My Favorite 18 Things to do Krakow – Understand
Krakow is a great combination of a historic (but beautifully restored) Old Town and American-style, bubbling entrepreneurship with food and drink options. The city avoided destruction during WWII and has built out a tourist industry and a sophisticated service industry on top of that.
Krakow feels more like a US city with its many top-notch eateries and its Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Krakow is extremely affordable – expect to pay one third or half what you pay in the US for similar quality. The city is filled with busy yet friendly people (more so than in Wroclaw), who know enough English to easily communicate with.
Krakow has a continental, dry climate with very cold winter days and many days with 90+ degrees in summer.
My Favorite 18 Things to do Krakow – Get Around
Krakow is a developed city with a good infrastructure. However, due to the crowded Old Town space, there isn't much room for cars in general. Stick to walking in the Old Town and river area.
Beyond that, I used Uber, which had plenty of cars and excellent drivers. UberPOP rides here are $2-$3 in town and $12 to the airport (about a 45-minute ride). There are plenty of blue trams around that seemed very popular with locals, too.
My Favorite 18 Things to do Krakow – Safety
Like most Polish towns, Krakow is extremely safe. The biggest issues are the (former) prevalent tourist scams. The Wikitravel page for Krakow has a long list of common scams, like money exchange, taxi and bar scams. Guess what – I had an easy time avoiding them since I avoid seedy bars, local taxis and money exchangers anyways. But keep in mind, if something does not seem right, just walk away.
My Favorite 18 Things to do Krakow – Sights
Krakow Old Town
Rynek Główny (Main Market)
Krakow's Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site and rightly so! It will impress you with its grand plaza and the many cathedrals.
The Old Town is surrounded by a green belt called Planty Park – a great oasis during the hot summer days.
There isn't much else to do in the Old Town and the many coaches for hire and general touristy feel spoiled the impression for me somewhat. You will certainly not be the only one exploring the town on any given day.
Zamek Królewski na Wawelu (Wawel Castle)
This central Krakow castle lies just outside the Old Town towards the Vistula River (also known as Wisła River), which it has grand views over.
The castle offers free admission on Sundays or Mondays depending on the season. There are several museums and a cathedral that each charge another entrance fee. The fees are low but add up and you will have to line up again and again. I simply skipped the museums and enjoyed the views on a wonderful clear day.
Muzeum Sztuki Współczesnej w Krakowie (MOCAK) (Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakow)
This contemporary art museum is hailed as one of the best in Poland. It was closed when I had the opportunity to stop by but you should add it to your list.
Forum Przestrzenie and River Walk
Forum is a rather ugly building (a former Soviet-style hotel that opened in the 80s) along the Vistula River. However, it is now used as a fake summer beach with a cool outdoor bar. The former 'concrete palace' is covered by an enormous advertising banner.
The walk along the Vistula is a great way to discover the rest of Krakow and see it from a new perspective. It's especially nice at sunset time in summer.
Muzeum Auschwitz-Birkenau (Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum)
The Birkenau and Auschwitz concentration camps were the two biggest concentration camps in WWII and the scenes of some of the biggest crimes of humanity in human history. The site is now a museum. Entrance is free of charge and you can take a guided tour or explore by yourself. There is a rail/bus service or try Uber if you want to drive out.
Wieliczka Salt Mine and Bochnia Salt Mine
Krakow has two impressive salt mines (of the two, Wieliczka is a World Heritage site) that go underground for 200 miles and several hundred feet deep. There is even an underground church at Wieliczka. Uber can take you there as well for a small amount.
My Favorite 18 Things to do Krakow – Eat & Drink
Much to my surprise, the food and drinks scene in Krakow is worth visiting by itself; there are so many excellent options that you can spend several weeks in town and you will still discover new places.
The Jewish Quarter Kazimierz and the hipster area west of the Old Town are your best hunting grounds, though lots of options are spread around town.
OMG, the hummus here is amazing; that's what you will think every time you stop by this tiny hummus shop. After a proper introduction in Tel Aviv and Beirut, I have become a major hummus fan (I make it myself, too). Hummus Amamamusi is just fantastic – every hummus option we tried was spectacular. It's also rather cheap and the staff are extremely kind. This place rocks!
Piekarnia Mojego Taty (My Dad's Bakery)
Right next door to Hummus Amamamusi is a bakery with excellent Jewish breads and pastries for under 20 cents each. Don't miss it.
Around the corner from Hummus Amamamusi is Bagelmama and Hamsa – but I never made it to either of them, since I could not go by the hummus shop without eating there. Both are meant to be great options in the Jewish Quarter though.
A few steps outside the Jewish Quarter is this upscale bakery that apparently does Poland's best cheesecake. I tried the coffee cake which was excellent and to my surprise the 'flat white' was a delight as well.
Wesola Cafe is an incarnation of a Melbourne-style coffee shop. It has an airy but lively atmosphere, with fantastic coffee, great breakfast food and fresh juices. It's complemented by a lovely patio, fast WiFi and low prices. I was in heaven!
Oriental Spoon does very healthy and somewhat authentic bibimbap bowls. I had the tofu bowl for just $5 and it was so good I wanted another one right away. It is a small shop that's filled with friendly people.
Poco Loco looks like a Chipotle copy gone bad; it certainly does not look like authentic Mexican food. We did dot have high hopes for our $5 burrito and quesadilla, but boy were we wrong – it was delicious, with fresh ingredients and a taste I've never had from Mexican food before. I'm not sure how it's done but try it!
Weźże Krafta is the last of the many restaurants and bars in the area of a long-closed factory. It has the right charm of abandoned chic. The beers I tried were fantastic and cheap and the many restaurants around looked fancy but affordable by any US standard. This was a place I would have liked to explore much longer than I had time for.
Although close to the river, Pizza Garden is in a terrible location, near a major thoroughfare in an old building. It looks like your grandfather's old beer jaunt. Make no mistake though – Pizza Garden officially makes the best pizza in a 500-mile radius. We had a 'big' pizza for $5 which would be well-ranked even in Naples or New York. It was so good that we wanted another one. Come here when you are hungry – anytime!
BarAWino has a lovely location just along a little square and offers wines aplenty to try inside and on the outdoor patio. Great spot!
My Favorite 18 Things to do Krakow – Where to Stay
There is no shortage of chain hotels in town. The Sheraton Grand likely has the best location, right next to the castle at the river.
I chose the Hampton by Hilton, which is quite a trek to the east in an area that was built up for the 2012 FIFA World Cup. The hotel is one of the few remaining Category 1 properties for just 5,000 points per night. The hotel has small rooms but excellent WiFi, lovely showers, perfect AC and offers a free breakfast.
Room rates easily exceed EUR 100 in summer for this Hampton (which shares the same building, but not the facilities, with the DoubleTree). I found it VERY similar to the Hampton by Hilton in Barranquilla in Colombia. It is a great value redemption and Uber gets you anywhere in 15 minutes for $2.

