purple sitting on a scarlet beast drunk with the blood of the saints. The many waters on which she sits represent the inhabited world (15). Through every false form of worship and honor given to all that is false, she has enticed the whole world to unfaithfulness to God and adultery against him. She rides on the beast through history, but which has seven “heads” or specific expressions—Egypt in Moses’ time, Babylon in Daniel’s time, Rome, which would be spoken of at the time of John’s writing as the one who is ruling (10) and in the last days, the Anti-Christ, the one who has still to come (10).It is easy to be overwhelmed. But at such times we need to follow John into the wilderness (3) where, with clarified minds and attuned spirits, we can receive the good news. And it’s worth waiting for: “the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings” (14). Christ will win because he has already won at the cross. And we, his called, chosen, faithful followers, will be caught up in his victory.
Keep reading verse 14 and resolve to be faithful!
Father, help us to see the nearness of Your coming and live accordingly. | 2019-04-25T10:46:15 | https://devotionals.pathwaychurch.com/devotionals/2017/12/12/good-news-or-bad-news |

Alzheimer’s may in some cases be as manageable as HIV/Aids by 2025, the head of Britain’s new Dementia Research Institute (DRI) predicts.
Speaking after the announcement of his appointment as director of the £250 million UK DRI, the world-renowned Belgian neuroscientist told the Press Association: “We won’t be celebrating in 2025 that dementia is cured, but I hope that by then there will be groups of patients who can be treated in much the same way HIV-Aids is treated today.
Prof De Strooper, who is putting together a multi-disciplinary team of doctors, biologists, engineers and data specialists working from centres across the UK, said he hoped to see “real surprises”.
He added: “I’m a scientist so I don’t look into crystal balls but I would put a lot of money on saying that the next generation will have a completely different view of dementia disorders.
“In just the same way Aids in the 1970s and 80s was seen as a terrible doom or punishment of the gods, but is now manageable and treatable. Cancer has gone through a similar process – the way we look at cancer today is quite different from what it was a generation ago.
In a key shift to previous approaches he intends to broaden research beyond the “amyloid hypothesis” on which so much work up until now has focused.
The hypothesis places clumps of sticky protein fragments in the brain known as beta-amyloid at the heart of Alzheimer’s.
Beta-amyloid “plaques” are recognised as a key hallmark of the disease, but precisely what their role is remains unclear.
Prof De Strooper said: “The amyloid hypothesis is an old hypothesis from 25 years ago. Since then we have acquired so much information that can’t fit into the simple amyloid hypothesis.
“It would be an over-simplification to reduce Alzheimer’s to amyloid. The main problem is not that the hypothesis is untrue, but it is very old-fashioned, simplistic and linear.
“Dementia is likely to be much more complicated, in a similar way to cancer, which we now know is caused and driven by a multitude of factors. I hope progress in tackling dementia will go faster than it did with cancer.
“At the Institute we will approach dementia as a complicated, multi-factorial disease. Inflammation, biochemistry, cellular changes – all these things are likely to have an influence.
However, he was in no way dismissive of the new wave of amyloid-targeting drugs now undergoing clinical trials.
So far none of these drugs have proved their ability to alter progress of the disease in large-scale patient studies.
Last month, scientists suffered a serious setback with poor results from solanezumab, an antibody drug designed to halt the build-up of beta-amyloid, in a Phase III trial.
Prof De Strooper said: “People see the failure of these drugs, but I think they have a very good rationale. In a couple of years it’s possible that we’ll be able to define what categories of patients these therapies will work for.
The accent on bringing together talent from different sides of science would see mixtures of experts working together in the same team, he said.
Prof De Strooper added: “My priority in the first year will be to improve our mechanistic understanding of the disease. We’ll be taking a multi-disciplinary approach to the problem.
He stressed that the Institute would not just be looking at Alzheimer’s but would investigate the whole range of neurodegenerative diseases, including disorders such as Parkinson’s and Huntington’s. It would also search for common factors linking the conditions. | 2019-04-26T05:43:51 | https://www.ratchatter.com/dementia-will-soon-be-controlled-just-like-hiv-says-research-institute/ |
The recession has continued to present both opportunities and problems for the Bryan County Board of Education.
The board, hoping that business-hungry builders will offer bargain pricing, plans to receive bids for construction of the new Richmond Hill middle school Dec. 8.
But the board, looking for ways to save money and spend more efficiently, also decided to slow progress on renovation of the old Black Creek elementary school.
Architect Craig Buckley, addressing the Bryan Board of Education during its regular monthly meeting Oct. 22, said schools around Georgia were being built for about $135 per square foot one year ago.
Three weeks ago, that price had dropped to $93 per square foot, and a top-of-the-line high school in Stephens County was priced at $102 per square foot, Buckley said.
"I haven't seen pricing like this for five or six years," said Buckley, whose firm, Buckley and Associates of Swainsboro, specializes in school construction. "There is no better time to bid work."
Buckley estimated that the new Richmond Hill middle school should cost less than $100 per square foot.
Said Bryan BOE Chairman Eddie Warren, "It's especially good news on the pricing."
Ground was broken for the 200,000-square-foot school July 22 at a site off Belfast Keller Road, and ground preparation is nearing completion, Buckley said.
Eleven bidders have been pre-qualified, and Buckley said he expects at least eight bids to build the new school. Construction should begin in early 2010, and school officials hope to have the building completed in 2011. The school would house some 1,600 students.
Bryan officials are hoping to build the school for some $30 million, two-thirds of which was generated last year in a bond offering. But officials worry that infrastructure and athletic fields could push the cost up.
Land for the school was donated by Rayonier and its land development subsidiary, TerraPointe.
