For just one day tomorrow, close to 80 parking spaces around Singapore will look, sound and smell very different. Instead of cars and motorcycles, one can expect to find anything from old-school kopitiams and kampung games to doodle walls and life-size Pokemons.
The transformation of the parking spots into temporary social spaces is part of Park(ing) Day, a global movement that calls for the rethinking of urban spaces. The annual event began in San Francisco in 2005 and was first brought to Singapore three years ago. The Urban Redevelopment Authority supports the Park(ing) Day event here.
This year, some 78 local parking spots will be turned into 52 "parks" by members of the public, students and government agencies.
The 123 students - from Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), Lasalle College of the Arts, School of the Arts, Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) and Republic Polytechnic - will set up and curate 19 of the parks.
While the project will last for only a day, planning began as early as last month for many of them. Fifteen SUTD students who had taken part in previous Park(ing) Day editions conducted workshops for other students to brainstorm ideas.
During the day-long sessions, the students explored their Park(ing) Day sites, spoke to community members from those areas and eventually came up with park concepts based on these interactions.
Dr Chong Keng Hua, 39, assistant professor of architecture and sustainable design at SUTD, said the workshop was one way to involve more young people.
We want Singapore to be more colourful. Now, our streets are sanitised and lack the kind of diversity we used to have in the past.
MS JEZAMINE CHUA, who participated in Park(ing) Day in 2013 and 2014 and ran the workshops this year.
"We wanted to show them that everyone can contribute to shaping the city. The young are our future leaders after all," said Dr Chong, who mentors the SUTD students.
Ms Jezamine Chua, 22, who participated in Park(ing) Day in 2013 and 2014 and ran the workshops this year, said: "We want Singapore to be more colourful. Now, our streets are sanitised and lack the kind of diversity we used to have in the past."
One space that will pay homage to the past will be Sam Leong Road, near where the now-defunct New World Amusement Park once stood. There, NYP students Nor Farhana Mohamed Ramzan, Shanice Ng and their friends will treat visitors to skits, coffee and free retro carnival games such as picking up marbles with chopsticks and popping balloons with darts.
"We were inspired after interviewing an uncle who told us he used to pay just 10 cents to enter New World," said Ms Farhana, 21.
Ms Ng, 19, said: "We sometimes just walk down a street and take it for granted. Hopefully, this will give people a new perspective."
Most of the pop-up parks will be in central areas such as Telok Ayer and Bukit Pasoh. Some will be in the heartland like Sembawang.
SUTD student Loo Jun Wen, 21, hopes the Pokemon-themed parks at Kampong Glam and Bugis will get more young people to explore the areas' heritage. He said: "Hopefully, it will remind them that beyond physical buildings, we should also preserve intangible aspects of the areas such as the human touch and the way of life."

...is what we found on our back patio on Kennedy's birthday. We were about to walk out the door to my doctor's appointment, when Kennedy noticed that our patio ceiling had collapsed. Woohoo! MORE work on this house? Could we be so lucky?!
I have actually enjoyed putting work into this house; making it our own. The possibilities are endless, which can be overwhelming at times. But overall it's exciting to put in the work and come out with a sense of accomplishment.
BUT...this list just keeps growing. Luckily, my parents gave Kennedy a new miter saw for his birthday. So this past weekend, Kennedy and my dad, then Kennedy and I worked to cover this dead-rat-wasp-nest-mice-skull-infested ceiling. It went faster and easier than we'd anticipated, thankfully!
...is our progress! The boards are up, it looks great, and all we have left is to paint it white!
Yesterday, while sitting in the office (which is at the front of the house), I heard squirrels running back and forth in between the gutters and the soffits...
...Oh, I think I have plenty to blog about every day in October.

