There is something disturbingly wrong with Ghana's biggest opposition party the New Patriotic Party (NPP). Since they returned from Tamale where they elected their new National Executives it has being one 'wahala' after the other. One thing however is very clear; the fire is all coming from only one direction; that is those who clearly back a certain candidate and want an early congress.
It is these people who are all over the social media, holding press conferences, posting press releases and actually going on radio stations not only to canvass support for an early congress but also to insult those they suspect are delaying the process.
Of course we cannot forget the pending court case challenging the 'National Council' that opened nominations for the flagbearship contest in the party. The litigant, a former constituency chairman of the NPP is arguing that the National Council is not properly constituted. Indeed the NPP's constitution provides that fifty (50) per cent of the regional representatives to the National Council be elected through Regional Delegates Conferences.
Even though the National Executives requested Regional Chairmen of the party to comply with the constitution, the Chairmen blatantly refused and hand picked they own people. It was not until the court case popped up that these Regional Chairmen started talking about 'Emergency Regional Conferences' to 'elect' their representatives to the National Council. Even then in less than a week they gathered some constituency executives and got them to acclaim the same names the Regional Chairmen had earlier hand picked.
The highest decision making body of the NPP after the National Delegates Conference is the National Council. Since National Delegates Conferences are rarely held (once every four years) it means that the National Council is actually the ruling body of the NPP. The framers of the NPP constitution must have realized that it will be an anomaly for an UNELECTED BODY to instruct the ELECTED NATIONAL EXECUTIVES on the operations of the Party and that is why they insisted that majority of the members the National Council be people who are elected or where once elected into positions of the party.
If some members of the party are hand picked to constitute the National Council and to give direction to the elected National Executives of party then that means that the power of the party's delegates and the National Delegates Conference would have been negated. It means party executives can elect their preferred national executives but some body will choose his National Council to run the party. An elected group that takes instructions from an unelected group; That cannot be democracy. That is akin to a coup d'état. Remember that these hand picked members of the council did not campaign among the executives and really are not answerable to them.
That is the current situation of the NPP from what we have gathered and we wonder why a group of people will go all these lengths and scheme so hard to impose an irregularity on their own party not minding whose horse is gorged. It comes down to two things; WHO CONTROLS THE PARTY AND THE UPCOMING 2016 CAMPAIGN. If things remain the way they are now then the Party will once again be out of the campaign. Sorry folks you will not be part of the gravy train.

On. I meant on. Editing now. So we can see who can see through our disguises.
All righty: I have something special for a contract in Sapienza and considering the restrictions, it doesn't matters if you have the NPC icons on. . Sorry but gotta make this bearly challenging at least.
I look forward to it. I know I'm going to do beary bad anyway though Sounds like a Suit Only contract to me.
All righty: given that my DVR isn't loading the pics because apparently Xbox Live is kinda "down" for me, here are both the title and the ID for the ET style contract:TITLE: Pocket Solutions.ID: 3-03-8386731-96Good luck @Euler13, @Ed_ll3, @Silverballer and anyone who is sober enough after New Year's party to give this one a shot.
Thanks @scm97tl. This contract ends at 6 P.M. GMT on 3rd January. Hopefully 47 hasn't been drinking too much.
I'm glad this thread is here. You help me keep track of dates and deadlines for the PS4 thread. lol
I'd suggest writing "Announcment" or "Attention, please!" or something similar at the top of your post in bold letters to catch people's eye, scm97tl.
Just because you haven't got pictures and you want people to know that your post is important.
P.S. If Silverballer approves, of course.
All righty, Done, @David47.
Pics if you need @scm97tl:
Maybe it's my addled brain, but this looks tough.
Been playing @Silverballer's series today, so will probably keep this for tomorrow and have a think about how to approach it. Are they mostly the balcony dudes, or are we not allowed to ask? :shifty:
I like the references to Torvik. Very clever. Also, I am going to have to look up where I can find a folding knife lol
This is where the "target information" feature really comes in handy, so you can check you're using the right weapon on a target just before you murder him. lol
Looking forward to the videos
Been playing them on-and-off throughout the day and really enjoyed it. Think the first one is already up, and the rest are on the way. I'll post them all in the series thread when they're done.
I wanted to add a minor advice for the poison kill in case no one figures it out: in the same way the church calls to praying hour, the right side is close to be buried under the dirt in a white and red-adorned corner in front of the drunk assassin.It's in a puzzle way because I think it's cool .@Silverballer, @Ed_ll3, @Euler13 and everybody else.
Ooooh a puzzle. Beary nice. I can't waitTo play this one tomorrow or on Tuesday.
A mysterious puzzle! Forget 47. This is a job for Indiana Jones.
Special conditions: Hat only. With the machete.
Seriously though, I think giving a hint that way is a cool idea.
P.S. Judging by that picture, I don't think Indy's getting the SA bonus this time.
Okay, I am about to play. Wish me luck.
Beary good luck, @Silverballer!
I got the amazing score of... 21,139. I couldn't figure out the poison kill so I just shot him twice. Messiest run of all time lol I got into combat at one point. Loved the first four targets, not so much of a fan of the last one lol. Great contract @scm97tl really enjoyed it. Can you PM me the poison kill? The suspense is killng me lol
Good effort @Silverballer.
Was messing around on contracts this morning and saw who the poison kill is on; got a few ideas as to what might be needed, but still not exactly sure even with the clue. Disclosing that may have already disqualified me I guess ; will try it out tomorrow before the deadline regardless.

How did you spend your time as a teen?
I am curious about everyone's interests and conditions while they were growing up.
What were your hobbies and how far did you progress with them?
How was your school life?
What did your peers/teachers think of you in school?
How comfortable was your home life and how did it affect you overall?
Go into as much detail as you feel comfortable with.

Re: How did you spend your time as a teen?
Conditions: Hostile
Interests: Survival
Hobbies: Reading, drawing, getting physical, fucking with people.
Progress: I still read a lot. I don't draw so much. I try not to fuck with people, I enjoy rolling up my sleeves and building my environment.
School was good fun. I had a brilliant circle of friends, we were delinquent and rebellious. We played by nobody else's rules but our own. Full of adventure and mellow-dramatica.
My peers thought me a black sheep, and my teachers a dark horse. I was never far from trouble, but persistently and consistently earned my position in top class.
I annoyed others by being bound by no stereotypes , and constantly being granted the opportunity to play by alternative rules.
My parents were largely absent and inadequate. I was left free reign to shape my self.
It was touch and go for a few years, but at last I think I've managed to create at least a half functional, half adult, with half a brain to boot.

Re: How did you spend your time as a teen?
Hobbies? Music and computer stuff mostly. I ended up knowing probably 80% of the computer stuff I ended up going to college for before I even got there (got to get that degree).
School Life? Bored with the topics, pace, rote memorization, and non-thinking aspects of classes. I was a weirdo that didn't fit into any of the social "cliques" but interacted mostly with the druggies/musicians and computer nerds (probably the only person who had that overlap ). Most people would spend lunch time um...eating lunch and socializing. I would draw, think about music harmonies/modes, or come up with ideas for computer programs/games that I mostly didn't finish.
Math/computer/science teachers probably thought I was smart. All other teachers probably thought I was "difficult" because memorizing random facts was pointless to me. I even got suspended a couple of times for basically "rebelling" ie asking why we are doing something a certain way, saying that doesn't make logical sense, etc. Being suspended was great though, lots of free time and could breeze through the mind numbing busy work in an hour as opposed to the 7-8 hour school day.
Parents were pretty forgiving/understanding. My mom (ESFP) and I never truly "got" each other but she was willing to let me do things in my own weird way. My dad (INTJ) was always pretty easy going also. Above all I think they just wanted me to do whatever would make me happiest and glad I had clear interests (music and computers). About the best parents I could have had I think. My brother and I were never very close but I love him. There is an age gap and we have different interests but our personalities are actually pretty similar. We are just both introverts who avoid starting conversations and think feelings shouldn't be put on display so..
I have heard about a lot of INTPs struggling with their families and clashing personalities/values but luckily mine was pretty great. It was just the rest of the world that I don't think I will ever fit in with, which I of course don't particularly want to fit in with anyway.

