Will more football fans go on Kilimanjaro treks thanks to ad campaign?
Tourism officials hope a new advertising campaign focused on football grounds will encourage more people to enjoy holidays to Tanzania this year.
The scheme has seen the country plough $700,000 (£454,578) into digital marketing at Premier League stadiums such as Blackburn Rovers' Ewood Park and Stoke City's Britannia Stadium, reports BBC Sport.
Soccer supporters may have already noticed messages encouraging them to go on Kilimanjaro treks or enjoy safari holidays in the east African nation.
In total, 114 games will be targeted by the campaign, meaning it is likely to reach millions of people attending the matches or watching on television.
Aloyce Nzuki, executive director at the Tanzania Tourist Board, remarked: "We believe using the Premier League is one of the best ways of promoting our tourism industry."
The body reportedly hopes to boost tourism numbers to more than 100,000 over the next 12 months.
Travellers could be inspired to book one of The Adventure Company's holidays to Tanzania by the campaign - the Kilimanjaro Trek - Machame Route will challenge even the hardiest of climbers.
It offers sweeping views of the Kibo National park and ice fields.
We offer some exciting choices of trekking holidays for you to discover
We've over 250 adventures worldwide & take 10,000 travellers away annually. We've been operating over 15 years & pioneered the concept of family adventures.
We go on most of our holidays so can offer excellent firsthand advice. Last year 90% of passengers rated our trip 'excellent' or 'good'

A rock concert in rocky surrounds at an alpine height - so beautiful some who see it reportedly cry - is to be staged for a third year early next month.
The full-day affair is limited to 180 tickets and includes brunch and bubbles before a helicopter trip to a location on Cecil Peak at an altitude of exactly one mile above Queenstown.
This is followed by a gourmet barbecue lunch, a flight off the mountain and an after-party at Jack's Point Clubhouse.
The full price of Over the Top Rock is $650, although pre-release tickets are available online at $595 for the March 4 concert.
Helicopter company Over the Top founder, pilot and chief executive Louisa Patterson said the event usually sold out, with a mix of people snapping up tickets.
She said she had been in the helicopter industry for 35-plus years and had never heard of such an event.
''It was my idea because I had been taking people there and it lent itself to a rock concert,'' Ms Patterson said.
''We are lucky in the Southern Lakes to be blessed with a natural amphitheatre in the mountains.''
Like any outdoor concert, the event was at the mercy of the skies, but she said a second alpine site was available at a lower level ''in case the mountain tops are in bad weather''.
Getting equipment such as barbecues to the location was challenging - they have to be transported in pods - and the limited number of tickets was purely because of the logistics of ferrying guests to and from the concert by helicopter.
However, once equipment was in place, the helicopters flew off, and the band started to play, she said.
''It's just magical.''
''But I suppose you just have to be there because it's really hard to explain how extraordinary it is.''
Lynch Mob and Tom Maxwell will perform Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and the Beatles' Abbey Road songs.
Pink Floyd was a ''personal favourite'' and members of the band had visited the concert location.
''We were hoping that one of those visits would coincide with one of the concerts but it's not going to,'' Ms Patterson said.

I have been a member of the board of directors of Central Contra Costa Transit Authority (aka County Connection), representing Martinez, since 1998.
Over the years I have seen many changes in how transit services are provided in the East Bay. Our buses are less polluting and more fuel efficient. Some are hybrids that utilize the heat of braking to generate electricity. But even more exciting is the institution of the Bus Tracker system throughout the fleet.
Last summer when David Shen heard County Connection would offer real-time bus arrival prediction, he began to spread the word among his co-workers at Chevron in Bishop Ranch.
Bus Tracker has now been installed on all of County Connection's fixed-route buses and the software uses GPS location data to predict arrival times. Buses transmit their location every 30 seconds via the Sprint network enabling Bus Tracker to predict arrival times and make bus location information available to the public on the Web.
"Bus drivers really do a good job of keeping the buses on time in normal traffic conditions," said Shen, a regular County Connection passenger, "but all it takes is a little fender bender during the commute hour for the freeways to back up. Since Bus Tracker went live last December, I've been able to completely eliminate my wait time at the stop."
All passengers need is access to the Internet to see where buses are on the route, and to see when the next bus is predicted to arrive at a stop.
The map view uses the familiar Google map as a base to show buses progressing along the transit routes. Riders can view the upcoming bus arrival times by selecting any bus stop in the system.
"Near the end of my day, I open Bus Tracker on my computer or smartphone and keep an eye on the next bus as I finish up, then time my departure based on when the bus is due to arrive," continued Shen. "County Connection deserves kudos for installing this system."
The implementation of Bus Tracker is the latest upgrade to County Connection's onboard computer system. Having real-time arrival information is particularly important for a suburban system because the bus comes less often than in an urban area.
"The new system is more appealing to new riders because the uncertainty is removed," said Anne Muzzini, director of planning at County Connection. "We have come to expect up-to-date, current information via the Web, and County Connection riders now have this for their bus route."
Because customer service agents can see where buses are and what the predicted arrival time is, even riders without access to the Internet can have more accurate information. Prior to being able to use Bus Tracker, customer service agents relied on the "scheduled" times. Now they can see if a bus is caught in traffic.
Another feature of Bus Tracker allows users to set up personal accounts by registering in Bus Tracker and to receive personalized arrival alerts. Just click the Bus Tracker icon on County Connection's home page — www.countyconnection.com — to access Bus Tracker. The link on the Bus Tracker home page (top right) is used to create a user account.
Once riders set up their account they may select one or more stops to be monitored, and then instruct the application to forward them email or text messages with estimated bus arrival times at those stops.
"Setting up your account to receive service alerts is easy," said Muzzini. "The steps involved in selecting a stop to be monitored are the same as those used when locating a stop on the Bus Location Map. Simply choose a route, direction on the route, and then a stop from the pull-down list in each field. Once the stop has been selected, just specify when you wish to receive the email or text message."
Riders can also receive multiple alerts of the arrival times, after the initial specified time, by checking the "Repeat Every" box and selecting an interval. Timing of alerts may be modified or deleted at any time.
For assistance with Bus Tracker or to get information on bus routes from the customer service staff, call 925-676-7500.
Schroder is the mayor of Martinez. Email him at firstname.lastname@example.com. Mary Burdick of CCCTA contributed to this column.

