Important Notes
The trekking on this trip is not all that challenging by itself. The hiking days themselves are between 4-6 hours a day, and the highest altitude reached is 1,200 m (3,937 ft) at the Lost City itself. However, what can make this a challenge is the humidity and the heat. Throughout the year the temperature is generally between 35-45 degrees, and there can be heavy rain and muddy conditions.
Along the trek, you will be required to carry your own gear. We recommend not carrying more than is necessary for the route. One or two changes of clothes is enough to give you a change for each day on the trek. Remember, while on trek, it's not a beauty contest, comfort is more important. You will need space for clothes, water bottles and anything specific that you think you should take with you – mosquito repellent, towel, waterproofs. So, please bring a bag that is sufficient in size to carry what you might need. If you are struggling with the amount of gear that you are carrying, it is possible to hire a mule to carry equipment for the trek, at a cost of 25USD per day.
As with any activity, the best clothing to wear while trekking is quick drying, lightweight gear. Ideally, this should be synthetic or wool. In hotter climates, synthetic clothing or merino wool are the best options. While trekking, the best suggestion is to layer clothing, so that it is easier to regulate temperatures and manage with the changeable climate.
A good level of fitness is required to enjoy this trek, and preparation for the humid conditions is essential. For the most part, the trail is well-maintained and an easy route to follow, although the terrain can vary throughout the year. In the dry season (December – March), the trail can be dry and dusty. When the rains arrive (April – November), the trail can be muddy and slippery underfoot. This also affects the numerous river crossings, as the rainy season brings higher rivers. This can mean that river crossings can be as high as waist height, so we recommend that you bring a dry bag or a plastic bag to cover your daypack as you might need to carry this above your head to keep it out of the river. The Buritaca River criss-crosses the route along the Lost City Trek. At times there will be the need to cross this. This can be over bridges, across rocks, or even on foot. The river also serves as an opportunity for swimming along the way.
As the majority of this trek is through the jungle, please be aware of the presence of mosquitos and other bugs. We highly recommend bringing some form of insect repellent. While the campsites have mosquito nets over the beds and hammocks, mosquitos can be unavoidable at times. A sleep sheet can help to prevent bug bites at night as well.
Group Leader Description
All G Adventures group trips are accompanied by one of our group leaders, a G Adventures representative, or an expedition team. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting- we think it's the best of both worlds.
Group Size Notes
Max 16, avg 12
Eating is a big part of traveling. Travelling with G Adventures you experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available out in the world. Generally meals are not included in the trip price when there is a choice of eating options, to give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat. It also gives you more budgeting flexibility, though generally food is cheap. Our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There is no obligation to do this though. Your CEO will be able to suggest favourite restaurants during your trip. Please refer to the meals included and budget information for included meals and meal budgets.

What to Take
Most people automatically assume that the weather is hot in South America, but because of the higher altitude in the Andes, the temperature can feel quite cold, especially at night.
Remember that although near the Equator, the higher altitude on some parts of the trip make for cool evenings and you will need a warm sweater or pullover. It's best to layer clothes rather than bring a heavy parka so that you can take layers off.

All countries require a valid passport (with a minimum 6 months validity). Contact your local embassy, or consulate for the most up-to-date visa requirements, or see your travel agent. IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE THE CORRECT TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION.
PLEASE NOTE – Canadian citizens must pay a reciprocity fee of 160,000 Colombian Pesos (about 70USD) per person when entering a Colombia by air. This fee is valid for a single entry into the country.
It is payable by international credit card or CASH. If made in cash, the payment must be in Colombian pesos. A dedicated counter will be available to Canadian citizens who must pay the reciprocity fee before proceeding to immigration control.
Spending Money
Money Exchange
Credit cards and debit cards are very useful for cash advances. Visa cards are the most widely accepted cards. While ATMs are widely available, there are no guarantees that your credit or debit cards will actually work in Latin America. Check with your bank. You should be aware that to purchase products or services on a credit card a fee of 5%-10% usually applies. Do not rely on credit or debit cards as your only source of money. A combination of US dollar cash, travellers cheques and cards is best. Always take more rather than less, as you don't want to spoil the trip by constantly feeling short of funds.
CURRENCY EXCHANGE TIP: Please be advised that slightly torn notes, notes that have been heavily marked or are faded may be difficult to exchange. It is best to bring notes in fairly good condition, in denominations lower than 100USD (or equivalent).
Emergency Fund
Departure Tax
It is customary in Latin America to tip service providers such as waiters, at approximately 10%, depending on the service. Tipping is an expected – though not compulsory – component of your tour program and an expression of satisfaction with the persons who have assisted you on your tour. Although it may not be customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels. There are several times during the trip where there is opportunity to tip the local guides or drivers we use. Recommendations for tipping drivers and local guides would range from $5-10 USD per day depending on the quality and length of the service; ask your CEO for specific recommendations based on the circumstances and culture.
Also at the end of each trip if you felt your G Adventures Chief Experience Officer (CEO) did an outstanding job, tipping is appreciated. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however as a guideline $20-25 USD per person, per week can be used.

