To know me is to know I am a sucker for the festival scene. I've been waiting all winter long for the weather to shift in our favor and for all of the line ups to be posted. I don't consider myself a true veteran of the festival scene but I can say I've had my share of unforgettable experiences during time in the field, all ending up as great stories to share at dinner parties. Here are a few of my favorite stories:
- My Phone Drowned At MADE
- Bathroom Attended Stole My Phone
- Find the Taco Truck
- Fu$k No Toilet Tissue!
- Took a 3 Hour Train Ride to Brooklyn
- The Tail of the never ending Porter Potty Line
Sure I know some of my story titles sound horrifying but the experiences that surround them were well worth it and I wouldn't trade them for the world. So if you're ready to have hear good music, a cold beers and create amazing memories you have to come prepared. I made a simple list (with shopping links) to ensure a positive experience at your next outdoor function.
Festival Prep
- Don't wait to get your tickets. If its a line up you love nine times out of ten it will sell out and you'll be trolling for a over priced resell.
- If the venue requires you to print the tickets do it ASAP
- Drink plenty of water before the event especially if it is a hot/sunny day out. Outdoor festivals demand hydration.
- Be sure to check the weather so you can dress accordingly.
- Being Fashionably Late will have you at the back of the line listening to your favorite artist from the other side of the gate. At the risk of sounding like a square BE THERE EARLY.
- Grab a bite before you go in. It'll help you avoid spending time and money at the food trucks and keep you near the stage.
- Make a playlist to play during your pregame session with your friends and the ride there to get everybody energized!
Things To Bring
- BackPack/cross body bag (Gotta hold ya stuff somewhere)
- Light Weight Blanket: (If its outdoors you can use this to sit on the ground to enjoy music, eat, use as a wrap if chilly and help cover you if it starts to rain)
- Bottled Water (Many ventures will let you come in with unopened water which will prevent you from dropping 8 bucks on WATER and make sure you stay hydrated)
- Baby Wipes (The porter potties will ALWAYS run out of tissue babe)
- Hand Sanitizer (Did I mention PORTER POTTIES?)
- Ziplock bag (Put it over your phone if you dont want to spring for a case. If it rains and you're in the middle of a field "BYE BYE PHONE)
- Hair Ties (Just in case you want to get your hair out the way)
- Bobby Pin (Keeps hair out of face + is an awesome clip for a Roach *ya welcome*)
- CASH (Really easy for when you want to hit up vendors & food)
- Poncho (As I said earlier make sure to check the weather but you never know. They sell purse size ones usually at your local CVS or Target.)
- Mints (Beers, food, ad other elements tend to make your breath less than friendly. Pop a mint babe)
- Business Cards (There are so many people there honey get ya network on)
- Portable Charger (If your takin photos/vids & posting on your socials than you know your battery will suffer.)
- Rolling Papers (You know why)
- Lighter/Matches (For the slow songs..and YOU KNOW WHY)
- Bandaids & aid wipes (I always manage to cut my finger or scrap my knee)
- Tampons/Pads (I always bring one or too even if its not my time of the month because someone my be in need. Not all heroes where capes)
Hope you enjoy your next festival guys! xoxo Bamz

The field for the International Tennis Federation's Grade B1 Pan American Closed can draw competitors from as far north as Canada and as far south as Argentina. But this year, all four titles belonged to Americans, with Tornado Alicia Black beating compatriot Kaitlyn McCarthy 6-0, 6-0 for the girls singles championship, and Francis Tiafoe downing Californian Taylor Fritz 6-3, 6-0 to capture one of his two titles last weekend at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center at the University of Tulsa.
No. 13 seed McCarthy's path to the final was aided by Jessica Golovin's first round upset of No. 2 seed Dasha Ivanova, with No. 7 Maria Shishkina of Kazakhstan the only seed McCarthy encountered before the final. McCarthy's 3-6 6-4, 6-0 win over Shishkina in the quarterfinals, and her tight 7-5, 7-5 victory over unseeded 14-year-old Canadian Katherine Sebov put the Cary, N.C. resident into her first ITF Grade 1 final.
Black, who reached the final of the Grade B1 Easter Bowl this year and took No. 2 seed Ana Konjuh of Croatia into a third-set tiebreaker in the US Open girls final last month, was at the top of her game in the championship match, looking much more comfortable and aggressive than she had in her semifinal win over Zarazua.
McCarthy had two break points in the second game of the match, but was unable to convert either one, and Black never looked back after that. Striking every ball with authority and seizing the opportunities McCarthy gave her, Black didn't lose her focus as she collected game after game.
"I had watched her a few games the other day," said Black, who wasn't familiar with McCarthy's game, or even her name, before the US Open juniors this year. "I went out there trying to hit angles. She left the court open for me to go down the line a lot, so I took advantage of that. I played really aggressive today."
McCarthy agreed.
"She did pretty much what I expected," said the 15-year-old right-hander, who represented the United States at the Junior Fed Cup in Mexico last month. "She defended really well, she played pretty aggressively, she kept most of the balls in the court. I just wasn't ready to play today, unfortunately. You have those days sometimes, every athlete does. It just wasn't really coming off the racquet right today. She played really well on top of that, so it made for a very quick match."
In an hour and three minutes, Black had her first ITF Grade 1 title, which moved her into the Top 10 in the junior rankings.