Five places to find Turkish delights
Published 12:37 pm, Friday, June 21, 2013
Birthplace of Father Christmas, fable writer Aesop and the ancestors of medical talk show wizard Dr. Oz, the Ottoman Empire was founded by Turkish tribes in 1299. Legend has it Agri Dagi - a.k.a. Mount Ararat, eastern Turkey's snow-capped dormant volcanic dome - provided a safe landing spot for Noah's Ark. And Nutella fans, take note: 70 percent of the world's hazelnuts are grown on Turkish trees. At a time when travel to Turkey is not for everyone, here are five West Coast locations where Turkish culture delights close to home.

wikiHow to Build the Ultimate Pokémon Team
Two Methods:Forming a powerful leadForming a team of stallersCommunity Q&A
Here is how to build the ultimate Pokémon team.
Forming a powerful lead
1You will need a powerful lead to strike down part of the foe's team. It is a good strategy, knocking out half of the foe's team and letting in other Pokémon.
2One of best Pokémon for this is Deoxys in Attack Mode. Attach a Life Orb to it to boost the power of its moves. Max out its offensive stats. A recommended move set is Fire Punch, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, and Psychic/Psycho Boost. (Psychic is more reliable because it does not lower stats, but if you do not care about the recoil or plan on switching, use Psycho Boost.) Use the appropriate moves on foes, and sweep until Life Orb damage or a priority move K.Os you. Be aware that this Pokémon is not defensive, even quick attack will make it faint. However, it has a great speed and attacking stats, and will K.O. most Pokémon in one or two hits.
3Use Timid/Modest Arceus to K.O. whatever is left of your foe's team. Use Calm Mind to stat up, Judgment for powerful and reliable STAB, and Flamethrower and Earth Power for great coverage. Attach a Splash or Draco Plate to give Arceus a great offensive typing with Judgment.
4Rayquaza. Use Jolly Nature to make it strong. Attach a Persim berry to heal confusion from Outrage. Earthquake and Fly are for good neutral and Stab coverage.
5Modest or Timid Darkrai. Use Dark Void, Dark Pulse, Dream Eater, & Nasty Plot. Put your foe to sleep with Dark Void, then use Dream Eater. Dark Pulse is a STAB move to use on Psychics & Ghosts, & is almost unresistant in the ubers.
6Timid Dialga. Use Aura Sphere, Earth Power, Flash Cannon, Roar of Time/Dragon Pulse Adamant Orb, and Leftovers. Dragon Pulse can be used over Roar of Time if you don't want to waste a turn after Rot, Flash Cannon is a good STAB, and Aurora Sphere and Earth Power are powerful moves with good neutral damage. Adamant Orb will boosts moves power, and Leftovers can keep it healthy for while.
7Modest or Timid Mewtwo with Aura Sphere, Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, Psystrike, and Wise Glasses or Choice Specs. Both items boost power for all its Special moves, Thunderbolt will take out Water Pokémon, Flamethrower K.O.s Grass Pokémon, and Aura Sphere takes out Dark Pokémon and is a good move that almost never misses. Psystrike is a good STAB, very powerful, and can take out many Pokémon.
Forming a team of stallers
1Blissey is a good choice. She can take even Close Combats and live, then cripple the opponent with Thunder Wave or slowly kill them with Toxic. However, it's a bad idea to let her take Focus Punch or Close Combat, so use a good physical defense Pokémon. If you choose Blissey, run Seismic Toss or a special move like Ice Beam or Flamethrower/Toxic/Soft-Boiled/Attract or Minimize.
2Poison Pokémon are good stallers as well. They can take Toxic and have 100 percent accuracy on it. Most get some attacking moves, and can usually only be walled by a good Steel Pokémon.
3Umbreon makes an awesome Wish passer, and can dish out Payback with Wish/Toxic/Payback/Guard Swap. Vaporeon is also good with Defense, and gains access to Acid Armor. Run Acid Armor/Toxic/Baton Pass/Calm Mind.
4Gourgeist-super with Phantom Force/Will-o-Wisp/Synthesis/Toxic can only be killed off by Heatran.
5Run a Ground type to take care of Heatran, which can wall near everything on a stall team.
6Fairies are basically the Arceus of taking a special hit, so use one. Suggestion: Mawile. That thing, with the right EV spread, can take Earthquake and Blast Burn, Combined. Although, it does make a better physical sweeper than staller, but it gets Earthquake. Use it with Sucker Punch/Play Rough /Earthquake/Iron Head. Or, to be annoying, give it Sing instead of Sucker Punch. Run a Mawilite if you're in gen 6.
7Finally, Milotic is a strong defensive choice. Use Cute Charm to disable multiple attacks, and then run Surf/Ice Beam/Toxic/Recover to defeat near everything. Give it Leftovers or a sitrus Berry.

- Always bring strong IV and EV trained Pokémon into battle.
- If you don't want to use these particular Pokémon, you could try making your team all mega evolvers.
If you faint with these pokemon, then you are going to have to get a better team. It may take a lot of work, so be careful.

Ilan Stavans and Cristina Garcia join us for a new look at the best of Latino literature, in a new Norton Anthology.
America's fastest-growing minority – Hispanics – comes with many things, including a literature all its own. It's a vast literature, from the days of the earliest explorers of the Americas to "How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents", "The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love" and "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao."
It's a literature of history, and a literature of this moment. "If Walt Whitman could hear America singing now, he would be dancing to this beat," says Barbara Kingsolver.
Cultural critic Ilan Stavans and author Cristina Garcia join us to talk about the heart of Latino lit.
-Tom Ashbrook
Ilan Stavans, professor in Latin America and Latino Culture at Amherst College. He's author of "Gabriel Garcia Marquez: The Early Years" and the general editor of the new "Norton Anthology of Latino Literature." You can read an excerpt from the introductory essay.