Re: How did you spend your time as a teen?
In a word: boredom. I never felt accountability, which I believe is mainly because I didn't feel respected or valued as a person.
No real hobbies at all. People have to value and understand you to some extent for those to happen, amirite? Consequently, no friends either, not that I minded though. Lots of time wasted on video games/television (stand-in for babysitter/parent). We didn't have internet at home until 2005 I believe, which was junior year. Also when I got my first 2 CDs & portable CD player (Korn's Best Of and Audioslave's self-titled). Don't think I read a single book in high school, tbh. Maybe about half of The Scarlet Letter.
School... a <2.0 high school GPA, and I got expelled twice when my boredom became destructive and resulted in threats, intentionally fucking with people, theft, and sabotage. I also dealt with the suicidal realm.
Generally speaking, my parents were pretty much absent and offered unpredictable and inconsistent punishment/reward.
And then I went to college and discovered science, an interest that existed pretty much entirely because my grandparents took me fishing as a kid and I enjoyed camping trips.

Re: How did you spend your time as a teen?
In my teens, there were so many external circumstances changing that I can't answer all your questions. I will, however, try my best.
My home life was always chaotic. It affected me to the point that I had a mental breakdown. I fell into a majorly depressive mood. I was diagnosed with acute agoraphobia.
My school life is probably most unlike any other. I went from public school to home schooling without much social experience from public school.
I know that I had friends who appreciated my presence but I was only in their life out of circumstance. After I left public school, they didn't stick around. My teachers thought I was soft-hearted, but they also thought I was lazy because I never did my homework. But what they didn't understand was that because of my depressive mood, I couldn't function the way everyone else could.
My hobbies didn't include much. I did read. But I eventually found the sway of tv shows. I lost myself in shows like Smallville, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charmed. It was through those shows that I taught myself how to make fan art with photoshop. That's how I discovered my goal to have a career in photography and digital art.
I'd say that I have progressed in terms of being self-motivated and more appreciative of life in general.

It is only later in life that I have realized most people don't like to be fucked with, which I sort of understand, but what's the fun in that?

Re: How did you spend your time as a teen?
There's also a trade-off that comes into play. Stop fucking with people and you lose some fun, but help them instead and you gain their loyalty and service. And of course, if they outright reject your efforts to help them, you can still always fuck with them.

Re: How did you spend your time as a teen?
Hobbies: videyagame, drawing, reading, chatting, foruming. I think that's all I did. Never got really good at anything or anything.
School life: I was very emo back then, miserable. Constantly stressed and skipped school frequently. Other students and teachers didn't particularly like me. Except one lady where I remember being surprised when she was nice to me. Had one friend, but spent almost all my time at home playing videogames or sitting at the pc.
Home life: I left them alone, they mostly lefted me alone, I think. They were frustrated I was being difficult. I think it contributed to the general feeling of being misunderstood and isolated.
Things did improve when I started college when I was 17. Some people adopted me into their small friend group and I had more of a social life. Still played a lot of videogames, but I did visit friends more. Talked, played card games. The relationship with my mother improved after I moved out.

Re: How did you spend your time as a teen?
Instant coffee and 5+ pieces of toast or a big bowl of cereal before 20 minute walk to get the train to school. Best part of the morning since I would leave the house about 8am and then had 45 minutes of music on my mp3 player until I met up with friends before school started.
Smartphones weren't a thing really yet so we actually interacted. Usually played sport or just talked about stuff we were going to do on the weekend. Basically alternated between sleeping through classes or being really engaged. Favourite class was by far Physical Education. I picked as many sport subjects as possible.
Got into fights after school and on the weekends. Just seemed to be a thing that occurred. Went to some parties, threw up in parks and backyards. Slept in a playground overnight multiple times. Had a few girlfriends, mostly just happened without even paying particular attention. Typical dumb teenage relationships.
Did many things while drunk. Set myself on fire. Set someone else on fire. Spent New Year's Eve on the roof of a flower shop and belting out whatever song came to mind.
Eventually I spent less and less time with friends as groups got more cliquey and I didn't really care to compete. I got along with everyone, didn't really prefer anyone though. Ended up just going out, taking drugs with some new people on a weekly basis. Got bored after 6 months, decided to get a job.
They call me the man who isn't could not try to would it. But I would it.

Re: How did you spend your time as a teen?
My teenage years are not something I look back on favorably. I entered High School at 11 (as is the case here), in reasonably good condition despite some unfortunate childhood trauma which we don't need to detail here. However, due to some earlier childhood events that were (at this point) outside of my control, I quickly became a target for the older students to pick on. Younger ones followed suite and within a couple of weeks I was basically Carrie without the prom night. It became a way for everyone else to fit in - beat up and pick on Rixus. And some of them were pretty creative. I have a few scares from that time and once had some sort of sulphur solution poured over me and had to bin all my clothing because the smell wouldn't wash out. I think that's were I really honed my introverted thinking skills. I realised that as little a reaction as possible seemed to bore them so I learned to hide my emotions and appear a psychopathic level of calm in almost any circumstance.
I also spent most of my breaks hiding in the computer labs and learned some useful skills, including creative writing. My home life was pretty shitty at the time as well. My mother didn't really seem to pay much notice or ever ask what my grades were or anything. My step father pretty much hated my guts and spent considerable effort into informing me I was not special in any way, deserved what was happening in school, that my academic abilities were meaningless, and that I was, in his words, "just an arse."
I even reach one point where I was about ready to give up. But as I finished making the noose, still sobbing for the last time in years, I starting thinking about the statistics of teenage suicide. And decided that I didn't want to be a statistic. I promised myself then that I'd see this life thing through to the end, whatever happened.
Star Trek and Buffy mostly offered me an escape and I learned to write by first attempting fan fiction although the results were pretty pour. I also spent an inordinate amount of time playing computer games. I learned throughout this time that I could coast my way through school and still achieve pretty good grades and since no one cared I didn't bother really putting in much effort. Occasionally, a teacher would show some interest so I'd actually put a little in an give them a top grade.
I joined the Air Cadets during the last year or two. And although they tried, and I had some very good times there, I was pretty solitary and had no idea how to interact with humans.
I left school as soon as possible and oddly my step father left at the same time. I spent the next few years attempting to find myself and in process smoked enough weed to fill the a large plantation, became proficient at martial arts (I even have a national gold medal) coasted through college and university while still passing everything, made a couple of lifelong friends and spent that last couple of years working in a night club where I (unsuccessfully) attempted to fit in. By the end of the process, I learned to be reasonable OK with my own existence as anyone I was trying to fit in with didn't fit in with themselves anyway. Plus it's more fun to not conform.
People nowadays are never sure whether I have the skin of a rhino or am some weakling dweeb with no confidence at all. I think both are quite possibly true.