Today, the most useful mean of communicating with your client (current or potential) is an effective website. We focus on delivering clean, functional, well-crafted websites.
You may think to yourself "My business is doing nicely already. Why should I pay for a well designed website now?" Whether you have a poorly designed website or no website at all, it is the first impression for any potential new customer. A cheap website will reflect poorly on the quality of your company and a non-existent one will reflect a weak reputation.
Your Website is available 24/7. A website allows your business to be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are millions of people, from all over the world, online at any time of the day. Many of them are looking to buy or outsource products and services. Having only a store front will only attract the people who walk or drive past your shop. Having a website allows you to attract new customers that would otherwise never find you - and they can do so while your shop is closed!
Websites increase Customer Confidence. A professional, well designed website, with the right content, easy navigation and quickly accessible contact details, greatly increases customer confidence in your company. A well designed website shows people that you are forward thinking and customer focused, which is an important factor in any buying decision that they have to make.
Increase Customer Referrals. Which is easier to remember? MySite.com or 555-817-3584? A website address is much easier to remember than a telephone number. Referrals are one of the most important sources of new business.

Our experience designing packaging and promotional materials enable us to be aware of the image and quality that your product should carry. It's the first thing that a potential client sees. You want to catch their attention immediately and entice them.
social media marketing
Improve your brand's digital presence and attract new customers on any social media platform! We work with you to develop your social media marketing campaign and execute it with high quality graphics and engaging content. Leave the management and expansion of your online reputation to us.
trade show displays
Have us design your next trade show booth that will capture attention and deliver the "WOW!" factor. We will suggest different types of media for your project: from retractable banners, signage, rolling banners, promotional give-a-way items and much more.
Promoting your products or services should not be out of reach, or on the other hand, cheap-looking. Creativity is the key. Imagination is what catches the eye, and that is what we start with when it comes to advertising and marketing.
Some projects are hard to classify, others are easier: publications, books, cards, etc. In any case, if it's printed, we can design it. We designed magazines and catalogs exclusively in the beginning, and over the years, we have accumulated the experience and confidence that enables us to offer you products of the highest quality.

Our photography summer program provides high students with a unique opportunity to work in the picturesque landscape of the South of France.
PHOTOGRAPHY Program overview
Photograpy majors work primarily with traditional black and white film photography. Students gain experience with many types of cameras and they learn to use a range of technical processes with their images in the dark room. Students have a unique opportunity at Les Tapies to work with an experienced visiting photographer. Barry Iverson, visiting photographer for 2015, has photographed for TIME Magazine for over 25 years. Photography students are able to tap into a wealth of knowledge as they develop their own studio portfolios over the course of the program.
Les Tapies summer programs also include a variety of excursions throughout Southern France, one of the many advantages of studying the visual arts abroad. One of the favorite excursions for photo majors is the group trip to Recontres d'Arles, an internationally acclaimed photographic exhibition just south of Les Tapies in the beautiful city of Arles. This exciting day trip allows students to visit one of the premier contemporary photography exhibits in the world, with hundreds of exhibitions setup in historic venues throughout Arles.
At the conclusion of the student program, students will have developed a substantial portfolio of studio work, exploring a range of thematic ideas and technical processes. Students will have had the opportunity to work with several film formats and camera types. To culminate the program, students give a presentation on the development of their process and reflect on the dynamic range of work they've produced.