Journalist seeking haven in Mexico City is killed, generating international outrage about violence against media workers
A journalist who had fled Veracruz out of concern for his life has been found dead in Mexico City, calling attention to ever increasing violence against media workers in Mexico and existing protection offered to those who fear for their lives.
He is the seventh journalist to be killed in the country this year and the fourth from Veracruz.
Rubén Espinosa, a photojournalist for Proceso newsmagazine, and four women were found dead in a Mexico City apartment in the middle-class neighborhood of Narvarte. Officials have not named the women, but reports have circulated via social media that a domestic worker, a student and an activist from Veracruz were among the victims.
Espinosa had been hit in the face and had sustained two bullet wounds, according to reports.
Press advocacy organization Article 19 said his murder, the first time an internally displaced journalist was killed in the Federal District, marked a milestone in violence against press in the country.
"The violence that Espinosa suffered was known publicly, so that the killing of the photojournalist occurred without the authorities in charge of protecting journalists in this country moving a finger to help him. Article 19 is extremely concerned that Mexico City is no longer the safe haven that housed dozens of displaced journalists."
In June, Espinosa left his home in Veracruz after being assaulted and harassed by unknown individuals, as reported by Article 19.
The organization reported that the photojournalist "who specializes in covering protests, said that covering local government events had been made particularly tough for him."
While covering a student protest in 2012, he was threatened and stopped from taking photos of police beating students, according to Proceso. In September 2013, he was reportedly beaten by state police while covering the violent eviction of teachers from a public square.
Espinosa worked to spread awareness of violence against journalists in the state of Veracruz and the country as a whole.
Before he left the state in June, he oversaw the placement of a plaque to honor investigative journalist Regina Martínez who was killed in 2012, according to Article 19. She also worked for Proceso and wrote about drug cartels, human trafficking and state corruption.
After he moved to Mexico City, he was interviewed by Sin Embargo about leaving his home. The publication asked him if repression governed in that state.
"Repression is going to be greater than we have today and we should remember that Javier Duarte [governor of Veracruz], at the beginning of his administration said that he admired Franco, this is a reference that people didn't pay much attention to and now all Veracruz residents are living this. I'm just asking the people, the society and the journalists to pay attention to Veracruz, [they are killing the possibility for us to have freedom of expression]."
He concluded by saying "death chose Veracruz, death decided to live there."
This past weekend, Espinosa's family had reported to Article 19 that he was missing and they in turn made a formal report to the Attorney General of Mexico, the Secretariat of the Interior (SEGOB by its acronym in Spanish) and the National Commission on Human Rights in order to activate protocols to locate the journalist, according to Article 19. The family said they had last heard from Espinosa on the afternoon of July 31.
Mexico City prosecutor Rodolfo Ríos Garza said at a press conference on August 2 that the government is following protocol for investigating crimes against journalists and women, as well as looking at robbery as a motive, but failed to mention that Espinosa had left Veracruz because of threats, according to the Associated Press.
That same day, thousands gathered at the Angel of Independence monument in Mexico City to protest Espinosa's death. More gathered in Jalisco, Oaxaca, Nuevo León and Veracruz.
The hashtag #JusticiaParaRubén (#JusticeforRuben) started to trend on Twitter as social media users quickly rallied to spread word of Espinosa's death, and more broadly, the growing violence against journalists and civil society in Mexico.
Protection for journalists
In 2012, the federal government approved the establishment of the Protection Mechanism for Human Rights Defenders and Journalists, which is overseen by the Human Rights Unit of SEGOB, yet critics have pointed to serious problems with it.
The effectiveness of the federal office of the Special Prosecutor for Attention to Crimes Against Freedom of Expression, which was restructured in 2010, also previously was challenged by advocacy organizations, such as Article 19.
Espinosa had not submitted his case to the Mechanism because "he was skeptical that it could really do something, given the history of the Mechanism," Darío Ramírez, director of Article 19 for Mexico and Central America, said to the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas.
Still, Ramírez said Article 19's position is that authorities should have been closer to Espinosa.
Violence in Veracruz
Press advocacy organizations recently pointed to a higher concentration of violence against journalists in the southern states of Mexico, Veracruz in particular. Espinosa, who also worked for Cuartoscuro and AVC Noticias, is the fourth journalist from that state to be killed this year.
The body of Juan Mendoza Delgado, director of news portal Escribiendo la Verdad and previous police reporter at newspaper El Dictamen, was found on July 1.
The tortured body of Veracruz radio journalist Armando Saldaña Morales was found in Oaxaca on May 4.
Armed individuals forcibly took newspaper editor José Moisés Sánchez Cerezo from his home on January 2; his body was found on the side of a Veracruz highway 22 days later.
Twelve journalists have been killed in the state since Gov. Javier Duarte of the PRI has been in office, according to Article 19.
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) previously said that Duarte's government "has sought to dismiss any possible link between journalists' murders and their profession."
In July, the governor accused the press of collaborating with organized crime, according to the Los Angeles Times.
There was somewhat of a connection between Espinosa and Duarte. In 2009, Espinosa worked as a photographer for Duarte when he was a candidate for governor, Proceso reported. The journalist then dedicated himself to uncovering corruption and seeking justice for crimes against journalists.
Espinosa took a photo of Duarte that graced the cover of a February 2014 issue of Proceso which included a story about killings of journalists in Veracruz and alleged complicity of public officials to not clear the cases, according to Sin Embargo. Copies of the magazine quickly disappeared off of kiosk shelves.
Many fear Espinosa's family will never see his killers brought to justice as Mexico ranks seventh in CPJ's 2014 Global Impunity Index, which measures punishment doled out to killers of journalists.

A 22nd different name appeared on our Player of the Year trophy in 2016.
James Miller…
…wasted little time racking up the poles, taking 6 for 24 on debut and going on to take 43 wickets, (all in the League), at 12.63 with a best of 7 for 35 against Chertsey.
Add in some useful contributions down the order with the bat, his time working with players at all levels of the Club and doing all jobs around the Clubhouse and on the square, to say he was a very popular acquisition is an understatement.
During the season he was also summoned to The Oval to help net bowl ahead of the Test Match against Pakistan. Sky Sports News cameras picked him up:
…our guess is he had more chance of playing in that match than Adil Rashid!

In honor of my father, who passed in 2003, these are the things I loved about him:
Tops on the list was his sense of humor.
He was always making little gadgets, some of which I still have to this day.
His sense of humor.
He was a carpenter so he smelled like fresh shaved wood.
His sense of humor.
His willingness to fix things for me, when he was younger and still lived here on the mainland.
His sense of humor.
His sense of adventure, was willing to try just about anything.
His sense of humor.
He tackled life, in a huge way.
His sense of humor.
His friendliness, we always had people visiting.
His sense of humor.
Lovejoy Buttes – A Gorgeous Area!

Looking around at one of most beautiful areas in the high desert that is relatively a secret, I'm glad not many people know of it ! I have complete privacy whenever I am out there.
There are beautiful cottonwoods, gorgeous blue skies, and an abundance of wild life. My dog loves to try to chase all the lizards, snakes, and rabbits. I hang on to his leash tightly when he spots them! There are still plenty of wildflowers left. I need to take Rich Breault out there so he can tell me the names of all of them. Plenty of the most dainty little pink flowers, plenty of primrose still left and lots of a pretty little yellow flowers that are new to the scene! Some late bloomers…
Best of all, I don't have to get in a car to get here.
I walk out my front door, cross the street, down the dirt road, and I am in desert heaven. I climb up and down the hills. I get wonderful views from the top of the mountains. It's truly a great place to be.
Another fun aspect of living here, is the ravens. The ravens just love the butte area. I think the air currents created by the rocks give them a wonderful area to play in. There are always playfully flying around and are a treat to watch. Some of them sit perched on a joshua tree watching us approach until we get pretty close. I must get my camera ready for a close-up someday!
To those people who fail to see beauty in the desert, you are missing out! To those who want to hike somewhere different, come with me!

I don't love all live music. I can be picky. I also have a wide range of what I like. I always like what the piano players play on the storefront piano.
The sounds that come from out there are sweet.
The sounds that I heard at Neilstock Vll last night were fantastic. Thanks to Neil Werner and Ron Emard for making it happen. I am lucky to know some great and talented musicians. If you weren't there, you missed out on some great entertainment.
From left to right, Jim, Neil, Danny (on drums), Roby. Mitch hidden behind Neil, Manny hidden behind Roby. A super loaded stage of talent!
These two guys are also just great to listen to. Sean and Jim are a real treat, especially since Sean is usually on the road.
Of course, I wouldn't post photos of musicians that I don't like. There are a few. To those, I say, keep practicing your craft!
To the ones I love, I say, thank you. I am blessed!

