Amazon jungle lodges cater to all sorts of travelers' expectations about the rainforest: bountiful fishing, waking up to the chattering of monkeys, enjoying the vibrating silence of rainforest nights, having some contact with indigenous peoples.
Although the deepest realms of the Amazon Rainforest lay beyond the limits of jungle lodges still, some of the tours provided by the lodges will give you a further glimpse into forest life. Checking what kind of tours each lodge has to offer (and how much more you might have to pay for them) is an important thing to do before you choose an Amazon jungle lodge.
Canoe tours in igarapés, the Amazon's narrow meandering waterways, are an example of what you can do to have closer encounters with wildlife, especially birds and monkeys.
Hopefully, you'll see pink botos, or Amazon river dolphins, perhaps on a boat tour of the meeting of the | waters. Maybe you'll go swimming with the dolphins.
Focagem de jacarés, or alligator spotlighting – when the animals are stunned by a powerful flashlight (known as silibim) and the guide will grab small caimans and practically place them on your lap – is another typical jungle lodge experience which gives tourists a feel for rainforest life, minus big risks.
The list below is a quick-reference roundup of Amazon jungle lodges. All meals and transfers from Manaus are usually included in | [

Response to the upload by "MPNiea" yesterday, titled Democrat-Supporters Douse Republican Delegates With Blinding Bleach.
Several commenters expressed disbelief that bleach was thrown since it wasn't shown on video, and accused Fox News of fabricating the story. I'm not a big fan of Fox, but people really should investigate before making such idiotic claims. It only takes ten seconds of your time and the use of any search engine.
The anarchists threw not only bleach, but urine and feces too, plus committed numerous other violent crimes. At least one person was arrested for possessing explosives with intent to bomb tunnels underneath the convention site.
Here are some non-Fox News sources confirming what happened.

of lakes dot the marshy Arctic tundra regions. Now, in the latest addition to
the growing body of evidence that global warming is significantly affecting
the Arctic, two recent studies suggest that thawing permafrost is the cause
of two seemingly contradictory observations both rapidly growing and
rapidly shrinking lakes.
Thawing permafrost is altering the lakes that dominate Arctic landscapes, such as this one in western Siberia. Courtesy of Laurence C. Smith.
The first study is a historical analysis of changes to 10,000 Siberian lakes over the past 30 years, a period of warming air and soil temperatures. Using satellite images, Laurence Smith, a geographer at the University of California, Los Angeles, and colleagues found that, since the early 1970s, 125 Siberian lakes vanished completely, and those that remain averaged a 6 percent loss in surface area, a total of 930 square kilometers.
They report in the June 3 Science that the spatial pattern of lake disappearance suggests that the lakes drained away when the permafrost below them thawed, allowing the lake water to seep | down into the groundwater. However, the team also found that lakes in northwestern Siberia actually grew by 12 percent, and 50 new lakes formed. Both of the rapid changes are due to warming, they say, and if the warming trend continues, the northern lakes will eventually shrink as well.
These two processes are similar, in that were witnessing permafrost degradation in both regions, says co-author Larry Hinzman, a hydrologist at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks, who in previous studies documented shrinking lakes in southern Alaska. In the warmer, southern areas | [

Summer Skiing on the 4th of July | UNITED STATES, CALIFORNIA | 07/24/2009, by BrennanLagasse
North Peak was on the agenda for Jeff, Jeremy and I to finish out a great season in the Sierra. Although the Peaks' three couloirs can be skied at any point in the winter, access is brutal. Several miles on the approach deter many from making this winter slog, and because the trailhead is so high, the road to Saddlebag Lake lies hidden under several feet of snow usually well into June. But if you're patient and wait for the road to clear, and the boat taxi to run-yes I did say boat taxi-then your approach to North Peak becomes much more manageable.
While July 4th is always a good time to get out of Tahoe, due to the rampant onslaught of firework junkies and professional booze hounds, North Peak is known for its ability to deliver high quality skiing well beyond the 4th.

