Very nice application
i can't receive weather data. Please tell me why.
Check your Internet connection
I have the same problem, and there is nothing wrong with my Internet connection. All other apps are working fine, location awareness, weather, etc. Hope th is can be fixed, you have a really nice app here!
Hi Nikos and Stu, besides the connection, it's possible that your device's location services are disabled for Compass 54 Pro application, as for retrieving the weather we use your current location. Please check that out.
Yes, I can't get weather, location. I have the time, I can get that on my watch!!
Hi Christi,
Have you tried the solutions suggested above?
Application does work only on iPhone 3GS, 4G, iPad devices, as mentioned in description. what device (model) are you using?
If your issue is different please send screenshots and logs, so we could determine and fix the problem.

App does not work. It literraly points the opposite of what it should. Refund?
Hi Rick,
First of all, what device (model) are you using? Application does work only on iPhone 3GS, 4G, iPad devices, as mentioned in description.
The compass is device-oriented, i.e. it points relative to device's current orientation.
If your issue is different please send screenshots and logs, so we could determine the cause.
I have an iPad. Not sure I understand what you mean be current orientation. If I knew what direction the device is pointed, I don't have the need for a compasss. Would still like a refund.
Hi Rick,
I meant compass is relative to the top-side of device's current orientation. If there is no (or minor) electromagnetic noises, application should work normally. Please check that out.
Please compare with other free compass applications. If issue exists for others also, probably your device magnetometer started malfunctioning.
First your app reads free. Then after downloading then having to pay for the app to operate your instructions tell me it will not operate on my iPod touch. Refund.
There are notes in description that application won't work on 3G and iPod devices. Unfortunately we can't change the requirement backdated, since Apple not allow that.

Barometric pressure: what units? It shows "30″ at my place, please use most common unit Hecto Pascal or mm. Upside down "S" of compass is also annoying.
Hi Globe,
Thanks for comments. They will be fixed shortly. The units for barometric pressure now are pounds per square inch. It is most common in countries with non-metric format units. But the conversion will be integrated as well.
Only the compass works others say na.
Hi Gary,
The possible reasons are:
- Internet connectivity
- Location services are disabled for application
Please check that out.
Hi Gary,
Could you please submit application log report of application. We are planning to create an update shortly, including all bug fixes and feature requested. So, we'll be happy to fix your issue as well.
Everything worked well ,thanks
Thanks Nova!
Great app!!!!!
Everything good except does not show altitude what can I do to fix. Aim in Cuenca ecuador
Hi Jim,
That's probably because of GPS. Could be that few number of satellites exist. Could you please check altitude with some other GPS-based application and see if it displays it or not?
Hi Christi,

Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 4.0 or later
These statements conflict. I purchased for an Ipod touch based on requirements and all but compass work, the main part. Now I see on your site that Ipod is not included.
Apple apps store lists this as compatible with ipod touch, so i bought it and guess what, it doesn't work!, thanks for the rip off folks, last app of yours i will buy, your description on the app store is false, it is not compatible with ipod touch. read under the requirements, and see for yourself, thanks for a dead app.
Hi Steve,
Its clearly said in application description that:
I have just run the app update and now the program won't load! What must I do?
Hi Rick,
We haven't noticed such kind of problem ever, so I cannot recommend the steps to solve that, rather than restart the device and see if that helps.
I have the same problem Rick has (Oct 30, 2011). I purchased the app new using a 3GS, it looked like it was downloading and installing, then at some point the installation failed. The App store says it is "Installed", but there is no sign of it on my iPhone. Perhaps this is what Rick means when he says the program won't load.
Sorry! I followed the advice you gave Rick (restart the device) and now I see the app and it works great. Thanks very much.
Hi Dan,
Nice to hear that! Thanks!
The temp, altitude and speed do not appear after I upgraded to ios 5.
Please help
Hi Dharam,
We were looking into the issue and seems it is not application-related. Probably something got broken during upgrade. Try to see from device Settings, if Compass 54 application's location services enabled or not and are Location Services generally enabled.
Many thanks for your reply.
I enabled the location service on the iPad , it now shows temp details.
However the speed information appears as N/A.
I have tried to uninstall and reinstalled the application.
That looks really handy.I still have an old scoohl compass (the key is to get a really stiff one so it keeps its shape when you're drawing the circle) which I use for drawing clickwheel circles on iPod cover templates.
What does it mean in the middle of the compass when +/- shows followed by degrees. Also, what does it mean in the GPS area? Great app by the way. Thanks!
Hi Ray,
The "+/-" in the middle shows the magnetometer accuracy in degrees.
The GPS area shows the movement course in degrees.
Thanks for positive feedback!
What is the lock button for ( bottom left of display)?
Its for preventing application screen rotation when device rotated.
My map keeps defaulting to a whole earth view and won't zoom to my location. I can't find a setting to correct this. Please help. Thanks.
Have you enabled Location Services?
Yes location services are enabled.
Hi Jimmy,
We currently release new update and it will be available somewhere next week. Please try it out and send us feedback on does it fix your issues or not.
The .099 that I got was without lat. and long, course, speed, altitude, weather, current location.
I have the newest ipad
I set the location options as you recommended, still no functions except compas and time of day. Any other suggestions
Hi Rich,
Probably that because you disable location services. Try to enable them from Settings->Location Services-> Compass 54 Pro
Si la app no es compatible con 3g, no debería descargarse. Me di cuenta de que no funciona en mi iphone 3G luego de haberla comprado. Ahora que hago con ella?
Hi ciprian,
There is not much you can do. There are notes in description that application won't work on 3G devices. Unfortunately we can't change the requirement backdated, since Apple not allow that.
Thanks for understanding.
I just purchased the pro version. Looks great so far. Is there any chance the barometric pressure can be tweaked to a more accurate indication? The pressure at my location is 30.62 inHg. Compass 54 just shows 30″. For people interested in the weather and seeing what weather is headed their way, that makes a big difference in seeing a more precise reading.
Hi Dave,
We'll take into account your notice in further update.
Thank you!
Compass want move for some reason any suggestions?
Hi Brandon,
That's probably your device is 3G or iPod, which do not have built-in magnetometer.
The application's description notes that clearly.
If your problem is different please clarify what device are you using and conditions if available.
Having problems copying coordinates on a first-gen iPad running the latest IOS. Tapping the coordinates brings up the "select all" box but you have to be very fast to select it before it disappears. Then you have to very, very quickly hit the "copy" box before it vanishes. Even then it only copies the coordinates about a quarter of the attempts.
Otherwise everything works and looks great!
Probably the reason for that is that coordinates continuously changing while device moving, so probably the way to do that with less trouble will be to stop and do the steps to copy.
Anyway, we'll try to fix it in coming updates.
Thanks for feedback!
Are u planning data export?
Hi Ed,
What data export did meant or need? Recently we did an update with ability to copy the DMS coordinates. It will be available within these days.
Hi, have purchased copy of compass 54 and installed the latest update, but still having massive problems with it locating North. All it keeps telling me is that I should move the iPad 2 around in a figure of 8 motion, the compass then spins and resets anywhere but North ? Is there a manual override so I can set and lock it, otherwise I will have no faith in which direction it is actually pointing. Thanks for you help. Pete -uk.
Hi Pete,
There probably electromagnetic noise round. That's why you have to calibrate the device. For example if you using it in car there could be more noise than outdoor. So, if you using it in car try to place it far from the car's dashboard.
I have the updated version, but I cannot find the utilites to add my location. How do I get it to find my location?
Hi Margie,
There is no utility to add your location. The location defined automatically. If it doesn't show, then first try to check out if Location Services are enabled for current application from General Settings.
I cannot find the utilites, I downloaded a second time and i cannot find an icon for settings
Hi Margie,
Could you please more descriptive and explain what icon and what settings you meant?
The settings I am trying to find, are it will not find my co-ordinates, altitue or temperature. Those spots are blank, and right now it will not reset from my plane trip to current 1 hour difference. is there no a place for it to reset itself to find this information?
Try to enable them from Settings->Location Services-> Compass 54 Pro
Settings, location have been turned to on. Has not made any difference.
What else is there, are there supposed to be any icons for settings on the compass itself? I have tried everything
can you addan option to dsplay UTM coordinates?
Hi Al,
We'll take into the consideration your request in further updates.