Historical Perspectives
Peres undergoes surgery after discovering hernia (JERUSALEM POST) By GREER FAY CASHMAN 05/11/12)
Source: http://www.jpost.com/NationalNews/Article.aspx?id=269602
JERUSALEM POST Articles-Index-Top
President Shimon Peres was scheduled to present the Wolf Prizes at the Knesset on Sunday, but following surgery on his return to Israel on Friday, it is unlikely that he will be considered sufficiently fit to attend the event.
It is a tradition for the President of the State to present the Wolf Prize laureates with their awards.
During his state visit to Canada last week, Peres complained of stomach pains and was diagnosed with a hernia. Peres was treated by his personal physicians Prof. Rafi Walden who also happens to be his son-in-law, and because his condition was not considered to be sufficiently serious to warrant cutting short his schedule, he continued with all the events on his itinerary as if nothing were amiss.
On his return to Israel, Peres underwent a successful operation at Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer.
Peres is expected to be released from hospital some time on Sunday.
Although Peres is a quick healer who in the past has stayed away from his duties for only a day or two in deference to his health, it is unlikely that he will attend the Wolf Prize ceremony on Sunday evening.
According to law, when the president is out of the country or in any way incapacitated, the Knesset speaker takes over the presidential duties.
Next to the Israel Prize, which with extremely rare exceptions is awarded only to Israelis, the Wolf Prize is Israel´s highest form of recognition - albeit not monetarily. From a monetary perspective the Dan David Prize of $1 million is worth considerably more than the $100,000 given to Wolf Prize recipients and like the Wolf Prize is awarded to both Israelis and non-Israelis.
Inaugurated in 1978, the Wolf Prize is awarded annually by the Wolf Foundation that was established in 1975 by Dr. Ricardo Wolf, a German- born inventor and a former ambassador of Cuba to Israel. It is awarded in the categories of Agriculture , Chemistry, Mathematics, Medicine and Physics to outstanding scientists for their unique contribution in the interest of mankind and brotherhood among nations, irrespective of nationality, race, color, religion, sex, or political views.
There is also an arts prize that rotates between the fields of architecture, music, painting and sculpture. This year´s arts prize is in the sphere of music, and although the winners, internationally acclaimed tenor Placido Domingo (whose career started in Israel) and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra conductor Sir Simon Rattle, will have their names announced they will not receive their awards till next year. More than a third of the recipients of Wolf Prizes have subsequently been awarded Nobel Prizes. The Wolf Prizes bring great honor to the State of Israel said Education Minister Gideon Saar, who will be among the dignitaries sharing the dais with Peres.
This year´s laureates are: Professor Jacob D. Bekenstein, Racah Institute of Physics, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Physics; Ronald M. Evans, Gene Expression Laboratory, the Salk Institute, La Jolla, Calidfornia, Medicine: Professor Paul Alivisatos, University of California at Berkeley, and Prof. Charles M. Lieber, Harvard University, Chemistry; Professor Michael Aschbacher, California Institute of Technology and Luis Cafferelli, University of Texas, Mathematics.

Private security measurements
If I could earn a living doing what I loved the most it would be private security enforcement. I believe that there is a great need for the field because the amount of public figures in varied arenas with millions of dollars that encounter dangerous situations on a daily basis, either by incident or accident. My vision is to create a company that carters to the security needs of these wealthy individuals. This company will provide trained security personnel whose specific purpose is to protect these individual from dangers against them but also to protect them from endangering themselves. I believe that ultimately this will lessen the amount of criminal cases involving celebrities, and professional athletes. If these individuals have trained security that will remain impartial and prevent them from engaging in activity that will be criminal and dangerous that is not only good for that person but also for the cities they reside. The goal here is stop criminal activity where they individuals are largely active. I also believe that with a strong promotion this will prevent these individuals from hiring family and friends with criminal ties and lesson the amount of criminal activity they are subject to encounter. Ultimately the goal in this aspect, is to prevent celebrities, athletes and entertainers, from placing individuals who are apt to commit crimes in situations where lifestyles dictate the need for action and they are likely to act in a manner that is danger and more importantly illegal.

Power On - Energy from Waste
Jon Hughes and Mark Anslow
1st November, 2007Each year, UK livestock produce some 60 million tonnes of collectable faeces. If left to run into water-courses or even spread on fields, this waste can lead to the same problems associated with excessive fertiliser use – algal blooms and aquatic life starved of oxygen. more...
Power On - Hydrogen
Jon Hughes and Mark Anslow
1st November, 2007There is much talk of the possibility of a future 'hydrogen economy', which will power all our vehicles and homes. It is important to remember that hydrogen is not an energy source; it is an energy carrier. To obtain hydrogen it must be split from either natural gas or water molecules. The former, most widely used, method not only requires energy but also gives off carbon dioxide (CO2) in the process. Hydrogen produced in this way requires more energy to make than will eventually be returned when it is used. It makes more sense from a climate perspective to burn the natural gas itself than to convert and re-convert it to hydrogen in this way. more...
Power On - Wind
Jon Hughes and Mark Anslow
1st November, 2007The UK has been described as the 'Saudi Arabia' of wind, with some 50 TWh of onshore and at least 450 TWh of offshore power available every year, well in excess of our current electricity demand. more...

Power On - Solar Power
Jon Hughes, Mark Anslow

Peter Capaldi's Doctor wonders if he's a good man in the 15-second snippet for the new season of the sci-fi series that will debut August 23.
BBC America has released a new teaser for "Doctor Who" season 8. Similar to the previously released teaser, the 15-second sneak-peek video has Peter Capaldi's Doctor in the TARDIS, but this time his face is seen toward the end of the video.
The new snippet is cryptic as the titular character asks his companion, Jenna Coleman's Clara Oswald, "Clara, be my pal, tell me, am I a good man?" She replies, "I don't think I know who the Doctor is anymore."
The new season of the British sci-fi series now has got a premiere date, which is Saturday, August 23, at 8 P.M. ET. Samuel Anderson is added to the cast to play a recurring role as Danny Pink, a teacher at Coal Hill Secondary School where Clara also teaches.
Capaldi and Coleman will visit New York on Thursday, August 14, as part of the inaugural Doctor Who World Tour to promote the show. The duo will also stop by Cardiff in Wales, London, Seoul, Sydney, Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro during the tour.