Whither the optical drive? Apple has introduced the high-speed Thunderbolt port and a welcome CPU update to its latest iteration of the Mac Mini desktop, but the absent DVD burner in the newest model may stall purchases from those who like the Mac Mini chiefly as a home theater PC. While most software, and many movies are available for direct download, this move effectively out-modes the DVD collection of anyone interested in using the new Mac Mini in the living room.
For those who want to use the Mac Mini as a more traditional computer, the new software and hardware features will have more appeal. Buyers should welcome the update to Apple's new, well-reviewed OS X Lion operating system. The new, second-generation Intel Core i5 and Core i7 CPU updates should also help the Mac Mini stay competitive in terms of performance.
The benefits of the Mac Mini's new Thunderbolt port will be less obvious to consumers. Apple's new Thunderbolt Display can of course take advantage of the new port, but other Thunderbolt devices | are either more specialized, like the $2,000 2TB Pegasus RAID array, or have yet to materialize. The updated $999 server edition of the Mac Mini fits logically with products like the Pegasus array. Buyers of the standard Mac Minis may have a harder time putting Thunderbolt to immediate use, but they can at least be thankful that Apple didn't add Thunderbolt at the expense of the HDMI port.

- Partielle Differentialgleichung (1) (remove)
- Shape Calculus Applied to Elliptic Optimal Control Problems (2012)
- This thesis is devoted to the analysis of a very simple, pointwisely state-constrained optimal control problem of an elliptic partial differential equation. The transfer of an idea from the field of optimal control of ordinary differential equations, which proved fruitful with respect to both theoretical treatment and design of algorithms, is the starting point. On this, the state inequality constraint, which is regarded as an equation inside the active set, is differentiated in order to obtain a control law. A geometrical splitting of the constraints is necessary to carry over this approach to the chosen model problem. The associated assertions are rigorously | ensured. The subsequent derivation of a control law in the sense of the abovementioned idea yields an equivalent reformulation of the model problem. The active set appears as an independent and equal optimization variable in this new formulation. Thereby a new class of optimization problem is established, which forms a hybrid of optimal control and shape-/topology optimization: set optimal control. This class is integrated into the very abstract framework of optimization on vector | [

There are several problems with TE modules used in waste heat recovery applications. First, the TE modules themselves are not very efficient; although some heat energy gets converted into electricity, still much of it is wasted. The next problems have to do with construction of the module itself and durability in its desired environment. Inside a TE module, semiconductors are soldered in series to copper pads to conduct the electricity. They are limited by temperature; in many situations where waste heat recovery would be the most desirable, higher temperatures exist than the melting point of the solder used to hold the modules together. The modules would literally melt and fall apart. Another problem has to do with the coefficient of thermal expansion ( | CTE). When the module is heated, brittle intermetallics form due to the diffusion of Ni (the coating) into the substrate (Bi2TE3). The CTE of the newly formed Ni2Te3 is drastically different from the CTE of the surrounding materials. It is easy to see how the shear stresses at the interface generated by high or cyclic temperatures would have a tendency to crack the brittle intermetallic that forms in the modules. See project | [

Disease burden and surveillance
A critical tool in determining the most efficient strategy for fighting specific illnesses is disease burden data. This information can provide governments, nongovernmental organizations, funders, and other stakeholders with a sense of which diseases are affecting a population, how many people are affected by a particular disease, and where funding may be most needed.

- Nour’s husband returned to Lebanon after two years of working abroad a changed person. The man she had loved was distant, cold and uncommunicative. Then, two weeks after his homecoming, he attacked Nour while she slept, raping her with such ferocity that he caused a fissure.
“When he finished I felt something coming out of me,” she says. As she writhed on the floor in agony, her husband looked on in silence. “After an hour he took me to a doctor. The doctor is his friend and refused to examine me. He prescribed me medication for the bleeding, which took three days to stop.”
It took Nour a week to recover but the psychological pain remains. “He killed my spirit, my body and my femininity,” she says quietly.
In an effort to protect women like Nour from abusive partners, a coalition of civil society organisations has spent the last five | years drafting a law criminalising mental, physical and sexual abuse. The bill was approved by the Council of Ministers in April 2010 and is expected to be passed by parliament within the coming days. However, campaigners warn that the parliamentary committee tasked with overseeing the law has made so many amendments that they have rendered it useless.
The law, as drafted by the coalition, would have appointed public prosecutors to investigate incidences of violence, established special units within the Lebanese police force to respond to family violence cases, | [

D. Tax wedge for families with children
The OECD average tax wedge for a one earner couple with two children was 26.1% of the total labour cost in 2012. This figure was 9.5 percentage points lower than the one observed for the individual without children (please click on the link "Comparison of total tax wedge by family type"). In fact, many OECD countries provide a fiscal benefit to the former through advantageous tax treatment and/or cash transfers.