On the free version, when I accessed the map, it zoomed to my general location (a reasonably navigable area) The paid version simply shows me the whole earth (!) and I can punch the screen several times to drill down to a reasonably navigable area, but that's no fun. Why doesn't the paid version work as well as the free version? And why don't you answer me? Does the answer go somewhere else and I'm just not seeing it? I clicked on a screen from my iPhone that said this was app support.
This is a repeat of my June 4 comment:

June 4, 2012 3:54 am Reply]
I'm not sure this matters, but I'm using an iPhone 4s
See the previous comments
First of all check the Location Services. If that doesn't work, please mention you device model and iOS version and we'll take a look.
Hi. This could be operator error but I'm thinking not. I have the new iPad and all I get is a compass that moves and the time. Everything else says NA. The map doesn't drop pins either, however maybe it's not supposed to and there doesn't seem to be search capabilities. I've turned off location services and turned them back on but no effect. Beautiful app by the way. Just wish it worked. Any suggestions?
Hi Cindy,
Unfortunately there no much to suggest, since you've tried to on/off Location Services. Could be that for some reasons device not getting GPS signal (could be occurring while indoor).
Could you try on iphone (if you have) or on other ipad device?
Thanks for good words!
It would be nice if the compass it's self would work
How do I get the compass to work?
What device and iOS are you using?
Installed, worked day one but not now…what can I do to jump start it? Thnx
Hi Martha,
Could you please more descriptive and explain what is not working, what device are you using?
Compass 54Pro has stopped working. Everything else, lat and long, Time / Temp & Alt. Work's Fine. No Compass True or Mag. Any suggestions. Thanks
Hi Tom,
Probably internal magnetometer (if you're using iphone 3GS and higher or ipads) needs calibration. Try to move the device in ∞ pattern. Otherwise, if not helped try to power off the device and leave for a while far from any magnetic fields sources.
Hi. I tried all of Your suggestions it's still not working. Any more suggestions? Tom
Hi Tom,
Try to reinstall the application. Otherwise it seems something got broken in your device.
By the way, what device are you using?
Hi I am using Ipad2 since I installed new software 5.1.1 All functions are working ok.???. Thanks
Hi Tom,
Not quite clear what you mean. You said now everything works ok? If so, nice to hear that. Otherwise we're ready to help you.
Don't hesitate to ask questions if any.
I have an I POD 4th generation .
There is no hardware support for ipod, since there is no magnetometer. To make compass work to have to rely on gps signal, i.e. you need to continuously walk to have compass readings.
I purchased your compass but it doesn' t run the movement of the needle of the compass. How it runs? What causes this failure? What is the manetometer device?
What device are you using?
The device is IPad 2 16 GB Model A1416
Probably it is some calibration issue. Try to keep the device far from any electromagnetic sources and try to restart it. Doesn't it show any calibration messages?
I got the free version then the 0.99 version.
There is little diff. All I have are two versions of a compas. Help
Hi Rich,
Not get what help you need. Could you clarify?
The punctuation in your "won't work" section leaves me a little confused. Will 'Compass 54 Pro' work properly on a new iPad with wi-fi only (not 3G/4G capable). Thankyou.
On iPad there is hardware responsible for detecting magnetic fields, so yes, it will work on iPad.
Works well except for altitude which is always zero. Me car gps works fine.
Hi Burton,
On some earlier iPhone OS–based devices, this GPS property always contains a negative value and as a result zero is displayed.
What device are you using?
Using an IPOD Touch version 2.
Hi Burton,
Probably that is main reason. From the Apple doc:
Determining the vertical accuracy requires a device with GPS capabilities. Thus, on some earlier iOS-based devices, this property always contains a negative value.
Would be a perfect app if the bezel can be rotated, just like a real compass for orienteering.
Hi Lucas,
You meant to rotate bezel instead of arrow?
My altitude is not correct about 800 ft in altitude difference. The app shows 380 ft I am at about 800 to 1300 in my city
It seems that it shows in meters currently which is lying in the range you've mentioned. Could you please check that out by playing with
I did the up date and now the altimeter does not work. Can I re install or what to get to work again
Can you write down your device model and iOS version, so we could take a look?
I pad 2 with 5.0 ios
Hope you can come up with a fix
I have an iPhone 4 . On this device the altitude, speed and coordinates are displayed as well as the temp and time. Sitting in the same chair with my iPad2 running on sys 5 .1.1 I have no altitude, speed or coordinates. Location services are on on the iPad. What is the problem? Thanks for any assistance.
Have ipad2. Can't get weather or travel info. Only compass which works fine on the free app.
Am looking for app. That will allow me to enter lat. & long. & get directions to that loc., is this it.
No, we have not such feature in it.
This App is not worth the money I spent on it! The temperature shows -17 in a location where it is constantly over 25! I cannot change the location.
Better reimburse the money of fix it quickly.
We are working on that problem. Thanks for mentioning it.
Excellent application; free version is adequate, $1 version is good, accurate and reliable.
Thanks for feedback! We appreciate that!
Supposed to be free; text says free, but price box says 0.99. How come?
It was free for 2 days. Becomes paid on 5th. Probably some synchronization issue.
The temperature is not correct!
Can you please be more precise? What is not correct exactly? How much it shows and what do you expecting? There are some problems with Yahoo on certain cities.
Thanks in advance!
Hi, just installed the pro version of your app. For some reason it doesn't show the altitude (says N/A). I have iPad 2 with iOS 5.1.1
At the same time I've tried a couple of other free apps. Both of them show altitude. Could you please advise what could be the issue and how it can be fixed?
Hi Elena,
Could you please check if the Location Services are enabled for this app (from device settings)?
Hi! The location services for this app are enabled. Still it doesn't show the altitude. The rest works fine.
Hello. Thanks for this great app. I have a problem with the location: it says N/A. So no speed, no altitude…
I have an iphone 4.
Little help ?
Hi Sufei,
Could you please check if the Location Services are enabled for this app (from device settings)?
Thank you for your reply.
The location service is on, but no data at all.
The rest is normal.
If you had some solution, I'd be very grateful :)
Right in the middle of the compass, it says +\- 30 degrees. What does that mean?
It means there is strong magnetic 'noise' around. Try to keep the device far from electromagnetic sources and rotate device in ∞ pattern.
Also, what does 'N-1 GPS' mean under the compass next to altitude and speed?
This is a great app!
That field indicates the course value. In some cases could be that GPS signal doesn't provide it.
The location feature on my Compass 54 Pro has not worked for awhile now. I really do need the altimeter function. Now I have iOS 6 and not sure if it would work on that too.
I just got this app and the latitude and longitude does not show up, this is the only reason I bought this app, Can you please tell how to get this information to show?
Paid an downloaded the app, but compass doesn't move. Map is fine, and all other features. But shouldn't the main feature work?
Nice trick. I wonder how much money you have made on iPod touch downloads. Usually I check the fine print before buying anything, but saw the Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 4.0 or later to the left of page and was caught off guard. After buying 54 Pro and wondering why the compass did not work, I looked closer and saw the comment that it did not work on the iPod touch. My fault I guess, but would like a refund if possible since I am not satisfied with the product. Even though this might not have been your intention, it is still your gain. Live and learn.
Altitude not reading. Using ipad 2 wifi only, version 6.0.1. Whats the issue? Thanks!
Since updates my map has returned to defaulting to the whole US view again. When I select map I want it to focus on my location, not a view of the whole United States. Thanks.
This is lame technical support. I've waited a month! No response. How did this app get such good reviews? Now it's my turn.
This App is not showing correct directions. It is showing North instead of East direction in my iPad2 when used in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, India. This is showing my place as Vijayawada, Temperature, Date & Time correctly. Cannot rely on this App as it showing wrong directions in the compass. Not serving the purpose for which this App is purchased. Unless the above the corrected, it is of no use and waste of money.
I have an iPhone 4S with a very good connection to the Internet. The compass works well however the speed and altimeter do not work at all. They used to work I wonder if the new update changed that? Is there a way to change the time so that it's local and not GMT? I find the compass very handy but I also need the altimeter to work as well.
Add my name to the list that can NOT get the location or altitude to work. Will be asking for a refund.
The map feature does not open on one's present location.