Re: How did you spend your time as a teen?
At home I read a lot of books, did some astronomical observations, played games and wrote stories, novels or designed my own game systems for testing and play. I self-taught myself piano with mixed results and classical archery until I lost or sold off my equipment. I also used to go on long solitary walks to think about 'random' stuff and I sometimes discussed them afterwards with anyone interested.
Socially I had a few friends who shared my fantasy/sci-fi/rpg/anime/philosophy/futurism/martial art interests and we used to skip a lot of lessons to play tabletop rpg's in the library or on park benches.
With the same bunch of nerd friends we created a "Computer Science" club to use it as a pretext to skip lessons to prepare for our competitions. We got our own PC lab and we spent most of that time playing video games or tabletop rpg's. The whole scheme fell apart not long before high school was over and our PE teacher caught us by surprise as he entered our lab and saw us playing. We were denied any future funding and good thing we weren't punished retroactively for all those hours that we skipped. Well it's not like we didn't have good grades, school was too easy and boring for the most part. Very few teachers had anything interesting to say or show.
I wish I had some kind of mentor or role model back then to inspire and motivate me into excellence. I don't regret it, but I know I wasted a lot of my potential back then and I would be in a much better position now if I had taken discipline and consistent work a bit more seriously.
After high school I enrolled on the most prestigious and complex sounding degree I could find which was in addition taught fully in a foreign language, that was actually a compilation of three separate university degrees and this is what screwed me over. There I got to meet more ambitious people who actually planned for their future much before they went to the university. I wasn't taught how to work, how to study and suddenly I had to memorise mathematical theorems, practice for exams, concentrate. It was tough and while I could manage this now, back then I fell into a procrastination-optimism trap and had to cope with depression and had a long setback in my independent life.

Re: How did you spend your time as a teen?
Mostly making art and listening to music....
And i read lots of books. Most of it fiction. I think at some point (around the time I turned 16 I think?) I started reading non fiction too
Used to swim and was part of a synchronised (ice)skating group until school graduation
I generally never had any free time I guess. I was always doing something. I got along with almost everyone but during highschool i frequently ended up involved in dumb relationship drama episodes and many times this estranged me from groups of people I used to be friends with
Have read little and understood less.

Re: How did you spend your time as a teen?
What were your hobbies and how far did you progress with them?
I was part of a scouting group until 16. I quit because things took a turn in a very religous direction and I wasn't particularly fond of endless praying/bible study. I just like hiking. I also had a lot of homework that seemed more important.
How was your school life?
Great up until I started the Norwegian equivalent of high school at 16. I developed intense social anxiety and selective mutism. Had to chug liqour before school on the days I had oral exams or other presentations. Think Raj from tbbt. Nearly died from some physical complications (not from alcohol) and had massive cognitive failure as a result but still managed to pass in every subject. Made the biggest mistake of my life and dropped out after just one year.
What did your peers/teachers think of you in school?
I was somewhat bullied in year 8-10 but I had my group of other people that didn't really fit in and the teachers liked me so I wasn't particularly bothered by it. I know most people thought I was weird and it garnered me the nickname Space, because people joked about me being an alien. Could be worse. I don't actually know what people thought of me the one year I went to school after that as I wasn't able to ever hold a conversation with anyone. I showed up to school and just sat in my chair without getting up or talking to anyone at all until we got to go home for the day. I can imagine they thought I was even weirder than people thought in the years before and one of my teachers thought I was in ''hard drug abuse hell''. I didn't make any friends that year.
How comfortable was your home life and how did it affect you overall?
Things were hard but it could have been worse. It affected me more as a child and my teenagehood was more about learning to deal with the consequencecs and weird behaviours and mannerisms I learned as a result of my home situation when I was younger. I like to think I wasn't very phased by whatever was going down after I turned 15.
I basically just loafed around after I dropped out at 17. Was never able to finish school or get employed and I was having problems in the health department that made having a normal life hard for me. I spent all of my teenage years focusing more on socializing online than in real life. It was great, I miss the good ole days of the internet (but not that old because I myself am not old). And I have certainly had my share of alcohol since age 15.
I tried to keep it short and avoid the most personal shizzle

Re: How did you spend your time as a teen?
My teenage years are a grey blur to me. They weren't particularly traumatic, exciting, or formative just characterless & defined by melancholy, like my environment had me bubbled into a cocoon-state where I was never truly myself. I've always felt this way whenever I've been in my home-town like it's suffocating me and I have to escape.
I had a very day-dreamy, aloof and clumsy personality like I wasn't totally present. I found tasks that involved physical co-ordination or multi-tasking especially hard, like cooking or physical education. I'd not bathe or wash my clothes often as I didn't notice I needed to, and found other's customs difficult to adjust to. As an example, I remember stopping having my hair cut as I found it inconvenient then being shocked two years later when my hair was well past my shoulders.
It was like I was always having to learn things that others found natural and could do effortlessly, which always made communication clumsy and forced. I felt inferior and that I always had to try and catch up to be like other people. One of my teachers in primary school was especially mean and told me I was mentally disabled and that I'd never be able to go to a normal school. My Mother responded by home-schooling me a lot until I caught up, which fuelled an under-dog mentality in me and a resilience to fight especially hard to overcome trying circumstances. I always have got good grades after then and strived to be the top of the class, and think I've become a resilient person.
I never got into trouble, made enemies or got bullied as I was very polite, and good at avoiding attention. I was surrounded by conflict at home, and my response was to become conflict aversive, shell up from people, and null my own emotions as I didn't feel I had justifiable reasons to be sad in contrast to my family who had traumatic backgrounds. My public persona was very fake. I always had friends, but not people who I really connected with or could be open with. Never dated as intimacy frightened me and made me feel anxious.
I spent most of my time in video-game escapism. The few hobbies from then that stay with me now is a love of nature - I used to love taking long solitary hikes through forests and hills where I'd think, imagine I was in different worlds, and write. And music. I still listen to some bands I loved when I was a teen like King Crimson, Kevin Ayers, Mahavishnu Orchestra (and many others I don't anymore :P).
Overall, I try to forget my teen years as there wasn't anything particularly joyful about them. My development was pretty rapid after leaving my home-town when I was 19, and I'm glad my life is a lot more fulfilling now.

Re: How did you spend your time as a teen?
High School= Living Hell
I had a very hard time in high school. I had a very hard time making and keeping friends. I liked being alone with my thoughts and to avoid all the drama/bullshit that came with high school. I never really fit in anywhere. I couldn't stand being around other girls because all they would talk about is boys, other girls, and something going on with their favorite famous people. I couldn't understand it half the time and the other half of the time I was tuned out with my own thoughts. Boys were a different story, Yes I got along with them better but it mostly ended the same with them wanting sex or something else in return. I did however find one guy friend that wasn't like that. I really enjoyed his company through out high school.
I did sports and I was also in the band. I played flute and piccolo. I really enjoyed the music because it relaxed me and the band teacher was a teacher I actually liked to a degree. In the hallways my headphones were my escape from the high school drama and social awkwardness I seemed to have with other people. At lunch time I would find the quietest place in the building. I would have my headphones in and would be reading a book or dong homework from a class.
I did date a little bit in high school. I had one boyfriend I dated my freshman and sophomore year. He made me feel alive and actually got excited to be at school cause I got to see him. He was my everything until he left with no explanation. It was just over like that. After that school became really hard and unbearable. I wanted nothing more but to leave every single day.
High school I do not want to relive. It was literally a living hell for me.

Re: How did you spend your time as a teen?
It was all about music. I wanted to get out of the hell of school and large extended family (actually they're pretty good, but can't help it that every one is a strong Sensor) and so worked on it. Rose to professional level by 18 - loved computers (Commodore 64 was the rage then) but ignored STEM classes. HS went well because I was so accomplished, it gave me status which my Fe craved. Fell in with a group of three other friends who unfortunately were also strong sensors.
The only intuitive in my life are my own family (INFJ wife INTP son), and a INTP friend I've collected. Of course being INTP's he's a shitty socializer, can never get him to plan something in advance or come over to my house.