Senator DANIEL O. HASTINGS, remark in the Senate on the power to be given President Franklin D. Roosevelt by the proposed work-relief program, March 23, 1935. Hastings said the bill as passed by the House was remarkable in two ways. First, the huge amount involved, it being probably the largest appropriation ever made by any legislative body.

Cain Accuser Says She Didn't Want Controversy
A few of the developments since our last post about the sexual harassment allegations against Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain — who calls them "false, anonymous, incorrect accusations":

Brad Scott set to sign new deal as Kangaroos secure future and take pressure off tough draw
- Herald Sun
- February 17, 2013
North Melbourne are poised to announce an extension to coach Brad Scott's contract, underpinning him as the man they believe will lead the club to another flag.
It is understood the Kangaroos reached an agreement with Scott on a new deal late last year after he led the club to its first finals series since 2008.
Scott was about to enter the final year of his contract, but the club always intended to lock him away | before the start of the 2013 season.
The Kangaroos would not comment when asked about the new deal or its length, but it is believed it has committed to Scott until the end of 2015.
There is a chance the club could announce details of the contract extension at some stage this week in the lead-up to North Melbourne's first NAB Cup matches against Richmond and Melbourne on Friday.
The decision to act swiftly and re-contract Scott ahead of the last year of his contract would take any heat off the coach and the club if the Kangaroos make a | [

The Samsung Galaxy S3, to no surprise, has performed above and beyond Samsung's original expectations, selling more than 10 million units since its unveiling in May.
J.K. Shin, an executive in the company, confirmed that Samsung reached this milestone in a statement made earlier this week.
"Shin Jong-kyun, the president of Samsung's information technology and mobile communications division, told reporters that the phone has become a 10-million seller after it was first unveiled in May 29 in London," he said.
"He, however, did not give exact numbers. This translates into about 190,000 Galaxy S3s being sold every day, and easily ahead of its very popular predecessor, the Galaxy S2, that reported sales hitting 10 million five months after it reach consumers," added the Samsung executive.
The company has accomplished a great feat by selling this many units in such a short window of time. And with such a large amount of people purchasing this device, many consumers will be locked into new contracts which could in turn hinder them from picking up the new iPhone when it launches later this year.
However, | Samsung is not quite there yet, in terms of competing with iPhone sales. In this past quarter, Apple sold 35 million iPhones. These figures include older models such as the iPhone 4 and 3GS. In order to reach numbers that high in one quarter, Apple has to sell around 388,000 iPhones per day.

A federal roundup of wild horses in Nevada was scheduled to resume Thursday and to continue through this weekend despite nearly two dozen animal deaths since it began.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) says three of the deaths were due to injury and 18 due to severe dehydration following a drought.
Horse activist Laura Leigh, whose lawsuit put a temporary halt to the roundup July 14, blames the deaths on the BLM, which she says allowed the horses to become dehydrated and held the roundup during the hottest season of the year.
"This is foaling season, it could have been done earlier, it could be done last fall," Leigh says. "This is not following the mandate | to manage and protect our horses. It's just wrong."
She and other activists also complain that the BLM has blocked them from observing the roundups to control the flow of images and public opinion.

Carl Paladino was the 2010 Republican candidate for governor of New York, but now the tea party activist is not even welcome at a Buffalo School Board meeting.
On Wednesday, the former candidate found himself being escorted from a school board meeting by security guards after he began ranting about how badly board members had handled a sewage problem at Math Science Technology Prep in Seneca.
"In a couple months the ground rules are going to change here, that kind of nonsense isn’t going to happen," Paladino promised the board, according to The Buffalo News. “Six weeks. I would’ve fired [Joseph P. Giusiana, head of plant services] after the first week. He can’t fix a sewer line leak because he’s in bed with Ciminelli?”
LP Ciminelli is a contractor working on a $1 billion project to make schools in the district more energy efficient.