TerraPointe has laid out plans for a 4,500-acre development off Belfast Siding Road in south Bryan County. Rayonier donated the 98-acre school site, with room for two schools, to the Bryan County Board of Education in 2007. Officials have speculated that a second south Bryan County high school might be built on the remaining land.
Roofs have been completed on the old Black Creek elementary school. The buildings can be dried-in and secured with the addition of two doors and a window, interim Supt. John Oliver told the BOE Oct. 22.
The board, holding its October meeting at Bryan County High School, decided by consensus to pause construction and re-examine its schedule for the Black Creek project. "I don't see putting any more money into Black Creek right now," board member Judy Crosby said.
In a subsequent interview, Oliver explained that the old Black Creek elementary school had been closed in 1981 with the opening of Lanier Primary School. Black Creek had been used for storage, and the building had fallen into disrepair.
About four years ago, Oliver recalled, the board decided to renovate the building for use as a central school office. Two Georgia Department of Corrections prison crews helped with the renovation, and made good progress. But work has slowed as the budget has tightened. Oliver said some $500,000 has been budgeted for fiscal year 2010-2011.
"I heard the board saying, 'Let's not race into this,'" Oliver said later. "It will eventually be a very nice building."
Board member Dennis Seger has championed the Black Creek renovation at recent board meetings, and urged the board not to let the project lapse. "We've spent $1.2 million. Are we just going to let that go to waste?" Seger asked the board during the Oct. 22 meeting.
Chairman Eddie Warren said the building should be dried-in and secured, and then the board should reconsider if, and how much, money should be spent.
Board member Charlie Johnson reminded the board of the bargain pricing available because of the economic downturn. | 2019-04-24T15:10:40 | https://www.savannahnow.com/article/20091028/NEWS/310289782 |
The city of Gao was left badly damaged during the conflict between Malian forces and the Tuareg-led Islamist group last year.
Christians in a city in northern Mali, already forced to hold services in a school classroom because their church was looted and not ready to host meetings, had a bomb scare on Sunday (Jan. 12).
Military personnel patrolling the area in Gao on Sunday morning discovered explosives near the school. French army personnel were able to safely defuse the devices and authorities are now investigating, but the incident left church members shocked.
The pastor of the church, whose identity is being withheld to protect his security, told World Watch Monitor there is “insecurity in all aspects of life” at the moment, but that his congregation was refusing to panic.
It is just over a year now since French troops ousted the Tuareg-led Islamist group, which had taken over northern Mali and declared independence, aiming to impose Islamic law on cities such as Gao.
On January 11 last year, French troops moved to regain control of the region after the Islamist militants had attempted to progress further south.
For nearly a year, the armed Islamist groups had ruled the region, banning the practice of other religions and desecrating and looting churches and other places of worship.
Thousands, including many Christians, fled the occupation and found refuge in the south of the country or in neighbouring countries such as Niger and Burkina Faso.
After the French helped the Malian forces to regain control of the region, the re-establishment of security took time and necessitated mass reconstruction, as many displaced people returned home.
A number of public buildings were destroyed during the conflict, including schools, health clinics, ancient monuments, hotels and restaurants.
The pastor of the church in Gao told World Watch Monitor that around 50 members of his congregation have returned home in recent months.
Mali fell from 7th to 33rd on the 2014 World Watch List, which ranks the 50 countries where practising Christianity is most fraught.
Following the French military intervention last year, “the threat of an Islamist takeover has been averted, at least temporarily”, reported this year’s World Watch List, which was compiled by Christian charity Open Doors International.
However, the list reports that the presence and infrastructure of Christianity in the north was largely destroyed, and that rebuilding a Christian presence will be difficult because many Christians who fled the north are afraid to return.
“Even though most Malian Christians (constituting less than 5% of the population) live in the south of the country, they feel threatened by Islamists in the north and fear of a new uprising remains,” reports the list. | 2019-04-20T22:11:46 | https://staging.worldwatchmonitor.org/2014/01/bomb-scare-reignites-christian-fear-in-northern-mali/ |

Don’t turn off disposal until grinding is completed and only the sound of the motor and water is heard.
Maintain the stove and oven by wiping up spills as they occur and cleaning regularly.
Always turn off the stove and oven when not in use and when no one is in the apartment.
Never use the stove or oven as additional storage space or as a space heater.
Clean out the lint trap after each use.
Clean up after yourself, including discarding used dryer sheets and cleaning up spilled laundry detergent.
Residents can monitor laundry usage at www.laundryalert.com; password: TORO. You can set it up to send an email or text alert to let you know when your laundry is done.
Please do not leave your clothes in the machines. This may prevent another resident from doing their own laundry.
If you have a problem with pests such as cockroaches, ants, fleas, or mice, submit a work order as soon as you notice the problem, as it may spread to other rooms and apartments.
Be proactive in preventing pest problems by keeping your living area and kitchens clean of leftover food and crumbs, making sure food is properly sealed and not left out, and taking the garbage out regularly.
When cleaning a refrigerator, use baking soda in the rinse water to help prevent odors.
Keep food tightly covered or wrapped to help prevent odors and frost build-up.
Place items on the shelves so that air can circulate freely within the refrigerator.
Pack your refrigerator too full; it will not cool properly.
If you cook with oil, use less! Large amounts of oil in your cooking leads to lots of smoke, as well as grease build-up on counters and appliances.
Use lower heat settings! Cooking food at a lower temperature will help to keep it from burning and causing smoke.
Please do not remove your smoke detector or cover it. Smoke detectors save lives!
Creating and maintaining a safe and secure living environment is everyone’s responsibility!