I upgraded to the Pro version and can only say this is junk. I wish I had read the reviews before wasting my money. The free version functions very nice. On the Pro version, weather, speed and altitude do not function. Does anyone pay attention to the reviews and fix these things?
I would not recommend this App to anyone.
Got the app a couple weeks ago. I used it one time now it opens and closes immediately on my iPhone 5
Still not fixed as of January, 2014
I bought this device for the latitude longitude on my iPad 3. Please tell me where to find this information.
Hi Lauren, I bought the app for the same reason and like you the data is not displayed, did you manage to get it fixed.
i wouldS like to integrate my iPhones camera with the Compass 54 so that i can take pictures which can be directly uploaded to a GIS map of choice, the application is for sighting security cameras and other fixtures in a physical security survey within a plant or building. Please help.

Doctors state that fat people suffer from a variety of health conditions that can be perfectely attributed to their excess weight. Fortunately that people who sadly are overweight in addition to suffering from various diseases can reduce the severity of their illnesses simply by losing weight. It's possible to see a steady but noted improvement in health if even a moderate amount of weight reduction is reached.PoIuYt
This does not work at all on iPad mini retina – the compass does not change as the pad is rotated, the altimeter is blank
]I would like my money back.
What is the +/- degrees in center of compass ring?
I dugg some of you post as I cogitated they were very useful extremely helpful kedgcakcgcke
I know this web site presents quality depending articles or reviews STUDEO4IOS Compass Pro | Studeo410 and other stuff, is there any other web site which presents these kinds of data in quality?

I am running Compass 54 Pro on an iPad Air using iOS 8.1.2. When I updated the iOS to iOS 8 the compass rose shrank in size and is now very small. It is so small that it is hard to read the degrees. This is the case with both compass skins. Everything else with this app seems to work as advertised. I have tried to contact Studeo410 about this since November 2014 but I get no response. Could someone at Studio410 at least acknowledge that they recognize this bug? I liked this app enough to pay for it, but with the tiny compass rose in iOS 8 it is now barely functional. I would really like at least some acknowledgement that Studeo 54 recognizes this problem. Thanks
I just downloaded this app to my ipad mini2 and the only things that work are the compass and time My Internet works ok (or else I couldn't be sending this). I can't find any place within the app to activate the other settings. Since I paid for this app, I expect it to work as advertised. Help!
Great apps, guys.
1. Centre of compass rose: +/- 15.0 – Is that your margin of error? Or what?
2. Timezone: GMT is great for the UK. But I travel through different time zones. How do I change the zone?
If I can't change zone, why don't you change the app, to enable change of time zones for travellers?
Let me know when.

The altimeter and temperature have not worked in years. Sure would be nice to have it fixed. Before I updated everything worked great and loved it.
Why does location have to be "always" or "never" with this app? Other compass apps allow me to choose "only while using." I will certainly not let this app use location services in the background, but for it to be useful they must be on. So I have to go to "settings" and turn location on every time I launch the app? No way. In my opinion you ruined a great app by not allowing us to set location only while using the app. Deleting from all devices.
Compass Pro:
I have had your app for a couple of years – and it was the best compass, speed, altitude app of any.
However, I inadvertently erased the app so I found it on the app store and paid agian and downloaded the Pro version.
This time though the compass and time worked – but the speed and altitude,and weather will not work.
I have the iphone 5 and wondered if you could offer any suggestions as I really like your app but need those features that aren't working.
Thank you.
Why doesn't the compass work when in magnetic north position.?
Can you fix the weather feature it stopped working on the military version as well the apps are great thanks
Would you please fix the weather function on the military compass I have both really like them a lot thanks for your hard work
I really enjoy the compass 54 but for some reason the Magnetic compass isn't working, the True North is.
The Magnetic Compass still isn't working..

In the eleventh hour, U.S. Border Patrol stopped a controversial plan to fly hundreds of detained immigrants from Texas to California.
Border Patrol union representative Gabe Pacheco said he believes the change was made because of mounting public pressure.
The initial plan, which drew heavy criticism, was to fly two planes with 140 passengers each to San Diego and El Centro starting Monday. The flights were in response to a surge of Central Americans entering Texas' Rio Grande Valley, where Border Patrol has made more than 174,000 arrests since October 1.
Border Patrol agents say their hands are full as 50,000 unaccompanied children have inundated the U.S.-Mexico border. So far this year, the San Diego sector has apprehended more than 700 unaccompanied kids.
Pacheco said the controversy over the plan has called attention to how overwhelmed Border Patrol agents are.
"What's going to happen is you're going to have these holes and these gaps where the agents aren't enforcing," he said. "What's going to happen is you're going to have people taking advantage of those gaps."
Agents worry that with their hands tied attending to these families, guns, drugs and communicable diseases may also enter the country.
"We cannot handle hundreds of people of with active TB coming across. The amount of manpower that would take to draw off the border enforcement to just watch these people that are in custody and the amount of money the public is paying for those facilities," Pacheco said.
San Diego-based non-profit Border Angels said the problem is so devastating it is launching a campaign to collect food, clothing and donations to help.
"It's a sad situation because a society is judged on how we treat our children," said Enrique Morones with Border Angels. "When we are out there putting water in the desert and working with the migrant community, we find something like this, this little shoe, this little toy. It just breaks my heart. These are children, and their parents just want them to have a better life."
Border Patrol is canceling the plan for now, but the agency did not say it couldn't sill happen in the future.