In a recent study on the quality of organic wheat vs. conventional wheat, Swiss and Austrian scientists tried something new: They asked a group of rats what they preferred.
Rats prefer biscuits made with organic wheat.
Photo by iStockphoto
Apparently Remy from the Disney movie Ratatouille isn't the only rat with a nose for chemical-free munchies. According to a recent article in The New York Times, Swiss and Austrian scientists offered 40 lab rats a choice between biscuits made with organically grown wheat and biscuits made with wheat that was grown through conventional methods. The rats showed a notable preference for the biscuits made with organic wheat. The experiment was part of a study on organic wheat production, and was intended as a supplemental, "integrative method" to measure the wheat's quality. If rats avoid food produced with synthetic chemicals, shouldn't we?

Germany Mulls Tax On Coal For Power Generation: Paper
Date: 12-Aug-10
Country: GERMANY
Author: Annika Breidthardt
Germany is mulling a new tax on coal used in power generation to help make up for revenue it would lose if it kept much-debated tax breaks for large corporate energy consumers, a newspaper said on Wednesday.
The new tax, which would be footed by energy companies, would raise 410 million euros ($534 million) next year and 710 million euros in 2012, the Handelsblatt newspaper said in a preview of its Thursday edition.
It would be limited to two years at first, according to a draft law seen by the paper.
The Finance Ministry declined comment.
In July, the German government said it hoped to save 1 billion euros next year and 1.5 billion in 2012 by reducing tax breaks for large corporate energy consumers, according to a draft law.
But it came under heavy fire from industry as well as from within its own parties.
A new coal tax would reduce the amount the government needs to save by cutting tax breaks for large corporates.
"My initial reaction would be very negative as it puts another levy on the energy industry and on customers and would make Germany less efficient and competitive," Johannes Teyssen, chief executive of E.ON, the world's largest utility firm, said during a conference call.
Earlier, E.ON said Germany's proposed tax on nuclear plant operators would hit its profits, may weigh on its credit rating and would force it to cut investments.

Same Difference: Transdisciplinary Concepts and Skills in Artistic Practice to Minimise Communication Breakdown in Art Practice when Misusing a Common Language
Arthurs, Andrew C. (2006) Same Difference: Transdisciplinary Concepts and Skills in Artistic Practice to Minimise Communication Breakdown in Art Practice when Misusing a Common Language. Contemporary Music Review, 25(4), pp. 367-378.
Our ears are not isolated from our other senses, but work in conjunction with them to maximise our chance of survival and to make sense of our world. However, the growth of specialisation in artistic practice and theory means that disciplinary-specific practices have, over time, tended toward silos, isolating themselves from each other by their specialist training institutions, funding bodies and artistic and industrial practices. The advantage of separation was to enable the analysis of structures and form through particular lenses or frameworks, and to create highly specialised 'experts' in areas such as visual arts, dance, drama and music. This ensured high quality within that paradigm, but, in an era of convergence in which we now find ourselves, new phenomena arise, one being the transdisciplinary musician. For such an approach, fresh concepts emerge, and new skill-sets and techniques are needed. This article attempts to identify some of these.

VNC sends credentials in clear text over the wire much like FTP, or telnet, and some other basic protocols. We can create a secure shell tunnel to bind a local port to a remote port. In this case we will be binding
5901 locally with 5901 on our remote host. The VNC port number will change based on the screen so to speak, so it is possible to run more than one vnc session/screen, just use the corresponding port. To start another VNC server, just repeat the vncserver command.
Server side setup:
You'll need sshd and vnc started.
Create a password if you haven't already as ssh will not work without one. This should only apply to the LiveDVD.
I like to add ssh into the startup as I am running a hard drive install.Code:
root@bt:~# passwd
generate your keys if you have not already, then start your ssh daemonCode:
root@bt:~# update-rc.d ssh defaults
set your vnc password and start your VNC server.Code:
root@bt:~# sshd-generate
root@bt:~# /etc/init.d/ssh start
root@bt:~# vncpasswd
root@bt:~# vncserver
Viewer side steps:
Next, on the machine you will be viewing with, create a tunnel from your localhost port to remote host port and VNC in through the tunnel, The tunnel protects your credentials and session.
FYI the command with OpenSSH for windows is the same if you are wanting to view from a windows machine.Code:
root@bt:~# ssh -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5901 firstname.lastname@example.com
Now that you've got your tunnel created you will need to connect to VNC locally through said tunnel.
To VNC into your backtrack machine locally I like to use;(laptop in scenario below. Could even be a windows machine)
Then start whatever you need.Code:
root@bt:~#vncviewer 127.0.0.1:5901
Now here is where this might be useful.
Say for instance you have a backtrack laptop and a very powerful backtrack/server desktop running back in the office capable of using CUDA/pyrit, something that will take awhile. You've collected a WPA 4-way handshake for your current given pentest with your laptop. You create your ssh tunnel, you upload the handshake, start your VNC server on your CUDA/pyrit server, VNC in, start your pyrit crack in the 5901 VNC session on your cracking server, and go get some lunch. You can power down your laptop if you like, eat your sushi, power back on, tunnel up again, then go back to your VNC session to check your progess as everything in the VNC session on the cracking server will continue to run unless you stop said process or you killed your VNC server for that particular screen. Even if you have closed your SSH tunnel! A nice advantage of this is for over the internet connections is you would only need to forward your SSH port and not VNC.
EDIT: I've recorded a short video of establishing the connection once everything is set up. This is to demonstrate that your processes continue to run, and also to help fully illustrate what we are doing here to people struggling with the concept.
VNC through SSH tunnel Video
Pay attention to which hostnames certain commands are run on

