oh ho ho ho -- ASOKA, the film that killed my interest in Bollywood films for a decade or so. You see, I hadn't seen any -- so I was not prepared for this characterless, nearly story-less dance-a-thon, essentially a drawn-out series of music videos. Nobody shines except the costumes and rapid camera cuts, and the very slight amount of plot is held to the end -- making a film which seems curiously both too short [what, it's over?] and too long [I had to wait through that many songs for this?]. You might enjoy the dancing though.
personal rating: 2/5
This is a 2001 Indian epic historical drama directed and co-written by Santosh Sivan.
It is a dramatised version of the early life of Emperor Asoka of the Maurya dynasty, who ruled most of the Indian subcontinent in the 3rd century BCE.
Emperor Chandragupta Maurya, grandfather of Asoka, has decided to embrace Jainism and abdicate the throne of the empire in-favour of his son Bindusara.
But his grandson, Prince Asoka, claims his sword.
The old emperor explains that this sword is evil and the sword demands blood and destruction.
A terrible war is fought in Kalinga.
The Maurya army inflicts a crushing defeat on Kalinga.
Not content with mere victory, Maurya soldiers butcher everyone in sight.
The film ends with Asoka throwing the sword at the same spot his grandfather had thrown it and embracing Buddhism.
Brilliant epic loosely based on legends of Emperor Asoka from the 3rd century BC. A bit over-long, with the mandatory musical numbers, but overall a powerful and very compelling story.
Action, drama, romance, this movie was quite entertaining and brings a "loose" account of a great leader in India and the world.

1 I love my boyfriend, but when we engage in intercourse, he seems to be interested in my breasts alone. He does not not seem to enjoy oral sex, the actual act of intercourse or even any other form of foreplay as much. I would like more variety in our sex life, but I also don't want to upset him. Is it normal for men to be so obsessed with breasts?
The breasts are a popular subject of foreplay. It's important for you to have a frank and open discussion and show him some of the other points which arouse you and which may interest you and him. You may order my book named 'It's Normal' from a book shop or the internet — you can use it to help him understand.
2 I am a 21-year-old woman and I live in a joint family with very orthodox views. For some time now, my family has been looking for prospective grooms to arrange my marriage with, and they have finally come across one man they appear to like a lot. There is a lot of pressure on me to marry him, and I have met him a few times. He recently said he enjoys anal sex and would not want to marry me if I was against it. I am a virgin and have heard that anal sex is painful as well as unsafe. I cannot bring this issue up with my family, but perhaps I can put my concerns down to a health issue. Please advise.
You will have to understand how serious he is about this, and then decide, along with your parents, what course of action to pursue. Do not consider marriage if you are very doubtful. Anal sex is not legally permitted and it can also be painful. Besides, if done with the male wearing a condom, it can cause an infection as well.

Campaign workshop
This is a series of activities that can be run separately or one after the other if you've got a whole group night to spare. They involve
- representing unfamiliar opinions
- exploring an issue in depth
- matching messages with audiences
- planning how to get your message across
Take action
There are lots of ways to campaign, collaborate and make change with Woodcraft's help:
Right to Refuge in Cheltenham
All our local Woodcraft groups have benefitted from the Right to Refuge campaign. We have each tried one or two things from the campaigns website; all of these have been valuable not only to the growth of our Woodcraft group but have also helped our local asylum seekers settle in to their new home. Why don't you, at the click of a button, find your local asylum seekers group on Google? By building up links between our Woodcraft groups and the local community we can help out in developing a friendship that profits all.
Right to Refuge campaign materials
The TREE Communications Group, who run Woodcraft's Right to Refuge campaign, have created a leaflet about refugees and asylum seekers in the UK, full of ideas on how we can help them. They've also created a postcard with simple messages about the Right to Refuge campaign.
Woodcraft Folk at the March
Woodcraft parachute on march
Elfins write to the government
Woodcraft Folk and political activity
Woodcraft Folk members are playing an active role in the large public demonstrations in 2010 and 2011. Just like in 2003 the movement's high profile in civil society offers us the prospect of reaching out to new adults and children. However, as we become more visible, so we must expect our position to be questioned - so here are some questions answered.

Civilization VI DirectX 12 PC Performance Review
Published: 22nd November 2016 | Source: OC3D | Price: |
Civilization VI's Fall update has provided gamers with some significant performance upgrades over the launch-day version of the game, though these performance gains have not come from the addition of DirectX 12 support.
Thanks to new drivers and optimisations to the games codebase Civilization VI now has enhanced minimum framerates for our test system to what used to be our system's average framerates, delivering a significantly smoother experience in-game. This applies to both AMD and Nvidia-powered systems, effectively improving the game's performance for all players on the PC platform.
Sadly when we play this game under the new DirectX 12 API we do not achieve improved performance over DirectX 11, though the improvements that have been made to the game outside of DirectX 12 support have been hugely significant.
When using both AMD and Nvidia GPUs we see performance decreases when running under Directx 12, though Nvidia-based systems do see a larger performance decrease than their AMD-powered counterparts. It looks like PC gamers will need to wait for a future update before they will see any real benefit when using the new DirectX 12 API in Civilization VI.
Like many recent releases with post-launch DirectX 12 support, Civilization VI is unable to take advantage of the modern API, as the game requires a significant overhaul to take advantages of the API's new features and potential for increased efficiency. Developers do not simply switch to DirectX 12 and achieve performance improvements automatically, which means that a lot of work is still required for DirectX 12 to achieve the performance gains that many gamers would expect.
Like Rise of the Tomb Raider, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and many other DirectX 12 titles, Civilization VI will need more patches and development time before the new API is really worth using for the majority of PC gamers. Civilization players will need to wait for a few more turns before they should consider trying out this new graphical API, though it should be a worthwhile wait in the end.
You can join the discussion on Civilization VI's DirectX 12 performance on the OC3D Forums.

Can Modern E-Learning Development Follow a Process That Ensures Quality?
Five critical concepts must be recognized and accepted to create quality e-learning in the modern environment. These concepts are: 1) instructional design principles and procedure do exist and can positively affect the quality of e-learning products, 2) not all subject matter experts are instructional designers so they should be partnered with someone who has the expertise to design e-learning, 3) saving money on development through the use of free content elements may ultimately cost even more money if learners become disengaged or the desired learning outcomes are not achieved, 4) a systematic approach to design and development is needed to ensure that accurate and thorough learning environments are created, and, 5) a balance of quality, efficiency and economy is achievable through the implementation of a cost benefit analysis.

