Little Bit Funky: snowman pops.
I found today's craft on Flexible Dreams.
I thought they would be a good treat for Moses to take as a gift for his friends at school...and who doesn't like to play with food?
Moses' job was to skewer the marshmallows...three on a stick.
...add eyes, mouth and buttons on...add nose. and done.
A little tip for you...in order to let things dry standing up, I taped two empty cereal boxes together and poked holes all the way through with a knife, then stuck a skewer in each hole.
Cute, happy, fun and easy.
Oh man they look yummo! I'm not sure any of the bits would last long enough in this house to actually transform them into a snowman.
I'm going to try to do these tomorrow for my daughter's kindergarten Christmas Party. I worry a little bit about transporting them. I have some cellophane bags, we'll see.
I L-O-V-E these! I always make sweets for my husband to take to work and he usually finds them taking the left overs home for the kids this would be perfrect for my next sweets to work day!
I got the stuff to make these today for my daughter's class party. I couldn't find any orange gel icing so I got orange tic tacs. I'm wondering how to stick them on or in?
Great pics!! It looks like you guys had a lot of fun. How did tube icing turn out? I will be doing this again with my son's kindergarten class and I need to figure out a better way to do the faces.
I made these last night! They are not as cute as yours but they were fun and the kids loved them!!

From a rural Isaan childhood to student activism in Bangkok and six years with the communist armed struggle, the 65-year-old is now leading a green development project in his Northeastern home. But the life of Somkit will forever be linked to Thailand’s turbulent times of the 1970s.
A child of rural Isaan, Somkit Singsong went to study at Thammsat University in Bangkok, took up student activism, and spent six years in the forest with the communist movement. Today, the 65-year-old is leading a green development project in his Northeastern home.
Somkit’s rural Isaan upbringing distances him from most student activists in 1970s, who tended to come from the urban middle class. Somkit’s university education likewise made him different from most of those Isaan villagers who left their rice fields to fight with the communists during that period.
A prolific writer and co-founder of the Isaan Writers’ Association, Somkit has published several novels, short stories, and poems. Most of his writing belongs to a genre of literature known as wannakam phuea chiwit or “Literature for Life,” which features strong protest themes.
His most famous work remains the words to a song that became the anthem of the political movements of the 1970s. Along with fellow student activist Visa Kanthap, he wrote the lyrics to the song Khon Kap Khwai (“People and Buffalo”) that would later be made famous by Caravan – a folk-rock band that itself grew out of the pro-democracy protests of 1973.
Born into a rice farming family, Somkit spent his childhood in Sap Daeng village, Khon Kaen province. In the early 1960s, he followed a family member to central Thailand to attend middle school on the Thonburi side of the Chao Praya River. Sarit Thanarat – the military dictator who had seized power in 1958 – had just drank himself to death, Somkit remembered.
Somkit shared his high school years with someone who would play a fateful role in Thailand’s politics decades later and pave the way for another military coup. “Suthep Thaugsuban was in the same year. We were friends back then,” he remembered. “After high school, Suthep failed the entrance exam for Thammasat University while I scored as the second best,” Somkit said, with a mischievous grin on his face.
Rewarded with a scholarship from the National Education Council, he enrolled in the newly-established Journalism and Mass Communications program at Thammasat University in 1969. The stipend of 1,500 baht covered his semester tuition fees and bankrolled a comfortable life in Bangkok.
Throughout the 1960s, a military junta had maintained its grip on power and formed an economic and anti-communist partnership with the United States. The Northeast hosted tens of thousands of US military personnel stationed there to support the American proxy war in Vietnam. In return, the US government gave Thailand major financial and development aid.
In the late 1960s, resistance to military rule reached a boiling point among university students. In the highly politicized atmosphere at Thammasat University, Somkit formed his own political creed and the sharp-tongued Northeastener soon became a leader among student activists.
“I had the feeling that Thailand was not free, but a colony of America,” Somkit said, explaining his motivation to join the budding student movement. “We talked often about independence and how to end inequalities in Thai society,” he said.
On October 14, 1973 a student-led uprising swept the military rulers out of government and launched a three-year democratic interlude for Thailand. After the unexpected victory, Somkit quit his studies, left the capital and returned to his home in the countryside.
Somkit said he felt frustrated with the attitudes of people in Bangkok. “I had a vision to build the society of my dreams in my home village,” he said, adding that the state gave too little support to the country’s rural population. He began organizing development projects around his village and engaged in politics by joining the central committee of the Socialist Party of Thailand.
“In the countryside, students were seen as the heroes of the time,” he recalled, “so I travelled around and gave speeches explaining politics to villagers.” But hostility against students and progressives was also rising. “The local bureaucrats hated me and called me a national security risk, a traitor, and a communist,” Somkit said grimly.
On October 6, 1976, the military dictatorship regained power with a bloody crackdown on students and protesters at Thammasat University. The shockwaves of the massacre reached Somkit’s village a couple of days later. State and paramilitary forces were hunting down communists and all of those branded “enemies of the state,” and they soon surrounded the area. Left with no other choice, the then-26-year-old fled his home, hiding in the townhouse of a friend until undercover communist agents offered him safe passage to a base in the Dong Mun forest, north of Kalasin province.
Somkit claimed that prior to this he had no connection to the Communist Party of Thailand (CPT), which had launched a guerrilla war against the state from the Northeast in 1965. “The CPT had spies all over Isaan back then, and I realized only later that they had kept an eye on me after I returned from Bangkok,” he said.
Immediately after the massacre of October 6, the CPT invited all dissidents to join the armed revolutionary struggle, accusing the Bangkok establishment and American government of backing the killings. About 3,000 students, leftist intellectuals, and farmer and labour leaders followed the communist call and fled into the forests.
Ironically, it was the state’s anti-communist witch-hunt that drove Somkit into the arms of the communist fighters. He was never one of them, he stressed, but an ardent defender of socialist revolution – a fine distinction that seems to be lost on most people these days, he complained.
Somkit received a warm welcome at the CPT’s base, and his involvement with the Socialist Party led others to regard him as a senior party member. “They treated me with so much respect, but I was really just a boy,” Somkit said.
After the CPT leadership invited Somkit to a major cadre meeting in Laos, he embarked on a weeklong trek to the border, where he was flown by helicopter to Muang Xai in Oudomxay province. “It was pure indulgence,” said Somkit. “There were servants, free cigars, and the fridge was filled with wines from Europe,” he added.
Somkit never saw much good in the armed struggle and soon felt his work with the CPT was fruitless. He disliked the hierarchical structures of the organization and criticized it for allying with China and adopting a Maoist ideology – a move that would isolate the party from other communist movements in Southeast Asia.
When China’s foreign policy flipped in the late 1970s and the Chinese regime became friendly with the Thai government, the CPT was cut off from the Chinese support that had financed its activities. Soon after, ideological disputes between the party leadership and student activists eventually drove the students to part ways with the communist movement and return to the cities.
Most students abandoned the revolutionary struggle feeling jaded, but Somkit returned to his village hoping to continue where he had left off. He initiated several development and environmental projects and established a publishing house in Sap Daeng village. “The CPT was falling apart, but for me it really all had just started,” he said.
Somkit begrudgingly acknowledges that the experience of the faltering communist revolution and the return of military rule in the 1980s left its mark on his generation of leftists. Many fell into a state of political shock following their return from the forests. While some of them would reemerge in the country’s nascent NGO scene years later, they tended to turn their backs on political organizations, often taking a stance against representative democracy.
After Somkit made rural Isaan the center of his life again, he retreated from politics and turned to environmentalism. Along the way, political disillusionment crept into his life.
The dirt road that leads to Somkit’s environmental development project, which is located a few kilometers outside of his home village Sap Deang in Khon Kaen province.
A motor scooter came rumbling down the dirt road leading to Somkit’s development project, which lies between two fields far from Sap Daeng village. Somkit’s son climbed off his motor scooter, put down a bag with ice and cheap beer, and disappeared behind the clay hut to prepare lunch. The thirty-something-year-old is taking care of his father, whose health has declined in recent years.
Thai politics has always been a stage “for those who seek benefits and power,” Somkit said, but corruption and nepotism escalated when Thaksin Shinawatra entered the scene.
“Thaksin put the nation on sale and Lee Kuan Yew bought it,” Somkit said, referring to the controversial deal between Thaksin’s family and the Singapore-owned Temasak Holdings in 2006.
The Shinawatra family’s sale of its share in the telecommunications giant Shin Corp to an investment arm of the Singaporean government incited major public outcry over what was regarded as an unfair tax exemption for the powerful family. Thaksin was accused of “selling out” national assets. The controversy surrounding the sale added momentum to the anti-Thaksin protests that precipitated the 2006 military coup.
Somkit also has little respect for the recent political agenda of some fellow student activists from the 1970s. “The radical leftists really thought they could use Thaksin to overthrow the capitalist system and the monarchy,” he said, mentioning two prominent red shirt leaders.
“I was once a socialist and anti-monarchy,” he said, “but then, I realized that there is no other king in this world that is working as hard as ours.” Somkit discovered his love for the country’s royal institution through his newfound passion to defend the environment, a mission that the monarch always supported, he said as his son returned from cooking. The fried cobra dish he served was in no time discovered by hungry red ants.
In a way, history played a joke on many members of Somkit’s generation. Once leaders of the country’s most progressive forces longing to foment a revolution, today many seem stuck without any political vision. And as many political observers have noted, these former student activists today often find themselves cheering those who try to freeze society’s progress.
As Somkit picked a few red ants off some pieces of fried cobra, a construction worker trudged out of the thick green undergrowth to hand Somkit a bill.
Next to the clay hut, Somkit is building an education center for organic agriculture. And the 65-year-old continues to think about new projects that focus on chemical free farming and he vows to fight against the influence of global agribusiness on Thailand’s farmers.

I wanted to share some resources that I find handy on Amazon Echo devices. I would also love hearing from you what you have found.
First, it is fantastic to see all the churches that have made their worship services into podcasts. These podcasts can then be played on your echo device. You could listen to a different church service each week and by the end of the year you would not have exhausted the number of sermons available through the internet. Simply ask Alexa to help you find a sermon or a Christian podcast.
You can also read the Bible on Alexa. She will read chapter and verse or a topic. You can also read any Bibles you have in your Kindle or Audible library. It is a great great resource to just ask Alexa to start reading this or that part of the Bible.
There are also many Bible studies available for you to learn from. These are offered in a variety of styles and denominations. I searched under Bible studies in my Alexa App and I was pleasantly surprised by all the resources at my fingertips.
Finally, there is so much Christian music available for your listening pleasure. there are hymns to modern praise and worship. Some of these services do not require a streaming source.
There are many valuable devotional resources. One of my favorite is “Our Daly Bread”. They have a daily encouragement. You can also search the Alexa App for your favorite artists and they may have a devotional. Casting Crowns is one that I follow. Their daily devotional shows up in my daily flash briefing.
I hope that you have fun exploring all the resources available to us as Christians on Amazon’s echo devices. NO, I am not working for Amazon…just wanted to share the wealth of opportunities this technology opens up to us. I would love it if you also share your treasure hunting finds with me.
Next PostNext God’s ways are Perfect!

Hi everyone, and welcome to EDUC522.
My name is Lisa Rodriguez and I will be your professor the Summer 2015 term. I have been with APU since 2013 and love teaching Masters students! I am really looking forward to working with you in the upcoming course, Learning in the 21st Century.
Our first class is Tuesday, June 16, 4:45 pm in Adobe Connect - https://apu-celt.adobeconnect.com/lrodriguez/. We will meet once a week (Tuesdays) for the first three weeks of class, and then twice a week (Tuesdays/Thursdays) for the last three weeks. Dr. Jennifer Courduff will be teaching a few of the classes when I'm out of town in July. The syllabus for our class is attached.
It's imperative that you attend every session for the entire class session, usually 2-1/2 to 3 hours.
Since this is a course on learning through multiple means, you will participate in a variety of learning activities (including a field trip!). There are a few things that need to be done on your side of the wireless before class on the 16th.
1. SAKAI - this is where discussion postings and assignment uploads will take place.
3. Google Plus and Skype: With technology, it's always good to have a backup plan--it's wonderful, but often glitchy. Also, during one of our class sessions you will break out into small groups. Google Hangouts and Skype are two video conferencing tools that you should have ready. You need a Google Plus account in order to participate in Google Hangouts. If you haven't already used Google Hangouts, please set that up before our first class meeting. It's free and pretty easy. You should create an EDUC522 Circle and add me to it. The account I'm using is my APU account and shows a picture of me wearing a gray suit, with my hands on my hips, and a speech bubble that says "Always refer to the rubric!" Here are step by step instructions if you need them. Let me know if you have any problems.
4. Supplies: Make sure to have your textbooks, laptop, and iPad during every class meeting.
This is our class website where all content is presented. We'll use SAKAI only for discussion postings and assignment uploads. Your grades will be in Sakai.
This is a great course, and very intense. You'll need to have your textbooks for the first night of class. You can purchase the texts at the APU bookstore or through Amazon.com.

Sometimes, we get trouble in connecting to WiFi. It is far different from connecting the wider cosmos. But according to experts, such interstellar internet network could take almost 300,000 years to hook up.
According to researchers, stretching cables from planet to planet, we could flash light from our Sun out into the depths of space. It will like signaling with a hand in front of a flashlight.
Duncan Forgan, from the University of St Andrews, UK has studied a model that uses laser beams from Earth. They then interfere with the Sun’s rays and beaming out messages beyond the Solar System.
But his work even has some limitations. It doesn’t take into account shifting planetary orbits over time. To achieve even these extremely long timelines it would probably need the participation of hundreds of alien civilizations in building nodes in the network.
Even with such indications, the model suggests an interesting approach to space. communication.
This interstellar internet network will make use of stars as the basis of the network. Thus, it can be used to conceal our planet as well as send messages into deep space.
In other words, this interstellar internet network will be the amazing thing we will ever get from the probes and rovers we’ve sent out into space.

Her operatic debut, in 1966, was at the Mozartsaal in Vienna. In Canada she appeared widely, including with the MSO, the NACO, the TS, the Groupe baroque and Musica Camerata (both Montreal), the Victoria International Festival and JMC Orford Festival, and sang on CBC radio and television. Gabora also performed in the USA and Europe, eg, with the San Francisco, National, and Milan Radio symphony orchestras, and she participated in the Barcelona International, Moscow Winter Nights, and Ravel (France) festivals. In 1965 on CBC radio she premiered Kelsey Jones' Songs of Innocence, which were composed for her. In 1972 she gave the first Canadian performance of Shostakovich's Vocal Instrumental Suite. With her husband, the violinist Taras Gabora, and the pianist John Newmark, she recorded music of Villa Lobos, Hovhaness, Joseph Marx, Murray Adaskin, and Brahms (1974, SM-277). She also recorded Alexander Brott's Songs of Contemplation with the McGill Chamber Orchestra (1967, CBC SM-6), Handel's 'Crudel tiranno amor' and Purcell's 'The Plaint' from the Fairy Queen with the Groupe baroque de Montréal (ca 1977, RCI 449), and for Melodia (Moscow). In 1996 she recorded two CDs of lieder with the Italian pianist Mario delli Ponti (LoveLieder G168-1 and G168-2).