Ayn Rand famously said that "A=A" and nothing else. Orwell famously spent a couple hundred pages railing against "Doublethink," which is basically believing that A is not equal to A. Heinlein spends several books going on about utilitarianism, and value being related to use and nothing else, and there are no values beyond those, excepting the ones he capriciously throws in. He's the intellectual lightweight of the batch, though, so we can forgive him his inconsistencies. Kiri-Kin-Tha's First Law of Metaphysics states that "Nothing unreal exists."
All of this is well and good, insofar as it goes, and all of it is a logical extrapolation of the very same Enlightenment Era Thinking that created our own republic. And yet I think they're missing the point. Rand's ideal world seems every bit as abhorent to me as Huxley's brave new world. In fact, really, they're the same place if you think about it. Zamayatin's "We" is just as much a shadow play without shadows as Rand or Huxley, though his vision is Communist. The Federation's view of utopia is not a place I'd care to live, even though it's obviously pretty nice. In fact, all these places are pretty nice, but all of them have the same basic failing, I think, which is the same as Winston Smith's Oceania in 1984, despite the fact that that place is pretty nasty, and Rand, Heinlein, and the rest come up with places that aren't nasty. And yet they are.
What's the failing? That these aren't societies, they're machines, and there is no place for humanity in them.
We see this in the real world, too: ground-up rebuilds and social engineering projects large and small, utopian communes or megastates, or heavily-re-engineered socioeconomic projects. The 20th century was *the* time for chucking out the old and trying the new, and in general these went really badly: the USSR, the PRC (up until 1992 or so), the Nazis, Fascism in general, eugenics, genocide. Of course the failures tend to mask a slow, steady improvement in much of the world. Yeah, the USSR failed and killed about 30 million people in the process, but the fact is that life *has* in fact gotten steadily better for people in much of the world in that same period, and *much* of that is based on the same kinds of re-engineering principles, though generally instituted from the bottom up, as opposed to the top down.
The curious thing about it is, of course, that *all* of these projects *should* have worked. Everything works on paper, but when you put people in the mix, it all stops working. Why? Even if you use good people - many of the early Communists were actually genuinely good people - it still fails. Why? Why, more do the point, did the social engineering projects of the 18th century generally succeed? I speak of our own republic, and the French one. Granted, the triumph of enlightenment republicanism in France was bloodier, but they had a lot more baggage to overcome than we did. There are other examples.
Why did it work in the 18th century and to a lesser extent in the 19th, and why did this same process *stop* working and fail so disastrously in the 20th?
My hunch, again, is that the Founding Fathers weren't interested in a masterpiece society, they simply wanted something that worked better than what they had. They weren't interested in creating heaven on earth, and in fact ignored a lot of obvious problems that later on would cost lives, and yet, in general, the US is the most successful social engineering project in history. So why doesn't this scale up to the 20th century examples?
I suspect it's because they *Were* trying to create a heaven on earth. They wanted to make society completely equitable, they wanted to change human nature by changing our socioeconomic status, and ignored the fact that human nature is human nature because it's natural. Attempts to change it are unnatural, and hence probably prone to failure, or at least a lot of stress.
Part of human nature, I think, is that A is never equal to A. My kid gives me an apple. It's simply an apple, but it means more to me because my kid gave it to me, or perhaps less becuase your kid threw it at me. These are emotional values unrelated to its physical worth, or its market cost. An apple is never simply an apple once a person sees it. Attempts by Rand and third-rate Rand Drag Queens like Heinlein attempt to portray a society of absolute objective values, and ignore the fact that where you have people, you have emotions and biases and whatnot, and objectivity goes out the window. Sorry: human nature. We've spent a century proving that.
We have *reason* to allow us to work around this to some extent, but reason is no more reliable than human nature on occasion. The Killing Fields in Cambodia seemed reasonable. The Cultural Revolution in China. Madness, but, again, it worked on paper. Papers, that, in retrospect, read much like "Atlas Shrugged" and "For Us the Living."
Orwell never seemed to grasp the concept that "Doublethink" is the natural state of the human mind. We all believe mutually exclusive things all the time. We believe that our country is the greatest in the world, but we bitch and moan constantly about how it's going down the tubes. We believe in true love, but we know it's just a hormonal trick to get us to reproduce. We Believe we're the center of the universe, and ignore the seven billion other centers of the universe. We believe in God despite no proof that would stand up in any court in the world.
None of these are bad things, none of these make us weak, in fact I think they're what make us strong. We are of two minds, a rational one: the one that comes up with social engineering projects and splits the atom, and an irrational one: the mindless savage who can barely figure out which end of the stick to stab the tiger with (hint: the pointy one). The saint and the rapist: that's all of us at every moment of every day, at least in potential. Those are our extremes, those are the halves of our brain arguing it out, and us, we, ourselves, *WE* are the result of that conflict.
I am the result of the war between the better and worse angels of my nature. So are you. So is everyone. It is this conflict that is the nature of who we are, but it is also the nature of our self-awareness, it is consciousness itself.
again: we are aware - cogito ergo sum - *BECAUSE* of the conflict between our rational and irrational selves. Take the rational side away, and we're just an animal, a reflex machine. Take the irrational side away, and what are we? Spirits? Abstracted principles? Lotus eaters? I don't know, but whatever it is, it isn't human.
A is not equal to A, and attempts to make it so are attempts to do away with mankind.

I've just joined this forum in search of some advice... I'm a recently qualified ESL teacher looking for my first job (to start in September) and I really want to go to Thessaloniki. I want to go here for a number of reasons, the main one being that I already have family there. I've been in contact with the 2 main recruitment agencies in Greece (both of which have already been mentioned in this forum) but I don't think it's likely that they will be able to place me in Thessaloniki. They seem to cater more for smaller towns. Am I right in thinking this? Could anyone offer me some advice on the best way to get a job in Thessaloniki? I've been toying with the idea of going out for a week or so and just hand delivering my CV to every school I can find. Do you think this would be worth my while? Any advice will be gratefully received! Back to top the_thinkerJoined: 24 Nov 2009Posts: 68 Posted: Tue Jun 08, 2010 12:43 pm Post subject: I know Anglo-Hellenic definitely used to deal with some schools in Thessaloniki, but I don't know about now. They will definitely try and convince you to take the small-town jobs first, though ... Turning up with a CV could be successful. You might actually have more luck in the suburbs than the centre, but it might be hard to pick one if you don't know the city. Mid September should be the best time, as schools will start to know about student numbers. If you can read Greek, you'll find plenty of jobs on this site as well: http://www.xe.gr/pages/Index.aspx You'll struggle living on your own in Thessaloniki, though (if that's your intention). The advantage of the agencies is that generally the schools they place people at provide free accommodation. If you plan to live with your family then you'll be fine, though! Back to top scona85Joined: 06 Jun 2010Posts: 3 Posted: Fri Jun 11, 2010 5:35 pm Post subject: Thanks for the advice. It's appreciated! I have 2 interviews in the summer with each of the recruitment agencies so I think I'll wait and see how they go and take it from there. I'll just make sure I do any necessary research on anywhere they might try to place me. Does anyone know anything about the interview process with Anglo-Hellenic or Cambridge Teacher Recruitment? What do the interviews entail? Do many people get rejected or is the success rate quite high? Back to top the_thinkerJoined: 24 Nov 2009Posts: 68 Posted: Sat Jun 12, 2010 9:09 am Post subject: I had interviews with both years ago. It wasn't really any kind of formal interview; they just describe the teaching situation in Greece, ask you where you want to go, and then present you with a list of possible schools (probably based on their own needs rather than your requests ...). It pays to be very clear about where you want to go and where you don't want to go, and yes, you should research very carefully any location they suggest (there's probably not so much you can do about the individual schools except for to hope for the best). I really doubt anyone gets rejected, as they get a fee for every teacher they place.