Re: How did you spend your time as a teen?
School life was fine, I slept a lot in school thanks to the aforementioned game. In elementary school I always had a group of friends around me I would rather not have be there. I reguarally told them to leave me alone, but they would not.
Teachers were rather annoyed with me after the first year. Once I learned I only needed 51% to pass that's all I would aim for. (I could get near perfect on exams without much effort so homework/projects were hardly ever done). A few teachers gave me verbal "quick exams"? To make sure I wasn't cheating or something. They would always be surprised and say something along the lines of , "SO YOU DO GET IT, WHY DONT YOU DO IT AND TRY?."
Peers knew of me, but that was about it. Mostly annoyed at me too though, for sleeping in class but still passing while they got similar marks. Had 2 friends that I'd play chess with almost every day at lunch.
Home life was fine. My dad only cared if I passed, my mom wanted me to get high marks though. She only wanted me to get high marks because she knew I could though, and because her sister always bragged about her kids getting high marks. Only thing I had to watch out for was my parents discovering I was using the dial-up at 3am. Hah

Re: How did you spend your time as a teen?
As a teen I was into Napster... at 56K. I had prolly 1.5 friends at the time and that didn't really bother me much. I did homework at school. I also was into pottery in HS. I also was a wrestler in middle school and HS. I was voted most improved by my peers my junior year for that. To tack on to this, I got the second most take downs and the most escapes my junior year as well. My senior year was not as stellar, but a noteworthy thing to talk about there is that I was certified at I think 115 lbs my senior year. That meant that my body fat was at 7% at 115 lbs. So I had to wrestle at the 119 lb weight class and it was a struggle all year to put on weight so that I actually weighed close to 119 lbs. Most the year I was about 117 lbs. Most people have to do a cut to get down to a proper weight and I had to gain weight. I've never been a big eater. Even now I only weigh about 125-130 lbs at 5'4" and I am on a lot of medication that is suppose to make me gain a lot of weight.
Napster was amazing. I could get all the music I wanted without having to spend a dime. I remember my parents were furious because I happen to have an album from Napster that had a single cus word in the whole album. I think that is when they took napster away from me.
Pottery was something I was always trying to get better at technically. I wanted to be extremely precise in what I made. I always made sure that my walls were thin. For this reason I made more smaller pieces on the wheel.
I mostly wanted to do well in school, but I was not disciplined enough to do homework outside the classroom. This provided an interesting challenge for me in that I had to both pay attention to what was taught in class and do my homework at the same time. I still managed As for the most part with Bs coming occasionally. Senior year I almost failed a class or two though. The big projects that are supposed to take you weeks I always had a big difficulty with. I couldn't both do my regular homework and my class project at the same time AND listen to what was going on in the classroom.
But that's history I guess.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why was the game farm started?
In the 1950's to 1972, Olympic Game Farm (then called Disney's Wild Animal Ranch) was originally designed as a holding facility for the animal actors of Disney Studios. During breaks from filming, the animals were trained, housed, and cared for while waiting for future filming. Disney Studios had asked us to keep the public and cameras out of the Farm. However, in the summer of 1972 after Roy Disney's passing, we allowed people in to see what the Farm was all about. This informal opening was also a test to see if we could achieve our long-term goals in caring for the animals without a steady income from Disney Studios—to see if we could make it on our own. After that summer, we let Disney Studios know how well we did. Disney Studios ultimately held a vote from their Board of Directors and decided it was ok to continue to be open to the public and retain any earnings received. That same year, we officially opened to the public as a private wildlife organization and became incorporated in 1973.
Lloyd and Catherine Beebe (Founders) had spent most of their savings from film making on new pens, fencing, and training fields. The Beebe's felt there was no better place than on the Olympic Peninsula—friendly people and a great climate that was never too hot or too cold. It was always their intent, and continues to be, that the animals keep receiving the attention, respect, and care long after their film work is completed.
Where do the animals come from?
Several of our animals are either rescues; overflow from other licensed animal facilities; or we just received as gifts/donations from licensed or properly authorized individuals.
How do you afford to feed them?
Currently, all proceeds from tourism are put into animal care and feeding. This includes all operating costs (employees, licensing, feed, utilities, repairs, etc.) associated in caring for our animals. In the past, film making and tourism was the mainstay; however, as the years and societal attitudes have evolved the film industry genre, live animal actors are no longer in high demand. We do receive donations from the local dairy farms and equestrians, or from a farm hobbyist. Income made from the summer season carries the Farm through the lean winter months. This presents tough budgeting constraints and is a tremendous struggle each year.
Do you accept random donations?
Yes, the Olympic Game Farm does accept any, reasonable donations. Naturally, the best donation is monetarily but we will consider all other types.
Are you open year round?
Olympic Game Farm is open year round, but will be closed on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day in order to spend time with our families.
What is the difference between a wildlife park and a game farm?
A wildlife park/zoo is usually publicly funded by city, county, and/or state funds or a group of investors. Game farms are usually in connection with commerce, such as breeding, selling, or trading and are privately funded by the owners. Some game farms are associated with "canned" hunting but Olympic Game Farm does not practice this. In our case, "Game Farm" denotes that there are game animals located and housed here but not for hunting.
Are the animals at the Game Farm still used by the movie industry?
Yes, we have used a few of our current animals several films, "Serenity Farms", "Captain Fantastic" and a National Geographic documentary on black bears and city encroachment. We do have one animal that has been retired by longtime animal trainer friend. We continue to be interested in future opportunities and are actively training several wildlife animals.
How long does the tour take?
Typical drive tour takes anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour but it is completely self-paced. The admission ticket is good for all day until closing. On major holiday weekends, wait times and lines can and do occur, thus extending drive tour time.
Are we allowed to bring our own bread to feed?
Yes, you can bring your own bread in to feed, wheat or whole grain bread is only permitted. Multi grains and other heavily grained wheat bread can be too rich for the animals so just a basic wheat bread is needed. (No white, sourdough, etc.)
Why can't we bring in fruit or other food items to feed the animals?
You can donate fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, or fresh caught fish to Olympic Game Farm but U.S.D.A. (APHIS) has a strict rule about customers feeding our animals. Wheat bread is the ONLY type of feed allowed to be given by the customers. Olympic Game Farm will accept fresh fruit and fresh vegetables but it will need to be inspected by us and fed out by us or under strict observation if permitted by senior management. Bread has been proven to be an excellent source of fat and fiber for our animals. Large animals differ from humans and domesticated animals tremendously, with their fat & nutritional needs. Rotten, moldy, or freezer dried items will not be accepted. We cannot accept anything from your personal freezer. Please call and check first about any other food items.
What other type of feed is given to the animals besides bread?
Each animal has a well-balanced nutritional diet based on their nutritional needs by our veterinarian care plan. Meat, poultry, fish, nuts, berries, vegetables, fruit, roots, vitamins, minerals, hay, & grain are fed daily, during business hours and after closing.
We do ask for customers to not take it upon themselves to decide what is best to feed our animals. Any food items other than the bread brought to feed, will be held at the gate until the tour is over and it will be returned. Violators will be asked to leave.
We ask this, not only because of the U.S.D.A. rule, each animal is carefully monitored and fed daily. Some of the animals are not allowed certain foods due to medical reasons, dental problems, allergies, being strict carnivores, etc.
We have had customers sneak in produce/meat before, and quite a few of our animals fell violently ill. While the untrained customers thought they were doing what was best, we almost lost some of our precious animals.
Are pets allowed inside our vehicle while driving?
Yes, pets are allowed as long as they are kept inside an enclosed vehicle and unable to escape your vehicle. All pets must be on a leash.
Are convertibles/open vehicles permitted?
All vehicles must be fully enclosed at all times for your safety. Jeeps, Broncos, etc. must have sides and tops on, making it fully enclosed. NO MOTORCYCLES, SCOOTERS, MOPEDS, OR BICYCLES ARE PERMITTED on drive tour.
What was the difference between the original walk tour and the new "Mini Tour"?
The difference between the original walk and the new mini tour is:
– in the original tour, a tour guide would walk visitors through the predator area in addition to the barn and aquarium and was only offered to groups of 10 people or more when scheduled in advance at an additional charge.
– In the "mini tour", all visitors can enjoy the experience at their own leisure but the predator compound is not included.
Why are you no longer allowing the original walking tours to take place this year?
We are upgrading the predator enclosure area. Rest assured the animals in the predator area will still be in view from your vehicle on the driving tour. For safety reasons, we cannot allow visitors on foot around the construction.
The original tours will still be offered to schools and other educational groups throughout the year, please call for details or scheduling.
When are the busiest times? Or What times/days to avoid long lines and traffic congestion inside OGF?
PLEASE plan your trip to Olympic Game Farm prior to your arrival here.
The busiest weekends are Memorial weekend and Labor Day weekend. Friday,Saturday, and Sunday are the busiest days of those two holiday weekends. Saturday and Sunday can see over 500 cars each day with peak times from ranging from 11 a.m. to 4-5 p.m. Traffic congestion throughout the Farm is always a concern during this time and we ask that all visitors be conscious and courteous to other visitors who are also trying to enjoy themselves as they drive around the Farm. Remember, your receipt is good all day until closing so that you can go around multiple times as needed. Also, our animals do get tried towards the afternoon/evening and can/will start to ignore people as the day wears on.
On a typical summer week, Saturday would be the busiest day and slowly tapers to the lowest day of Wednesday, then building back up each day. Beginning from 11 a.m., the peak traffic begins and eventually lessens after 3pm as the animals grow tired and head to their sleeping areas for the evening.
Our employees do work as fast as possible to keep the entry traffic lines moving smoothly and quickly; however, the lines moves as fast as our patrons allow us to work. We encourage that our visitors to already have family plans/arrangements (such as who is paying and with what form of payment,also to know the ages of children, any discounts, etc.) made prior to entering the Farm.