HARRISBURG, PA — Insurance Commissioner Jessica Altman announced the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has resumed selling flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), reversing an earlier decision to limit sales due to the federal government partial shutdown.
"I'm pleased that the federal government has recognized the importance of ensuring that property owners who live in flood-prone areas need the ability to purchase flood insurance through the NFIP," Altman said. "An interruption in sales would have been extremely risky for property owners who are required to purchase flood insurance in high-risk areas, or who want to take steps to protect their property."
Congress recently renewed the NFIP's authority to operate, but with the federal government shutdown, FEMA limited the ability of the NFIP to issue new policies. Facing growing backlash from legislators and business groups, FEMA reversed this decision late Friday. The government shutdown has no impact on private flood insurance policies.
Homeowners who live in Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) with federal-government backed mortgages, and most other mortgages, are required by their lenders to have flood coverage.
The NFIP provides flood insurance to homeowners, renters and businesses located in a flood zone, but flood insurance is also available to any property owner or renter, regardless of their location, through private insurers, including surplus lines insurers.
For more information about flood insurance, visit the Insurance Department's flood insurance webpage by visiting insurance.pa.gov and clicking on the "Flood" icon. The page has information about both the NFIP and private insurance, and a list of producers and insurers selling private coverage.

Adeste Fideles on the background. Just thinking of writing something because it has been a long time since I last wrote. Not that I am running out of ideas. As usual, there is this steady stream of ideas and imaginary conversations going in and out of my tiny little brain. It is just I am too lazy to write, I guess.
So here I am, trying to put into actual written words the things on going in my head. Well, I just bought something for myself. It is nothing much, but I think Snow is an evidence that hard work pays off. There might be set back in work for the past two months, but there is a new year ahead.
This is nothing but a random babble, as usual. Nothing insightful really.
PS. I am playing Sims 3 again, and God I missed this game!

Greeks and Germans debate the future of Europe next Monday
Greeks and Germans in Thessaloniki and Mainz will discuss their shared future as IDEA UK and the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung will host their second Greek-German debate on Monday, November 4 at 18:30 CET / 19:30 EET on the topic Europe: Political Union or Trade Bloc?The debate is part of the Dialogue Without Borders series that started this summer with a debate that took place concurrently in Patras and Hamburg. The guest speakers are:
- In favour of political union: Constantin Schuessler (Maastricht University), Nikos Vrantzis (Young European Federalists),
- In favour of trade bloc: Stratos Karakassides (Greek Association of Political and Economic Science Students), Malte Kilian (JGU Mainz)
The venues are:
- In Thessaloniki: Goethe-Institut, Vassilissis Olgas 66
- In Mainz: Historisches Institut, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz
You can watch the debate live and find out more about this series on our project website at http://dwb.idebate.org.About the projectAs Greece and Germany dominate each other's headlines and political discourse due to the financial crisis and the subsequent bail-outs, we aim to tackle the fact that polarised, uninformed and populist opinions tend to turn the citizens of one country against the other, while there is very little to any engagement between the politics or society of the two countries.Taking advantage of live streaming technology, we aim to host a series of public debates in each public country. These public debates will take place concurrently in Greece and Germany. There will be two participants and a moderator in each live location, where one of the speakers will be for a given motion and the other will be against.Linking public events in both countries allows us to create interactive discursive spaces with a live audience, increasing the impact of the public event as such and informing public opinion on the different perspectives on the issues that affect the relationship between Greece and Germany.Dialogue without Borders is a partnership between the International Debate Education Association (UK) and the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, supported by the Debating Society of Greece, DCJG Mainz and RadioMOF.

In Algarve, you can count on a yearly average of more than 300 sunny days. On the west coast, there is a fresh breeze blowing from the ocean, keeping the temperatures in summer at a very comfortable level of 35°C and in winter we still have an average temperature of 17°C.
The western Algarve offers furthermore the rest and the untouched nature in contrast to the tourist center at the south coast, which is only 20 minutes away.
The beautiful nature of the Natural Park, extensive walk-and bicycle routes around the Rota Vicentina (GR11 E9) and the beautiful isolated beaches which are characterized almost all year , by the perfect waves for surfing, are the strengths for the active tourist.
The picturesque villages in the vicinity like Aljezur, Carrapateira and Lagos offer a lot of possibilities to enjoy the delicious Portuguese cuisine.