3D Printed 1/10 Remote Controlled Trophy Truck | Scale RC Suspension Madness!
This is it. v819 is the one.
16 months ago, I had a dream to bring together three foreign worlds: radio-controlled vehicles, 3D printing, and desert-racing trophy trucks. I was amazed by each for their own unique reasons; RC cars were just great fun to drive, 3D printing was an intriguing new world that made me powerful as a passionate maker, and trophy trucks were insane vehicles--if you've never seen trophy truck suspension in action, you need to! 16 months ago, I didn't know how to CAD, I had just gotten my 3D printer, and trophy trucks were just things I watched online. I like to say that it was an insane ambition that led me to start this project. But after these 16 months, I believe I've gone further than I ever have in any 16 month period in my life; the trophy truck developed a passion and skills that I can apply to many other aspects of STEM. I hope there are people like me from 16 months ago, passionate about different things, but not knowing where to start. And I hope this instructable becomes the start I didn't have, for my weirdo 3D printed RC trophy truck people.
Welcome to the building a fully 3D Printed Remote Controlled Trophy Truck!
This project will allow you to build a 1/10 scale remote controlled trophy truck. Almost the entire project will be 3D printed, with an exception of electronics, hardware, and transmission. The result will be an awesome looking rig which is drivable and actually strong enough to have fun with. Hopefully, you will also learn a few things along the way, whether it be design, 3D printing, RC, or cars in general. If you want to see how the finished project really performs, check out the video embedded above--it's a little long, since I wanted to fit all the content in one video, but included are: suspension testing, slow-motion clips, and onboard footage.
I just want to say, this may be intimidating as a project involving several hundred 3D printed components; if you want to see the result, you definitely can do it. It's fine if you don't have much experience; if you want to get into it, the best way to do this is to dive in and get your hands dirty.
Daniel Noree's 3D printable truggy got me into both 3D printing and RC. His truggy was my first ambitious project (even though I didn't design it), which eventually led me to start my own trophy truck project. I also based a lot of my designs off of his, as his designs worked great, and I was a beginner at CAD. Another huge inspiration, which was the reason I made a trophy truck, is Cyconxc. His trophy trucks are amazing, and ever since I found his YouTube channel I have wanted one, but they require welding to build, which inspired me to use my 3D printer instead. His newest series of videos in which he shows the building process of his own metal RC trophy trucks also guided me along the way. Check out his video series for another perspective on a trophy truck build here, and check out the rest of his channel if you love trophy trucks. Without either Daniel Noree or Cyconxc, I would not have had such a passion, convincing me to dive into this project. Their works truly were inspirations to me.
I want to make sure you know a little how this build will work. What this instructable is providing you with a few things. The first are CAD files for the trophy truck. This is mostly what makes this project unique; the design of the truck is what took time and hardwork, and this is what you will 3D print files from, and use as an instruction manual. The second thing this instructable offers is in-depth guidance. This assumes you are mostly a beginner, so most people will be able to complete this build, and more experienced people can skip through it a little. After completing the steps shown, The final product should be a scale 1/10 RC trophy truck which is drivable and lightly bashable. It won't be as strong as an injection molded one-piece roll cage from a distinguished RC company, but you can always reprint parts, and it should be a great learning experience. This is a fairly complex project, so each step will be packed with more information than usual, but I believe this project is doable. I will say now, if you want to put a hard-shelled body on this trophy truck, you can; its wheel spacing is designed for a Yeti's body shell. You will just have to make your own body mounts.
What I wanted to do when I first started this project was to combine 3 foreign worlds: 3D printing, remote controlled cars, and trophy trucks. I was really developing a passion for all 3; I had recently gotten my 3D printer, and I spent all day finding things to print. I was also a huge fan of RC cars; I had always wished for one, but was pushed back by the high prices, and the fact that every one of them had a fatal flaw that I just wished I could fix. Trophy trucks were the vehicle of my dreams; their suspension systems amazed me, and I am quite proud I was able to successfully replicate it without extremely expensive shock absorbers.
In the end, I can say I produced the ideal RC car in my opinion. I think it is amazing to get a durable and functional car using almost completely 3D printing, and I am proud to have done this. I will say, my very original intention of designing this trophy truck was never to release it to the public, or submit for a contest, but rather simply to build myself something awesome. As I neared the finish line for this truck though, I saw that it was really something that did not exist yet, and the whole reason I designed it myself was because there was nothing like it on Thingiverse, or anywhere else. So I've decided, for the other 3D printing, RC car, trophy truck fans out there, there is no more need to spend 16 months figuring everything out anymore. I hope this instructable can bring 3D printed RC trophy trucks to those who could never get one before, whether it be the RC aspect they are passionate about, or trophy trucks, or 3D printing, or any combination of the three.
Also, just for context, I'm 14 right now.
The first step is to get what you need to complete this project! All the necessary materials can be bought online for good prices. For some materials, there are many alternatives that would work perfectly fine also, I will list all the choices I am familiar with, and some advice about which to buy. Assuming you do not need to buy any tools, and that you go with the cheapest choice for all components (and already have a 3D printer), your total cost should be about $300. Just FYI, you will have some extra parts (bearings, screws, etc.).
disclaimer: the photo above does not illustrate all tools and materials needed.
I would also suggest having plyers and wirecutters just in case you need to refine a print or handle any issues. Scissors might be useful, and tweezers are surprisingly useful as well. You will need plastic or super glue.
with the cheap ESC, and it just didn't have enough torque to move the truck. It also can only take a 2 cell lipo battery, so you can't overcome the problem with more power. It might be that the ESC is garbage, I wouldn't be able to say for sure. The truck definitely is much heavier than your typical rig, so this is just a warning if you try anything else. Plus, your motor choice will have to be 55mm or shorter to work without modification of this truck.
For these, there are a lot of expensive choices. To be honest, I don't see the point in buying an $800 dollar transmitter, so I'm going to give you the cheapest choice that works great. It also has a third channel, which means that if you want to add LEDs or anything you will be able to control it remotely.
If you want more power, as the truck is very heavy, I would suggest using a 3 cell lipo battery. This just means more voltage.
You will need two sets of two, shorter shocks, 108mm, in the front, and longer shocks, 130mm, in the rear. I went with the cheapest possible, which works amazingly well. Unless you just have too much money to spend, I would suggest getting these shocks, because they somehow perform almost as well as $50 dollar shocks for just $6.
These much more expensive proline shocks will perform much better.
The option I used for this was from MetalConceptsRC, a machine shop owned by an avid RC fan. It is more expensive than most choices, but it is of high quality and very durable. The main reason I chose this is because it was hard to tell if other choices would even work, due to lacking documentation.
This driveshaft from Hot Racing was a very reasonable price and good quality. It had a good range of extension, which is needed in a high suspension travel situation, and it is plenty durable.
You can also buy the kit version, which is the same thing but a little more expensive. The only benefit is that you get rubber seals, which are mildly important.
I would be careful buying anything else because the gear ratios in the front and rear best be the same, and the helical gear needs to fit onto the gear carrier.
For you fancy people out there, you can also get differential oil, which will limit the effect your differentials have. If your differentials are too smooth, if one of your wheels loses traction, your truck can get stuck. Not a big problem in my opinion though.
These are used to secure tubing in the Rear Accessories Panel. They are for scale details. If you already have lego pins and axles, no need to buy these.
This will be used with the M5x10 screws to make fuel tubing. I had Lego tubing around, and it doesn't look too bad, so I chose to use it.
That is all that is needed! Now let's get onto building!
- Autodesk Fusion 360 - download here - The CAD software that I use is Autodesk's Fusion 360. This software is user-friendly and great for beginners. It isn't very powerful though, and the truck's files are huge. If you don't have a fast computer, you probably shouldn't use Fusion.
- SolidWorks - download here- For those willing to spend money, SolidWorks is the way to go. SolidWorks is an industrial CAD software that is as good as it gets. The only constraint with this one is that it's expensive.
- FreeCAD - download here - FreeCAD is free, and a popular software for hobbyists to use. If you can't run Fusion, then this would probably be your choice. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with this software, so you might have to do some research on your own (which is not a bad thing).
To view the actual trophy truck 3D models, you will need to download them. The truck's CAD file should be attached to this step of the instructable, so you can download it here. There should be 2 files, a .stl file containing the model for the wheel, which you will print later. The other file is a .iges CAD files containing the entire truck assembly. The CAD file is a virtual version of the final product, with real coloring, but with parts marked red being custom support material. This is where you will export parts, and this will tell you generally how to assemble them. I will go over which necessary print quality as I go over each section of the truck.
Using a standard FDM layer printer, you will need a slicer in order to turn 3D models into a language your 3D printer can follow instructions from. If you have a Prusa printer like me, I would suggest you use Slic3r PE. This software is quite powerful, as you can customize almost all settings you would ever want to, including supports. Otherwise, a good choice would be the normal Slic3r software or Ultimaker's Cura slicer. Both give you lots of freedom, though I would say Cura is a bit more user-friendly.
Let's start printing your first parts!
Firstly, you have to create an Autodesk account on their website to download Fusion 360. When this is done, open the Fusion 360 application. You may be asked to log in, which you should do. When it is loaded, press the blue "New Project" button on the top right of the Menu of the left side. In this new project, you can press the "Upload" button in the same location, then select the .iges files of the trophy truck. These may take a while to load in, but when they do, open both of the files. This may also take a few minutes, because there are so many components. Once this is done, we can get started exporting parts in the front end. Start by going to the "Truck" file. From here, in order to work with the components only in the front end, you can go to "Selection Sets" at the top of the browser to the left of the model. If you hover over the "Front End" Selection Set, then hover over the "Select" button which pops up on the right, you can right click to get a pop-up menu of options. Choose "Isolate" at the bottom of this pop-up menu in order to turn visibility off for all other components. To reverse this, repeat this process, but instead of displaying "Isolate" in the pop-up menu, it will display "Unisolate". The purpose of this isolation is to make this system of the truck more clear, and for ease of exporting.
Now that the "Front End" is isolated, we can start exporting some of the parts as 3D files, which can then be sliced and 3D printed. To do this, first, select the component you want to print by double-clicking the physical model. Then, you can go to the toolbar at the top of the screen, where there is a drop-down menu called "Make". Click this menu, then press the first option, which is labeled "3D Print". A menu should pop on the screen somewhere; drag this to wherever is convenient. On this menu, you can check the "Preview Mesh" button to view the triangles it has been split into. All the default settings for "Refinement" will work quite well. Under "Output", you should de-select "Send to 3D Print Utility", which is another one of Autodesk's softwares. Then, when you press "OK", you should get a pop-up in File Explorer/Finder, where you can save the .stl file wherever you want.
Now we can turn this .stl file into a .gcode file, which is a language 3D printers use. You can open the slicer software you downloaded. Since learning to use the slic3r software takes quite a few steps, I will suggest taking a look at this YouTube video. It should provide a visual aspect, as words can be harder to follow. If the part is not in a good position to print (not very much contact with the print bed, or lots of large overhangs; small holes can print vertically very easily), you can rotate it and translate it by right-clicking and selecting "Rotate", or by dragging the model around. Another way to do this more easily (though this doesn't always result in the best solution), is by using the "3D Builder" software developed by Microsoft. You can open the .stl file in 3D Builder, press "Import Model" on the top left, then press "Object" on the toolbar at the top. Select your object on the right side, then press the "Settle" button in the bottom section of the toolbar, whose icon is a shaded tilted square above a horizontal line. This will lay your model flat on the 'ground'; you can save this if it is ideal. If possible, I would suggest manual rotation though. After settling the object, you will still have to slice it.
Only two parts in this step need slicer generated supports. These two parts would be "Wishbone Left" and "Wishbone Right".
Now that you have exported your file as a .gcode file, you can insert your SD card from your printer into your computer, and load the .gcode file into the SD card. With the card back in the printer, you can turn the machine on, scroll down to "Print from SD", select, then find your exported file and start the print. You probably do care about color, so make sure the correct colored filament is loaded into the 3D printer before you start, and the color's I thought were ideal (and mostly true to real trophy trucks) are shown in the "Truck" CAD file.
To start assembly, fit the parts like shown in the "Front End" selection set in the CAD. Screw the parts together using M3 screws. Use your judgment to decide what length would be adequate; generally, just go as long as possible. To know where screws belong, check where there are aligned holes in two parts. For some of the rotating parts, which you can see in the CAD, make sure not to tighten the screws too much, so that the rotation is smooth and easy. Place bearings wherever there are grey rings which are named "[whatever size] Bearing". To connect the two halves of the "Wishbone", place some glue in the two indentations, then click the two halves together. To place the transmission into place, leave the "Front Diff Case Upper" off, and put the smaller 13 tooth gear from the complete front differential, and slide it into the two 6x12x4 bearings, with the gear side facing forward. Then, take the two 10x15x4 bearings (from the sides of the "Front Diff Case Lower"), and slide them onto the two sides of the differential, where the axles stick outward. Then place the differential into the "Front Diff Case Lower"; it should only fit in one way. You can lock it in with the "Front Diff Case Upper". Then, you can connect one front drive shaft (you bought this) on each side of the differential, so that the axle of the differential is locked into the hole in the drive shaft with the set screw it came with. Then slide one 10x15x4 bearing, then one 5x10x4 bearing, onto the other end of the front drive shaft, like shown in a photo above. Stick this end of the drive shaft into the steering block (it is ok if it is not secured right now).
When this is done, congratulations! You would have completed the hardest part of the build.
In this part of the build, you assembly the steering mechanism, and you will be able to turn the front drive axles back and forth using the servo!
You can print these parts at 0.15mm layer height with 40% infill. My preference for color is shown in the image above, and in the "Truck" CAD file. No slicer generated supports needed.
To start, put 2 bearings in each bell like shown in the CAD. Next, slide the two bells onto the stem. Then, screw in the "Steering Roll Cage Diagonal Connector" into the top of both cylinders using an appropriate M3 screw (I wouldn't use one that's too long; might break the cylinder). Then attach the Linear Transfer using more M3 screws, with the screw head facing up. Make sure the bells can rotate smoothly. Next, take out your servo horn (preferably one like shown in the photo and video above), and use one of the provided screws with the servo and attach the end of the Servo arm to the horn. Then screw the servo into the "Servo Mount" using more M3 screws. Then attach the other end of the servo arm to "Bell (2)" like shown in the CAD, with the screw head facing up, and making sure it can rotate smoothly. Then, we need to attach this assembly to the chassis plate using 6 M3 screws. Place like shown in the CAD model, then screw in 3 screws from the "Chassis Plate" into the "Stem", and 3 screws from the "Chassis Plate" into the "Servo Mount". At this point, it is ok to have some unused holes. In order to translate the motion of the linear transfer to the rotation of the steering blocks, we need to create some steering linkages. Take out your 4 rod ends, and use a pair of scissors to make the holes in the rod ends larger. They should be big enough so that when you screw in the M4x40 set screw, it won't come loose. Now that the holes are the right size, screw one rod end onto each side of the M4x40 set screws. This creates two steering linkages (the length will be adjusted soon). Then, secure one end of each steering linkage into the front facing holes of the linear transfer, then make sure the linear transfer is centered. Adjust the steering linkages lengths so that when they are attached to the vertical hole on their respective steering blocks, the steering blocks are centered also (the hole is facing directly right/left). See the photo and video above for reference. When this is done, when you move the servo motor, the steering blocks should rotate left and right like a real car.
If this was confusing to you, here is a diagram made by Daniel Noree for his openRC truggy. Keep in mind there are differences; for example, the two "pivot shafts" are one piece and called the "Stem" on this trophy truck, and the "Stabilizer" is called the "Steering Roll Cage Diagonal Connector" on the trophy truck, and has some differences.
With that, the moving parts of the front end are now finished!
In this part of the build, you assemble the rear end of the truck, which is the rear axle and the linkages which attach it!
Let's start by building the rear axle. Screw your Helical Ring Gear (the bigger gear) into the Gear Carrier. Slide one 10x15x4 bearing onto the cylindrical stub on the Gear Carrier, and slide one 10x15x4 bearing onto the cylindrical stub on the Helical Ring Gear. Then slide one Rear Axle into each end of the Gear Carrier; they should fit loosely, with the threaded end facing outwards. Take off the pre-existing bearings on the axles, and slide on 2 6x12x4 bearings on each side. This whole assembly should fit nicely into the "Rear Axle - Back" 3D printed casing. You can slide the bearings back and forth so they fit in the indentations of the casing. Next, put the last 2 6x12x4 bearings into the "Rear Axle - Front", and slide the Pinion Gear from metalConceptsRC into these two bearings, with the gear side facing the "Rear Axle - Back". Put the two sides of the 3D printed casing together, and lock them using M3 screws. This is the finished rear axle.
Next, get your 4 3D printed trailing arms, and screw one M3x12 set screws at the holes at the end of each trailing arm. Leave half of the set screw still poking out. Screw one rod end into each of the remaining parts of the set screws. In the CAD, the set screws are shown for the lower Trailing arms, but not the upper trailing arms. Then screw one rod end of each trailing arm into the "Rear Axle - Front", with the screw going through the silve ball in each rod end. Screw the lower trailing arms like shown in the CAD. Screw the upper trailing arms into the two indentations at the top of the "Rear Axle - Front", at the two sides of the V-shape. The other ends of the 4 trailing arms should be free right now. Now, we will attach the trailing arms to the Chassis plate. Screw in the lower trailing arms like shown in the CAD. The two upper trailing arms will be secured to the tabs sticking upwards in the "Chassis Plate", with only one hole in each tab. Screw the rod-end of the upper trailings arms to the tabs, with the 2 trailing arms between the 2 tabs. What you have made is a 4-bar linkage. If done correctly, the rear axle will only be able to move up and down, and twist, but not right or left. Pretty cool eh?
In this part of the build, you assemble the central transmission, and a GoPro mount if you want!
The rest can be printed at 0.2mm layer height with 20% infill.
To start, assembly the planetary central differential using the instruction manual which it came with. Then, take the "Main" body you 3D printed, and insert bearings like shown in the CAD. Take the "Cover" and insert bearing also like in the CAD. Place the planetary differential into the gearbox like shown in the photos above. Next, take your 3.175mm rod and cut it to a length of 29mm. Make sure it is not too short, and make sure a 1/8" x 3/8" x 5/32" bearing can slide up and down the rod, as you may have to sand the rod a little. Then, put the rod into the middle bearing in "Main", slide the 31 tooth pinion gear like shown in the photos, then slide the bushing on. Next, get your brushless motor and slide its shaft through the top 1/8" x 3/8" x 5/32" bearing in "Main". Screw at least 3 screws through "Main" to tighten the motor against it. Attach the 23 tooth pinion gear to the motor shaft and tighten the set screw. Take the "Cover", and place it like in the CAD, with the differential's axle and the 3.175mm rod going through their respective bearings. Screw the "Cover" and "Main" together. Spin the gears with your hand and make sure they rotate smoothly. I would suggest adding some grease. Then, place the "Cap" like in the CAD, and secure it to "Main" with 2 more M3 screws. The gearbox is finished. If you do want to use the GoPro session mount, you will have to take the "Cover" off, to insert a screw to attach from "Main" to the GoPro mount. There are 2 other holes to secure the GoPro mount to "Main" which can be screwed from the outside. You can place your GoPro session as shown in the photo above. Now, secure the gearbox to the "Chassis Plate" using 4 M3 screws, like shown in the CAD. You can use double-sided tape under the GoPro mount, though it is not necessary. Finally, take you Front Central Drive Shaft and your Rear Central Drive Shaft. We will work with the Front one first. Take one side of the drive shaft and attach it to the front-facing axle of the central differential, using the set screw it came with. Attach the other side of the Front Central Drive Shaft to the axle of the pinion gear in the front differential gearbox. This should take the motion from the motor to the front end of the trophy truck. Next, take your Rear Central Drive Shaft. Attach one end to the other axle of the central differential, and attach the other end of the drive shaft to the larger side of the "Rear Bevel Axle Shaft". Connect the smaller end of the "Rear Bevel Axle Shaft" to the axle of the pinion gear of the solid rear axle. This should take the movement of the motor to the rear of the truck. The reason "Rear Bevel Axle Shaft" is necessary, is because the bevel gear's axle is 6mm, while the central drive shaft's hole is only 5mm.
Nice job! Now the motor should be able to spin the front and rear drive axles!
This section doesn't require any 3D printing, simply rigging up your electronics to be able to move your motor and steering servo. I chose to put this step here, because it is more convenient to make changes and secure electronics without a roll cage on than with a roll cage.
Firstly, You can use double-sided tape or velcro to secure your ESC and receiver to the "Chassis Plate". You can see how I mounted them in the photos above. Connect the wires of the ESC to the wires of the motor; the order shouldn't matter for brushless motors. Connect the 3-pinned wire from the ESC to channel 2 of your receiver, so your ESC will get signals from the trigger of your transmitter. Connect the 3-pinned wire from the servo to channel 1 of your receiver, so that the servo is controlled by the steering wheel of the transmitter. Connect your lipo battery to the ESC and turn the ESC on, and turn your transmitter on also. If your transmitter is unable to communicate with the receiver (nothing is happening, the receiver had a red slow flashing light), they likely are not bound. You can use this video tutorial to bind them. Firstly, move the steering wheel and see if the steering blocks are rotating. You can adjust the steering range, equilibrium position, and direction using your transmitter. Next, move the throttle back and forth. Both the front and rear axles should be spinning forward. You can also reverse the direction of the spinning axles using the transmitter, or switch any two wires of the motor around. If the front and read axle are spinning opposite directions, flip the differential in either the front or the rear. If both the steering and throttle works, you can move onto the next step!
If your steering doesn't work, I first see if the servo works. If it doesn't make sure the wire is in correctly on the receiver. If the servo does work, take a close look back at the steering section to make sure all the building was done correctly.
If your throttle doesn't work, first take a look at where it is failing. Make sure the building was done correctly in the previous steps. If there is gear skipping between any two gears, you may have to edit the files in the CAD to counteract this, by moving bearing holes to a better location. Other than this, make sure your motor is functioning correctly without the gears, and make sure all of the axles and drive shafts are connected correctly.
This next step is fairly simple though time-consuming. This is what makes a trophy truck a trophy truck (for the most part at least)! In my opinion, this is the ideal menacing look, and hopefully, you feel the same. For the roll cage, I think it is definitely better to print and assembly parts at the same time, because there are so many components that you will probably lose track otherwise.
There is no selection set for the roll cage, but everything that is not in a selection set is the roll cage. So to access the parts in the roll cage, hover over each selection set, then right click on the "Select" button, and press "Show/Hide all", which should hide all of the components of that selection set. Hide all the selection sets. The remaining components are all part of the roll cage. And please excuse my naming; I have no idea what each part of the roll cage is called. Also, some of these parts have been named with a " - Roll Cage" at the end, and some parts don't have this. You can ignore this.
Everything else can be printed at normal quality.
This part of the build is very simple. For almost the entire roll cage, you assemble it using the M1.4x8 screws, through the small holes of joints and square rods. Other than than, you will only need some M3 screws also. Many of the holes don't align too well in the CAD, but that is because all the parts in the CAD were positioned by hand, and error can build up. It will all come together quite well in the real thing. In some places, it might be tight; You can use tweezers to widen a hole, and it's not too tight, it is fine to force it a little also. The "Spares Panel - Roll Cage" is the only panel mounted in the step because it is necessary to mount the spare tires, which are key to the trophy truck look. This panel will be mounted also with the M1.4 screws. The "Fuel Tank Underside Panel - Roll Cage" is not really a panel; its main purpose is to hold the lipo battery, so this will also be printed and assembled in this step. There are two main parts to this component, the top section and the bottom section. Neither are secured using screws. They will simply clamp around the joints and square bars around them, and you can glue the top and bottom together. You might also notice there is an aligned hole between Joint 4 and Joint 6 on each side. This will be used for shock mounting, which we will worry about in the next step. You will also use M3 screws to secure "Bottom Diagonal Right/Left - Roll Cage", to "Joint 18 Right/Left - Roll Cage". You will also use M3 screws to secure the two parts of the "Bumper Mount". Everything else should just be M1.4x8 screws connected joint to bar to joint.
What you should end up with, is something like the photos above. This should be one of the most epic steps of the build!
You do not need to print any parts to mount the roll cage. The roll cage mounts in a few different locations. Firstly, insert the 4 "Lower Vertical - Roll Cage" square bars into the 4 square holes in the "Chassis Plate". Make sure the 4 square bars in the front area also slide into the 4 joints in the steering assembly, called "Steering Roll Cage Vertical/Diagonal Connector". Next, get your M3 screw kit. Start by screwing "Joint 18 Right/Left - Roll Cage", into the "Chassis Plate", by screwing an M3 screw from the bottom. Next, screw in "Joint 19 Right/Left - Roll Cage" by screwing an M3 screw from above. Next, screw the "Bottom Diagonal Left/Right - Roll Cage" into the "Stem" of the steering assembly; these M3 screws go in from the sides. Next, screw the "Bottom Diagonal Left/Right - Roll Cage" into the Chassis plate, just by using 2 M3 screws on each side. Next, get 4 M1.4x8 screws, and screw the joints in the steering assembly into the 4 square bars. Finally, flip the whole assembly over, and screw 6 screws from the "Bumper Mount" into the chassis plate and into the "Front Diff Case Lower". Make sure to reference the CAD when doing this. Now the roll cage should be securely attached the rest of the truck. It should look pretty awesome right now.
Now, we'll start mounting the shock absorbers. You don't need to print any additional parts to do this. Just FYI, the shocks are not modeled in the CAD files. Get your two 108mm shocks which go in the front, and your 130mm shocks, which go in the rear. We'll start with the front shocks. The top of the shocks, where the colored cylinders are, will mount to the "Front Shock Tower - Roll Cage", using M3 screws. You should have mounted the "Front Shock Tower" in the roll cage assembly step. Reference the photo above to make sure you do this correctly. Mount the lower halves of the shocks onto the Wishbones. Each wishbone has a trapezoid sticking upward with 3 holes in them; you can choose which hole to mount the shock into to choose your range of suspension travel; I used the bottom-most hole. Now your front suspension should be working. Onto the rear, start by taking your rear shocks, and getting one M3x30 screw and one M3 nyloc nut (if you don't have this already, you can just use 2xnormal M3 nut) for each side. Insert the top of the shock between "Joint 4 - Roll Cage" and "Joint 6 - Roll Cage" for each side. Screw the M3x30 screw into "Joint 4 - Roll Cage", and go about halfway to "Joint 6 - Roll Cage". Insert the shock, and place the nyloc nut there. Now, screw the M3x30 screw in entirely, so that the shock is captured by it, and so the nyloc nut stops the shock from shifting around very much. Do this for both sides. Next, take the bottom half of the shock, and insert it into the rectangular indentation in "Rear Trailing Arm - Lower". You can use any of the 4 holes in the indentation, depending on the range of travel you want (I used the second hole from the top), and use an M3 screw to screw through the trailing arm and through the shock, to keep it in place. See the photos above for reference. Now your rear suspension should be working.
Since the front end is a little weak since the "Chassis Plate" itself flexes a little bit, I added an extra part to secure the Front Differential Casing in another way. You need to print one part to complete this step; it is called "Front Securer", and has its own selection set. You can print this part with normal quality. It mounts very simply. Get 2 M3x25 screws, and 2 M3x8 screws. The M3x8 screws go through the front two holes of the "Front Securer", and into the top two holes of the "Front Diff Case - Upper". The M3x25 screws go through the back two holes of the "Front Securer", and through the "Steering Roll Cage Vertical Connector", the "Steering Roll Cage Diagonal Connector", and the "Stem". Now the front end is much stronger.
Start by printing the rims, whose files have been attached separately as a .stl file, on the downloading software step. Print 6 of them, and they don't need supports or to be high quality. Make sure that the side with the detail, or the out-facing side of the drim, is facing up during printing. Take your tires, put the foams inside of them, and squeeze them onto the printed rims. We'll use two of the 6 wheels right now.
For this step, we will be mounting the spare tires like can be seen in the photos above. You'll need two of your M4x40 set screws, and you'll need 4 M4 nyloc nuts. First, tighten one nyloc nut, so that the closest part of the nut is 12mm away from the set screw's head (or lack of head). Put one wheel onto the M4 set screw, so that it is above the nyloc nut (insert it from the side with the set screw's head). Take a second nyloc nut, and lock the wheel in place. Now, screw this whole assembly into one of the cones sticking out of the "Spares Panel", like shown in the photos above. Do the same for a second spare tire, on the other cone on the "Spares Panel". Now your spare tires have been mounted.
Now, we will mount the other 4 wheels so the trophy truck can drive. Starting with the front wheels, take the small metal rod your front drive shaft came with, and stick it through the hole of the drive shaft. Then, take your 12mm Hex Hub, and slide it onto the drive shaft also, so that the metal rod is aligned with the indentation of the hex hub. Tighten the set screw of the hex hub. Now, push the wheel onto the front drive shaft also, and align the hex hub into the wheel's hexagonal indentation. The hub should fit all the way into the indentation; it may be tight. Then, take the M4 nyloc nut the front drive shaft came with, and tighten the front wheel into place. Repeat this process on the other front drive shaft.
For the rear wheels, do a similar process. Insert the hex hub that the rear axle came with, then insert the wheel (you may have to enlarge the hole in the wheel; you can just do this with a pair of plyers), then insert the nyloc nut that the axle came with. The flange of the nyloc nut may be too big, in which case you either have to grind the flange down, enlarge the indentation in the wheel, or get a non-flanged nyloc nut (M5).
Not that the wheels are mounted, you are ready to drive!
In this step, you print and assemble all the panels on the roll cage! This step is optional; for aesthetics only. And here you arrive at the biggest decision of your life: Panels or NO Panels!? I have gotten varying opinions on which looks better, so you choose. If you want panels but want to get driving more, you can always come back to this step too.
Again, export all of the parts from the "Truck" CAD file under the "Panels" selection set, as .stl files. Take these into your slicer, and export them as .gcode files. None of the panels need to be printed in high quality. 3D print all of them in your preferred color. Only two parts need supports, which are the equilateral looking triangle (not the right triangle) panel in the component: "Front Diagonal Panel Left/Right - Roll Cage".
To assemble the panels, you will have to undo and redo some of your work on the roll cage. Each panel has holes where there are already screws in the roll cage; you should unscrew these screws, and re-screw them in with the panels on after. The "Roof Panel" attaches using velcro, since it needs to be removed very often to work with electronics. The "Bumper Top Panel" mounts using 2 M3 screws, into the "Bumper Mount". The "Front Diagonal Panel Right/Left" has two main parts, which connect together using M3 screws, and two printed connectors. It mounts using mostly M1.4 screws and one M3 screw roll cage. For the "Rear Accessories Panel", to mount the blue tubing, you can use the M5 screws you bought, or lego pins and axles also work great. All other panels should be able to mount simply as one part using M1.4 screws. You can always reference the photos above.
Hopefully this enhances the look in your opinion.
Step 11: Take It for a Spin!
At last! I hope you have made it to this point in the journey, and that your truck looks as cool to you as it does to me. It sure was a rewarding experience for me, and I learned a ton about CAD and 3D printing. Now that the hard part is over, take it out to drive, and capture some sick footage for me!
Here are a few things that I might have done differently, or implement in the future. Firstly, I would want to increase the speed of this truck. It is quite heavy, and I didn't do a great job accounting for this with the electronics. I would probably change the gear ratio first for more torque as it is extremely oriented toward speed at this point--so much so that the truck can hardly move. I would also want to try a better motor, to get a better ratio of speed and torque to optimize both. Also, the rear end of the truck sags a little bit, also because it is so heavy. It isn't quite a problem, but it is a little sketchy, and doesn't look as great. I might just want to re-enforce that section of the truck. Finally, I am very happy with the trophy truck's look, though it does bug me a little bit how it isn't quite true to real trophy trucks. This would be because I didn't know very much about trophy trucks when I started, and it might be a little hard to fix now. Nonetheless, I am still very happy with how far I've gone.