Mezzo-Soprano Jennifer Johnson Cano to Perform in Benefit Recital
Sep. 4, 2013
ST. LOUIS - Webster University will host a benefit recital by noted mezzo-soprano, Webster alumna and Jefferson County native Jennifer Johnson Cano at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 30, at the Sheldon Concert Hall, 3648 Washington Blvd., St. Louis. Johnson Cano will be accompanied by her husband, Christopher Cano.
For her one-night-only recital at the Sheldon, Johnson Cano will deliver a preview of her upcoming Carnegie Hall debut, including songs of Korngold, Poulenc and Schubert, in addition to a set of songs from the British Isles and a set of Russian songs. Christopher Cano also will play a work by Glinka.
Recital proceeds will benefit Webster's James Moroney Nigh Opera Scholarship fund. Tickets, which are available through Metrotix or at the door, are $35 for general seating; reserved seating at $75 includes a champagne reception with Johnson Cano after the performance.
Webster University students, faculty and staff, with valid ID, will be admitted free of charge, but tickets must be requested in advance no later than Thursday, Sept. 26 and collected in person from the Department of Music office by 4 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 30. No student or faculty/staff tickets will be available at the door. To request student or faculty/staff tickets, call 314-968-7032.
Since graduating from Webster in 2006, Johnson Cano has built an enviable list of operatic credits to her name. After being accepted into the Lindemann Young Artist Development Program at the famed Metropolitan Opera in 2008, Johnson Cano made her Met debut the following year. Locally, Johnson Cano was a Gerdine Young Artist with Opera Theatre of Saint Louis (OTSL), and then promoted to her first-ever major professional role as Nicklausse in "The Tales of Hoffman" at OTSL in 2008.
Johnson Cano consistently delivers stunning recital debuts and receives rave reviews as well, including from such publications as "The New York Times" and the "Washington Post." For example, music reviewer Zachary Woolfe of "The New York Times" wrote: "Character — individuality, a taste for risk — is the attribute some find lacking in young American singers, but Ms. Johnson Cano has it: an honesty and assurance so impressive that you want to call it bravery…Emotion suffused every moment of her eloquent, impassioned New York debut recital. She met with elegance and confidence all the challenges of a varied program...Hers is better than a good voice; it's an interesting one."
Following her Carnegie Hall debut in October 2013, Johnson Cano will return to the Met for the 2013-2014 season, with performances as Meg Page in "Falstaff" and Bersi in "Andrea Chenier."

After fighting around the globe for the past nine years, Team Golden Glory's Siyar Bahadurzada (20-4-1) is ready to take his talents to the U.S.
That migration has already begun, as the Afghanistan native is serving as a striking coach for Team Jason "Mayhem" Miller on the 14th season of "The Ultimate Fighter."
With any luck, Bahadurzada said he hopes to land a contract with either the UFC or Strikeforce sometime in the near future. And when that happens, "The Killer" promises ample violence in the cage.
"I don't promise a lot of things to people or whoever, but the one thing I promise the fight fans here in the U.S. is that I will knock so many people out that you will never forget my name," Bahadurzada on Monday told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio).
Currently based in the Netherlands, Bahadurzada has been fighting professionally since 2002. However, a recent transition to the welterweight division that includes an Ultimate Glory World Series title has forced many MMA pundits to take notice of the aggressive brawler. Bahadurzada's strike-first mentality and trademark aggression make him the type of fighter fans clamor to see, and some are saying it's time for those talents to be on display in North America.
"My game is grappling, but I don't like to grapple during a fight," Bahadurzada said. "I just like to make it messy and violent and just knock people out. I just want to knock people out and give people their money's worth."
Lately, he's been doing exactly that. Bahadurzada's current six-fight win streak includes knockouts of notables John Alessio and Derrick Noble, among others. But Bahadurzada wants the chance to face one of the world's best at 170-pounds – a division in which the UFC has locked nearly all of the sport's top talent.
"I would love to fight a top-10 welterweight just to show people the only difference between them being so good in the eyes of people is because they are being marketed so well, Bahadurzada said. "There are fighters who are not being marketed but that are still good fighters. I would like to prove those people wrong who think that fighters who are not being marketed are not good enough."
Bahadurzada said his management is currently in talks with Zuffa, LLC, the parent company of the UFC and Strikeforce. However, he admits "there is still a lot to talk about" in that process. In the meantime, Bahadurzada said he remains happy with his current employers at Ultimate Glory. A broken right hand is healing well, and he hopes to get back to action as early as late September.
In the meantime, he'll wrap up filming of "TUF 14" and continue to seek out the best fights available. Of course, when the Spike TV reality series begins its fall run, demand to see Bahadurzada in the octagon may increase.
The 27-year-old fighter is contractually bound not to reveal any details of the "TUF" goings on, but his choice words for opposing head coach Michael Bisping would appear to foreshadow a contentious relationship fans can only hope will play out on-screen.
"As a person, Michael Bisping sucks, actually," Bahadurzada said. "I don't like him. I have respect for him as a fighter, but as a person, if I meet him somewhere in a bar and he steps up to me and talks to me, I'll knock him the [expletive] out.
"We don't have a past, but I just don't like him. Trust me, he's just a guy that has it coming to him. If you know Michael Bisping, you know what I mean. Birds fly, grass grows. Michael Bisping is stupid. He's an idiot."
MMAjunkie.com Radio broadcasts Monday-Friday at noon ET (9 a.m. PT) live from the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino's Race & Sports Book. The show is hosted by Gorgeous George, MMAjunkie.com lead staff reporter John Morgan and producer Goze. For more information or to download past episodes, go to www.mmajunkie.com/radio.

Labor Day Weekend in the Hamptons is all about celebrating the best the East End has to offer—and that includes Long Island Wine Country. One of the best things about Long Island wine is that you can go visit a vineyard to enjoy your vino, or you can bring the experience home to you. So when it came to getting the low-down on how to host a wine tasting at home, we asked Theresa (Tree) Dilworth, the owner of Comtesse Thérèse Vineyard & Bistro in Aquebogue, for her expert insights. [expand]
Writes Tree Dilworth: Dan's Papers asked if I was interested in writing about organizing an in-home wine tasting. Coincidentally, I was asked to conduct an office party wine tasting at an East End weekend home, so I decided to write about it.
1. How many people attending?
BEFORE: The hostess told me 30, from the NYC office of one the big firms. I'm actually an alumna of the firm, having worked there for about 10 years.
REALITY: I only knew a few party guests. But we did have a common connection and a good rapport.
2. Standing up or sitting down?
BEFORE: Standing up. The dynamics are different than a sit-down. Need to shepherd them in a little more; sometimes it's hard to be heard over a crowd of 30 chatting drinkers. Wonder whether to bring my portable public address system, i.e. microphone and speakers.
REALITY: Brought the P.A. system, but didn't use it. The wine tasting was on a sheltered deck, just the right size, and the audience very attentive and polite.
3. Will food be served?
BEFORE: The hostess said a local North Fork chef would prepare the dinner. She wanted finger foods with the wine tasting, so I developed a short menu to complement the wines.
Goat cheese. Good with Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Catapano Farms in Peconic is a good, local option. A contrast to the stark acidity of the white wines, especially the Sauvignon Blanc.
Manchego cheese. I remember Andrea Zimmer, formerly of Windows on the World, saying at a class at the French Culinary Institute in New York that this cheese is good with almost any wine.
Nuts. Brings out the toasty and nutty components from the oak barrels. A simple finger food for standing around and wine tasting.
Prosciutto – good complement to Rosé wine; also reds.
Thin-sliced smoked local duck – the smoky, meaty and fatty goes well with reds.
Crudites – green and fresh to complement the fresh qualities of the wine (especially whites), and a good offset to the fatty meats and cheeses.
REALITY: The hostess followed the appetizer suggestions to a T. Delicious black figs wrapped in prosciutto. Two goat cheeses, a Stilton that was great with the red wines, a unique cheddar with cranberry bits, interesting crackers. Several types of flavored nuts.
4. How many wines?
BEFORE: My hostess suggested either three whites and three reds, or two whites and two reds. I'm thinking six – Sauvignon Blanc, Russian Oak Chardonnay, Rosé, two Merlots and a Cabernet Sauvignon.
REALITY: Six was a perfect number.
5. How much wine is needed?
BEFORE: Each person doesn't get a full glass of each wine, they get a taste. I pour small amounts so people focus on listening. Figuring 6 ounces times 30 people, that's 180 oz. or between 6 and 9 bottles. Figuring 8 ounces total per person, that's 10 bottles.
REALITY: My estimate was about right. We went through a bottle, bottle and a half of each wine. A lot of people showed up late, either midway or near the end of the tasting. Also, not everyone drank wine.
6. How long does the wine tasting last?
BEFORE: My hostess suggested 1 1/2 hours.
REALITY: It took 1 1/2 to 2 hours. That's including my spiel, answering questions from the audience and the guests socializing amongst themselves between pours.
7. Will there be enough wine glasses there, or should I bring some?
I have a couple of racks of wine glasses that we occasionally use for liquor store wine tastings. Each rack holds 36 glasses. However, the hostess told me she had enough.
8. What did I talk about for 1 1/2 hours?
REALITY: Lots of stuff, like my overall framework for wine styles and wine tasting, vintages, what's it like to be a vineyard owner, the times of year that the grapes ripen, stainless steel, barrels, oak forests, barrel and bottle aging, the weather and varmints that attack the grapes. I really enjoyed it!

