Reduce Your Risk of a Bear Encounter
Be Alert
See the bear before you surprise it. Watch for fresh tracks, scat, and feeding sites (diggings, rolled rocks, torn up logs, ripped open ant hills).
Don't Hike Alone
Hike in groups of three or more people. 91% of the people injured by bears in Yellowstone since 1970 were hiking alone or with only one hiking partner. Only 9% of the people injured by bears were in groups of three or more people.
Don't Hike at Dawn, Dusk, or at Night
Avoid hiking at dawn, dusk, or at night: during summer, that's when grizzly bears are most active.
Make Noise
When hiking, periodically yell "Hey Bear!" to alert bears to your presence, especially when walking through dense vegetation or blind spots, or traveling upwind, near loud streams, or on windy days. Avoid thick brush whenever possible.
Don't Expect Bears to Notice You First
In Yellowstone, bears hibernate for approximately five months each year and have only seven months of active time to obtain all of their nutritional needs. Therefore a bear with its head down feeding may not see you as quickly as you would think. Pay attention, and see the bear before it sees you...and before you surprise it.
Avoid Carcasses
Bears will guard and defend carcasses against other scavengers or humans. Dead ungulates will attract and hold many bears near the carcass site. It is risky to approach a carcass; many bears may be bedded nearby just out of sight. If you find a fresh carcass, leave the area immediately by the same route you approached. Report all carcasses to the nearest ranger station or visitor center.
Stay With Your Stuff
Don't leave packs, lunches, food, or beverages unattended as they may attract bears.

In genetic or nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) vaccination, antigenic information is delivered by in vivo expression of antigen from inoculated vector DNA (or RNA). Combining different antigen-encoding sequences, modifying their sequence and/or codelivering them with sequences encoding immune-stimulating factors (readily achieved through recombinant DNA technologies) strikingly enhances and modulates the immunogenicity of genetic vaccines and extends the repertoire of epitopes to which different compartments of the adaptive immune system can be specifically primed. Large-scale production of DNA vaccines, their formulation and alternative modes of delivery are currently optimized. Experimental DNA vaccines have demonstrated efficacy in priming antibody and/or cellular immune responses that protect against a variety of pathogens or transplantable tumors in animal models. Genetic vaccination has therefore become an unrivaled tool in preclinical research. Although highly attractive in principle, the practical development of DNA vaccination for clinical applications is at an early and experimental stage, and will have to resolve different issues before entering widespread use.