Sarah Coyte has been a top all-rounder in the Australia Women team.
South Australia all-rounder Sarah Coyte retired from all form of cricket at the age of 25. The women player, who has been with Adelaide Strikers stepped down from international cricket last year. The player, reportedly, was fighting with mental health issues. Coyte’s family has a strong cricketing background. Scott Coyte, her brother, has been playing with Sydney Thunders in BBL. He also plays for Blues. Sarah Coyte has been a remarkable player who had a consistent performance in ODI. She has a batting average of 22.27 and a bowling average of 22.27 playing since 2011. She played 30 ODI alongside the Australia Women team.
About her further plans, the women cricketers said she will move to Sydney to live with her family and restore some balance to her life. She admitted that she realized how much she missed her family. The player is glad to be back home. She confirmed her leave from domestic cricket altogether to refocus on herself and her loved ones. The player was among the match winners in several domestic tournaments like WNCL and NSW, playing for Scorpions.
Andrea McCauley, Scorpions coach accoladed the player as a great influence over the young players. The coach also said that Coyte became an example through her commitment to strength and conditioning. McCauley lamented that it’s disappointing to lose such a quality player like Sarah Coyte.

While I have a host of policy disagreements with Cass Sunstein (who currently is a law professor at Harvard and formerly was chosen by President Obama to head up the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs), the fact of the matter is that Sunstein is a superb scholar. I once even urged President Obama to nominate him for the Supreme Court, and in similar circumstances, I would have no hesitation in making the same recommendation.
With that as my prelude, I am going to urge people to read Sunstein's latest article, courtesy of Larry Solum. Yes, I know that this is legal geekery, but it is very good legal geekery. Be sure to read it--and be especially sure to take the time to read it today.

In several countries such as IndiaIranBangladesh and Pakistanhenna and saffron are used on hair to give it a bright red appearance. I think that very smart, daring men love red hair, and I love that in a man. It is now almost certain that native Irish and Scottish Celts were taken probably as slaves to southwest Norway by the Vikings, and that they increased the frequency of red hair there.
It is only in the Late Bronze Age c. Mediterranean people have considerably darker pigmentations higher eumelaninespecially as far as hair is considered, giving the red hair alleles little opportunity to express themselves.
There is little or no evidence to support the belief that people with red hair have a higher chance than people with other hair colors to hemorrhage or suffer other bleeding complications.
The R1b invaders took local women as wives and concubines, creating a new mixed ethnicity. Then, from the Bronze Age, the Indo-European migrations from the Pontic Steppe affected much more central and northern Europe, considerably altering the gene pool and local lifestyle, by bringing East European and Caucasian genes and dairy farming, in addition to Indo-European language and culture.
The Nazi's discussed whether red haired people should be allowed to wed, fearing their degenerate offspring.
Consequently there are far more people carrying the mutation for red hair than people actually having red hair. It appears, for instance, in Singaporean newspapers such as The Straits Times and in television programmes and films.
On the one hand, they believed that red haired animals and people were associated with the god 'Set', and many of their pharaohs had red hair. However, the majority still takes getting into a relationship seriously. Napaleon Bonaparte Queen Elizabeth I Stupid Is As Stupid Does In modern-day United Kingdom, the terms "ginger" or "ginga" are used to derogatorily describe red-headed people, despite having one of the highest populations of redheads, or perhaps because of it.
There are many kinds of red hair, some fairer, or mixed with blond 'strawberry blond'some darker, like auburn hair, which is brown hair with a reddish tint. Modern Northern and Western Europe Red hair is most commonly found at the northern and western fringes of Europe ; it is centered around populations in the British Isles.
A 23 year old redhead was stabbed in the back. This also explains why the Anglo-Saxon settlements on southern England have a higher frequency of redheads than the Scandinavian settlements of northeast England.
When this leads to a wedding, the resulting unions are sometimes called love marriages. Don't Adjust the Color on Your Set Russian tradition declares that red hair is both a sign of a fiery temper and craziness, and a proverb warns, "There was never a saint with Dating singer featherweight machines hair.
The reason is that redheads have a mutation in a hormone receptor that can apparently respond to at least two different hormones: British legend states that King Arthur had red hair, and that a red haired leader would come to lead the country in times of trouble.
Red hair has far more of the pigment pheomelanin than it has of the dark pigment eumelanin. Enter Elizabeth I and Churchill, who were thought to be answers to this legend. Dating has also been depicted to be an activity of fun and happiness.
Another group, Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabhathreatened to do the same, for which it was Dating site for red hair mocked online and on the day after Valentine's Dayhad protesters outside its Delhi headquarters, with people mockingly complaining that it did not fulfill its "promise", with some having come with materials for the wedding rituals.

As they say at weddings: congratulations and best wishes!
Why the swagger? She sent her page proofs back to Oxford for her book Angels of the Underground: The American Women who Resisted the Japanese in the Philippines in World War II! Just in the nick of time, I’m sure, because OUP’s web page says you can pre-order it now and it will ship on November 2, 2015! Just in time for Veteran’s Day (in the U.S., because we’re special) and Armistice Day/Remembrance Day (everywhere else in the Anglophone world, almost), as it should be.
Gonna party like it’s 1799!
Congratulations, sister! As I’ve been reporting endlessly on this blog, I’m in the throes of getting The Many Captivities of Esther Wheelwright ready for copy-editing, so it made me really happy to see Kaminski’s celebratory tweet. I’ve already got my rig and dance moves picked out for the day this baby ships. (That’ll be me at left). Meanwhile, it’s all art logs, permissions, and credit lines, oh my!
This is only sort-of on topic, but I thought of you and got rather excited on Sunday when I was visiting the Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, NY. They are home to the Thaw collection of American Indian art, one of the best in the country. The collection is having a 20th anniversary party, so they’ve got a lot of choice pieces on display, including a couple of samples of moose hair embroidery that the Ursuline Sisters of Quebec taught to their First Nation charges. I think that the pieces on display are 18th or early 19th century, so a bit late for you, but there they are. Worth checking out if you’re ever in the area!
Awesome!!! Thanks for letting me know. This book I’ve just finished is actually almost entirely 18th C (Esther Wheelwright’s dates are 1696-1780) so it’s POSSIBLE that she might have made some of those objects, and it’s LIKELY that they were made under her supervision!!!
Am going to run to their website to check it out NOW!!! Thanks so much for thinking of me, NB!
That is so cool about the Fenimore Art Museum.
And thanks for the swagger boost! I have that photo labeled as “hero Peggy,” which kind of makes me think about the women in Angels.
But I love the classiness (classicalness?) of your 1799 party pose!
Can you email me manuscript of your Wheelwright book? I need something to read other than fucken blogges.
Will you give me notes/comments? I’m just about to mail it off for copy-editing, but I’d be grateful for any advice on improving the writing flow, avoiding typos, and I know you really care about quality writing.
I can’t promise to carefully typo hunt, but I’d be happy to provide feedback on higher-level stuff like flow.