I've had my fair share of anime crushes, and now that I think about it, I think that about 90% of the reason why I develop an anime crush is the voice. I have a
fetish thing for voices, after all. Ahem!
Anyway. . .what I'm trying to say is that I understand when people admit into becoming full-fledged fangirls (or fanboys) of a seiyuu. I also understand when someone admits to watching an anime just because their favourite seiyuu is on the cast.
Seiyuu are one of the most important aspects of anime. They bring characters to life, and I think that depending on how well they portray their characters, they contribute greatly to the overall popularity of the anime series, and I argue even to the total sales of the series' merchandises. Sometimes you even fall in love with a character because of the excellent portrayal of the seiyuu.
Saying all of these, however, I would caution against confusing your favourite seiyuu with the characters he/she plays. There are many seiyuu who are pigeon-holed into voicing similar types of characters throughout their careers, that they ultimately become redundant. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind this much. These seiyuu have found their specialties, and they worked hard to become the best and the first choice for portraying certain types of roles.
Nakai Kazuya (中井 和哉), for example, who voices Zoro from my favourite series ONE PIECE, also voices quite a lot of other swordsmen. Think about Hijikata of Gintama and Mugen of Samurai Champloo. He is not the most versatile seiyuu, but he has one of the most easily-recognizable voices in the industry. Even if you don't know that he's on the cast, you'll immediately say, "Ah, it's Nakai Kazuya voicing this character."
Similarly, Kugimiya Rie (釘宮 理恵), is hailed as the 「ツンデレの女王」 (Tsundere no Jo-ou) or "Tsundere Queen" because she has voiced a lot of tsundere characters. Think about Shana of Shakugan no Shana and Louise of Zero no Tsukaima. Of course, I'm not saying that she only voices tsundere characters. She has also voiced quite an array of different character types throughout her career, but she will always be known to her fans as the "Tsundere Queen".
There are so many awesomely talented seiyuu out there. Of course, they don't only work in the anime industry, but I'll be focusing on anime seiyuu in this post. I think that I'm mostly impressed with those seiyuu who possess extremely versatile voices. They are shapeshifters who can transform into almost any type of character, sometimes even disregarding the gender gap altogether.
Perhaps some of my favourite versatile seiyuu are Namikawa Daisuke (浪川 大輔) and Okamoto Nobuhiko (岡本 信彦). I dare you to check out each of their roles and compare them against each other. I guarantee that you'll find yourself exclaiming, "These characters are voiced by the same person?!"
These versatile seiyuu can avoid being pigeon-holed to voice a single character type. I'm not saying, though, that versatile seiyuu are better than the "specialist" seiyuu. Both kinds of seiyuu are special and talented in their own way, and I admire them all.
Returning to my main point of not confusing the anime character with the seiyuu, I want you to remember:
Seiyuu are NOT anime characters.
Sure, they give life to anime characters, but they are not them. It's good that you admire a seiyuu and the amazing job he/she does in portraying your favourite character, but I think it's too narrow-minded to become violently upset if the seiyuu voices a completely different character type. It's most unfortunate that I read so many harsh posts about irate fans ranting about how their favourite seiyuu "betrayed" them by voicing a character "inappropriate" and "unfit" for them. How sad.
Is it so bad to let these amazing seiyuu spread their wings and broaden their creative ranges by voicing a character type that is different from what they're used to? It's not the seiyuu who are "wrong" for voicing different types of characters, it's you who are wrong for placing them on your own self-imagined pedestal. You are the one who cages them and limits their "acceptable" types of characters to voice.
Almost all seiyuu are passionate about their work, so let's focus on the incredible job they're doing in voicing our favourite characters, instead of criticizing them. Without them, our favourite anime series would be lifeless. Would you like your favourite anime to be voiced by complete amateurs? The ones who sound so obvious that they're reading from scripts? I sure don't want that. I prefer these amazing professional seiyuu who do their job so perfectly that you forget there's a real person behind that anime character.

MUMBAI–Apologies to Suketu Mehta, but is there a city ever described with more contradictory superlatives than Mumbai, formerly Bombay? I am overwhelmed by its size, it's energy, smells, poverty, wealth, generosity and numbing and cruel disdain all at once. It's a marked contrast to my last few weeks, which saw me chilling out in Hyderabad,, Read More
I've now been in India for about six weeks, and I've come to realize that much of what has happened up to this point—fleeing Pakistan, leaving Reuters, landing in New Delhi—has been mostly prologue for The Big Journey that I've decided to undertake.

I just discovered what seems to be a bit of a hidden gem in Delhi: the Kunzum Travel Café.

