Drink Up: Learn How To Always Have Clean and Potable Water Using Filtration
There's a wilderness survival axiom, known as the Rule of Threes. This rule speaks to the importance of prioritizing actions... View ArticleView Article
Celestial Navigation has always been an interest of mine. Just knowing all that's required is to look up towards the heavens and discern direction based on constellations is amazing to me.
Most people understand the concept of the earth revolving around the sun and in turn, its own rotation. It's also important to grasp that here in the Northern Hemisphere, the stars may seem to spin around the North Star, or Polaris, rising in the east and setting in the west, but in reality it's actually the earth rotating around the other way.
Today we'll be taking a look at how you can easily navigate with the knowledge of a few key constellations.
These two constellations, Ursa Major (aka the Big Dipper) and Cassiopeia, are guideposts for finding Polaris and one of the two (if not both) are always visible in the night sky. They both rotate around Polaris and may occasionally fall below your horizon, but never "set."
The Big Dipper looks like a ladle with a long handle, created by seven stars. The outer two stars, Merak and Dubhe, are "pointer" stars. If you imagined that you and a buddy each have a ladle and were toasting each other, the two stars that make up this edge are what would clank together.
By drawing an imaginary line through these two stars, roughly five times their combined distance from each other, you'll be right on Polaris. Just keep in mind that the Big Dipper is rotating counter-clockwise around polaris, so while it might appear at different angles, the pointers will always line up correctly.
Opposite the Big Dipper is Cassiopeia, a "W" shaped constellation made up of five stars. The middle star, Gamma, which forms the middle tip of the "W," is the pointer star. By following Gamma the same distance as you did from The Big Dipper, you'll hit Polaris, or the North Star.
Now that you've located north, all that's left to do is stretch your arms out to find east with your right hand and west with your left hand. South will be directly behind you.
Polaris is also the last star in "tail" of Ursa Minor (aka the Little Dipper.) Depending on where you're at and the light pollution there, you might be able to find the Little Dipper and the North Star without needing to use the Big Dipper or Polaris.
Something to also consider, provided you can see the horizon, is finding your latitude based on the angle between the North Star and the horizon. Since latitude lines run east-west and are measured by the distance north or south of the equator (zero degrees), it can help you determine how far north you are.
By taking a fist out in front of you, count how many "fists" are between the North Star and the horizon. This is approximately 10 degrees for every fist. So four fists would mean 40˚ and put you on the same latitude as Denver, Colorado. Obviously hand sizes differ, but just being able to approximate latitude may help you out.
In the Southern Hemisphere, the techniques I've gone over here won't work. While I'll save this information for a future article, the Southern Cross (aka Crux) can be used to find direction in the southern sky.
I also can't recommend a Star Pointer enough, it's a simple 5 mW laser pointer that can illuminate or "point" to different stars. I picked one up a few years back to teach celestial navigation to Boy Scouts in our Troop and it really helps in identifying what you want someone to be looking at.
There are plenty of companies out there that manufacturer them, but I purchased a Green Laser Pointer from Z-Bolt and have been happy with it over the past few years. It's been a good investment.
Get out there and practice picking out the constellations that will help guide your way and share it with friends and family. Navigating by the stars is something everyone should know how to do.

I'm a lifeline boater, and USCG-licensed Captain.
Celestial navigation has helped sea captains for centuries, and then airplane pilots during the early days of aviation, though World War II.
Navigating by the stars is an amazing skill to learn. But, it's almost as "risky" for newbies, too! Too many rookies "forget" that most of the stars appear to move across our sky. e.g. they aim for a star, and head in that direction -- only to have it move across the sky, and lead them in a new/wrong direction.
Also, on CLEAR nights, the sky seems to be filled with COUNTLESS stars. It's VERY EASY to lose site/track of "your" star.
We recently performed a crossing of the Gulf of Mexico. We experienced a SERIOUS tropical storm, that knocked-out ALL of our electronics (except for our depth gauge, and our magnetic compass.) But, the compass hadn't been recalibrated for this area/region (yet.) The crossing was SUPPOSED to be clear, with seas of one foot or less. Instead, we experienced a TERRIBLE storm, with sharp 6-8 foot seas, and a starless night.