As a result, the defense rested Wednesday and the jury will return Friday for closing arguments and legal instructions before they begin deliberating. The jury must decide whether the 56-year-old justice and her sister and aide, Janine Orie, 58, conspired to misuse state-paid employees for campaign work when Melvin, then a Superior Court judge, ran for the Supreme Court in 2003 and 2009.
Melvin's attorneys declined to comment on the decision not to call her as a witness. But it was apparently made at the last minute, as Janine Orie's attorney James DePasquale had told The Associated Press before Wednesday's luncheon recess that Melvin planned to take the stand, but that Janine Orie would not.
The attorneys will meet with the judge Thursday for routine motions, but there will be no testimony as Allegheny County Deputy District Attorney Lawrence Claus decided against calling rebuttal witnesses.
Melvin and her sister are charged with conspiring to misuse the judge's state-paid former Superior Court staff—which Orie helped manage—and conspiring with a third sister, former Sen. Jane Orie, to similarly misuse state-paid Senate staffers to campaign for Melvin, too. | The former lawmaker is serving 2 1/2 to 10 years in prison for using her state-paid staff on her own campaigns but was acquitted last year of

Two more cops held for Ishrat encounter
On Friday, the CBI had arrested retired DSP J G Parmar, who lodged an FIR with the Ahmedabad Crime Branch in the case in 2004 alleging that Ishrat and the three others killed with her were terrorists.
Barot and Vaghela were already in judicial custody in the Sadiq Jamal encounter case. Barot is among those policemen who was known as Gujarat’s “encounter specialist”. He had fired some six rounds on the alleged terrorists in this case.
The Detention of Crime Branch had come up with an intelligence input saying that Ishrat Jahan, her friends Javed Sheikh alias Pranesh Pillia, Amjad Ali Rana and Jishan Johar were Lashkar operatives who were on a mission to kill Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
However, the Gujarat HC-appointed Special Investigation Team, after a detailed forensic examinations, found the case flawed. Ishrat and the three others were gunned down on June 15, 2004 by a crime branch team led by then ACP Girish Singhal, who had been arrested Thursday.

The influx of railway workers to the suburb would have the primarily pastoral land divided into small worker cottages and terraces and cemented the working class profile of the suburb.

Special anthems needed for non-Muslims if ‘Allah’ banned, says former Mufti

Friday Night Play Reading Series: "Laughter on the 23rd Floor"
By Neil Simon
From the writer of "The Odd Couple," "Biloxi Blues," and "Brighton Beach Memoirs," this play was inspired by the playwright's youthful experience as a staff writer on Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows, with all the attendant comic drama as the | harried writing staff frantically scrambles to top each other with gags while competing for the attention of star madman "Max Prince."

TV star Louis visits us, to make a documentary about Straight Hell…
Ever seen one of those documentaries about sex and porn? Friendly chats, wide-eyed questions, the subjects think it’s all going their way… until they end up looking like prime in the edit.
Kink and nudity mean some cheap thrills for the viewers, boosting the ratings nice and high. And smug TV presenters like Louis are laughing all the way to the bank.
Louis thinks we’re going to be next on his list of fame-hungry subjects to exploit in a documentary. He’s arranged to spend the day at our studio watching the making of one of our ‘fetish movies’.
But what he doesn’t know is that he’s going to be the one being exploited in a movie today.
Louis is taken too far as we cut his pants off, peg his balls up, and beat his arse until he’s forced to suck our cocks.
Documentary makers like Louis always want to get involved, make it look like they’re truly interested in the subject of the film.
“Could I be a fetish model, do you think?” Louis asks | us, as he shows us his surprisingly muscular body and poses on the spanking bench, having let us strap him down. “If I were one of your models, what would you do now?”
I answer him by flogging his tight bubble butt, invitingly sticking up in the air, totally vulnerable. Louis gasps, shocked at the liberties I’m taking | [

It has been decided by Congress to make changes and reduce availability of Federal Pell Grants for thousands of underprivileged college students, causing their education plans to prolong or deteriorate completely.
Federal Pell Grants, unlike loans, which do not have to be repaid, are education aid provided to disadvantaged students and undergraduate low income students.
Currently, an independent student or one belonging to a family of four members accumulating $30,000 or less annual income automatically is eligible for the maximum Pell Grant award, $5,550 at 12 units.
However, the Auto-Zero EFC—expected family contribution—Threshold is making a drastic change lowering the eligibility annual income to $23,000.

