It's become standard procedure to combine every movie release with at least one run of console games to arrive with it. In the case of Barnyard, THQ isn't breaking suit, developing a multiplatform console game paired with a GBA treatment set to debut this summer alongside the theatrical release. We recently had a chance to go hands-on with the adventure, and while it follows the common licensed game formula like so many before it, it does it in a slightly different capacity. Barnyard may not be hitting the mainstream crowd, but those looking to pick it up for the younglings may be a bit surprised at the product, as THQ's latest addition to the "movie-game" genre promises a ton of variety and gameplay options.
Barnyard mixes a free-roaming design similar, oddly enough, to Grand Theft Auto (if you sub out the guns and violence and replace it with milk-squirting and slapstick comedy, that is), using the free-form gameplay as a window for tons of fetch quests and mini-games. The story begins with the player picking either a male or female cow, giving it a name, and entering the world of Barnyard as a new animal sent to the farm. Rather than hours of toiling work on the field, however, the members of the yard have free reign over the property.
The first hour of the game is set up as an introduction, allowing players to get to know the characters, learn how to navigate the town, access and manage inventory and execute basic tasks around the village. Even then, however, the entire game is free-roaming, so aside from being locked in general areas around the yard there's no penalty for taking your time or straying from the objectives. As the game continues, more areas are opened up, along with the ability to customize the barn as you see fit (used at night to throw parties), ride around town on a BMX bike or participate in any of the previously beaten mini-games collected from main missions. The entire game works on an "accelerated-time" clock, allowing for different events to occur specifically during the day or night.
While there's no major way to "win" the game, there are three overall objectives that players can shoot for. By completing every mission, players are rewarded with the Barnyard Hero accomplishment. Likewise, if each mini-game can be completed at the highest level the Barnyard Champion title will be awarded. Finally, and possibly the most appealing of the accomplishments, is the Number One Party Animal achievement, which can only be unlocked after fully customizing your barn with all the hottest furniture, games and accessories. The option of buying and selling items at the gopher shop gives the game a bit of an Animal Crossing feel, as customization and player preference actually takes precedent over simply "winning" the game. Since the game is entirely free-form, however, players can pick and chose what paths they want to take.
From the gameplay side of things, Barnyard is still a bit of a mixed bag. It's important to note that the build we played was not the final version of the game, but the issues are still worth mentioning. For starters, the main character control is still a bit messy and unbalanced at times. The stamina bar (which allows the player to run) drains too quickly, and the walk speed is far too slow for the amount of time you'll have to use it. A few of the mini-games still have some odd issues (such as the somewhat glitchy physics in the pool game, for instance) that need to be ironed out as well. We also had the audio drop out on numerous occasions, though that is definitely a bug that will be sorted out by release.
Even despite the current (and temporary) setbacks, Barnyard is showing potential as a solid sandbox title, and a very strong overall licensed product. The sheer amount of depth in the game allows for a ton of play time, and the day/night design gives a nice balance of both missions and recreation.
We'll have more on Barnyard as we near release, including a more in-depth look at the full list of mini-games available around town. Keep checking back at IGN.com for the latest GameCube news.

Washington (CNSNews.com) – Democratic governors were critical of how Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is handling the showdown with the public employees union in his state, but were ambiguous about whether they could support Walker's proposal to allow voters to approve or disapprove by referendum any pay raise for public employees – including teachers – that exceeds the rate of inflation.
"I don't want to criticize other governors," Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper told CNSNews.com. "I've got my hands full in
Hickenlooper said a referendum should not be used too often.
"I don't mind referendums. What, are you going to do a referendum on everything?" he continued. "My goal is if you get the right people making the conversation, making the discussion, then ultimately – voters don't have to have a referendum on every little thing, I don't think.
"It depends on the state and how important it is for different issues. Ultimately we need to get all sides to the table and work out compromises, legitimate compromises," Hickenlooper said.
The Democratic Governors Association met in
The Democrats' meeting is followed by the meeting of the bipartisan National Governors Association. The gatherings are happening in the midst of a showdown between Gov. Walker, a Republican, and
Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, said
"Anything they can do to get back to the main priority that I think every governor should be focused on which is job creation, saving jobs, creating jobs and rebuilding our economy," O'Malley said.
"I think it's so unfortunate that with all of the challenges we've gone through in this recession that any state would be distracted from job creation and try to settle old political scores or sharpen their ideological ax to go after unions," O'Malley told CNSNews.com.
"I just don't think it's helpful to creating jobs. Whatever Wisconsin or these other states can do to get back into the game of creating jobs instead of fighting, or belittling their public employees, I think is a positive step," he said.
Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy said that Walker clearly had a union-busting agenda.
"First of all, he's got to do what he thinks is right for his state, and clearly I have some pretty big disagreements with him," Malloy told CNSNews.com. "He's trying to bust a union. That's what he is. He's a union buster, and that's what he's trying to do, and he is now desperate to find language where his position doesn't sound quite as absurd.
"That's what he's doing. You're asking questions about his renovating his initial take on all of this," Malloy continued. "For instance, he wants union members to have to vote to be a union member every year, but he doesn't think the governor should be elected every year."
When CNSNews.com followed up with Malloy on whether he would support a referendum for pay increases, he answered, "Each state has a different constitution, so they'll make their own decisions. We don't have that in our constitution."

"Lack of courtesey?"
About: Addenbrooke's Hospital Addenbrooke's Hospital Cambridge CB2 0QQ
Posted by Anonymous
I would award good star ratings as a general thing for medical staff but just a word about reception...I had a lunchtime appointment at Rosie and my partner needed a courtesey bus at lunchtime for an appointment ...the enquiry desk was unmanned and we didnt know the procedure to get the bus. Eventually a clerk arrived sour faced and when asked 'Oh OK I will ring for one' in a huff with no greeting at all for us. It struck me that the usual pleasant and helpful volunteers were nowhere to be seen...I had not been there for at least 5 years..why the change? I used to praise this aspect of Addenbrookes highly as I have no head for direction and used to get lost and confused In previous years the guides and volunteers have saved me from panic attacks and got me to my appointments on time. The courtesey bus is a welcome benefit but the driver crashed into some unseen large object on the way back whilst muttering the whole time to someone on a radio telling them jokes! The doctor was pleasant and helpful but chewed gum throughout the consultation...not a good image Addenbrookes!