Boscan pitches Indians into playoffs
Right-hander improves to 9-1 with division-clinching win
By John Torenli / MLB.com | August 29, 2008 10:03 PM ET
The 18-year-old right-hander responded to his first defeat of the season by tossing seven strong innings Friday night as the Spokane Indians clinched the Northwest League East Division title with a 4-1 victory over the Boise Hawks at Memorial Stadium.
Boscan (9-1), who was unbeaten in 13 appearances before Sunday's 5-2 loss at Tri-City, didn't blink at the pressure of pitching the Indians back into the playoffs after a seventh-place finish a season ago.
The 6-foot-2, 160-pound Venezuelan yielded a run on four hits with four strikeouts and did not issue a walk. He retired the final 10 batters he faced, getting Sean Hoorelbeke on an inning-ending groundout in the seventh to cap his performance.
"For an 18-year-old kid, he was unbelievable tonight," said Spokane manager Tim Hulett. "He was masterful. He competed really well, especially after his first loss."
Dustin Brader gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless eighth before Corey Young fanned two in the ninth for his sixth save as Spokane punched its first ticket to the postseason since winning the Northwest League title in 2005.
"At this level, every year is a new team," Hulett said. "The credit goes to our scouting department. They brought in a lot talented young guys, got them signed, and we developed a great team chemistry."
David Paisano went 3-for-4 and snapped a 1-1 tie with a three-run homer in the fifth as the Indians (48-23) won their fifth in a row and improved the league's best road mark to 26-10.
"There was a bit of relief [after Paisano's homer] because it gave us a lead," Hulett said. "But we don't panic too much around here because we're a very resilient team."
Boise's Christopher Carpenter (4-1) absorbed his first loss in nine outings, surrendering four runs on eight hits and a walk with three strikeouts over 4 2/3 frames.
Ryan Flaherty ripped an RBI single in the fourth for the second-place Hawks (41-30).

text: I've added a 10th argument to the TORQUE epilogue. This contains the exit status of the job. I've added this in 2.3-fixes and trunk, so it will be available for TORQUE 2.3.7 and greater. If there are objections to adding this new argument to 2.3, I'll pull it out of that branch and it can appear first in 2.4.0. It is such a minor enhancement and I don't think it will be a big deal unless someone is checking the number of arguments in their epilogue script for some reason, and in that case it would be an easy change for them when they upgrade.

This morning we received a request from a group of leading French Central Asia scholars to help publicize their message to the government of Tajikistan in support of imprisoned researcher Alexander Sodiqov. Alexander is a gifted scholar and has long been admired by everyone at Registan.net. We join thousands of other scholars and researchers to stand with Alexander and demand a quick resolution to this tragic situation.
See the full statement in English or in French.
The signatories of the present appeal would like to express their extreme anxiety about this set of facts potentially detrimental to the international prestige of Tajikistan, a country which stands out for almost two decades by the practice of a relative political pluralism and by the quality of its international cooperation, in the academic field notably, with France and the countries of the European Union.
In spite of the common benefits that have resulted from this cooperation, Mr Sodiqov's situation and the more minor incidents that have in the meantime opposed in the Roghun District the local police to international scholars could bring several French and European organisations to re-examine the terms and conditions of their multiple and active partnerships with Tajikistan.
We sincerely hope that a happy way out can soon be found by the political authorities of Tajikistan to this fatal situation, so that the French-Tajik and Euro-Tajik cooperation in human, political and social sciences can continue on constructive bases.
Please see the Free Alexander Sodiqov site for more information about what you or your organization can do to help.

Crystal Harris, Hugh Hefner Call Off Wedding?!
Updated after the jump: Hef squeezes out a sad, sad Tweet. (Breakup confirmed.)
Egads! Say it ain't so, TMZ: "Our sources -- who are all at the mansion -- say Crystal and Hef had a nasty argument this weekend on the phone. When the dust settled Crystal decided to 86 the nuptials and quickly moved her stuff out." So, this Saturday's wedding at the Playboy Mansion, with all its promised balloon boobs and grotto germs, is a no-go. (We can hear Holly Madison cackling from here.)
BTW: Knew there was something sneaky about that Crystal Harris broad! All Hugh asks is a nice busty lady to settle down with, all cozy and Tweeting from their iPads 'front the Mansion hearth, and what does he get in return?
Some ungrateful publicity whore with plastic tits and a naughty streak of "Runaway Bride." Hmph. We bet she doesn't even love him! Not even enough to wait for the will!
Strangely, though, Harris Tweeted the following comedy sketch just two hours ago:

OK, in all seriousness, if TMZ has its facts straight... we don't really blame the girl. One can only pop Valium and pretend an 85-year-old lover is satisfying her 23-year-old libido for so long. But Harris' little career takeoff (if you could call it that) is somewhat suspiciously timed, no?
She's been repping "Club Queen" all week -- including at the West Hollywood Gay Pride Parade, where she convinced some poor cameraman to film all the schwasted homos reluctantly screaming "I love Club Queen!'" into his lens. Awkward:
If we can learn anything from Heidi Montag, let us learn that the masses will soon tire of mocking your terrible single after a couple weeks, and you'll be back in the hole, with no sugar daddy in sight.
At least there's always the reality-show route!
Update: Looks like Hef is indeed a single man again:

October Count
October count is the funding period for Jefferson County Schools. It is imperative that students are in school during the window. The window changes each year but the count date is October 1st. Any student not attending must have a Known Absence Form turned into the Front Office/Teachers. Any sick student must be called in and the office will record the event.
Enrollment After October
RMAE will accept students, if a space is available, through the first day of Semester 2 (usually mid January). Parents interested in sending their children to RMAE should call the Enrollment Secretary to schedule a tour or student shadow day.
RMAE will not accept 8th grade applicants after the October 1st Count date.
The only exception are situations where the 8th grade applicant has a sibling entering grades K – 7 at the same time.
The Jefferson County public school enrollment count that determines school funding is established on or near October 1st each year. Jeffco schools all receive the same amount of funding per pupil which is called Per Pupil Revenue (PPR). Charters (including RMAE) only receive the PPR. All other funding is conducted by our PTO, the School or The Foundation.
Students who enroll after the October Count date are not added to a school's October Count number, so the school does not receive funding for these students; the students' original school retains that funding.

CRYSTAL Palace manager Dougie Freedman praised his players' determination and willingness to take on board what they had been told before tonight's 1-0 win at Charlton.
The Eagles enjoyed the better chances in a scoreless first half but were fortunate to go in level at the break after Bradley Wright-Phillips' header was wrongly ruled out for offside.
But the game was settled six minutes after the restart by Kagisho Dikgacoi's stunning strike to ensure Freedman's side made the short trip back to SE25 with all three points and their first away success of the season.
The Selhurst chief said: "I'm delighted with the attitude of the lads going into the game.
"It was a very hostile crowd and let's not kid ourselves here, Charlton have got a lot of momentum with them from last year's promotion.
"I'm so pleased for the lads to take on board what the coaches were trying to tell them and approach it in the right way.
"I thought in the first half we were excellent – we pressured in the right areas, we showed bursts of pressure in taking the ball off them and attacking with a certain intent and a purpose that created three or four opportunities.
"On another day with more confidence I'm sure we would have taken them.
"In the second half I felt rightly so Charlton put a lot of balls in our box, but that's what you get defenders in your squad for because I thought we defended resiliently and I felt that on the break we could have maybe been a better with that bit of confidence.
"But all in all I'm very happy with the result but I'm more pleased with the performance."
Freedman explained before the game he wanted to silence the Charlton crowd early on and his tactic paid off with the home fans becoming increasingly disgruntled with some poor first half clearances.
The Palace boss added: "That was exactly the game plan, that's what I'm so happy about the players taking on board.
"I felt we pressed in the right areas and we showed a good intent to attack.
"We were very expansive, we had two high wingers.
"I felt even the substitutes we made were very positive bringing a couple of attacking players on because I always felt in the second half although we are under a bit of pressure, a breakaway goal was probably needed to win the game but I was wrong."
Charlton had chances to equalise after the introduction of Ricardo Fuller and almost rescued a point in added time when keeper Ben Hamer came up for a corner and was only denied a certain equaliser by Owen Garvan's goal-line clearance.
Freedman said: "We have rode our luck a bit with the goalkeeper's header – it's actually too good a header if you want to call it that.
"He has obviously been practicing that!
"But these things weigh themselves up.
"Two or three weeks ago that would have probably hit the back of the net against us but we are defending, we are getting more confident.
"It has taken maybe a little bit longer than I thought to get the team to gel together but I've got a lot of new players in and obviously they are starting to gel together now."

What you see before you are the remains of defense walls of Siscia, capital of Roman province Pannonia Savia.
In 4th century BC the Celts arrive to this region. Celts are mixed with with Illyrian natives, and they establish a new settlement - Segestica.
In 35th BC, the young Octavian, who will later become the Roman emperor Octavian Augustus, after a month long siege with an army of 12000 men, conquers the Celtic-Illyrian city and establishes a Roman military camp - Siscia.
At the time of the Roman emperor Diocletian, the Roman province of Pannonia was divided into four regions, and Siscia becomes the capital of province Pannonia Savia.

We enjoyed our holiday and it was good value. The best thing was the location, we were well placed for Whitby, trips up and down the coast and inland for the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Unfortunately the beds and the sofas at our holiday house had seen better days. The double bed dipped in the middle and the sofa covers were falling off. The holiday home was clean but well used, we couldn't see the settings on the cooker as they had worn away, and we couldn't get the DVD player to work.
Confirmed guest, 2017-02-25
Great holiday, the heating wasn't fully functional but the staff were very helpful.

The cottage was very clean and very comfortable and the layout with the bedrooms downstairs was good as this afforded excellent views over the river and old viaduct, the overall view was very positive and the only negative were the controls on the oven as the position markings for both thermostat and heat settings were missing (scrubbed out), and we could not find an instruction book,this made cooking a roast dinner very difficult as it took quite a long time trying various positions before we were able to get full heat. This is possibly illegal and I highly recommend that the owners put clear instructions near to the oven.

Cottage lovely but could do with a bigger television also a bit short on kitchen equipment, but still had a lovely time.
Confirmed guest, 2016-10-08
Nice quiet position. Decor and furnishings a bit dated and shabby but clean and comfortable enough for the price.

Only crtiscm is that the accomodation could do with modernising and a new double bed needed as this one has clearly seen better days. Found quite a few spiders webs and carpet needs a good deep clean.