Article Summary:
Original Article Text From Revista Summa via Google Translate :
Nicaragua is Still Far From Developing
Although among the greatest achievements attributed to the administration of President Daniel Ortega is the 'good management "of the economy, the average growth achieved during the five years 2007-2011 was only 2.68%.
Economists describe the figure as "insufficient" to maximize the growth potential of the country out of underdevelopment. It has also been the result of external factors outside the government's handling, making it urgent implementation of "policies" to change the picture.
"We have a social debt accumulated since the eighties, there is much to pay for the millennium goals will not be met in education, health, drinking water and energy. So we have a very long way to go to solve the problems of the classes with lower economic capacity, "emphasizes the economist Rene Vallecillo.
The average growth of 2.68% during the five years, is located below the 3.42% achieved under the administration of Enrique Bolaños (2002-2006) and 4.36% by Arnoldo Alemán (1997-2001).
"The figure is closer to the 2.17% achieved during the administration of President Violeta Barrios de Chamorro, between 1990 and 1996, when the country experienced a period of transition, after passing through a decade in which a decrease in accumulated -3.10% "and inflation up to 33547.9% in 1988, says economist Jose Luis Medal.
To maintain this growth rate the country must condemned the backwardness and underdevelopment. Experts insist that to locate the level of the Central American economies in the medium term and address the poverty and underdevelopment problems in the long run, it takes an average annual growth of between six and eight%.
"Nicaragua is about half of the Honduran economy. Represents one quarter of the economies of other countries in the area and sixth in the Costa Rican economy, "said Vallecillo.
Medal Vallecillo and recognize that progress has been made in the fight against poverty.However, reaffirm that they are insufficient.
Uncontrolled factors are driving growth
Consider the lack of industrialization policies to steer the economy towards higher growth, causes the growth relies almost entirely on "external factors that can not be controlled by governments, such as increasing the price of export products registered in recent years and the strong aid flows that entered the country in 1999 after Hurricane Mitch, causing this year a growth of 7%, "said Medal.
Add also contributed to the current economic growth continuity in policy implementation "neoliberal export promotion and external opening to apply for twenty years."
In the last two years, commodities like gold, coffee and beef prices reached record. That allowed mining in 2011 reached an average annual growth of 46% ranking as the industry's fastest growing economy, according to the Central Bank of Nicaragua.
The president of the Chamber of Mines of Nicaragua (Caminic), Sergio Rios, indicates that in 2011 the gold price experienced an increase of 17%.
The increase was driven, among other things, the growing demand caused by the weakness of the currencies, low interest rates and inflation and uncertainty about financial stability.
Rivers noted that growth goes hand in hand with a substantial increase in production. "As gold is a commodity subject to price fluctuation, which is why for Nicaragua in the long run is very important to the growth in production. The increase in production over the last three years has been over 130%, "he explains
Second growth stood the construction sector, to 15.7%, driven mainly by private investment that is made with Venezuelan cooperation funds.
"It's been a good year. Public investment increased by 8%, over 20% private. In 2011 construction began zones, energy and tourism projects. There was also a revival of the housing, which is key to the industry, "says Mario Zelaya, president of the Nicaraguan Chamber of Construction (NCC).
The factor Venezuela
According to Zelaya, the development of projects with Venezuelan cooperation funds through private enterprise was key to the growth of the sector.
"Projects such as Streets for the People, where resurfacing the main streets of Managua, many projects with hydraulic concrete, paving was all over the country. They also invested in power plants and road projects in the area of Leon and Chinandega. Only in 2011 these road projects developed with Venezuelan cooperation funds were between $ 35 and $ 40 million, "explains Zelaya.
The service sector associated with the construction (hardware industry and manufacture of construction materials), also received a big boost through this route.
Increases in the international meat prices, opening new markets and entry into the country in the group are indicated by Rene Sukarne Brazier, president of the National Livestock Commission (CONAGO) as the factors that allowed the livestock sector located in the third place with an average growth of 11%. According to Blandon, in the absence of funding, good international prices have led to re-engineering in livestock, which have improved the broiler and productivity. "I never thought we put a steer at slaughter in plants was leaving us 400 kilos, more than U.S. $ 600," said Blandon.
Growth could be higher
Economist José Luis Medal explains that the economic growth variables involved that the government can not control, such as increasing the price of export products or recession, but also other causes with their actions and decisions.
Estimated that growth in 2007-2011 period could be greater if he had lost the support of the Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) and the resources provided through the Budget Support Group (GAP), which were suspended following electoral fraud of 2008.
For his part, economist Rene Vallecillo view to securing further growth and situations of this kind is indispensable industrialization policies that include aspects of institutional and legal certainty.

The confusing list of compound and tread designs in industrial truck tires and wheels – unnecessary or purposeful?
The seemingly exhaustive list of compounds and tread designs available in the industrial tire and wheel market could be considered as unnecessary for some, but the existence of these complex choices is justified if we consider the thousand different combinations of usage conditions - which result from the different types of floor conditions, different loads and different speed requirements – we encounter today.
Tire and wheel producers, relying on their established experience and expertise, group together these broad combinations of usage conditions to create a simpler list of product offerings that matched specific requirements in each group. For example, optimum tire performance in wet conditions is not always achieved simply by using grooved or siped tires, but rather by combining unconventional smooth tires fitted with more suitable high traction compounds. In another example, the load capability of a tire or wheel might not be the only consideration, but rather the tear strength of the compound should also be considered to find the most resilience tire for an extreme duty condition.
The subtle design objective of each tire profile could significantly improve productivity and reduce cost when properly employed. For instance, high reach class II industrial trucks could have both greater stability and longer work life with the larger footprint of the TSW (Tapered Side Wall) profile rather than that of a traditional SF (Smooth Flat) profile.
Superior Tire & Rubber Corp. has conducted thorough research and worked in conjunction with truck manufacturers to find the best solutions that matched particular usage demands. So, Superior Tire & Rubber Corp. offers both an extensive Polyurethane compound range, such as our Cushothane®, Cushothane® EZTM, Cushothane® XLTM, Cushothane® XL-ACTM compounds, with multiple groove, sipe, profile options, and consulting services to match every usage condition.
About Superior Tire & Rubber Corp.
Founded in 1964, Superior Tire & Rubber Corp. is a designer and manufacturer of polyurethane and rubber industrial components for the material handling, construction, agricultural, military and mining industries. All Superior Tire & Rubber Corp.'s product offerings are proudly engineered and produced in the USA on state of the art processing and machining equipment, overseen by quality management systems registered to ISO 9001:2008.