The National Archaeological Museum is the largest museum in Greece and one of the world\'s great museums. Although its original purpose was to secure all the finds from the nineteenth century excavations in and around Athens, it gradually became the central National Archaeological Museum and was enriched with finds from all over Greece. Its abundant collections, with more than 20,000 exhibits, provide a panorama of Greek civilization from the beginnings of Prehistory to Late Antiquity.
The museum is housed in an imposing neoclassical building of the end of the nineteenth century, which was designed by L. Lange and remodelled by Ernst Ziller. The vast exhibition space - numerous galleries on each floor accounting for a total of 8,000 square metres - house five large permanent collections: The Prehistoric Collection, which includes works of the great civilizations that developped in the Aegean from the sixth millennium BC to 1050 BC (Neolithic, Cycladic, Mycenaean), and finds from the prehistoric settlement at Thera. The Sculptures Collection, which shows the development of ancient Greek sculpture from the seventh to the fifth centuries BC with unique masterpieces. The Vase and Minor Objects Collection, which contains representative works of ancient Greek pottery from the eleventh century BC to the Roman period and includes the Stathatos Collection, a corpus of minor objects of all periods. The Metallurgy Collection, with many fundamental statues, figurines and minor objects. And, finally, the only Egyptian and Near Eastern Antiquities Collection in Greece, with works dating from the pre-dynastic period (5000 BC) to the Roman conquest.
The museum possesses a rich photographic archive and a library with many rare publications, the latter of which is constantly enriched to meet the needs of the research staff. There are also modern conservation laboratories for metal, pottery, stone and organic materials, a cast workshop, a photographic laboratory and a chemistry laboratory. The museum has temporary exhibition spaces, a lecture hall for archaeological lectures and one of the largest shops of the Archaeological Receipts Fund.
The National Archaeological Museum welcomes thousands of visitors each year. Besides displaying its own treasures, it organizes temporary exhibitions and lends artefacts to exhibitions both in Greece and abroad. It also functions as a research center for scientists and scholars from around the world and participates in special educational and other programs. An important feature is the availability of guided visits for people with hearing impediments. The Museum functions as a Special Regional Service of the Ministry of Culture and its five permanent collections are administered autonomously.
Agora museum is housed in the Stoa of Attalos, a reconstructed building of around 150 B.C. The characteristic feature of the museum is that the exhibits are all closely connected with the Athenian Democracy, as the Agora was the focus of the city\\\'s public life.
The collections of the museum include:
The most important items of the exhibition are:
All photos and texts have been taken from Hellenic Ministry of Culture
The Byzantine and Christian Museum is one of the most important museums in the world. Founded in 1914, the collections of the Christian Archaeological Society, which were amassed primarily by Georgios Lambakis, one of the Society\\\'s founding members, in the period up to 1884 and exhibited in a room in the National Archaeological Museum, formed the core of the new Museum.
The Byzantine and Christian Museum opened to the public in 1924. The Museum has over 25,000 artifacts in its possession, organized into collections that date from the 3rd to the 20th century. The Museum\\\'s collections include sculpture, icons, works of minor arts, wall paintings, ceramics and fabrics, manuscripts, drawings, engravings, early printed books, as well as copies of Byzantine and post-Byzantine wall paintings and mosaics. The artifacts are drawn from the entire Greek world and other territories where the Hellenic spirit flourished. The number of collections and the quality of the exhibits they contain make the Museum a veritable treasure trove of Byzantine and post-Byzantine art and culture.

