ExperienceI never had the oppurtunity to be a tutor before. I had a horrible tutoring experience and I would never want the same thing to happen to another student who was just trying to get some help. I love learning and I feel like I have a lot of knowledge to offer to others who are willing to take the time to listen and learn as well.
Classes I have completed in college: the list is endless since I have so many hours I have already completed but here are a few: Chemistry 1&2,Psychology 101, History 1&2, English composition 1&2, pre-calculus, Unity of Life (biology), Anatomy & Physiology 1&2, World Geography, Astronomy, speech, etc...
I have been on the Dean's List several times. I am currently a member of Alpha Sigma Alpha ( Zeta-Sigma chapter), as well as, the Health Professions Society.
HobbiesI love playing sports: volleyball, basketball, softball. Traveling has always been one of my passions. I guess I just look forward to experienceing new things and places ,as well as meeting new people. Ultimately, I love to have fun, but I always feel like you have to work hard to play hard.

Fergie backs Owen World Cup bid
Sir Alex Ferguson has told England manager Fabio Capello that Manchester United striker Michael Owen should be in his World Cup plans.
Last Updated: 28/02/10 12:00pm
Sir Alex Ferguson has told England manager Fabio Capello that Manchester United striker Michael Owen should be in his World Cup plans.
Despite only making a handful of starts for United, Owen has often come off the bench to find the net, including the final goal in United's 3-0 victory over West Ham in midweek.
And Ferguson reckons the 30-year-old has the necessary experience to be a vital member of Capello's squad.
He told the People: "Just imagine ... you've got 15 or 20 minutes to go in a World Cup quarter-final and you need a goal. Michael has to be in your thinking.
"For the first time in his career Michael's been used to being a sub to come on - maybe it could be an advantage for Fabio in the long-term."
Owen has seen his appearances limited in his first season at Old Trafford, mainly due to the goalscoring exploits of England team-mate Wayne Rooney.
Rooney has scored 27 goals for the Premier League champions so far this term, and Ferguson admits that the former Real Madrid striker has been unfortunate to arrive at the club with his team-mate in such good form.
Fergie said: "Michael's done well for me but the only problem he has got is Wayne Rooney.
"He's come here at a time when Rooney is just on the rise. Wayne's star has risen and we're getting incredible performances from him.
"I think Michael has improved as a footballer since coming here. He has never missed training, he's been terrific and never been a problem.
"He looks sharp and his general knowledge of the game, his linking play and his passing have all been good.
"Michael has the World Cup in the back of his mind and I had been hoping I would give him more regular games at United to put his credentials right in front of Fabio, but that's not been the case so far."

Editorial Reviews
"Even the most celebrity-cookbook-skeptical reader will find it hard not to enjoy this tome from supermodel Chrissy Teigen. With self-deprecating wit and down-to-earth charm, Teigen posits herself as an enthusiastic home cook and passionate eater." --Publisher's Weekly
"Chrissy Teigen's Cravings is a cookbook with realistic recipes for people who like it "spicy, salty, sticky, crunchy, juicy, oozy," and if you have some kind of prejudice against supermodels who unabashedly love Taco Bell, there's nothing I can do to help you. It's fun to read, with a recipe for everyone with two eyes, a stomach, and a fork. Frito pie? A chapter called "Sh*t on toast"? Absurd sexy photo shoots with chicken wings? What's not to love? I didn't even mention the bulldogs yet. If there's one thing we can all learn from Teigen, it's not to judge a cookbook by its cover." -- Bon Appetit
"Maybe the best celebrity cookbook of all time."-- SELF
"Cravings is a perfect cookbook… it's a must-buy—never daunting, and filled with near-pornographic images of hearty, meaty, cheesy food that would make Gwyneth Paltrow explode. As a culmination of everything Teigen has built over the past few years, it's brilliant." – Jezebel
"Cravings… lives up to the hype 100 percent."-- PopSugar
"We love this cookbook. It's full of things we actually want to eat." -- Refinery 29
"[Cravings] is dripping with energy and enthusiasm and, most of all, joy. Do not discount the value of joy. It's far too rare in food writing, and I know professionals who could learn a thing or two about joy from Teigen." -- Epicurious
"Teigen is notoriously funny, and her sense of humor comes through here, as does her self-awareness — she tackles the issue of credibility early and often, always presenting herself more as a cooking enthusiast than as an expert." -- Eater
"When was the last time you laughed out loud at a cookbook? So long ago you can't remember, which is enough of a reason to give Chrissy Teigen's first book a spin. But it's the recipes that'll keep you coming back." -- Saveur
About the Author
CHRISSY TEIGEN is known as many things--Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model, star of Instagram and Twitter, TV personality--but her real passion is food. Teigen has starred in a Cooking Channel special and the MTV show Snack-Off.