Skiers and snowboarders ride eight lifts up the resort's two peaks, with elevations of 11,307 feet and 10,300 feet, visiting 71 runs that range from beginner-friendly green circles to double black diamonds. Full-service lodges at the base of each mountain provide patrons with rentals, food, and lessons. Two-full day ticket options may be redeemed by two people on the same day or can be redeemed over two consecutive days by the same person.
Brian Head Resort
Rising above the Markagunt Plateau like the ramming prow of an ancient oared ship, Brian Head Peak commands the surrounding landscape as the highest point in Iron County. Originally dubbed Monument Peak because of its looming height, unique shape, and the 19th century's superstitions against building actual monuments, the peak now presides over a namesake resort, a 660-acre spread with the highest base elevation in Utah and all the great snow that comes with it. But although the winter snow is cold and dry—its average moisture content is just 4%—the resort isn't just a one-season playground. And its climatic adaptability means that even though Brian Head Resort is located on a national scenic byway within hours of five national parks, its eight lifts remain the most enticing way to explore the outdoors.
In addition to 71 ski trails, the resort's slopes—divided between Brian Head Peak and the slightly smaller Navajo Peak—offer features such as the bag jump, which allows guests to try out jumps, tricks, and homemade parachutes safely before touching down on a giant inflatable pillow. Regular night skiing opens up lower slopes for evening runs while those tired of shredding can hit up the tubing lanes for carefree descents. Rentals outfit casual downhillers with all the equipment they need, complementing private and group lessons for all ages on Navajo Peak. The resort's experienced professionals also cultivate the next generation of skiers by combining lessons with daycare for wee ones aged 3 and older.
As the seasons change, the melting snow exposes Brian Head Resort's summer identity as a bustling hub for hikers, mountain bikers, and disc golfers. Views of towering red rocks abound as guests ascend the resort's chairlift, from which they can shred down to the base by bike or enjoy the scenery during a more leisurely hike. For bikers, trails shaped by natural terrain share the mountain with terrain parks, where they can perform grinds, stalls, and airborne acrobatics. An 18-hole disc golf course descends from the summit to the base, covering a total of roughly six miles, the length of a squirrel marathon.

There are 220 Canberrans who have been waiting more than 12 months for elective surgery in the city's hospitals, according to the ACT Auditor-General.
But the auditor's latest snapshot of the slow progress on elective surgery waiting list shows that it has taken seven years to bring that number down from the all-time high of more than 1265.
The Canberra Liberals say they are not happy, saying on Thursday that the territory's record on elective surgery was ''catastrophic''.
Auditor-General Maxine Cooper has been monitoring the progress of the Health Directorate's implementation of the recommendations of her January 2011 report on the territory's surgical waiting list crisis. Her third update was published on Thursday.
The report notes that progress is being made in the integration of systems between government-owned Canberra Hospital and the privately owned but publicly funded Calvary Hospital.
''The number of people who have had elective surgery at ACT public hospitals over 2011-2012 was 11,261 which is 261 above the 11,000 target,'' the report notes. ''The result of 11,261 is 1 per cent below the 11,336 reported for the same period in 2010-2011.''
Improvements have been made to the median waiting time for procedures but it remains above the national average.
''At the end of 2011-2012, the median waiting time to surgery was 64 days, down 13 days from the 77 days reported for the same period in 2010-2011,'' the report reads.
''The number of patients waiting longer than standard timeframes (long waits) has had significant reductions, with only 898 recorded at the end of the 2011-2012, down from a record high of 2549 in January 2010.''
The report also notes that steps have been taken to prevent any recurrence of data-doctoring in the system to ensure that all information is ''valid, complete and accurate.''
''The Health directorate undertakes monthly validation checks of outpatient data,'' the report reads.
Tabling the document in the Assembly on Thursday, Health Minister Katy Gallagher said that arrangements with private hospitals had proved important in making progress on the elective surgery lists.
''While the overwhelming number of elective surgery procedures continues to be undertaken within the (public) hospitals, we've established partnerships with private providers within the ACT to increase access to care,'' she said.
''The partnerships provide particular support in those surgical areas where we have the largest waiting lists.
''All in all, we've managed 550 patients through the private provider arrangements since they began last year.''
But opposition health spokesman Jeremy Hanson said the reports were only necessary because of Ms Gallagher's ''appalling'' handling of the portfolio.
''Let's be clear why we had this report in the first place, because of the appalling record under the Health Minister and because of the reclassification of urgent patients to lower categories to make the books look good,'' Mr Hanson said.