The National Historical Museum was founded in 1882 for the purpose of collecting, saving and presenting relics and documentary evidence relating to modern Greek history. It is the oldest museum of its kind and it includes rich collections, which highlight the most representative phases of Neo-Hellenism, from the fall of Constantinople (15th Century) on. The National Historical Museum is also a research centre for Modern Greek History.The BuildingThe museum is housed in the Old Parliament Building, which was founded in 1835 by Queen Amalia, and previously housed the Greek Parliament, from 1875 to 1935. The Old Parliament is an architectural jewel in the centre of Athens, while its grand congress hall is a place of historic significance; it is also appropriate for hosting major cultural and historical events today. Permanent ExhibitionA great segment of the collection, gathered since the founding of the Society, is part of the permanent exhibition of the Museum, presented in the rooms encircling the congress hall. The historical progress of Neo-Hellenism can be easily comprehended through the items exhibited in chronological order, from the fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans (1453), up to and including the Greco-Italian War of 1940.Address: Old Parliament Building, 13 Stadiou Street, 105 61 Athens Telephone Numbers: 210-3237617, 3237315 Fax 210-3213786 Web Site: http://www.nhmuseum.gr/
The Museum of Cycladic Art is devoted to the study and promotion of ancient Greek art. It was founded in 1986 in order to house the collection of Cycladic and Ancient Greek art belonging to Nicholas and Dolly Goulandris. Starting in the early Sixties, and with a permit by the Greek State, the couple collected Greek antiquities, with special interest in the prehistoric art from the Cycladic islands. The Cycladic Collection, which was now given a slight preference owing to the scholarly importance of the subject and the ever growing international interest and the Ancient Greek Collection, covering Greek art from the 2nd millennium B.C. to the first centuries A.D., which was also enriched with significant additions. Between 1979 and 1984, the Nicholas P. Goulandris Collection was exhibited in some of the most important Museums world-wide: the National Gallery of Art in Washington (1979), the Museum of Western Art in Tokyo (1980), the Museum of Fine Arts at Houston (1981), the Royal Museum of History and Art in Brussels (1982), the British Museum in London (1983), and the Grand Palais in Paris (1983). Already in 1981 Nicholas and Dolly Goulandris had decided that their collection was to be permanently exhibited in Athens, in a Museum open to scholars and the general public. In 1986, the Nicholas P. Goulandris Foundation was created and approved by the Greek State. According to its constituent act, the Foundation\\\'s objectives are the study of Aegean civilisation, research into Greek prehistoric and Classical art, and its dissemination and promotion. The Foundation ensures the protection, display, and expansion of the collection; organises temporary exhibitions on important topics; undertakes the publication of scholarly monographs and catalogues; and participates in research projects world-wide.Address 4, Neophytou Douka Str., GR-106 74 AthensTelephone +30-210-72.28.321-3 Fax +30-210-72.39. 382 Web Site: http//www.cycladic-m.gr
The Benaki Museum was founded in 1930 by Antonis Benakis, member of a pre-eminent Greek family in Alexandreia, which made an invaluable contribution to the political, social and cultural life of Greece. Benakis began forming his collections whilst still in Egypt and donated them to the Greek State in 1926, when he settled permanently in Athens. These collections are housed in his paternal home, one of the handsomest Neoclassical buildings in the capital, which was converted into the first private museum in Greece.The Museum is endowed daily with valuable properties and independent ensembles of artworks which fill in the gaps in individual collections. The rapid growth of the Museum's holdings and activities necessitated the enlargement of its facilities, the hiving off of certain sections and their re-housing in new annexes; this entailed the overall review of the museological thinking behind the foundation. The central building presents the historical and cultural development of Hellenism. Exhibits span the Neolithic Age to the twentieth century. Many of them are masterpieces of Greek Art or are of seminal significance for Greek history: from Antiquity and the Roman Era to the Byzantine Age, from the Fall of Constantinople (1453), the period of Frankish rule and the Ottoman occupation, to the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence (1821), and from the time of the formation of the Modern Greek State until the Asia Minor Catastrophe (1922).For more information you may contact at: Tel 210 367 1000Fax 210 367 1063Web Site: http://www.benaki.grAddress: 1, Koumbari str & Vas.

The Numismatic Museum of Athens, with a history going back to 1829, is one of the few of its kind in the world and the only such museum in the Balkans. It provides continuous educational support for Hellenism in terms of numismatics, history and art history. The strength of the collection lies in some six hundred thousand coins covering the ancient Greek world, the Roman and Byzantine periods, western Mediaeval times and modern times, "hoards" (closed numismatic groups), weights, lead stamps, medals and precious stones.
About ten thousand volumes devoted to the special field of numismatics, to history, to seals and to archaeology, as well as offprints, fascicles, and general publications cover the archaeological material. In addition there is an extraordinarily rich archive of documents.
The National Museum of Contemporary Art began its operation in 2000. Its foundation came to cover a huge gap that the decades long absence of an analogous institution for contemporary international art had created in Athens. Exhibitions of contemporary art were taking and still take place in Athens. But the responsibility of the Museum, which equally sets in the centre of its activities both works of art and the public, is not to act circumstantially but based on a organized plan that is being realized from exhibition to exhibition and aims at awakening sensitivities and formulate critical thought and aesthetic criteria: there are no museums without audiences. Still, there are no museums without collections. The goal, both by exhibitions and collections, is to offer all the Museum\\\'s visitors, which remains an unreservedly democratic institution, the "other" dimension which in these times cannot be conceived outside transcultural and ecumenical patterns. Among the Museum's basic aims are: the creation of collections of works of contemporary Hellenic and international art, the promotion and presentation of advanced and experimental artistic tendencies, the enhancement of the aesthetic and artistic cultivation of the audience and the development of scientific research on subjects of contemporary art history and theory.

The Theatre Museum was founded in 1938 by th "Greek Playwrights' Society" under the Presidency of the author Theodoros Synadinos. In a few years, the Theatre Museum succeeded in becoming and being recognized as a very dynamic and profound "Hellenic Centre of Theatrical Research", possessing a monumental and unique archive of manuscripts and books (dating to the 18 th century), theatre programs (since 1880), photographs, negatives, slides, posters, newspaper articles, interviews or theatre critiques, films' archives, audiovisual material (around 2.000 videos of winter and summer theatrical performances of Greek or foreign plays, since 1984, taped exclusively and under the absolute responsibility of the Museum), disks and audiotapes of some of the most famous radio theatrical pieces, operas, theatre or film music etc. Today, the "Hellenic Centre of Theatrical Research – Theatre Museum" is the only one so completed and thorough all over Europe.

The museum was founded in 1976, after the private collection of Paul and Alexandra Canellopoulos was donated to the Greek state. The collection is housed in a bulging that belonged to the old Athenian Michaelas family. Built in 1894, it was expropriated and reconditioned by the Greek State between 1960 and 1970, and the Museum opened its doors to the public in July 1976. The collection amassed with difficulty over some sixty years, contains about 6000 objects. Covering virtually all periods of Greek civilization, from prehistoric times through the 18th and 19th century, the collection was created with the goal of displaying the unbroken development of Greek art throughout the centuries. The exhibition was organized with the greatest care and divided into chronological, thematic and geographical units by the archaeologist Maria Brouskari.This arrangement allows the visitor to follow the development of Greek art as it grew to maturity, both in its marvellous variety – while distinguishing various trends in different regions and local populations – and in its individual characteristics.

The Frissiras Museum, the only Museum for Contemporary European Painting in Greece, was inaugurated on November 27, 2000 by the President of the Republic Constantine Stefanopoulos and officially opened on December 4, 2000 by the Mayor of Athens Dimitris Avramopoulos. It is housed in Plaka, in two adjacent neoclassical buildings brought up to the latest museum specifications, and operates as a non-profit private entity. The collections comprise sections of paintings, drawings, sculptures and engravings by major European artists in constructive dialogue with their Greek counterparts, and attempt to trace the trends and record the figures of the anthropocentric European painting after World War II.Among the exhibits of the Museum are works by Hockney, Auerbach, Blake, Rustin, Pat Andrea, Dado, Segui, Rego, Velickovic, Arroyo, Adami, Diamantopoulos, Moralis, Ìavroidis, Theofylaktopoulos, Botsoglou, Dikos Vyzantios, Christoforou and the younger Kirby, Howson, Corpet, Martinelli, Smith, Pasieka, Marrey, Schauwecker, Lappas, Missouras, Manzavinos, Sacaillian, Daskaliakis, Bitsikas... It is noted that the collection comprises over 3000 works. The Museum has already formed cooperation schemes with other European institutions (Veranneman Museum, Whitechapel, Adami Foundation, Maeght Foundation, Onassis Foundation) for the exchange of exhibitions and related activities. The operation of the Museum is based entirely on private initiative and aims to promote contemporary Greek art internationally and serve as a forum for the acquaintance with European art.The Museum houses the private collection of its founder, Vlassis Frissiras. An attorney by profession but passionate about Art, Vlassis Frissiras has devoted a major part of his life to collecting works of \\\'traditional\\\' oil painting. He starts collecting works by young Greek visual artists in 1978, with the resolute aim of putting together a collection made up exclusively of paintings centered on two axes: the human form and body, and representation, i.e. the figurative art that reinstates a method of painting which has been more or less marginalized by newer forms of art. In the 1990s his interest turns to European artists.Today the Frissiras collection has 3,000 works (2,000 paintings and 1,000 drawings) of anthropocentric painting, including such important names as Peter Blake, Frank Auerbach, David Hockney, Paola Rego, Jean Rustin, Pat Andrea, Valerio Adami, Leo Golub, Dado, Mimo Paladino, Antonio Segui, Sam Szafran.