In October 2016, Luke Bryan is set to launch his eighth farm tour. Kicking off on October 5 at Culler Farms in Gaston, SC, the 10-day trek will stop at farms throughout the South and Midwest. Other stops include Maple Lane Farms in Greenback, TN, F T Farms in Batesville, MS, and Mid America Motorworks in Effingham, IL. Get your Luke Bryan "Farm Tour 2016" tickets before they're gone!
Although Luke Bryan toured for the majority of 2015, the country superstar hit the road again this past February. In support of his latest album, Kill the Lights, the tour is appropriately titled the "Kill the Lights Tour." During the long string of shows, Luke Bryan is joined by fellow country acts, Little Big Town and Dustin Lynch. Browse TicketNetwork.com today for your very own Luke Bryan tickets!
On June 30, 2015 the star announced his seventh Farm Tour of his career, which sees the country megastar perform at farm venues across the South and Midwest, including stops in Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and more. Despite the weather, fans have been enjoying the unique performances. Seeing today's king of country in such a country setting is quite an experience and tickets for his latest Farm Tour sold out fast. Officially known as the "Bayer Presents Luke Bryan Farm Tour 2015," he was joined on stage by Sam Hunt, the Peach Pickers, Chris Janson, Chancie Neal, and DJ Rock.
Luke was born Thomas Luther Bryan on July 17, 1976 in the rural town of Leesberg, Georgia. He was born the youngest of three siblings to parents Tommy and LeClaire. His talent surfaced early, and less than a year after receiving his first guitar at age 14, he was playing with local bands at a country music club in town. He soon began writing his own songs and made plans to move to Nashville after high school in hopes of growing his talent and continuing his early success, some day hoping a Luke Bryan ticket would be something fans sought after. Tragically, however, his brother passed away in a car accident as he was going to leave. To offer support to his family, he opted to stay close to home and attend Georgia Southern University, but he did not give up on his country music dream. Not long after graduating from college, he began working for his father and the family business. Not long after, his father, not wanting to see his son give up on his dream, fired his son and told him to move to Nashville to pursue his dreams of country music stardom.
Once in Nashville, he worked during the day and played at local clubs whenever he could. During one of his performances, a representative from Capitol Records saw him and gave him a contract. During this time, he began working with, and writing songs for, Travis Tritt and Billy Currington as he worked on his debut album, I'll Stay Me, which was released in 2007. He wrote or co-wrote a majority of the songs on his album with the single "Country Man" making it to number 10 on the charts and "We Rode in Trucks" making it to number 33. Multiple Luke Bryan albums have followed, including Doin' My Thing in 2009, Tailgates & Tanlines in 2011, and Crash My Party in 2013. Many of these albums included chart topping originals, including "Rain is a Good Thing" and "Someone Else Calling You Baby" from Doin' My Thing as well as "Country Girl (Shake it for Me)" from Tailgates & Tanlines, and "Crash My Party" from Crash My Party. Bryan has released a series of spring break themed EP's as well, resulting in his 2013 compilation album, Spring Break… Here to Party. Playing to the college crowd has paid dividends for the star and has certainly helped move a number of Luke Bryan tickets for college kids looking to have some fun.
While the star has certainly won approval of country music fans, he has also been acclaimed by critics. He has also received multiple awards during his time in the spotlight, including "Top New Solo Vocalist" and "Top New Artist" at the Academy of Country Music Awards in 2010, a nine category sweep at the American Country Awards in 2012, and "Top Country Artist" and "Top Country Album" at the Billboard Music Awards in 2014.
Most recently, Bryan embarked on his "That's My Kind of Night Tour 2014" with fellow artists Lee Brice and Cole Swindell. He's followed that up with the "Farm Tour" with Sam Hunt, the Peach Pickers and more. It's been a wild few years for the kid from Georgia, and if he keeps rockin' like this, Luke Bryan tickets are going to be hot sellers for a while!

** NEW REDUCED PRICE **I bought this car 6 years ago from someone selling out a business and company cars. It was very lightly used when I bought it and has been an incredible car for me. I just moved into residence at BCIT and am moving to France next year so am looking to hand it over to its next happy owner. I've never had any big-ticket problems with it, a new battery and brakes are as extensive of aid as it's needed.There's a 2" dent on the passenger frame near the windshield; I slid into the back of a truck at about 10km/hr on black ice in Alberta last year. There is NO leakage through the windshield or any other issues that arose as a result of this accident. It's sealed off (as shown in the picture), and could easily be touched up with a bit of paint, I just never got to it. There are three small holes in the seat of the driver seat, these were here when I bought it. The windshield is new with no dents and the car has had a synthetic oil change every six months for the last six years. I've recently had arm bushing done and front brakes and pads, and speakers replaced. Back brakes will need replacing soon.The car currently has winter tires still on it with a very healthy tread left. I also have a set of all season's that I will hand over as well. However, these probably only have a year or two left in them.So what do you get?