Burundi is listed as one of the poorest countries in the world according to the United Nations. Its economic and social development has been affected by the consequences of civil disorders erupting between 1993 and 2005 making Burundi a fragile state from the Great Lakes region.
The country faces in particular a strong demographic growth (2.9%), a very high population density (~360 inhab/ km²) and a very low growth domestic product (GDP) per capita. More than 90% of Burundi's population depends on agriculture which contributes for 35% to the GDP and is mainly based on subsistence farming.
Furthermore, since the beginning of 2015, the country is gripped by a political crisis with security implications directly impacting the progress made since 2005. Since direct support to the Burundi government and institutions were temporarily suspended in March 2016, the European Union chose to redirect a part of its aid to activities directly benefitting local population and civil society. In addition, the EU still finances ongoing activities but also initiates new development operations with the communities concerned and supports humanitarian and emergency actions for the fight against poverty and for access to basic services.
The National Indicative Programme (NIP) 2014 – 2020 under the 11thEuropean Development Fund has set aside €432 million for Burundi and outlined among the main focal sectors of the EU cooperation with the country:

Work and Residence Permits
In January 2002, the government issued an order exempting senior executives of Botswana IFSC approved companies from the normal requirements of work and residence permits. While IFSC companies are still required to make a commitment to provide employment opportunities for suitably qualified citizens, the IFSC recognizes the need for foreign companies to bring in expert skills from outside to set up the new operation. As such, executives of approved companies can obtain 1 – 3 year permits, which can be extended if necessary.
The Botswana IFSC will assist approved companies in the entire application process, to ensure that the necessary permits are obtained in a timely manner.
Requirements for Application for Exemption (Work Permit)
- 2 x Form 4 duly completed
- 2 x passport photographs of applicant

- 4 x passport photos
- Copy of Exemption Certificate
- If applicant is accompanied by dependents, two passport size photographs of each dependent and photocopies of their passports
- P80.00 application fee (Approximately USD 16.00)
- All applications should be routed through the Botswana IFSC
All necessary forms can be obtained from the Botswana IFSC offices.
All visitors must be in possession of a passport valid for at least six months, except those with United Nations Convention travel documents. Visitors must also have outgoing travel documents and sufficient funds to finance their stay. Valid entry visas are mandatory, and may be obtained from Botswana's various embassies and high commissions abroad. In countries where Botswana is not represented, visas may be obtained from the British High Commission. Entry visas obtained at border posts are valid for a maximum of 30 days, although extensions may be obtained from any immigration office in Botswana. No visitor is allowed more than a 90-day stay in every calendar year, unless permission has been granted in the form of a waiver pending the outcome of a residence permit application.
Visas are not required for nationals of Commonwealth countries (except for Ghana, India, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan), and some foreign countries with which Botswana has concluded visa abolition agreements. These include Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Republic of Ireland, Samoa, San Marino, Sweden, Switzerland, United States of America, Uruguay and Serbia and Montenegro.

In the current Anand - Carlsen world championship match, Carlsen has just won the 5th game when Anand had to resign on the 58th move in a lost rook ending.
Carlsen had a very slight edge out of the opening but the plan of 23. Rhf1 and 24. Rf4 did not seem enough to pressure black. Anand attributed his loss to 34....Rd4 which to me seems a perfectly good move but then again I am not the world champ! The champion's last chance to hold seems to be on the 45th move when instead of 45...Rc1+ he should have played 45...Ra1 and pick up the white a-pawn.

—Blessed Mother Teresa (St. Teresa of Calcutta)
For Mother Teresa, these were more than words. This was a way of life. Just as Mother Teresa, we can serve God and live our lives by showing others great love. Simple gestures — whether it be a smile, a word of encouragement, a random act of kindness or a sacrifice — can have the most meaningful and biggest impact on others.
This school year, let's focus on making this a practice in our own daily lives — and teach our children to do the same. Together, we will make a difference.

Kampo doctors diagnose conditions that may lead to illness
Do you know any Kampo doctors? Kampo doctors, having originated from ancient Chinese medicine and developed in Japan, diagnose patients based on interviewing them, taking their pulses, examining their tongues, and palpating their abdomens, and treat them by mainly prescribing herbal medicine containing natural drugs. Until the latter half of the Edo period, all doctors in Japan were Kampo doctors. Around the time when the study of Western sciences was introduced by Genpaku Sugita and Ryotaku Maeno, Western medicine began to appear. Since then, Western medicine has been the mainstream medicine until now. But, recently, Kampo medicine, in which patients are fully diagnosed, is being reconsidered with growing expectations being placed on Kampo doctors.
Kampo doctors use an approach of dealing with conditions that may lead to illnesses before actually manifesting itself as illnesses (sub-health issues) as their specialty. Since an important aspect of Kampo is not only to simply cure illnesses, but also to promote a long, healthy life with no limitations to daily activities; it considers dealing with the conditions at that level to be important.
But traditionally diagnostic standards in Kampo have often relied on the doctor's own knowledge and experience. Therefore, it has been difficult to produce data on processes that would help other doctors objectively understand the basis for a diagnosis. Objectively capturing a doctor's palpations as data using ICT would require a sensitive, flexible sensor that causes neither the doctor nor patient to feel uncomfortable—a key feature considered during development.
Visualizing a doctor's palpations
Fujitsu Limited, Fujitsu Laboratories, and the Kitasato Institute's Kitasato University Oriental Medicine Research Center together have developed a sensitive thin-film pressure sensor that can detect where the body is being palpated by the Kampo doctor and can capture firmness data. This is a glove-type touch sensor that does not diminish the doctor's sense of touch when palpating. The sensor tracks the movement of the doctor's hand with an accuracy of approximately 0.2 mm, using reflective markers attached to the fingertips of the glove and an infrared camera that monitors those markers. The glove-type sensor eliminates the need for a driver power source in the pressure-sensing components that come in contact with the patient, resulting in low power consumption and improved safety.
The partners used this sensor to capture touch-data in a mock examination experiment, and confirmed that numerical data from palpations can be captured. This sensor enables data from palpations of Kampo doctors to be formalized and expressed objectively, which until now has been difficult, allowing data on sub-health conditions, which would not be diagnosed as illnesses in Western medicine before symptoms appear, to be produced and accumulated. In addition, since this will also lead to supporting Kampo doctors and developing human resources, more people may use Kampo medicine or comprehensive medical examinations in Kampo.
Fujitsu Limited, Fujitsu Laboratories, and the Oriental Medicine Research Center are considering ways to further improve sensor sensitivity and expand sensor coverage to the palm of the hand, and look forward to assisting doctors with their palpations while amassing data from palpations by Kampo practitioners using this technology to make it objectively accessible.