As much as we WISH we could have leveraged the skies for our navigation -- the Gods would have no mercy. No land in sight, no moon, no stars. As the sun rose, we never even saw it, either. Just grey skies...
Thankfully, the compass was "good enough" to get us heading in the right general direction (eastward.) It was pointless to focus on a specific bearing. "Easterly" was good enough. We were in the Gulf of Mexico, after all. Sooner or later, we'd run into Florida's coastline.
So, we watched the depth gauge, until the waters shallowed to about 12 feet. We then turned right/southerly. If the waters became less than 10 feet deep, we knew that we were getting too close to shore, and risk running into barrier islands, or shoals. If the water depth grew to nearly 20 feet, we knew that we would be too far offshore to catch the lights of Tampa/Clearwater/St Petersburg -- still hours ahead of us.
After what seemed like an ENDLESS 48 hours, we indeed FINALLY caught the lights of Clearwater, Florida -- safe passage -- with nothing much more than dead-reconing via an essentially-broken compass, and a depth gauge. (If the depth gauge had broken, too, I would have created a lead-line based on the length of our boat (for 40 foot, long, 14 feet wide.) I would have checked the water depth every 30-60 minutes to ensure whether we were 14 feet deep, or more/less...
I guess what I'm trying to say with all this, is that celestial navigation is a GREAT thing to learn! But, people need to be careful that it also doesn't lead them astray! EVERYONE should keep a compass in their possession (even if it's broken, or not calibrated.) When the sun rose for us, the eastern sky was just light/grey enough, for us to kinda "orientate" ourselves to the compass -- and know what "east" was. So, even a semi-functional compass, can be of more benefit than the stars (especially when you have limited visibility of the stars/sky.)
We LOVE to star-gaze while camping!!! We enjoy finding satellites among all the shimmers of light. Since some of these are in geo-stationary orbits (e.g. for satellite TV service) -- knowing where these "artificial" stars are located, can be of GREAT benefit to your navigation efforts, too! (e.g. they will NOT "move" on you!) Most of the TV satellites for Directv and such are in the southern sky. So, if you can spot these, then you kinda have a "fix" on "south" -- and can orientate yourself.
Another hint: In the daytime, when you are disoriented in a city, you can kinda look at the rooftops and balconies for TV satellite dishes (they will all be pointing generally south in the USA.) They are also usually mounted on the south-facing side of the buildings, too. (e.g. while rumor has it that moss grows on the north/shady side of trees -- satellite dishes grow on the south/sunny side of buildings.)
That first photo is marvelous. I grabbed copy to use as a desktop picture.
You might want to add a warning that laser pointers such as Star Pointer are powerful enough they can create problems for aircraft pilots, temporarily blinding them.. You can get into very big trouble with the FAA for that. If you get one, don't use it around airports and, when you do use it, keep your eye out for the flashing strobes of aircraft and helicopters. The latter is particularly likely to be flying low.
Aircraft get all the attention, but the same is true of ships and cars. Treat a powerful laser like a loaded gun. Never point it at anyone, however distant they might be. They are not toys.

Beautiful Rug
Perfect shape under my round dining room table.Read More
nice rug!
This rug is great quality and looks especially good in a bay window! note that the measurement is 6 feet from point to point . it is actually 5 feet from flat side to flat side. Its surprisingly soft on the feet.Read More
Great quality rug
This is a super nice-quality rug, and the hexagon shape provides a bit of a spin to the design. I needed a natural-color rug for my foyer that would blend into the natural color of our hardwood oak floor. I also needed a rug that would hide pet stains, and this certainly will. The color is an average taupe, with strands of gray and golden beige. Like our other knotty rugs, any dirt will vacuum off easily. Originally I had the fine sissel rugs and they showed every small spill and print. I'll never buy a fine-textured, mono-colored rug again! The description on this site says the rug is jute and wool. It is not; the tag says it's jute with 5 percent cotton, which makes sense. While the rug feels knotty, it's also pretty soft.Read More
So far so good..