I like the kurma served in restaurants alongwith chapathi/parotta. Tried making the same at home and the trial was a success. I made this in pressure cooker and it saved a lot of time.
Grind all the ingredients mentioned in the to grind list. Heat the oil in a pressure cooker and add the bay leaf, cardomom, cloves, cinnamon and marathi mokku. Once they crackle, add curry leaves, onion and saute till onions are golden brown. Add the ginger garlic paste and tomato. Saute till the raw smell is gone and the tomato is mashed well. Now add the cut vegetables. Add the garam masala, turmeric powder and salt and mix well. Add the ground paste and let in simmer for 5 mins. Now add 1 to 1.5 cups of water and close the cooker. Switch off after one whistle. Garnish with coriander leaves.
A mix of vegetables like carrot, beans, cauliflower, potato and peas can be used.
You can add soya chunks also alongwith the vegetables.
5-6 cashews can also be added while grinding the masala. It adds to the richness of the kurma.
Linking this to motions and emotions party and to WTML event hosted by Priya of PriyasVirundhu and started by Gayathri of Gayathri'sCookspot, sidedish mela of cookingforallseasons.

Hidden Art Recordings - 180 gram vinyl; Milky clear vinyl.
Hidden Art Recordings present the fistt vinyl issue of A.R. Kane's New Clear Child, originally released in 1994. A.R. Kane was the British musical duo of Aex Ayuli and Rudy Tambala formed in 1986. Ayuli is believed to have coined the term "dream pop" to describe the duo's sound, drawing from such genres as dub, psych, free jazz, and house. Following an early-90s hiatus, A.R. Kane broke the silence and released New Clear Child in 1994 only to dissolve shortly after. Re-mastered by John Rivers at Woodbine Street Studio especially for vinyl release.

The two diy that I share with you on the day of today have two characteristics in common, the first is that we will create some desktop clocks and the latter is that the aesthetics will be marmolada.
That if the difference is in the materials that we will make both watches; We may replace one of them with authentic marble and the other with polymer clay.
Which of the 2 diy to create watches of table do you prefer? Of course, you’ll also have to appreciate the difference of material costs.
We started with the tutorial to create a marble mantel clock.
The first thing we have to do is instruct the stonemason who cut us a piece of 1 cm thick in the form of a hexagon of approximately 7-8cms each side.
Then place tape washi-tape in the middle of the piece of marble and mark the Center with a pencil.
With a drill, we carry out a hole. Sugar and cloth that do not heat the drill bit occasionally the cools down with a few drops of water.
Once we have made hole put the needles and the clock mechanism.

Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) is a separation technique used instead of distillation when either: (a) the relative volatilities of the compounds to be separated are very similar; (b) one or more of the mixture components are temperature sensitive even near ambient conditions; (c) the distillation would require a very low pressure or a very high distillate/feed ratio.1The driving force for mass transfer is the difference in solubility of one material (the solute) in two other immiscible or partially miscible streams (the feed and the solvent). The feed and solvent streams are mixed and then separated, allowing the solute to transfer from the feed to the solvent. Normally, this process is repeated in successive stages using counter-current flow. The solute-rich solvent is called the extract as it leaves, and the solute-depleted feed is the raffinate. When there is a reasonable density difference between the feed and solvent streams, extraction can be accomplished using a vertical column, although in other cases a series of mixing and settling tanks may be used.
In this experiment, the operational goal is to extract isopropanol (IPA, ~10 - 15 wt. %, the solute) from a mixture of C8-to-C10 hydrocarbons using pure water as solvent. A York-Scheibel type (vertical mixers and coalescers, one each per physical stage) extraction column is available. Like most extractors, the overall efficiency (number theoretical stages/physical stages) of this column is quite low, especially in comparison to many distillation columns. The low efficiencies arise from both slow mass transfer (two liquid resistances instead of one as in distillation) and often also from maldistribution of the phases. The effect of agitator speed on both the solute recovery in the extract and the overall column efficiency will be evaluated.
JoVE Science Education Database. Chemical Engineering. Efficiency of Liquid-liquid Extraction. JoVE, Cambridge, MA, (2019).
Either the a) McCabe-Thiele method, or b) a process simulator (e.g., ASPEN Plus, HYSYS, ChemSep) may be used to estimate the number of equilibrium (theoretical) stages. The McCabe-Thiele method is employed on a solvent-free basis, meaning both the solubilities of the solvent in the extract and of the diluent compound in the raffinate are neglected. A stagewise representation of counter-current liquid-liquid extraction is shown in Figure 1, where F' is the molar flow rate of the feed (approximately constant), S' is the molar flow rate of extract (approximately constant), Xf is the mole fraction of solute in feed, Ys is mole fraction of solute in the solvent, Ye is mole fraction of solute in solvent in extract stream, and Xr is mole fraction of solute in diluent in the raffinate stream.
Figure 1: Stagewise representation of the extraction process.
In particular, the equation is satisfied at both ends of the column, so the points (Xf, Ye) and (Xr, Ys) lie on the line.The equilibrium data in the Appendix can be used in conjunction with this equation (either graphically or numerically) to step through the column.
The process simulators can do more rigorous stage-to-stage calculations, but still assuming equilibrium stages. Either the NRTL or UNIQUAC methods (both sets of parameters in the Appendix) can be used to model the equilibrium relationship. Note that the big advantage of the simulators is that they DO tell you how much solvent winds up in the extract and how much diluent winds up in the raffinate. They also can give the exit temperatures for an adiabatic column, or the heat duty needed to keep the column isothermal.
A York-Scheibel apparatus is shown in Figure 2. Feed can be introduced at the bottom (11 stages) or at the middle of the column (6 stages).
Figure 2: York-Scheibel liquid-liquid extraction apparatus.
The extraction unit consists of a 2" I.D. Pyrex column, with 11 extraction stages, each consisting of a one-inch mixing section and a four-inch wire mesh packing (coalescing) section. The column is mechanically agitated by paddlewheel-type (Rushton turbine) agitators. A variable speed motor, with a control knob and digital readout on the control panel, controls the speed of the agitator. Rotameters on the feed and solvent inlets are used to measure those flow rates. Flow rates of the extract and raffinate can be measured with a graduated cylinder and stopwatch.
where Ff is the feed flow rate (~10 wt. % IPA) in mL/min,Rf is the feed rotameter reading,Fs is the solvent flow rate in ml/min, andRs is the solvent rotameter reading.
In this experiment, the properties of n-nonane are a good approximation to those of the hydrocarbon mixture for equilibrium data purposes. The ternary system water/isopropanol/n-nonane exhibits Type I equilibrium behavior (there is some composition range over which phase splitting will not take place) at room temperature. The equilibrium data for this system can be found in the Appendix.
Fill the extractor with hydrocarbon mixture /IPA feed (if necessary) and bleed air from the feed line. Turn off the feed flow.
Start the mixer and keep the agitator speed constant.
Open the solvent, feed, extract, and raffinate ball valves; and start the flow of solvent (water) into the column.
If no interface is present between the solvent entrance and the raffinate exit, let the dispersed phase rise and form the upper interface.
When the upper interface forms, (re-)start the feed flow.
Control the interface level by adjusting the height of the inverted U on the extract line from the bottom of the tower.The upper interface level adjustment (inverted U) is sensitive. Movements of a fraction of an inch are often sufficient.
Periodically check the raffinate stream for steady state using gas chromatography. The gas chromotagraph will separate and quantify the components in the sample.
Use a hydrometer to measure the specific gravity of the extract stream and determine the composition. (This also can help confirm that steady state has been reached.) The extract stream composition vs. specific gravity tables can be found in Perry's Handbook.3 This data can be used to interpolate for weight percent of IPA.
Use a hydrometer to measure the specific gravity of the feed and raffinate for use in subsequent calculations.
Once the experiments are complete, turn off the agitator and main power switch.
Close the feed and solvent ball valves, leaving the raffinate and extract ball valves open.
Liquid-liquid extraction, or LLE, is a technique used to separate liquids that can not be separated with distillation due to temperature-sensitive components or similar solvent boiling points. Mass transfer in LLE is driven by the solubility difference of the solute in the immiscible or partially miscible feed and solvent streams. The feed stream containing the solute is mixed with the solvent stream, often using an agitator, allowing the solute to transfer from the feed to the solvent. The depleted feed, known as the raffinate, is separated from the extract, which is the solute-rich solvent phase. This video will illustrate an extraction of isopropanol from n-nonane, using pure water and study how operating variables affect the overall column efficiency.
LLE is typically performed in continuous stages using co-current or counter-current flow. Counter-current systems are generally preferred, as they tend to be more efficient. Usually, the stages are housed within a single unit. Counter-current extraction columns can be set up two ways. When the solvent is heavier than the feed liquid, or diluent, the solvent is introduced at the top of the column and the solute then exits at the bottom. When the solvent is lighter than the diluent, the solvent is introduced at the bottom of the column, and the solute will exit the column at the top. At steady-state, the material balance of the solute between the feed-end of the process and any stage denoted by N is as shown. Where X is the mole fraction of solute in the diluent, Y is the mole fraction of solute to the solvent. F is the molar flow-rate of feed diluent and S is the molar flow-rate of solvent. The analysis of theoretical plates is used to evaluate the efficiency of the separation process. These plates are hypothetical stages where two phases are in equilibrium with each other. If the two liquids are in equilibrium at a stage, meaning that there would be no change in concentration of either given longer mixing time, then the stage is considered to be a theoretical plate. The higher the number of theoretical plates, the more efficient the process. Operating variables such as temperature, pressure, flow rates and agitator speed affect efficiency and therefore theoretical plate analysis. The following experiment will examine an LLE process to extract the solute isopropanol from n-nonane using water as the solvent. This system, containing three liquids, is called a ternary system. Often, all three liquid components are miscible to some degree. Equilibrium behavior for these and other solvents can be found in the literature. Now that the basics of LLE and its operation have been explained, let's take a look at a separation process.
A York-Scheibel column will be used for this experiment. It is an agitated column with internal paddle-wheel impellers, connected to one vertical drive. Each level contains wire-mesh packing to enable phase-separation, and is separated by partitions to provide individual stages. First use the control knob and digital readout on the control panel to control the speed of the agitator. Use the rotameters on the feed and solvent inlets to measure the flow rate of feed and solvent. Use graduated cylinders and a watch to measure the flow rates of the extract and raffinate. Now start the mixer and keep agitator speed constant at 300 rpm. Open the ball valves for the solvent, feed, extract and raffinate. Start the flow of water into the column to obtain the desired solvent-to-feed molar ratio at a rate of 200 milliliters per minute. Observe whether an interface between solvent entrance and raffinate exit is present, and if not, let the dispersed phase rise to form the upper interface. Start the feed flow when the upper interface forms. Carefully adjust the height of the inverted U on the extract line from the bottom of the tower, to control the level of the upper interface between the two phases. This assures that the raffinate phase does not flow into the extract tank if adjusted too low, or that the extract is not flowing into the raffinate tank if interface is set too high.
Collect samples every 10 minutes at the raffinate sample point in four milliliter bottles. Use gas chromatography, or GC, to quantify the components and confirm that a steady-state has been reached. Next, using a clean graduated cylinder, collect 250 milliliters of the extract at the sample point, then measure the specific gravity or relative density of the sample to water, using a hydrometer. Interpolate the weight per cent of the isopropanol in the sample using the provided table, which displays extract stream composition versus specific gravity. Repeat the procedure for two other lower feed-rates. Make sure to keep both the solvent-to-feed ratio and the agitator speed constant. When finished, turn off the agitator and main power switch and close the feed and solvent ball valves, leaving the raffinate and extract ball valves open. Now let's evaluate the results.
First, let's take a look at the per cent recovery of isopropanol with varied feed-flow rate and varied agitation rate. With increased feed-flow rate, per cent recovery increases and levels off. This is typical of a system which is not near flooding. Increased agitation rate also increased per cent recovery. Stage efficiency, calculated using theoretical plate analysis via computer simulation is also affected by these parameters. As expected, both stage efficiency and per cent recovery increase with higher flow-rate and agitation. This is due to improved mixing, which results in smaller droplets and improved dispersion, thereby improving mass transfer, however, both relationships plateau at higher feed rates. Efficiency and per cent recovery level off and eventually decrease due to emulsification and flooding. The formation of an emulsion negatively impacts recovery and efficiency because the phases can no longer separate cleanly in order to move up or down to the next stage. This can be a problem in systems like the York-Scheibel unit, making mixer and settler vessels in series an appealing alternative.
Liquid-liquid extraction is a separation technique used in a wide range of separations and can be used in a variety of setups. In the case where the emulsification of phases is a challenge, mixer settler tanks in series can be used. This simple setup utilizes a tank where the two phases are mixed by an agitator. The two phases then coalesce in the settler tank, where the heavy phase eventually settles to the bottom and is removed through an outlet on the bottom of the tank. The light phase settles to the top and is removed via another outlet. Another separation technique that harnesses the solubility properties of a solute is solid-liquid extraction. In solid-liquid extraction, the solute present in a solid matrix is extracted into a liquid through vigorous mixing. This technique is used on a large scale for many applications, such as the removal of toxins like the herbicide Atrazine from soil.
You've just watched Jove's introduction to liquid-liquid extraction. You should now understand the basics of an LLE extraction using a York-Scheibel column and how process variables such as agitator and flow-rate can affect the solute recovery and efficiency of the column. Thanks for watching.
Figures 3 and 4 show results when both the agitation and feed flow rates were varied over a wide range. The overall efficiency and recovery increase before becoming asymptotic, which is fairly typical of liquid-liquid extractors that are not at or near flooding. At near flooding conditions, the overall efficiency and recovery are expected to sharply decrease. Note that, unlike distillation, flooding can take place in liquid-liquid extraction at either high solvent or high feed rates (or ratios).1 In this experiment, the lighter organic phase is also the dispersed (droplet) phase, so at high feed rates it is expected that the droplets coalescence prior to flooding, leading to lower rates of mass transfer and, therefore, lower recoveries and efficiencies. At high solvent rates the droplets should remain small, so it is expected that the recovery and efficiency remain high until very near the flooding point.
Figure 3: Percent recovery of IPA from hydrocarbon mixture into water, for a York-Scheibel column, 11 stages, 16 - 18 mol% IPA in Isopar E (feed), S/F (molar) = 1.5.
Figure 4: Percent overall stage efficiency for IPA extraction using a York-Scheibel column, 11 stages, 16 - 18 mol% IPA in hydrocarbon mixture (feed), S/F (molar) = 1.5.
where ε is the volume fraction of the dispersed phase. While ε can increase with an increase in either phase's superficial velocity, its changes are usually less marked than the change of diameter with respect to speed. So (usually) the more speed, the more interfacial area, leading to faster mass transfer.
The exception to the above discussion is at very high speeds, which were not reached in Figs. 3 and 4, where the two phases are so well-mixed that if the interfacial tension between them is low, emulsification will take place. The formation of an emulsion negatively impacts recovery and efficiency because the phases can no longer separate cleanly to move up or down to the next physical stage.Emulsification is a problem in many liquid-liquid extractions and where it cannot be limited a series of mixer and settler vessels in series is often preferred to column-type designs such as sieve trays or York-Scheibel units.
Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) is an alternative to distillation which relies upon solvent-feed immiscibility (or slight miscibility) and favorable solute partition coefficients to attain high solute recoveries in a solvent phase at as low a solvent/feed ratio as practical. Although the range of flows (the "turndown") over which LLE will be effective is often limited, and while stage efficiencies are low such that phase equilibrium is not attained, certain mixtures just cannot be separated using other methods in a continuous countercurrent process. Mathematical analysis of the equilibrium operation of such extractors follows a familiar McCabe-Thiele-type procedure (although reflux is often lacking, so only one operating line). The non-equilibrium ("rate-based") analysis of LLEs is complex and depends strongly on the relative velocity between the two phases (the "slip velocity"), bubble size, and dispersed phase fraction, all of which can be observed but are difficult to predict.
To perfectly describe the hydraulics and mass transfer of a typical LLE is beyond the capability of even the most sophisticated process simulators, at present. Therefore, design of industrial units still relies on scale-up from pilot-plant-type units, such as that which was tested in this experiment. Normally the engineer attempts to duplicate key descriptors such as the "a" parameter, solvent/feed ratio, total agitator power input/volume, feed location and number of physical stages to keep the stage efficiency and recovery constant during scale-up. Even so, scale-up is an inexact science, and impurities, which alter the interfacial tension, can greatly impact the performance of real systems. The more factors that are held constant, the more likely the scale-up will be successful.

Several tuned versions of the 2015 Ford Mustang will be on display at this year’s Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas. Among the many modified Mustangs are versions of the new GT from Petty’s Garage and Galpin Auto Sports.
Both companies used a supercharger to increase the performance of the 5.0-liter V-8 engine in the 2015 Ford Mustang GT, which as standard offers 435 hp. Petty’s Garage began by adding a Roush supercharger to the car, and then decking it out in blue paint and “No. 43” decals to honor NASCAR driver Richard Petty. Petty’s Garage plans to sell the car at a Barrett-Jackson auction, with the proceeds headed to a charity benefiting chronically ill children.
Galpin Auto Sports, recognizing that this is the Mustang’s 50th anniversary, decided to bless this modified 2015 Ford Mustang with the customary gift of gold. A gold-plated Whipple supercharger starts things off under the hood with power bumped to 725 hp. New front and rear fasciae feature a gold motif, the car’s black paint has gold flecks embedded into its surface, and the car’s interior trim pieces and brake calipers are also finished in gold.
In addition to these two cars, other tuners will use SEMA to introduce versions of the 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost with modifications to increase the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine’s output above its factory rating of 310 hp. Ford also plans to show several modified examples of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck at this year’s SEMA show.