The best NYC concerts in October 2016
We've narrowed down our list of the most exciting NYC concerts in October, from DJ Shadow to Sigur Ros
You can't fool yourself anymore: with September out of the picture, summer concerts in NYC are totally over. But even though summer music festival season might be up, the upcoming slew of stellar fall concerts in NYC means there's no reason for any concert-goer to fret. So bundle up in your sweater weather finest and head out to hear everything from big-name pop-stars to local indie-rock bands.
RECOMMENDED: Full guide to the best concerts in NYC
NYC concerts in October
Blood Orange
Formerly known as the man behind Lightspeed Champion, Devonté Hynes has risen to the status of omnitalented alt-pop visionary: producer to Sky Ferreira and Solange, Hollywood soundtracker (Palo Alto) and—working as Blood Orange—'80s-obsessed soul-pop mastermind. This year's Freetown Sound, Hynes's third record under that moniker, was a complex, swirling affair, an upbeat ode to dance one moment and a soul-searching dirge the next.Read more
Sigur Rós
Icelandic band Sigur Rós maintains a seemingly unpiercable facade beyond its remote native land—blame it on the combo's brainy, loose dreamscapes, which turned unexpectedly turbulent and aggressive on its most recent effort, Kveikur. The group pared down in recent years to a trio after the departure of keyboardist Kjartan "Kjarri" Sveinsson, but you can expect the trim lineup to craft an enormously expansive, otherwordly experience nonetheless.Read more
Descendents + Fucked Up
Born out of an L.A. punk scene that prized efficiency, the Descendents have been delivering 90-second fastballs of buzzed-up bubble gum off and on since the late '70s. The band went on several extended hiatuses in the '90s and aughts; its new, excellent LP, Hypercaffium Spazzinate, is just its third in three decades. The songs might be more mature, but they're still as fast and concise as ever.Read more
Drake + Future
Two of the most influential voices in rap right now grace the house that Billy Joel built—er, plays all the friggin' time—with this four-night stretch at Madison Square Garden. Expect to hear cuts from last year's team-up album, What a Time to be Alive (unavoidable viral hit "Jumpman" is a shoo-in), and plenty from Drake's latest LP, Views.Read more
After years of wayward traveling through dance music's many realms—IDM, deep house and so forth—Machinedrum's Travis Stewart settled into a distinctive niche of spastic vocal-sample–heavy UK bass music with 2011's Room(s). After a few EP's and a follow-up LP, Vapor City, he's refined that style with the addition of his own voice, famous drum-sample Amen breaks and acoustic guitar to make for a potent live set.Read more
DJ Shadow
DJ Shadow became an instant headphone hero in the '90s with his debut album, Endtroducing…, a stone-cold hip-hop classic that set off nearly two decades of a scene swamped with imitative efforts by fellow sample slayers and turntable terrors. The man himself will be rocking the decks tonight in Williamsburg, as he tours behind a new album, The Mountain Will Fall, which trades '90s turntable sounds for contemporary Ableton production.Read more
It's easy to see why Chvrches emerged as one of the most heavily hyped bands 0f 2013. The coed Scottish trio's swooning, Prince-meets–Kate Bush synth pop, captured on exquisite singles such as "The Mother We Share," is an irresistible sonic confection. Now the cosmic popsters land at Radio City Music Hall, in support of their sophomore 2015 album, Every Open Eye.Read more
Regina Spektor
Thanks to the ascent of ladies such as Ingrid Michaelson, Sara Bareilles and Christina Perri, the female quirk-pop field is a lot more crowded now than it was when Regina Spektor broke through with "Fidelity," her oft-licensed semihit, in 2006. Yet one needn't proceed too deeply into Spektor's latest to remember what an idiosyncratic talent she remains: On Remember Us to Life (released on September 30), the NYC songstress returns to form.Read more
Sia + Miguel + AlunaGeorge
Five-time Grammy-nominee Sia brings all her electro-pop dramatics to the Barclay Center with her "Nostalgic for the Present Tour." At 40 years old, Sia might seem like an unusual artist to dominate the charts, but her powerhouse vocals and aesthetic are not to be missed. Critically acclaimed R&B artist Miguel and electronic duo AlunaGeorge join as the special guests.Read more

I went for a visit to Nile Wellness Center on the recommendation of a friend. The inside of the building is nice. From start to finish the atmosphere was great and the staff made me feel very comfortable and welcomed. They are clean, which is a VERY big deal to me-even offered me a pair to keep my feet warm during the process since I wore sandals to my visit. The atmosphere was very zen with candle, low-lighting and meditation music during my colonic process. It was relaxing and comforting. Process went smoothly. They were very professional during my visit and as well as hospitable offering drinks and snacks. It was nice. I was so impressed that I went ahead and gave the HCG a try! I was also pleased with that result as well resulting in a 30 pound weight lose. I recieved encouraging texts and guidance throughout the process. I also felt very comfortable with them as they answered all questions and laid all of my skeptism to rest. Thank you! I would recommend Nile Wellness and I also look forward to another visit.