Did you know…
…that Russian women wore all sorts of fancy jewelry unlike anything you've ever seen? You expect to see a kokoshnik on a Russian woman, that is the high and/or wide headdress made popular by Russian folk ballets. And indeed, it existed in medieval Russia. But there's a lot more!
Unfortunately, I don't have any information at hand on men's jewelry. But I'd say it's fairly safe to assume they wore some. As for women's jewelry, they wore a great variety of items.
Beads: lots of glass beads of various shapes and colors, but also stone and precious stones, ivory (walrus tusk, probably), amber, and precious metals. Glass bracelets, and bracelets made of other materials, too. But the most interesting and exotic-looking pieces of jewelry are temple rings, amulets and kolts.
Kolts were smallish (about 1 to 2 inches in diameter), hollow pieces, made of inexpensive metal alloys and were worn as pendants attached at the temples to the hair or the headdress, by ribbons, small chains, or leather thongs. They were probably filled with bits of perfumed cloth. Some were also made out of silver. More precious kolts could be larger (up to 2 1/2 inches), made of gold with cloisonne enamel.
Some amulets were moon-shaped (crescents) and were worn secured to the head in the same manner. Other amulets could be animal-shaped, and these were worn in sets or singly, secured by a pin to the dress at the shoulder, or on the belt, or as necklaces. There were also other amulets: spoon-shapes, keys, knives that were clearly not functional.
Temple-rings, finally, were just that — metallic rings worn at the temples, again attached to the hair (braided in) or to the headdress. They were usually worn in sets. They could be simple slender rings, or rings with three diamond-shaped medallions, or three beads. More complex temple-rings had seven "rays" or seven "leafs".
The designs on the jewelry could be found in other items: Celtic-knot-like carvings on stone or wood (on buildings, on furniture, in manuscript illuminations), animals, circular motifs, etc. The birds found on gold cloisonne kolts could be found on dishes and in architectural details. Many wooden items (spoons, cups, bowls, chair backs, column) were carved with similar designs.

While the unusual technique reportedly employed by the MP Steve Baker does work, there are easier ways to ensure your privacy
We have all had conversations that made us want to destroy our phones in rage, but that is not why Theresa May's nemesis, the Brexiter MP Steve Baker, apparently put his in the microwave.
According to reports, Baker – who led the campaign last week to trigger a vote of no confidence in the Tory leader – is paranoid about surveillance and keeps his phone in the microwave overnight to avoid being "bugged".
To be fair to Baker, he is right – at least about the microwave. The metallic mesh on the door of a typical oven forms a Faraday cage on the outside of the cooker, preventing the energetic microwaves from cooking you as they cook your meal. Put a phone in there and the barrier will work just as well to prevent any signals getting in or out. If you are really concerned, 30 seconds at 800W will definitely prevent any further eavesdropping for good (and may destroy your kitchen, too).
But there are more convenient ways of achieving the same end. For £20, you can buy a "Faraday bag" – a small pouch with the same mesh built in – allowing you to achieve signal blackout while keeping your microwave free for reheating last night's dinner. Even better for Baker, the bag in question is made in Britain, thus ensuring continued supply in the event of a no-deal Brexit.

Best Easter Climbing Locations
With Easter just around the corner, here are some of EpicTV's top getaway destenations for the long weekend.
Where: Fontainebleau
Why: Simply a boulderer's paradise. Sandy areas such as Trois Pignons and Bas Curvier provide problems for every climber and ability.
Type of Climbing: Bouldering
Rock: Sandstone
Difficulty: There are many, many climbs, on a huge variety of boulders. From beginners slabs to super hard 8C classics, Font has it all.
Accommodation: You can rent a 'Gîte' (self catering accommodation), grab a hotel, or chose a cheap campsite. There are three main campsites in the area and a few smaller options. The prices are very reasonable, and some allow you to light fires.
Where: Kalymnos, Greece
Why: Warm, but not too hot, Easter is arguably the best window of the year to go. Even better, Easter in Kalymnos is a big deal. Festivals, celebrations and the lobbing of explosives (dynamite) is truly a great combination. Couple this with some top notch sport routes, Kalymnos has a lot to keep you busy for the Easter holidays.
Type of Climbing: Sport climbing
Rock: Limestone
Difficulty: There is so much climbing here that you will be spoilt for choice. Kalymnos is a fantastic place to try pushing your grade, as the variety of climbs means you can pick one to suit your style.
Accomodation: Masouri, Armeos, and Myrties are all good villages for accessibility to crags, and they have plenty of hotels.
Where: Finale
Why: A world-renowned area in the north west of Italy, with pleasant weather during Easter. It has white sandy beaches, a pretty town, and many awesome limestone cliffs. You will be spoilt for choice of routes.
Type of Climbing: Sport
Rock: Limestone
Difficulty: Hosting mainly single pitche, Finale requires more technical, advanced climbing. Not a place for complete beginners, as most crags start at 6a and quickly jump up in difficulty.
Accommodation: Whether roughing it, or going deluxe, there is a wide range of camping and hotel options in and around the town.
Where: Mallorca
Why: Some of the best deep water soloing on the planet!
Type of Climbing: Loads of deep water soloing as well as sport climbing and multi-pitch options.
Rock: limestone
Difficulty: Open to all, depending on whether you head east or west. East offers more deep water soloing, but head west to explore what's on offer in the Tramuntana mountains, if you want to push yourself.
Accommodation: You can always find a good deal on a villa in Mallorca.