An artist's impression of the proposed development off Letchworth's Avenue One, including an Aldi supermarket and a Travelodge hotel.
Letchworth could gain an Aldi supermarket and a Travelodge hotel within 18 months if a proposed £16 million redevelopment gets the green light.
The plans for the 4½-acre industrial site off Avenue One – between Baldock Road and Sixth Avenue – were shown to the public at the Herts FA offices in Baldock Road on Wednesday, with a planning application set to be lodged later this month.
A fast-food restaurant and a café are also in the blueprint – and a spokesman for developers Aberdeen Asset Management told the Comet that if all goes smoothly, the site could be ready by next autumn.
“It depends on the planning application, but we hope we can start work by the end of this year,” he said.
He added that the regeneration would create about 150 new jobs, and was well-received by the 36 people who attended Wednesday’s exhibition.
The construction would make 37 jobs, with another 29 or so created in the supply chain during the redevelopment.
The plans include parking spaces for 216 cars, split between the supermarket, 73-room hotel, fast-food outlet and café – the last two of which would both have drive-throughs.
It has not yet been confirmed which fast-food restaurant and café are planned.
Aberdeen’s Haseeb Hassan said yesterday that the firm – also behind the new A1 Retail Park in Biggleswade – was set to invest more than £16 million into the site.
“After several years of looking for new tenants for the site without success, we decided that a redevelopment into a new modern multi-use facility was the best option,” he said.
The Comet understands that the planning application is set to be lodged with North Herts District Council in the week beginning February 20.
You can get more information about the Letchworth plans, view copies of the exhibition display and make your own comments online at 1avenueone.co.uk.

Democratic San Antonio mayor Julian Castro is scheduled to headline the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, Tuesday night despite a questionable record on crime and education and campaign finance.
When he ran for mayor in 2009, the 37-year-old Castro campaigned on a pledge to reduce crime, saying, "Making our communities safe is my top priority."
San Antonio’s crime rate, however, has seen only meager improvements since Castro took office. Unsolved murder rates have skyrocketed.
"Rapes are up 5.3 percent from the previous year, to 492 reported incidents; aggravated assaults are also up 5.3 percent from 2009, to 4,672 reported incidents; and motor-vehicle thefts are up 1.5 percent from 2009, to 5,893 reported incidents," according to National Review.
Meanwhile, San Antonio’s unsolved murder rate has increased from 24 to 39 percent from 2010 to 2011.
The mayor’s education record is no better. San Antonio’s schools have continued to perform at the worst levels in the state under Castro’s leadership, despite the mayor’s campaign promise of school reform.
"Annual rankings by Children at Risk, a Houston-based nonprofit, find that San Antonio schools continue to perform the worst among schools in Texas’s large cities. The most recent assessment placed only 13 percent of the area’s schools in the top tier and put 37 percent in the lowest-performing group," according to National Review.
Additionally, San Antonio’s unemployment rate has increased from 7.2 percent to 7.3 percent during Castro’s time in office, and has reportedly reached as high as 8.1 percent.
Apart from his lack of mayoral achievement, Castro is also the son of a left-wing radical.
His mother, Rosie Castro, was a leader of the La Raza Unida movement to promote "Chicano identity." She was described by the New York Times as a "’70s firebrand.’"
For example, Rosie Castro once said that "the ‘heroes’ of the Alamo were a bunch of drunks and crooks and slaveholding imperialists" and that "I hate that place and everything it stands for."
Julian Castro hung a La Raza campaign poster in his office as one of his first acts as mayor, according to the New York Times.
Castro’s political success can be attributed, in part, to the help of a scandal-ridden Democratic benefactor.
Obama supporter and controversial San Antonio lawyer Mikal Watts held a fundraising event for Castro in 2009.
Castro "referred a wrongful-death lawsuit to Watts’ San Antonio law firm," according to a San Antonio political gossip blog, and "collected a sizeable fee after the case was settled."
Castro’s dealings with Watts drew criticism from Castro’s political opponents when Castro allegedly loaned his mayoral campaign a $215,000 portion of the "sizeable fee."
Castro has close ties to Barack Obama. He is a frequent guest at the White House and has attended several Obama events—he even sat in First Lady Michelle Obama’s box at the 2012 State of the Union address. Castro has also participated in Obama campaign conference calls, according to National Review.

1. By cashing out before retirement, these people are going to give away about half of the money to the government for taxes and penalties.
2. More importantly, they are giving up about $8 for each dollar they cash out. If they had held the money in their 401k from age 50 and retired at about age 70, that $150,000 they took to start a coffee shop would be worth about $1.2 M – enough to finance a good portion of their retirement. Instead it all now rests on the fortunes of a small business that very well may fail as most do.
3. Now, when they reach retirement, they’ll probably get there with no money and everyone else will need to support them because they decided to leave a six-figure job to “pursue their dream” or because they used their retirement savings to pay off credit cards that they’ll probably run the balance right back up again within a year because their behavior hasn’t changed.
Don’t get me wrong – I think it is great to pursue your dream or to get out of debt and stop paying credit card companies 18% interest. It is just that using your 401k to do so means that you’re throwing away the one thing that, no matter how badly you screwed up your budgeting and savings while you were working, would nearly ensure you have a comfortable retirement. If you want to start a business, start living like a college student and direct some of that six-figure income into a savings account until you save up enough money. If you want to get out of debt, change your spending and start down Dave Ramsey’s “debt snowball.” If things really are impossible – like you have $100,000 in medical bills and $50,000 in credit card debt but you only have a $60,000 per year salary, maybe a bankruptcy is the right path for you (not something I say lightly). Don’t give up your retirement assets.
8. Once money becomes an asset, it stays an asset unless an emergency happens. This is especially true with money in retirement accounts. Never borrow against a 401K or take money out unless you are retired or facing homelessness.
As discussed in the seventh rule, you should spend part of your money building up assets. These are things like stocks and bonds, a reasonable personal residence for your needs, and maybe a rental property or two. These are your “pipelines” that will keep you from needing to carry buckets for all of your life. They are hard to build and it takes some sacrifice to build them, so don’t go ripping them out on a whim just when they are starting to flow water.
A huge, critical asset everyone should have is a 401K account, with maybe an IRA account on the side. If you work for the government or are self-employed so that you don’t have a 401k option, use whatever options you do have, even if it is an account at a mutual fund invested in index funds called “Sam’s Retirement Account.” People talk about how wonderful pensions were while they bad-mouth 401k plans, yet you were never able to go up to the pension fund manager and ask to take out your portion at 45 to start a doughnut shop. It wasn’t happening. Leave your 401k alone and compare the outcome with that of a defined benefit plan and you’ll find the 401k isn’t such a bad route after all.
Beyond the 401k, if you want to become financially independent, you need to be building up assets. As discussed in the 7th rule, Rich People Buy Assets, you should always be putting some of your paycheck away into investments since those investments will add to your income. When you have enough assets that your investment income equals your work income, you’ve become financially independent.
You should also be looking at buying assets to pay for things rather than pay for them directly with your salary. For example, rather than just paying for a vacation each year from your salary, start putting money away regularly into a mutual fund designated for vacation funding and then use a portion of the proceeds from that mutual fund for vacations each year. You can do this for car purchases, meals out, and even donations to charities. You then scale your spending based on the revenues generated by your assets. As your assets grow, so does your lifestyle.
The beauty of this technique is that you get to have your cake and eat it too. You get to go on the vacation, but then you come back and instead of having a big credit card bill to pay off, you still have the assets, producing more income and replacing the money you used. You work to pay for your vacation once and then you’re done. You never have to work to pay for vacations again. Kind of like growing an apple tree and then getting apples every fall for the rest of your life with little work on your part once you’ve done the work of digging the hole, conditioning the soil, and training and pruning the tree as it grows until it is fully established.
But you don’t take out a saw and start cutting off limbs from the tree for firewood. If you start selling off assets and using your principle instead of the interest you’re generating, you will reduce the amount you get next year. This builds on itself, requiring you sell more assets to pay for things because you reduce the number of assets you have and the income they provide.
So once you buy an asset, do all you can to avoid using the principle. Instead, limit your spending to the income produced, minus a little bit to allow your assets to reinvest and grow bigger while your net worth is still fairly small. Especially leave your most important asset alone – your retirement funds. The time when you will not be able to work anymore is coming, and you owe it to yourself and everyone else to be prepared.

Outstanding as always!! I shared this one on my blog, along with my own little rant.
Thanks very much for the continued support.

Look what landed on my doormat this morning!
Perfect bound, its cover like a silk skin, that ink-on-paper fresh-from-the-printer’s aroma; the latest issue of The Interpreter’s House is a joy to handle. Running my eye down the list of poetry and prose contributors on the back cover, I’m impressed. And delighted to be in such fine company, as I have a little poem in there, too. It’s one that will feature in my forthcoming pamphlet as part of a short sequence (more about that in my next blog post).
You can buy a single copy or take out a subscription here.
Me? I’m factoring a long coffee stop into my day.
My last poetry day out in Sheffield was a bid to take my mind off impending hip replacement surgery. It did the trick. Yesterday, with footie on the telly and two men with chainsaws in the garden, a day ticket to a Midsummer Poetry Festival was just the (ahem) ticket.
Next up, readings by Nia Davies, John Harvey, AB Jackson and Roy Marshall provided the small audience with diverse writing styles and delivery. I particularly enjoyed AB Jackson’s wit and polished performance. I hear Roy read regularly, so enjoyed hearing three new poems inspired by his former work as a cardiac care nurse. I admired Nia Davies’ feminist voice; hard-hitting poems.
Technical issues beset Rob Hindle’s solo performance of Yoke and Arrow, a poem-drama about the Spanish Civil War and the death of Lorca. In fact, I found the documentary and news footage rather too distracting overall.
I enjoyed Matthew Clegg’s one-off performance of his poem series, Chinese Lanterns, aided by fellow Longbarrow Press poet, Andrew Hirst. A tea ceremony and the use of simple props engaged the audience from the outset..
The final event was an ‘orchestration’ of readings from The Footing anthology by Longbarrow Press poets. Again, I enjoyed the contrast of styles and voices, not least James Caruth, whom I enjoyed hearing for the first time last summer.
If you’re local to Sheffield or fancy a day out, the poetry festival has events throughout June. (Click on the link above for details).
This brick wall art is rather arresting, don’t you think?
It’s official – I’m obsessed.
But it’s not always been the case. You see, if my ‘seventies State Secondary education taught me anything, it was that I wasn’t ‘artistic.’ And I hated my art teacher, even if he was a) male and b) young (staff attributes in extremely short supply in my Girls’ High School). The other (female) art teacher was ‘hip’ and ‘mod’ (and my best friend was in her class). Even worse, I was expected to transform a blank sheet of cartridge paper with nothing more inspirational than said teacher’s voice droning lines from a play about some Welsh fishing village full of dead people. And I got what I wished for: I defected to the art class next door and deafened (deadened?) myself to the magic in the Welsh bard’s words.
Until (shame on me) relatively recently, when I was transported to Llareggub by Richard Burton et al in the 1954 BBC recording of Dylan Thomas’ ‘Play for Voices,’ on air one sleepy Sunday afternoon (somewhere mid-sick leave), this spring. And utterly convinced by Tom Hollander’s lead performance in the biopic ‘A Poet in New York.’ Since then, courtesy of BBC4, I’ve been on a guided tour of The Writing Shed with Owen Sheers, and marvelled over Peter Blake’s Under Milk Wood-inspired labour of love. And I’ve raged against my ageing, addled brain for failing to record the BBC Wales TV production which followed, as if my bingeing on iPlayer hasn’t been sufficient. It hasn’t: I want a recording I can watch anytime. I’ll just have to wait for a repeat showing (or the release of the inevitable BBC DVD). All three programmes are still available on iPlayer for one day. (Click here, here and here for an instant fix).
Read all about the Sole2Soul project’s first workshop here. You can follow and get updates on Twitter @sole2soulwrites and #sole2soul.
On Monday the Centre for New Writing held the first workshop for their Sole2Soul project as part of the Storytelling strand for Click; Connect; Curate; Create.
This first workshop for Silver Champions was aimed at encouraging participants to create new pieces of creative writing based on the Falkners Shoe and Boot Workshop exhibit at Harborough Museum. 12 people signed up to the course and by the end of the day we had some completed (and almost completed) pieces of Twitter fiction, flash fiction and poetry all inspired by objects relating to the Falkners shop.
The silver champions were photographed with their chosen object including the exhibit itself, a pair of show lasts, a receipt and some ribbon. The range and quality of work produced was very impressive and we look forward to sharing the final pieces. Make sure to follow @Sole2Soulwrites to read these works and the commissioned pieces that will be awarded.

Leni Zumas’ novel Red Clocks takes place in a world quietly similar to our own, until the U.S. Congress ratifies a “Personhood Amendment,” nullifying Roe v. Wade and granting constitutional rights of life, liberty and property at conception. Abortions are federally banned; abortion providers can be charged with second-degree murder, and anyone who tries to end her pregnancy is charged with conspiracy to commit murder. The Canadian government cooperates, capturing those women suspected of crossing the “pink wall” for abortion or in-vitro fertilization, also federally banned because “embryos can't give their consent to be moved." And new legislation called “Every Child Needs Two,” requires that adoptive parents be married.
Akin to Elizabeth Strout, Zumas layers the individual struggles of her characters into something more imperative, and her sociological insights evoke the style of Eileen Myles and Margaret Atwood. Zumas wrote her thesis on literary representations of female artists, analyzing Atwood’s "Surfacing," about an illustrator struggling with her place in society and whether to become a mother.
Unlike other dystopian novelists, Zumas plots no dramatic martial law. Her characters simply wake to a president they didn’t vote for and then later to the legislation that decides how their bodies are used. In an Oregon fishing town, four characters swallow what it now means to be a woman. One wishes she could escape her children, one surrenders a child for adoption, one seeks abortion and one desperately wants to be a mother.
The story centers on Ro, “The Biographer,” a depressed, single, high school history teacher, whose father lives in a Florida retirement home, whose brother died of a heroin overdose, and whose last chance to have a child is through artificial insemination. Ro visits a fertility specialist’s office, described as “a room for women whose bodies are broken,” where she tries to rationalize her urgent impulse to motherhood.
Susan, “The Wife,” lives in the house she grew up in with an aloof husband who teaches at the same school as “The Biographer.” Susan begs him to attend couples therapy while trying not to resent their two toddlers who annoy and fatigue her stay-at-home life. Susan envies Ro’s childlessness but offers only condescension, both women burdened by societal expectations.
Adopted Mattie, “The Daughter,” loses her virginity to her careless boyfriend. The promising but pregnant 15-year-old in the Biographer’s class, she pursues abortion in a world that now views her as criminal.
Gin, “The Mender,” a defiant healer, shares forest herbs to help end pregnancies for women without money or insurance. Arrested in a modern-day witch hunt, her narrative unites the other women, who work to get Gin acquitted.
And Eivør, a 19th-century, Faroese polar explorer and the compelling subject of Ro’s biography, disrupts each chapter with fragments of her brutal determined life, serving as a compass for women who persist.
Zumas fluently speaks their truths, from the Daughter’s fear and earnestness, to the Mother’s conflicted emotions and the Mender’s earthy intuition. Her prose will suddenly quicken in a flood of anxiety, sarcasm and rationality.
“She doesn't want to skip the Math Academy.
Or to push it out.
She doesn't want to wonder; and she would.
The kid too—Why wasn’t I kept?
Was his mother too young? Too old? Too hot? Too cold?
She doesn’t want him wondering, or herself wondering.
And she doesn’t want to worry she’ll be found.
Thrilled by her mercurial style, I bookmarked a dozen pages in Zumas’ "Red Clocks," a story that cleverly reveals the underpinnings of a current socio-political wrangle yet maintains hope for personal transformation. Leni Zumas is one to watch.

The Halloween candy has arrived and it’s taking every ounce of willpower I have to avoid the trick-or-treat bowl as much as possible. The obvious response, of course, is to make your own candy. Right? Thought so.
I’ve always been a Heath Bar lover. That’s what I always get on ice cream, and Heath Bars were one of my favorite treats in my Halloween basket as a kid. I’ve been putting off making my own because candy-making is intimidating. You have to have patience and a candy thermometer, and I never seem to have both at the same time.
But when I dreamed up a pumpkin spice toffee, I knew I needed to make it happen. After trying a couple different ways, I landed on this Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Seed Toffee Bark recipe. Let me tell you: It has toffee, it has pumpkin spice, it has roasted pumpkin seeds. It even has sesame seeds, dark chocolate and sea salt. Everyone knows this is what fall tastes like.
Once you have your candy base, you can stir in vanilla and pumpkin pie spice. Spread it over roasted pumpkin seeds, and sprinkle more on top. Also add sesame seeds, dust with sea salt and drizzle on dark chocolate. Pop it in the fridge for a bit, and you’ve got a a glorious tray of hardened pumpkin seed toffee candy.
Click through for the Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Seed Toffee Bark recipe!
Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Spread pumpkin seeds on baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until lightly browned. Set aside. Once cooled, reserve 1/4 of the the pumpkin seeds.
Clip a candy thermometer, if using, to a large sauce pan, about 1/2″ away from the bottom of the pan. Grease lightly with cooking spray.
In a large saucepan, combine butter, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking often. Reduce heat if necessary. Cook approximately 12-15 minutes or until the mixture is golden. (If using a candy thermometer, remove from heat when the mixture is 300° F.
Stir in the vanilla and pumpkin pie spice until well blended. Pour and spread over nuts. Let cool 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle on remaining pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and sea salt. Drizzle with melted dark chocolate. Refrigerate until set. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
And OMG you guys. These pumpkin recipes! Get after them. Huge ups to Sara at Cake Over Steak for coordinating this fun blog get-together.
Mmm love the way this sounds!! So tasty!
Love this!! Looks so good! Happy pumpkin day!
HEATH BAR! Why have I not thought of this in like a year! Heath bar crunch ice cream was all I ate in college (well, all I wanted to eat anyway). This pumpkin toffee bark looks amazing and I agree that it is the perfect solution to not eating Halloween candy (It’s one of those solutions that you shouldn’t think too hard about and just go with it…haha). I’m busy working my way though all of the amazing pumpkin recipes. Everyone did such an amazing job from savory, to sweet, to the amazing drinks. I’m happy Sara brought us all together! Nice to meet you and your beautiful blog.
Yum! I’ve been thinking about making some kind of holiday bark this year. This looks awesome! And now I have enough pumpkin spice recipes to last me for the next ten years… ha ha!
This sounds so good! Candy is such a specific art form, so props to you for nailing this one. Thanks for joining in on the party!
Thank you, Sara! Candy is super difficult, but I am so glad I tried it! Thanks again for hosting!
Wow! This dark chocolate pumpkin seed toffee bark recipe is incredible! I’m seriously so inspired right now. I need to add cinnamon to recipe and it would be perfect. Thx for sharing Susannah!
Thanks so much, Jill! I bet cinnamon would be PERFECT in this. I hope you enjoy it!
Gorgeous pictures. I made these dark chocolate pumpkin seed toffee barks for the super bowl party and it was a crowd favorite. I’m also gonna pin this post on my Pinterest board my followers will love it. Thanks for sharing, Susannah!
That dark chocolate pumpkin seed toffee barks looks absolutely fantastic. Beautiful photos, too. I look forward to trying this.
Thank you so much, Kara! I hope you enjoy it!
These dark chocolate pumpkin seed toffee bark are stunning. I’m not a talented baker, but I would love to give these a try!