About Me
Alison here. American native, currently studying in Hamburg, Germany. I fell in love with international travel during a high school exchange program in 2009 and have been jumping at every chance to go to Europe I get. I like yoga, gardening, aged cheeses, cycling, chocolate, and vegetarianism. When I'm traveling I like to have a good mixture of spending time with friends (new or old), sightseeing or going to museums or events, and cozy evenings spent in bars and cafes, writing in my journal or having deep conversations with friends. Oh, and the occasional crazy party night going out dancing ;-) My travel blog is http://followingthewanderlust.com/
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is a great way to meet people, make friends, and see aspects of a city you wouldn't otherwise see. Oh, and saving money's nice, too!
I love international travel - it's a great experience to learn about other people and cultures. Summers, when I have free time, I enjoy reading, writing, hiking, gardening, spending time outdoors and spending time with friends. I like figuring out how to play songs I know on the guitar. I also play piano and pipe organ. My current goal: I want to be a foreign correspondent for the Washington Post living in Berlin, writing for blogs and magazines like iHeartBerlin and The ExBerliner and TAZ, and dancing burlesque on the side (: It's a lofty goal I know, but I get a little bit closer every year!

Man's inhumanity to man never ends, as history repeats itself
Published 12/09/2015 | 02:30
Given the dreadful news cycle, one would be forgiven for thinking the world is falling apart. We have been here before. TS Eliot began his dark masterpiece, 'The Waste Land', in 1919 after the horrors of World War I, depicting a world on the edge of ruin.
Bob Dylan took up the theme some 40 years later with songs such as 'Desolation Row' and 'A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall', the latter seen by many as the view of the world following a nuclear war.
Later on, the Los Angeles-based poet Charles Bukowski wrote about a world in chaos in his poem 'Dinosauria, We'. Human history seems to have one constant - its ability to repeat the horrors of war by even greater horrors touched on by Leonard Cohen in his song 'Anthem': "Bought and sold and bought again the dove is never free".
It has been said that war is politics with guns, and politics is war without guns. We are given to believe that, as each generation progresses, it gets more intelligent, more civilised and more rational. Yet, despite all the progress, the capacity to inflict violence - man's inhumanity to man - never diminishes. The causes of war are many and complex.
Once one war ends, another erupts. The guns never rust, the blade never grows blunt. The 24-hour news cycle seems to ratchet up this notion of a world in turmoil, yet what is going on is merely repetition, a never-ending sequel. If there is hope, perhaps it lies in the fact that humanity is still appalled by a three-year-old boy being washed up dead on a shore.
The day mankind becomes immune to such images is the day that Eliot's poem will come to pass.

Rural Ireland living in fear
In rural Ireland today, nobody is interested in the real issues that are affecting people's lives. It is indeed hard to understand why people in authority are ignoring the issues rural Ireland is facing on many fronts - jobs, education, lack of transport, paying like fools for our water. We are being left behind by policies that are killing off the structure of post offices and schools, the non-viability of co-operatives, shops, pubs and filling stations. But the issue highlighted by reports in your paper by journalist Paul Williams (Irish Independent, September 8) is perhaps the most pressing - that of the security of rural people.
We are watching the structures disappearing. But to leave people vulnerable and ill at ease is causing major problems.
Rural Ireland is now been watched over by a very depleted and under-manned security presence. The Garda station structure has been uncoupled for a few euro, with premises that were once the centre of local security being sold. Mr Williams, a most courageous writer, has captured the issues and the lack of central Government commitment - the last government unfortunately initiated this process, with this one has completing it.
At least we can look forward now to more immigration, which will look very well with the powers in Europe. Meanwhile, the ordinary rural resident is vulnerable to all.