Please lock apartment doors and windows when leaving the apartment even for a short period.
Do not leave your door open and unattended.
Doors found open with no one home will be locked.
Always keep your apartment key with you. Do not loan them to others or share your PIN number.
Put your trash in a trash bag (do not use paper bags).
Tie trash bags shut, and dispose of them in the dumpsters provided outside your apartments in the parking area.
Make sure you dispose of your trash before it becomes too heavy for you to carry.
Avoid attracting pests such as ants, mice, and rats by keeping trash and recycling from piling up in your living areas, balconies, and patios.
Do not use public trash cans or the trash cans in the laundry rooms to empty your trash.
Trash and recycling containers are prohibited on patios and balconies for health and safety reasons.
Window screens must be secured at all times and are intended to keep pests out.
Residents may be charged a replacement fee if a screen is missing or bent.
Please do not use your window to gain access to your apartment or bedroom or as an exit. | 2019-04-18T18:51:19 | https://www.csudh.edu/housing/current-residents/dos-donts/ |

»Are you dating Peter Pan? Open your eyes with our 20 signals!
During the first months of living together, it is very easy to be permissive because your boy seems perfect but ... everything has changed after a while? It can be a real shock to see how your boy becomes a little boy before your eyes! If you still do not have very clear if your boyfriend is an immature, we give you 20 reasons to find out.
1. Your hygiene is very questionable. If you do not wash, it means that you do not care about it or what you think about it. A smelly boy is not a plate of good taste, nor to sleep next to him and least of all to kiss him.
2. You no longer pay anything We are not saying that you have to pay for everything, but you should not assume that you will always pay for dinner, drinks, movies and trips.
3. It's no longer interesting what you say It always tells you: "What?" Repeat it! " That means she is not paying attention to you and does not behave like a good boyfriend.
4. Still update your eDarling and your MeeticNo you create the excuse of "I'm just looking for new friends!". He is looking for something more. Tell him that if he does not leave those applications, you will leave him to him.
5. Does not pay attention to you? You never have money because you spend it on tobacco? Do you have parties at your house every weekend and just invite your friends? If your (bad) habits are more important to you, you are clearly dating an immature.
6. Refuses to do new things with you. Keeping the freshness and emotion in a relationship will help you thrive as a couple. Playing parchis is entertaining, but not like doing it every Friday night.
7. "Like" too many pictures of other girls on Instagram This is a no-brainer. It's normal for other girls to find you attractive, but that does not mean you have to act like a desperate one. It's not good for your reputation or for yours!
8. No longer ask you how your day has gone. Your boyfriend is the person you want to tell that gossip about your work partner or the good news when a project has gone well, but if he comes home and prefers to watch TV to listen to you ... rethink your relationship.
9. Do not remember the name of your friends or what they do Keep your ears and eyes open when your boyfriend thinks about your friends. If you can not show real interest in them, you will probably stop looking at you shortly. Your boy should want to know the people closest to you and if that costs him, it is that he has not matured yet.
11. It does not respond to your calls or your messages all day long. When it does, it has no excuse for not having picked it up before. Logically, you have to give space to your boy, but neither should he disappear for hours or days without a reasonable explanation.
12. Does he openly compare you to Instagram girls? Who cares if that fashion blogger had jeans perfect? It is unacceptable that you compare yourself to another woman, even if it is one you will never meet.
13. Do not mind forgetting your birthday. It may happen that you forget a birthday, but if you do not feel guilty or find it funny that you feel sad about it, it will not be so easy to forgive.
14. Do not respect your personal items? Take your car for longer than you said it would? Do you throw crumbs on your keyboard and do not clean it? If you do all this without apology, you are clearly dating a large child.
15. Everything causes jealousy Jealousy can ruin a relationship, so if it does not stop telling you to stop talking with your friends or discuss with each person who looks at you on the street, you should consider how that kind of obsessive control will affect your future .
16. Always have your phone in your hand When you are spending time together, you should not accept that, while you are hugging, this at the same time watching your Facebook or staying on Whatsapp with your friends. Your boy should always pay attention to you and, if he does not, you should pay attention to another.
17. Play the console every time you have a free time? We all love video games! If it's your way of escaping, we respect you, but if you like to "get away" every night and every weekend playing Fifa ... your relationship has a problem.
18. He complains all the time Going through things that can not be changed ends up being unbearable. If your boyfriend can not stop whining telling you how horrible his life is, you should tell him to mature or if not, you will have to say goodbye.
19. Never "return the favor" Your boy should always be willing to kiss and caress your entire body, especially if you know how attractive you are to him. If you do everything you can to make him feel happy, why should not your boyfriend do the same for you? You also have to be generous in privacy!
20. He is a teacher of avoiding conflicts. If your boy can not have an adult conversation about the things that bother you, then it is clear that he does not care about your relationship and it is time for you to do something about it. Communication is essential!

Gold received a boost on Friday after a much weaker than expected Non Farms Payroll number was released (74,000 new jobs v 200,000 expected), with the price surging $20 higher and the dollar coming under pressure as the tapering of QE came into question.
Bizarrely, the unemployment rate collapsed to 6.7%, a sign perhaps of people leaving the employment market and giving up on finding a job.
However, we consider this to be a temporary blip and expect the rally will be seen as an opportunity to open frsh shorts and close out on longs. The high overnight was 1255 and we do not expect 1260 to be breached.
In addition, gold has now reached the long term down trend line on the weekly chart which should hold the price.
The dollar was making headway above the 81 level before the NFP shock, the bulls will be eager to push the index back above that key level this week, whilst stocks continue to steadily climb higher.