It has been noted by observers that Russia is consistently diverting a good percentage of its export earnings into National Wealth Fund (NWF), which is part of the nation’s gold and foreign exchange reserves. It is also doing other things to bolster up reserves, like hiking oil industry taxes and value-added tax, and raising pension age sharply. The objective is to increase the NWF into 14.2 trillion rubles by 2021. This is all well and good, as a huge reserve of gold and foreign exchange will ensure stability to the economy, even if something unexpected happens, (like US sanctions or a world economic crisis) the economy will remain unaffected to a great extent.
However, the policy will affect growth and upset Putin’s plans to make Russia one of the world’s five most powerful economies by 2024. Vladimir Tikhomirov of the BCS brokerage observes that attaining stability has its advantages, but the policy will reduce the money flow needed economic renewal. His is not an isolated view. The policy will affect microeconomic growth, though from a broader, macroeconomic point of view, the picture looks bright. However, the policy is an inflexible one, and the idea is to find money for development through borrowing. Andrei Makarov, who heads the budget committee of the Russian parliament stated that the 2019 budget envisages the surplus of about 2 trillion rubles. He added that the reserve will protect Russia from fluctuations resulting from the oil situation economic sanctions that might be imposed on it.
The oil situation is unpredictable indeed, as any minor upheaval can cause an escalation in oil prices. But Russia is more anxious about a new wave of sanctions from the US. And it is not difficult to see the factors behind this anxiety. The 2014 sanctions, prompted by Russia’s annexation of Crimea ate into about one-third of reserves and the country returned to growth only last year. At present there are two issues looming large that may provoke the US to impose sanctions again. One is Russia’s alleged involvement in the murder of a former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter which happened in England. The other is the charge about Russia’s interference in US elections. Russian policies in Ukraine and Syria could become another contributing factor.

Phnom Penh Post - Court "failing in its role to keep the public informed"
Court "failing in its role to keep the public informed"
Defense lawyers at the ECCC and court monitors fired back at the tribunal yesterday, charging the court with a lack of transparency. On Tuesday, Co-Investigating Judges had ordered Ieng Sary's defense lawyers to remove allegedly confidential documents from their website.
"Despite the confidentiality of the investigation, the ECCC is a public institution. The OCIJ is clearly failing in its role to keep the public informed about developments in the investigation," Andrew Ianuzzi, legal advisor to Nuon Chea's defense team, told the Post.
In a statement posted to the controversial website, Ieng Sary's lawyers wrote they had temporarily removed several documents pending a more complete legal response.
"By filing this submission at the precise time [Ieng's lawyer] Mr. Karnavas was on a plane back to The Netherlands suggests that this timing was a tactical decision by the OCIJ," the defense lawyers wrote in their statement. They went on to say that they will not "give in to attempts, deliberate or inadvertent, to limit our right to speak out publicly to protect our client's interests."
Another interesting point: In their statement, the defense lawyers noted the OCIJ's promise to "communicate more systematically about their activities in the future" and to "publish an increased number of documents with regard to the judicial investigation."
According to Ieng Sary's defense team, "this is a clear admission of the lack of transparency in the OCIJ's investigation thus far."
Recently, it appears that the court has become more sensitive about controlling information. This may be in response to several perceived leaks. In addition to documents filed on Ieng Sary's defense website, both the Post and Cambodia Daily published stories Monday about confidential requests from Nuon Chea's defense team.
These requests "were received Saturday in an unsolicited email created under an apparently fictitious name," the Daily wrote. "The owner of the email account did not respond to requests for comment."

Dandelion's Planner is found at the Rosemary and Thyme. It lists his most recent assignations.
rair Rosa would sink into humors blue.
to swing her Dwarf with agility.
she shuns not straw when gripped in lust's embrace.
Though timid in looks, no adventure did skip her.
My heart melts when she asks, "Ever had a Big Dipper?"
Standing on stage, her squawks are drowned by snores.

Great place to store: are there other sites around that are lower YES, keep in mind that LESS doesn't always = A good product. My experience at PSA ALHAMBRA has out reached my expectations. Customer Service provided by Frank the Manager is outstanding. During my time in the office discussing the site with him, 2 other customers walked right in and interrupted me while I was talking to Frank about the site and honestly enjoying his excitement about both PSA sites and he was honest that if cost was something that was an issue he went on to the other PSA site to assist me with rates, needless to say in Alhambra which is a great city the two customers that were so rude yes were Asian, I love Alhambra but respect is not something that culture knows very much about. Frank was very professional to them even after they continued to ask Uhaul question after question he was patient, calm, and showed them respect which is something they didn't show him or myself. Customer service is tough in any business.. I am glad that I was reminded of how important it is when representing a corporation and a Family business. I am a very happy renter at PSA ALHAMBRA. I encourage anyone looking for storage no need to look hit up PSA ALHAMBRA. GREAT WORK Frank.
Renting since September . Moved in on a Friday night arrived late, but the Mgr Frank was move than happy to assist me with staying late and made sure to review all my paperwork with me, review the rules and regulations. He made it fun by showing he cared about me and my items. His personality makes you want to rent with him on top of his caring about the site and making sure I had everything I needed to ensure me as a customer was ready to move in. Wish other companies had a Frank to work with, life would be a better place for all of us. Thank you for being real, honest and caring. PSA is lucky to have you as their Manager and us customers are blessed to have you watching over our site. Peace Man.
I needed a unit and noticed PSA by the Holiday Lights up and the colorful balloons got my attention. I arrived at 5:40 p.m. and noticed that the office closed at 6:00 p.m. when I walked in I ask if it was too late to rent a unit and the person behind the desk stood up, introduced himself to me as Frank and said "never to late to rent and help a customer" needless to share I was stunned that customer service like the kind Frank provide still is alive and well in this world. I was shown two units the property was clean, the unit price was way below my budget and the entire experience was OUTSTANDING. Thank you, Frank, for your kindness and please accept my apologies for not getting this review done back in late November of this year (2018) Happy Holiday Buddy.
Francis always helpful and nice. The storage site is clean and quiet all the time.henry.

The restoration process of a Goryeo-era stone pagoda -- South Korea’s national treasure No. 209 -- has been completed, the Cultural Heritage Administration said Sunday.
According to the officials, “Stone Pagoda of Casket Seal Dharani,” comprising of five parts, has been dismantled and put back together to more closely resemble its original form.
The structure, designated as a national treasure in 1982, was been found to have been inappropriately assembled during the CHA and Jung-gu Office’s joint research and preservation effort in 2015. More specifically, the direction of three of the five stones was wrong.
The pagoda is also called “Bohyeobin Stupa,” as it enshrines Bohyeobin Dharani Sutra. Its design drew inspiration from the stupas made during the Chinese Wuyue Kingdom (907-978), and is the only extant one of its kind in Korea.
While the stupa was uncovered at the site of an old temple in Cheonan, South Chungcheong Province, its exact origin is unknown as no record of the temple remains. Based on its structure, experts think the 1.9-meter pagoda dates back to the Goryeo period.
Despite the restoration, the pagoda is still shrouded in mystery, as many of its parts are thought to have disappeared. It is currently impossible to determine its exact form, as its design is unlike the typical Korean-style pagodas that remain today.

Why is the 15th of August a holiday?
The obvious answer is that the 15th of August is a holiday because it is our country’s Independence Day. But have you ever wondered why we need a holiday that day?
15th August is always a holiday for every Indian – so that we have a chance to pause and remember that there was a time when we were not free. It is a time to recall the selfish and foolish mistakes that led to our being ruled by a foreign power – so that we never repeat those mistakes again. And it is the time to resolve to do whatever it takes to keep our country free and independent forever.
Our beloved country did not grow into freedom without struggle. Freedom from the British rule was hard-won and it was the result of the sacrifices made by our freedom fighters. Millions of people sacrificed their lives – many of them were just teenagers when they died. And they gave up their lives for us – so that we can enjoy freedom.
Freedom is precious and every moment of every day our soldiers guard it with their lives. So many soldiers give up their lives every day on the borders of our country to ensure that no one invades and occupies even an inch of our motherland. We the citizens of India lead carefree lives thanks to our brave soldiers.
The Independence day holiday is the time to teach your child all about freedom, independence, our rights as free citizens, our responsibilities as good citizens.
Tell your child about all the things that Indians were not allowed to do when the British ruled us. They will be surprised to know about the restrictions the British had imposed on Indians – because ever since they were born – they have always seen freedom as their birthright.
The National anthem written by Rabindranath Tagore is a profound creation and is one of the most patriotic pieces of poetry ever. Help your child to understand what the song means so that they can feel proud and emotional when the sing it.
Explain what the national flag symbolises – and how we must respect and honour the national flag and stand at attention when it is hoisted. Show them videos in which soldiers hoist the flag on the battle field when they have ousted the enemy from our soil and how they are proud to give up their lives to protect their motherland.
Children can explore a bit on their own and learn about the Indian currency ,take out a few currency notes and see what images are inscribed in it .
Let us spend some time with our children to learn a lesson or two in history about the various invaders who came into our country to conquer us and how they were conquered by the love of the people of our country instead. How they have blended with our culture and the historical monuments that have built in our city or state, their food that has now become every day fare for us etc.
Do your children know that there are various religions that we welcomed into our country over the centuries? How we accommodated everyone, changed a little every time and continued living as one nation? Let us talk to them about the various religions in India and why we call ourselves a secular nation.
Show your child how in each district of each state – we are so different in the way we dress, the way we talk, the food we eat and the customs and traditions we follow and yet how similar we are in spite of all the differences. Teach your child how to wear the dress of the state you belong to. Your child is sure to love dressing up.
Teach your child a song in a regional language. Teach your child the language of the state your ancestors were from. Also teach your child the language spoken in the state you currently live in. Learn a popular song , a rhyme or a bunch of frequently used sentences with your child.
It is important for children to understand that we make our country what it is. We cannot blame anyone else for what is happening in our country because we choose our leaders. Explain how a democracy works and how each vote is powerful and meaningful. Explain how voting is a responsibility and a privilege that we must value and exercise with great reverence.
Rights give us power and with power comes responsibility. We must give back to our country what we get from it by being responsible citizens. By doing our duty towards our country. Teach your child how important it is to abide by the laws of the country not just when there are policemen watching over us and imposing fines – but every day all the time – because we want our country to be a safe and happy place to live in. Obey the traffic rules, do not damage public property, avoid littering, dispose waste responsibly and pay your taxes are some of the things we must teach our children from the time they are born.
It is easy to be disappointed and dejected and give up when things go wrong – but that is not what responsible citizens and patriots do. Teach your child to be proactive. Help your child to believe that no one is too small to bring about a change. Tell your child how in recent times one man working every Sunday manged to clear the whole Versova beach in Mumbai of garbage. Encourage your child to solve problems in the neighbourhood instead of turning a blind eye towards them. Whether it is bad roads, issues with water supply, water logging , potholes or anything else – show your child how to find out how the problem can be solved. Discourage sitting around and complaining.
Our children are the future of our country. Let us work towards empowering our children with the tools they need to build a brighter future.

As the main investor for our family and as a very small business owner, I am appalled by the power and evident ruthlessness of hedge funds.
I totally agree with Jim Cramer's views on naked short selling and up tick rules. I would appreciate the SEC actually talking to Cramer about these rules and getting his help and opinions.....because he represents a very large number of individual investors like we are and has our survival at heart.
Please think of what is best for individual investors like my husband and me, and get control of the market with what is best for the people and not what is best for greed driven hedge funds etc.

Parties are incomplete without cocktails. Any generic alcoholic drink having two or more than two ingredients earns itself the title of a cocktail. Does not matter if you are a professional bartender, or assume the role of one for your house party, you should absolutely be familiar with the nitty-gritty of some drinks. From sweet to dry, hot to icy, stirred to shaken, the number of cocktails available today is overwhelming. Selecting a few out of such a variety available seems tough.
1. MANHATTAN – A cocktail made with whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters, Manhattan is generally served straight up without ice garnished with Maraschino cherry in a cocktail glass. Instead of serving straight up, the drink can also be served on the rocks in a lowball glass. Traditionally made with American rye whiskey, the cocktail finds its origins in Manhattan Club in New York City. Many variations of the drink are available around the globe with some of them even being prepared using Canadian whiskey, blended whiskey or Tennessee whiskey. Closely related to the Brooklyn cocktail, it is one of the six basic drinks listed in the book ‘The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks’. Quite popular the drink is!
2. THE WITTY COMEBACK – This cocktail surely has the most unique name ever! A favorite among the masses preferring drinks with alcohol, The Witty Comeback is prepared using rye whiskey, fresh lemon juice, Averna Amaro, Ginger simple syrup. Garnished with an orange twist, the drink is the perfect example of a house cocktail. The drink is traditionally served in a cocktail glass with or without ice.
3. WHISKEY SOUR – A mixed drink containing whiskey, lemon juice, sugar and a dash of white egg, whiskey sour is a respectable name in the world of cocktails and belongs to the family of citrus-based cocktails. Usually served in a cocktail glass, poured over ice before dinner, the drink has many variants across the globe. The most popular variation is the Ward 8 based on bourbon or rice whiskey. Often garnished with half an orange slice and a maraschino cherry, the drink is an IBA official cocktail.
4. SAZERAC – Next on the list is Sazerac. Prepared using rye whiskey, absinthe, Peychaud’s Bitters, Sazerac is the oldest known American cocktail. Served straight up without ice in an old-fashioned glass after dinner, the drink is a bit spicy due to the addition of different types of bitters. The drink is quite popular due to its method of preparation too! Two glasses are generally used for the preparation. The first one is used to hold absinthe while the rest of the ingredients are mixed in the second glass. The contents of the second glass are later poured into the first. Thus, its preparation is a defining characteristic of Sazerac, unlike other cocktails which are prepared by just mixing all the ingredients in definite proportion using a single container.
5. BOULEVARDIER – A popular cocktail prepared using whiskey, sweet vermouth, and Campari, Boulevardier is similar to Negroni. Garnished with orange peel or cherry, the drink is usually served in an old-fashioned glass. Perfectly suited for a summer day, the cocktail is rich and intriguing. Many variations of the drink are available, the popular ones being Negroni, Dry Negroni, Old Pal, Milano Torino etc.
6. BLOOD AND SAND – As unique as the name is, the Blood and Sand is one of the few classic cocktails prepared using Scotch whiskey! Very few cocktails are prepared using Scotch whiskey out of which ‘Blood and Sand’ is a popular name. The other ingredient being vermouth, the drink is usually served in a cocktail glass or a Collins glass straight up, without ice garnished with Maraschino cherry. Looking like a silent movie sunset, the drink is quite popular among the people fond of Scotch whiskey and is said to have originated in the 1920s. Considered a ‘classic’ in the world of cocktails, the drink is best served with dinner.
7. ROB ROY – Last on the list is the Rob Roy. Created in 1894 by a bartender in the New York City, the drink is prepared using Scotch Whiskey. Quite similar to Manhattan, the only difference lies in the use of Scotch whiskey in its preparation instead of rye. Served on the rocks in a cocktail glass garnished with two Maraschino cherries, the drink can be customized according to your taste. It can be sweet, dry or perfect. The standard, however, is the sweet version.
These were just some of the drinks to try. Many other popular cocktails like ‘Bas Best Old Fashioned’, ‘Citrus – Irish Whiskey Punch’, ‘Rye and Pomegranate Punch’, ‘Espresso Old Fashioned’ and ‘Hard Cider Spritz’ are equally good. Be it a house party, beach party or a night at the pub with your friends, the kind of drink you chose to have either adds more fun or spoils it all.
So roll up your sleeves and collect all the ingredients and prepare these whiskey cocktails for a fun and rocking party!