Sunday started out with a great breakfast @ Jackie's Cafe with my family of four. Have you ever eaten there? They have a great menu with one of the BEST breakfast selections. For the first time, since my husband and I became parents, our daughters actually paid the bill for us. A monumental occasion for us! Dennis said he could get used to that very easily. They said, "Don't, Dad!." Ha ha…
We made our way to the Poppy Festival, got there early, and the crowds were already there. Saw Mark Bozigian and Bob Greene right away. I teased them about the piano being "stolen" from the front of the Graphic Experience, said I almost called the police. Fortunately, I found it here with some kids happily playing on it.
It's very rare that my family of four does anything together,as we all live busy lives. It was nice to be walking around, looking at everything the Festival has to offer. Have a friend that was part of the dog sheepherding show. She is great at what she does. Saw lots of people I know, some had booths, some were enjoying the day as I was. I ended up buying a new, cool, corian cutting board and some great, exotic pastas. Do you get the idea that I love to cook?
After a few hours, one daughter said she had a headache, the other had to go to work, my husband was itching to get back to a painting he's been working on.. My family said they were ready to leave. I wasn't! I told them, "so long, I'll see ya later." They asked what was I going to do? Keep having fun, I said to them. They know better than to worry about me. Besides, I wanted to hear the Eagles tribute band. Off they went.
I hung out with Nick West and his museum "posse" for a little while, even sold some raffle tickets. Visited with Donna Termeer for a bit, hung out with Bob Alvis in his booth and did one of my favorite hobbies – people watching ! I also visited with Jeff as he watched over the Palmdale Learning Plaza plane. I even climbed in. Made me want to go flying in something again, whether it's a small plane or a hot-air balloon. Even a helicopter is fun.
Then, it was time for the music to start ! Made my way over to the main stage, got a good seat, and enjoyed listening to the long list of songs by the fabulous Eagles. The band did a great job of just that – paying tribute to them. I did note that it took 6 guys to try to imitate the great original 4. It was very entertaining with some great guitar players. I never tire of good musicians.
My day there ended chatting with Dan Munz, a another great guy I'm lucky to count as a friend. What a fun day I had. It was another day that reminded me of how blessed I really am….
Hanging in the Sun

Hanging? In the sun? Not talking about laying on the beach, or at a secluded sunny area. Not talking about plants. Not talking about a trip to Hawaii.
I'm talking of the joy of hanging clothes on the clothesline ! Hanging sheets, towels, and blankets on the clothesline! Another thing of the past, but my present. An activity I actually enjoy.
Fortunately, I have a huge yard with a huge custom welded clothesline that I love. "How trashy" , some people say. It's "trashy" when you see clothes that are strung on fences, trees, and whatever. My clothesline is the absolute best. It's really long, over 20 ft., has just the right spacing between rows. Why not use solar power to create great-smelling clothes, towels, and sheets? Forget the chemical smell of dryer sheets to make fabric smell "fresh." Besides, we live in the desert. In the hot summer months, we would hang up one load and those would already be dry when we hung up the next load !
I grew up hanging clothes outdoors. All our older generations did the same. How did it become "low-brow", "no-class", and an "embarrassment?"
I had some long periods of not having the luxury of outdoor fabric hanging. Some periods were years long. I dried my things in a dryer, like everyone else. I know not everyone can or even would, hang in the sun. I'm glad I had the opportunity to raise my kids using the clothesline from their babyhood ( nothing beats the sun for those cotton diapers) all the way up to their teen-age jeans. As soon as they could reach the clothesline, they helped out. I have a dryer that I bought used, from friends, in 1975. It gets used when wanted or needed. Amazingly enough, my dryer still works just fine…

If you are a music lover, then the melodic, dynamic, and talented duo of Don and Jim are a treat to listen to ! They have been playing together for 30 years now and have a real "connection" to their music. Jim and Don first met way back in 1971, attending the same high school here in the Antelope Valley. They started playing seriously together in 1980. Since then, they have played on numerous occasions in numerous places ! This includes the Lancaster Performing Arts Center, and just about every public venue ( The Rock Inn, Cedar Art Center, Lakes and Valleys Art Guild and many more) here in the Antelope Valley and beyond.These artists have played at many private functions as well.
They have a CD out called The Goods but unfortunately is sold out . It has all original material and they have so many more new compositions, Don and Jim hope to put out another CD soon. Jim's earlier influences are Paul Simon, James Taylor and of course, the great Eric Clapton. Which leads us into other types of music these great musicians, Jim and Don play. When Jim was asked which type of guitar do you like best, "electric or acoustic ?", he thought about it and honestly said he loves both ! He had a blues band for a while that was absolutely great. In addition to the blues, Jim plays literally all types of music. Don, like any great musician, loves all music too. He has been lately really enjoying playing Spanish guitar, not to be confused with flamenco guitar. It's all in the fingering and Don has the talent to do it all ! If you have an opportunity to hear these two together, apart, or with other musicians, be sure not to miss it !