We work in partnership with Texas Cemetery Restoration to help local cemeteries like Young, Collinsworth, Old City, and Davis restore and preserve their aging headstones & markers.
In addition to cemetery restoration we also research, write, and install educational wayside signs for historic locations like cemeteries, trails, and other significant sites.
We strive to make Plano's historic cemeteries appealing and accessible to both locals and tourists. We hold annual events that show visitors many of Plano's hidden historical assets and cultivate a more informed population.
The second phase of restoration of the Plano Mutual Cemetery was finished in April 2017. This phase concentrated on restoring the Masonic section.
On May 6, 2017 we held a free community event where participants could explore Plano Mutual Cemetery, clean headstones, and honor buried veterans. Over 100 headstones were cleaned!
In early 2017 we installed a new wayside sign at Baccus Cemetery in West Plano. Baccus Cemetery rests in the middle of Legacy Town Center.
In 2015 we held a free cemetery restoration workshop at Old City Cemetery in partnership with Texas Cemetery Restoration. This program was funded by a grant from the Plano Heritage Commission.
In 2016 we demolished the damaged chainlink fence around Bethany Cemetery and installed a brand new black fence.
At our 1st ever Tombstone Mysteries we invited the community to help us clean up Old City Cemetery and Davis Cemetery. Participants cleaned headstones and went on a scavenger hunt.

text: Let's just say, I'm so amazed at all the strength, determination, and friendship that exists between these kids from Cypress Dojo in Gainseville, Florida! This past weekend, I went to Atlanta to watch my best friend since I was 3, Kaylyn Kraus, test for her black belt in Cuong Nhu, an oriental martial art style. Cypress dojo had 4 people testing for their black belt, Kaylyn, Alex, Tom, and Jesus, and all four passed (woot woot!). Now, this is no easy test. My body was falling apart just watching them, and it's just a breeze for them to break through 3-4 wooden boards with their elbow. You know, they are super ninjas, or more formally, senseis! In addition, I met some wonderful people from the Cypress Dojo & am excited to finally put a face to all the people Kaylyn talks of constantly! They are truly a huge family of awesome people! Congratulations, y'all--go on to great things!

The Magic Valley's Times-News is reporting that a researcher in Utah recently found out that a Mormon temple in Twin Falls performed a proxy baptism for Daniel Pearl last summer. Pearl was a Jewish writer whose beheading in Pakistan while reporting for The Wall Street Journal in 2002 was videotaped and distributed online by Islamic extremists.
The proxy baptism was performed without his family's knowledge or consent, and is yet another public-relations blow to the Mormon Church, which has taken consistent heat for its members' baptisms of holocaust victims, despite repeated calls from the church to halt the practice.
From the article:
Reached by phone, Pearl's mother, Ruth, said she and her husband were dismayed when informed of the ceremony by a reporter from the Boston Globe, which first reported the news. According to the paper, the researcher is Helen Radkey, an excommunicated Mormon who combs through church archives.
"We realize that the Mormon ministers who baptized our son posthumously meant to offer him salvation in the most honorable way they know how," she said in statement. "To them we say: We appreciate your good intentions but rest assured that Danny's soul was redeemed through the life that he lived and the values that he upheld. He lived as a proud Jew, died as a proud Jew and is currently facing his creator as a Jew—blessed, accepted and redeemed."
Officials from the Twin Falls temple told the Times-News they were looking into the matter and could not confirm or deny the act.

Preparing for different emergencies
Flooding and extreme weather
The Water Knowledge Hub provides simple flood resilience actions businesses can take:
Check whether you are in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or seas on the Environment Agency's flood map [1]
Sign up for free flood warnings [2] so you can make sure you are ready
Think ahead by developing a flood plan [3]
Complete a free business resilience healthcheck [4] to get a personalised report about how your business can prepare for flooding and severe weather
The Federation of Small Businesses and Climate Ready at the Environment Agency found that a third of businesses in the UK have no business continuity insurance and nearly 60% have no plans in place to deal with extreme weather - despite two thirds having been affected by snow, drought or floods in the last three years.
There are simple steps all businesses can take to ensure that they are prepared for adverse weather, such as signing up for flood warnings, installing flood protection systems and checking that they have the necessary insurance.
More information:
Our Water Knowledge Hub [5] has top tips, information and resources to help businesses prepare for water related risks, with particular information to help businesses in flood-risk hotspots [6]. The National Flood Forum has put together some great advice for before, during and after flooding, 'Ready for Flooding' [7].

Information Technology and fraud
We have pulled together simple information, tools and advice to help improve the security of small and medium sized businesses. Read more [9].
Many small and medium sized businesses are unaware they are at risk of attacks to their IT systems and online fraud. The reality is if your business is online then you are a target and a lack of cyber security poses a threat to your profitability, cash flow and reputation.
Almost everyone uses the internet for business from selling, through to communicating with customers and managing finances. It can bring significant business opportunities, but also a range of particular risks that need to be understood and mitigated.