As the world's largest airline globally measured by international passengers carried, Emirates plays an active role in aviation policy debates that impact the industry.
Our position on competition, liberalisation and government financial intervention in aviation is strongly focused on consumers and, at the heart of our business model, is a commitment to true international competition and open skies. The protection of a national carrier simply because it carries the flag of one particular country belongs to the past. Where governments protect flag carriers, competition is weak, exporters suffer, tourism stagnates and passengers are forced to pay some of the highest fares in the world. Robust competition allows more people to fly, and liberalised economies with open market access tend to be the strongest. Dubai is a long-term supporter of open markets with its first open skies type agreement signed in 1937. This policy has played an integral role in ensuring over 100 international airlines have flights to Dubai and that more than 88 million passengers pass through the airport annually.
Similarly, Emirates does not belong to any of the traditional alliances. We choose to chart our own future. In April 2013 we partnered with Qantas in a codeshare partnership, arranged in such a way to maximise benefits for our customers, create cost and network efficiencies for both airlines, and reinforce Dubai's standing as a global hub. We also have codeshare arrangements with other carriers, for example flydubai, JetBlue, Alaska Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Korean Air, TAP Portugal and Copa Airlines.
The environmental impact of aviation is an increasingly important topic of debate within international aviation and environmental policy, and an area that we are actively involved in addressing. We are committed to becoming more sustainable and improving our environmental performance. We also believe governments must find a better balance between incentivising responsible corporate behaviour and motivating change, and avoiding more punitive political and policy measures that weaken our industry's ability to invest in sustainable growth and that unfairly impact our customers.
Thank you for taking the time to consider our views on international aviation policy. You can find out more about the latest issues affecting the aviation industry in our journal, Open Sky.

We were running out of options for what to eat for lunch that John decided we try Big Better Burgers which is just in front of our office. Of course, I said yes. I needed to take a break from all the chicken from KFC and nuggets from McDonald's. Hahaha.
|I forgot to take a picture of the front of the burger joint.
(photo credits to www.houseofqueens.com)
The place was just small and it definitely has the diner feel to it. Main color palette's basically red and yellow and John said that the place would've looked better if they used white light instead of yellow. But I don't mind, hehe. Of course, everything was self-service here.
I originally wanted to try the Three Cheese Explosion burger because of my undying love for all things cheesy but I decided a 1/3 lb patty was too much for me that moment. So I opted for the BBQ Quarter pounder with cheese and a glass of Mountain Dew (I love that they serve Pepsi products here).
The fries were delicious, reminds me of Wendy's french fries but it was even better. Food was served hot and off the grill which was fantastic. This also comes with a dill onion mayo dip. Yum!
And I tried to get a decent photo of the burger using my phone but, oh well.
|(photo credits to halieskitchen.blogspot.com for the photo on the left)
The burger was really, really good. It was juicy, yummy and was really big! You can taste that the burger was charbroiled or grilled, there were even grill marks on the buns! For PhP140 value meal of burger and fries, it was really a good deal! A good alternative to Army Navy or Wendy's burgers (I've never tried Brothers Burger).
What was funny also was since the TV was on HBO and the film showing was A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, we were laughing how we were eating while occasionally watching Freddie Kruger kill people.
They also offer pasta and rice meals so I'll definitely come back to try those... after I finally sink my teeth on the Three Explosion burger. Hehe~

Rachmaninoff was 6'6" (1.98m) tall. His hands were huge, he apparently could span a 13th. He also had a formidable memory for music and could faithfully play back music he had heard only once even years earlier.
He was often perceived as a grumpy person. Igor Stravinsky famously described him as "Six foot six of Russian gloom". However friends and people who knew him well descibe his sense of humour, big laugh and appreciation of good food, wine and good company. Watch the video below to see him and judge for yourself.
He loved fast cars and had many a fine for speeding. He bought a new car every year. In Switzerland he had a fast boat on Lake Lucerne.
He gave many charitable performances and donated generously to the war effort against the Nazis.
In 1923 he gave a loan to fellow Russian Igor Sikorsky whose Long Island aircraft factory was facing disaster. This was the beginning of a long friendship and Rachmaninoff was made the first Vice-president of the Sikorsky company.