Double the usefulness of a journaling card by removing the lines. It's as simple as a little click of the Magic Wand tool.
How do you like your journal cards? Lined or unlined?
Personally, I go both ways. In my super-perfect world all kits that have journaling cards offer them in both a lined and an unlined version. I just like to have a choice, and thanks to Photoshop, I do.
Step One: Open a Lined Element
This tutorial will only work if the lines on your element are independent and if they are on a semi-plain background. See the example of what I'm referring to below.
This element is from Effortless by Angie Briggs. You can download this element or try this technique on a lined element from your own stash.
- Open a lined element (File > Open).
Step Two: Select the Journaling Lines
- Press Ctrl + (Mac: Cmd +) to zoom way in to the top journal line.
- Get the Magic Wand tool.
- In the Tool Options, click on the Add to Selection icon and set the Tolerance to 32. Check Anti-aliasing and Contiguous. Uncheck Sample All Layers.
- Press the Caps Lock key to turn your cursor into a precise crosshairs.
- On the document, click once on the first journal line to select it.
- Continue clicking once on each of the remaining journal lines.
NOTE: To reposition the zoom, hold down the Space bar and click and drag on the document.
At this point, all the journaling lines should be selected. Nothing else on the element should be selected. See the screenshot below.
Step Three: Overlay the Lines
- Press Ctrl 0 (Mac: Cmd 0) to fit the element to your viewing window.
- In the Menu Bar, choose Select > Modify > Expand.
- In the dialog box, Expand By 2 px and click OK.
- The Magic Wand tool should still be the active tool.
- Press the Up Arrow key exactly 10 times.
The selection outline should have moved slightly above the journal lines.
- Press Ctrl C (Mac: Cmd C) to copy the selected pixels.
- Press the Down Arrow key exactly 10 times.
The selection outline should now be back overtop of the lines.
- Press Ctrl V (Mac: Cmd V) to paste the copied pixels over the lines.
The journal lines should have completely disappeared… like magic!
Step Four: Save With a Unique Name
- Save the line-less element (File > Save As) with a unique name as a PNG file.
- Close the original file without saving.
NOTE: Remember, even if you alter an element, you still need to give the designer credit.
Now the element can be used with a text box for journaling or even a fun title or quote.
And, here's how I used the line-less element on a greeting card.

Physicians older than 50 are motivated by a different set of factors than younger doctors, research suggests.
Physicians may not be as eager to retire as the industry has been led to believe, according to a recent survey of more than 400 physicians age 50 and older.
Overall, physician respondents said they intend to retire at age 68, compared to the average U.S. retirement age of 65.
The research was conducted by Hanover Research on behalf of locum tenens staffing firm CompHealth.
About half (51%) of respondents signaled interest in working part-time or only occasionally after retirement.
"That's good news," says Lisa Grabl, president of CompHealth. "With the physician shortage, we need all of the physicians who are able and willing to work we can get. We want to understand what will keep them engaged in the workforce."
The average respondent to the CompHealth survey respondents is 60 years old, works about of 45 hours per week, and has practiced medicine for an average of 28 years.
While a 2016 survey from the Physicians Foundation, indicated that close to half of the overall physician population plans to retire sooner rather than later, the motivations of later-career physicians are specific:
They're almost ready for retirement.
Out of the survey sample, 83% of physicians said they'd taken steps to prepare for retirement and 70% had taken advantage of employer retirement services such as a 401K or pension.
A 2015 study from Fidelity Investments, however, showed that physicians on average save just 9% of their incomes for retirement, short of the 15% recommended by finance professionals.
They value work-life balance.
If they got to do their careers over, 44% would have maintained a better work-life balance. "It came through loud and clear that physicians would have changed their careers if they understood what it was going to mean for their work-life balance," Grabl says.

Carter & Fitch – Bringing a taste of the US
Carter & Fitch, a brand new restaurant promising an authentic US dining experience has opened as a stand-alone restaurant situated on the site of the George Washington Hotel, on Stone Cellar Road. With the capacity to accommodate for up to 90 diners at a time, the restaurant also boasts a stunning outside terrace, offering additional space for customers.
Identified as an American smokehouse, pizzeria and bar, Carter & Fitch presents a culinary experience for diners that can only be described as delightful. Laid out on one ground level, the building displays a frontage with 10m wide bi-folding glass, and upon entry guests are greeted by a long L-shaped bar accompanied by stylish bar stools, with high tables and relaxed seating to the right hand side.
Construction company Mimarc Construction Ltd acted as the main contractor, developing the venue into a contemporary restaurant with an American diner feel to match the offering. Following the space round from the casual bar area, guests arrive at the more formal setting in which the restaurant is shaped, with restaurant style tables and chairs, place settings and menus.
A perfect venue for socialising, Carter & Fitch offers space for friends, couples and colleagues to catch up after work or over dinner. Providing mouth-watering US-style food and a spectacular range of cocktails is at the forefront of the venue's philosophy, in addition to offering a modern space that so happens to disclose a charming atmosphere.
Premier Hospitality caught up with Neel Chawla, Director at Carter & Fitch, to ask a few essential questions regarding the new restaurant. Neel commented:
"Carter & Fitch is one of our properties at the Mercure George Washington hotel – we wanted to introduce something a little different to Washington, so we decided to go for a non-hotel, more typical restaurant, something a bit more chic and high-street to be able to attract an outside trade.
"The soft opening took place on 11th January, ready for the official launch which was in early February, ready for Valentine's Day. The feedback so far has been very good. We have been surprised actually because we have only just started our marketing – we currently have most things in place and it is going well. Also we have had lots of interest from the local market, and people are excited to start drinking on the outside terrace in summer.
"The brief that we gave our designer acknowledged the fact that the smokehouses that have popped up around in recent years can be very industrial – whereas we wanted something a bit more relaxing, combining the comfort of the restaurant and the style of the bar.
"Finishes that we have integrated include retro tiling on the floor, brick slip walls and lots of old school vintage lighting, to create the desired mood and effect.
"A main feature of the venue is the 90²m outdoor terrace which has parasols for the summer time – that will be launched in April this year, ready for summer 2016."
Appetisers done the Italian way – known as Chicchetti on the menu – include Thai fishcakes with dipping sauce, bruschetta di pommadore and spicy voodoo wings for those who dare! Delectable 12" thin crust pizzas, hand stretched and fresh from the Italian oven come with a variety of garnishes, such as the Mare E Monti, pizza topped with seafood and mountain air dried ham; and the Big Easy, topped with pulled pork, Monterey jack cheese and Frank's hot sauce.
Diners can opt for a meaty choice straight from the smokehouse, with all meats from selected prime cuts, rubbed with Carter & Fitch's unique blend of spices and seasonings and infused overnight before being smoked in the Oklahoma smokehouse oven, low and slow until tasty and tender. Texas style pitmaster brisket, half smoked chicken with optional baste, and hot home smoked salmon fillet are just some of the options.
When asked whether there are plans for Carter & Fitch to expand in the future, Neel responded with:
"We will definitely expand to other hotels – however, as a starting point we really want to make sure that we get it all right with this site, before we branch out into different areas.
"We have had this in planning for the last three years – so it is a great feeling to be able to get our ideas onto paper and transform the concept into reality – and it is definitely an achievement for everyone involved."