Kim Kardashian-West is no stranger when it comes to dishing about her personal life on social media and beyond.
Whether you're a fan of the SKIMS founder or not, it's hard to deny her dedication to always speaking candidly and openly about the things that she's craving, buying or interested in -- even when it comes to something as seemingly simple as cleaning products.
The reality star took it to Twitter on Monday to ask her followers about a product she saw on the fan-favorite competition show, 'Shark Tank':
Who else watches the show Shark Tank and orders the product online? I just saw these good cleaning products and I hope they work! They seem amazing and exactly what we need for our planet! Gonna send you a link to see if anyone has tried them. I want to know if they really work.— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) December 30, 2019
"Who else watches the show Shark Tank and orders the product online? I just saw these good cleaning products and I hope they work," Kardashian tweeted, "They seem amazing and exactly what we need for our planet! Gonna send you a link to see if anyone has tried them. I want to know if they really work."
We love Kardashian-West's dedication to knowing as much as she can about a product before purchasing it, but something tells us it shouldn't make too much of a dent in her bank account if she ends up opting for other cleaning supplies.
The mother of four followed up in a second tweet, linking to the actual line of products she hoped to see success with called Blue Land:
Has anyone tried this? Sounds amazing but do they work? I just ordered it after seeing on Shark Tank! - Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products | Blueland https://t.co/dbgLtTlcsi— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) December 30, 2019
The eco-friendly cleaning company offers customers varying sizes of cleaning kits and supplies that consist of nickel-sized tablets (that activate when mixed with water) and reusable cleaning bottles that give customers $2 refills for life.
Here are some of our favorite products offered by Blue Land:
Blue Land Hand Soap Starter Set (1 Signature Glass Bottle, 1 Foaming Hand Soap Tablet Iris Agave Scent), $12
Blue Land The Clean Essentials (3 Reusable Cleaning Bottles, 1 Reusable Foaming Hand Soap Bottle, 4 Tablets), $38
Kardashian-West also gave an honorable mention to another 'Shark Tank' contestant on the same episode that she had actually met before with her family:
Wait who just saw this girl on Shark Tank doing facial yoga? She was on KUWTK giving us a lesson. It was pretty legit but she didn't get a deal 😢 pic.twitter.com/NzM8Sed3af— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) December 30, 2019
The sad face emoji says it all!

Theft charges against Northampton woman dismissed
Charges against Nancy Whitley dropped Wednesday
A state judge has dismissed larceny charges against a Northampton woman who was accused of embezzling money connected to a failed project to build condominiums catering to older gay and lesbian people.
Hampshire Superior Court Judge Mary-Lou Rup dismissed the charges against Nancy Whitley on Wednesday.
Rup said a full recording of a police interview of Whitley wasn't played for the grand jury that indicted her, and a police detective's grand jury testimony presented a "distorted version" of Whitley's involvement.
Whitley and her former spouse, Heather Whitley, were charged in the disappearance of $146,000 in deposits by potential owners of the condos planned for Easthampton in 2006 and 2007.
Charges remain pending against Heather Whitley, who has pleaded not guilty.
Nancy Whitley said she had no involvement in the theft.

The Reptile Roadshow came in to work with our Year 1 class and it was absolutely brilliant!! Richard had a great manner with the children and was very patient with all 30 of them. They were engaged and excited by all the Reptiles and most were willing to hold or touch them (even the more reserved children). Have recommended to others in the school as the children were still buzzing about it the next day! We had some fantastic literacy work after and our photos are great.
Thank you!

The day began early. Primarily because today was a day for celebrating retirees, excellence in education, and the "big" anniversaries of colleagues who have worked for the district for five - or a multiple of five - years. After a delicious breakfast, with the entire faculty and staff in attendance, we would head out to our professional development seminars for the day. So I went in 2 hours before the prescribed 8 am start, hoping to finish the stack of paperwork on my desk, and finish the "summer readiness" look to my room.
In less than an hour, the Special Ed Director stopped by to chat. Honestly, I think today was the first day of the school year that she actually had the opportunity to take a breath, as the scope of her job also includes nurses, counselors, speech pathologists, psychologists, learning support, gifted support, and all of Pupil Services. (Remember, this is a small district! Many people wear many hats!) She was asking questions about competitive colleges, and where our kids are headed, and we scheduled some meetings for late August.
Giftedland is a cycle. Write a GIEP, revise it a few months later, meet again and write another. Gather data, Gather input, schedule, and kill trees with the sheer volume of paper required to satisfy the state. And even with the introduction of computers, online learning, hybrid learning, and anything else requiring a screen or a keyboard, there are still many, many, many, pieces of paper, tangible resources, and projects too good to part with, so the cabinet doors close, at the end of the school year, just a little more full than the year before.
Messiness is part of the educational process. Josh Block had a great article on Edutopia recently that pretty much summed up my understanding of the hazards of Project Based Learning, because when kids get excited, teachers get emotional about final projects. It's tougher, sometimes, for teachers to dispose of these treasures, having watched the struggles straight through to fruition.
As the DJs say on Friday afternoons, "Stick a fork in it, it's done." Yes, the year is over. 189 days of 2014-15 are in the books.
Tomorrow, as I attempt to clean out my car of the things deemed "too important to leave at school", the planning for 2015-16 will commence. (But only after I sleep in. I think I'll arise at 6:30).

If you've always wanted to attend an interactive cooking show, Pearson School of Culinary Arts (PSCA) has a Master Class for you. Initially developed as an enrichment activity for the Market Fresh Cuisine program, Master Class is changing its focus this year. The class will be offered in the evening. This will allow more guests to attend the unique event.
Chef instructor Michel Ross explains that the objective of the Master Class "is to promote the teaching, sharing and collaboration found in our trade, as well as our department's work with our industry partners."
The Master Class will give local foodies the opportunity to mingle with some of the city's top chefs. Over the course of the school year, seven chefs will visit PSCA and share their expertise and passion with local foodies and budding chefs. Each Master Class will have a different theme. Set up like an interactive cooking show, participants will have an opportunity to watch a chef demonstrate his/her dish, ask questions, and taste the evening's culinary creation. Chef instructor Nancy Gagnon explains that each class "will introduce guests to a very established and talented Montreal chef. It is for people who are interested in ingredients (information, preparation, professional techniques/tips) as well as food's sensory properties (presentation, tastes, textures)."
Classes will be held on Monday evenings in Le Saucier, the school's gourmet-class dining room. The cost of each Master Class will vary, depending on the dish being prepared.
The year's first class will be held on Monday, October 29 at 7 pm. Theo Lerikos, chef/owner of Tuck Shop restaurant, will demonstrate how to create autumn bounty quick meals. Mr. Lerikos is a graduate of the Professional Cooking program at PSCA.
The first class costs $20. Participants need to call 514-363-6213 to reserve their place. Cash payment is made at the door.