After a promo shot for series 5 of Downton Abbey was posted online earlier this week, eagle-eyed fans were quick to point out a historical inaccuracy in the shot - a rogue bottle of water sitting on the mantelpiece. The criticism snowballed and before producers knew it there were Twitter memes mocking the error. But now the cast have responded to the mistake in the best way possible.
Cast members including Michelle Dockery, Hugh Bonneville and Laura Carmichael posed for a guilty-looking picture , holding bottles of water, which was posted to the Downton Facebook page. Dame Maggie Smith was the only cast member missing, presumably because she had a prior engagement.
The photo was in the name of charity, WaterAid, as the caption explained: "The cast of Downton Abbey embraced 'water bottle-gate' today by posing for a picture to promote the work of international charity WaterAid.
"A publicity still released this week hit the headlines when a plastic water bottle was spotted in the corner of the picture," it added. " The official photograph of The Earl and Lady Edith was cropped and used during the launch of the new season, but it was when an un-cropped version of the image worked its way onto the internet that it sparked a global press frenzy."
Loving this. Bring on the next season of the hit show - we'll be watching out for any era-inappropriate props, though!

By all means assert yourself and be creative but do so in a way that does not alienate other people. It's your life and you are entitled to do with it what you see fit but try to see how other people, especially those you love, might be affected by your actions.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
You will have so much energy at your disposal this weekend that you must find a positive outlet for it. Focus on creative activities and affairs of the heart and, whatever else you do, make sure you get plenty of excitement in your life.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
Expect many changes over the next 48 hours, both those you are happy with and those you would avoid if you possibly could. Certain people may at times annoy you but don't lose your temper – it's simply not worth the effort.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
Don't waste time arguing the toss with people whose views you do not respect. You know what is right and what is wrong and that's all that matters – you certainly don't have to try to persuade those who can't see the truth.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
A new moon in the financial area of your chart means there will be changes in your money situation. Whether they are good changes or bad changes remains to be seen but in the long-term you should gain more than you lose.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
Today's new moon will give you a new perspective on your long-term aims and ambitions, so don't hold on too tightly to plans you have already made. Whatever it is you have to give up, what replaces it will be infinitely better.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
You may look calm on the outside but on the inside you are a raging inferno and what happens over the next 48 hours will bring your feelings to the boil. That's good. It isn't healthy to keep all that emotion bottled up inside.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
Things may not be working out exactly as you hoped they would but there is no need to change direction. Cosmic activity in one of the better areas of your chart this weekend will put everything right and you'll soon be smiling again.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
As Mars moves into your birth sign this weekend you may be tempted to tear everything down and start again from scratch but is that such a good idea? Don't waste all your previous efforts – strengthen them and build on them.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
If you feel strongly about something then act on it. Yes, it may make you unpopular in certain circles but that's not important. What matters is that you can look in the mirror in the morning and like what you see. Principles matter.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
It would not be wise to take chances with money this weekend but, on the other hand, you should make far-reaching plans. The course of action you decide on now will pay dividends later on but don't be tempted by risky investments.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
Why do you put up with a certain individual's behaviour? Is it because you are too nice? Or is it because you fear a backlash if you try to get tough? Either way, the situation cannot be allowed to continue, so get on top of it.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
Don't make a big issue of what you are expected to do this weekend. Yes, of course, it's a pain but the planets promise if you make a good job of it you will do your reputation no harm at all. Take pride in your work.

The August 2 sleepover for nine-through-eleven-year-olds was one of the most anticipated events of the Miami Beach Parks and Recreation Department's eight-week day camp. Campers at the Scott Rakow Youth Center had been promised dancing, a pizza party, swimming, pinatas, the requisite ghost stories, and a complete disregard for regular bedtimes.
Nothing, though, compared to the expectation of Kangaroo Court, for more than 25 years a highlight of the program's sleepovers. In the activity, the counselors preside over a mock court and "try" the children on various charges such as "using the pay phone too much" or "biggest whiner." Deliberations are nonexistent and conviction is immediate. As for sentencing, the guilty are doused with a bucketful of food. This year a borscht-based brew was reserved for lesser infractions, a milky mixture was splashed on for more serious wrongdoings, and a chocolate-syrup slime was the penalty for the most heinous offenses. Some children were also "punished" with time in wading pools full of ice water and shaving cream.
According to Steven Reiz, the center's recreation director, two hours of these hasty proceedings was not time enough to try the 60 kids individually, so the remaining campers were summarily convicted and drenched in groups. The orderly proceedings then disintegrated, as planned, into a free-for-all water-balloon and shaving-cream fight.
"They poured all these disgusting things over the children; it was really disgusting but it was good," says eight-year-old Emily Laurence, who participated in Kangaroo Court for the first time this summer and says it was her favorite part of the sleepover.
But at least two campers didn't find any joy in the dregs. "That was my worst time during the summer," says ten-year-old Constance Johnson, who was subjected to a communal dousing. "I felt like I was in the garbage for two weeks and never took a bath." Both she and a friend, eleven-year-old Sussan Cohen, say they were never given an opportunity to back out of the activity. Reiz says the counselors were instructed to tell their assigned groups that the activity was optional, and that several children chose to sit out. "As for every single child being told by their counselor, I can't vouch for that," he admits.
At about 12:30 a.m., after the kids showered and swam and were gearing up for ghost stories, the two distraught girls called their parents to come pick them up. Constance's father, Paul Johnson, Jr., was less than pleased with what he saw and heard. "When I arrived, I found her soaking wet, shivering from cold and fear - fear of retribution from the ~~`coaches,'" he wrote in a two-page letter to Bonnie LeMay, director of the youth center. From the "horror stories" his daughter told him about Kangaroo Court, Johnson wrote, he gathered that the campers had been "intimidated or terrorized."
Johnson, who moved to Miami Beach this summer, demanded the resignation of LeMay and the twelve overnight supervisors, and wrote, "Two-hundred-pound counselors dumping swill on the heads of ten-year-old girls does not appear to be faithful adherence to the objectives of the Youth Center.... If this type of program is representative of Miami Beach values, I am sure that I want no part of it. And I am doubly sure that I do not want my tax dollars going to such activities." Funded in part by the city and by a $196 fee per child, the day camp is open to Miami Beach residents and to nonresidents who attend a Miami Beach school.
Johnson took issue with the lawless nature of Kangaroo Court, a term that originated on the nineteenth-century American frontier, where judges had to cover a large territory and were paid on the basis of how far they traveled and how may trials they conducted. "I questioned the validity of such a tradition in Miami Beach or anywhere in 1991," he says. "The idea is to get the children away from violence and arbitrariness. They get enough of that on the street. It seems to me kangaroo courts went out some years ago."
Johnson met with LeMay and William Irvine, the director of the Miami Beach Parks and Recreation Department, to discuss his complaint, which Irvine says was the first formal objection ever to Kangaroo Court. "We don't want any participants feeling intimidated or put upon," Irvine says. "When someone tells us something like this, we want to be very sensitive about it."
"It caught us off guard, it was really out of the blue," declares LeMay, the youth center's director for the past thirteen years. "Kangaroo Court has been in existence for so long and it's so well liked, it's been a standard part of summer programming." Parks and Recreation Department officials met with the counselors and also interviewed several girls who'd participated in the sleepover, all of whom said they'd heard the disclaimer before Kangaroo Court but had participated with relish.