Politicians at fault in the North
I was just reading the piece written by Mark O'Regan (Irish Independent, September 10), where he stated that gardaí believe an IRA gang was planning to derail the Northern Ireland peace process. How that IRA gang and all those who wanted the peace process to fail must be laughing now.
Had unionist and other politicians any real interest in maintaining democracy, equality and a progressive future, they would not have allowed these acts of violence to derail the whole democratic process.
The IRA, UDA, UVF, UFF and all the various paramilitary organisations still exist in some form - but they are no longer a threat to the political process unless the politicians give them that power by strutting out of the Assembly and bringing down power sharing.
Politicians need to recognise the difference between criminals who were once members of paramilitaries - and are using that fact to progress criminality - and the fact that, as stated by the PSNI chief constable, the IRA is no longer a threat to the peace process. There are also criminals operating under the name of various loyalist paramilitary organisations, yet there is no outcry about this.
It is essential that politics works, because if it doesn't, violence could return to the streets of Northern Ireland in the void left, and those who collapsed the political process will have to shoulder the blame.
"The difference between a politician and a statesman is that a politician thinks of the next election and a statesman thinks of the next generation," theologian and author James Freeman Clarke said.
We could do with a few more statesmen to look to the future and fewer politicians who are just looking for power and the next vote, regardless of the price to be paid.

Rugby World Cup hits sour note
I'd sing 'Amhrán na bhFiann' at the start of the All-Ireland hurling final.
A brother of mine once described it as the greatest moment of the year. It encapsulates our love and pride in our country, our Gaelic heritage, our native games and unique culture and, indeed, ourselves as a nation.
On September 19, a team wearing green jerseys to represent Ireland will play their first match in this year's Rugby World Cup championship being held in England.
Unlike all the other 19 teams representing their countries, because of the prejudices of a minority, this team will not have a national anthem or flag.
By contrast with their counterparts in the GAA, who play for love of parish and county, these men are paid professionals. They are employees of the IRFU.
If the IRFU told them that, if they could not accept our national anthem and flag, they could find jobs elsewhere, I wonder how many would be willing to give up a well- paid job for their 'principles'?

Stop playing the blame game
There are many Irish sports and social activities but there's one that has endured longer than all the others. Before Cú Chulainn ever hit a sliothair, we had perfected it.
And it was well before the 'garrison games', in the form of soccer, rugby and cricket, came to our shores. The game at which we so excelled was the 'blame game'.
It is being played today in the North. Sadly, no one ever wins.

Small schools stymie the big schools in EOBL All-Star Game
CADIZ – The damp and chilly conditions Monday afternoon certainly aided the pitching in the annual Kyle Rose EOBL All-Star Classic.
Neither the big nor the smal schools pounded the cover off the ball during the game held at Robert Mazeroski Field.
The small schools, however, took advantage of three errors and got five base hits en route toa 3-0 victory before a large Memorial Day turnout.
A trio of small-school pitchers – Cody Caldwell and Chad Isaly of River along with Linsly's Momo Felt – teamed to limit the big school offense to just two hits. They also fanned nine hitters in the game.
Caldwell was the game's starter and earned the win. All told, the big schools threatened just twice in the game.
They loaded the bases in the top of the fourth and had a runner advance to third in the fifth, but Felt induced a comebacker to keep the shutout in tact.
As it turned out, the small school's offense wasn't much more productive, but it was opportunistic, especially in the first inning.
Isaly led off the bottom of the first with a single. Barnesville's Dylan MacMillan legged out an infield hit and both runners took an extra base when the throw to first was air mailed down the right-field line.
The second error of the inning on the infield allowed both Isaly and MacMillan to score easily on a ball hit by Bridgeport's Jonathan Kreiter.
The game remained 2-0 until the fourth when Linsly's Justin Lee reached on a two-base error. He moved up 90 feet on a wild pitch and was then driven in on a single by River's Kam Brown.
Barnesville's Colton Pritchard also had two hits in the game.
Union Local's Austin Curry had the lone extra base hit in the game when he roped a double to leftcenter. Shadyside's Chase Kinemond had the other hit for the big-school squad.
Game Notes
THE REPRESENTATIVES of the host Huskies attended the game, but watched from the dugout since they'll be taking part in the Division II regional tournament this Thursday in Zanesville. Harrison Central will tangle with Vincent Warren at 2 p.m. at Gant Municipal Stadium.
BECAUSE OF a shortage of players, the big school team acquired the Shadyside representatives – Kinemond, Jared Brooks and Cody Hudson – to play on its side of the matter.