What if you can score a cute date on Tinder and get a free meal in the process? It's that kind of question that started a blog on Tumblr called Swipes for Swipes. According to the Washington Post, "if you have extra meal swipes in AU's dining halls, add the line 'I have spare meal swipes' to your bio on Tinder, the mobile dating app. If you're short on dining credits, add the line 'I need a meal swipe.' Then set your search distance to one mile and wait for meals (or meal dates!) to roll in."
Julia Reinstein, an American University junior, created Swipes for Swipes, writing in her Tumblr post, "Now everything in your life is better. That's symbiosis, folks."
We at the Clog asked ourselves what it would be like if UC Berkeley students did something similar to Swipes for Swipes. Assuming that Reinstein just wanted to utilize Tinder as a tool to either get rid of spare meal points or get a free meal swipe — with no romantic undertones — we think this could work. Imagine, if you, a UC Berkeley student with an abundance of meal points, were feeling philanthropic. You could help out a fellow Bear in need with this new strategy. In this case, Tinder can also be used for giving away textbooks or setting up study groups!
But we're pretty sure this would turn into a way to organize "meal dates" — which definitely makes things a little weird. You'd pretty much be setting up a "date" at Crossroads (ew) that only one of you is paying for. There's also no way to know if the person is just swiping you for meal points or actually finds you physically attractive (the nerve!). But not to worry. According to the Washington Post, Swipes for Swipes at AU "doesn't seem to have caught on."

An ambush on the way to becoming a good speaker
I used to have a girlfriend who came from other country. As time went by, she became able to speak Japanese well, which made me forget she was a person coming from other country. I remembered she was not Japanese when she unconsciously expressed her thoughts or ideas in negative ways or harsh tones. Any couple can sometimes hit a raw nerve with each other. I often taught her which words or expressions were adequate in right time, right place. Incidentally, she was so smart that she deliberately used such malicious words or phrases while we were fighting lol.
I'm not saying I am a good English speaker, though, at least I think I've been growing more than I used to be since I decided to learn English again. I've become able to express my feeling or ideas in English more than before, like my ex in Japanese. However, I sometimes think that some of people might become irritated at what I said or wrote in English, like myself when I went out with my ex.
Such things can even happen between English learners. I can be the one who becomes angry with what someone else unconsciously said or wrote. I can be the one who makes someone else angry with my expressions without being aware of their malevolence. Both of the situations will become valuable experiences to me for a learner. However, I think I should factor the distance between someone else and me in my abusive objection against someone's remarks without intention to be rude. Maybe he/she might feel terrified of my anger, and the relationship might end easily. I would feel sad if the relationship finished abruptly.
Anyway, I would like to have much more experiences, including mistakes, and I would like to notice inadequate usages and correct them by myself while using English. Or I would be shot or hit by someone in real if I unconsciously gave impolite words or attitude.

San Francisco's on-demand transportation firm, Lyft has reportedly finalized the acquisition of North America's largest bike-share operators, Motivate, for some $250 million, and has recently announced plans to expand the firm's bike-rental services, Citi Bike in the New York City.
Apparently, Lyft recently pulled in a fresh funding of $600 million from backers AllianceBernstein, Fidelity Research & Management, KKR, Baillie Gifford, CapitalG, Rakuten and others, and as part of the deal, plans to pour $100 million in New York's Citi Bike, increasing the number of bikes available to 40,000 by 2023.
Bill de Blasio, the Mayor of New York City, said that Lyft's proposal to expand Citi Bikes would provide thousands of New Yorkers access to a fast and inexpensive way to commute around the city, offering a more reliable service for riders who use Citi Bike to travel.
Reportedly, a Lyft spokesperson was quoted saying that a significant share of the new fleet of Citi bikes will be dock-based electric bikes, as the firm plans to build on the success of Citi Bike as a dock-based system.
For the record, in early 2018, Lyft launched its first fleet of scooters in Denver, so as to compete with bike-sharing giants, Bird and Lime who now garner billion-dollar valuations and offer bike-sharing services worldwide.
As per an official statement, Lyft said that its scooters in Denver have been a success, and now the firm offers bike-sharing services in Santa Monica and Washington through its mobile app, a list likely to expand in the year 2019.
Sources close to the deal suggest that Lyft, with its recent acquisition, will be providing ride services for Motives Bluebikes (Boston Metro area), Ford GoBike (San Francisco Bay area), Biketown (Portland), Divvy (Chicago), Capital Bikeshare (Washington, D.C. metro area), Nice Ride (Minneapolis), and CoGo (Columbus, Ohio).

From a down to earth persective anxiety usually relates to health, wealth and happiness. It is said we do not fully appreciate good health until we lose it - or that all the money in the world cannot buy good health or happiness. Nevertheless without good health and suffcient income life can be a difficult and depressing experience.
God knowing all these things and the reasons for them, indicates He can heal our anxieties by bringing hope into our lives through our knowing and acceptance of His existence and the great love He has for us.
Are we worrying too much about our health and wealth, thereby hoping to find happiness, instead of securing happiness in our knowledge and trust in God's providence?
'Feelings of anxiety can stem from a lack of knowledge of that which makes you anxious. I your God am All Knowledge, therefore seek from Me by faith and trust, the hope contained in the knowledge that I Am. As a loving Father, I do not want you to be anxious, but to be happy. To have love in the knowledge that you are indeed (in - deed) loved, loved by me, your God, your Creator, your King.'