One phrase review of this cookbook: Shockingly Fantastic
Like, shocked shocked. Stunned. Surprised. Unexpected feelings.
Ok, composing self to write actual sentences.
I fully expected to hate-read this cookbook. Sure, I enjoy a lot of Chrissy Teigen's tweets. She's that rare famous person who makes themselves extremely publicly accessible, but in an actual authentic way. Her online presence doesn't appear to be artfully constructed by a PR firm. She replies to trolls. She talks about buying giant bear stuffed animals from shopping TV. She talks about her husband in a normal, loving, supportive way. She's a reminder that yes, celebrity is another plane of existence, but, it's still a career, and she's still a human being.
I knew that she enjoyed cooking. Or, well, attempted a lot of cooking. Her twitter feed contains a lot of posts about failed attempts in the kitchen. It led me to believe Teigen tried to make a lot of food, but that it probably turned out kinda terribly most of the time. So, I selected this cookbook to review just to see what a mess it would be. This celebrity trying to be all cookbook-ey. I expected one of those books with a "If you're a super rich person like me, you can have your housekeeper make you gluten-free llama milk infused baby kangaroo burgers too" tone. I promised I would give a recipe or two a try, but that I was probably going to pass this book along to someone else for their amusement.
I. Was. Wrong.
This cookbook is awesome.
The recipes? They're GREAT. Accessible. Unique, but familiar. Delicious. Unpretentious. Tasty. Good. Yummy. Things I will make again. Dare I say, some new favorites even?
Wow. It's just so good. Five star rating worthy. A book deserving of early admission to Food52's Piglet 2017 tournament (even though it does not have the pedigree of the usual entrants).
Enough about my surprise about this book. Let's talk about the book itself and why I love it, why I think you might like it.
Most importantly: The recipes
As I do with most cookbooks where I start to see a recipe or two, or three, early in the book that I want to make. I started a list. All the recipes I want to try. Maybe not today, but someday. So, I started that list in the breakfast section. That Dutch Baby Pancake looks tasty. Crab Cakes Benedict - wow, I think I could make this. Bacon Hash Browns? Sign me up. I kept going. Soup. Salads. Noodles. Thai. Party. Vegetables. Supper (this one was hard - my parents call it supper - I don't - it'd dinner - but... I let it go). My list had 53 recipes on it. 53. The book only has 95-ish or so recipes, and I want to make over half of them. That's an incredible accomplishment.
So, how does this recipes perform in practice? Will our three-and-a-half year old eat them? Are the ingredient lists accurate? Do the steps make sense? Does this feel like a well-tested recipe?
Dutch Baby Pancake: Super easy to make. Beautifully random squiggly rise in the oven. Delicious. Six thumbs up. Kid/family-approved.
Cobb Salad with Honey Mustard Ranch Dressing: An actual text I sent to my wife: "&^%$, this is a good salad". The seasoning on the chicken was fantastic. Just spicy enough to get a bunch of flavor out without passing toddler-acceptable levels. The charred corn was super tasty. The dressing. THAT dressing! The hard boiled eggs. That our toddler ate. That she had never eaten before. The combination. This was one of the best salads I have ever eaten, much less prepared (there are a lot of steps with this one, and there's a whole bunch of chopping, but it's an extremely well-written recipe). Family Favorite List addition.
Sesame Chicken Noodles: This is a really well-constructed recipe (you use the same water you boil the chicken in to cook the pasta). It's also really really really good. The sesame-based sauce for the noodles is lick your fingers tasty. The recipe says it serves 4 as a light dinner. Our 2.25 diners licked the pot clean.
Italian Sausage Meatloaf: This is a really good recipe - adding Italian Sausage to meatloaf is brilliant - but I screwed it up a little. I tried to make it on a solo parent weeknight, so I rushed a little and didn't mix it up as fully as I should have which led to some mushy breadcrumb only sections. It also needed more time in the oven than the recipe's "about 1 hour" step. That seems to be common with my latest meatloaf cookery though, so it's not a fault of Chrissy's. My minor related suggestion here though would be to add a "cook to XXX degrees" step. Overall, this turned out great tasting and I would make it again. On a weekend. When I can give it the proper attention.