A Catholic priest who was stabbed as he was celebrating mass at Montreal's St. Joseph's Oratory is recovering at home.
A spokeswoman for the church says Rev. Claude Grou was released from hospital last night and says he is doing well under the circumstances.
The incident began shortly after 8:30 a.m. yesterday when a man with a knife rushed the sanctuary of the landmark church and stabbed 77-year-old Grou, the Oratory's rector.
A 26-year-old man was arrested at the scene and is expected to appear in court later today to face charges that have yet to be announced, but could range anywhere from assault to attempted murder.
Oratory spokeswoman Danielle Decelles says the church's usual security will be in place for Sunday mass, and police will provide an increased presence in the coming days to ensure worshippers feel safe. | 2019-04-19T22:32:03 | https://www.castanet.net/edition/news-story-252255-4-.htm |

I'm generating some pdf images with another program, and want to link them together in an omnigraffle scheme.
Is there any way of getting the document to update when the linked images are themselves updated?
If they are linked and not embedded, they should be updating automatically whenever the linked image is changed. Is that not happening on your end?
It wasn't, but I can't seem to reproduce it anymore, so I guess I was doing smth wrong.
I have the same issue. The images I place into OmniGraffle via Place > "Link to Image File" do not update when I modify and save them.
Some background: I essentially want to take individual omnigraffle canvases and compose them into a larger process flow. But I want the content in the process flow to update when I update the relevant canvases. Is there a better way to do this given that I'm working with OmniGraffle files exclusively? | 2019-04-18T11:26:33 | http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?s=09eb76593a6cc6eb7e8f9f81f76fadfa&t=12667 |

A unique feature among NAAAHP participants is the debate competition, cited as a program strength by 33% of the administrators represented, so students not only perfect their professional skills locally but also on a national level through NAAAHP.
Although honors programs and colleges at HBCUs represented in this study were more active in NAAAHP, each also claimed membership in other regional, state, and national organizations. | 2019-04-20T20:12:23 | http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/NAAAHP |
We are an all-age specialist school for cognition and learning - a community special school based in Scarborough, North Yorkshire. Our pupils have a wide range of learning needs including complex moderate, severe or profound learning difficulties or disabilities. We are registered for pupils aged between 2 and 19 years and many have a broad range of additional special educational needs such as autism, physical disabilities, complex medical needs or social emotional mental health issues, but all of which are combined with learning needs.
Pupils aged up to 16 (up to the end of KS4) are educated on our main school site on Barry's Lane, Scarborough. Some of our younger pupils with profound and multiple learning difficulties are based in our specialist, interactive resource centre (The Learning Zone) with Falsgrave Community Centre, 700 yards away from the main site.
Sixth Form students have their own discrete provision across town, based on Lady Edith's Drive, just over 2 miles from the main site. This opened in September 2017 and offers spacious accommodation in a more adult learning environment.
Between the various school sites, and within the local community, our pupils and students benefit from excellent facilities. For example, our Learning Zone at Falsgrave Community Centre has been developed as an interactive learning environment which serves as a base for some pupils, and is used for clubs during the school holidays. A short walk from our main school site is the Scarborough Sports Village with state of the art facilities including swimming pool. We also regularly use Scarborough Rugby Club.
Each year the school hires a beach chalet, and the curriculum in the summer term is designed around regular access to the beach. The school has a hydrotherapy pool on the main site with a state of the art light and sound system. We share this beyond the school day with pupils from other schools. Springhead School is a 'Specialist School' for Cognition and Learning. We are funded by the Local Authority, with three other special schools across North Yorkshire, to run the Severe / Complex Learning Difficulties Outreach Support for mainstream schools, supporting them to meet the learning needs of pupils with increasingly complex learning difficulties.
Families of any prospective pupils are warmly welcome to contact the school to arrange a visit and a personal appointment with the head teacher, Mrs Debbie Wilson.
As a parent I feel cared for, and my daughter has gained great independence since coming to this school.
The staff are smiley and positive. Without this school, my son would not be where he is today. If you knew him before he came here - what a difference!
When I come into this school I am surrounded by a bubble of positiveness.
I am very happy with this school. I appreciate its friendliness and positive approach.
My son started Sixth Form last September. What a difference a year at this school has made! | 2019-04-21T14:41:57 | https://springhead.n-yorks.sch.uk/welcome |

A wide range of Yeoman Shield products were used on the project, which involved transforming a large floor area (which had formally been used as a day rehabilitation unit, Physio and Occupational Therapy Unit ) into a Medical Out-Patients & Chest Clinic with 14 multi-functional examination rooms, chest clinic facility, OT Dept and an Administration and Consultants Office wing.
Yeoman Shield supplied and installed (in an attractive rich Bordeaux colour) door frame and architrave protection, glazing bead and protection strip. Standard corner angles were also fitted to protect vulnerable columns & corners throughout the scheme.
Yeoman Shield’s innovative ‘Imagery’ in Bordeaux and Lilac was also used extensively for numbering consulting rooms, signage on toilets, nappy changing facilities, disabled signage and ward hand washing facilities. | 2019-04-19T13:22:38 | https://www.yeomanshield.com/about-us/case-studies/back-by-popular-demand-at-the-northern-general-hospital/ |

Aranjuez is the latest Koziupa and Paul adventure. This time, they max out on calligraphic art deco, then add a healthy dose of the thick-and-thin mantra that’s been so trendy for quite a few years now. The result is neo-psychedelia in an upright cross-breed of pseudo-wood deco and ornamental calligraphy, complete with alternates, swashes, endings, playful contrast treatments, and even background possibilities. This font is quite expressive, and its elegance is meant to be shown prominently. So use it for packaging, book covers, or wherever the message needs to be delivered clearly and with a precisely controlled touch of class. | 2019-04-23T20:33:39 | https://www.behance.net/gallery/4072035/Aranjuez-Pro |
Only months after the 2008 primaries, most Americans probably don’t remember Mike Huckabee or Ron Paul. But that doesn’t mean the conservative populism they championed during their campaigns for the Republican presidential nomination is as fleeting as their dark-horse candidacies.