Kind of a freaky picture of me, but we had to tell you about the newest little shop along Bulldog Avenue -- Pop'nSweets. The name gives it all away -- all they sell here is pop and sweets. And a LOT of it. Rare sodas from all over the place, including my all time favorite ginger beer (super intense!) and even bacon soda (ew!). You can get those sodas chilled or even get them prepared as a float with BYU Creamery ice cream!
In addition to hundreds of sodas, this place has candy bars from all over the world! Mexico, Europe, China, and tons others that I'm sure I am not remembering :) I can see this place becoming super popular with return missionaries who are craving candy from their mission!
I'm not a huge candy person, but obviously we had to try a couple! Let's start with my favorite, the Sour Patch Peaches! Now, everyone knows that the Sour Patch Watermelon are the best candy that you can get out of the BYU vending machines, so I obviously had to try the peaches. Um....why are these not sold everywhere?!?! They were amazing!!!!!!!!!!! So much better than the weird little dudes and even (dare I say it) the watermelons! Its like peach rings with a kick. YUMZ. Next up, Mars bar. Apparently the European Mars bar is basically like a better Milky Way. And it was better. Also a total yum. The Wunderbar, which apparently is the same as the Canadian Starbar, was a chocolate bar with caramel and a crunchy peanut center. It was reminiscent of a Take 5, but without the pretzel, and I kinda liked it! Finally the Hello Panda. They were super adorable, not exactly the tastiest, but still super fun to eat in a eating-panda-heads-kind-of-way.
What You Should Do: If you're a candy-aholic, this is SO the place for you. Obviously its not a place you'd go exclusively for dinner or anything, but I could see it as an excellent place to stop by after nailing it at the Testing Center for a little treat! We didn't try any floats because I wasn't in the mood, but I think its pretty awesome how you can come up with whatever combination float you want! You should definitely stop by and check it out.
I heart egg rolls. These ones were about as good as you could expect -- not outstanding but definitely satisfying. The dipping sauce was tangy and delicious, and they were served hot and crispy. So far, a good start.
Owen got the Mongolian beef, which was super fun with these little crispy white things on top. The meat was super tender and delicious, perfectly cooked, and there was a lot of it! We loved the flavor of the sauce, and the dish as a whole. Yum!
What You Should Do: I don't know...I think Saigon Cafe may be moving up the ranks as my new favorite Chinese restaurant in Utah Valley! I'll have to visit it again to confirm, but it was pretty tasty. It was also a great deal! An appetizer plus two gigantic entrees for around $20 -- not bad. I would definitely recommend Saigon Cafe to anyone looking for excellent Chinese food near BYU.
Food trucks! Fun! I mean, there is just something special about ordering food from something on wheels. So obviously we had to test out one of the most visible food trucks in the Provo area (except Waffle Love...is it worth it? The waffles just seem so expensive!)) -- Sweeto Burrito. Fun name, fun looking truck, and its often at Macey's, which is pretty close to my house so yeah. We went there.
Burritos just do not photograph well.
The pictures are crappy and taken in my car because when its winter time and where else do you eat when you order something from a food truck in 10 degree weather? So I'm just trying to give you all a taste of reality here.
Okay let's start with Owen's burrito -- the original Sweeto Burrito. Obviously we had to try their namesake burrito because it should be one of the best, right? It's kinda similar to the Cafe Rio taco -- its got sweet slow-cooked pork, black beans, lime rice, pepperjack cheese, and a special sauce. Sounds familiar. Anyway, the flavor was pretty good, but it was hard to get into the burrito because the rice was crunchy. Not fully cooked rice is a surefire way to make a burrito pretty undesirable. We kept trying to eat it and then giving up because it's kinda hard to get around that unpleasant texture. I get it that they are working out of a truck. But if you're only doing one thing (burritos), and a lot of burritos on your menu feature the same rice, I would hope it would be fully cooked. Maybe it was just a bad night.
I ordered the Smokehouse Burrito, which has smoked shredded chicken, onion rings, bacon, cheddar cheese and cilantro ranch dressing. As you likely know, I'm a pretty big onion ring fanatic, so the one obviously stood out to me. Sweeto Burrito is definitely a fun place to get crazy combination burritos -- some with tater tots, buffalo chicken, sundried tomato, wonton strips, and a cheeseburger-inspired burrito. But the Smokehouse Burrito just didn't not impress me all that much. The onion rings got a little soggy in the burrito, and the smoked chicken was super dry and in nearly impossible large chunks that were pretty challenging to eat. So much potential, such disappointing execution.
What You Should Do: I really don't want to give up all hope on Sweeto Burrito, since hello, its food from a truck and that is just a lot of fun. I'm really hoping that they will work out the kinks during this slower winter season and that by the time summer hits, they will be pumping out quality, creative and exciting burritos. But for now, there are lots of places to get burritos in Utah County, and I probably wouldn't make this quirky truck a top destination.
Ohhhh....the BYU Cannon Center. I mean, what blog called "Eat BYU" could get away with not talking about one of the most classic university establishments. So many wonderful freshman year memories were made here, not to mention those come by during summer sport camps or Women's Conference. But --- how is the food?
There is no other chocolate milk on this earth that is as worthy of your stomach as this BYU Creamery delight. It is seriously soooo crave-worthy. And at the Cannon Center, you can get as much chocolate milk as you want. It's true. You can put just twenty cups of chocolate milk on your tray and GO FOR IT. There is nothing I miss more from freshman year than this chocolate milk.
Even better when you put the ice cream on top of the waffles, as seen above.
Things you really don't appreciate until you move out of the freshman dorms.
What You Should Do: If you're a freshman who doesn't like to cook and/or likes to eat a lot, you gotta stay in Helaman Halls and get the Cannon Center meal plan. You'll probably get tired of it by the end of the year, but it's pretty great, with an awesome salad bar at every meal, and THE CHOCOLATE MILK! And if you're just in the Provo area, there really is no more quintessential BYU eatery than the Cannon Center, so you have to try it at least once!

(Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed into law a steep tariff on imported solar panels on Tuesday, a move billed as a way to protect American jobs but which the solar industry said would lead to tens of thousands of layoffs.
WHAT IMPACT WILL THE DECISION HAVE ON THE SOLAR INDUSTRY?
Trump has said the tariff will lead to more U.S. manufacturing jobs, by preventing foreign goods that are cheap and often subsidized from undercutting domestic products. He also expects foreign solar panel producers to start manufacturing in the United States.
The main solar industry trade group, the Solar Energy Industries Association, has a different view: it predicts the tariff will put 23,000 people out of work in the panel installation business this year by raising product costs and thus reducing demand.
Research firm Wood Mackenzie estimated that over the next five years the tariffs would reduce U.S. solar installation growth by 10 to 15 percent. The United States is the world’s fourth-largest solar market after China, Japan and Germany.
Research firm CFRA analyst Angelo Zino said he expected any added manufacturing jobs would be “minimal” given the 18 months to two years it takes to build and ramp up a new production facility and the industry’s shift toward automation.
The main beneficiaries of the tariff include U.S.-based solar manufacturers Suniva and SolarWorld.
Suniva filed for bankruptcy in April, days before it filed the petition for trade relief. The Georgia-based company argued it could not compete with the cheap imports that have caused panel prices to fall more than 30 percent since 2016. It was later joined in the petition by SolarWorld. They asked the Trump administration for the equivalent of a 50 percent tariff.
Suniva is majority-owned by Hong Kong-based Shunfeng International Clean Energy, and SolarWorld is the U.S. arm of Germany’s SolarWorld AG.
Most other U.S. solar companies, including SunPower Corp, which manufactures panels in Asia, and residential installer SunRun Inc. were opposed to the trade barrier - as were offshore manufacturers such as China’s JinkoSolar, which will be among the biggest losers.
Solar manufacturer and developer First Solar supported the tariffs, and is likely to be among the biggest beneficiaries. First Solar makes panels using cadmium telluride that are excluded from the trade case. The company has seen an increase in demand for its unique technology.
WILL THE TARIFF LEAD TO A TRADE WAR?
China branded the move an “overreaction” that would harm the global trade environment.
“The U.S.’s decision ... is an abuse of trade remedy measures, and China expresses strong dissatisfaction regarding this,” Wang Hejun, the head of the commerce ministry’s Trade Remedy and Investigation Bureau, said.
If the tariff cools growth in the U.S. solar industry, it could help Trump’s effort to support the coal industry - which competes with renewable energy technologies for a share of the nation’s power generation market.
Trump campaigned on a promise to revive the ailing coal mining sector and boost U.S. production of other fossil fuels as a way to create jobs and bolster American influence overseas.
He has also downplayed the threat from global warming - an issue that led past administrations to throw their support behind emissions-free solar and wind energy development - rolling back climate change regulations and pulling the United States from a global pact to combat it.

P20038290275 The view down to Nigg Ferry from the Sutors of Cromarty. P20038290274 North Sutor.
Description This was an annoyingly frustrating walk, although thankfully there was not too much road walking.
Condition I feel absolutely fine after this walk, and have no significant problems to report. My right foot gave a few twinges during the day, but none of these were long lasting.
Weather Today was another day of sunshine and showers, although thankfully none of the showers were too heavy or prolonged, particularly when compared to yesterday. The day was a bit warmer than yesterday, although it was cold at times when the rain was falling. All in all it was far from perfect, but it could have been far worse.
P20038290276 Looking down over Cromarty from the Sutors of Cromarty. P20038297649 The trig point on Gallow Hill.
P20038297666 Chanonry Point lighthouse. P20038297690 Avoch viewed from Ormond Castle.
I woke up this morning in a good mood, and after watching the news on the television for a few minutes I got down to some work. A couple of cups of coffee helped me to concentrate, and I managed to get a decent amount of work done. I always operate better in the mornings that I do in the evenings, and I much prefer typing notes on my Psion in the mornings when I am fresh that I do in the evenings when I am tired after a long days walk. Because I got lots of work done I could start the walk early with a spring in my step, and I enjoyed the early morning sunshine as I set off through Cromarty.
The path up to the Sutors of Cromarty was of good quality, and despite the steps up the side of the hill I made good time to the top. The view west along the Firth of Cromarty and the moored oil rigs was superb, and I also got some nice views south over the Moray Firth to the Grampian coast. At the top I decided that instead of following the track along the south side of the cliffs I would go to the trig point at the top of Gallow Hill, where the views should be more expansive. When I reached there the views were so good I took a panoramic photograph, which I hope will come out okay.
I then pressed on down the crest of the hill and through the middle of a narrow band of woodland before reaching the valley near St Bennet's Well, where I followed the top of the cliffs southwestwards. Here things started to go slightly wrong. On the map there is a path heading down the hill from the farm at Navity that reached the edge of the cliffs before heading down onto the foreshore, where it can be followed southwestwards all the way to Rosemarkie. I found the place where the track met the clifftop easily, but after five minutes searching I could not find where it headed down the steep cliffs - the whole area was extremely overgrown with brambles, bracken and other vegetation. The cliffs were quiet steep, and as it was so overgrown it was hard to see the exact lie of the land. Because of all this I decided that it was best to try and make my own way down, so I had to follow the edge of the cliffs southwestwards until I met the road near Eathie Mains.
I followed the road southwestwards until I got near to the farm at Balmungie, where a track is shown on the map heading down the cliffs to the foreshore. I went down the track, but again I could not find the point where it dropped down the cliffs. At the point where it is supposed to go down the cliffs appeared to be sheer, and I walked to and fro trying to find the way down. After a few minutes I had not found it, and so I walked southwestwards along the top of the cliffs, climbing over many fences and crossing many fields. The top of the cliffs slowly get lower, until I eventually reached a distinct path below a cottage which I could follow down to the beach and the foreshore on the outskirts of Rosemarkie.
The walk from Rosemarkie to the lighthouse at Chanonry Point took me past a golf course beside the foreshore, and it was nice to be able to rest my legs by walking on a proper path instead of having to climb over fences every hundred yards. The Moray Firth at this point is very narrow, and I could clearly make out the walls of Fort George under a mile away on the southern side of the Firth. I explored the area around the lighthouse for a while before treating myself to an ice cream and heading back off along the path to Fortrose.
Sam was waiting for me by the ruins of the cathedral in Fortrose, which is quite an impressive little ruin Unfortunately we could not go inside the roofless remains as some work was being done, but instead we went into the Royal Hotel for a quick drink. Outside the hotel we met a couple who we had met on Monday afternoon at Portmahomack, which reminds me about quite how far I have walked in the last few days. The pint of Belhaven went down well, and Sam's company helped cheer me up after the rather depressing mornings walk. It is quite annoying that there are many signs showing the paths on the black Isle in the area, but it seems like nothing has been done to make it passable. These paths should make for some great walks if only some work was done on them - perversely they may be much more passable earlier in the year when the vegetation is not so high. The route may also be tidal - the path along the base of the cliffs may not be passable at high tide.
The long road walk southwestwards from Fortrose to Avoch was not very nice as the road was surprisingly busy and it was quite narrow. I was glad when I reached the harbour at Avoch and I could divert away along some minor roads. I had arranged to meet Sam ain Munlochy, but to get there I had to walk around Ormond Hill. As I approached this from the north I could see that it was dominated by the mound of Ormond Castle, of which sadly no stonework remains (the stone was removed for use in the construction of Fort George). The rest of the walk was fairly straightforward, except for five minutes when I hid under some trees during a particularly sharp shower.
I always get slightly guilty about where we park at night. Tonight, being in a church car park, being a classic case. After the three times we have been nastily moved on during this trip we are both paranoid about where we park, and this can rather spoil the evening. Fortunately tonight the local reverend turned up, and he kindly allowed us to stay here, which was very kind as there was not really anywhere else to park.
I am undecided about what I am going to do tomorrow. Sam is going to Edinburgh by train first thing on Monday morning, and on that day I will have to walk from Inverness towards Nairn and Forres. This means that I shall have to end Sunday's walk at Inverness, which is a little over a day's walk away at the pace that I have been going over the last few weeks. I am loathed to do two short days, and so I may do a long day tomorrow, and on Sunday walk into Inverness and then do a circular walk around the town, ending up in the city, and thus extending the walk. This is a shame, but it seems like it will be the best solution. As usual, however, my plans may change!
This walk starts off at a little car park by Shore Street in Cromarty. Head southeastwards along the road through the town until it turns sharply to the right near a cottage. At this bend turn left along a good quality footpath that skirts the foreshore as it heads eastwards before starting to climb uphill using steps before eventually reaching a car park at the Sutors of Cromarty. Instead of heading downhill towards some buildings I turned to the right and went over a gate to reach some old, ruined, military buildings. I then went southwestwards along a broad ridge to reach the trig point on the top of Gallow Hill.
From the top of Gallow Hill I headed southwestwards across fields, skirting the top of a small area of woodland above McFarquhar's Cave and reaching a much larger area of woodland. I found a slight gap in this woodland that allowed me to walk through the middle of it, and hence gain access to the fields on the western side, near a little valley and St Bennet's Well. I then followed the cliffs along for a short distance until I reached a track that leads southeastwards from the farm at Navity. On the map a path leads down to the foreshore here, but I could not find this and so I followed the edge of the cliff along until I reached a road beside a barn.
At the road turn left and follow it southwestwards. It passes a farm at Eathie Mains and climb uphill through some woodland and past a large mast. It slowly descends downhill and leaves the woodland, until just before a track to Hillockhead leaves to the left I turned left down another track that leads past Balmungie towards an area of woodland by a stream. Here again there is meant to be a path leading down the cliffs, and again I could not find it, so I had to follow the edge of the cliffs southwestwards across some fields. The cliffs slowly become lower, and I eventually reached a path that allowed me to access the foreshore immediately to the north of Rosemarkie.
Join the road in Rosemarkie and follow it around past a campsite. When the road curves to the right join a path that heads southeastwards beside the foreshore, passing a golf course before reaching the lighthouse at Chanonry Point. Just before the lighthouse is reached turn right down a track that leads across the narrow peninsular to a car park on the southern side. Turn right and walk along a path beside the golf course until it reaches a campsite and a road. Head westwards along the road as it passes a school and a cathedral until it ends at a T-junction with the A832 road in Fortrose.
Turn left and walk southwestwards along the A832 road for a couple of kilometres until the harbour in Avoch is reached. Immediately past the harbour take a road that leads off to the left and follows the foreshore around into Crosshill. The road then curves up to the right to head uphill past an industrial estate; head up this road and then turn left along a track that leads towards the farm at Castleton. When the track curves to the right to enter the farm turn left down a green track that heads southeastwards towards the mound of Ormond Castle. Follow the track as it enters some forestry and skirts around the southern side of the mound and Ormond Hill. Eventually the track exits the woodland and end at a T-junction with a road.
Turn left along the road and follow it as it becomes a track and passes the entrance to the farm at Ballone and on through some woodland to Bay Farm. It then curves uphill and continues northeastwards before ending at a T-junction with a track. At the junction turn left and follow another track westwards for a few hundred yards until it ends at a wooded area on Ord Hill. At the end of the track turn right and descend northwestwards across a couple of fields to reach the A832 road. Turn left to walk westwards along the A832 road; this was fairly busy so when an old railway embankment became visible on the left I joined this and followed it as it paralleled the road until it ended, dumping me back onto the A832. At the junction with the B9161 road turn left and follow the road through the little village of Munlochy until you reach a left-hand bend; on the far side of this bend is Munlochy Church, where this walk ends.
This makes a total distance of 21.8 miles, with 2625 feet of ascent and 2599 feet of descent.
We spent the night in the car park of the Knockrain Church of Scotland in Munlochy, which was the largest flat place that we could find to park. This was quite handy for the shop and the pub, which was quite nice.

Value (e.g. entry charges/free parking etc).
Upkeep (e.g. litter free/well maintained).
Secure/Feeling safe (e.g. free from anti-social behaviour).
5 = high wellbeing benefit, giving a total mark out of 50. We covert the score out of 50 to an overall percentage ‘Ways to Wellbeing’ Score (max 100%).
Our rating are only a guide to the wellbeing value we see in each park. We know that different people will see (and feel) different things of value in their local parks, and may have a park which is particularly special to them. We believe all parks and green spaces have value, our aim is to get that value recognised, such investment in parks for community ‘health creation’ is sustained.