Chalco (altépetl)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|13th century – 1521
|Tributary of the Aztec Empire (from 1465)
|Itzcahuacan, Tlalmanalco (de facto)
|Common languages
|Pre-Columbian Nahua religion
|Historical era
• Established
|13th century
• Aztec conquest
Chālco [ˈt͡ʃaːɬko] was a complex pre-Columbian Nahua altepetl or confederacy in central Mexico. It was divided into the four sub-altepetl of Tlalmanalco/Tlacochcalco, Amaquemecan, Tenanco Texopalco Tepopolla and Chimalhuacan-Chalco, which were themselves further subdivided into altepetl tlayacatl, each with its own tlatoani (king). Its inhabitants were known as the Chālcatl [ˈt͡ʃaːɬkat͡ɬ] (singular) or Chālcah [ˈt͡ʃaːɬkaʔ] (plural).
In the 14th and early 15th centuries, flower wars were fought between the Chalca and the Aztecs. Serious war erupted in 1446. According to the Amaqueme historian Chimalpahin, this was because the Chalca refused a Mexica demand to contribute building materials for the temple of Huitzilopochtli.[1] Chalco was finally conquered by the Aztecs under Moctezuma I in or around 1465, and the kings of Chalco were exiled to Huexotzinco.[2] The rulerships were restored by Tizoc in 1486, who installed new tlatoque.[3] Chalco paid more tribute to Tenochtitlan in the form of food than any other region in the Valley of Mexico, probably because of its fertile soil and location.[4]
The Spanish conquistadors Pedro de Alvarado and Bernardino Vázquez de Tapia reached Chalco in the fall of 1519. The Chalca allied with the Spaniards and participated in the defeat of the Aztecs.[5]:320 Hernán Cortés claimed Chalco for himself as an encomienda, but failed to maintain his possession of it. Chalco was designated a corregimiento by 1533.[6] Several places outside the traditional region of Chalco were added to it in colonial times.[7]
- Chalco de Díaz Covarrubias, current municipality, home to ancient Chalco altepetl and part of Greater Mexico City.

Here are the top ways you can manage the pain during your next tattoo removal treatment
Does tattoo removal hurt?
The short answer is that yes, laser tattoo removal can be painful.
There is a caveat, though:
People have different pain tolerances. So while some people may find tattoo removal painful, other people will find it more "uncomfortable."
Either way, we do everything in our power to ensure that the experience is as painless as possible.
We apply a powerful and effective numbing cream to the tattooed area. We also use a cooling system that is designed to counteract the heat or pain that you experience during laser tattoo removal.
Is there anything you can do to mitigate the pain of laser tattoo removal?
Although we do everything on our end to help with the pain, there are also things that you can do to help with the pain.
1. Ice the treated area
The skin around your tattoo will be inflamed after getting your tattoo treated.
A great way to lessen inflammation is to ice the afflicted area. And extreme cold (aka ice) is also a pain reliever. The nerves that are irritated, which is causing the pain, are being numbed. As a result, applying ice to your skin will provide temporary relief.
Ice is probably our number one recommendation because it's easy AND cheap.
Anybody can grab a reusable ice pack, keep it in the freezer, and use it when they need it.
2. Numbing creams
Numbing creams are our second recommendation.
Here's why:
They're super easy to use. People love creams because it takes less than 60 second to apply and rub in. From there you are able to go back to your everyday activities without having to worry about being limited.
That's one of the downfalls to using an ice pack – keeping an ice pack against your skin for 20 minutes at a time might not be reasonable for somebody who works.
There are certain numbing creams that you're able to get over the counter. Unfortunately the stronger creams require a prescription.
Look for numbing lotions that have lidocaine, benzocaine, tetracaine, or prilocaine. Those ingredients are all used in anaesthetics and can help provide pain relief..
3. Staying hydrated before you go in for your laser tattoo removal treatment.
The two options from above are post-treatment pain relievers.
Making sure you're hydrated is something that you should do before, during, and after your treatment.
Your skin is the largest organ in your body. And ensuring that you're hydrated will boost the health of your skin.
Just like any organ, your skin is made up of millions of cells. And your cells are mostly made up of water.
By drinking plenty of water, your skin will be moisturized, which has the potential to diminish pain.

Jeffrey converses with divinely inspired musical artist David Young. David delights with stories of his remarkable life of adventure, deep consciousness and joy as he shares his amazing stories of events in his life that contributed to his becoming an internationally acclaimed composer and musical performer with an enormous and enthusiastic global following.
Grammy nominated for Best Instrumental Album, David started playing the recorder in 3rd grade and has become one of the world's most well known recorder players, producing more than 40 CD's and selling over 1,000,000 copies.
What David Young does has never been done before. He has developed a method of playing two different size recorders at the same time, in harmony, which creates a sound that some call "the most beautiful music on Earth".
David's performances are visually and musically stimulating to any audience. Over the years, David Young has performed for Barbara Streisand, Elizabeth Taylor, Guns & Roses and Paul McCartney, who started a standing ovation for him at one of his performances.
David also shares his stories of performing with Ray Charles and how he connected with Keith Hefner, Heather McCartney and Kitaro.
His music has been played on hundreds of radio stations around the world, as well as, on the soap operas General Hospital, All My Children, and Passions.
David wrote, produced and acted in the movie, Village of Dreams, filmed at the world famous Kathe Wohlfahrt Christmas store in Rothenburg Germany, which aired on television over 250 times last year. A companion children's book was made along with the Village of Dreams movie.
He has also written and produced a musical called The Mystery of Destiny which has been performed at various theater's.
David Young travels 40 weeks of the year performing at corporate and special events, private parties, as well as schools, churches, and retirement communities.
Many listeners have had their lives touched by the angelic, relaxing quality of his beautiful modern instrumental music.
As David says about his musical gift to the world:
"All of this relaxing music comes from my heart and was created to give people a positive alternative, a sense of peace that makes life more enjoyable. I call it beautiful music because styles and their names come and go, but beautiful music will always be beautiful music.â€
I first heard David perform in Los Angeles 8 years ago, and from the first minute I was hooked - his music truly is beyond beautiful because of the deep connection it makes to soul itself, the source of all life. And it is this rare quality that is ever present in David musical recordings.
It is very healing, incredibly uplifting, and takes me completely out of my body beyond time and space to the realms of loves source where I can replenish the power of joy that feeds my soul. Music speaks the universal language of the heart, and David is fluent in that language.
I think you will really enjoy hearing from David in this interview as well as the music at the end which is a collection of samples from his collection of 40 CD's. I have been listening to David's enchanting light music for the last 8 years and have never tired of it's timeless uplifting quality.
David's rendition of "Here Comes The Sun" from his album Imagine, Volume 2 is played at the end of this interview.