Canada Passes a Drug Safety Law, but Criticism Persists
Following sustained criticism that government oversight of prescription drug safety was lacking, Canada late last week passed Vanessa's Law, which gives the Health Minister new authority over a wide range of practices involving both the pharmaceutical industry and the national regulatory agency.
Yet, criticism continues. In particular, Rx&D, the pharmaceutical industry trade group remains concerned about the disclosure of confidential business information, while one health policy expert at York University says the law may hamper the health ministry from releasing this sort of information to people with legitimate interests.

Perky, inquisitive and confiding, the black-capped chickadee is one of North America's best known and loved avian species.
This week's featured bird is the black-capped chickadee, Poecile atricapillus. Black-capped chickadees personify cheerfulness as they poke into bark crannies in search of insect eggs or pluck seeds from weeds and feeders. "Who ever saw a dejected Chickadee?" wrote W. Earl Godfrey, author of The Birds of Canada.1
The black-capped chickadee is a small, chunky bird with a big head, small beak and long tail. It has a black "bib" and prominent black cap over a broad, white cheek patch. Its back, wings and tail are grey, and its sides, buff-coloured. This species has a total body length of 12-15 centimetres and weighs 9-14 grams.2 Males and females are coloured alike. Like other chickadees and titmice, the black-capped chickadee belongs to the songbird family Paridae.
Black-capped chickadees occur year-round in forests and shrublands across North America, from Alaska to Newfoundland, from tree line in the north to mid-America.2 They travel in small groups called "companies" and forage in a variety of habitats that include deciduous and mixed forests, willow and alder thickets, forest clearings and edges, yards, parks and weedy fields.1
Perky and ever-curious, black-capped chickadees fly their undulating flight pattern directly to our feeder from the shelter of spruce and pine windbreaks near our house. On their arrival at the feeder, they cling to the roof or walls while scanning the area for danger. After determining that the coast is clear, they hop down onto the feeder platform and snatch up black oil sunflower seeds in their tiny beaks. Then they wing back to the cover of the conifers.
Even when out of sight, black-capped chickadees divulge their presence with bright "chicka-dee-dee-dee" calls. Here in Nova Scotia, they begin whistling two-note mating calls in January,when the province is still in the throes of winter. A young friend once asked, "Magi, what's the cheeseburger bird? I keep hearing this bird singing 'cheeseburger'." His mystery bird was a black-capped chickadee, whose mating call sounds like a bright "CHEESE-burger!"
After mating, a pair of black-caps excavates or remodels a hole in a tree as a nesting site. The female lays her eggs within the cavity and incubates them. The male feeds her while she incubates. After the eggs hatch, both parents procure food for their rapidly-growing young.3
In 2009, while birding for the Maritime Breeding Bird Atlas, I heard muted yet insistent cries of young birds emanating from somewhere. I spotted an adult black-capped chickadee carrying an insect larva or caterpillar in its beak. The chickadee perched on a branch and studied me for several minutes. It must have decided I wasn't a threat because it flew to a snag in a shallow wetland and entered a hole in the dead tree's trunk. As it did so, the decibel level of the young birds' cries rocketed. I'd found an active chickadee nest.
Here in Nova Scotia, winter temperatures bounce up and down like a yo-yo. Wild storms periodically fling cold and freezing rain, as well as snow, onto the landscape. In his conservation classic, A Sand County Almanac, Aldo Leopold wrote, "I suspect that in the chickadee Sunday School two mortal sins are taught: thou shalt not venture into windy places in winter, thou shalt not get wet before a blizzard'."4 Our black-capped chickadees appear to have learned their lessons well.