This rug was a cool shape so I bought it for under my new outdoor coffee table of the set I purchased. I thought I wanted a straw rug but, well, jute smells funny and when it gets wet its even worse.. smells like hay. Wet hay. and it also pulls easy, but then again I have two dogs who sometimes get into my screen canopy area. Pets love to scratch up straw..Read More
Not so much
Received the rug in a timely manner as usual but I have to say that if I had been shopping in a store I would have passed on this one. Although the workmanship looked to be decent, to me it was definitely not worth the price. The description says 6 foot of course and it's not, I would say it's at least 6 inches smaller. It also says the rug is .75 inches thick and it's not even close. Overstock however was great in the return.Read More
Great rugs! Just as expected.
Rugs are great. I bought an "8ft" and a "6ft" at the same time. Like others said, they are lighter than pictured, like the color you'd find of this type of rug in stores. It is a soft jute, can walk on with bare feet comfortably, and my discerning dog enjoys sleeping on it. These are a natural fiber-type rug. They don't shed and if they had a smell, it went away within a couple of hours (I don't remember a significant scent, any new rug would have a smell though). The "8ft" rug is 8ft point to point, and 7ft from the straight sides. The "6ft" rug is 6ft point to point and 5ft from the straight sides. They match each other in color and design and laid totally flat within an hour of putting them out. Hope that helps!Read More
Nice quality!
This just arrived to replace a more expensive rug that didn't hold up. Looks and feels nice, it seems to be a good quality rug. I like it, and lighter in color than shown which is nice too. It looks to last for a long time, thank you!Read More
Interesting Took A Chance
Great rug for the price. Using it in my kitchen to hide the terrible floor for now. It is going to the covered patio next month. Softer than I thought it would be, very easy to clean. Nephew spilled juicy juice on it, came right out.Read More
star Rug
I purchased the hand-tufted braided hexagon rug mid summer for my covered patio where there is very little traffic and it already looks very used and is falling apart. I do not recommend this rug at all.Read More
nice rug
I am very happy with this rug. The size and shape works great in my foyer which is almost square. I wanted something to replace a persian style rug for a cleaner lined, more contemporay look in my foyer. Because of the hexagon shape, this rug holds its own in design and design and brings a new, fresh look to my foyer.Read More
Questions & Answers
Need it
Perfect size & shape. Not thrilled about material: Jute. Thought it might be rough on bare feet, but 'REVIEWS' indicated it was not so rough. So I'll give it a try.
For under my kitchen table which is round
what is the exact measurement from flat side to flat side? reviews mention that is measures 6" from point to point.
Hello accessoryqueen1, thank you for your inquiry! The measurement size from one end to another is 6 ft, but if you take one corner to another then it it is 5.5 ft. I hope this helps. Happy shopping!
IS there a backing on this rug?

Going back to my roots : Kefallonia
... 8217;s mum – Kefallonia, Greece
I didn't get to meet anyone from Gran's mum's family. Apparently, those that are left don't speak English and live on the main land more. There are some American relatives Uncle John tells me, but they only visit in August. So I spent a great 5 days just leaving the Greek life, like my yai yai might've.
I flew into Kefallonia from Athens at 6:30am on Monday. We landed just ...
Day Two: The Hotel
... Off to the Beach, it's about a 10 minute walk past a couple of hotels, taverna's and shops.The Beach is a narrow sandy bay with the Bluest water around a small harbour. There's a row of Taverna's along the front and it's generally a nice quiet area.
Off come shoes and a walk through the edge of the water takes us to a small wooden jetty where we all sit and soak up the sun. Feel So Relaxed ...
Day Two: The Arrival
... why haven't I got my Camera out!! You'll have to take my word for it.
A few minutes later we're at the hotel.