Guangxi Province, China/ Shellie Bailey-Shah
Guangxi Province
Off the beaten track, this adventure in the Guangxi Province will be the most memorable experience of your family's travels in China.
China is more than the Great Wall and it's record-breaking 13,170 miles. The country is more than imperial palaces where emperors ruled for centuries. And it's certainly more than the endless sea of skyscrapers that now fill its horizon. To find the soul of China, you need to venture of the beaten track, and to do that, you may need a little help.
WildChina was founded by Yunnan native and Harvard MBA, Mei Zhang. Since its founding in 2000, the company and its guides have helped thousands of intrepid travelers, including many families, discover the hard-to-reach corners of this vast country. A few years ago, my family and our friends, who were living in Shanghai at the time, set out to explore the Guangxi Province in southern China with help from WildChina. Between us, we had four boys, ranging from age 5 to 8. We all decided that we wanted an unsanitized, authentic experience. We called it, "going deep."
We were able to work closely with our tour provider to create an itinerary that was truly tailored to our family's interests. Our ideal trip may not be the same as yours, but I want to inspire you to think differently about family travel.
We began our journey in Guilin along the Li River. The city has long attracted poets and artists because of it's dramatic karst scenery. Karst is a special kind of landscape formed by the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone and dolomite. It's characterized by sharply sloped mountains and underground drainage systems with sinkholes and caves. With our guide, Mo, we visited Reed Flute Caves. It wasn't the most natural caving experience that my family has ever had, but it was uniquely Chinese. Colorful lights illuminated the stalagmites and stalactites as well as a large reflecting pool, giving it a Disney-like quality. At one point, there was even a bubble machine! Women sat in cave rooms with enormous tortoises, who were said to be more than 1000 years old. For a few dollars, you could buy a lucky charm blessed by an old turtle. Of course, we were highly suspect. And a little worried by the lack of authenticity at our first stop.
After an overnight stay in Guilin, we boarded a bus and headed to the Longsheng Rice Terraces and a small village called Ping'an. Mo warned us that we'd be hiking from the lower village uphill for about a half mile to Li'an Lodge. Being on a two-week trip to China, we had two large suitcases, each weighing 60 pounds, plus several carry-on bags. No worries, Mo said. Sherpas would be meeting us. What he didn't tell us? The sherpas were women much older than me with superhuman strength! At first, we were reluctant to burden them with our heavy bags, but then we realized that they wouldn't get paid if they didn't carry. We quickly distributed all our bags, forming a fairly impressive caravan. The women hoisted the suitcases on top of baskets and then onto their backs and quickly passed us on the steep hill. I've never seen anything like it! To this day, the kids and I still talk about those women.
Given our remote location and the fact that anything that came up to this lodge had to come up that steep hill, I wasn't sure what to expect at the top. To our utter delight, Li'an Lodge is one of the most unique and beautifully-appointed places that we've ever stayed. Each room was based on a theme, like music or calligraphy, and displayed art pieces and handicrafts to reflect that motif. And the view! For the first time, we got a bird's eye view of the curvature of the terraced rice fields below. It was mesmerizing; even the boys were in awe.
On this day, Mo would lead us on a hike through the terraced rice paddies from Ping'an to Tiantou. When we first booked with WildChina, the hike was listed as five miles. After it was booked, it became seven miles. But according to Mo, it was actually ten miles long and took us nearly seven hours to complete. It was most difficult for my 5-year old son. With his short legs, he had to work twice as hard. On many of the uphill sections, I carried him. But when it was flat, he did a good job of keeping up with the older boys. And his sense of accomplishment at the end of the hike - well, that was priceless!
Despite the drizzly and overcast day, the scenery was breathtaking. It was hard to believe that human hands had carved out each and every terrace. It really felt like we had stepped back in time, where people were living and working just as their ancestors had done thousands of years earlier.
On our hike, we were accompanied by a group of Yao women. The Yao are one of 56 recognized minority groups in China. Specifically, these women were Hong (red) Yao who always wear bright pink or red clothing. They were very proud of their beautifully embroidered frocks and their long hair. When the women cut their hair, they save it. They demonstrated how they then reattach it to form strands several feet long.
These Yao women lived in the village of Tiantou. Their homes were wood structures built on stilts that clung to the side of the mountain. Even though they had electricity, the Yao didn't use it during the day because of the expense. Hence, the homes were dark and damp inside.
One of the women invited us into her home to meet her children, who clearly hadn't encountered many Westerns, let alone Western children. Our host insisted on preparing tea for us over an open fire. It was no ordinary tea; it was a mixture of tea, crispy rice, and sautéed peanuts. It was actually quite good! We shared the tea huddled around the roaring fire. In return, we gave the children the only thing that we had in our bags - Oreos. I think that we got the better end of the deal.
Our visit to the ancient town of Fuli was specially arranged at our request. We wanted our kids to have the opportunity to interact with children of the same age, so we visited an elementary school. Despite having no heat and only the bare essentials, the children here were happy and friendly. They smiled easily and enjoyed making the "peace" sign for photos. We brought scarves made my son's second grade classmates for the second graders here, along with a photo of those American children who made the gifts. We wished that we would have had enough for everyone, but our luggage was filled to capacity. We also passed our reed flutes purchased at Reed Flute Cave to the kindergarteners. And we gave supplies to the school: paper, colored pencils, paints, markers, and play dough, all purchased in Guilin. The administrators were so appreciative that they gave us bowls of oranges. Upon our return home, we shared the photos of those children in their new red and yellow scarves with the children back in Oregon.
It was time for recess. We sat with the children in a circle for a game of duck-duck-goose and ring-around-the-rosy. Then came my favorite moment of the entire journey - an impromptu game of tag between my youngest son and the boys of Fuli. He didn't speak Mandarin; they didn't speak English. It didn't matter. Fun is universal. The expression on my son's face was one of true joy. The day proved to be the highlight of our two weeks in China.
In the town of Yangshuo, our guide arranged a bike ride through the picturesque countryside. The older boys rode their own bikes; the younger boys were paired with the dads on tandems. I'll admit, while biking is common in China, I was a bit unnerved as we pedaled through downtown Yangshuo, trying to avoid being hit by passing cars, motorcycles, and other bikes. My heart! But the ride soon turned onto a dusty country road that paralleled the Li River, and serenity took over.
After about an hour, we hopped off our bikes and carefully jumped onto bamboo rafts. The rafts were just large enough for pairs of us to sit in wooden chairs with an oarsman in the back. Down the river we went, floating between rounded mountain peaks. Our adventure was coming to a close.
One of the advantages of being guided by a local on a private tour is that you eat at some truly unique places. No hotel restaurant dinners for us. Again, it was an example of "going deep." We had one such meal in Guilin. It was a traditional restaurant with round tables and a spinning tray in the middle to facilitate sharing. The meal was a very good, and we ate heartily. As we walked into the establishment, we'd noticed a kind of sidewalk zoo outside. We stopped briefly to look at the animals in the various cages and even took a photo with the kids. On our way out of the restaurant after we'd eaten, it hit us. A cook was walking from the "zoo" into the restaurant with a bag containing not one, but several squirming animals. Ah, dinner.
KidTripster Tip: Even if you're not normally a vegetarian, going vegetarian while traveling in China isn't a bad idea!
The beauty of a private tour is the operator, in this case WildChina, makes all the arrangements, including guides, transportation, lodging, meals, and attractions. For a five-day tour similar to this one, you can expect to pay about $1,800/person with a discount for kids. WildChina also offers three-day excursions.
Editor Shellie Bailey-Shah travels with her husband and two sons. After her trip to China, she's never been able to look at a petting zoo in quite the same way.