Does space know proper place and movement real rest? The answer depends, as with all answers to all theoretical scientific questions, on convictions already pre-logically accepted and stubbornly adhered to. Or to say it otherwise: the answer depends on "facts" we consider to be self-evident, since from our tenderest years we are told and taught them so often that we have lost even the capability to doubt their truth.
The present paper endeavours to come to grips with one of the most important of such "facts". And the first step this enterprise compels us to take is that we have to decide which of the three methods available for approaching the matter of celestial motions we shall use. Do we prefer to think in terms of mechanical and kinematical analogy or in those of mathematical formalism? Or do we want to halt between those two approaches, switching from the first to the second whenever logical reasoning, leaning on the available data, obliges us to accept a conclusion that we a priori judge to be unacceptable?
The first method is the classical one. The second cannot be used in a simon-pure form, for it has still to reckon with immutable givens in rock-bound reality. The third possibility is our century's escape route from the morass of anomalies clustered around the notions of definable cosmic movement and rest, a morass in which at the turn of the century the practitioners of three hundred years of astronomical "New Science" found themselves bogged down. Now, such a hybrid approach may not necessarily produce misleading cosmological models, but it surely can and does make room for inconsistent argumentation. Applying mathematics as part of a process of elucidating matter-bound observations is not the same as using these observations for the purpose of justifying matter-free mathematics. Newly discovered phenomena may compel scientists to change their theories, but no thinkable theory is able to change the "raw" phenomena. Furthermore, to accept anything as "proven" is not the same as actually having proved it. "Proof" and "disproof" in the commonly accepted sense of giving absolute truth may even be argued to be chimerical, since only omniscience would not have to reckon with the possibility of unexpected input, always again spoiling our mortal certainties.
The discussion will in this paper be strictly confined to a kinematical inquiry, that is, to the question whether we do or do not have, or can find, a firm and absolutely coordinated hold on the space in which we observe motions relative to ourselves, a space to the modern mind only conceivable as infinite and nowadays characterized as "unbounded". Only when such is
unavoidable will theoretical deliberations about attributes, content, and extent of this space be touched upon, since the chosen line of access presupposes adherence to the common-sense spatiality of workaday kinematics, that is, the spatiality – a circumstance often conveniently overlooked! – beyond which theorists can only offer ingenious mathematical derivations that supersede our perceptible and perceived reality. For nolens volens theorists can do no more then analogically explain these derivations and the hypotheses extracted from them by means of "flat space" models, ironbound as they are to the three dimensions and the untouchable, not to be manipulated by time, in which their minds are created and constrained to operate.
Many will claim the method used here to be outmoded for any other than low-level workaday operations. Maybe so, but we should not forget why, now almost a century ago, the flight into a fourth dimension, a so-called "space-time continuum", was urged to be theoretically necessary. In the closing of the eighteen hundreds, experimental evidence and the ruling Newtonian world view had become increasingly difficult to reconcile. The Earth seemed at rest in the stellar domain, and this being "unthinkable"(2) in Newtonian terms, a way had to be found and a device adopted that logically forever would banish such an "impossible" state of affairs. Yet, however "unthinkable" and "impossible", this geocentric abomination is not "impossible" after the manner of a square circle. From our earthly perspective we experience it all the days of our lives. Hence unless and until it logically leads to antinomies, there are no valid reasons to prohibit and condemn the use of "flat-space" kinematics. For procedures, theories and hypotheses may rise and fall – the logic employed in their construction is not subject to human whims, while on the other hand Einsteinian demonstrations by means of analogies are never strictly compelling. They may elucidate difficult postulates but do not "prove" them.

Presentation number seven was about databases. Tomas Barina prepared an introduction of the database technology for web servers. He has reviewed the SQL basics and explained some of the specifics of the NoSQL database technology. Mainly he has focused on the Google App Engine data services: datastore, memcache and blobstore. New datastore with five 9s is the recommended choice. Then he continued with some APIs recommendations, there are two java choices JDO and JPA for GAE. Large part of the session was devoted to a sample code. Tomas has shown how to set the database, write the basic CRUD operations and how to test the code using a REST client and datastore/viewer. Samples of the memcache usage were also explained with some comments about efficiency. The whole presentation is giving complete advice on how to configure and use persistence in GAE.
See the presentations
The next session will put all three presentations together. The result will be a simple code for a web application running on a Galaxy tablet. The native client will display an entry field for name, surname and date of birth. The user will fill-in data and save them on GAE. The next "activity" screen will read the data from the cloud and display it. This final application will complete the web apps how-to. The whole code will be published on github.
We had two interesting contributions in discussion forum. Adam send a post showing how to use WiFi instead of the USB cable for the Galaxy tablet during the development. Very nice and useful, no wires cluttering the table. The second contribution describes an API for the university information system called KOS. Tonda put together sample code for authentication and data access. This is the starting point for all teams working on applications requiring the schedule and other data from KOS. Michal has published description of a small game on his blog.
I have reviewed the teams development sites to check the activity. I have found good and interesting progress. Happy meal team produced nice wireframes for their application.
Car share has developed lively video showing authentication, great job!
Conclusions: Some teams have made great progress. It looks like some do not like documenting. Some of the teams need to wake up and begin working. But overall, I thing, we are doing great job!