Off the coach we're met by George who directs us to the Pool Bar where I thirstily watch the lady behind the bar poor a Large Mythos beer - It's 1am after a long journey, Beer or Bed!!! Bed wins out. The Lady who turns out to be Jenny shows us to our rooms.
Enjoying & exploring Poros
... Bay. I loved seeing some goats along the way, especially one cute girl with a big bell on. Dogs, rabbits and goats are high on my list of favourite animals :)
Into town for a few supplies then thankfully back to the resort. I think today was the hottest it's been and felt like I was starting to fry out on the quad bike.
We had a lovely time enjoying our last afternoon reading, swimming and relaxing by the sea.
We woke up and went to the famous cave in Kefalonia called Melissani cave of the nymphs. This cave is 39m deep, 160m long and 40m wide. It is 16,000 - 20,000 years old We went on a little boat and got to go around the cave. It was so cold. The water was all different colours of blue and green. After that we went to an other famous beach for the day called Skala. We stayed and swam there most of the day. We then left at 4pm to catch a ferry and head back to our house in ...

Buck and YCN Studio create an incredibly powerful animated film for Childline
Creating a piece of animation designed to deal with the horrifying realities of child abuse is a pretty tall order, particularly when it's for ChildLine and the people you're attempting to communicate with are all under the age of 19. How does one go about discussing these delicate issues without intimidating your target audience and creating something that's all-too harrowing for television? Buck and YCN Studio have recently come up with an incredibly effective solution, producing a four-minute film that gently but assertively discusses the issues facing victims of sexual abuse.
The film avoids the use of any shocking imagery – the likes of which, it seems, we've become numb to over the years – and created an abstract animation that intersperses scenes of solitary characters going about their days while a discussion between a ChildLine counsellor and one of their charges plays out in hand-rendered type. The contents of the discussion is no less powerful for the lack of sensationalist imagery and the message presented is abundantly clear; it's not your fault, you shouldn't have to do anything you're uncomfortable with and, most importantly, we're here to help.

The state of Tennessee has announced that five death row prisoners are scheduled to be executed this Wednesday, June 28th. Tennessee has carried out only one execution since 1960. We speak with the executive director of the Tennessee Coalition to Abolish State Killing. [includes rush transcript]
The state of Tennessee has announced that five death row prisoners are scheduled to be executed this Wednesday, June 28th.
The announcement has come as a shock to some in the state which has carried out only one execution since 1960. Scheduled to die are Sedley Alley, Paul Dennis Reid, Charles Rice, David Ivy, and William Glenn Rogers.
Legal experts are predicting that three of the men–Rice, Ivy and Rogers–will not be executed on Wednesday because they still have state and federal appeals available to them.
However that is not true for Sedley Alley or Paul Dennis Reid.
Last week, however, the Innocence Project filed a brief on behalf of Sedley Alley. The New York-based legal group argued that he should not be executed until he is given access to post-conviction DNA evidence that could prove his innocence.
Alley was originally scheduled to be executed last month. But Tennessee's governor granted him a 15-day reprieve just eight hours before he was scheduled to die.
- Randy Tatel, Executive Director of the Tennessee Coalition to Abolish State Killing.
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
AMY GOODMAN: Randy Tatel is joining us now from Nashville, Tennessee, Executive Director of the Tennessee Coalition Against State Killing. Welcome to Democracy Now!, Randy.
RANDY TATEL: Good morning, Amy. Greetings from Music City, U.S.A.
AMY GOODMAN: It's good to have you with us. Can you talk about these cases? First of all, first it was five?
RANDY TATEL: Right, the last three gentlemen that you mentioned have what we refer to as automatic dates that we never consider to be real dates. When an inmate transfers from one level of appeals to the next, and in this case, for them it was from direct appeals to state post-conviction, the state automatically sets an execution date. And once the papers are filed from the inmate's lawyers requesting to continue with the appeals, then those dates disappear. And in these three cases, those are simply either computer-generated or automatically generated dates. We never consider those to be real dates. However, as you mentioned up front, that the dates for Sedley Alley and Paul Dennis Reid next Wednesday are considered very real.