Preparation of a programme for company acceleration in the life sciences sector
- Promotion of strategic sectors - Health and bio-research strong>
- 2014
- 2015
- Developing
- Operating
- Stand-by
Biocat and Barcelona Activa are leading the creation of a programme for the acceleration of biotechnology and medical technology businesses at the Barcelona Science Park, in order to give support to the best business projects in the health sciences sector. The programme gives continuity to such a successful experience consolidated in Catalonia as Bioemprenedor XXI.
Albert Barberà, CEO of Biocat, Fundació BioRegió de Catalunya
Biocat and Barcelona Activa are leading an initiative to support entrepreneurship and business growth in the life sciences sector in Barcelona and Catalonia. The programme aims to provide impetus to take innovative business projects towards more attractive phases for funding, as well as improving the international projection of the entrepreneurial community in the life science sector in Catalonia and encouraging collaboration with other communities. In the long term it aims to become a hub for acceleration programmes that allows an increase in the critical mass and capacities of the SMEs.
The programme will include three phases with well-differentiated objectives in order to adapt and provide a response to projects with a different degree of maturity:
- Phase I – Validation: with a duration of 4 months part-time, its objective is to validate the business model and team of the projects incorporated, through training and mentoring services and activities involving immersion in the ecosystem. It is estimated that between 15 and 20 projects will be incorporated in this phase, of which approximately half will be able to complete it as full-fledged companies.
- Phase II – Acceleration: with a duration of 8 months full-time, its objective is to provide support to the evolution of business projects to make them more attractive to public-private funding tools, through intensive services of training, mentoring, advice, activities involving immersion in the ecosystem, availability of spaces and access to scientific services and platforms at the Barcelona Science Park. It is estimated that six companies will join this phase once they have passed through a rigorous selection process with a jury, formed by experts from the life sciences sector. The project is working in parallel with a funding programme so that accelerated companies can have access to private capital. The ultimate objective is that at least three of these companies receive funding from the programme's investment partners.
- Phase III - Growth: the objective is to facilitate the growth of the accelerated company within the ecosystem of the Barcelona Science Park through advice as needed, spaces and access to scientific services and platforms.
During 2014 and 2015, work has been done on drawing up the programme's business plan. An annual frequency is envisaged as is the launch of the first edition for the end of 2015 or start of 2016.
The project is in the phase of the final drafting of the business plan, and the attracting and consolidation of alliances with future collaborators in the programme. The initial budget for the launch is shared 50% between Biocat and Barcelona City Council (through Barcelona Activa), however the programme plans to incorporate collaborating partners with individual contributions, both for the acceleration programme itself and for the funding programme.

Noida builds walls to help the needy
Priyanka Narula| TNN | Feb 26, 2017, 01.00 AM IST
A wall of kindness or 'Neki Ki Deewar' has been set up near gate number 7 of Sector 21 in Noida to help the poor and the homeless. This is the second such wall (one such wall is in Sector 25) that allows the residents of the nearby societies, government and non-government organisations to donate clothes and other items to the underprivileged people. The initiative has been started by Amritanshu Vaish of the Lucknow-based organisation, Indian Youth Forum (IYF), and Himanshu Gupta of Anandam Foundation, and has a specific theme – "If you don't need it, leave it. If you need it, take it."
ANOTHER HOOK ON THE WALL: The first wall which was erected in Sector 25, with donated clothes hanging on it
Graffiti with a message
Madhuri Agarwal, the leading member of this initiative in Delhi-NCR, who is also a professor and an architect, told us, "In this modern age, we are so caught up with our daily lives that we seem to have forgotten our responsibility towards the society. Keeping this thought in mind, we have constructed this wall, and are planning to set up 100 more such walls across India to help the underprivileged sections." She added, "People can donate books, clothes, bed sheets, shoes, and anything which is in good condition, and is usable."
Madhuri, along with her students at Galgotias School of Architecture, and students from Jamia Millia Islamia have painted the graffiti on the wall, highlighting on the importance of educating a girl child. Madhuri said, "We chose graffiti as a medium to express our thoughts, as we believe that visuals have a better impact on the society."
Anjali, a maid who was present at the launch, said, "Yeh humare liye bahut sahi hoga, iss se hum logon ko fayada bhi hoga, aur paisa bhi bachega." She added, "Free mein milega kya yeh sab? Humein police pakad kar le gayi toh?"

A wall for spreading social messages
The wall is not just a designated spot where people can leave clothes, shoes, books and other materials, but it can also be used as a platform for putting across social messages. "It can be used for spreading awareness on topics like 'Say No To Acid Attack', education for girls, gender equality, etc," added Madhuri.
At the launch, Vishakha Goel, a student of Ambedkar Institute of Advanced communications Technology and Research performed an act near this wall, giving the message — 'Stop Acid Attacks'.
D C Goel, chairman of Jalvayu Vihar Sehkari Awas Samiti, who was present at the event, said, "After getting an overwhelming response to the wall set up in Sector 25, we decided to set-up a wall in Sector 21."