BLACKBURN will hand the captain’s armband back to Christopher Samba for today’s trip to Sunderland if he is passed fit.
Christopher Samba is battling an ankle injury.
Caretaker-manager Steve Kean took the job from him last weekend because he said that he wanted to leave Ewood Park.
But the pair have had clear-the-air talks and Kean is confident that Samba, 26, is happy to stay and will skipper the side if he can overcome an ankle problem.
Kean said: “The way he explained it to me was really good because he said, ‘I’ve never asked to leave. All I said was that if a big club comes in then I would consider it’.
“I’ve tried to stress to him that I’m trying to build a team that would get us into the top half. Then I want to build a team that can get into the top six. As soon as he heard that, he was more positive.
Kean will leave the fitness test as late as possible. If Samba fails to make it, eight players will miss the match through injury or suspension.
Australian Brett Emerton plays his last game before a month away at the Asia Cup.
Kean confirmed he will be active in this transfer window, handing a list of targets to the club’s owners yesterday with more than a dozen names on it.

Although you can swim in this pool, there are no lane ropes and it has a built in bar where you can sip coconut water through a straw while emerssed in the cool waters so it’s more a chill out rather than a thrash it out pool!
The pools are open throughout the day and you are welcome to borrow a range of equipment including Pull Buoys, Hand Boards and Padels. It’s not just for adults though, kiddies can jump in for either a skills lesson or a splash in the hotel pool.
Both individual guests and groups can benefit from the great coaching expertise available at Thanyapura whether they are learning to swim or doing triathlon training. There are a lot of awesome swimmers and coaches at Thanyapura but the 2 main coaches on site are…….
Head Coach Miguel Lopez Alvarado, from the Spanish Canary Islands, has more than 20 years experience as a swimming coach at the elite level as he’s steered able-bodied and disabled swimmers to great heights.
His former students include three-time triathlon world champion and Olympic silver medalist Javier Gomez, arguably the best swimmer in triathlon history.
He also coached three swimmers to Paralympic success: Pablo Cimadevila Alvarez, Sebastian Rodriguez and Pablo Saavedra Reinaldo all broke world records while training with him. More recently he coached London Olympics semi-finalist Beatriz Gomez Cortez.
With an extensive swim teaching and coaching background in the Netherlands, Marianne inspires with her fun and dynamic coaching style. Her attention to detail and focus on technique has been developed through KNZB swimming trainer level A and B coaching accreditation’s and degree in Sport Management and Entrepreneurship. Marianne previously worked on the 2013 EYOF (European Youth Olympic Foundation) Organization Committee.
If you have never learned how to swim breaststroke, front crawl or butterfly, your swimming instructor can teach you the technique and give you tips to improve as you train.
The instructors also have various methods for coaching more advanced swimmers, pinpointing problem areas, and giving advice on how to correct their style. This includes fancy underwater videoing which can then be analysed in the sports lab with you later that day!
If you don’t fancy one on one coaching but just wanna jump into a session and smash out a few km’s then there are masters swim session avalaible daily. Believe me they are flipping hard work but jeeze you feel like you have achieved something when you hop out at the end!
For those who come for triathlon training, Thanyapura also offers open water swimming sessions. These are based at Laguna Phuket the home of the Laguna Phuket traithlon festival and only a 10minute drive away.
The water is so warm, so clean and so clear that unless you want to become a boil in the bag human, a wetsuit is 100% not required!
It’s pretty easy swimming too, ok there are a couple of semi big breakers to dive through or float over the top of but once your over them it is easy peasy. There are no nasty rips either so it is very safe!
On a sidenote and what I really enjoyed about swimming at Thanyapura was the either swimming into the sunset and watching the fading light dance over the pool and hearing the jungle noises come to life or swimming in the dark (it gets dark about 6:30pm) with the comapany of just the pool spot lights, it was just beautiful and awesome! Waaaaayyyy better than just following a black line in the pool!
As you can imagine with such awesome coaches and amazing fasciltites the pools get very well used therefore it is worth checking out the timetable put up daily on the notice board before you grab your swim wear or even book in advance to ensure lane space.
An example of the extensive swimming program calendar can be found here.
These timetables change regularly and because Thanyapura’s facilities are sooooooooo good sometimes Olympic swim teams from around the world come to play. These crazy guys and girls swim 2-3 x a day! Ouch! So sometimes pool times can be restricted especially early morning or late evening. Even if you can’t get into the pool it is worth just sitting in the grand stand and watching the pros effortlessly punch out lap after lap in times I could only dream of!
So there you have it. Come and eat, sleep and swim like a pro at Thanyapura! It will be the best thing you do if you wanna get stronger, swim faster and generally have a pretty awesome time!

This morning, I decided in a moment of wild abandon to wear my hair down. Of course, in its natural state, my hair looks an awful lot like I’m related to a Shetland pony – frizzy and sticking out at odd angles. So I fired up my curling iron and tried to make it at least frizz, you know, in a controlled fashion.
And then, having spent “all that time” on it, I decided I should probably hit it with a little hairspray. Might even help make it look a little less frizzy, right?
I get out the hairspray, blow the dust off the bottle, aim it at my head and start depressing the plunger.
I push the button a few more times. Nada. Not even a sense that hairspray is thinking about moving into the little straw on its way to my head. It isn’t working. It appears to be broken.
What the heck? This is a pretty low-tech deal here - how can it be broken? This bears further investigation!
So I look directly at the sprayer and firmly squeeze the trigger one more time.
Y’all know what happened next, right?
A lovely thick mist of hairspray, right in the eyeballs.
Ha, ha, ha. Very funny, you two.

The CMA CGM Group has completed its bid to acquire CEVA Logistics, following the close of the public tender offer launched on February 12, 2019.
According to CMA CGM, it will hold 97.89% of the outstanding shares and voting rights of CEVA upon settlement of the tendered CEVA shares, scheduled for April 16, 2019.
CMA CGM plans to delist CEVA from the SIX Swiss Exchange.
With a presence in 160 countries, 110,000 employees and revenues of more than US$30 billion, the CMA CGM Group will offer a comprehensive range of solutions across the supply chain, including LCL, air freight, purchase order management, contract logistics and customs clearance.
CEVA’s new strategic plan has been prepared jointly with CMA CGM. A new CEVA operational centre will be set up in Marseilles to bring together the management teams and support functions of the two companies.
This consolidation will enable the deployment of a coordinated set of structural initiatives such as investing in information systems and digital technology to improve productivity; refocusing local teams on customer service; achieving a more balanced customer segmentation; streamlining the corporate organization and harmonizing processes; as well as implementing more targeted and customer-focused communication, according to CMA CGM.

Doha, April 30, 2017 (Gulf Intelligence) – Sir Mark Moody-Stuart, who is Chairman of the United Nations Global Compact Foundation and Vice Chairman of the UN Global Compact, will be this year’s recipient of The Honorary Lifetime Achievement Award for the Advancement of International Energy Policy & Diplomacy presented by the Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Attiyah International Foundation for Energy & Sustainable Development.
The Al-Attiyah Foundation bestows one Honorary Award each year to an outstanding global energy leader, and the 2017 accolade will be presented at the 5th Anniversary Gala Dinner event in Doha on May 8th to Sir Mark, who worked with the Royal Dutch/Shell Group for some 40 years after securing his Ph.D. in Geology from Cambridge in 1966, including holding the post of Chairman from 1998-2001. Also Formerly Chairman of Anglo American plc, Sir Mark is currently Director of HSBC Holdings PLC, Accenture Ltd, and Saudi Aramco.
“Sir Mark has been an inspirational figure throughout his 50-year career, but it is perhaps his contribution over the last 15 years since stepping down as head of Shell that defines the unique qualities of the man as he has put his weight behind many important social causes,” said H.E. Abdullah Bin Hamad Al-Attiyah. For instance, Mr. Moody-Stuart is Chairman of the Innovative Vector Control Consortium for combating insect-borne diseases and other notable causes.
The Abdullah Bin Hamad Al-Attiyah International Energy Award is the foremost global honor to recognize individuals for their lifetime achievement in the advancement of the energy sector. There are a further six award categories of recognition each year for the advancement of the Qatar Energy Industry; OPEC; Renewable Energy; Producer-Consumer Dialogue; Education; and Energy Journalism – with the nominees reviewed by an International Selection Committee.
As Chairman of the Foundation for the Global Compact and Vice Chair of the Global Compact Board, Sir Mark has long helped to provide strategic direction to the UN Global Compact, the world's largest corporate responsibility and sustainability initiative, and to champion its initiatives globally.
“Sir Mark reflects on the big issues of our time – climate change, corruption, globalization, poverty and the financial crisis – through the lens of having lived, considered and acted on how corporations should be led in the twenty-first century,” Georg Kell, the founder and former Executive Director of the United Nations Global Compact, said at the launch of Sir Mark’s book “Responsible Leadership: Lessons From the Front Line of Sustainability and Ethics”.
H.E. Ali Al-Naimi, the former oil minister of Saudi Arabia and Christophe de Margerie, the late chief executive of Total, were the 2016 and 2015 beneficiaries respectively of this Honorary Award for the Advancement of International Energy Policy & Diplomacy, which is only category to be selected each year by the Foundation’s Board of Trustees.

My brother is now a fairly long time Mac-user. I haven’t gone down that road (yet). Last night he was here and i showed him my Asus EEE (which is currently running Ubuntu 8.10).
“Cool” – he said. “It supports two-finger-scrolling”. I didn’t know, but he is right. Googling for it found me this. Apparently the touchpad is new enough in the Asus EEE to support two finger scrolling. Nice to find hidden coolness.

Theodore R P Mendez (1934-1997) was an English abstract artist who taught at Camberwell College of Arts in London for over thirty years. After attending Strand School, he entered Camberwell College of Arts in 1950 as a student, where his contemporaries included Terry Frost, Howard Hodgkin, Euan Uglow, Roy Turner Durrant, Bernard Dunstan and Gillian Ayres. He returned as a teacher and from 1976-1984 was head of the Textile Department.
Writing about his work in 1990, he confided, "My recent work is no way representational or literal...The works are sometimes symbolic of a moment in time - an event or place witnessed, felt or experienced.. The work I do is made up - invented - stimulated by life-enhancing experience... Each work has ultimately to stand by itself without necessarily being part of a series or having a title or clue as to its origin... I love the variety of the medium, the spreading of colour and the inter relation of colour and colour areas... sometimes the work comes almost directly via music, which I listen to constantly - several hours every day - like food and drink, it is essential... if I achieve anything at all, it has, for me, to satisfy [a need for] lasting contemplation - mystical, intangible.."
His first exhibition was at the Redfern Gallery in London in 1954; he would later show his textile designs at the Victoria & Albert Museum in 1956 and in the same year won the Design Award at the Manchester Colour, Design & Style Centre. Mendez returned to the Camberwell College of Arts in 1958, which was the year when Frank Auerbach began his time on the staff. Mendez continued to teach full-time, and was Head of the Textile Department from 1976 until his retirement in 1984, which was precipitated by his feeling that the re-organization of London art colleges at that moment would erode the intimate values upon which he believed artistic creation was predicated. He exhibited less in his later years, preferring to concentrate on teaching, and in retirement, intensive painting. His creative output did not diminish, and his paintings were hung alongside such acknowledged modernists as David Hockney, Patrick Caulfield, Patrick Heron and Roger Hilton, especially at two exhibitions at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool in 1972 & 1978. Since his death there have been six London exhibitions, and his works are in The Museum of London and private collections in France, Australia, New Zealand, America and Great Britain. His work is mainly abstract and often based on urban landscapes, cosmopolitan emblems such as Parisian cafes or Argentinian tangos, and is suffused with a sense of music, especially jazz. There are countless highly literate references to the history of art, and in this sense he was arguably one of the earliest post-modernists, perhaps without fully being aware of it. He worked with oil, acrylic and collage on canvas, wood and cardboard. He also made constructions in wood and metal, and even painted a few touching, almost expressionistic landscape canvases on rare occasions of lyrical outburst.

You see a demon outcast.
Back in the evil business!
This prison break will have casualties!
No one will imprison me again!
A demon outcast never retreats.
These are the most common creatures inside the Roshamuul Prison, so special attention must be paid at them. Their summons are more annoying than dangerous. When hunting in teams, the blockers should throw a Poison Bomb Rune under their feet in order to avoid the Energy Elementals from getting close and taking the spot of other stronger creatures.
When facing them solo, low level paladins can run around energy walls. Mages should shall use their strongest ice and energy attacks to take down this creature.

From Varney the Vampire; or, The Feast of Blood, by James Malcolm Rymer. 1847. E. Lloyd, London.
Through narratives, films, and photographs from the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries, in this first year seminar students identify, think about, write critically about, and discuss how monster narratives are constructed as stories with plots and characters; what monsters have in common across time and cultures; how monsters express the concerns, hopes, pressing questions, and anxieties of their contemporary societies; how monsters throw into relief what we consider “normal”; and how monsters remind us of what it means to be human. As such, students also examine interconnections between Victorian monsters and culture by considering some of the major issues of both the nineteenth century and our own time: science and evolution, industrialization and commercialism, women’s rights and domesticity, race and empire, fashion and image, as well as aesthetics and criticism. Throughout the semester, students simultaneously discuss our modern-day views of Victorian monsters through the medium of our own popular culture, examining contemporary films and photographs about Victorian monstrosity. Oftentimes, the course includes a field trip to DC to visit the National Gallery and the Library of Congress—archives that each hold “monstrous” literature and art within their collections.

Ezra Klein is one of the country's leading experts on health care. Megan McArdle is a respected blogger and thinker on economics. So when the Washington Post blogger and Atlantic editor lock horns, the debate is highfalutin and heavy on facts.
Even a rough approximation of how many people die because of lack of health insurance is hard to reach. Quite possibly, lack of health insurance has no more impact on your health than lack of flood insurance.
At its base, [McArdle's column] takes a methodological difficulty (it's hard to measure mortality) and blows it into something approximating a conclusion (insurance coverage has no effect on mortality). It gives an accurate impression of one of the problems bedeviling efforts to answer this question, but an inaccurate impression of the conclusions the best researchers draw from the best research.
I have not asserted that insuring the uninsured wouldn't save anyone's lives, so I don't know why they're making this argument while linking to me. What I said is, the studies so far done often cannot exclude the possibility that there is no effect.
What we're really left with is a sudden skepticism of health-care coverage being made by people with health-care insurance who believe in medical technology and who are using methodological difficulties to argue against the value of an expansion of health-care insurance to the poor--who, for that matter, appear to be helped more by health-care insurance than the rich.
At bottom, McCardle suggests that health is not crucially affected by the access to health care that insurance provides. I doubt that many of us fortunate enough to have health insurance would drop coverage based on the strength of her arguments.
As of yet, McArdle has not offered a rejoinder.

October 20, 2011 // Franchising.com // Asheville, NC – Volvo Rents announces the acquisition of Papé Rents, a single location construction equipment rental company located at 3820 E. Winslow Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona.
Anchored by an increase in local construction spending that is projected to total more than $44 billion in the Phoenix-Mesa-Glendale marketplace between 2012 and 2016, Volvo Rents is looking to grab a bigger piece of the construction equipment rental pie that is currently up for grabs in the region. To capitalize on the economic upturn, Volvo Rents is embarking on a new course -- growing a network of company-owned stores.
The acquisition marks the fifth Volvo Rents store in Arizona and first in Phoenix. The other rental centers are located in Eloy, Miami, Thatcher and Tucson.
“We are able to add Don Myrick and his top-notch staff to the Volvo Rents Team, which was the real key in this acquisition,” said Mike Crouch, Vice President of Business Development for Volvo Rents. “Our strong brand recognition, coupled with the growing demand for construction equipment rental, allows us to look to the future with great enthusiasm” Crouch continued.
In addition to Volvo Rents’ expanding line of Volvo compact equipment – such as backhoe and skid steer loaders, compact wheel loaders, compact excavators and compaction equipment – the rental centers carry a comprehensive line of essential equipment and tools for the construction, commercial, industrial and homeowner markets. The focus is on daily, weekly and monthly rentals.
Although the store’s hours will be Monday-Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., the company offers 24-hour service, every day of the week.
Volvo Rents of Phoenix can be reached by calling (602) 454-7368.
Volvo Rents, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Volvo Group, operates 70 rental stores in North America. The company operates a network of company-owned rental stores and franchised rental stores in North America. Each of the North American rental centers offers a comprehensive line of essential equipment for the construction, commercial and industrial markets, as well as an extensive line of Volvo compact excavators, compactors, wheel loaders, backhoe loaders, compaction equipment, and skid steer loaders.

EARLIER this year we explained why VMware’s acquisition of Zimbra has poor signs of commitment [1, 2]. For starters, VMware’s parent company is helping Microsoft Exchange/Outlook, which is Zimbra’s direct rival (Zimbra is often the ‘missing piece’ to OpenOffice.org users who need mail and calendaring). Having essentially hijacked Yahoo! (more executives are still abandoning, only to be replaced by former Microsoft staff) Microsoft saw Zimbra being passed from Yahoo! to the Microsoft executives who run VMware after EMC’s intervention. How much did that cost VMware? Not much, based on the numbers which have just come out.
Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) made about $100 million on the sale of its Zimbra enterprise e-mail and communications platform to VMWare in January; the companies had declined to release financial terms when the sale was initially announced but in its just-filed 10-Q Yahoo says it recorded “net proceeds” of $100 million and a “pre-tax gain” of $66 million on the sale.
With calls growing for the FTC to look into Facebook’s privacy practices, the social network has now enlisted a former FTC chairman to make its case.
This makes the FTC look like more of a farce with conflicting interests.
Earlier this week we mentioned how Facebook was helping Microsoft hold its users’ personal data hostage (using Microsoft’s online office suite), which is probably all that Microsoft has left now that its biggest cash cow (Office) suffers a decline, partly due to an exodus to Google, not just Free software like OpenOffice.org.
Watch how Microsoft suppresses the use of GNU/Linux using its Web-based office suite.
Still, it seems to me that this licensing requirement will inhibit organisations from taking full advantage of what the Office Web Apps can do. The advantage of a web-based solution is that anyone can access it, both within an organisation, and beyond it if you choose to publish it on the Internet. I doubt there will be much enthusiasm for buying Office licenses for Linux users, though maybe the kind of organisation that has a full Microsoft-platform deployment does not have internal Linux users anyway.