AMY GOODMAN: Can you talk about the case that the Innocence Project has taken on?
RANDY TATEL: The Innocence Project came in on Sedley Alley's case. And as you mentioned, again, the state has physical evidence that has never been DNA-tested, and Alley's federal attorneys are saying that the testing of this evidence could actually prove his innocence. That's what they're claiming. And, of course, Berry Scheck and the Innocence Project came in on this. The state has taken what we think is an awkward position to hold, in that, why would you want to withhold evidence that could reveal the truth? Isn't that what justice is supposed to be about? If there is evidence, and we know the power that DNA evidence testing has to either convict or to exonerate someone, why don't the state officials want to have certainty in this case? It's a question that many of us are asking right now.
AMY GOODMAN: Can you talk a little more about Tennessee and the attitude of Tennesseans to the death penalty?
RANDY TATEL: Well, sure. Tennessee has had only one execution since 1960, and that was in April of 2000. And as it turns out, Robert Glen Coe, who was executed then by lethal injection, was a severely mentally ill individual who was taking over 20 medications at the time of his execution to manage his multiple diagnosed mental illnesses. So that's one execution in over 16,000 days here in Tennessee. And now suddenly we're faced with having two executions on the same night. But Tennessee is an anomaly here in the former Confederate states, insofar as it has had so few executions during that time period. I believe more than 85% of the executions that have taken place since the reinstatement of the death penalty have taken place here in the former Confederate states, yet we've only had the one execution, and so we're often asked why do we think that's the case.
And there are a couple of reasons, I think, for that. One is that up until the current attorney general, whose name is Paul Summers, none of Tennessee's attorney generals since the reinstatement of the death penalty have held capital punishment as a valuable political tool and supported the use of capital punishment for political or other purposes. It was never a priority of their agendas during their general attorneyships. However, that's changed under Paul Summers, who's a very strong advocate of the death penalty and has sought, I believe, more than 20 execution dates since Robert Coe was executed in 2000, and all of them have been stayed to date.
And that brings me to the second reason that we think that we've had so few executions here, is that the lawyers that work in state post-conviction office and in the federal public defender's offices around the state are simply some of the finest capital attorneys in the country, and they have done outstanding work in advocating for their clients, and in the process, revealing many of the flaws that exist in the administration of capital punishment that Americans first came to know about through the actions of former Governor Ryan in Illinois back in 2000.
AMY GOODMAN: The defense lawyers have accused the Memphis judge of bias, for blocking DNA tests on the murder scene evidence, while the state told an appeals court that Sedley Alley is just trying to delay his execution. Can you talk about the judge and what's happening in the case?
RANDY TATEL: Well, I don't know about the judge, personally. It certainly appears that the judge was predisposed to deny releasing the evidence. And, in fact, we can step back just a step further. Governor Bredesen, as you mentioned, issued a temporary reprieve back in mid-May, when Sedley Alley was scheduled for execution, and he could have taken the step of actually mandating the release of that physical evidence for DNA testing.
Other governors around the country, including George Bush when he was governor in Texas and Jeb Bush, as governor in Florida, have actually taken the step of forcing the release of evidence for DNA testing in order to achieve clarity and certainty, in terms of the reliability of the conviction. And we certainly hoped that our governor would step up and do at least as well as the Bush brothers have done in this context, but he failed to do that.
So he sent it back to the courts, letting the courts make the determination as to whether or not they would release the evidence for testing. And this is the same judge that denied that request in 2004. So it certainly doesn't come as a surprise that he would again refuse to release the evidence for testing.
And the attorneys are currently going to the State Supreme Court here in Tennessee to appeal the denial of the criminal court of appeals, which ruled yesterday and upheld the ruling of Judge Hicks in Memphis on this matter. And if there's no relief to be found at the State Supreme Court level, then they will go directly to the U.S. Supreme Court on this matter.