Congressional Republicans' three-day retreat this week was supposed to be about hammering out a policy agenda for the year. It didn't work out that way.
"The hot topic at congressional Republicans' annual policy retreat that began Thursday is not infrastructure, immigration, or even tax cuts — it's 'The Memo,'" the Boston Globe said Friday.
"While Republicans are dutifully attending seminars in a West Virginia mountain resort on reforming the government and overhauling the nation's roads, bridges, and airports, they're also waging a preemptive spin war" — and that was even before the midday release of the controversial classified GOP memo alleging surveillance abuses by law-enforcement officials investigating Russian interference in the 2016 elections.
While the spin war will only intensify now that the memo is out, GOP lawmakers will come away from their time at the Greenbrier resort "with little consensus on how to address the long to-do list awaiting them in Washington, D.C.," Roll Call reports, adding that "the silence on contentious lingering issues such as health care, government spending and immigration was deafening."

Grandma Tries to Sell Grandson, Fails Miserably
A 45-year-old woman named Patty Bigbee was arrested yesterday with her boyfriend after they tried to sell her baby grandson for $75,000. After some haggling the buyer, an undercover police informant, got Bigbee to agree to $30,000.
Bigbee allegedly approached someone about buying her 8-week-old grandson for $75,000. The whole transaction went down yesterday in a parking lot near the Daytona Speedway in Florida. Bigbee's boyfriend, Lawrence Works was also arrested. It's pretty damn sad that she settled for $30K after asking for $75K. The news report says Bigbee "has been involved in the sale of babies before." Uh, what?

2 dead after police standoff with Los Angeles gunman
LOS ANGELES – A gunman killed a man, opened fire on police and holed himself up in a Watts home with three children inside before shooting himself, police said Friday.
A woman believed to be his wife was wounded and taken to a hospital in grave condition, Deputy Chief Robert Green told KABC-TV.
The standoff began at about 3 a.m. Friday as a domestic dispute.
The gunman fatally wounded a man in a truck outside the house who later died and also shot at arriving police but didn't hit them, Green said. He retreated to a home and continued firing at officers, Green said.
After about a two-standoff, two children, believed to be 8 and 3 years old, came out of the house.
They told officers that "mom and dad" were dead in the home, Green said.
When SWAT officers entered, they found the man dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. A woman believed to be his wife was thought at first to have died but Green later said she was taken to a hospital in grave condition. A 1-year-old child was also in the home.
Police took away all three children.
"They'll be in our custody until we identify relatives," Green said.
No officers were hurt.
The names of the victims were not immediately released.

The Ultimate Comfort SystemTM from Lennox® brings you pioneering HVAC technology that delivers extraordinary energy efficiency. The Ultimate Comfort System is a collection of highly innovative pieces of technology that all coordinate to take your comfort to an incredible new level, with excellent efficiency. Learn more below. Precise Comfort® technology incorporates variable capacity and a variable speed motor, which operate like your car's cruise control to see that the system maintains consistent temperatures without temperature cycling. This keeps your home at your ideal temperature and level of comfort all day, while enhancing overall efficiency. iHarmony Zoning® takes your comfort and energy savings to a higher level. It permits the Ultimate Comfort System to direct air to specific rooms of your home while lowering airflow to other areas. This customizes your comfort by room and floor. The iComfort Wi-Fi® touchscreen thermostat makes iHarmony Zoning a snap to use. The most technologically advanced thermostat Lennox has ever designed, the iComfort Wi-Fi thermostat permits you to monitor and adjust your temperature—and save energy—from anywhere in the world, using your smartphone, tablet or laptop. Climate IQ® technology allows the Ultimate Comfort System to accommodate your needs and your climate. In warmer areas, it fine tunes airspeed to give you better humidity control. In cooler climates, the system starts up more slowly to allow the air to absorb more heat before circulation. SunSource® solar modules can power your heating and cooling AND move any surplus energy it generates into your home to run small appliances and electronics. This can dramatically lower your energy cost—potentially reducing bills by up to half. The XC25 is the world's first residential air conditioner rated at 26.00 SEER.* Compared to common cooling systems, it may save you hundreds of dollars each year. Advanced variable-capacity technology makes the SLP98V one of the most efficient heating systems you can find. Like the XC25, this furnace may significantly reduce utility bills. *SEER, or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, measures the cooling efficiency of your air conditioner or heat pump. A higher SEER rating means greater energy efficiency and more savings for you and the environment.

I suppose you could look at current trends & make a guess.
The ISM U.S. manufacturing purchasing managers' index came in at 47.8% in September, the lowest since June 2009.
Sure it is but the tariffs Trump has imposed are impacting manufacturing supply chains & that is showing in the linked report.
Also the farmers are starting to really feel the strain.