cryptographic parameters of Boolean functions, it is actual the problem of
the constructing of functions that have high nonlinearity and resiliency
simultaneously. In 2000 three groups of au\\-thors obtained independently the
upper bound $2^{n-1}-2^{m+1}$ for the nonlinearity of an $m$-resilient
function of $n$ variables. It was shown that if this bound is achieved then
$(n-3)/2\\le m\\le n-2$. Simultaneously in 2000 Tarannikov constructed
functions that achieve this bound for $(2n-7)/3\\le m\\le n-2$. In 2001
Tarannikov constructed such functions for $0.6n-1\\le m$ introducing for this
aim so called proper matrices; later in 2001 Fedorova and Tarannikov
constructed by means of proper matrices the functions that achieve the bound
$2^{n-1}-2^{m+1}$ for $m\\ge cn(1+o(1))$ where
$c=1/\\log_2(\\sqrt{5}+1)=0.5902...$ but proved simultaneously
that by means of proper matrices it is impossible to improve this
result. During the period since 2001 it was not any further progress
in the problem on the achievability of the bound $2^{n-1}-2^{m+1}$ in spite of
this problem was well known and actual except the constructing
in 2006--2007 by three groups of authors by means of a computer search
concrete functions for $n=9$, $m=3$. In this paper we find the new
approach that uses the generalization of the concept of proper
matrices. We formulate com\\-bi\\-na\\-to\\-ri\\-al problems solutions of which
allow to construct generalized proper matrices with parameters impossible
for old proper matrices. As a result we obtain the constructions of
$m$-resilient functions of $n$ variables with maximal nonlinearity for
$m\\ge cn(1+o(1))$ where $c=0.5789...$, and also we demonstrate how further
advance in combinatorial problems follows an additional decrease of the
constant $c$.
In this paper we formalize the problem of designing an efficient recovery mechanism from state compromise, by considering it as an online optimization problem. If we knew the timing of the last compromise and the amount of entropy gathered since then, we could stop producing any outputs until the state becomes truly random again. However, our challenge is to recover within a time proportional to this optimal solution even in the hardest (and most realistic) case in which (a) we know nothing about the timing of the last state compromise, and the amount of new entropy injected since then into the state, and (b) any premature production of outputs leads to the total loss of all the added entropy {\\em used by the RNG}, since the attacker can use brute force to enumerate all the possible low-entropy states. In other words, the challenge is to develop recovery mechanisms which are guaranteed to save the day as quickly as possible after a compromise we are not even aware of. The dilemma that we face is that any entropy used prematurely will be lost, and any entropy which is kept unused will delay the recovery.
After developing our formal definitional framework for RNGs with inputs, we show how to construct a nearly optimal RNG which is secure in our model. Our technique is inspired by the design of the Fortuna RNG (which is a heuristic RNG construction that is currently used by Windows and comes without any formal analysis), but we non-trivially adapt it to our much stronger adversarial setting. Along the way, our formal treatment of Fortuna enables us to improve its entropy efficiency by almost a factor of two, and to show that our improved construction is essentially tight, by proving a rigorous lower bound on the possible efficiency of any recovery mechanism in our very general model of the problem.
In this paper, we extend the transformation paradigm presented by Naor and Segev that can transform from any chosen-plaintext secure public key encryption (PKE) scheme into a chosenplaintext weak key-leakage secure PKE scheme. Our extensions are mainly in two manners. On one hand, we extend the paradigm into chosen-ciphertext attack scenarios and prove that the properties of the paradigm still hold when we consider chosen-ciphertext attacks. We also give an instantiation based on DDH assumption in this setting for concrete. On the other hand, we extend the paradigm to cover more powerful side channel attacks. We do this by relaxing the restrictions on leakage functions. We further consider attacks that require the secret key still has enough min-entropy after leaking and prove the original paradigm is still applicable in this case with chosen-ciphertext attacks. We also consider attacks that require the secret key is computationally infeasible to recover given the leakage information and formalize the informal discusses by Naor and Segev in (Crypto\' 09) on how to adapt the original paradigm in this new models.

text: Apple is in the development stages of an long-rumored television, partnering with glassmaker Corning, G-Tech Optoelectronics, Foxconn, and display maker Innolux -- if a report from Taiwan's Economic Daily News is to be believed [Google Translate]. The paper has a spotty track record at best, but it seems plausible that Apple would be talking with potential suppliers for a television as it continues to work on the much-rumored project. EDN did report on Pegatron's and LG Display's involvement with the iPad mini months ahead of its public launch, suggesting it does have some good sourcing with suppliers. In 2012, GTOC was rumored to be making new anti-reflective glass for the then-upcoming redesigned iMac. The Economic Daily News also quotes NPD DisplaySearch vice president David Hseih as saying the iTV with Corning glass would launch early next year in 55" and 60" models.

I do. My knife of choice, at least for the moment, is a Kershaw. I currently carry the Chive 1600. Kershaw knives carry a lifetime warranty. The Chive is a tough, slender, practical knife with a blade that holds an edge fairly well and comes with Kershaw's patented SpeedSafe opening system - almost switch-blade like in ease and speed. It retails for $53, but I bought this one used for $10. It's in perfect condition. I've carried a pocket knife since I was a very young boy, probably around 7 years old. My first knife, which I still have, was an Old Timer given to me by my grandfather.
Growing up in Western Virginia, a pocket knife was considered "standard equipment" for every boy. I can remember playing mumbly-peg (or "mumblety-peg"), comparing knives with other boys, and "whittlin' sticks" together. Playing mumbly-peg today in a government school would get a boy expelled and require that some shrink psycho-analyze the poor kid. Funny, we never had school shootings when Bibles and pocket-knives were allowed in schools. In our modern age of "homeland security" (a joke), the feminization of American males, and boys who prefer video games to the great outdoors, carrying a pocket knife is seen by many as quaint and old-fashioned. Not so, not so!
Read the excellent article from one of my favorite sites here if you doubt me. This is a great piece and gives a little history of the pocket knife as well as why every real man should carry one. :)
Here's an excerpt:
"Pocket knives have been an essential tool for soldiers throughout American history. New York and New Hampshire required their militias to carry pocket knives during the American Revolution. Even George Washington toted one around as he led his troops. The U.S. Navy began issuing pocket knives to sailors during the Civil War. During WWII, the pocket knife was standard issue for American GIs."
One well known incident involving the use of a pocket knife by a Civil War soldier involved Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest. Forrest stabbed his adversary in the abdomen with his pen knife after the man had shot Forrest in the gut during an argument. Forrest is alleged to have said: "No damned man kills me and lives!" Forrest did live. His adversary did not.
One version of the incident can be read here. A better version is in Andrew Neslon Lytle's Bedford Forrest and His Critter Company.