Affordable HIV medicines allow millions of people around the world to lead longer, healthier lives. But millions more do not have access to affordable treatment. Innovation is needed to ensure that the best medicines reach those who need them the most.
There are 37 million people eligible to receive HIV treatment now according to the World Health Organization (WHO). But only 15 million currently have access. Moreover, of the 3.3 million children living with HIV today, only 32% receive antiretroviral therapy. Low-cost, easy-to-take HIV medicines must therefore be made more available in developing countries where the vast majority of people living with HIV reside. There also is significant need to adapt medicines for use in developing country contexts and simplify treatment for children living with HIV. Currently, none of the WHO-recommended preferred regimens for children exist in paediatric fixed-dose combinations requiring caregivers to use adult formulations, unadapted paediatric drugs or alternative regimens.
Solving the innovation and access problem
The MPP offers a model that works for all stakeholders. Through licences, patent holders have an effective way to share their innovative products in resource-poor settings and may be compensated by a fair royalty. Low-cost manufacturers are producing affordable new medicines more easily and rapidly. Donors and developing country governments are stretching their budgets farther to treat many more people. And, most importantly, people living with HIV are gaining faster access to quality, life-saving treatments.
Robust market competition saves lives
Without robust generic competition for patented antiretrovials (ARVs), prices remain unsustainably high placing a substantial burden on treatment programmes. MPP is currently managing more than 100 on-going pharmaceutical development projects to speed the development of generic medicines and decrease prices, specifically for new therapies and pipeline products. Since January 2012, MPP's generic partners have distributed 12.9 million patient-years of HIV treatments. This has saved the international community $312 million over the past five years.

I'm a history buff, so I'm always interested in what happened in the past and how that might possibly reflect on the present or even the future.
Let's pick a date at random, say, February 18th.
Great day.
For example, in 1968 on that date legendary guitarist David Gilmour joined Pink Floyd.
And in 1979 "Roots: The Next Generations" premiered on ABC.
Now, on February 18, 2011, you can add this to that impressive list:
The Court is pleased to announce the Investiture of the Honorable Kevin Emas.Suck on that, Kunta Kinte!
The Investiture will take place on February 18, 2011, at three o'clock in the afternoon, at the Courthouse of the Third District.
In all seriousness, congrats to Judge Emas, though I'm still a pretty big LeVar Burton fan....
Oh yeah, the opinions:
Alonso v. Ford Motor Co.:
Wow, this jury reminds me of the line I was in the other day at Costco:
The issues raised by the appellant are (1) an allegation of premature deliberations by certain members of the jury, (2) an allegation that one member, Juror S.,1 suffered a "high blood pressure headache" and "went along with a defense verdict in this case only because he was fearful of having a stress-induced stroke caused by his severe hypertension," and (3) an allegation by Juror S. that another juror, Juror K., "smelled like a batch of beer," and seemed to Juror S. to have been intoxicated at one or more points during the trial.Not seeing the problem.
Cossio v. Arrondo:
Is this how they're moving along trials nowadays?
Alejandra Cossio appeals from a final judgment claiming the court below erred in precluding her from presenting at trial any witnesses (other than herself) and from introducing any documents.Again, not seeing the problem.
State Farm v. Swindoll:
Boy does State Farm know how to hire an expert witness:
Q: And you just told me he never had one neck
complaint prior to that car crash that we just saw the
picture of, correct?
A: Well, sir, you know --
Q: Correct?
A. Well, in answer to your question, correct. However,
Q. Thank you doctor.
A. As you know, but I bet he will not have a complaint
the day you walk out of this courtroom either, sir.
Mr. Hoffman: Judge --
THE COURT: Okay. Take the jury out, please.Ok, I don't know what it is today, but I'm still not seeing the problem.
Maybe I've been practicing too long?
(God I love state court).

Save big on business class airfares, sign up today!
Paris in the morning is beautiful Paris in the afternoon is charming Paris in the evening is enchanting But Paris after midnight is magic!
Well, that's what we all learned after watching Midnight in Paris, Woody Allen's exquisite ode to Paris.
Alas, all that glitters in La Ville-Lumière (The City of Light) is not gold.
Paris, it seems, has turned into a big draw for pickpockets.
How and when this happened is for academics and criminologists to ponder over.
Suffice it to say, these pickpocket vermin are now a big menace, causing enormous grief to both natives and tourists in Paris.
Just the other day, employees at the famed Louvre museum (home of the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo) staged a walk out protesting against violent pickpockets targeting visitors.
Following the strike, the Paris police has dispatched 20 officers to patrol the vast museum.
The pickpocket menace in Paris has become so bad that the web site of the U.S. Embassy in Paris now has a special page devoted to the issue: Pickpockets in Paris: How to Avoid Becoming A Victim
Here are a bunch of suggestions from the American Embassy to guard against pickpockets in Paris.
Whether you're a first-time visitor to Paris or an American on an extended stay in the city, you'd be wise to follow these precautions.
* Never keep more in your wallet than you're willing to lose. Keep one credit card/ATM card, one ID and no more than €40-50.
* Keep in mind that pickpockets work in gangs, often using adolescents since it's hard to send minors to jail in France.
* Put a rubber band around your wallet and keep it in your front pocket. This will make it hard for pickpockets to get it out without you knowing.
* Reports show that 70% of pickpocket victims in Paris are women. Ladies, carry your purse tightly under your arm and slightly in front of you. If you have a backpack-type purse, swing it around so that it loops slightly in front of you. It's harder to steal something if it's in your field of visionl. Ladies' handbag with a zipper or clasp are a dream for pickpockets if it's dangling carelessly out of the owner's sight. Do not keep your bag or purse on the floor in a restaurant or shop.
* Ensure that you have a copy of the passport, and other key papers in your wallet. Keep all phone numbers and contact information to cancel your stolen cards and passport.
* Be aware that the most likely places to get pick pocketed are close to major tourist attractions like the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Louvre Museum and the Champs-Elysées.
* Americans in Paris should be alert to pickpockets and purse snatchers who usually work near tourist spots like museums, monuments, restaurants, hotels, beaches, trains, train stations, airports, subways and target vehicles with non-local license plates.
* When trying to get on or off a train, you will be swarmed by several people. As you're being pushed, your pocket is also being picked. A second trick is to grab the purse of someone sitting right by the door and to hop off just as the doors are closing. Always, find a seat away from the doors.
* Pickpockets are masters of distraction techniques to rob their victims. Two or more people will approach you and ask for directions, try to sell you stuff, or just crowd you. While you are occupied with one person, another is picking your pocket. Another favorite technique of thieves is to have something thrown or spilled on you, like water or ice cream. One person will approach you and offer to help clean you up and while you are distracted another person picks your pocket.
* Pickpockets usually trash the wallet after taking cash and credit/ATM cards. Contact the "Lost and Found" to find out if your items were returned.