Then, in a remarkable display of civic responsiveness, Irvine canceled Kangaroo Court. In an August 26 letter to Johnson, he wrote: "The majority of input from other participants indicated that a very structured and organized series of activites took place that evening.... However, after careful review and consideration of the sleepover's itinerary, `Kangaroo Court' will not be held in the future so as to avoid any possible misinterpretation, or the potential impression of intimidation that even one member of this age group may feel."
In its place, LeMay says, the recreation officials decided to design a game based on the Nickelodeon network's game show Double Dare, in which teams of children compete against each other to complete a task where messy food is usually the operative component.
But the decision to do away with Kangaroo Court has left more than a few people disconsolate. "I've never had a child go through it and have a complaint about it," says Emily Laurence's mother, Claudia, who has washed Kangaroo Court debris from four of her children's clothes. "I'm sorry it was taken away. I think the kids enjoyed it. They liked getting rowdy, they liked getting dirty."
LeMay and Reiz, both of whom were defendants in Kangaroo Court when they were kids, remember the thrill of the activity and express their disappointment at its demise. Reiz, a youth center employee for eleven years, recalls how one summer he had a collision with another camper and accidently sank his teeth into the boy's knee. He was convicted of "biting below the waist" and had to sit in ice-cold water. "I obviously think it does nothing but enhance the program, it does nothing but increase the enrollment," Reiz insists.

The recent Reality Rally fundraiser generated tens ofthousands of dollars in donations and brand name awareness forMichelle's Place, a nonprofit breast cancer resource center inTemecula.
"The exposure has been phenomenal," said Kim Goodnough, the nonprofit's director, on Tuesday.
The rally, held in mid-April at various locations in Temecula and Wine Country, was orchestrated by Gillian Larson, a Temecula resident who appeared on "Survivor: Gabon."
More than 100 reality TV stars flocked to the Temecula Valley to compete alongside teams of local residents in a competition that married elements of "Amazing Race," "Survivor" and a treasure hunt.
Staging the event was costly ---- Goodnough estimated that the price tag exceeded a half-million dollars ---- but the list of expenses was pared down considerably by the generosity of local businesses that donated their services or wares.
Although organizers are still tallying receipts, Goodnough said the event generated more than $30,000 in donations for Michelle's Place.
More valuable in some ways, she said, was getting the organization's name in front of a whole new group of people.
"Not only are women who need us finding out about us, a lot of people in other states are learning about what Michelle's Place does," she said. "I'm still getting emails from people who were in some way involved in the event. They're saying, 'Hey, we want to help' or 'Hey, have you thought about expanding this program?'"
Larson, during a phone interview Tuesday, said it was awesome to see everything that had been planned for more than a year come together.
"It was as I hoped the whole vision would be," she said, adding that the scale of the event, bolstered by the work of 400 local volunteers, wowed her fellow reality stars. "I'm so in awe actually, how the whole event was embraced by the reality community."
Pointing to traffic on the Reality Rally website, Larson said the last stats she received showed hits from 96 countries. And donations were received from around the world as well: 31 states and seven countries.
Looking forward to next year's event, scheduled again for a weekend in mid-April, Larson said she hopes to build on this year's figures and raise even more money and awareness for Michelle's Place.
Later in the day Tuesday, Larson appeared at the Temecula City Council meeting to show a video recap of the event. The meeting also featured a visit from Murrieta city officials wearing "I Love Temecula" shirts.
The officials were forced to don the shirts and read an ode of praise for the city of Temecula because they finished behind Temecula's team in the rally.
The winner of the rally was called Team Nguyen-It-Ha and it featured Kendra Guffey, a reality TV star who appeared on the show "Pirate Master."
Larson said the winners, local folks who had family members who volunteered during the event, donated their $300 in prize money back to Michelle's Place.

Your adventure begins when you book a cheap flight from Canada to Haiti with Air Transat! Save on airfare by searching the best prices on flights.
Flights to Haiti are easy to book with Air Transat. Before planning a trip, be sure to check the schedule below, as some routes may be seasonal.
Independent since 1804, Haiti was the first black republic in the world. Tropical vegetation, coral reefs, multicoloured fish, waterfalls and grottos are just a few reasons to book a flight to Port-au-Prince airport and tour this beautiful country.
Seeing Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital city, aboard a tap-tap (minibus) is a must. Numerous art galleries, artisanal boutiques, good restaurants and quality hotels can be found in Pétionville.
The 2-km Pointe-Ouest Beach is Haiti's most legendary. It's ideal for swimming, snorkelling or relaxing on the white sand. Coco Beach, near Labadie, is one of the Caribbean's principal seaside resorts.
Many of Haiti's islands are acclaimed, notably Gonâve Island and Tortuga. Île à Vaches, in addition to its beauty, is overflowing with archaeological relics. Several boats have also sunk on the reefs to the north-east of the island.
Haiti is endowed with two mountain ranges, in the north and in the south. The Pic la Selle peaks at a height of 2680 metres. Bassin Bleu and its mountain river can be found just north of Jacmel.
The Hinche caves are a must-see when visiting Haiti. 30 metres high, the Zim waterfall pours into a dazzling blue pool. Pictograms attributed either to the Amerindians or to African slaves can be seen in the caves.
Jacmel's Carnival is very popular, and the one in Port-au-Prince is a draw because of its music and dancing. At Easter, there's a celebration of the sea in Pestel. In all of Haiti's towns, "rara" processions (voodoo) begin during Lent. Country fairs and patron saint festivities coincide with voodoo celebrations.
Cap Haitien is a town situated in the north of Haiti. Rich in history and architecture, this community is a draw for tourists interested in getting to know the country's culture.
Situated 45 minutes north of Port-au-Prince, Côte des Arcadins is essentially a long stretch of white-sand beaches bordered by hotels and seaside resorts. Foodies love the area's seafood and Creole cuisine.
Your adventure begins when you book a cheap flight or a cheap package with Air Transat! Save on airfare by searching the best prices on flights and packages.
Discount airfare to Haiti from Air Transat helps travellers make the most of every trip. Explore the destinations below and find out everything you need to know before planning your dream holiday.
Port-Au-Prince: A Miraculous Revival
Haiti was virtually destroyed by an earthquake in 2010 and has been rebuilding ever since. The capital, Port-Au-Prince, has shown a brave face, and a renewed energy has come back to the city. Through it all, the people have remained warm and proud.
Haiti's official currency is the Haitian Gourde (HTG), but American dollars are also accepted, especially in centres of tourism. Canadian money cannot be exchanged at destination. The ATMs only provide local currency (Haitian gourde). Credit cards are also often accepted. However, it is best to notify your bank before your trip to avoid declined transactions.
All foreign nationals arriving in Haiti will be required to pay a US $10, CAD $10 or €10 tourist fee in cash only (subject to change). Must be made by passengers upon their arrival at the Port au Prince airport.
Haiti's official languages are Haitian Creole and French. English is also understood in centres of tourism.
Remember to pack sunblock and insect repellent.
To get information regarding passports and all necessary visas, please visit the country travel advice and advisories of the Government of Canada.
To obtain information concerning vaccines, please visit the Public Health Agency of Canada
Weather in Haiti can vary throughout the year. The chart below indicates monthly average temperatures and rainfall so travellers can plan the perfect vacation at the right time and pack accordingly.