But Sedley Alley's attorneys also have another track, which they are pursuing, which is challenge to the lethal injection protocol here in Tennessee. And as you may well know, the Supreme Court ruled last week in the case called Hill v. McDonough that defendants on death row do have the right to challenge lethal injection protocol in the federal courts, which is something that they previously could not do. And so, that's another avenue that Sedley Alley is pursuing in order to stop his execution.
AMY GOODMAN: Finally, Randy Tatel, perhaps one of the most famous Tennesseans, the former presidential candidate, Al Gore, former senator of your state, was for the death penalty, is that right?
RANDY TATEL: Yes. Certainly, Al Gore has, as most Southern politicians feel they need to do, has expressed support for the death penalty. I will point out that his daughter is a strong opponent to the death penalty and tried to give her father good counsel on that issue. But it's not surprising that a Southern politician, even at the national level, expresses support for the death penalty. And that's part of the culture that politicians still feel they have to be strong on crime, and part of the way that they demonstrate that is to express support for the death penalty.
But I think more and more, we're seeing that elected officials can step up to the plate and say that they are very strong on fairness in the administration of the criminal justice system, and in particular, when you are talking about the potential taking of a human life. And so, we believe that the environment and the ground is changing for politicians. And as organizers, it's our responsibility to demonstrate to politicians who are, as we all know, risk-adverse, that it's safe for them to begin to step away from their overt support for the death penalty.
AMY GOODMAN: Randy Tatel, I want to thank you very much for being with us, Executive Director of the Tennessee Coalition Against State Killing. Thanks so much for joining us from Nashville.

|Reviews for Harry Potter and The Acts of Betrayal
| Publicola chapter 13 . 8/30
I usually skim fics that I read, so when I originally saw this story I didn't catch a particular line that would have made me instantly close-box. Seriously, you have Harry call Ron "the brother he never had" and beg Arthur that "I don't want to kill my brother." After all that Hermione went through, after the mind-control potions are long since flushed from his system, what the hell?
You made this story take a terribly grimdark turn with potions and rape and MOB!Dumbledore and angsty indie!Harry out for revenge... but then you keep Harry's closeness with the Weasleys intact? Of all the things to keep unchanged, he doesn't consider that maybe the fact that the entire family is closely allied with the Headmaster and the youngest two children were responsibly for raping or conspiring to rape both he and his wife... Harry doesn't consider that maybe the parents of such a family might not be quite so worthy of his trust or respect?
And that's not even to mention that hilariously inadequate 'penalty' required of Tonks. She has to answer to the name she was born with? Oh, woe is her. You use as many waffle words as you can to get around the fact that what Tonks did by every conceivable standard was rape. Given that this was a sixteen-year-old boy who was drugged for months on end in order to be repeatedly sexually assaulted with penetration by a female police officer seven years his senior... your denying or whitewashing the fact that *this was rape* is pretty much exactly why there is a Men's Right Movement in the first place. Contemptible.
| H. Sanders chapter 20 . 8/27
I re-read this story again today. it has one of the most unique ways of defeating tom riddle that i have ever read. love almost everything that you have written, and look forward as always to anything new that you have to offer!
| Jen chapter 20 . 8/22
| Squarekiddo chapter 19 . 8/20
Oh yes, btw, You dont mention Daphne in the description, some people would not take kindly to such a surprise as polygamy, now lucky me I really like Daphne, but Im 1 person.
I thinking editing the description would help you quite a bit,
| Squarekiddo chapter 20 . 8/20
15 kids and counting in 19 years... dedication, all though I dont see the periods where she could possibly have lost the weight in between.
| Squarekiddo chapter 7 . 8/20
Yup, in fact in was so Sappy i skipped it XD
| Zyenna chapter 20 . 8/18
I like how you ended this story. It is a well thought out and well told story. Keep up the awesome work!
| Guest chapter 20 . 8/14
Incredibly entertaining, thanks for this very smart story
| loleo chapter 20 . 8/10
In the story end only felt one LAST sentence: "And he is. He enjoys his life as our husband and stay at home Dad as much as Daphne and I do in our jobs in the ministry."