I know how easy it is to scoff at new year's resolutions. I don't personally like to use the word 'resolutions.' It just sounds like a word that is going to be hard to achieve. Let's go with goals. Goals is a great word and it makes for a better hashtag anyway.
Before we hit the reset button on January 1st, I like to look back at some of the goals I outlined exactly one year ago. Here's what I listed:
- Be more grateful.
- Learn a new language.
- Read two new books per month.
- Create a stricter plan for student debt.
- Master a gymnastics tumbling pass.
- Learn an instrument.
- Volunteer more.
- Try a new fitness class.
- Learn knitting.
- Experience more live performances.
- Take a trip.
- Write more.
- Eat cleaner.
- Make more time for people I love.
How I did: There are a couple goals on this list that I feel I genuinely accomplished. I did begin to learn a new language (French! via UW Madison Continuing Studies), I took a trip (to D.C. with my little brother), I learned how to knit (thanks to this amazing place in Verona called the Sow's Ear), I created a much stricter plan for student debt (I'm on track to have them paid off this spring!), I tried a couple of new fitness classes and I do feel I practiced having more gratitude this year. There are goals here that I did just 'ok' at, which include: reading two books per month (I probably came close to this but not certain), writing more, experiencing live performances, gymnastics and making more time for people I love. And I outright failed at learning a new instrument, eating cleaner and volunteering more.
Looking back at your goals is so important. Even if you feel you miserably failed, force yourself to stare at your list. I made a note on my iPhone with all 14 of these goals listed and I would take a look at it about once a month. Sometimes even that quick little peek at my list would motivate me to research some French classes or find my next good read. Other times, I'd read through my goals and conclude something like: "Learning how to play piano is just not in the cards…right now."
It's fun to make lists like this. And it's important to take actionable steps to achieve these goals but I also think it's important not to beat yourself up if you miss a few of them or fail at most of them. It's all about progress!
So, in the spirit of progress, here's my new and improved 'goals list' for 2019.
- Bring student debt to…zero! The goal on my 2018 list that I am most proud of is the work I did on my student debt. Now, it's time to say 'good riddance' once and for all!
- Hand-make at least 3 gifts for people next year. Whether it's embracing my new-found knitting skillzzz or following through with a cool Pinterest project, I'd like to focus more on making things for people. (Taking suggestions in the comments.)
- Read 2 new books per month. My first carry-over from 2018. (Carry-overs are totally acceptable!) This year, I'm going to write down the books I read so I can track them 🙂 I am also taking book suggestions below.
- Get decent at cross-country skiing. I attended the American Birkebeiner last February and I was so inspired, I found myself dropping $500 for ski gear recently – despite the fact I've only gone once. So here's to hoping I can find some great lessons and hit the trails!
- Take at least one more French class…and string together a sentence! I loved UW's continuing studies program and found the course to be affordable. I learned the basics only but I'm eager to actually speak a little French here and there.
- Write more. Another carryover from last year. Writing is so important to me and yet, I don't prioritize it like I should.
- Cook more. Anyone who knows me well may be in a state of shock at this point but yes, I do intend to cook a bit more in 2019 and have already lined up a few recipes. (Again…suggestions? Be easy on me.)
- Explore 2 new places. Ah, how I love to dream about the places I would like to explore! This goal should be a 'gimme.' (Hey, every list is entitled to at least one gimme.)
- Get started on something I've been putting off. I have some undercover career-ish 'to dos' that I've wanted to get started on. 2019 will be my year!
- Eat cleaner! Ok, my last carryover. I'm hoping goal #7 will help me better accomplish goal #9. But lord knows I'll need all the help I can get when it comes to curbing my incessant cravings for anything with too much sugar.
Alright, there's my list! What are you looking forward to achieving in 2019?! I'm dying to know! Comment below 🙂