- I had a WONDERFUL time visiting my friend last night. New babies are all pink and squishy and so sweet. I sat in baby bliss for over an hour, just cuddling. We had a nice visit, and I am so glad I went. $20 well spent for the sitter.
- Gift for my friend....not sure if this falls into the "regift" category or what. I have a box of brand new baby clothes that I was saving in case we had another one (that ship sailed a long time ago!!). So I picked out a few things for her. She loved them, and was glad that the baby would have a few new things for him (he has an older brother, so most of his clothes will be hand me downs).
- Wedding shower....we bought a $25 gift card from the grocery store (so we get the gas points), and I have a $25 gift card that I got as a gift..so I have $50 for her gift. As I said, I have a coupon that starts on Friday, and if her items go on sale, even better. If I am able to get her gift for closer to the $25....I will spend the other GC on a new bra (yeah, when the fabric is worn away and you can see the filling of the band, and one hook is missing, and the other 2 are bent.....it MAY be time to replace it)
- Root canal...as I stated before, that money is coming from our EF, and when FSA pays out, it will go back to EF. I am happy that we have the EF at a level that we can do this. (I need to update all my side bars, but as of this week, EF is up to $1,267!)
And as a note....NONE of the above is on a CC. Oh, and our scripts yesterday....$87. UGH. But the most expensive one won't need to be renewed until next year....and all of that will be reimbursed by FSA.

Creating an environment that enables the development of mental skills; resilience, grit, the ability to perform under pressure and mental toughness
From little things, big things grow and that's definitely true of mental toughness.
Mental toughness is like a muscle that needs to be exercised regularly. In this article we'll examine whether we as Coaches are providing Millennials (or any aged athlete) with enough opportunities to grow the mental skills that produce award-winning performances.
To open the article I'd like to share a story that Bo Hanson, our Senior Consultant recounted about a weekend at the beach. It went like this. . .
"We're walking through the car park at our local beach, everyone was keen to get in the water, the sun was shining, there was a slight breeze and I could hear the ocean's clean fresh break in the background. In our home we have a rule about going to the beach; 'if you want to ride it, you gotta' carry it'".
Bo's back-story is that he has two young daughters who, like all children on the cusp of being a teenager, need guidance to develop self-sufficiency. He explained that they pack their own bags, apply their own sunblock and carry their own gear. Organizing yourself sounds like a small thing, but when it comes to mental skills the small things develop into big things.
Bo says, "sometimes it seems tough when the girls are carrying all their own gear but, by contrast we saw another family in the car park of the same beach and the mum, laden with bags, towels and two surfboards, struggled from the car all the way up the beach while her teenage son, walked along beside her empty-handed. This incident was a poignant reminder to me of how well-intentioned people who want to help their kids are actually disabling them from independence."
Every environment, no matter how formal or informal, is an opportunity to develop independence and mental skills, especially sporting environments.
The challenge for Coaches and support staff is to allow their athletes to look after themselves. This process is sometimes difficult for those in charge – athletes will often take a temporary step backwards to make large steps forwards.
The question Coaches and support staff need to ask themselves is, "are you creating an enabling or disabling environment for mental toughness?"
Enabling and Disabling Environments
Every team, whether they be at a development level, Division I, national or professional level is stronger when the individual team members are stronger, more able to make decisions for themselves and have effective recovery strategies. Every athlete makes mistakes – the best recover the quickest.
These qualities come together to form a framework for mental toughness. And, like any other technical or physical skill set they can be developed over time. Independence, time management, resilience and self-organization are not qualities that some people are born with while others are not. These skills fall on a spectrum, some people begin with more and others with less but that does not mean they are not capable of developing them.
Environments where well-meaning Coaches and support staff do everything for their athletes, from handing them clean towels to picking up after them and planning game day strategies are actually quite disabling in terms of independence, resilience and mental toughness.
Environments where athletes have to organize themselves or suffer the consequences of being unorganized, hold each other accountable for their performance and behavior, and contribute to performance improving strategies, enable the development of the mental toughness framework.
For example in rowing, whether athletes are racing individually or in a crew, time management is critical. In racing, athletes have to allow time to organize equipment, warm up and row to the start of their race. They prepared for the race without their Coach, who is on a bike beside the course. In training the Coach often looks after a number of crews and consequently can't be present with each group for all of the training session.
Athletes who can organize themselves, make their own decisions, implement their own improvements and carry out race day strategies quickly demonstrate a competitive advantage. While the consequences are not as immediate in every sport, the competitive advantage is.
Comparatively consider Millennials, this generation of athletes grew up playing highly structured and organized sport. They were not dropped off at school early, so they could experience as much "free play" as what older generations enjoyed. Everything they've done has been monitored and controlled by older Coaches, teachers and parents.
This prompts the question, 'do Millennials lack mental toughness or do their environments foster dependency?'
This high level of involvement from parents and Coaches often results in athletes who're dependent on the structure that's created for them and they may need assistance to transition to a state of independence.
Bo Hanson, Senior Consultant for Athlete Assessments explained that he works with a lot of Coaches faced with this situation, but often they don't interpret it in the same way.
He says, "Coaches often think about mental skills or toughness as a fixed state, rather than something they can grow and develop."
"Coaches can have a big impact on their players just by creating an enabling environment, an environment which helps them stand on their own two-feet and develops their abilities to solve their own problems. This kind of environment creates resilient and resourceful athletes."
Many Coaches want their athletes to have it all. They want refined athletic ability, the kind of ability that's derived from highly targeted talent identification programs and early interventions. But also, they still want their athletes to know how to lead, be tough and take a Coach's sometimes direct and blunt feedback.
Hanson says, that from his observations and conversations with more than 45,000, athletes, Coaching and support staff it's extremely rare for a fully developed athlete with all these capabilities to turn up in a program or team at any level.
It was exactly this under-resourced problem that prompted Hanson to develop Athlete Tough, a step-by-step workbook and video series.
Importantly, the program doesn't require any interpretation. It's ready to implement and takes athletes and Coaches through chapters about Staying in The Game, Teaching Toughness, Bouncing Back, Mastering Accountability, The Most Critical Relationship in Sport and Staying Tough Under Pressure. It develops the athlete's mental skill set by engaging them in reflective journaling, activities and exercises.