If your passport was stolen, the U.S. Embassy will issue you a replacement.

Awareness week promotes importance of cervical screening
As the national Cervical Cancer Prevention Week begins, figures show that older women are dismissing the importance of the smear test.
In support of the European Cervical Cancer Association's awareness campaign, a charity has released figures highlighting the misconceptions women have of the disease, and how they are neglecting important preventative measures in the fight against a cancer which affects more women than is commonly perceived.
The Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust - the only UK charity dedicated to supporting those affected and their families - look to provide comprehensive information to all women. This year's campaign sees a particular focus on single women over 50, many of whom – a poll by the trust has found - did not see cervical screening (or smear tests) as a necessary precaution and considered the cancer as a young woman's disease. Also, with the belief that it is caused by having multiple sexual partners, and therefore, the belief that such measures were not relevant to them, these results have emphasized the need to better inform women on the facts of cervical cancer, and to encourage the importance of regular testing.
It is recommended that all women aged 25-64 should take up the offer of cervical screening when it is advised, in order to check for any abnormalities. Around three quarters of cases can be prevented by early detection and treatment. The Health Minister, Simon Burns, encourages the screening, acknowledging that "it could save their lives."
A preventative vaccination - the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Vaccine - caused controversy when it was introduced in 2008. It was aimed at girls aged 12 to 13, and then offered as a catch-up programme for 14 to 17 year olds, who would be injected three times over a six to 12 month period. Reported adverse side effects have led parents to questions whether the vaccine is suitable, and the issue is under review.

"Dear Sir,
I've never written to you before, but I really need your advice.
I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. There are the usual signs:
► The phone rings, but if I answer, the caller hangs up.
► My wife has been going out with "the girls" a lot recently, although when I ask their names she always says: "Just some friends from work, you don't know them."
I have never approached the subject with my wife. I think, deep down, I just didn't want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her.
Around midnight I hid in the garage behind my boat so I could get a good view of the whole street when she arrived home. When she got out of the car she was buttoning up her blouse, and she took her panties out of her purse and slipped them on.
It was at that moment, crouching behind the boat, that I noticed some hairline cracks in my gelcoat, right where the hull meets the transom of the boat.
Is this something I can fix myself or should I take the boat to the yard for repairs?
Concerned Boater."

Investment managers are warning that markets probably have further to fall as China's growth slows, oil prices plunge and central bankers lack tools to prop up economies.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index will drop another 10 per cent to 1650 and oil could fall as low as $US20 a barrel as investors flee for safety, according to Scott Minerd, chief investment officer of Guggenheim Partners. Jeffrey Rottinghaus, whose T. Rowe Price mutual fund beat 99 per cent of rivals over the past year, said stock prices could fall another 10 per cent as the US economy slips into a mild recession.
"I expect a protracted decline in the S&P 500," Jeffrey Gundlach, co-founder of DoubleLine Capital, said in an emailed response to questions. "Investors should sell the bounce-back rally which could come at any time."
Equities staged a late-day rally paced by health-care and small-cap shares that briefly erased a drop of 3.7 per cent in the Nasdaq Composite Index. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 cut their worst losses by more than half. Energy companies sank further into five-year lows, on pace for their worst monthly slump since 2008 as oil plunged. Chevron slid 3.1 per cent. International Business Machines fell 4.9 per cent after its earnings forecast missed projections.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 1.2 per cent to 1859.43 at 4pm in New York, closing at its lowest level since April 2014. The gauge trimmed a slide of more than 3.6 per cent. The Dow closed 1.6 per cent lower. The Dow lost 249 points on the day, though it tumbled more than 560 points at midday before turning.
Rottinghaus, manager of the $US203 million T. Rowe Price US Large-Cap Core Fund, said "industrials and commodities have been in a recession for at least six months" in the US. "What we are trying to figure out is how much that bleeds into the consumer side of the economy," he said in an interview.
Russ Koesterich, global chief investment strategist at BlackRock, said there needs to be a fundamental catalyst to signal a market bottom, whether it comes from corporate earnings, economic data or an improvement in China.
"You need to have some stabilisation of fundamentals to give people conviction this has gone too far," Koesterich, whose firm is the world's largest money manager, said in an interview. "Certainly you are getting closer to capitulation. The magnitude of the drop suggests that."
Hedge fund manager Ray Dalio said global markets face risks to the downside as economies near the end of a long-term debt cycle. The Federal Reserve's next move will be toward quantitative easing, rather than monetary tightening, the founder of Bridgewater Associates said in an interview with CNBC from the World Economic Forum in Davos. That won't be easy, because rates are already so low, he said.
"When you hit zero, you can't lower interest rates anymore," Dalio said, according to a transcript of the interview. "That end of the long-term debt cycle is the issue that means that the risks are asymmetric on the downside because risks are comparatively high at the same time there's not an ability to ease."
The rout in global stocks is being fuelled by investors seeking to reduce leverage as central bank run out of options to prop up economies, according to Janus Capital Group's Bill Gross.
"Real economies are being levered with QEs and negative interest rates to little effect," Gross, who manages the $US1.3 billion Janus Global Unconstrained Bond Fund, said in an email responding to questions from Bloomberg. "Markets sense this lack of growth potential and observe recessions beginning in major emerging-market economies."
While overseas economies are wobbling, the US remains an island of stability, according to money managers such as Omar Aguilar, chief investment officer for equities at Charles Schwab.
"This is a financial crisis and not an economic crisis," Aguilar said during a conference call. "The US economy is stable."
Data on the housing market, unemployment and government spending still support US gross domestic product growth, Aguilar said. Oil markets will rise later this year when supply drops in response to current low prices, according to Mihir Worah, co-manager of the $US89.9 billion Pimco Total Return Fund.
"We continue to expect oil markets to balance in the second half of the year, and expect oil prices to move higher from current levels as a result," Worah said in an email. "While we aware of the risks, we still expect US GDP growth to come in around 2 per cent."
David Herro, manager of the $US24 billion Oakmark International Fund, said low energy prices should support consumer spending, the biggest part of the US economy.
"I don't think the drop in equity prices is at all warranted by economic fundamentals," Herro wrote in an email.