If you're following me on Instagram you have probably seen a few of my posts regarding our new home! My husband and I are building a home right outside of our hometown of Wilmington, NC and we couldn't be more excited!
Any time you move, whether you're purchasing or renting, you have to get real with yourself about your expenses. Everyone has something in their budget that they could do without and save even a little bit of money. Kaleb and I love to go out to dinners and travel, but have had to pull back quite a bit in order to save for our new home.
Saving money for your dream home is totally doable with a few smart strategies. There are a lot of valuable tips for saving money, but you need to choose the ones that work for you. Even if a money-saving tip is a good one, it may not be something you can do or would be comfortable with. Keeping these tips in mind, you can figure out how to budget for a house, and get there more quickly than you might think.
I firmly believe that you should go out and do the things you want to do while you can. We have only one life to live, why not attempt your wildest dreams? Maybe you've always been interested in living on the West Coast? Have you been online looking at houses for sale in Los Angeles? Or maybe you're interested in a quieter pace somewhere out of the city limits? Do you dream of Appalachian mountain views or Gulf Coast sunsets ? No matter where your dream house is located, here are a few tips to help you save for it:
1. Set Up A Separate Account
Anytime you are trying to save money, it is best to put the funds in a separate bank account, preferably one at a completely separate bank. The reason being, you will be less tempted to pull funds for random emergencies, that aren't really emergencies.
This is exactly what we did when we purchased our condo in 2016. While this particular property was my own investment, Kaleb and I paid all the bills together and in turn needed a resource to combined our funds. We have one joint account specifically for setting our money aside to pay our bills together.
When we decided to buy a new home (which turned into building a new home,) we began using this account to also save money together. The process has proven to be beneficial so far. We know our new mortgage is going to be more than our current, so we are using the time in between to save money and get used to the change in our finances.
Because we only use this account for our regular bills (the mortgage, utilities, car payment, etc.) we don't have to worry about accidentally pulling from that account to fund nonessential.
Look for a bank that offers a good interest rate. When you are saving money to buy a house, you want your money inaccessible on a day to day basis, but at the time you don't want it tied up in stocks that could lose value quickly.
2. Reduce Your Expenses
This is the most obvious tip, yet most people consider it the hardest! Including myself!
Reduce your expenses 10% across the board. That means if your grocery budget is $500 a month, try reducing it $50 for a total budget of $450. That's not a huge difference, but the money will add up when you apply this technique to all your expenses. And soon enough you'll have enough money saved for that down payment.
A good place to start is entertainment, specifically your streaming and subscription services. I know, I know, how do you choose which one stays and which one goes? The answer might be more simple than you think.
Think about what you actually use. For me and my husband, we use Netflix, HBO, and Hulu on a weekly basis. Those are our go-to streaming services. In addition to those services, we used to pay for Sling as well.
When we did a major cutback on all our streaming services, we determined that we didn't use Sling nearly as much as we thought we did. It was also the most expensive of all of our streaming services. This service no longer fit into our lives and cost more than almost all of the other services combined so it was clearly the one that had to go.
I did the same thing with my various subscription services (which we'll talk about later) and it saved us a significant amount of money. If you follow a similar procedure with all of your expenses, in due time, you will have enough money for a down payment on your dream house.
3. Cut Back Spending
Its not just those reoccurring expenses that zap up your excess funds. It's no surprise, that little luxuries add up as well. So now's the time to cut back on that daily cup of coffee and those pricey meals out.
This can be the most challenging part of saving money for a new home. This is where you really need to consider your lifestyle and what you can realistically do without. For Kaleb and I, it was going out to dinner. Kaleb and I love to go out to dinner and have fun date nights together. This was something we used to do quite frequently, until we decided to buy a home. We had to cut back to just going out on the weekends, and now we try to even limit that. Instead of going out to dinner, we cook at home which is better for you wallet and healthier overall!
Other little luxuries that are easy to temporarily put on hold include gym memberships, magazine subscriptions, expensive books, massages, manicures, meal delivery services, haircuts, clothes and any other expenses that go unnoticed most months.
4. Get A Side Gig
If changing up your lifestyle spending habits isn't in the cards for you, you could try earning more money with a side gig. Save money faster by earning more cash.
A few examples of ways to earn extra income include selling the stuff that you already own. You could offer to sell other people's junk, but it's only fair that you give them a cut. Other ways, freelance writing, babysitting, dog walking, freelance photography, tutoring, or driving an Uber/Lyft.
My best advice for deciding what to pursue as your side gig is to consider the things you chose to do for fun. If you love animals, consider using apps like Rover or Wag! to earn a few extra bucks while hanging out with some adorable pups! If you love writing there are many freelance writing gigs that pay per word or page, depending on the specifications. There are all kinds of ways to earn a little extra on the side that don't require you to leave the comfort of your own home! A quick Google search can help you find the best side gig for your personal preferences.
5. Cancel Memberships
Clearly this is a really important aspect of saving money because this is the second time I'm bringing it up in this post!
Memberships and subscription services are a huge part of the modern American's budget. Almost everyone uses some sort of subscription service, whether its Amazon Prime, Chewy, or Hello Fresh. These fun and useful services can add up and increase ones budget without you even realizing it!
When it comes to subscriptions like gym memberships, you don't need to splurge to get in a workout. There are inexpensive options like Planet Fitness, where memberships cost just $10. If you haven't found yourself in the gym for months, maybe consider canceling it all together. It'll save you some money and remove the guilt factor. If you're subscribed to a magazine but don't read it very often, cancel it. If you've got a membership to a wholesale club but haven't been in two years, cut up the card.
If you still use your subscription service form time to time and aren't ready to cut ties with it completely, consider skipping a month. Most monthly services will give you an option to skip a month or put your account on hold. This can be a great option if you know you'll want to use it again, but need a short break.
Those are my tips for ya! If you have anything to add I would love to hear down in the comments. Let me know what you do to save money!