I think, that would be the really best end for THIS Harry Potter in THIS story.
| allenx14 chapter 20 . 8/6
Awww adorable
| MartinDeShade chapter 7 . 8/5
I just don't see it. They are going back? Why? Tell Luna and Neville to leave the country and then don't look back. They have no allies in government and they don't need the education of Hogwarts. The only thing to go back to is kill a boat load of people, but they don't have the training or experience to pull it off.
| protective-kitsune chapter 20 . 7/28
This was a really good story!
| Karatekid-Ninja chapter 20 . 7/27
I really enjoyed this story, I thought the plot was good, my only problem was that it didn't mention in the synopsis that it was a H/Hr/DG story... While I don't normally read threesome stories or multi partner stories, this was pretty good.
| Fast Frank chapter 19 . 7/21
Posthumus Order of Merlin for Ron?
| DragonTamer01 chapter 19 . 7/23
Mrs. Finch-Fletchly, if you want to discover what magic is made of, I'd HIGHLY recommend you take a trip to the various island chains in the Pacific Ocean and learn about the concept of Mana. I'm convinced that that would be the PERFECT place for you to start.

Multifaceted Virtual Assistant. Business support branch
Sweden - Tests: 17 - Portfolio: 4
My previous line of work led to the start of a VA business. My goal is to work with what I like and keep up the trend of various tasks. The rate described is my lowest rate, which I usually apply because I sometimes like to do assignments to keep my skills at a recent level, and then that rate apply. On the other hand could other duties require a higher rate. My VA role is one of the multi-skilled, or multifaceted as I use for marketing since I've learned a lot of different skills during the positions I held. I'm very service minded, as I started out as a cashier and office girl and had the privilege to work with people with genuine feeling for service. I find it likable and I also think it makes sense to keep a service minded attitude towards customers. If you see someone without a smile - give them one of your kind of recaps what service is. Additionally to the service offered in the line of work, that is. Later on I've for several years each, held positions as sales secretary, school secretary, administrative consultant, application specialist and web/system developer. Besides having extensive work experience, the studying of sociology, psychology and computer science at an academic level constitutes useful knowledge. Still today I feel at home in almost any constellation of work, I like to do repetitive tasks from time to time, and challenging tasks from time to time. Work satisfaction is important to me, and it means delivering good results, to be of benefit to the receiver. For myself the help and learn part goes a long way. One other thing to mention is that I learned to type at an early age. That skill has been both useful and fun during the years. Besides skills in service and typing, I'm interested in languages, both human and computer. Regarding human language, I write with a fine imagination, do my research and have a splendid vocabulary. Regarding computers, I like to make life easier for end users, and I also focus on usability. Regarding both languages, I also like to enhance the experience for the reader/user. Oh, I nearly forgot (if you're still reading this short essay that is), I also do some graphic designs from time to time. Web design, Logo designs, Business Cards, Newsletter, formatting in Word, layouts in PowerPoint and so on! We need beautiful things! Cheers!

Mathematician, Programmer and Translator
Germany - Tests: 18 - Portfolio: 5
I just finished my studies of mathematics with focus on physics and computer sciences in Iceland. Next to my studies, I have been programming already for several years on a freelance basis and provide professional translation services. The programs that I created so far mostly are GUI applications under Windows, as well as web-based applications using PHP and javascript. In addition to these experiences, I have also intensive knowledge of C/C++, Matlab, R, and various other programming languages. You can see some of my programs in my portfolio and on my website.