Cannot upload files or pictures with jotform on mobile androidAsked by Rickyroll on April 26, 2016 at 10:19 PM
Hi all
I browsed all suport forum and FAQ but I couldn't find the way to upload an image from my cell phone, i created an APK with my form under this website : http://www.appsgeyser.com
I browsed all widgets but none helped me
I'm using motrola Moto G
JotForm Support
I checked your form https://www.jotform.com/61014546260951 and I found that the upload field you were using was the Transloadit widget.
You must provide first your Transloadit API key for this widget to work.
If you do not have the the API key, you may want to just try also using the regular Upload field. It should also work on mobile device browser.
Let us know if issue remains.
Hello, thank you for the quick response, i tried several widget et regular upload but it was impossible for me to upload from cell phone with APK.
JotForm Support
I see that you've deleted your transloadit widget. We would appreciate it if you could add it on your form. At that time, we can test it and we can analyze the problem. If you have any question or issues, please do not hesitate contacting us. We will be glad to assist you.
it's done, I added regular and transloadit widget, hope to find solution asap
I tested your form and it looks like the Widget is not authenticated. You need the make sure the Widget is Authenticated by copying the API key from your Tranloadit account.
I also made a clone of your form and was able to upload files both from my computer and Android phone.
If you are testing this on Moto G, you OS is probably Marshmallow 6.0, you will need to grant any app permission to be able to access some features on the phone.
Hello, I can upload picture from cell phone when I use Firefox, but when I convert the form to APK I cannot.
thanks for the support
It might happen that your application do not have permission to the phone storage or camera.
I'm not sure if it is really possible to convert your form to an Android application and get all the functionalities working properly without some coding.
If you are using an application to do so, you might need to refer to their documentation for some details.
You could try https://www.appsgeyser.com/ or http://www.appypie.com/ as alternative.
Thanks alot, may the IT of my compagny will do some programming :-)

-Matthew Austin Murray's email
Mr. Porrey, I can identify the names of the other Stuntmen and forward your email to them but I do not feel comfortable giving out their information. I hope you understand. In episode 303 I played ND Stunt National Guard #2, the guy with the beard who was shot and fell off the back of the trailer, the other stuntmen involved were Bob Fisher, Troy Faruk, Philip Dido and Scott Dale. The actor who played the role of Corporal was Gary Weeks and National Guardsman #1 was Dwayne Boyd. I also played one of the Riot Robo Walkers (a photo of me as that Zombie went viral on facebook) in episode 301 and played a bridge walker in episode 310. I do not recall the names on our Uniforms but if you contact the Costume Designer, Eulyn Womble, she should have access to production costume photos and can get that information. I hope this is of some help and I will forward your email to those who I am in contact with. Sincerely,
Matthew Austin Murray
--"Destiny is determined, Fate... Ain't"
-Scott Dale's email
Yes, I played the NG Humvee Gunner. My uniform jacket had a name but they took it off me and I only wore the flak jacket.Thx,Scott
-Bob Fisher's email: (updated)
My name is Bob Fisher,
Matt Murray forwarded me your email about identifying the national guardsman who got ambushed.
I was shot in the chest against the humvee, and again shot in the back by the governor as the wounded soldier trying to run away at the end of ambush.
-Troy Faruk played Sean, and we will have to contact Philip Dido and the Costume Designer Eulyn Womble in order to find out the character names.

I guess that's not something you go and do on your lunch hour... I think it looks cool without the colour (and I'm not a big fan of body art). Nice pics!ReplyDelete
Very cool! I expect a full 12 of 12 dedicated to the finished product so we can see all the details.ReplyDelete
Awesome! I can't wait to see the finished product!ReplyDelete
Saweet! I cannot wait to see how it turns out and also to hear how you chose the design. Also intrigued to hear about this new leg workout! I am with you on the no shoes. I am barefoot as much as I can be.ReplyDelete
The tattooing is turning into a much bigger project than I had ever imagined. One of these days, you'll walk past a Yakuza guy, and he'll think, "Damn! That girl has a lot of tattoos!" :^)ReplyDelete
Due to low life spam monkeys I am forced to moderate comments and I hate it (But I hate spam monkeys more)

PSG ready to do business
By Patrick Haond
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Paris Saint Germain's priority target is still CSKA Moscow star Sergei Semak.
Paris Saint Germain's priority target is still CSKA Moscow star Sergei Semak.
The Ligue 1 outfit have been hit financially by their early elimination from the UEFA Champions League and League Cup so coach Vahid Halilhodzic will not have a huge transfer kitty at his disposal.
However, the Bosnian boss is determined to bring CSKA's playmaker to the French capital.
A é¼2.3 million bid has been tabled by PSG although the Russian club want at least é¼2.7 million before agreeing to the sale.
Norwegian striker John Carew has been offered to PSG by agents as an alternative target but the Besiktas striker's wage demands are too high.
With Cameroon international Modeste M'Bami out until March, Halilhodzic is also looking for midfield reinforcements.
Monaco's Pontus Farnerud could emerge as a target after being considered in the summer.
On the outgoing front, Danijel Ljuboja is attracting interest from Spain.
Malaga and Levante lead the chase for the forward but Levante have only offered a loan deal and PSG want a permanent deal struck at around é¼5 million.