Stephen Garcia '77
Date of birth: February 9, 1955
Date of death: August 8, 1989
Age: 34
Lucky Bag
From the 1977 Lucky Bag:
From the Associated Press on August 9, 1989 via Aviation Safety Network:
The two crewmen aboard a Navy A-6 Intruder aircraft were killed Tuesday when the attack jet crashed while practicing for an air show here. The pilot was identified Tuesday night as Lt. Cmdr. Stephen A. Garcia, 34, of Los Cruces, N.M., and the bombardier-navigator was Marine Capt. Richard H. Andrews, 31, of Fayetteville, N.C., said base spokeswoman Mariana Graham.
Both officers were assigned to Attack Squadron 128, known as the Golden Intruders. The squadron is based at Whidbey Island. The cause of the crash is under investigation, Ms. Graham said.
Since 1980, 12 of the Whidbey-based A-6s have crashed, resulting in 14 fatalities, she said. The aircraft was completing a turn over the field Tuesday when it lost altitude and hit the ground, Ms. Graham said. The airfield, about 45 miles northwest of Seattle, was closed for approximately two hours after the accident.
From the October 1989 issue of Shipmate:
LCdr. Stephen A . Garcia USN, died on 8 August 1989 at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, Oak Harbor, Washington, when the A-6E Intruder aircraft he was piloting crashed during a practice air show. A memorial service was held on 11 August at the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station Chapel, followed by the customary "Missing Man Formation" fly-byof A-6E aircraft. Funeral services were held in Las Graces, New Mexico, with interment at Fort Bhss National Cemetery, Fort Bliss, Texas, on 16 August.
Steve was born and raised in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and attended Las Graces High School. He was appointed to the Naval Academy from the State of New Mexico and graduated with the Class of 1977 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science. Upon graduation, he spent six months at NRD Albuquerque, New Mexico, on recruiting duty before commencing flight training at Whiting Field in Milton, Florida. On 19 October 1979 he was designated a Naval Aviator and was sent to North Island Naval Air Station, San Diego, California for type training in the H-3.
From May 1980 to October 1982, he served with HC-1 Det 2 on board MIDWAY (CV-41) in Atsugi, Japan as NatOps officer. Safety officer, and Quality Assurance officer. While attached to HC-1 he made three Indian Ocean deployments and his squadron was credited with rescuing 19 people from being lost at sea. Of those at-sea rescues, he was pilot-in-command for two of them, one of which involved rescuing an A-7E pilot who ejected from his aircraft during night carrier operations. In October 1982 he reported to VT-23 in Kingsville, Texas, for jet pilot training, and on 18 October 1983 he earned his jet wings after completing advanced training at VT-22.
In January 1984 he began type training in the A-6E Intruder with the "Golden Intruders" of Attack Squadron 128 at Whidbey Island, Washington. From September 1984 to November 1987 he served with the "Milestones" of Attack Squadron 196 on board CONSTELLATION (CV-64) as Tactics officer. Line Division officer, and Aircraft Division officer. While attached to VA-196 he made a "Pineapple" cruise, two WestPac Indian Ocean cruises, and a NorPac cruise, accumulating over 350 arrested landings. In December 1987, he returned to VA-128 for a tour as an instructor pilot in the A-6E and also served as Personnel officer. Plans and Programs officer, and Crew Training officer.
Since childhood Steve had been an avid outdoorsman and was known to take leave to coincide with hunting season and take every opportunity he could to spend a few hours at the local fishing hole with family and friends. He excelled in sports, earning All-District Honorable Mention at quarterback during his senior year at Las Cruces High School.
He often referred to himself as a "scholastic slave" during his four years at Annapolis. His Classmates, especially those from the 16th company, will remember him as "Perdo" or "Hose," a Classmate and friend that always managed to find the bright and humorous side of almost any situation, and the one whose "care-packages" included joke books as well as cookies to satisfy his appetite for humor. Steve was a model husband, father and officer and will be missed by those who knew him, while at the same time happy to have had the opportimity to have known him.
LCdr. Garcia's awards include the Navy Achievement Medal, Navy Unit Commendation (one star), Meritorious Unit Commendation (one star). Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, National Defense Ribbon, and Sea Service Deployment Ribbon (four stars). He is survived by his wife Bonita Christine Brown "Bonnie" Garcia, his daughter Jami Marie, and his son, Stephen Kelly, all of Oak Harbor, Washington; his parents Mr. and Mrs. Ben M. Garcia of Las Cruces, New Mexico; his brothers Arthur Benjamin Garcia of Santa Fe, New Mexico and Fredrick Ronald Garcia of Las Cruces, New Mexico; and his sister Joanne Garcia Skillman of Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Class of 1977
Stephen is one of 16 members of the Class of 1977 on Virtual Memorial Hall.

CANTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. - The driver behind the wheel in the fatal wrong-way crash on I-275 in Canton Township was sentenced Thursday after pleading no contest to charges in connection with the deaths of an engaged couple.
Michael Gerard Stack, 59, of Wolverine Lake, was charged with two counts of reckless driving causing death and one count of open intoxicant in a vehicle in connection to a deadly crash Dec. 12, 2017 on I-275 in Canton Township. He was bound over to stand trial on the charges earlier this year but later pleaded no contest.
On Thursday he was sentenced to 15 years in prison. He showed remorse during the hearing.
According to authorities, the investigation revealed the driver of a pickup truck was initially traveling southbound on I-275 when he drove across the center median and re-entered the roadway driving against northbound traffic, before striking a northbound vehicle.
ORIGINAL REPORT: Northbound I-275 reopens at Michigan Avenue following deadly wrong-way driver crash
READ: Engaged couple from Wayne identified as victims in fatal crash on I-275 with wrong-way driver
Engaged couple Nicholas Pare and Shannon McIntyre were inside the vehicle that was struck in the northbound lanes of I-275 near Palmer Road, according to the Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office.
Blood results revealed that in addition to having no alcohol in his system, Stack's test results also came back negative for other drugs, Michigan State Police said. He was tested after an open container of alcohol was found in the vehicle after the fatal collision, authorities said.
Stack resigned Jan. 4 from the Wolverine Lake Village Council.
The northbound lanes of I-275 were shut down at Michigan Avenue for several hours.

Free HUNT Alabama tag sign-up!
Good news! We can now pay your $50 to sign up for...
Show Your Pride as an Alabama Hunter With New License Plate
New HUNT Alabama Tag
Your vehicle tag says everything about who you are. With the variety of distinctive personalized license plates available today, what's on the back (and front) of your vehicle identifies you to everyone else in an actions-speak-louder-than-words way.
With the new HUNT Alabama plate, let there be no mistake about it: you are a hunter.
Why is this important?
When you consider that seven percent of Alabamians hunt and 93 percent do not, it's good for those of us who hunt to be visible. While the vast majority of Alabamians, 86 percent at last count, approve of lawful, ethical hunting, the anti-hunters try very hard to marginalize those of us who choose to hunt.
Never mind the fact that some 535,000 of us participate in hunting every year, engaging in over 10 million days of healthy outdoor recreation. And never mind that we crank over $1.8 billion into the Alabama economy annually, generating over $104 million in state and local taxes. Never mind that hunters pay for management and protection of wildlife resources, benefitting all of society.
Proceeds Preserve Hunting Heritage
The Hunting Heritage Foundation, an Alabama-based non-profit organization, is dedicated to preserving our way of life as hunters, and the money from your tag can only be spent for this purpose. Our hunting heritage is something which we are justifiably proud of and must work to preserve.
This is why the Hunting Heritage Foundation is standing up for hunting. The Foundation is a positive voice for hunting, helping people in general to realize the profound values of hunting to society as a whole.
The Community of Hunters
There is a place for all of us as hunters—whether wealthy or not, experienced or beginner, small-game hunters, deer and turkey hunters alike. The more unified we are, the better off we are as a community of hunters. This requires that we be respectful of one another as well as tolerant of others, within the bounds of what is legal and ethical. The old saying, "United we stand; divided we fall" has never been more true. Factions within the community of hunters work counter to our collective best interests. With the great abundance we enjoy today, there is room for us all.
Despite hunting's benefits to society, the economy, and natural resources, each of us as a hunter knows the primary benefit at a personal level. It's the satisfaction of matching wits with a wily turkey gobbler or old buck. It's the self-sufficiency we feel when our family or friends dine on delicious wild game we put on the table. It's the strong, life-long bond we forge with a younger person we introduce to hunting through squirrel hunting or bird hunting.
These are the things our hunting heritage is made of. And the Hunting Heritage Foundation is working to preserve this way of life for each of us and our children and grandchildren.
H.U.N.T. is an acronym for Hunters. United. Now. Tomorrow. Your distinctive license plate helps to present a unified, visible presence for hunters. To sign up for a plate, go to
You will also receive free of charge a coordinated H.U.N.T. Alabama plate for the front of your vehicle.