"I am having trouble converting My MXF HD 1080i 50 1920 x 1080 files. I shot it on a Sony PMW 200-XD CAM. I am converting but it converts all pixilated.
I haven't had trouble converting before in 720p but this is the first time I've tried 1080 and it doesn't look good at all. I am worried because this footage is from a fairly large budget music clip and editing in iMovie needs to be started immediately.
Please help!"
The PMW-200 has joined Sony's XDCAM HD422 series of professional camcorders which is capable of recording 50 Mbps MPEG HD422 Codec video footage using its UDF file system and exports superior image and video quality. Due to the newly developed 1/2-inch Exmor CMOS sensors which enhance resolution, sensitivity, dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio, Sony PMW200 XDCAM has become new favorite to many professional photographers. While there might be difficulty importing Sony PMW200 XDCAM MXF footage to video editing program such as iMovie 8/9/11 on Mac because iMovie does not support MXF as source media. You'd better to transcode Sony PMW200 XDCAM MXF footage to iMovie compatible .MOV format first.
How to transcode Sony PMW200 XDCAM MXF footage to iMovie 8/9/11?
Step 1. Add Sony PMW200 XDCAM MXF files.
Download and install free Pavtube XDCAM MXF to iMovie Converter for Mac, drag and drop your Sony XDCAM MXF videos from local computer to Pavtube application.
Step 2. Choose output format for iMovie 8/9/11.
Pavtube Sony XDCAM MXF Converter offers plenty of video editing program acceptable formats, and you are recommended to choose "iMovie and Final Cut Express" > "Apple Intermediate Codec(AIC) (*.MOV)" for getting iMovie MOV files.
1. You can adjust video parameters to meet your request, like resolution, video codec, bit rate, frame rate, etc.
2. Tick the checkbox "Merge into one file" on main surface, and the Mac Sony XDCAM MXF Converter will join and combine the video clips into a single file as output. Meanwhile, you could split one large MXF video into several smaller files.
3. You could also edit Sony XDCAM MXF video clips before conversion starts, like trim, crop video clips, add watermark or effect to the videos.
Step 3. Start Sony PMW200 XDCAM MXF to iMovie conversion.
Check and make sure all above steps are settled down, click the "Convert" button and conversion of Sony XDCAM MXF to iMovie begins. Once finished, you could locate the converted MOV files and transfer Sony PMW200 XDCAM MXF footage to iMovie 8/9/11 for video editing.

A suspect was wounded as he tried to break into a north Phoenix home Friday afternoon.
Police said the suspect jumped a fence and tried to get in the home near 34th Lane and Brown Street about 3:30 p.m., but was stopped briefly by the homeowner who shot him several times. The suspect ran off and police believe there was a woman waiting nearby to pick him up.
Police got a call from a John C. Lincoln hospital saying the suspect had been brought in by a woman who police believe is also a suspect in the crime. The car that they drove into the hospital is also being investigated by the police.
Police said charges are pending.
The suspect's identity has not been released at this time, but police say he's a 44-year-old man.