Second-seeded Sharapova was broken once in the first set before winning the last eight games of her 6-3, 6-0 fourth-round victory over No. 21-seeded Peng Shuai. Seventh-seeded Bouchard, who reached the semifinals or better at the first three Grand Slam tournaments last year, won nine of the first 10 games against Irina-Camelia Begu, but lost seven of the next nine to be pushed to a third set for the first time in the tournament. After serving a double-fault on set point to end the second, Bouchard took a short break before returning to complete a 6-1, 5-7, 6-2 win over No. 42-ranked Begu, who had taken out No. 9-seeded Angelique Kerber in the first round. I gave myself a good, long hard look in the mirror, Bouchard explained of her brief absence from Rod Laver Arena. I said, Genie, this is unacceptable. I really kind of kicked myself in the butt a little bit. After three straight-sets wins, Bouchard joked that she went three sets for a couple of reasons.

Sharapova lost in the fourth round at Melbourne Park last year, when Bouchard reached the semifinals in her tournament debut. I feel like something or someone gave me another chance, Sharapova said. Last year I lost in the fourth round here, getting to the quarters is really special. Sharapova said Bouchard was the most consistent player at the Grand Slams in 2014, and she had to be at her best to beat the 20-year-old Canadian. Shes playing really well, confident tennis. So aggressive, Sharapova said. I have a tough match ahead of me, but I always look forward to that.

Sunday Papers: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
"If our purpose is to understand mankind and its yearnings, to grasp the essential reality of mankind, we must never set one man's truth against another's. All beliefs are demonstrably true. All men are demonstrably in the right. Anything can be demonstrated by logic[...] Truth is not that which is demonstrable but that which is ineluctable."

Target Retail Brand Experience Team Talks Holidays
Target is spotlighting its year-old retail brand experience team whose first start-to-finish project was to create the mass merchant's in-store holiday experience this year.
The group brings together the retailer's packaging, in-store marketing and visual teams "to create a master group of creative and visual thinkers who know how to bring Target product to life in new and inspiring ways all year long," according to a Nov. 26 "A Bullseye View" blog post.
"It's going to be a new feeling for our [shoppers] this year," Patrick Cummings, senior director, packaging at Target, said in a video embedded within the blog post. "The level of coordination and the cohesive feel throughout the store is going to be unlike anything we've ever done before."
The "retail brand experience" is the way Target thinks about creating compelling stories for its shoppers, through product presentation, environment, and storytelling, said Michelle Mesenburg, senior vice president, marketing, in the video. "We're reimagining the shopping experience in our stores," Mesenburg said. "The second our [shoppers] walk through the doors at Target this holiday season, we want to take them to a special place. We want them to take a journey through our store, and not only get the things that they came to check off their list, but also discover something new."
Packaging matters. Brands at Target "come to life" through packaging first, said Nadia Opatz, director, packaging, in the video. "It is something that people don't think about much when you're in the store, but it is absolutely one of the biggest branding moments we have at this company," Opatz said.
Packaging for Target's seasonal Wondershop private label is dominated by white or red colors. Wondershop holiday lights, for example, have white-colored packaging and are stocked on endcaps outfitted with a complementary header.
Mesenburg also noted Target's new personalized gifting stations set up across 80 of the retailer's 1,850 U.S. stores. "[Shoppers] are going to be able to come in and actually customize Christmas stockings and Santa bags and gift wrap — really special, unique items that you typically probably wouldn't find in a mass retailer."
Target executives also highlighted the mass merchant's:
- more than 1,400 giftables under $15 this season, and
- "little shops" inside the store aimed at grabbing shoppers' attention and inspiring them.
For a look at Target's holiday displays and signs this year, visit P2PI.org. Path to Purchase Institute members have access to more than 6,500 images and 1,170 articles of marketing and merchandising activity at Target, along with a full Retailer Profile outlining the chain's operations and strategies.

Brian Doben Changes His Perspective
Initially, Brian Doben wasn't really interested in getting off the ground and photographing with drones – even though it's the popular thing to do. He was totally happy with his feet planted firmly and his camera in hand. But over the course of a couple years, the idea took shape in his head and lit up a passion that became his ongoing "From Above" series.
It all started two years ago when Brian photographed former Representative Gabby Giffords, and met her husband, retired astronaut and Navy captain, Mark Kelly. While in conversation with Kelly he mentioned that his twin brother, Commander Scott Kelly, was about to spend a year in space with NASA and share his experience on social media. Brian didn't think much of it until those posts began appearing in his own research and catalyzed a shift that would send Brian's eye up into the sky. "He was posting these incredibly magnificent images from space. I've always been interested in space but it's such an overwhelming thought I've just let it go," explains Brian. "But, I just started listening to his words and his images and his videos and I found they were spectacular because of the appreciation for seeing the world from a different perspective. I never really thought of it that way." It wasn't until a few months later that Brian got the itch to go up. "The summer came, and it all started to come together," says Brian. "I was just looking around and I thought 'I wonder what this looks like from a different perspective.'"
So he went out and got himself a drone.
Not too big, just something he could play with and after four hours of studying up on the technology, he took it out for a spin. He was immediately entranced. "Just being able to walk in the sky, being able to be at a different perspective within a scene, and the exploration of space and composition was amazing. This is what was paramount in the beginning of my career, it was about creating purposeful imagery."
That small drone didn't last very long – less than a day. Instead he traded it in for a much bigger piece of equipment and then the real work began. He got to work studying, applied for, and then got his license with the FAA. But it's about more that bobbing and weaving through tree branches or getting overhead shots of abandoned school buses. It's about how we see the world. "It's seeing from another perspective, it's seeing the environment, the situation, the conversation from the other side. It's seeing nature from a different perspective, it's seeing space from a different perspective," says Brian. "We're so landlocked, we see everything from the ground, but there's such a beauty from seeing things From Above." From where we sit and stand, our points of view are limited. At a time where broadening our world view is more and more valuable, as the world gets smaller and boundaries feel closer, as we get closer to strangers and must share more than ever before – it's invaluable to see things from a different perspective.
We've provided a selection of work from Brian Doben's "From Above" here, but you can find more in his portfolio. And don't miss the short film at the end!