Good piece of history of the pocket knife, the part about the Confederate General is interesting. Not sure if pocket knife plays a part in changing the fate of the Civil War though.

text: Hi I'm new to the forum and let this be my introductory post. I just bought some really nice and well fitting shirts from England (I live in Finland and the selection is not that good). However, being unaccustomed to buying shirts, I only noticed at home that the shirts I bought are French cuff. I rarely wear a jacket and tie and would like to wear my shirts more casually, ie. unbuttoned with cufflinks/silk knots with slacks or nice denims. I'm a bit self-conscious about doing that as I haven't seen anyone sporting such a style. Do you think it would be appropriate or a major faux pas? Btw, I have a lean build and I'm in my mid-20's in case that makes a difference. Galen

Russia's health ministry said today unregulated prostitution was compounding an AIDS epidemic in a region the United Nations says has the fastest growing number of cases.
Up to 1.8 million people in Eastern Europe and Central Asia are infected by HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. UN estimates show some 40 million people worldwide are living with HIV/AIDS.
The infection is commonly transmitted via shared needles among drug users or through unprotected sex, and there is no known cure.
"Prostitution is becoming more of a social and medical problem in Russia and CIS countries," first deputy health minister Gennady Onishchenko told a news conference ahead of AIDS day on December 1.
"The absence of legal regulation in this sphere is worsening the situation in this country."
Drug abuse and prostitution often go hand in hand, with the World Bank estimating 60 per cent of Russia's sex workers inject drugs. Russia probably has close to two million drug users, Onishchenko said.
Three quarters of Russia's 257,120 registered HIV carriers were drug users, he said. Health workers say the real number of those infected could be four or five times higher.
"Eastern Europe and Central Asia have the fastest growing epidemic," said Professor Lars Kallings, assistant UN Secretary-General.
"From a political, economic and military aspect, this is a very serious turn of the HIV/AIDS epidemic."
Young people aged 15 to 29 -- a vital part of the workforce -- account for 70-80 per cent of HIV carriers in Russia and a high percentage of drug users. Onishchenko said this trend had already led to a shortage of workers.
"In the past 10 years...more than 20,000 drug addicts were not called up to the army...and 10,000 HIV-infected young people did not go," he said.
"These are real losses society carries."
Burgeoning numbers of children contract HIV from infected mothers. Some 7,591 Russian children are infected and the youngest registered drug addict is six years old.
"The heartbreaking aspect is that extraordinarily large numbers of very young people are regularly injecting drugs," said Kallings.
"The threat to the young generation is very serious indeed."
HIV is also rife in Russia's overcrowded prisons, where two per cent of around one million inmates are infected. In ex-Soviet Uzbekistan a third of prisoners are carriers.
The world's worst affected region is Sub-Saharan Africa where there are around 26.6 million cases of HIV/AIDS.

Conversations: A means of learning, growth and change
Healy, Lynn, Ehrich, Lisa C., Hansford, Brian C., & Stewart, Doug J. (2001) Conversations: A means of learning, growth and change. Journal of Educational Administration, 39(4), pp. 332-345.

The research reported in this article formed part of a university/industry collaborative grant in which the role of leaders in managing cultural change across an industry site was investigated. The focus of the article concerns the leadership of a district director in a rural setting in Queensland. The study was shaped by the interests of the district director who sought feedback on her leadership style and influence on principals in the district. A team of researchers from the School of Professional Studies in the Faculty of Education at Queensland University of Technology conducted semi-structured interviews with a sample of six principals with whom she had worked over a period of one year to gauge their perceptions of her influence on their thinking and acting. A key finding of the research was that well-led conversations can be an effective professional development strategy for learning, growth and change in educational leaders.

NEWS: My third book,
Hauntingly Painful, Wonderfully Beautiful
is out and available for purchase through Lulu.com and Amazon.com.
Among a pile of books at a yard sale, seventeen year old Azlyn finds someone's personal journal. At the suggestion of her best friend Sutherland, she goes on a journey to return the journal to its owner. The more Azlyn dives into the journal, the more desperate she becomes to find its owner, as the pages contain thoughts seemingly plucked from her own mind.
As she attempts to find the mystery writer, Azlyn begins to discover things about herself that she isn't fully prepared to deal with. Will she have the strength to try to find the writer or will the darkness of her inner world consume her?
Hauntingly Painful, Wonderfully Beautiful
captures how the darkest parts of us can also be the most beautiful.

SYDNEY David Warner has top scored for Sunrisers Hyderabad to help the side to a 15-run victory over the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League.
The Australian big-hitter came in at number four and put on 65 in 51 balls, firing off four sixes, and smashing an above-waist no-ball straight into umpire Kumar Dharmasena's shoulder.
He was eventually sent packing off a Corey Anderson ball in the 19th over after sending a thick edge to keeper C M Gautam.
Compatriot Adam Finch earlier got Hyderabad's innings off to a quick start after Mumbai won the toss and sent the Sunrisers in to bat.
He was caught for 16 after a 15-ball stay, with fellow Aussie Ben Dunk taking the catch with a jump at cover.
Chasing a total of 176 and looking for Mumbai's first win of the season, Dunk was under pressure as he opened for the defending champions, and managed 20 off 17 balls.
Mumbai's number five Kieron Pollard put 78 on the board, but it wasn't enough to pull out a win, and the side finished 7-157.
The two-point win lifts Hyderabad to sixth place in the IPL standings, while Mumbai remain in last-place eighth.