- Série organique
- 1993 - 1998
- 1993 - 1998
Letters and memoranda sent by the Development Committee Secretariat pursuant to the administrative operations of the Committee.
Letters and memoranda sent by the Development Committee Secretariat pursuant to the administrative operations of the Committee.
This series consists of numbered publications by the Development Committee on development issues such as environment, assistance to developing countries, trade and development, concessional flows, poverty, market prospects, and structural adjustment.
Verbatim records of Committee meetings
Transcripts of the proceedings of Development Committee meetings 1 through 45.
Master file of numbered Committee documents
This series contains a complete set of official numbered documents of the Committee which include but are not limited to topical papers distributed to members of the Committee prior to meetings, reports of working groups and task forces, records of discussion, and notices of meetings and proposed agendas. Statements to the Committee from the President of the World Bank and the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund are included, as are communiques from the meetings of the Intergovernmental Group of 24 on International Monetary Affairs. Beginning in 1988 the series also includes official statements made during the year by members and observers. Each document is usually present in English, French, and Spanish versions. The content of the documents is reflected in the titles of the items.
This series consists of the administrative records of each session of the Development Committee. Included are agendas, lists of speakers, attendance, travel and seating arrangements, drafts of statements, records of discussions, and internal and external correspondence relating to the meeting. As an example, the file on the 38th meeting (May 1990) includes the agenda, press communique, seating chart, remarks for plenary, afternoon, and closing sessions, luncheon arrangements, press conference attendance, information for participants, statements, background materials, administrative matters, and the record of discussions.
Meeting and Numbered Committee Document File
This series consists of both the administrative files on each meeting and the numbered Committee documents of the meeting; that is, it is a combination of the records found in (WB IBRD/IDA DC-02) and Meeting files (WB IBRD/IDA DC-03).
Records of meetings of deputies (senior officials)
In 1977 the Development Committee decided, as an experiment, to hold meetings of the deputies to the Committee members in advance of the Committee meetings, in order to prepare for the discussions in the full Committee. After four meetings the experiment was abandoned.
The records consist of agendas and information packets for the four meetings, verbatim transcripts, and numbered documents. Topics covered are the same as those of the Development Committee for the period, including the role of multilateral development institutions, review of the work program of the Committee, a report of the Working Group on access to capital markets, and a Mexican proposal for a long-term recycling facility.
Records of sub-committees, task forces, and working groups
During its first years, the Development Committee created subordinate bodies to help manage the Committee itself (the Sub-committee on Administration) and to investigate issues and propose positions (task forces and working groups). In 1979 the Committee decide to abolish working groups, but task forces with a specific limited task and duration might still be established. Thereafter the Committee created task forces rarely, choosing instead to handle most matters within the Secretariat and the Committee.
An ad hoc working group on administration was established by the Committee chairman and met in Paris on 9 June 1975, to discuss the budget and organization of the Committee. This working group recommended the establishment of a sub-committee of the Development Committee, to be designated the Sub-committee on Administration, to consist of ten members to review the budget (see numbered Committee document DC/75-17). Although the sub-committee was intended to be a continuing body, it failed to gain acceptance and was terminated in 1978.
The Development Committee created task forces on private foreign investment (1979-1980), non-concessional flows (1980-1982), and concessional flows (1982-1985) and working groups on access to capital markets (1975-1978) and on development finance and policy (1977-1979). These bodies commissioned papers, held meetings and consultations, and prepared proposals for the Development Committee. The papers and proposals, prepared as numbered documents, provide important overviews of world economic mechanisms as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of the twentieth century. Of particular interest are records of a seminar held by the Working Group on access to capital markets in October of 1978. The seminar brought together representatives of developing countries and market operators and institutional investors, and the report of proceedings shows the divergent points of view current at that time.
Annual reports to the Boards of Governors
The series includes the annual reports of the Development Committee to the Boards of Governors of the International Monetary Fund and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, a press release on the 1978 report, and the reviews of the Committee in 1978 and 1981 as presented to the Boards of Governors.
The series consists of subject files covering the operations of the Committee on a day-to-day basis. These include records of meetings of the Committee President with various members, with the President of the Bank and the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (the three together are known as the Troika), and with the Intergovernmental Group of Twenty-Four on International Monetary Affairs. There are records of administrative matters such as governance and membership, budgets, work programs,and correspondence with other multi-lateral international development agencies. Other files contain information on topics of interest to the Committee, such as health, environment, and debt issues, while still others are speeches, general correspondence, and the publication of a pamphlet for the tenth anniversary of the Committee.
When this series was in active use, it was the heart of the Development Committee secretariat operations, according to former Executive Secretary Peter Mountfield. It is an essential resource for understanding the scope and operations of the Development Committee during its first two decades.
This series contains correspondence and background material relating to development issues studied by the Development Committee. It includes the principal body of records on the Working Group on access to capital markets. These files are essential for understanding the initial conceptualizations of the Development Committee as to its area of activity and the extent of its coordinating functions in the field of development.
Chairman's chronological files
Letters and memoranda sent by the Chairman in furtherance of the operations of the Development Committee.

About 1.1 billion people in the world survive on just $1 a day.
It's a fact that economics students Chris Temple and Zach Ingrasci couldn't get out of their heads.
"What can I do? That's the hardest part about it ... there is no one answer," says Temple. "[The U.S.] has poured $2.5 trillion dollars into international development trying to end poverty and a lot of times it just made things worse."
Together, the pair decided to take their studies outside the classroom, to someplace more practical — the edge of poverty itself. Living on $1 a day for two months, they moved to a remote Guatemalan town to study the people's relationship with money and see how access to credit could impact their survival.
They documented their journey in a new film called "Living On One."Two Claremont McKenna College students moved to a remote village in Guatemala, where they would try to survive on an income of $1 per day for a total of 56 days.
"For all our academic learning, there were some things a textbook just couldn't answer."
They chose the town of Pena Blanca, which is majority Mayan.
Half the town's 300-some residents live below the poverty line.
They weren't interested in hotels. Here's where they (along with two videographers) lived for six weeks.
That meant sleeping on a bed of dirt with a few sheets of cardboard and blankets.
Fleas feasted on them during the night.
Here's their budget: $1 per day, per person for a total of $224.
To make their experiment realistic, they split the $224 into random denominations between 0 and 9. Each morning, they drew a slip of paper out of a hat with how much money they'd "earn" that day.
Their logic was simple: Most people in the town were day laborers and never knew how much they'd earn on a typical day.
Like a lot of people in the town, they decided to start their own small business with a micro-finance loan from a small nonprofit called Grameen.
With their loan, they invested in a small radish farm.
Some locals showed them to the town's only water source.
"Dude. There's a bug in there."
It was also loaded with sediment and (as they'd find out later) some nasty parasites.
Survival kit: With $15, they bought some black beans, rice, bananas, toilet paper, firewood, and matches.
Hitching a bumpy ride home on the back of a pick-up truck set them back another $2.
"This is the best thing I've ever eaten."
In total, they lived off 800 to 900 calories per day ���about half the recommended value.
Within days, one of them collapsed from lack of food and working outside.
Here's Zach at the beginning of the trip.
And on Day 10.
And Chris on Day One.
At Day 10.
Zach: "That was the point where I was like, I want to go home. I need to get out of here. Why am I doing this? And we were eating better than a lot of people in the community."
A friendly neighbor asked the pair to visit his school.
The tiny school was home to more than 300 students, about 40 percent of whom would drop out.
They'd help their families more by finding work than spending money on schooling.
Here's Chino, age 12 (left). He quit school when his family could no longer afford his tuition. He collects wood during the day.
Around day 30, things started to take a turn for the worse. Chris came down with a nasty parasite and E. Coli.
Thanks to their random drawing system, they spent four days living on just $2. No cash for food.
The medicine cost $25 �� a relatively huge expense for people with no savings. That got them thinking ... how did people pay for unexpected emergencies?
Bank loans aren't an option. They require a ton of information no day laborer would have: an electricity bill, pay stubs, three months worth of bills, and two co-signers.
For people like Rosa, who dropped out of school because her family couldn't afford it, micro-finance loans were the answer.
With $200, Rosa started her own weaving business. She went back to school, too.
Chris: "It was so huge to see the potential for what even the simple access to credit can do in the lives of our neighbors, of our close friends."
"That's what we're trying to prove," he says. "So much here is the power of partial solutions."
By day 56, they were physically in shambles, but they had managed to stick to their budget.
On their last day in the town, Anthony had one request: "Don't forget about the people of Pena Blanca."
They haven't. Chris and Zach are touring the country with their documentary, and have launched a non-profit micro-lending business called Living On One.

text: Urbanization and environmental change have worked in tandem over the course of Mexican history. Hinterland production, the establishment of market economies, and the intensive transformation of nature have fueled urban growth. The concentration of capital and expertise in cities has, in turn, enabled urban elites to rework the urban environment by creating industrial centers, executing technical-heavy infrastructure, building new subdivisions, and regulating hygiene. From the beaches of Cancún and the air and water pollution of Tijuana's industrial parks to the prolific silver mines of Zacatecas and the henequen monoculture surrounding Mérida, Yucatán, rapid urban growth and profound changes to the environment within and outside cities have depended on and intersected with each other.