A Waterside Engagement Shoot | Newport News, VA
- Steve + Sam | Engaged
I was sentimental… until I met Sam! Sam is the sweetest! And she's so creative! I loved her ideas for her engagement shoot and it turned out perfectly. Our first stop was at the restaurant where Steve and Sam first met. We didn't shoot them sitting in the "exact" seats… but it was close!! Next, we shot some portraits under the tree where they shared their first kiss! Then we ended their shoot with a splash of color! Literally!! It was a blast. We left wishing that these two were getting married next month because we just loved them!

You would never know it in the media but Conservatives mounted a huge counter display to the anti-war protest today in D.C.
Several fellow blogger friends of mine were there and said that the Eagles outnumbered the anti-war protesters or were at least as big as the other side.
C-span covered the vitriolic left but not the Eagles.
The Eagles had tons of American Flags flying and lots of bikers to counteract the hippies :-).
One article that I was able to dig up about the event was all about the anti-war protesters and these were the only 2 sentences about the Eagles group:
Vietnam war veterans wearing black leather jackets and their families gathered nearby for a counter-demonstration.For more accounts of the event go here, here and here. So far Fox News is the only one reporting about how many counter-protesters there were.
Some war supporters confronted the peace activists, tearing up and spitting on anti-war signs while chanting: "USA! USA!"
Michelle Malkin posted on it since the Drive By Media is ignoring it.

As Napoleon Perdis once said,"not to prime is a crime!"
Spending $50+ on a primer seems pretty pointless, right? You can't even see it, you're probably thinking that money could be spent on a new lipstick or eyeshadow. While primer won't make your eyelids shimmer or make your lips rival Kylie Jenner's, it is still a crucial part of any makeup kit.
Priming has so many benefits including:
– Softening your skin for a supermodel glow
– Sealing pores from makeup particles, dirt and debris that could otherwise irritate your skin.
– Smoothing your makeup for an airbrushed finish every time.
– Increasing the longevity of your foundation to keep your makeup looking flawless all day.
How to:
Now that you know why you should prime, you should probably learn how to prime. Priming involves much more than lathering your favourite primer all over your face. If you want that supermodel finish, you need to start with a great base.
1. Cleanse – You can't have perfect makeup today if your pores are still clogged with yesterday's foundation. Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser like the First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser ($18 from Sephora). For a deeper cleanse, pair your favourite cleanser with a the Clarisonic Mia ($199 from Myer)
2. Exfoliate – Exfoliate your face 2-3 times per week using an exfoliant such as the LUSH Cosmetics Ocean Salt Scrub ($22.95 from Lush Cosmetics) to remove dead skin cells and impurities.
3. Moisturise – Replenish your freshly cleansed skin with a moisturiser like Clinique's Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturiser ($90 from Myer).
4. Prime – Apply your favourite primer all over your face, paying close attention to your T-zone (especially with pore-minimising primers).
CLIQUE's Top Picks – Primers
Benefit the POREfessional – $53 from Myer in the Myer Centre Adelaide
Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer – $58 from Mecca Cosmetica
Make Up For Ever STEP 1 Skin EQUALIZER – Redness Correcting Primer – $58 from Media Makeup Store
BECCA Ever Matte Poreless Priming Perfector – $55 from Sephora
Now that you're an expert at priming, send us your supermodel makeup looks on Instagram or Twitter using the hashtag #jointheclique.

Province says it's making progress on implementing Innes Road Jail task force recommendations
_ (press release) _ Today, Ontario released its first status report on the actions taken to date to address recommendations from the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre (OCDC) Task Force Action Plan .
The province has already implemented a number of the Task Force's recommendations and is actively working to address recommendations requiring longer term solutions.
Completed tasks include the OCDC health care review, improvements in monitoring facility conditions and a full facility inspection. The province is also looking at the findings of the report to see how they can be applied across all of Ontario's adult correctional institutions.
Ontario is also continuing work on implementing the step-down and mental health units recommended by the Task Force. These units will better support inmates with mental health needs by providing them with improved access to screening and assessment services, treatment and community outreach, clinical and psychotherapeutic support, and programs and supports that will help prepare them for transition back into the community. Details on the implementation plan and an operational timeline for the units will be provided in the next progress report.
In addition to this work, Ontario's pre-trial custody project in Ottawa has resulted in faster bail decisions. Reducing the time it takes for cases to be resolved or go to trial is helping to alleviate remand pressures at OCDC. As well, the Ministry of the Attorney General is moving to incorporate Gladue principles into the bail process, including through the development of a dedicated Indigenous Bail and Remand Pilot Program.
The province continues to make progress on the implementation of all remaining recommendations and will release the next status report by Jan. 31, 2017.
Quick Facts
The 13-member
Task Force
was comprised of ministry staff, local and provincial union leadership, legal experts and representatives from local community-based organizations.
The Task Force held six meetings between April 12 and May 26, 2016 and consulted with local, provincial and national policing and corrections partners, and received advice and feedback from the public, community organizations and 130 inmates at OCDC to help inform recommendations.
The Task Force looked at ways the health and safety of all staff and inmates could be improved at the institution and made a total of 42 recommendations which included ways to improve conditions and address capacity issues at the OCDC.
Gladue principles seek to address the overrepresentation of Indigenous people in the justice system by requiring that systemic and background circumstances along with all available sanctions other than imprisonment be considered.