Skillet-charred Fish Tacos: Five stars. These were just phenomenal. The spice rub for the tilapia was great. The toddler loved the fish. Kelley loved the tacos. I loved the tacos. I ate fish taco leftovers the next day. We'll make this again. Probably soon.
Literally Stovetop Pork Chops: We don't usually bread our pork chops. I've certainly never thought, "Hey, maybe let's get some Stovetop Stuffing mix and bread our pork chops with that." But, that's what this recipe calls for. And, well, I mean, broken record here, but, it's delicious. It's so good that when I asked our daughter a week later what she wanted for dinner, she said, "Hmmm.... Pork Chops!"
Pad Grapow Chicken (Basil Chicken): This recipe is from the tiny "Thai Mom" section of the cookbook and it makes me kinda hope for a future Thai Mom specific book. I'm a big fan of Thai food. Kelley is a big fan of Thai food. Our daughter doesn't know a lot about specific International cuisines yet. This recipe was soooooo good. I want to make it again with basil fresh from the garden, because it was delicious with store bought stuff, but I think it would be heavenly with some leaves pulled fresh from the stalk.
Buttery Glazed Green Beans: On to a vegetable. A side dish. A simple combination of sugar and water and green beans and butter. Easy recipe, great, slightly crispy green beans.
Warm Corn Salad: This is actually a component of the Seared Scallops recipe that I wanted to make, but couldn't find the right scallops for, so we pivoted and had Sole instead. But, I still make the corn salad. And I'm glad I did. In fact, even my not-really-that-big-of-a-fan-of-corn spouse said, "This salad is really good, I like how this corn is made." So, yeah, approved.
A couple of other review points.
The organization of the book is nice. I like having the breakfast vs salad vs noodles vs dinner type sections. I do think she got a little too cutesy with the "@*#$& on Toast" and "Stuff that Seems Complicated But Isn't" sections. I get it, I just don't think it was needed.
The recipe introductions are right in line with the tone of Chrissy Teigen. A little snarky, a little heartfelt, a lot personal. I like hearing about the background of the recipes. The stuff that reminds her of her mom, or her dad, or that thing that John Legend made that everyone loves. I also like the humor. But. In small doses. If you love love love all of of Chrissy Teigen's tweets, then by all means, sit down and read this cookbook cover-to-cover. You'll love it. On the other hand, if you just like her sense of humor, I might recommend reading the book in small portions. I find that for me, a small dose of Teigen goes a long way. In no way does this detract from the greatness of the food you will make based on this book, but just be forewarned.
Overall, I really really like this cookbook. At first I thought it was just because it exceeded my expectations so greatly, but after further analysis, I think it's because it contains really delicious recipes, the recipes themselves are very well-written, and it's obvious that the recipes have been well-tested. I could cook exclusively from this book for a month and we'd be happy family.
You should definitely buy this book if you're a huge fan of Chrissy Teigen. But, surprisingly, you should also buy this book if you simply love good food.
I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
Since purchasing I have cooked the following recipes:
-Capon's Chrissy Burger
-John's Crispy Roasted Potatoes
-Chinese Chicken Salad
-Lemony Arugula Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe
-Sweet Chili & Mustard Glazed Salmon
-Thai Pounded Papaya Salad
-Grilled Garlic Soy Shrimp
-Chicken Lettuce Wraps (served over rice)
-Pad Grapow Chicken (Basil Chicken)
-Roasted Cauliflower, Orzo & Feta Salad
-Sriracha Caesar Salad (with added chicken)
-Chipotle Honey Chicken
All but one were really good! The method of roasting the potatoes made them much crispier than usual. I would make everything again except the glazed salmon. The method of cooking didn't turn out well, and I wasn't crazy about the sauce. I made the papaya salad with spiralized cucumber (as a suggestion in the recipe intro) and it was good, but I would probably leave the fish sauce out as it was too strong for me. But the Cacio e Pepe--SO GOOD!! I would make this everyday. The sriracha Caesar was really thick--I wonder if subbing a few tablespoons of buttermilk for some mayo would help. Still good! But the little garlic toasts were too salty. Less salt next time