Our recipes are created by award-winning chefs and nutritionists.
With a little bit of love, these lesser-used cuts of meat can give flavoursome, tender results.Discover our top tips for choosing, preparing and cooking cuts of meat
1 Choose
As with any cut, look for meat that is deep pink and marbled with creamy white fat. Ask the butcher in store for advice on choosing the right cut and cooking methods.
2 Prep
Bring meat up to room temperature before cooking. This will help it cook evenly, and means it won't 'seize' and become tough when it's transferred from a cold fridge to a hot pan.
3 Cook
The majority of these cuts benefit from slow cooking at a low temperature, giving meltingly tender meat, although some cuts such as beef skirt can be pan or stir-fried.
Here are some of our favourite cuts of meat that deserve their moment in the spotlight
Lamb neck fillet
Whole neck fillet is great slow-roasted. It has a sweet meaty flavour that pairs well with cinnamon and dried fruits. You can also buy it ready-diced for stews (it's traditionally used in Lancashire hotpot), or for threading kebabs.
Beef skirt
Also known as 'butcher's cut' (because butchers like to keep it back for themselves), the skirt comes from the udnerside of the cow and is often used as a minute steak. Pan-fry it, use in a stir-fry or roast a whole skirt slowly until tender.
Pork ribs
Like pork belly, ribs are great for carrying strong flavours, so marinate them in honey or barbcue sauce. Ribs can be roasted, barbecued or grilled - for really tnder ribs simmer them in water before fnishing on the grill.
Beef brisket
Rich and flavoursome, brisket is a cut taken from the breast of the cow and is firm in texture. Keep it whole and use in pot-roasts as an economic alternative to your Sunday roast beef. You'll need to cook it all the way through until it's super tender.
Lamb breast
Slow roasting will transform this rolled breast joint into meltingly tender meat. For an impressive, but cheap, mea, try stuffing and then re-rolling it with herbs and spices. Don't forget to scrape all the sticky bits from the pan to make a gravy.
Pork belly
This versatile cut can take strong flavours and is popular in many cuisines around the world. Try rubbing with five spice ad slow-roasting whole, or use diced pork belly to add flavour to casseroles.
Meet the expert: Nicola Crowson, Quality and Development Manager
Why do you think forgotten cuts of meat are gaining popularity?
Many people overlook these cuts because they perceive them to be tough or too fiddly. It can take a bit of time to cook some varieties, in order to bring out the best in them, but treated properly they can be absolutely delicious. Beef brisket and lamb breast, for example, are marbled with fat, and it's this that gives them their flavour.
Is the meat any lesser quality?
These cuts are as good a quality as any other more sought-after cut taken from the same animal. It's just taken from a different part of the body - often the muscles that have worked harder than the rest. Leading chefs are making cuts like these more poular today and you'll often see some of them (pork belly, for example) on menus at top restaurants.
Are these cuts better suited to stews?
They do work well in stews, but they're more versatile than that and can be used in all sorts of other dishes as well. Some cuts, such as beef skirt or pork ribs, can be cooked quickly - simply marinate them first (overnigth, if time permits) to help bring out their great falvour. Although I do have to say my favourite dish is beef brisket and Guinness casserole. It's really homely and the meet is incredibly tender.

As far as I'm concerned, there are two different strategies for deciding what services to use. You can either choose to use services from a single vendor, or you can shop around for the best service in each category. There are definitely pros and cons to both, and I've found that I'm in a constant battle between the two strategies. As a primarily Apple user, I've been trending towards using their services over the past year as they've improved. Apple's services used to be fairly laughable, but for the large part they have been almost as stable as anything I've used in the past.
Around a month ago, around 7/8 of my bookmarks just disappeared from Safari. I tried to think of every option/setting that I could have accidentally toggled that would cause this to happen. But in the end, it was just a bug with iCloud. I was frustrated at loosing around 70 bookmarks, but I just put it off as a very rare bug (I have never heard of anyone having problems with bookmarks). A few weeks later, as I had rebuilt most of my bookmarks, they all disappeared again but the original ones were back. This left me with duplicates of basically all of my bookmarks.Now I felt like I fell into the camp of people who had legitimate problems with iCloud. I'm not saying that iCloud has major underlying architectural problems. It might, but for the most part it seems to work just fine. But far too often do I find developers on Twitter complaining that iCloud and CloudKit are not what they need to be and are more trouble than they are worth. For me Ulysses is the only app that I have found handles iCloud sync perfectly. All other programs have either had minor hiccups or have flat out not worked. But at this point, even minor hiccups are not acceptable for cloud services. They must be rock solid 100% of the time. Apple is definitely not this reliable, so why have I stuck around on their services? I'm mainly trading reliability for features. Obviously Apple's first party services work really well on their own platforms. Using anything else seems to feel like a hack. Sure I can use Google Services, but they won't feel the same. I can use Google Photos, but when I go to pick a photo in an app that uses UIImagePickerController or any other sort of image picker, its going to show me iCloud photos and not whats in my photos app.
Here are what I would consider the major services categories and the pros and cons of going with Apple vs. the best on the market
Document Storage
I have actually had the least amount of issues with iCloud Drive. I cannot recall any syncing issues or lost files that I've had. If I were to switch to another cloud storage provider, it would probably be Google Drive. I've heard too many complaints about the Dropbox Mac app lately to want to use it, and I don't think I'd be comfortable with any other company. I really don't give a crap about Google having my data, as they haven't fucked up thus far. If I were to move to Google Photos, then I would definitely move to Google Drive to save money. The main benefits now of using iCloud drive are that I can sync my Documents folder and Desktop directly to there. It's worked fine for me so far, but some people are justifiably terrified of this(it probably helps that I keep both of these directories fairly lean). In addition, many apps sync directly to iCloud Drive, which is super handy and makes Handoff work much better.
I actually just recently switched from Apple Music to Spotify, which is probably an entire blog post in and of itself, but I'll sum it up here. I started using streaming services way back when Spotify was in beta in the United States and no one had heard of it. I then moved to Google Play Music because I wanted to upload my own music that wasn't in the streaming catalogue. This was back when I was on Android and I stuck with it until Apple Music came out. I tried Apple Music for the three month trial, but went back to GPM because I found that I really didn't want to deal with iTunes, and the service as a whole just wasn't there yet. However, I switched back to Apple Music in June after the iOS beta came out with a drastically updated UI. I have been fairly satisfied for the past few months, but recently they have started to mismatch my remixes, which if you know me, is the number one way to piss me off. It has been somewhat of a struggle moving my library over to Spotify, but I'm sure this will be ironed out with time. Spotify has many more features than Apple Music, including a great API, a Mac App that isn't iTunes, a web client, and integration with some great DJing apps. The only downsides of leaving Apple Music are that I loose a native Apple TV app and Siri integration. Siri never works for anything, so that doesn't matter, and I can just airplay Spotify to the Apple TV.
Calendar services really don't matter. I am currently on iCloud calendar to be consistent, but I could switch to Google Calendar with almost no effect on my usage. I only access my calendars in Fantastical, and it has equal support for Google and Apple.
Mail & Contacts
My mail service history has been all over the place. I first started out with a normal gmail address. When I wanted to get an email tied to my own domain, then I moved over to Google Apps. This worked alright, but it really showed how Google Apps accounts were different than personal google accounts. I wasn't able to access certain Google features like Google Now and Inbox, so I had to manage two Google Accounts. After that, I decided that I wanted to have a super secure email. This led me to using Protonmail for my email, along with having my existing gmail account and school email forward to this account. I stayed with this for quite a while and was pretty happy. The only problem was they did not support IMAP and I was getting tired of their subpar mobile apps and web interface (but mainly I just wanted to use Nylas N1 on the desktop). So now I've moved to Fastmail. However if Protonmail adds IMAP support, I'll probably move back.
The two main options for cloud photo storage are iCloud Photos and Google Photos. Independently, one could argue that Google Photos is the better service. However, the problem is that on iOS whenever I go to share or use a photo in an app, it pops up the photo selector that includes iCloud photos. In order to upload a photo to instagram or something using Google photos, I would have to download the photo from Google Photos and then go and find it when I upload it in the app. iCloud photos is also nice because it has a native desktop app. So for now, I'm sticking with iCloud Photos
Apple has taken a lot of flak for how they treat AI and machine learning. They argue that there is a way to do it privately, while Google thinks that the more data they have, the more useful they can be to you. The problem is that I think Google is right. And if I want to be able to benefit from what Google is doing in the future, I am going to need to put my data there. I don't really have too much problem with Google knowing everything about me as they probably already do. The next year or two will really decide where my data will be.