Brief Synopsis
An heiress decides to pass out anonymous gifts in a small town.
Soon after returning to America from England, where she lived for many years, oil heiress Corby Lane buys a car and heads for Progress, Arkansas. Upon arriving there, Corby, who is intent on repaying the town for helping her father obtain a life-saving operation for her when she was two, inquires about Dr. Robert Sellers, her childhood physician. Finding the doctor not at home, Corby pushes the "emergency only" button next to his front door, causing a loud alarm to sound. At a nearby river, "Doc," who has just snagged the elusive fish Hercules, hears the noise and, abandoning his catch, races back to his house. Though irritated by Corby's impatience, Doc invites her to his office. Corby, who is startled by Doc's youth, introduces herself as "Miss Johnson" and claims that she is on her way to California. Corby then asks Doc what he would do if she gave him $5,000, and after he replies that he would lock her up as a lunatic, she announces that she is staying in Progress for a few days. The bemused Doc helps Corby settle in at Mrs. McMurty's boardinghouse, then invites her out that evening. At Harley's Tavern, Doc gets Corby drunk on moonshine and tries to trick her into revealing her true identity. Before he gets very far, however, he is summoned to the Jordan farm to deliver a baby. At Doc's insistence, the intoxicated Corby goes along and makes a mental note when new father Dick offers to pay Doc with hogs. The next morning, a hungover Corby chats with fellow boarder Otey Chalmers, who happily admits he is the town drunk and is grateful for the bad moonshine Harley supplies him. Meanwhile, Doc and his young friend, Digger, drop by the Jordan farm and are shocked to find Dick knee-deep in baby supplies, which have been sent by an anonymous donor. Instead of being grateful for the gift, Dick worries about how his wife Barbara will react to the immense clutter. Just then, Doc is called to Mrs. McMurty's and learns that Otey received a case of scotch and collapsed in his room shortly after. Doc treats Otey for alcohol poisoning and complains to Corby about the "idiotic Santa Claus" who sent him good liquor. To Corby's dismay, Doc and Sally Watson, his smitten neighbor, then go out on their regular Friday night movie date. When Doc returns home, Digger tells him that he snuck a peek at Corby's car registration and knows that her real name is Lane. Doc looks Corby up in his deceased father's files and finds that, twenty years before, the town took up a collection to pay for her operation. Despite the late hour, Doc invites Corby for an ice cream soda at Ad Meeker's general store and, after revealing he knows her identity, kisses her. Doc then tells Corby that, like the rest of Progress, the Jordans prefer bartering to paying cash, and that Harley has been cutting Otey's moonshine with water in order to wean him from alcohol. When Doc suddenly proposes marriage, Corby is infuriated by his "presumptuousness" and throws her jacket at him before storming out. Unaware that the jacket landed in the rummage sale bin, Corby is stunned to see Sally wearing the coat at church on Sunday and assumes that Doc gave it to her. Later, Doc hears that veterinarian Joe Whelan is fulfilling his life-long dream of moving to California, as someone has given him a car. Because Joe is the only vet in the area, Doc files theft charges against him to keep him in Progress. When Joe angrily demands his freedom, however, Doc relents and drops the charges. At the river, Doc confronts Corby, who is fishing with Digger, and while he accuses her of meddling, she demands to know how Sally got her jacket. After the two push each other into the water, Doc leaves to tend to a sick hog. Soon after, every one in town receives an envelope containing thousands of dollars in cash, and Progress' windfall becomes national news. Now flush, Sally departs for business school in St. Louis, while Otey announces he is "taking the cure" in Kansas City. Before Otey can get out of town, however, the place is besieged with anxious people looking for easy money. Finally realizing the folly of her good intentions, Corby confesses all to the growing crowd, but is met with hostility. When a fight breaks out, Doc shows up to stop it and apologizes to the people, who then leave town without further incident. Later, Corby rings Doc's emergency bell, and after he again drops Hercules and comes running, she apologizes for her foolishness. Doc then proposes, and Corby accepts with a kiss.