I have lived abroad for more than three years now, and therefore know a couple of other languages as well. These include French, Icelandic, Swedish, Dutch and Bulgarian. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best wishes, Tom Schiller

Recent Ocean City reviews
"My husband, adult children and grandchildren just stayed here last week. (June 14 - 19, 2015. I couldn't wait to write a review, because it is so much fun to report on something so fabulous! We stayed on the floor right above the garages, it sleeps 14 and is very very spacious. We loved the layout, especially the wide open kitchen/living area. It is decorated beautifully, the kitchen had everything we needed, although we never turned on the stove!!! We took food for breakfast and lunch, and ate supper on the boardwalk, which is very close. It is a great location if you love the activity of the boardwalk, which we did. We used the towel service that Barry recommended and had great service from them. Not too expensive either. We can't give Barry and his wife (who we unfortunately didn't get to meet) kudos for a place that is perfect. Really. It is!"Guest: alaska grandma Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 22, 2015View listing
"My family (two boys, pregnant wife, and me) enjoyed the close proximity to both the beach and the boardwalk. For the rental price, the accommodations were about what we expected. Nothing fancy, just an old-school, down-the-shore weekly rental. After a while, its "charm" kind of reminded me of my childhood shore experiences."Guest: ERIC G. Date of Stay: August 2015 Review Submitted: August 21, 2015View listing
"We just spent a week at this property (4 adults, a 4.5 year old, and a 6-month old) and it was fabulous. The location is perfect. It's a short walk to the 26th St beach (which has a lifeguard station), which makes it easy to go back and forth as necessary - crucial when you have small children. It's a long walk to the boardwalk, but we found it easy to drive when we wanted to go in the afternoons, and I understand that there is also a trolley that will run you there, although we didn't use it. The property is walking distance to Uncle Bill's Pancake House and Betty's Ice Cream Shack (very important). The condo is very comfortable and was very clean. The bedrooms are down a hallway and a little away from the living space, which is also great with small kids who go to bed early. The kitchen is basically equipped, but it sufficed (we cooked all our dinners in the unit). There's not a lot of storage space (cabinets) for your food, but I can't say that it mattered much. The house has beach chairs, boogie boards, and some toys for the beach as well. The owners are a total pleasure to work with as well. Overall, this was a fantastic rental (and we rent a lot from VRBO in many different locations)."Guest: Liz Date of Stay: August 2015 Review Submitted: August 10, 2015View listing
"This is a great house for large family stays in Ocean City. In our case, 2 families with adult children (10 of us total). Lots of space in the living room and dining room for everyone to gather... we like to eat bushels of crabs together. Bedrooms come in single, double, queens and even a room with 2 bunk beds for cousins to hang out and sleep together. Cable TV in most rooms, though we did not watch much. All rooms had AC window units (not central air) which was more then adequate to cool the place even when it hit 95 one day. Kitchen is fully stocked, we filled the fridge a couple of times and ate most of our meals in the house. Of course we had our late night pizza slice runs on the boardwalk. There is only 1 inside shower on the 2nd floor and a tub on the 3rd floor, but we all managed no issues. There is an outside unenclosed shower (hot and cold) which we used as well. Location is ideal right on 10th street, 1 block from the boardwalk and right in the middle of all the action. This is great when you are coming back late night after walking around a few hours. We had bikes and were able to hit the grocery store easily in a few blocks... didn't need to get in the car the entire week. Parking for 4 cars in the driveway is a bonus. Keep in mind that most of OC is metered parking now so this driveway parking is very convenient. There are fewer and fewer of these single family homes available in OC, they are getting knocked down for multi-level condos. Nothing like the architecture and feel in these old places, hope this one is around next year for us and others to enjoy."Guest: Mike Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: August 8, 2015View listing

Music Gear News
Research assesses how musical instrument players hear sound differently
The research, which is taking place at Birkbeck, University of London, will involve violin players and non violin players attending listening sessions and having an MRI scan in an attempt to show how the two groups hear things differently.
It is thought that the MRI scan will show up some physical differences in the participants' brains.
One participant in the study, 19-year-old Alice Didlick, who plays for the Ray of Light Orchestra in London, told the Kidderminster Shuttle that she is really looking forward to the research.
"I'm really looking forward to taking part in the study as it's not an everyday opportunity for someone who lives in Cookley," she said.
"I'm a bit nervous about the MRI Scan, that seems slightly daunting but overall I'm excited," she added.
This is not the first study to assess the differences between musicians and non musicians, with previous research showing that there are structural brain differences.