It is Week 3 of the Curb Appeal Blog Hop! The first week I shared the 'before' photos and my future plans on how the spruce up the front porch. The second week I shared the newly painted door (from brown to white) and the monogramed decal I added to it. I also shared our newly stained bench (still waiting on the new cushion). Today I am sharing our new outdoor wall light!
I've been wanting to get a new outdoor wall light for our porch for awhile now. I'm not sure how old the existing light was, but we've been at this house for over 10 years and have never replaced it. It was faded and well, it just looked old... it needed to be replaced! I was excited to work with Lamps Plus on finding a new light. They had so many outdoor lighting options. After browsing their site and reading several reviews on various lights, I selected the Bellagio Collection 24" High Outdoor Wall Light. This light came preassembled and is larger than our old light. I love the champagne hammered glass, the scroll design on the top and bottom and the bronze finish.
Comparison Photo:
Here is a comparison photo, in the first photo (left) you'll see the new light and in the second photo (right) you'll see the old light.
And, this is what the light looked like after it was taken off the house. It isn't attractive at all!
My husband was kind enough to install the light and I had him write up a review about the installation and also he added some tips for installing a light. I think you'll enjoy it. :)
Installing a Light
by Mr. Curly Crafty Mom'
Let's face it: Installing a light should be easy. Connect three wires, tighten a bolt or two and you're done. At least, that's what I thought when Curly Crafty Mom dropped this project in my lap. Two hours and a trip to Lowes later, my bubble had been burst. It wasn't the light's fault. It's a nice light. I actually really like the light. It's stylish, well behaved, and cooperated with me the whole time. It really wanted to go on our wall but the wall was having none of it.
Tips for Installing a light:
1. Measure the light's base plate and figure out where your current light attaches to the wall. The light I installed was much larger (19" vs. 8") than the one that was previously on the wall. It attached in the center, while the original light attached at the top. This forced me to take the siding off and move the electrical box down about 6" lower.
2. Wasps like to build nests in electrical boxes, and they don't really like it when you install lights on their wall. This ones's not really a tip but a warning.
3. Siding is easy to take off but hard to put back on. A siding tool makes it much easier. You should just buy one.
4. Caulk makes everything alright. In one of your Lowes trips, buy some caulk the same color as your siding. I used it to fill in any visible gaps and it made the install look much more professional.
5. Connecting the wires is the easy part. Be sure to turn off the electricity first, ideally at the circuit breaker.

FM:Systems, a leading provider of integrated workplace management systems (IWMS) and computer-aided facility management (CAFM) software, today announced support for Autodesk Revit Architecture 2012 and Autodesk Revit MEP 2012 software through an integration with its FM:Interact Workplace Management Suite. The integration lets FM:Interact customers use BIM (Building Information Modeling) data for facility management and operations.
"BIM is revolutionizing the way buildings are designed, built and operated. We are committed to bringing solutions to market that help ensure they are more efficient and sustainable," said Jim Lynch, vice president, Autodesk Building Product Line Group. "We are excited to work with a strategic partner such as FM:Systems who shares our commitment." FM:Systems offers a direct integration with Autodesk Revit products through the BIM Integration Component of FM:Interact, enabling users to connect BIM data from the design and construction phases of the building lifecycle to the facility management and operations phases. FM:Interact uses space information from BIM models and, with this accurate and detailed inventory of space, facilities professionals can better manage occupancy and reduce real estate costs.
FM:Interact's integration with Autodesk's Revit MEP enables maintenance professionals to collect essential information from BIM models on the mechanical, engineering and plumbing systems of a building. MEP model data provides an accurate equipment inventory for these systems and develop maintenance and inspection schedules. This information allows maintenance professionals to better track and maintain critical assets and reduce the lifecycle costs of the building.
"Getting data into maintenance systems has been a time-consuming, costly process," said Marty Chobot, vice president of product management and strategic alliances for FM:Systems. "With our Revit integration, maintenance professionals can now use FM:Interact to quickly create an inventory of building equipment and even start planning maintenance before commissioning the new building."

It is true, I hate most women because I can't get laid. The troubling thing about it is that I have a lot of things going for me. I am a nearly straight A student in the difficult, but promising, fields of mathematics and physics. I also have a good job and make fair money while attending college. I eat health, go to the gym, and take care of myself. I do not look like a male model, but I do not think it is arrogant to say that I am a physically attractive male. I just view this as confidence in my appearance.
My problem is social skills. I have spent some time thinking about it and the best conclusion that I can draw is that I lack social skills for attracting women because I grew up fatherless. Without any male influence in my life I never got a chance to develop the tool bag needed for interacting with the opposite sex. The entire thing is infuriating because my circumstances place me as an outsider in which I can see how much value women place on social skills. There have been several instances where I had crushes on single attractive females, but they instead went for guys that had horrible grades, were not serious about their future, were not attractive, did not take care of their health, were completely broke, yet they had social skills with the opposite sex.
On the larger picture the whole experience has made me think that most women are ignorant creatures that only value one attribute, social skills. Furthermore, all this has made me realize that I may treat women like total crap once I finish college and land a powerful, high paying job. I have really just given up on women, having a relationship, and getting laid. Now I would rather just focus everything on improving myself, my academics, and my future career. So basically fuck you women! I am a manifestation of your own actions because you place way too much value on social skills.
TLDR: I am a stereotypical math and science nerd that lacks social skills, and I hate women for placing guys like me on the bottom of the love, relationship, and sex list
Most Helpful Girl
I know a lot of guys who had fathers and mothers who have terrible social skills. Especially in STEM fields, as it seems to be a brain wiring thing.
If you don't even like girls for more than sex, get a fleshlight. It's cheaper and not stressful.
There are many courses and guides on improving social skills - especially in the realm of social anxiety and Asperger's syndrome which may be helpful, though.