Get ready to explore and bike New York with these fantastic itineraries.
RECOMMENDED: The best ways to bike New York
Destination: Fort Tilden
Fierce waves and an unofficial clothing-optional policy made Fort Tilden hugely popular among New Yorkers without Hamptons homes, until the National Park Service closed it after Hurricane Sandy. Great news: The beach has finally reopened. It's a long ride, but it's mostly flat. Let the Atlantic wash away the sweat of a solid trek, and make headway on that paperback you've been toting around.
Refuel: Cruise over to Rockaway Taco (95-19 Rockaway Beach Blvd at Beach 96th St, the Rockaways, Queens; 347-213-7466, rockawaytaco.com) for an antojito taco ($3.50), along with a refreshing cucumber, mango and jicama salad ($4).
Route: From the Williamsburg Bridge, take Wythe Avenue south and continue along Franklin Avenue, passing doughnut shop Dough. Turn left at Nostrand Avenue, and take an immediate right onto Bedford Avenue. Take Bedford Avenue south—past Brooklyn College and the Sears, Roebuck Building—until it ends at the waterfront. Turn left onto Emmons Avenue, then continue for a half mile and merge onto the Belt Parkway Greenway for two miles. Merge onto Flatbush Avenue, pass Floyd Bennett Field and cross the Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge. Turn right on Rockaway Point Boulevard, and theFort Tilden beach entrance is on your left. From the beach, head east along the Jacob Riis Park promenade and take Rockaway Beach Boulevard for 2.5 miles to Rockaway Taco.
Destination: Crotona Park
If you've exhausted the obvious uptown destinations—the Bronx Zoo and the New York Botanical Garden; both are accessible by bike—check out Crotona Park (1700 Crotona Ave at Claremont Pkwy, Bronx). The green space boasts an Olympic-size pool—the Bronx's largest—a 3.3-acre lake and 28 species of trees (the shade will come in handy).
Refuel: Since 2008, Mexicocina (503 Jackson Ave at 147th St, Bronx; 347-498-1055,mexicocinabronx.com) owner and chef Antonio Vilchis has served classic dishes from his home state of Puebla with a few original twists (e.g., bacon in the cheesy meat-fest alambres).
Route: From Manhattan, bike across the Willis Avenue Bridge and take Willis Avenue north. Continue onto Third Avenue, and then turn left onto East 150th Street. Take an immediate right onto Melrose Avenue and continue onto Park Avenue. At Claremont Parkway, turn right and enter Crotona Park. Then ride south on Prospect Avenue and take a slight right onto Southern Boulevard. Turn right onto East 147th Street and continue for four blocks to Mexicocina.
Destination: Socrates Sculpture Park
Socrates Sculpture Park (32-01 Vernon Blvd at Broadway, Astoria, Queens; 718-956-1819, socratessculpturepark.org; free) was a derelict waterfront dumping ground until 1986, when a coalition of artists and community leaders, led by sculptor Mark di Suvero, enlisted local youths to transform it into an outdoor exhibition space and public park. On May 11, the space welcomes two new pieces: Queen Mother of Reality, pictured, a stunning megalithic sculpture by visionary Polish artist Pawel Althamer, and Scarecrow, a site-specific installation by artist Žilvinas Kempinas.
Refuel: After you enjoy the art and stunning views of Roosevelt Island and Manhattan, ride into Jackson Heights for authentic North and South Indian delicacies. Dosa Delight(35-66 73rd St at 37th Ave, Jackson Heights, Queens; 718-397-1000, dosa-delight.com) offers gut-busting thalis, or combo plates ($8.99–$14.99), and dosas that will steal your heart.
Route: From the Williamsburg Bridge, take Kent Avenue north past East River Park and continue onto Franklin Street. Turn right onto Eagle Street and cross the Pulaski Bridge to Long Island City, Queens. Turn left onto Jackson Avenue, then right to take 51st Street to Vernon Boulevard. Turn right and follow the Vernon Boulevard bike path for two miles, passing under the Queensboro Bridge, to Socrates Sculpture Park. From the park, head south on Vernon Boulevard for two blocks and turn left onto 34th Avenue. Just before Northern Boulevard, turn left onto 47th Street, and then right on Broadway. Turn left onto 60th Street and then make an immediate right onto 34th Avenue, crossing under the BQE. Turn right on 73rd Street and continue for two blocks to Dosa Delight.
Destination: Fort Wadsworth
The ground on which Staten Island's Fort Wadsworth (Bay St at Wadsworth Ave, Staten Island; nps.gov/gate; free) now stands was originally fortified by the British in the middle of the Revolutionary War, and continued to operate as the oldest active military installation in the United States until 1994. Explore the site including the derelict Battery Weed and the catacomb-like tunnels and gunpowder rooms; the brave can rent a campground ($20).
Refuel: Visit nearby Da Noi (138 Fingerboard Rd at Tompkins Ave, Staten Island; 718-720-1650, danoinyc.com), a white-tablecloth Italian joint serving traditional fare like risotto milanese ($19) and linguine frutti di mare ($19).
Route: From the Staten Island Ferry Terminal (easily accessible by bike along the East River Bikeway), take Bay Street south past Staten Island Borough Hall and the Alice Austen House to Fort Wadsworth. For Da Noi, take Lily Pond Road under the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. Turn left onto Lincoln Place and then right onto Garfield Avenue. Continue onto Tomkins Avenue and turn right onto Fingerboard Road.
Destination: Salvation Army warehouse
The massive Salvation Army warehouse (39-11 61st St at 39th Ave, Woodside, Queens; salvationarmyusa.org) is a little-known gem for thrift-shoppers seeking designer clothing, musical instruments, kitchen appliances—even furniture. Of course, you won't be riding home with a John-John sofa strapped to your back, but you could stuff a backpack or pannier with some high-end loot. It's not unusual to dig up Prada shoes and Armani skirts.
Refuel: Ride a few blocks east to Sripraphai (64-13 39th Ave between 64th and 65th Sts, Woodside, Queens; 718-899-9599, sripraphairestaurant.com). This longtime destination for Queens-bound epicures constantly draws new devotees into its flock: Its reasonably priced entrées (most $9–$11) keep us coming back. The sinus-clearing drunken noodles ($10), whole red snapper ($23) and crispy watercress salad ($11) are especially tasty.
Route: From the Queensboro Bridge, turn left at Skillman Avenue, then right onto 43rd Avenue for a mile. Turn left onto 48th Street, and then right onto 39th Avenue. At Woodside Avenue, turn left and then make a sharp right to continue on 39th Avenue. Turn right onto 61st Street. From the store, take 61st Street to 39th Avenue, turn right and continue for three-and-a-half blocks.