The Ilias Lalaounis Jewelry Museum in Athens was founded in 1993 as a private non-profit foundation devoted to the art of jewelry. It opened to the public in 1994 and today houses in its permanent collections more than 4000 models of jewelry and micro-sculptures, from 50 collections, designed by its founder Academician Ilias Lalaounis, between 1940 and 2000.Since the year 2001 the Museum has opened its doors and collects jewelry and other decorative arts from different periods and various cultures.
The Museum's cultural role focuses on promoting the history of jewelry and the goldsmith's art. A number of temporary exhibitions, research programs, publications and other cultural programs are continuously being presented. Further initiatives include social work and educational programs for students which use all the Museum's facilities, such as a library, a prototype jewelry workshop for hands on experience, and audio visual material.

York Heart Patient takes on Charity Trek
12:01am 20th November 2011
A York heart patient, who had a heart attack when she was just 40, is taking on a 17 mile trek to raise vital funds for the British Heart Foundation (BHF).
Five years ago, Jacqui Rowe had been suffering with the flu. She had experienced heart burn but put it down to the cough medicine she was taking. Then without warning, Jacqui felt dizzy, she couldn't breathe, had pins and needles and felt like she was going to vomit. She said the experience lasted around 20 seconds and felt fine afterwards.
As a precaution, her brother took her to the local hospital in Melbourne, Australia, where she was living at the time, and blood tests revealed she had suffered a heart attack.
Jacqui said:
"I didn't know I had a heart attack until the doctors told me in hospital. I had no symptoms that I was aware of. I was fit and healthy. I was running up to 10k three times a week and I didn't smoke so you just don't expect that you will have a heart attack."
A further angiogram showed that her left artery was 90% blocked and Jacqui was fitted with a stent. She began to get fit again and last year, Jacqui walked 850km across Spain to raise money for heart research.
Now Jacqui will join hundreds of walkers for the BHF's High Peak Trail Winter Challenge Walk on Sunday 20th November. She hopes to raise several hundreds of pounds for the vital work of the BHF and is urging other people to sign up.
The event follows the route of the former Cromford and High Peak Railway, which offers views of the stunning Derbyshire countryside, including the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage site.
Jacqui added:
"I have been living in York for six months and after my heart attack and subsequent stenting, I decided that I would support the heart charity wherever I lived. I hope that other people will join me and take on this walk to help the BHF."
BHF Regional Events Organiser Helen Whiteley said:
"I would like to thank Jacqui for taking part in this event after what she has been through. The High Peak Trail Winter Challenge Walk is a fantastic event and I really hope that other people will sign up and support Jacqui and the BHF."

Heart Disease and the Doctor's Exam
Some standard and simple exam techniques provide your doctor with the first clues to how well your heart functions and whether you have heart disease. During your visit, your doctor will listen to your heart, take your heart rate, and check your blood pressure.
Heart Rate
Your doctor feels your pulse in order to check your heart's rate, rhythm, and regularity. Each pulse matches up with a heartbeat that pumps blood into the arteries. The force of the pulse also helps evaluate the amount (strength) of blood flow to different areas of your body.
You can tell how fast your heart is beating (heart rate) by feeling your pulse. Your heart rate is the amount of times your heart beats in one minute.
To measure your pulse, all you need is a watch with a second hand.
* Place your index and middle finger of your hand on the inner wrist of the other arm, just below the base of the thumb. You should feel a tapping or pulsing against your fingers.
* Count the number of taps you feel in 10 seconds.
* Multiply that number by 6 to find out your heart rate for one minute (pulse in 10 seconds x 6 = ____ beats per minute)
When feeling your pulse, you can also tell if your heart rhythm is regular or not.
Your doctor listens to your heartbeat with the aid of a stethoscope. The opening and closing of your valves make a "lub dub" sound known as the heart sounds. The doctor can evaluate your heart and valve function and hear your heart's rate and rhythm by listening to your heart sounds.
Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is the force or pressure exerted in the arteries by the blood as it is pumped around the body by the heart. It is recorded as two measurements:
* Systolic blood pressure. Pressure in the arteries during the period of the heart's contraction (the higher number).
* Diastolic blood pressure. Pressure in the arteries when the heart is relaxed, between heartbeats (the lower number).
Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), which refers to how high the pressure in the arteries can raise a column of mercury in a sphygmomanometer, a device for measuring blood pressure.
Normal blood pressure for an adult, relaxed at rest, is less than or equal to 120 over 80. The 120 is the systolic pressure; the diastolic pressure is 80. Blood pressure may increase or decrease, depending on your age, heart condition, emotions, activity, and the medications you take. One high reading does not mean you have high blood pressure. It is necessary to measure your blood pressure at different times while resting to find out your typical value.
Physical Exam
Your doctor can also tell about your heart's function by examining other parts of your body such as your eyes, arms, legs, and skin.
Blood Tests
Your doctor may recommend a blood test to check your cholesterol and other markers that may indicate heart disease.
Heart Disease, Electrocardiogram, and Specialized EKGs
An electrocardiogram (also called EKG or ECG) is a test that records the electrical activity of your heart through small electrode patches attached to the skin of your chest, arms, and legs. An EKG may be part of a routine physical exam or it may be used as a test for heart disease. An EKG can be used to further investigate symptoms related to heart problems.
EKGs are quick, safe, painless, and inexpensive tests that are routinely performed if a heart condition is suspected.
Your doctor uses the EKG to:
* Assess your heart rhythm.
* Diagnose poor blood flow to the heart muscle (ischemia).
* Diagnose a heart attack.
* Evaluate certain abnormalities of your heart, such as an enlarged heart.
How Should I Prepare for an EKG?
To prepare for an EKG:
* Avoid oily or greasy skin creams and lotions the day of the test. They interfere with the electrode-skin contact.
* Avoid full-length hosiery, because electrodes need to be placed directly on the legs.
* Wear a shirt that can be easily removed to place the leads on the chest.
What Happens During an EKG?
During an EKG, a technician will attach 10 electrodes with adhesive pads to the skin of your chest, arms, and legs. Men may have chest hair shaved to allow a better connection. You will lie flat while the computer creates a picture, on graph paper, of the electrical impulses traveling through your heart. This is called a "resting" EKG. This same test may also be used to monitor your heart during exercise.
It takes about 10 minutes to attach the electrodes and complete the test, but the actual recording takes only a few seconds.
Your EKG patterns will be kept on file for later comparison with future EKG recordings.
If you have questions, be sure to ask your doctor.
In addition to the standard EKG, your doctor may recommend other specialized EKG tests, including a holter monitor or a signal-averaged electrocardiogram.
What Is a Holter Monitor?
A holter monitor is a portable EKG that monitors the electrical activity of a freely moving person's heart generally for one to two days, 24-hours a day. It is most often used when the doctor suspects an abnormal heart rhythm or ischemia (not enough blood flow to the heart muscle).
It is a painless test; electrodes from the monitor are taped to the skin. Once the monitor is in place, you can go home and perform all of your normal activities (except showering). You will be asked to keep a diary of your activities and any symptoms you experience and when they occur.
What Is an Event Monitor?
If your symptoms are infrequent your doctor may suggest an event monitor. This is a device that, when you push a button, will record and store the heart's electrical activity for a few minutes. Each time you develop symptoms you should try to get a reading on the monitor. They are used for weeks to months, typically one month. This information can later by transmitted by telephone to the doctor for interpretation.
What Is a Signal-Averaged Electrocardiogram?
This is a painless test used to assess whether a person is at high risk of developing a potentially fatal heart arrhythmia. It is performed in a similar manner to the EKG, but uses sophisticated technology to look for heart arrhythmias.