Green Scene: El Niño could increase garden pests this spring
El Niño is back. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Climate Prediction Center reports that El Niño has gained slightly above-average strength over the Pacific Ocean since December, signaling that its effects might persist into the spring. What that means to gardeners in the Washington area and the Southeastern states is the possibility of wetter weather than usual.
I'm sure that spring will be glorious, as it always is in this region. But a wet El Niño winter can cause more disease and insect problems when spring arrives. Aphids will no doubt get a head start because they can thrive in wet weather. A few more cold spells before winter's end would help control them. More pests perish when their life cycles are interrupted by severe cold. Boxelder bugs, for example, will emerge during warm spells in winter to feed and mate, so freezing temperatures will keep their numbers lower.
Plant pests can be viruses, fungi, bacteria, insects, birds, mammals, Mother Nature and even weeds -- anything that will severely injure or kill an ornamental plant. Here are some predictions for insect or disease problems that could occur on a variety of plants this spring:
Rhododendrons and some azaleas, mountain laurels, leucothoes and Japanese pieris might show signs of wilting, and you might even experience a loss of some shrubs as the season progresses. The problem is caused by one of several soil-borne fungi. These fungi are active during periods of excessive moisture and cool temperatures. In past years, I have helplessly watched rhododendrons wilt and die throughout the winter -- single branches at a time. I hope this conjecture is wrong, because there is no cure.
One possible way to avoid such root-rot diseases is to keep soil well-drained and airy. Dig a generous amount of composted leaves or other organic material into affected areas as soon as the soil is dry enough. Install shrubs in these areas high; simply set them on the ground and lay compost and soil over the roots. For plants already in the ground, create better drainage and aeration by digging leaf compost six to eight inches deep and wide in line with the edge of the plant's branch spread.
Dogwoods' greatest threats are spot anthracnose and root-rot diseases, both of which are worse during cool, wet springs. The anthracnose fungus appears as raised spots with red margins on leaves and flowers. If you are certain you've had a severe problem in the past, contact a landscape-contracting company that has a certified pesticide applicator before leaves emerge.
Root-rot diseases affecting dogwoods aren't curable, but they are preventable. Dig a wide planting hole prepared with generous amounts of leaf compost and plant the root ball high (with one-third above ground), mounding leaf mold over the roots above ground.
Hemlock: Woolly adelgids are a seriously distressing nemesis to hemlocks, and the reason I've been hesitant to recommend these trees in landscape designs for almost 20 years. These insects hatch in February and March during normal winters. Perhaps there will be another cold snap as they are emerging. You'll know if your hemlocks have adelgids if you see a white waxy substance at the base of their needles. But they can be controlled safely by using horticultural oil or insecticidal soap. Apply once in May and again in June. Insecticidal soap will wash off much of the white substance exuded by the adelgids. Application of one more spray of horticultural oil should be done in September. Total coverage of the tops and bottoms of leaves is necessary for effective treatment.
Lilacs are susceptible to a moth called the lilac borer. It winters as a caterpillar in the wood and isn't affected by cold weather, so its problems shouldn't be any different this year than last. But you might see the onset of powdery mildew earlier this year. Borers decimate a plant subtly. The infestation isn't visible until the borers are advanced several years. They're usually found in thicker trunks; so the best practice to control lilac borer is to cut large older wood to the ground when bark begins to have a rough character. Pruning large branches at the base also keeps the growth manageable without need for shears or a ladder.
Spruces' most devastating problem is spider mites. Some are far more susceptible than others. Although damage is most obvious in summer, it starts in April or as early as they hatch and start feeding coming out of winter. Therefore, a mild winter would probably mean earlier feeding. Horticultural oil applied early in March is one of the best controls for spider mites, but it should not be used on blue or dwarf Alberta spruces because it will ruin the color. A miticide might be necessary if these spruces begin to turn brown from damage. As brownish cast occurs and needles are still flexible, shake some branches over a white sheet of paper. If reddish-brown specs move on the paper, use a miticide according to labeled instructions. The problem usually presents itself in late spring early summer.
Oil is an excellent universal remedy for many insect problems. It's effective for smothering mites, adelgids, aphids and scale. It should be used only on an as-needed basis because it also harms beneficial insects. Don't apply it when temperatures are below freezing. A couple of products to look for are Sunspray Ultra-Fine Oil and Volck Oil Spray.
Horticultural soaps are effective controls for aphids, adelgids, whiteflies, mealy bugs and other soft-bodied insects. They are sold under a variety of names under the category of insecticidal soap. Follow labeled instructions for these materials, all of which are widely available at garden and home-improvement centers.
Forecasting the future isn't easy, especially when weather conditions are constantly changing. Come summertime, we'll see whether my predictions were correct.

Welcome to our Homespun Christmas Link Party featuring Doors and Wreaths! I'm so happy you came…
I couldn't think of a better theme for my night of the party. Of all the things I do to welcome people to my home, decorating the front door is my favorite. Here's a reminder of what it looks like right now.
Some years I go all out with garland and lights on the railings and lamp post. This year I kept it simple, natural and fairly neutral. I had to throw in just a little pop of red.
I was able to get out the other night and snap some pics. Christmas is certainly the holiday where the magic happens at night.
Now…on to the party!
First…I want you all to know that I plan to pin every single link at least once, and twice if I have time. I may not comment, but rest assured I will be promoting your posts. I will also share random links on Facebook, Twitter and Google+. I tried to think of the best way to thank you for joining me and sharing your talent seemed to fit the bill. Pinterest is usually my top referrer. I am a pinner on several group boards that reach thousands of people. Hopefully you will get some new followers and tons of traffic!
Here is a button to grab for your post. I would appreciate a link back with this button or a text link.
Link up the URL of your post and not your home page!
Visit your neighbors! Even if it's just to pin or tweet…anything would be appreciated.
Now…let's party!

Last night I had the pleasure of emceeing a tech forum where Jeff Whatcott, VP of Marketing at Acquia, Inc. gave a very informative presentation of his views on overall trends in the content management market, specifically in Drupal as a social publishing system and how his company is forging the future for Drupal into commercial marketplaces. His presentation can be found here.
From Jeff's Twitter feed:
"Completed a webcast to a Drupal meetup in virginia. Seemed to go well. Good questions."
Frank Febrarro of Phase2 Technology then demonstrated a module they have recently released for Calais. The Calais web service allows you to automatically annotate your content with rich semantic metadata, including Entities like People and Companies and Events & Facts like Acquisitions and Management Changes. Phase 2 has integrated this service as a module for Drupal 5 and 6. You can watch a short screencast Frank recorded to demo main features of the module.
Toward the end we as a group decided to keep this meeting rolling as the Drupal Northern Virginia Users Group. We are targeting the second Tuesday of the month. This forum will be very much dependent on audience participation for suggestions of topics and also utilizing a rotating emcee. If you're interested in Drupal we would love to have you join us.
I'd like to thank Teqcorner for providing the space for us along with Andy Forbes and Arman Anwar of WorthPoint for their invaluable assistance in coordinating this event.
For more information on future meetings, to suggest topics, volunteer to host or make a presentation please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Borderlands 2 - Developer Talks Video Game Music
Forbes has an interview with Gearbox Sound Designer and Composer Raison Varner talking about video game music.
For Borderlands 2, the sound team designed a system to "measure the intensity of the experience for the player."
They used the data they gathered to ramp up the intensity of music during truly challenging moments in the game. Interestingly, this didn't include all combat scenarios, just ones that were actually threatening to the player.
"We wanted to ensure that players only heard aggressive combat music when they were being challenged," Varner says. "If the player is killing monsters but is not experiencing a challenge, then we wanted to hold the music back and reserve it for the moments that count the most so that we are maximizing the impact of those moments."
As Varner points out, games are an interactive experience, and the music is a big part of that interaction.