Warner Bros. released a batch of high-res images as part of their 2014 preview.
Images include Godzilla, 300: Rise Of An Empire, The LEGO Movie, Edge Of Tomorrow, Her, Winter's Tale and The Judge.
Check out the images below (click to enlarge and launch viewer).
Her opens January 10, 2014.
Set in Los Angeles in the slight future, "Her" follows Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix), a complex, soulful man who makes his living writing touching, personal letters for other people. Heartbroken after the end of a long relationship, he becomes intrigued with a new, advanced operating system, which promises to be an intuitive and unique entity in its own right. Upon initiating it, he is delighted to meet "Samantha," a bright, female voice (Scarlett Johansson) who is insightful, sensitive and surprisingly funny. As her needs and desires grow, in tandem with his own, their friendship deepens into an eventual love for each other.
From the singular perspective of Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Spike Jonze comes "Her," an original love story that explores the evolving nature—and the risks—of intimacy in the modern world.
Written and directed by Jonze, the romantic drama stars Oscar® nominee Joaquin Phoenix ("The Master," "Walk the Line," "Gladiator"), Oscar® nominee Amy Adams ("The Master," "Doubt"), Oscar® nominee Rooney Mara ("The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo"), Olivia Wilde, and Scarlett Johansson.
"Her" is produced by Megan Ellison, Spike Jonze and Vincent Landay. Daniel Lupi, Natalie Farrey and Chelsea Barnard serve as executive producers.
The film reunites many of Jonze's longtime creative collaborators, including production designer K.K. Barrett, editor Eric Zumbrunnen and costume designer Casey Storm, who worked together on "Where the Wild Things Are," "Adaptation." and "Being John Malkovich." Joining them is director of photography Hoyte Van Hoytema ("Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy"), and editor Jeff Buchanan (HBO's "Tell Them Anything You Want: A Portrait of Maurice Sendak," which Jonze co-directed). The music is composed by Arcade Fire. Additional music by Owen Pallett.
The LEGO Movie opens February 7, 2014
"The LEGO® Movie," the first-ever, full-length theatrical LEGO® adventure, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures, opens in theaters February 7, 2014.
Directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller ("21 Jump Street," "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs"), it stars Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie and Charlie Day, with Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman.
The original 3D computer animated story follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following,
perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.
Chris Pratt ("Moneyball") stars as the voice of Emmet. Will Ferrell ("The Campaign") stars as the voice of his primary adversary, President Business, an uptight CEO who has a hard time balancing world domination with micro-managing his own life; while Liam Neeson ("Taken" and "Taken 2," Oscar nominee for "Schindler's List") voices the president's powerful henchman, known as Bad Cop/Good Cop, who will stop at nothing to catch Emmet.
Starring as Emmet's fellow travelers are Oscar® winner Morgan Freeman ("Million Dollar Baby"), as Vitruvius, an old mystic; Elizabeth Banks ("The Hunger Games," Emmy nominee for "30 Rock"), as tough-as-nails Wyldstyle, who mistakes Emmet for the savior of the world and guides him on his quest; Will Arnett (Emmy nominee, "30 Rock"), as the mysterious Batman, a LEGO minifigure with whom Wyldstyle shares a history; Nick Offerman (NBC's "Parks and Recreation") as a craggy, swaggering pirate obsessed with revenge on President Business; Alison Brie (NBC's "Community") as a sweet, loveable member of the team, with a powerful secret, and Charlie Day as the spaceman Benny.
Directors Phil Lord & Christopher Miller also wrote the screenplay, from a story by Dan Hageman & Kevin Hageman and Phil Lord & Christopher Miller, based on LEGO construction toys. It will incorporate some of the LEGO world's most popular figures while introducing several new characters, inviting fans who have enjoyed the brand's innovative toys and hugely popular video games for generations to experience their visually unique LEGO world as never seen before.

The epic action of "Edge of Tomorrow" unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world.
Lt. Col. Bill Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop—forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again…and again.

I have known Bill Hixon for a long time, and believe he will serve Aiken and Edgefield counties well in State House District 83.
In September 1963, we both were ushered into Ellen Bridges' first-grade class at North Augusta Elementary School. We were good friends then and are good friends today. Bill has always been a people person, but more importantly, he is a person for the people. He is a listener, a collaborator and a problem-solver -- all qualities we need in someone who will work for us in the South Carolina General Assembly.
I have been in education for 30 years -- a teacher and principal at Merriwether Elementary School, a district administrator in Edgefield and Aiken counties and currently superintendent in Saluda County, S.C. Bill values and supports public education. He believes our strongest resource in education today is our teachers -- and I agree wholeheartedly.
It is no secret that the education budget in South Carolina has suffered devastating cuts over the past two years. The budget cuts, which are the most severe of my career, have resulted in teacher and support positions being eliminated; loss of pay for employees in furlough days; and elimination of essential enrichment and remedial programs. Without proper funding our students will suffer.
Bill is committed to providing adequate funding for our schools so that we can retain quality teachers and programs. Additionally, he believes in holding us accountable, assuring the public that education will be kept to a high standard, and assuring our students that they will graduate from high school with the skills necessary to be productive citizens in the 21st century.
I encourage the citizens of House District 83 to vote for Bill Hixon on June 8. A vote for Bill is a vote for education.
David M. Mathis, Ed.D.
North Augusta, S.C.