Piper PA-28-140 Cherokee, G-BCGJ
Following a session of five dual circuits, all of which were described by the student's instructor as being well flown, the student was instructed to delay flying solo circuits until the cloudbase had risen above 1,500 ft aal. This occurred approximately 30 minutes later and the instructor, who was flying in another aircraft, authorised the student by radio to fly a session of solo circuits. Runway 19 was in use and the surface wind was reported by ATC as 210º at 14 kt.
The student flew two circuits successfully but on the third circuit the aircraft was observed to bounce on landing, becoming airborne again. It was then observed to pitch nose-down before bouncing for a second time, following which the aircraft struck the runway causing the nose landing gear to detach. The aircraft remained on the runway, sliding to a halt on its nose and after turning the fuel selector, ignition and battery master switch to OFF, the student vacated the aircraft.
The instructor commented that the student had been trained to go-around after a bounced landing and that additional training on this point would be provided to assist the student in regaining confidence following the accident.

Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez feels that he deserved to be in the national side. He made his comeback during One-Day International series in Australia. Also, he thinks that proven players should get "more chances" and he was good enough in previous two years to get those chances.
Hafeez said "If you look at my numbers, I think I deserve to be in the Pakistan team. In the last two years, I think I have played 28 to 29 matches and averaged 38 in ODIs. I have always believed that a few matches, or one or two series, don't justify your talent. Good and bad days do come but when you are a proven player, you surely get more chances."
The 36-year-old also led his team in two ODIs when Azhar Ali got injured. Pakistan went to lose that series by 1-4 and the solitary victory came with some great efforts by Hafeez. He made 72 in successful run-chase and finished the series with 123 runs at an average of 24.60. Though, he feels it was 'okay' performance from him as he was under pressure.
He added "My performance in Australia wasn't outstanding, but I felt it was okay. I was under pressure for two reasons - one because it was my comeback as a player, and secondly, because it was my first series back as a bowler. Though I couldn't get wickets, I felt I bowled according to the situation and my economy was quite good, which helped the team."
The right-hander was also featured in the Peshawar Zalmi, who won the second edition of PSL earlier in this month in Lahore. He was below average during the whole tournament as he managed only 153 runs in 10 games apart from seven wickets. Even he felt the same for his performance in this tournament.
He concluded "In the PSL, my role wasn't defined properly and my position in the batting order changed, but that is not an excuse. I did struggle and my performances weren't strong enough. But when selectors opt for a player, they look at the conditions and requirements in the team. I am happy they have given me the responsibility and trusted me."
Pakistan will tour West Indies for a full series where they will play four T20Is, three ODIs and three Test matches from March 26 to May 14.

The Chitrolekha Journal on Art and Design (E-ISSN 2456-978X) is a scholarly platform for discussions on the evolution and intercategorial development of art and design. The journal explores arts both as a mode of signaling as well as being in an ontological sense. The mystery of the first arts of our ancestors intrigues us today, from a scientific as much as an aesthetic perspective. Similarly the future of arts leads us to think of things quite unknown to us. The scope of the journal therefore, will be open-ended so as to be able to incorporate and address emerging areas in human arts and sciences. The broad areas of representation are:
- History and Prehistory of Art
- Visual Studies
- Performance Arts
- Intersections
- Art and Religion
- Art and Technology
- Design and Culture
- Art, Ecology, Environment
- Contemporary Art
- Commercial design aesthetics
- Textiles, Fashion, Perishable Arts
- Handicrafts and Heritage Preservation & Management
- To explore interdisciplinary relationships of art with other disciplines and emerging fields.
- To facilitate understanding of the patterns and structures of art and design across cultures.
- To promote emerging forms of art and technology

May 05, 2014 Sarah Hall Uncategorized
Self-expression is one of the most important — and one of the hardest — things a teenager can do.
Cicero-North Syracuse High School has created a forum in which students can do just that.
At the school's annual Poetry Slam, held April 30 and May 1, students are able to share their own poetry as well as that of famous poets in front of a large group. They can also sing a song; one student performed an original piece and played the ukulele. Students are judged by a panel of volunteers, teachers at the school, who determine a first-, second- and third-place winner. Each winner receives a Barnes and Noble gift card.
This year, staffers also joined the event; the winners of the student event had the opportunity to judge the faculty on their readings.
"We wanted to get staff involved to generate camaraderie and collegiality," said English teacher Patty Farrington, who organizes the event every year. "We need to act as role models and show the students we're readers, too."
The event began in 1999 as a way to celebrate National Poetry Month, which takes place every April.
"It emphasizes the important role poetry, and language as a whole, play in our lives," Farrington said. "We felt we needed a place for students to share and express their own work. We've also found over time that students have asked about sharing other pieces they felt influenced by, so they share those as well."
Farrington said she thought the event was important because it allowed students freedom of expression as well as total creative control.
"In free verse poetry, there are no rules, and even though there are some rules as to structure with other forms, there are no boundaries on what someone feel," she said. "To express and have that ultimate control — where else do they have that except over the words they wrote and shared? That's phenomenal for a young person."
Farrington emphasized the bravery it takes to get up and share personal works with such a large group — this year's event included more than 40 student readers and attracted dozens of spectators.
"It takes a great deal of courage to do this," she said. "You wear your heart on your sleeve when you share your own writing, and when you share someone else's, you're wearing their emotions on your sleeve."
Senior Jillian Moczara said it was nerves that kept her from participating in previous years, something she now regrets.
"I've written poetry for a couple of years, and I've never been confident enough in it to read it in front of people," Moczara said. "This year, I finally had something I was comfortable enough reading in front or people."
Moczara's poem about the power of spoken-word poetry was a prize winner in this year's competition. She said she was glad she found the courage to participate this year, as poetry plays an important role in her life.
""I thought that was really cool to let [students] express themselves in front of other people," she said. "It's really inspired me and helped me realize what I want to do with the rest of my life. I want to be an English teacher. Writing it functions as an emotional outlet for me."
Farrington said poetry plays an important role for everyone.
"Poetry shapes the way we think about the world around us," she said. "For students, it allows them to become observers in a way they may not have before. It allows them to see things in a whole new way… Poetry doesn't have to be something stiff and formal and unreachable. It doesn't have to be hard to understand. Everyone can take part and enjoy."
Most importantly, poetry and events like the Poetry Slam allow students to see their peers in a new light.
"It was cool because I was just sitting here, and I would be in awe of the brilliance that is in this school," said junior Crystal King, who participated in the event for the first time this year. "I had no idea. You see a lot of ignorant and dumb people in high school, and then you see these beautiful minds and it was really cool to see all of that."
Farrington, who would like to see the Poetry Slam become a full-day, districtwide program, said the event allows students to connect to each other on a different level while acknowledging the tremendous amount of talent within the high school.
"It's so important for them to be spotlighted. There's so much goodness in this building," she said. "No matter what a student shares, even if it's sad, it's okay to share what you're feeling. [We want to show them] their feelings are valid. To share, value and care about their feelings as well as the words that express those feelings is key to what we're doing with students in terms of helping them grow."