Rapid Application Security Enabler
Hitachi Computer Products (America), announced the availability of Quadrasis EASI Express, a rapid application security development package. EASI (Enterprise Application Security Integration) Express is designed to provide pre-built authentication, authorization and attribute services that allow software developers to build security into applications, and incorporate consistent, standards-based security across applications. Hitachi unveiled its Quadrasis EASI Express that is designed to provide pre-built authentication, authorization and attribute services that allow software developers to build security into applications.
According to the company, EASI Express reduces the risk and cost of building security into applications for developers who are not security experts. By using EASI Express to secure C++ and Java applications, developers may be free to concentrate on the core business functions of their applications.
EASI Express may also be an inexpensive solution for achieving Single Sign-On. When deploying EASI Express together with Quadrasis/Xtradyne SOAP Content Inspector, developers may be able to ensure secure interoperability between Web Services and traditional applications.
EASI Express is an entry-level developer focused solution for application security that is compatible with other EASI Security Unifier deployments. The EASI Security Unifier is designed to be an open, flexible, extensible and vendor neutral software platform that unifies diverse security services. EASI Security Unifier suite also includes the SOAP Content Inspector, which secures Web Services traffic and allows companies to take Web Services beyond the firewall to critical business applications. EASI Express is available for download from Quadrasis' Web site. Trial copies are currently available for Solaris 8.

The soldiers knew what they had seen. Angels. An empty tomb. A mysterious Man. They didn't understand it, but they knew something big had just happened. Could it really be? Could this Jesus have truly risen from the dead?
The soldiers ran to tell the chiefs priests everything. Then they waited while the Jewish leaders discussed the situation. Perhaps they were surprised by the priests' response, but they weren't about to turn down such a large amount of money.
Yes, of course, it was a bribe, but it was just so much money, more than some of them had ever seen in their lives. They still knew what they had seen, but the lure of wealth was greater then their commitment to truth. They took the money. They told the story the priests gave them. They spread the lie that Jesus' disciples had come and stolen His body in the night. Did their consciences poke them? Did their dreams still reveal the risen Man and the empty tomb? Did they ever regret their denial of the truth that had been right in front of them?
Tuesday – I Have Seen the Lord
"I have seen the Lord!" Mary was ready to proclaim it from the rooftops. But instead she ran and told Jesus' disciples.
"I have seen the Lord!" Indeed, Mary had seen the Lord, and she had heard Him speak her name, listened as He told of His coming ascension, and embraced Him.
"I have seen the Lord!" Mary's tears turned to joy the moment she realized that the Man she thought was the gardener was really Jesus. He was truly risen, just like He said. Death could not hold Him. Here He was alive.
"I have seen the Lord!" Praise God! Mary's heart soared. "I have seen the Lord!"
Wednesday – Expectation
The crippled man looked up at Peter and John with an expectation. He thought they were going to give him some money, and he certainly could use it. His disability made it impossible for him to make a living, and he was reduced to begging from passers-by.
But the man's expectation wasn't met; instead, he received a much greater gift. Peter and John looked intently at him, and Peter said, "I have neither silver nor gold, but what I do have I give you: in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, rise and walk."
The next thing the man knew he was on his feet, walking, jumping around, and praising God. His legs were strong and solid. He had never felt like this before, ever, and it was all because of Jesus. He didn't know much about Jesus, but he was determined to find out as much as he could. The formerly crippled man may not have received what he had expected, but he had something so much more, and his life would never be the same.

We are deep in the Derbyshire Dales now and cycled from Bakewell to Outlane, near Huddersfield. This was a shortish ride, 75 km, but with lots of brutal climbs, particularly over The Strines Moor (total climb 1489 metres). This route was/is used for the Tour de France and the Tour de Yorkshire, so the surface is immaculate. Perfect, smooth tarmac and new white lines. Super. Why can't all roads be like this? Notable sights – Monsal Head, with views of a deep dale with viaduct; Ladybower Reservoir, famously used for the Dam Busters Bouncing Bomb practice. Weather ok again, coolish and overcast to start with, then a short period of misty drizzle, blossoming into blue skies and sunshine. Called for morning coffee at a community pub and post office at Bamford. Then the big ups and downs of the moor, arriving at Bank View Cafe, painted with red dots, like the Tour de France King of the Mountains shirt. The ride from here was a delight, with expansive views and enjoyable climbs – yes, some are when you have them in the palm of your hand and don't let them dominate you! The final climb out of Huddersfield to Outlane went on a bit but was not unenjoyable, knowing the hotel was near. Arrived at the Old Golf House Hotel soon after 1500 hours.
Correction on the mechanical yesterday: – the crank had not broken, which sounds pretty impossible but maybe not on this trip, but the nut holding the chain wheels on. Still sounds a crazy type of failure. I have a photo of the broken nut to prove it.

On August 17th, over 50 immigrants with Temporary Protected Status (TPS holders or TPSianos), their family members, and other civil rights leaders embarked on a journey across the United States to lift their collective voices against the termination of TPS, against the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of lawfully present immigrants, & against the criminalization of migration in an effort to promote immigrant legalization, to promote political equality, and to promote the power of immigrant courage to prevail against Trump's campaign of fear.
The journey, with events across the country, motivated local communities to organize and connect in a national campaign to fight for permanent residency and protect TPS families.
The #TPSJourney4Justice is a grassroots, bottom-up initiative to strengthen, unify, and elevate the voices of TPS holders, build local alliances and support networks, and establish alignment and solidarity with immigrant communities across the country. We intend to bring together tens of thousands of TPS holders and allies and invite them to join the fight to #SaveTPS & #ProtectTPS.