A while back I went to a generic spin class at my gym. Here’s the rundown of that class:
-Go to gym.
-Get on bike. Slide shoes into little cages at the top of pedals.
-Wonder if bike seat is supposed to hurt so bad. Begin to pedal.
-Stare at instructor’s unavoidable cleavage as she leans over the handles.
-Turn little knob to increase resistance. Did I turn it enough? Maybe. Who knows.
-Seriously, this instructor needs a more effective bra.
-Pretty sure my butt is horribly bruised now. Sexy fail.
Basically, spin class at my gym was boring and painful. Not painful in that “feel the burn” way either— just flat out painful. My butt was, in fact | , horribly bruised, and remained that way for a week.
So when a Flywheel opened up in Atlanta, I wasn’t especially interested at first— I figured that spin class just wasn’t my thing. But…they offer the first class free. And the website made it sound interesting— the room has stadium-style bikes, and they turn off all the lights, and they play loud music…

Earthfiles Reporter and Editor Linda Moulton Howe interviewed Robert M. Schoch, Ph.D., Geologist, Boston University, inside the Gobekli Tepe, Turkey, excavation site on June 13, 2012. The T-shaped pillars have an anthropomorphic identity. But who are they?

|Abstract||This paper focuses on the relation between logic and ontology. In particular, it demonstrates how classical logical theory can clarify the ontological part of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. To this end, the work examines the adequacy of a formal system that was devised by the Polish logician, mathematician and philosopher Roman Suszko (1919–1979) as a model for the Tractatus. Following a brief explanation of the Tractarian ontology, the main ideas of Suszko’s system and its philosophical significance will be considered. The latter will be illustrated in the context of central | Tractarian concepts. Finally, two implications for a better understanding of the Tractarian ontology will be pointed out.|

Ten poblano chiles sit scorching on a comal (a flat Latin American griddle) on top of a small stove, filling the cozy apartment kitchen near Mills College with an enticing, spicy aroma. “I do it this way because when my mother made chiles rellenos, I watched her grill the peppers in the flames until they turned black.” says Lupita Peimbert. “I know other people broil their peppers, but I do it over the burners as a connection to my mom.”

She kindly invited me over to watch her transform peppers, onions, tomatoes, cheese and eggs into delicious chiles rellenos, just like her mother used to make.

An injured kitten was brought to a local shelter in hopes to help it survive.
The Auglaize County Humane Society was recently brought a domestic medium-hair 10-week kitten by three young volunteers who found the animal near a home that had been burnt by a house fire on McBeth Rd.
The kitten, Ember, is a female, and needs a surgery to fix an infection in her eye from spreading.

The kitten will need to undergo surgery within the next couple weeks to remove the infected eye and be sewn up, which if left | go, could spread infection to the brain and other parts of the body and cause the animal to be in pain and suffer.

But the uncle convinced the family that he was not the murderer and authorized them to carry out a “londola” to identify the culprits.

The transfusion of red blood cells (RBC) is a critical component in the treatment of a number of acute and chronic medical problems. Indeed, approximately 75 million units of whole blood (~34 million liters) are annually collected worldwide for processing and eventual transfusion. Despite this massive collection effort, the need for blood constantly exceeds availability due to a combination of collection, manufacturing, storage and biological (i.e., immunological) issues. The immunological issues can often be the most clinically vexing as the RBC has ~300 blood group antigens that could potentially result in alloimmunization and, in rare cases, prevent life saving transfusions. Currently, there are limited options to either prevent blood group alloimmunization or to cost-effectively treat patients with severe alloimmunization.
To this end, the bioengineering of RBCs by the grafting of biocompatible polymers, such as methoxypoly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG), to donor cells is a promising non-pharmacological immunomodulation technology for preventing RBC transfusion | reactions. However, due to the labile nature of RBCs, surface-plasma interactions are poorly understood. To overcome the limitations imposed by viable cells, Dr. Mark Scott and his colleagues at the Canadian Blood Services and the University of British Columbia examined plasma adsorption to bare and polymer modified latex beads using fluorescently labeled plasma and proteomic techniques. Their work, entitled "Immunocamouflage of latex surfaces by grafted methoxypoly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG): proteomic analysis of plasma protein adsorption", was published in SCIENCE CHINA Life Sciences 55 (3), 191-201 ( | [