|Mountain Valley Golf Course - Maple/Oak Course -- hidden gem
|Review by: Rick P
|Course was originally 18 but 9 new holes were added in the last few years. The three nines, oak, pine, and maple are all challenging with tight tree lined fairways with generous sized greens with a fair bit of undulation. Huge elevation changes on some holes offer great views of the surrounding PA countryside. Although not the longest course, although some holes are quite long it is easily the most difficult in the region due to the tightness and difficult putting greens. The greens are always in great condition so the difficulty I have with putting is assuredly not the course, It's all mine. Great value too, and a friendly and helpful staff makes these three nine hole courses a must when in the area.

Total Transformation Legacy Publishing 10 speirs st. Westbrook Me. 04092 Misleading Radio advertising. Free turns out to be over $300 when u call them to order. westbrook Maine
*UPDATE Employee: We Apologize For Any Misunderstanding
This co has an ad on local am Radio, It clearly states that the program is free. When you call their number there is a pushy, prying person asking very personal questions. She kept going on and on for about a half hour! Then when she asks for my name and adress "so she knows where to send the program" she asked for my credit card info. I reminded her the ad said free, she then went onto explain it's free but only if you sent back their questionaire report within 30 days and she only needs the credit card info "in case I didn't send back their questionaire in time, in which case I would be billed for the whole program" which was over 300.00!!!!!! Having had probs with companies who say they're not going to charge your card and they do the second u hang up, i declined. i'm writing this to warn others, their FREE ads aren't free. I can see by reading the other reviews on people who did fill out their questionaire on time and send it back that they still didn't honor the FREE part of the ad and still charged the customer. These kind of scammy practices should be illegal in my opinion and should fall under credit card fraud.

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, is the spiritual leader of Tibet.

This is an odd one, what we have here is a Motorola Xoom Family Edition that has been spotted and opened up for the cameras from what sources are calling a big box electronic store. We aren't sure where yet but this Family Edition Xoom looks a bit different, and also seems to have all sorts of family and kid-friendly software pre-installed. Go big Moto, go big.
Although 4G LTE for the Motorola Xoom is finally here, I was hoping for something a little faster and thinner for the next Xoom like the recently leaked ones we've seen. I'm not sure anyone saw this family edition tablet coming, but it's here so lets check it out. We don't know much about this, but according to Engadget it has plenty of pre-installed software for family's or kids with something called "Kids Mode".
With Kids mode there are a few games and apps, something called Zoodles, and more. They are saying around $40 dollars of stuff all aimed at Family's. We don't know anything regarding a price, release date, or internal specs but most likely it features the same dual-core Tegra 2 as the original Xoom. Judging from the picture above its not exactly the same as the original Xoom, for one the camera looks different but before we start breaking things down hopefully Motorola gives us a little confirmation here. We'll be digging for more details and will update when we see more.

Chapter 10 – Do – Influencing Your Horse
More snippets from The Crystal System Book …
"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm" – Winston Churchill
"Of course, everything we do influences our horse's way of going and it is worth taking on board my primary message to you 'If you get the right response when you ask correctly, it surely follows that if you get the wrong response, you may not be asking correctly".
"… The novice or untrained horse (whatever the age) needs time to develop strength and flexibility to accomplish the desired 'roundness.' It's important that every time you take a walk break, you should give a loose rein and let your horse adopt any frame he wants so that he can relax his muscles. The length of time you ask your horse to work 'on the bit' depends on the individual horse. Always consider his age, fitness, and temperament. Clearly, if you do too much and make your horse sore because he's using his muscles differently, you're not only going to have a sore horse, but also a horse that becomes quirky and resistant. So the trick with anything you do with a horse is to bring him up to the limit, and then take the pressure off. As soon as your horse shows signs of resistance because he's either physically or mentally tired, back off. Build up day by day.

Six months after the Los Alamos County Council met with facilitator Carl Neu to develop the Strategic Leadership Plan, they voted to approve it. The plan passed unanimously with little fanfare.
Assistant County Administrator Brian Bosshardt introduced the motion to approve the plan with minor amendments suggested by staff.
At the May 24 meeting, councilor Fran Berting suggested revising the goal "Market and brand Los Alamos as a recreational destination, emphasizing scenery over science and adrenaline over academics" to "Market and brand Los Alamos as a scenic destination featuring recreation, science and history."
With smoke in the air from the flare-ups around the area, employees returned to work at Los Alamos National Laboratory Wednesday.
The lab had been closed since June 28 because of the Las Conchas fire, the largest in New Mexico history.
The lab's post-fire-danger recovery plan was coordinated with Los Alamos County to ensure that the community of Los Alamos was fully habitable before opening.
Before employees reported to work Wednesday, laboratory facility personnel checked all of the more than 2,000 of the lab's buildings.
Lab director Charlie McMIllan said employees who need additional time before reporting to work should speak to their managers once the laboratory reopen.
For those people affected by the Los Conchas Fire and who need to file insurance claims, they have a number of options.
Insurance agents have made their way to Los Alamos. The county announced this week for Insurance agents who do not have an office location in Los Alamos, they will be relocated to the parking lot of the former site of County/Schools buildings (aka the Trinity Site property), which is located just south of Marimac Plaza on Trinity Drive.
Upon arriving in Los Alamos, insurance agents were asked to phone the Planning section of the Recovery Operations Center at 663-1861.
For those who have Allstate as their insurance carrier, they have set up a mobile command center at the Cities of Gold Casino in Pojoaque.