Since rank-and-file House Republicans began criticizing October’s Wall Street bailout, a growing faction of the GOP has been channeling the country’s rage at Corporate America with us-versus-them rhetoric and appeals to economic patriotism. And they are getting help from a Democratic Party whose actions often imply subservience to Big Money.
Recall that the majority of House Democrats voted to ratify the bank bailout, and the majority of House Republicans opposed it. Recall, too, that Democratic Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner is pushing to throw more no-strings-attached cash at Wall Street, while Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., makes headlines with calls to nationalize the banks.
Conversely, when Republicans tried to prevent bailout and stimulus money from subsidizing job outsourcing, Democrats blocked their amendments and President Obama criticized such “Buy America” laws.
To be sure, there is a vaudeville quality to all this.
Gingrich is not only the House Speaker who made business lobbyists an official cog in the legislative process. He’s the Washington careerist who has spent his post-government life as an insurance industry mercenary paid to derail serious health care reform, and his “populist” panacea for righting the economy is a proposal to eliminate the capital gains tax, which primarily hits the super-rich. More broadly, while many Democrats joined in the kleptocracy, the Republican Party was the primary force behind almost every regressive tax cut, crony contract, rigged trade deal, deregulation scheme, corporate welfare handout and “elite bill” that became law over the last three decades. The idea that the GOP’s Nottingham Sheriffs have genuinely become Robin Hoods might be plausible in a burlesque subtitled “Men in Tights” ” but this is real life, not a Mel Brooks spoof.
Then again, politics is theater of the absurd, featuring everything from a draft dodger posing as a Top Gun pilot to self-proclaimed “fiscal conservatives” repeatedly voting for deficit-expanding tax breaks. And as the GOP regroups for the mid-term elections, party leaders know that Americans’ memories are short during a recession and that rhetoric can substitute for reality in a campaign. They also understand the electoral power of economic populism, even as an appeal to base Republican voters.
During the presidential primary, for example, Huckabee won eight conservative states thanks to his speeches calling Wall Street CEOs “criminals,” demanding Americans get the same health care as members of Congress, and criticizing unfair trade policies. Meanwhile, Paul attacked “corporations on welfare” who are “dumping all the bills on Main Street” ” and he raised a whopping $34 million, mostly from individual conservative donors.
For this bombast to become a cohesive political program, rebel Republicans will have to do battle with the country clubbers that still control their party ” and to date, those rebels haven’t been willing to wage such an explicit fight. However, should Democrats collude with the very corporate interests that the nation is so angry at ” say, if they obstruct proposals to toughen financial regulations ” they will create the incentive for an internal Republican war to explode. And when the smoke clears, the GOP could have a much different image – one that revives their political prospects for years to come.

Once upon a time, universities gauged the value they provided to students by administering the Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA). Now the creator, Council of Aid to Education (CAE), has designed a new standardized version, called CLA+, to wipe away grade inflation and give a true evaluation of a students' learning. This new test will specifically focus on students' critical-thinking skills, and nearly 200 universities will be taking part.
With competing ideas of whether college is there to help students learn or to prepare them for the working world, this test allows students to show a more tangible degree of knowledge and skill at graduation that serves both sides. Besides a degree, a student can now carry away a score that represents their knowledge level. It will also negate the weight a certain college name or location carries, and base the assessment instead on each test-taker’s skill level. It will no longer matter if you attended an Ivy League, state school, or online university. Your score could now represent more than just your alma mater.
For an online university or traditional campus, the CLA+ can improve how potential students and employers view their programs. As larger groups of students graduate, they will have a more accurate way to track what students are learning through the college experience. The university can then adjust and work to improve their overall offering. This fine-tuning could also help eliminate the questions of if a college is worth the tuition (if students score well) and if a specific degree is going to offer the right skills to help place a student in their desired career.
The $35 CLA+ test has already been beta-tested by 20 universities; but it is still far from proven on the larger scale. Will it work like the SATs did for high school students entering college? Will the results give true results that students, parents, and employers trust? Will it be accepted as the standard? I’m not sure yet, but the potential of the test is excellent. With CLA+, each student has the opportunity to choose the right university and degree while moving themselves one step ahead of other students after graduation. | 2019-04-23T02:09:54 | https://www.ashford.edu/blog/online-learning/cla-levels-playing-field |

Dinner for Education - Empowering African Youths Through Education!
Another 'Dinner for Education' event in the bag. What a fun evening! We had such a blast hosting and couldn't have asked for better company, conversation, space and of course food. This intimate dinner took place at Lenox Saphire Lounge in Harlem and featured a scrumptious two-course authentic Senegalese meal. Senegalese food is not something many people have had before, so it was a pleasure to give our food-curious guests a port of entry into this rich and delicious West African cuisine all in the name of charity. The dinner menu offered choices of traditional dishes like Thiebu Djen (pronounced chew-boo jen), Mafe etc. as well as a popular Senegalese drink - red Bissap which is is steeped from hibiscus flowers. If you haven’t tried African food, we strongly urge you to head up to Harlem and explore the delicious depths of Senegalese cuisine. Our heartfelt thanks to everyone at Lenox Saphire for your amazing service and yummy food, and to our amazing guests for their unwavering support. See you at Dinner for Education IV!