"Trail Of Lies" (Theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc1Ru0xAO7Q )
Chapter 1: The Trail Begins
{1965 Lorandell City,8:00PM}
In The Streets of Lorandell City, today was the day of "Crescent" which was a half-moon, the people that lived here in Lorandell thought it was a very important day of the moon.
"I am very interested in seeing this event, Mr. Sonata, but then again I'm hoping it will be better then the last." Said Mr. Capeto.
"I'm glad you are, The Crescent Moon has been like our heart and soul here in Lorandell without it we wouldn't be complete." Said Orian Sonata.
So, once the crescent moon appeared all of Lorandell would be as crazy as they would be in new years.
{2010, Lorandell City, 9:00AM, House of the Sonata}
"WOLFF!! Get up, we need to leave to our dad's house its his B-day today." Said Satia.
"I know sis, I'm almost ready give me a few more minutes." Replied Wolff.
Satia went to get her sweater so they would leave, she was older then her brother being 28 years old and her brother being 23.
"Ok sis, I'm ready we can go now." Said Wolff.
"Finally, lets go then." Replied Satia.
They leave off to their father's house.
{Lorandell City, Sonata House of Old aka "Father of the Sonata's", 9:00AM}
"Hi father." Said Satia.
"Oh my why hello you two, I have not seen you two in a very long time now." Replied Sr. Orian.
"Dad, I brought you something that I am working on, its a draft of a poem and its called "Moon of roads", I hope you like it." Said Wolff.
"Oh why thank you son, I will try to read it as soon as possible I promise." Said Sr. Orian.
"Well we should go back to the house now, I need to go to work and Wolff needs to go to his writing school in an hour." Said Satia.
"Ah, well then, I hope you two come back to visit soon though." Said Sr. Orian.
"Well, dad dont you worry." Replied Wolff.

How can I preload data from a database into the Jotform formAsked by MiklosCCI on August 01, 2016 at 07:21 AM
I would like to link my database (Excel), then fill the Jotform form with data from my Excel database, letting the possibility for my customer to correct some of these data in the form.
Please tell me, how can I link my form with such data set.
JotForm Support
I am not sure how your process flow works. An excel file is a separate file in a local storage. There's no way for a form submission to directly interact or update an existing Excel file.
However, we do have some apps and integration that might help.
Option #1: You can integrate your form to Google Spreadsheet, that allows you to have an online spreadsheet where the submissions will directly be saved, you can also allow your users to edit their submission which will also reflect on the online spreadsheet.
Option #2: You can use this app ReportsToCloud, that should allow you to receive an updated excel file o your submissions on your Dropbox folder.
To learn more about JotForm's other reports creation, you can check this guide link: https://www.jotform.com/help/326-How-To-Create-Form-Reports-in-JotForm
I hope that helps.

Thank you Charlie,
I succeded importing the list as a submission list. I wonder how could I show the submission to each respondent of their submission, then let them to modify it.
The flow is the following: I have some contact details, and I want to know more about the respondents opinion and to let them modify their contact details. This means the form should show, based on the email address where the form is shown, the contact details of the specific respondent.
And of course, our respondent should see only their own pre-populated form, and be able to modify only their own pre-populated form.
Their feedback, data modification should registrate in my submission database
JotForm Support
If you want to let your users to modify your form after submission. It is possible with {edit_link} function. Please, check the guide below for more information:
If you have any question or issues, please do not hesitate contacting us. We will be glad to assist you.
Thank you Beril,
In the form what the receiver get will contain many details about him, what I already have, and I want to be in the form. But I also want to let the receiver to update his details (address, phone, etc.).
I don't want my receivers to modify the form, but only the submission details.
And one user only his information, not all submission
More details: Let say I am A. A wants to send a form to B, C, ... X.
A wants to include in the form some text input and some check boxes.
In the form A wants to tell B that I have some info about B (address, phone, email etc.). B should be able to change address of B. Then A wants to let B to submit these information.
C will see the contact details about C, but C will not change anything, but will submit some check boxes. A also want this information to collect in a database, in the same database where B and C had submitted their information.
C and B will not be able to see each other information.
JotForm Support
I am not sure that I understand your workflow correctly. As far as I understand from your thread, you want to allow users to edit selected Data only in their responses while they are modifying form after submission, unfortunately, it is not possible with Jotform. However, I will search your request and if I find a solution for you I will update you from this thread.
Many thanks Beril,
I don't want to let anyone to modify the form. I want respondents of the form to see some information what they can sometimes to modify. All submitted data, and the modification should arrive in that submission database. Also I am talking about 10-15 fields contact database. This is why I don't want to put my respondents to answer by typing in these information, as I already have data from a previous year.
JotForm Support
Hello Miklos,

Madagascar Community Service
High School | 18 Days
Trip Highlights
Community Service Projects
Home to leaping lemurs and pinkie- sized chameleons, this island nation situated on Africa's southeast coast is recognized by scientists as one of the most biologically diverse places on Earth. Settle into a research center near Ranomafana founded by a National Geographic grantee, and work to preserve the unique surrounding ecosystems through a variety of conservation service projects, capturing your experience through photography, film, and writing. Then cross the island to the dramatic landscapes of Isalo National Park, and cap on the trip swimming in its sparkling natural pools.
Days 1-2
Begin in the capital city of Antananarivo, or "Tana" as the locals call it, with an afternoon of orientation and exploration. Learn about the rich cultural and ecological history of the island as we start to prepare for our community service projects.
Community Service Site
Days 3-12
Head southeast towards Ranomafana National Park, home to at least a dozen lemur species and part of a UNESCO World Heritage site that covers six rain forest areas across eastern Madagascar. Settle into our home in the jungle, the Centre ValBio, a world- renowned research center founded by National Geographic grantee Patricia Wright, one of the world's leading experts on lemurs. Here, we'll work alongside local conservation clubs and schools on a variety of eco-service projects. Get your hands dirty planting trees for a reforestation project, and learn about the uses of medicinal plants. Spend time with community members working on local solutions to promote wildlife conservation. Paddle in a kayak looking for rare bird species, or trek through the rain forest with scientists from the Centre ValBio, learning to assess habitat conditions and analyze primate behavior. Work with your peers to document your service work through photos, writing or video. Craft a story about conservation challenges facing Madagascar's rain forest, or profile one of the island's unique species. In the afternoon, take a break from your services projects and hike to a waterfall within Ranomafana National Park, or interview artisans about Malagasy culture at a market in Ranomafana village.
Isalo National Park
Days 13-18
Travel to Anja Community Reserve in search of ring-tailed lemurs, and then continue to Isalo National Park, known for its wild sandstone formations and dramatic canyons. In the company of a knowledgeable guide, hike through Isalo's incredible landscapes and find out why parts of the park are sacred to the local Bara people. Cool off in its turquoise natural swimming pools and watch the sunset light up the striking desert landscape. As our expedition winds down, we'll share our photos and stories and reflect on Madagascar's incredible natural diversity— and the efforts we've contributed to that are helping preserve this unique and fragile island. Travel back to Ranomafana for a final night before continuing to Tana to catch our flight home.
While working at our community service site, the group sleeps in dormitory-style accommodations. We stay in a comfortable lodge while visiting Isalo National Park.