This whole GM search is so comical. Earlier today ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that NFL Network's Michael Lombardi talked with Jed York for 2+ hours last night in regards to the GM position.
After reading that I got excited for just a second. But only for a second because not long after Schefter reported that Michael Lombardi was on Around the League and he was asked about the 49ers/GM position and he said that he was not a candidate and that he expects Trent Baalke to be named GM within 48 hours.
I know folks are going to ask why and trash Jed, which I don't blame them, but part of me feels this has been in place for a while and Jed was told if Baalke is his man he'll get Harbaugh…ah who am I kidding, with this organization who the hell knows what to believe.

More than 4,000 women serving time in California prisons could serve the rest of their sentences at home.
State officials are trying to comply with a law designed to keep children from following their parents into a life of crime.
The alternative custody program is only for less serious offenders. To qualify, a female inmate must have less than two-years left on their sentence.
They would have to wear GPS-linked ankle bracelets and report to a parole officer.
The state is under court order to reduce the prison population by 30,000 inmates before July 2013.

Sizing Information
We tried the size Medium in this jacket on Huey and we put an XL jacket on Dewey. These are the sizes they normally wear and both fit great. The jackets are roomy. My primary advice would be to wear the size you normally wear in men's clothing. If you are between sizes I'd advise you to go down.
The chart provided by Speed and Strength shows chest sizes for each alpha size that are a bit larger than what you'd normally see for "standard" conversions from chest size to alpha size. Based on my observations (above), the chart seems just about right.
|35 1/2
|36 1/2
|37 1/2
Our Two Cents
Wow! Concealed carry pocket? Sure enough… what I thought was just an ordinary wallet pocket goes down low to accommodate your firearm of choice. Haven't seen that feature in quite a while. MANY Vanson styles we used to carry had that feature, so I guess it is making a comeback. The styling of this jacket is the key feature, so I'd invite you to take the View Lager Pictures link above and take a look at the large pics of the front and rear. Also, note the material used. It feels much like any other textile jacket, but looks more like worn denim. NOT being denim though is a plus because denim has about zero crash protection capabilities. The addition of the leather swath on the front and back chest is a sharp aspect of the styling and the quilting on the shoulders and forearms adds a bit of either vintage or cruiser look. And of course the black with orange and tan version is obviously aimed at Harley owners. :: Paul, 12-19-13

SAN DIEGO — On family day at Chargers Park, defensivecoordinator Greg Manusky received a head's up.
"You got to watch it, your kids are here,'' he was told.
Manusky, whose language is of the salty variety, chuckled.
"They hear it at home more than they do here,'' he said.
While Chargers fans curse their team's playoff pratfalls, good luck keeping pace with Manusky in the expletive-deleted department. When engaged with players, Manusky doesn't bleeping care about saying what's on his bleeping mind.
"I tell them I curse,'' he said. "But that is who I am. I curse at my kids. I curse at my mom. I curse at my wife.''
The field dynamics have shifted slightly with Manusky's arrival.Norv Turner used to have the bluest chatter among coaches, but nomore.
"I'm just a straight shooter,'' said Manusky, who directed the49ers' defense the past four years. "I'm going to tell it the wayit is. I'm going to tell you exactly where you are suppose to beand I'm not going to bull (deleted) you. I'm not going to say thisand do something else; I will tell you straight up.
"I tell them in the first meeting if you don't know your (deleted) role, I will tell you your role. And if it means kicking (deleted) on special teams, as a starter ... whatever your role is I will tell you.''
We're all ears, even if they're burning. We're all set for a good story or two, too.
On the eve of televised games, key players and coaches meet withnetwork announcers. They get background information to make themlook smart during telecasts and Manusky didn't act dumb whentalking to broadcast personnel in 2009. The 49ers were to play theColts when a confident Manusky strolled in the room and said,"We're going to (deleted) with Peyton Manning tomorrow.''
Final score: 49ers 18, Colts 14, with the only Indianapolistouchdown pass coming from halfback Joseph Addai.
Or the one when Rich Gannon and Manusky played in Kansas City. The two would car-pool, with Gannon pulling up and Manusky climbing in wearing the same gear, day after day: a hunter's body length zip-up jacket with nothing underneath.
"I would hang it up at work and get dressed, then just go back to forth to work in it so my wife didn't have to do any laundry,'' Manusky said. "So she was happy with it.''
Got to keep No. 1 smiling. Just like Manusky must keep the NFL'sNo. 1 defense humming.
Manusky replaced Ron Rivera, after he took the Carolinahead-coaching job.
While the Chargers did allow the fewest yards, that figure was skewed by awful special-teams play that often meant rivals didn't have far to travel.
So there's work to be done by Manusky and he swears, with so many new faces, there's no time to dither.
The Chargers could have five new starters in inside linebackersTakeo Spikes and Donald Butler, strong safety Bob Sanders, outsidelinebacker Travis LaBoy and end Corey Liuget.
There's not much of a getting-to-know-you-phase for a unit with no offseason workouts to gel.
Ah, what the hell, here comes Manusky. He's spitting fire in explaining his goals.
''My focus is always to tell the players this: turnovers are No. 1, then it's third downs and getting off the field and red zone,'' said Manusky, a former Chargers linebackers coach "Those three areas you have to be tops in, and if you are, you will have a lot of success.''
Despite the Chargers ranking 13 spots ahead of 49ers, San Francisco had just as many turnovers. The Chargers had more forced fumbles (11) than only two teams; more takeaways (22) than only six teams.
That's why Manusky is constantly harping — in drills and through teaching — to strip the ball away, to get that interception, to generally make life miserable for ball-carriers so they're no longer ball-carriers.
"I think that is the most important thing and that is what we are trying to stress,'' he said.
While hyped, Manusky isn't an org 24/7. His sense of humor surfaces more than expected.
"Whenever we see something, we bust his chops; he doesn't care,'' said Spikes, who played for Manusky in San Francisco. "But if you put something out there, he will bust yours.''
LaBoy, another linebacker with a 49ers pedigree, agreed.
"You have to be on your toes in that meeting room,'' he said. "He's one of them coaches you want to be with because he is just fun.
"These days get long after a while and he keeps it light as often as possible. You get things done, but it makes the time go by fast. He knows when to press the pedal, when to back off, when to demand things and when to crack a joke.''
Manusky broke into the coaching when retiring in 1999 after 12 years as an NFL linebacker. Never a star, he was a hard-nosed, blue-collar special teams ace who made the All-Madden team in 1991.
He's performed and coached under the likes of Joe Gibbs, Tony Dungy, Monte Kiffin, Wade Phillips and someone who's name still causes cringes at Chargers Park, Marty Schottenheimer.
"The main thing is he played the game,'' Spikes added. "The day is too long to come in here and have someone yell, 'Ten-Hut!' He has the ability to feel the pulse of the guys and he's able to get through to everybody.''
Usually with a voice which is loud, clear and profane.
"It's not going to change,'' Manusky bleeping said.