Every year we host a charity event to help raise much needed funds to support our youth empowerment projects for young people in Africa. Last night we hosted our second Dinner for Education event at Nomad New York . The dinner featured an amazing, authentic three-course mediterranean feast. A great big thank you to Nomad for hosting us and to everyone that attended. We look forward to many more dinners like this to support our programs that benefit at-risk youth in Africa.
Please enjoy photos from the event below.
support to disadvantaged youth in Africa. For our first intimate dinner we chose Braai NYC - a charming South African barbecue & seafood restaurant located in the heart of Manhattan's theatre district. The word “Braai” is South African for “Barbecue” or “Grill” and is more than a social custom in South Africa - it is a way of life. Around 30 guests attended the dinner, in fact more than we expected so we ended up having to set up extra tables. Attendees were treated to a four-course meal that included an array of delicious appetizers, entrees and desserts from South Africa. The food was delicious, the portions substantial and the atmosphere warm and enchanting. Just when we thought we had finished with one dish another delectable treat was brought out from the kitchen. Overall everyone left satisfied, stuffed and appreciative of the experience and excited about our next event. A great big thank you to everyone at Braai South African restaurant for making our experience so enjoyable and of course our guests for coming out to learn more about our organization and help support our work.
We can't wait to plan our next dinner and hope that you will join us on our journey through Africa to support children in need.

Normal faults grow via a sympathetic increase in their displacement and length (‘isolated model’) or by rapid establishment of their near-final length prior to significant displacement accumulation (‘constant-length model’). The isolated model has dominated the structural geology literature for >30 years, although some 3D seismic data-based studies support the constant-length model. Because they make different predictions regarding rift development, and earthquake size and recurrence intervals in areas of continental extension, it is critical to test these models with data from natural examples. Here we outline a range of techniques that constrain the kinematics of synsedimentary normal faults and thus test competing fault growth models. We then apply these techniques to three seismically imaged faults, showing that, in general, they grew in accordance with the constant-length model, although periods of relatively minor tip propagation and coeval displacement accumulation, characteristics more consistent with the isolated model, also occurred. We argue that analysis of growth strata represents the best way to test competing fault growth models; most studies utilizing this approach support the constant-length fault model, suggesting it may be more widely applicable than is currently assumed. It is plausible that the very early development of large faults is, however, characterized by the development of faults that, pre-linkage, grow in accordance with the isolated model; we may simply lack the data resolution, especially in the subsurface, to resolve this very early stage of fault growth. | 2019-04-20T08:50:03 | https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/books/book/2080/chapter/114337967/Techniques-to-determine-the-kinematics-of |
Disneyland has an amazing array of activities to celebrate Christmas and the holiday season. We did not want to miss any of the special Disneyland holiday details, so we decided to book our first ever Disney tour. The Holiday Time at the Disneyland Resort Tour was a unique experience and provided us a memorable afternoon immersed in the holiday spirit topped off with amazing parade seats.
Check here for more information about Disneyland at the holidays.
What is The Holiday Time At The Disneyland Resort Tour?
Holiday Time At The Disneyland Resort Tour is available seasonally and is a guided walking tour with a Disney tour guide. This 2½-hour group tour takes you through both Disney California Adventure and Disneyland Park holiday decorations. Our tour also included a ride on It’s A Small World Holiday before ending at reserved seating for A Christmas Fantasy Parade.
Please note: The official tour information states your guide will show decorations at both parks and have reserved parade seating to end the tour. The ride on It’s A Small World Holiday was a surprise to me. When I booked the tour staff members told me the ride was not specifically included.
Our guide, Kayla, was incredible and knowledgeable about the parks. She did a great job of teaching our group how the holidays are celebrated at Disneyland. In fact, Kayla went out of her way to answer all the questions Elizabeth had about the park decorations and even non-holiday questions, too.
What Should I Expect During The Holiday Time At The Disneyland Resort Tour?
You will check in for the Holiday Time At The Disneyland Resort Tour about 30 minutes prior to your tour start time.
When you enter Disneyland Park go through the left side opening under the train tracks. Tour Gardens is a small white building located just past the tunnel on the left. I had never noticed it before, but immediately spotted it once I knew what I was looking for.
We were asked about food allergies as we checked in for Holiday Time At The Disneyland Resort Tour. Unfortunately, my daughter does have an uncommon food allergy which I shared with the cast member.
There are three treats provided during the tour and all three had the potential to be an issue. The cast member kindly provided Elizabeth three special snack vouchers that then she was able to use to obtain her own safe treats.
Find out more about dealing with food allergies at Disneyland here.
Right around our scheduled tour start time, Kayla began passing out headsets to everyone in the group. These headsets are pretty amazing. Kayla was able to speak into her microphone and everyone could clearly hear her on the headset. I thought this was especially impressive since the park was crowded and loud on our tour day.
After everyone had their headsets set up it was time to start. We left Disneyland and walked over to Disney California Adventure to begin our tour. A cast member opened a side gate to allow us entry into the park instead of having to enter through the regular line.
Once we were all inside the park, Kayla began to show us special details around Buena Vista Street. After this we made our way up the street to admire the Christmas tree near Carthay Circle.
Once we arrived at the tree, Kayla showed us some fun details on and under the tree, but I won’t spoil the specifics. After she finished her speech we then heard an audio recording of Walt himself talking about a special Christmas gift he gave his wife.
Next we moved to Cars Land where Kayla pointed out many of the special Christmas details. Since this was the last day of our trip we had already spent a lot of time in this area. Kayla joked that Elizabeth could have given the tour for that section and loved that Elizabeth was so into the intricate details.