{Yesterday was one of those rare days in El Paso where the temperature wasn't expected to climb above the low 90s and it was overcast for most of the morning--basically, it was downright pleasant outside, which is unusual for the end of July around these parts. We had nothing planned for the day so I suggested that we head to the zoo and take in the sights while taking advantage of the break in the weather.}
{This parrot spent the better part of the morning perched like this and squawking loudly at anyone and anything that walked by; it was almost like he was saying, "HEY YOU! CHECK OUT WHAT I CAN DO! I BET YOU CAN'T DO PULL-UPS WITH YOUR TOES."}
{Sammy's favorite exhibit at the zoo is the sand cat display--he loves going up to the glass and talking to the "kitties." I thought it was kind of funny to see the cardboard boxes and paper bags scattered amongst the more natural aspects of their enclosure; I guess all cats love curling up inside of boxes.}
{We then made our way over to the sea lion display so that we could all sit and relax for a bit (and enjoy a snack or two). I could have sat and watched the sea lion's underwater ballet for hours; it was just so mesmerizing and hypnotic the way he moved through the water.}

Utah: Record Catch-and-Release Splake Caught at Joes Valley Reservoir
Orangeville -- When Buckley Jolley felt a heavy pull on his fishing rod, he knew he was close to seeing something extraordinary. It was a weighty realization, knowing a possible once-in-a-lifetime fish was dangling on the end of a 7-pound fly line and fighting to get away.
He felt heavy, Jolley says. I had to play the fish just right and let him run if he needed to run.
From the shore, Jolley began to see broad flashes of color through the turquoise water at Joes Valley Reservoir in central Utah. Jolleys line held, and with some patience and finesse, he landed the fish in about 15 minutes, which felt more like 30 minutes, he says.
When I pulled him out, he says, I was just amazed at how big he was. It was pretty epic.
That fish, a 30.5-inch splake, is Utahs new catch-and-release record for the species. The Division of Wildlife Resources made the new record official on Jan. 24. It supersedes the previous catch-and-release record for splake, a 29-inch fish that was also caught and released at Joes Valley Reservoir in 2015.
Splake are a hybrid cross between lake trout and brook trout, and they carry desirable traits from both parent species. Splake provide memorable opportunities for anglers while serving as a component of healthy fisheries in lakes and reservoirs.
Joes Valley is home to other species, including tiger muskie and cutthroat, rainbow, brook and tiger trout. Remarkable as a 30.5-inch splake is, the reservoir is no stranger to big fish.
Thats the great thing about Joes Valley, says Calvin Black, the DWRs assistant aquatics program manager in southeastern Utah. You always have a chance at a fish like that.
In fact, biologists predict the reservoir will produce an especially high number of trophy-caliber splake in the next couple of years. Data trends from annual fall gill net surveys show the portion of splake between 20 and 24 inches long has increased from 4 percent in 2013 to 34 percent in 2017.
A percentage of those fish are going to bump up into the 24-inch-plus trophy range, says Daniel Keller, the DWRs native aquatics biologist in southeastern Utah. Were predicting really good years in 2018 and 2019.
Biologists attribute the consistent growth to several factors. One is a decrease in Utah chub, a prolific fish species that competes with trout for food and space. Tiger muskies, a top-level predator, have helped curb chub populations in Joes Valley, allowing trout to survive longer and grow faster, Keller says.
Higher water levels from snow runoff in recent years have also played a part in boosting productivity in Joes Valley.
Were right at that nice level where the trout are doing exceptional. Our average splake there is 18 inches, Black says. It seems to be a good balance right now.
Tips for fishing at Joes Valley
Jolley caught his record splake in mid-November in 15-20 feet of water using a white streamer fly. Similarly, other anglers do well during the fall and spring months, when the trout are feeding in shallow areas (25 feet of water or less). Tiger muskie fishing picks up during the summer. Most of the best fishing happens before noon or at dusk.
Large trout and tiger muskies prey on chub, shiner and crayfish, so lures that imitate those are especially effective. When ice fishing, try using brown, green or white tube jigs or spoons tipped with chub meat. Ice fishing is often best near points of terrain that slope down into the water, where theres plenty of structured habitat. When fishing from open water, spoons, rapalas and streamers work well for trout and tiger muskies.

Neck Pain
Neck pain is very common and can be the result of several different things in addition can be the cause of other aches/pains one experience in their back and shoulders. Considering that the human head weighs approximately 12 pounds, this can place a lot of strain on the neck. Then if we have a forward head or slouched posture this magnifies the amount of stress at the neck, back and shoulders.
Click on the following titles for in-depth information:
There are 3 primary sections of the back which contain 24 total vertebrae; there are 7 cervical vertebrae in the neck. The top two vertebrae are called the "atlas" and the "axis"; it is here that head rotation occurs. When all of the vertebrae are positioned correctly, there should be a slight curve in the neck which helps distribute stress. In cases where a person slouched or has forward head posture, the amount of strain at the neck increases significantly in addition nerves or blood vessels can become compressed creating painful symptoms.
Forward head or slouching posture: This can result in neck, back and/or shoulder pain.
The "Brachial Plexus" is a major branch of nerves that exits the neck and travels down the shoulder and arm to the hand. These nerves can become irritated at any level causing pain/numbness/tingling, etc. Even though these originate at the neck, symptoms can sometimes appear in the arm and hand. The nerves of the brachial plexus can become compressed by slouching and forward head postures.