Metro's general manager said the transit agency should have paid more attention to escalator brakes as a safety issue, not just a maintenance issue.
The transit agency review of escalator and elevator maintenance released Wednesday show years of failing to keep up with standards has led to the current state. Interim General Manager Richard Sarles said the issue should have been brought to the attention of Metro board sooner.
The release of an advance copy of the 300-page review on Wednesday comes in the wake of an escalator accident that injured six people last month. The crowded L'Enfant Plaza escalator unexpectedly accelerated, then stopped, causing a pileup of falling riders.
Metro is currently inspecting brakes on its 588 escalators.

Users can select from ASRock's pre-defined 'Auto OC' modes to boost their CPU speed.
There are four different settings which can provide CPU frequencies of 4200MHz, 4400MHz, 4600MHz and 4800MHz.
The settings are very novice and are too conservative with CPU voltage. Our system managed to boot with the 4200 and 4400 MHz settings, but both the 4600 and 4800 MHz options were unstable.
In trying to push for a CPU overclock, we disabled the power savings and set the load-line calibration (LLC) to 100%. We also disabled AMD's Turbo Core in favour of a static overclock.
We originally disabled LLC, as advised by the motherboard, but this resulted in CPU voltage fluctuations of almost 200mV more than what we set in the BIOS. With our CPU approaching the dizzying heights of 1.7V, we jumped to the other end of the scale and set LLC to 100%.
ASRock clearly has some minor glitches to fix in its UEFI interface. Clearly, 21.5 * 200 isn't 4730! Thankfully, this setting corrected itself after we selected the appropriate multiplier and rebooted.
We managed to successfully achieve a 5.00GHz CPU frequency with a voltage of 1.575V. Normally, we wouldn't push the FX-8350 CPU's voltage past 1.55V, but due to our LLC configuration, the operational voltage remained below 1.55V.
Unfortunately, the system proved that this setting was unstable by 'shutting down' two cores during Prime95 load.
Even though two cores of the system were unstable during a Prime95 load, CPU-Z validator showed the system as stable – this is not entirely correct as not all cores were stable.
We did manage to boot at a CPU frequency of 4.8GHz with a voltage of 1.55V (in the BIOS). Prime95 proved that this setting was on the verge of stability with certain cores constantly changing their activation and operating frequency. 4.8GHz should be usable with a tweaked voltage setting, but this would likely require a better CPU cooler than the CM Seidon 120M that we are using.
We were looking for complete stability, so decided to reduce the frequency slightly.
We tested 4.6GHz at 1.5375 BIOS-set voltage (which peaked at less than 1.5000V in Windows), and it proved stable. In the end, we settled for 4.6GHz with a voltage of 1.55V. The extra 12.5mV gave us peace of mind that we had achieved complete stability.
Our LLC setting forced voltage down to a maximum of 1.504V when running Prime95. Perhaps a different LLC configuration would have resulted in reduced BIOS-set voltages, but our temperatures were fine and the system was stable, so we had few complaints.
Our 4.6GHz validation can be viewed here.

Reviewed by Lisa Clark from Evans, Georgia.
Q: How many times have you used the Lightning Bug Sleeping Bag?
A: We used the Lightning Bug two times during the test period.
Q: Is the sleeping bag comfortable to sleep in?
A: This sleeping bag is extremely comfortable for my kids. There is a lot of room to move around in it and enough padding inside the bag to have a relaxing and comfortable night's sleep.
Q: What is your favorite feature on the sleeping bag?
A: The best feature is how soft the sleeping bag is. When choosing a sleeping bag for kids, that is such an important factor. You have to be sure the sleeping bag doesn't have any rough edges, there is nothing sticking out, and the bag is soft enough for the kids to sleep well during the entire night. And even though it's soft, you can tell that it's a very durable product.
Q: Is this sleeping bag heavier or lighter in weight than other sleeping bags? Is it easy for young children to carry themselves?
A: It was very light, making it very easy for my kids to carry! It's perfect for camping, especially if the kids want to help unload the car. Normally camping equipment can get pretty heavy and small children can't really help out. With this bag, it's so easy for them to help their parents unload the car when they get to the site.
Q: Was it easy to pack the sleeping bag away in the stuff sack?
A: Yes. It was extremely simple to pack this away. My kids had no trouble at all.
Q: Would you recommend this sleeping bag to parents who plan on taking their children camping?
A: Yes. This sleeping bag is perfect for children. It's comfortable, warm and easy for the children to load and pack away. It is a great sleeping bag for kids.
Q: Is there any unique feature that sets it apart from other children's sleeping bags?
A: It's one of the first sleeping bags I've seen that is specifically designed for young children. It's the perfect size, weight and all around design.
Q: Are there any improvements you would suggest for the sleeping bag?
A: No. I think this bag is perfect the way it is. Parents couldn't ask for a better sleeping bag for their kids.
Q: Other than camping, would this be a great item for a child to use for other overnight occasions?
A: Yes. This is a great item to use for slumber parties or if you go camping in the backyard with the family.

This is a package of demos and tutorials on how to run Windows and Linux systems side by side. I had planned to post the whole package here, but because of my fancy formatting it was not possible. I therefore ask you to operate it from my Skydrive link below.
You can either read it in your browser with the Word Web App (double click on the icon in the link) or download it to your system (right click on the icon in the link) so that you can study it leisurely on your own system. It is a two page PDF document that contains all the controls to display the content.
The content is the following:
· Two demos how to run a couple of Linux distros (Mint Mate and Zorin) side by side with Windows 7
· One demo on how to run Windows 7 and Windows 8 side by side
· Detailed tutorials on how to install Mint Mate and Zorin in VMware Player
· Five video tutorials on how to setup Mint Mate
· Three video tutorials on how to setup 3 Linux applications
· A video on how to setup Zorin