From there we walked past Grizzly Peak and made our way to Trolley Treats back on Buena Vista Street. Here we learned about the history of gingerbread houses and the Disneyland Candy Cane tradition.
Once we were done learning we were rewarded with some amazing chocolate peppermint fudge. Mr. Smart Mouse and I shared the huge chunk of fudge as we walked back over into Disneyland Park.
Our first stop back at Disneyland was Main Street where we could admire the massive 60-foot (20-meter) Christmas tree. The tree is such an important part of Disneyland that all year long the spot where it sits is called Christmas Tree Point. This is true even when the iconic Mickey pumpkins reside there.
Kayla also showed us a Christmas tree in the window above the Disneyland Fire Department. This apartment was once used by Walt and his family. The Christmas tree in the window remains lit 24 hours a day throughout the holiday season. We went back later that evening to see the tree more easily in the dark.
From Main Street we walked to the area near Jungle Cruise. Here Kayla pointed out the jungle inspired Christmas tree and then gave us a small break. We had the opportunity to run to the bathroom and grab a drink from the nearby stand before resuming the tour.
Next we went to New Orleans Square to learn about the Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay, but did not ride or see the outside in depth. Our guide also showed us other decorations in the area and taught us about Papa Noel, the Cajun version of Santa Claus.
From New Orleans Square we walked as a group past Frontier Land before arriving at It’s A Small World Holiday. Here I was surprised to find that we were going to have specialty access to ride this amazing holiday attraction.
We rejoined our guide as we exited It’s A Small World Holiday, and were then ushered to our reserved seating for A Christmas Fantasy parade. A single file line of chairs was waiting for us across from It’s A Small World Holiday.
The reserved parade seating is in a great location and having a seat for a parade was such a treat. As soon as we were seated our guide passed out Gingerbread Men cookies, hot chocolate in specialty mugs, and Holiday Time At The Disneyland Resort pins!
From this amazing vantage point we enjoyed every moment of A Christmas Fantasy Parade. The parade was so fun and entertaining I couldn’t believe how quickly the 30 minutes flew by. We were all so disappointed that our tour was at an end.
I just happened to have my comfortable, but basic wired earbuds in my park bag. My earbuds plugged right into the receiver. It was really comfortable to have my own headphones for the tour.
Most of the adults did not have their own headphones. Those without headphones were provided an earpiece that sits over one ear. Unfortunately, this earpiece was too large for Elizabeth.
Cast members found her old fashioned over the head headphones which worked out fine. I told her she looked like Star-Lord in them because they reminded me of the old Walkman headphones (sigh, I may be showing my age).
If someone in your group has a food allergy and needs to use the snack vouchers I recommend grabbing something prior to the start of the tour. Cast members provide the food to attendees very quickly during the tour. If I had not pre-purchased an item (with the voucher) we would not have had time to obtain a safe snack while on the tour.
I didn’t realize that we would be getting treats, let alone large travel mugs as part of our Holiday Time At The Disneyland Resort Tour. After the tour we found we had a lot more items than I had room to carry. Since we were staying at Disney’s Grand Californian my husband was nice enough to run the swag back to the resort for us.
The Holiday Time At The Disneyland Resort Tour required considerable walking and standing. We made a loop around Disney California Adventure and most of Disneyland Park, too.
How Do You Book The Holiday Time At The Disneyland Resort Tour?
Book tours in person at Tour Gardens or by phone at (714) 781-8687.
How Much Does The Holiday Time At The Disneyland Resort Tour Cost?
During the 2018 season the Holiday Time At The Disneyland Resort Tour cost is $85 per person. Annual passholders have a discount so a ticket runs $72.25 per person. Please note you must also have valid park admission to attend the tour.
On the way home I asked Elizabeth her favorite Disneyland Christmas activities from the trip. She said her absolute favorite thing was the tour and A Christmas Fantasy Parade.
I really enjoyed the tour as well. My only regret is that we did the tour on our last park day. I think it would have been better to do the tour early in the trip. That way we could have gone back to look at things again later.
The tour is available for kids and adults, however I think that some younger children might not care for the tour. Smaller kids may get antsy while the guide is talking or be upset you walk past attractions, but can not stop for them. You know your child best so carefully consider before booking your own Holiday Time At The Disneyland Resort Tour.
This tour was enjoyable and the reserved seating for A Christmas Fantasy Parade was amazing. Kayla, our tour guide, was also knowledgeable and kind. She made the tour experience extra special for my daughter and has me thinking about taking a different Disney Parks tour sometime soon.

Reading tutor Al Moore (left) works with a high school freshman in his Alexandria, Va., office. Moore aims to identify effective reading programs for struggling students based on their individual needs.
Learning to read is probably the single most critical skill that a child will acquire in his or her lifetime. Yet we as educators have not fully mastered the art of ensuring that every child learns to read. Having spent nearly a decade treating students with learning disabilities, reading disorders, dyslexia, autism, anxiety, and ADHD, and designing reading interventions that have been used in schools, I recognize there’s no silver bullet to fixing a reading problem.
Are you talking about students who can’t figure out the words on the page (fluency), or students who can’t make sense of the material they are reading (comprehension)? If it’s a fluency issue, does the problem stem from an inability to sound out and decode unknown words (phonemic awareness)? Or does the problem seem to be a sluggish reading rate and a poor ability to quickly recall words on sight (graphemic imagery)? If it’s a comprehension issue, is the problem with absorbing the details and making connections (receptive), or with retelling—in writing or orally—that information in a logically connected, organized way (expressive)?
You probably don’t have all the answers to these questions, and that’s OK. Just asking them at all will help you gain a clearer understanding of the sort of challenges you’re up against— and that’s the first step in choosing a good reading program for your students.