Looking On The Bright Side of
Types of Motorcycle Accident and How They Can Be Avoided
The number of motorcycle accident cases that have been reported is rising day by day. The rise in the rate is contributed by the reckless of the road users. You should ensure that you avoid being a victim of a motorcycle accident because of the severity of the injuries you will sustain. It is possible to safeguard yourself from accidents while on the road. Here are the things that you should do so that you can keep yourself from the different types of motorcycle accidents. Before that, you should ensure that you abide by the traffic rules. If you read this article, you will discover information on how to avoid some of the common forms of motorcycle accidents.
The first form of accident is the head-on. You should be careful about this type of accident since it is fatal. It happens when the two cars that are involved were moving in different direction. The intensity of collision of the cars involved is usually influenced by their speeds. If you are on top speed, then the intensity will be high. One of the ways that you can avoid this type of accident is watching the road ahead. Besides, you should always ensure that you are on your lane and avoid reckless overtaking. It is usually advisable to lower your speed if you see the opposite car in your lane.
The next form of accident is usually the rear-end collision. This type of accident is usually considered to be less severe. It happens when the car in from stops abruptly or the one behind fails to stop or slow down. The severity is usually high if motorcyclists are involved. If you want to be safe from this type of accident, you should practice strategic stopping. If you notice that the car ahead of your has stopped suddenly, you can consider moving to another lane. You should keep a safe distance with the road user ahead of you.
The other type of accident is hitting a car that is turning left. A left turn is considered to be dangerous since you can easily hit the car. You should avoid the accident although the fault is usually that of the turning car. The best solution is usually being watchful.
The last form of accident is usually the group accident. The accident usually result when one ride stops or turns suddenly. Therefore, you should be on the lookout for these types of accidents so that you can remain safe on the road.

1. Have your ceremony at the same location as your reception, advises Sarah Trotter, owner of Lasting Impressions Weddings and Event Coordination. You'll save money on rental fees, décor, transportation and more, in addition to cutting down on photography time.
2. If you're crafty, buying a DIY kit or pattern instead of a pre-made item can save you a quite a bit, says Sarah Beth Smith, owner of accessories line Deeds & Petunia. You can find a variety of wedding-related projects for sale on Etsy, including Smith's own kit for a birdcage veil and her pattern for a feather fascinator headband.
3. "I encourage my clients to cut the 'extra' items," Trotter says. "Things like favors, save-the-dates and extra 'fluff' will not be noticed by most guests. Instead, put that money into late-night snacks, gift bags at hotels for out-of- town guests, or a signature drink – something they will really remember."
4. Buy a vintage or second-hand dress, suggests Smith. "Not only will you save a bundle, you'll also be doing your part to reuse, recycle and revive a fabulous dress that might otherwise be collecting dust in someone's attic."
5. Trotter's favorite way to really personalize a wedding day – and give guests a "piece" of you – is in the place cards/escort cards. If you're into the outdoors, try writing each guest's names on a lake rock. For a vintage theme, consider using antique keys. Or, for a cheerful statement, tie or pin a name card to a piece of local fruit, such as an apple, pear, peach or lemon. All these options can also do double-duty as a favor.
6. Save cash on florals by doing a few submerged stems instead of large arrangements, paired with a variety of candles, Trotter says. Cheap has never looked so fresh and chic.

Ok, so this is a bit of off topic, but I just could not leave it unmentioned.
Everyone is talking that Linux is crap just because there are no games that run natively under Linux and I'm not talking about the GPL-d games and the community "hacked" games. All the big game companies are wining about the lack of standard game development api-s and libraries, but they exist and they just don't have the coders to port the games to Linux as they are only built on top of the windows DirectX api-s and are not written in consideration for other rendering api-s. So its simpler to blame the Linux for lacking api-s than admit that it would take around 3 years to totally rewrite an existing game to Linux.
Well, I'm glad that one small firm has written a game that runs natively under Linux. The game is called Uplink and the company is Introversion.
This game has existed for a while (ummm 4+ years) and as I have not played games for a while I found that it had a native Linux version built also :)
Ok, the game is not really big and fancy for its graphics, but starting from version 1.3 it looks like its windows counterpart. As I'm found of my 1600x1200 resolution the 1.3 version is the milestone that proves that it is doable. Maybe it is not as simple to make a 3d FPS than a 2d strategy/RPG but it just show that the potential is there and that the big companies should stop hiding behind the "lack of api-s" and start thinking of the market share the Linux games will be taking in the near future. Especially when the "Completely Fair Queue" has been implemented in the Linux kernel starting from 2.6.23.
As a side note - an old goddy also exist "Railroad Tycoon" run through OpenTT works also perfectly :)
PS!: I love my vacation so far :)

One benefit of shorter days and crisp evenings is the ability to light a fragrant candle, and get your "hygge" on with a blanket, a book, and a mug of steaming something. There are many cozy fall candle scents to choose from; here are a few office favorites.
Bath and Body Works is widely known for all things fragrant. Entering one of their brick and mortar shops at the mall can be almost an assault on the olfactory system – not the most subtle fragrances around. But if you really want to get all of the autumn feels in your home, this candle will definitely do the job.
Bath and Body Works Campfire Pumpkin, $24.50
If you're looking for a more elegant presentation in your candle, check out the Woods Candle from Paddywax. This company hand pours all of their soy candles in the US. This particular scent presents a more subtle autumnal fragrance – of leather and cedar leaf.
The Pumpkin Chai candle from Nest is developing a major cult following. The chai element really does add a unique layer of fragrance that is like no other. These candles are made with a high-end, refined, cosmetic-grade wax to optimize burn and fragrance diffusion.
, $40
If you're not familiar with Scentsational Candles, you should be. These are premium, clean burning soy candles without the markup. I've even seen them at HomeGoods. They have so many great aromas to choose from, and the price point is spot on. Scentsational for the win!
Scentsational Falling Leaves, $17

Second- and third-grade students, along with their families, from Great Neck Road Elementary School enjoyed an evening together at Family Literacy Night on Feb. 6.
Students gathered in their respective classrooms to enjoy the book "Dragon Was Terrible" by Kelly DiPucchio. After discussing their thoughts on the main character and his behavior with their teacher and peers, the students made their own "dragon treats," complete with green icing, horns and colored eyes to take home and enjoy. There was also a take-home worksheet that students could bring back to school for a special prize from their teacher.