Know the Signs That Can Help Identify the Type of Reading Problem.
If you’re having trouble determining the type of reading deficit your students are experiencing, take a look at the indicators shown in the below chart. Recognizing these signs can give you an early indication of which support strategy will be most effective for your group.
Keep in mind that students can have a single reading deficit or a dual one, where they exhibit a combination of more than one type of reading problem. When this happens, it’s best to target one deficit at a time, rather than attempting to correct everything in one fell swoop.
An effective reading program includes exercises that target the specific reading deficit that needs improvement. Accordingly, it should start with some sort of diagnostic measure to help you identify that deficit. Ignoring this step is to assume that all reading challenges are the same, and that intervention is simply a matter of figuring out what skills have not been mastered and then re-teaching them.
Good diagnostic measures account for the variant types of reading deficits. For example, the diagnostic can help determine whether there is a fluency and comprehension problem (dual deficit), or a fluency problem that is limiting comprehension (single deficit). A thorough diagnostic measure can also give an indication of whether the cause of the reading deficit is instructional or cognitive in nature. If the cause is instructional, then some factor—a prolonged illness and absence from school, or a previously undiagnosed case of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder—has caused gaps in specific content knowledge. If the reading deficit is cognitive, the problem is caused by the way the brain processes information. In general, cognitive deficits require a more in-depth treatment approach, with a longer duration and greater intervention frequency.
If the reading program doesn’t include an assessment tool, there are some great independent ones available. The Phonological Awareness Test 2 (LinguiSystems), the Wide Range Achievement Test (PAR), and the Woodcock-Johnson are just a few of the tests that can be used in an effective assessment-guided approach.
Whether the reading deficit is instructional or cognitive, fluency-based or comprehension-based, it’s a good idea to incorporate cognition exercises into the intervention. Cognition exercises improve reading by strengthening the brain’s ability to process information and function. Interestingly, the cognition exercises you can use to improve reading may not be reading activities at all.
For instance, there’s a neat little card game called On the Dot that can be used as a cognitive exercise. The game improves visual perception and spatial reasoning—both of which are cognitive processes—by having players stack and align the images on semi-transparent cards. This sort of activity can strengthen visual acuity, which helps to reduce the number of reading substitutions (miscues) and line skips a student makes.
Many off-the-shelf programs include cognition exercises. For example, Seeing Stars, Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes’ fluency program, asks students to visualize real and nonsense words and then transpose, add, delete, or substitute letters to make new words. This helps students practice maintaining a strong, stable mental image of an orthographic pattern—so strong that they can manipulate it and still recall it afterward.
If a program does not include a cognitive component, you can do cognition exercises or activities with your class and reap the benefits. For example, the game Guess Who also stimulates cognition and helps with comprehension. The objective of the game is to guess your opponent’s character by asking questions about the character’s looks and eliminating those that don’t fit the description. For students who struggle with comprehension or listening to and following directions, Guess Who reinforces auditory processing, short term memory, and decision-making. With increasing ability in these areas, students can more easily connect details in a passage, get the big picture, and recall information. Memory, the card game in which you have to flip over and match identical pictures, is another example. Practicing the identification and recall of visual images helps to strengthen those same processes in identifying and recalling letters and letter patterns.
Without the proper emphasis on cognition, we assume by default that students primarily need to hear the information again. And that’s essentially all that’s done in some cases: a re-telling of the same information, perhaps in a more interesting way or with an improved support plan. Dynamic instruction is important. A systematic support plan is important as well. But if the cause of the reading deficit is cognitive, then the emphasis must be on implementing cognition exercises that will stimulate the brain to engage and process the concepts in a new manner. Without it, we fool ourselves about the effectiveness of our strategies and fail to maximize the potential of our students. We become like the instructor who replies to his pupil’s confusion not by providing further insight and clarity, but by repeating his initial explanation in a louder voice.
If you need to supplement an intervention program with more cognition exercises, a great place to find activities is Marbles: The Brain Store. Marbles has a variety of cognitive games, activities, and software that can strengthen processing skills. Look for activities that stimulate visual or auditory memory, processing speed, visual or auditory attention, decision speed, or auditory discrimination, as these are cognitive processes that undergird strong reading skills.
Select an Appropriate Research-Based Reading Program That Brings Together Elements of Strong Reading Intervention.
If you’re still not sure what kinds of reading programs I’m referring to, some examples are provided in the accompanying chart. Keep in mind that these programs can be expensive and that some require more extensive professional development than others.
Choosing a good program is about fit. It is better to identify student need and match a program from there than it is to choose a program just because it has cognition exercises and an assessment-guided approach. Remember, you’re not searching for the perfect program—you’re searching for the perfect program for your students. Hopefully these tips will help you do just that.

Sage f1 doesn’t like the pool thermometer. He removes it all the time. Funny.
He saved the drowning creature and is so proud of himself!
Looks like the perfect cat toy to me!
Lol. He slaughtered a ripe tomato today. Wish I caught that on video. He ripped it apart like a cardboard box. I was a little worried when I saw a red smudgy mess on the floor.
Oh my, that must have been a sight!! | 2019-04-23T00:55:04 | https://www.savannahcatchat.com/threads/sage-f1-doesn%E2%80%99t-like-the-pool-thermometer-he-removes-it-all-the-time-funny.6961/ |
Certain rooms were showing available on the inventory report; however I was unable to book these rooms for guests.
When performing a search for availability, the system gives you results based on the order the room was entered into the system, not in order of name/or number of the room. For instance, room #30 was recreated, it appears at the end of the search, not before room #31. Does that make sense?