Los Alamos, NM 87544
LA CUEVA, N.M. (AP) — At the nation's premier nuclear weapons laboratory in northern New Mexico, life was about to return to normal Wednesday after a massive wildfire skirted dangerously close to its border and forced its closure for more than a week.
But in the mountains that near Los Alamos National Laboratory, residents are just getting their first glimpse of the devastation caused by the fast-moving flames of the Las Conchas fire.
Some areas were wiped clean by the fire, leaving behind only the blackened skeletons of thousands of trees and melted pickup trucks, snowmobiles and sheds.
Other areas held hope for the residents, as not all of the needles had been singed from the trees.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Hot, fire weary New Mexicans may soon get a break.
National Weather Service meteorologist Ed Polasko says last weekend's scattered storms marked the beginning of monsoon season. And while the state is still in the transition from dry to wet, he says the monsoon pattern is starting to set up and more moisture is on the way later this week.
Monsoon season usually runs from mid-July to September in New Mexico. That's when Polasko says the state gets about 30 percent to 40 percent of its annual rain fall as the winds start coming up from the south instead of the from the west.
Here are updates the County has received from community service providers today:
Senior Centers: The Betty Ehart and White Rock Senior Centers are open as of Tuesday (July 5) from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Regular evening activities will also resume this week. Homebound meal recipients are being served and transportation services are fully operational. Lunches are being served daily to seniors at the Betty Ehart Senior Center from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Residents should call 662-8920 with any questions related to senior services.
The County will begin resuming several Community Services and Programs this week as noted below. Other contractors for services will be contacted after repopulation, to determine re-opening hours:
• Recycling services and regular trash pick up will resume.
The Los Alamos County Medical Center is back up and running.
Traffic flowed smoothly throughout Sunday's repopulation of Los Alamos following the June 27 evacuation caused by heavy smoke and danger from the Las Conchas Fire.
"More than 5,800 vehicles had returned by 5 p.m. Sunday and there were no traffic backups – both the evacuation and the repopulation went smoothly and safely and we credited good planning and the cooperation of our residents," said County Council Chair Sharon Stover this morning.
"People have been telling me how much they loved seeing the tents set up along the return route with the people stationed in the tents and other officials waving and welcoming them home."

Arpita Khan was married last year and we can still see her bridal glow -- surprisingly. Looks like the hubby is keeping Arpita well off. It was a big fat wedding. Newspapers and news channels couldn't resist leaving any update from the wedding. Of course, it was the wedding of Bhai's sister, and it had to be a big bash.
Celebrity swarmed in, and instagram was bombarded with celebrities selfies. It was a great wedding and we saw a lot of Arpita. But somehow after the wedding, Arpita wasn't making much news until recently when we spotted her at the opening of restro bar, Mumbai.
We spotted this newlywed in a silk maxi dress. The dress was inspired by Chinese motifs. And we loved the delicate work on the silk cloth. Arpita was with hubby Aayush Sharma and it doesn't hurt to say they both looked fantastic at the venue.

Gang boss was selling €1m in drugs every two months
INTERNATIONAL crime boss Christy Kinahan was selling shipments of drugs worth €1m every two months, a secret file reveals.
The file lays bare for the first time the extent of Kinahan's global network as he masterminded a worldwide operation involving drug trafficking and money laundering.
It was discovered by the garda national drugs unit in the form of a ledger seized by detectives from an associate of Kinahan's gang in a raid in Dublin's north inner city.
The ledger outlined details of shipments allegedly being organised by Kinahan, although the full extent of the financial profits made by the gang have yet to be uncovered.
Gardai are satisfied the drugs-distribution network was active for several years before it was smashed by an operation, codenamed 'Shovel', led by Spanish police and the gardai.
"This is only one ledger. We don't know yet how many of them existed but there is sufficient information here to indicate the size of the profits involved," a senior officer told the Irish Independent.
Kinahan -- who was allowed out on bail by a Spanish magistrate after being arrested in May last year during a spate of arrests there, in the UK and in Dublin -- was back behind bars last week. He was detained on a European arrest warrant issued by Belgium, where he was wanted to serve a four-year jail sentence for money laundering.
In the meantime, the national drugs unit is probing his alleged activities here.
It believes his dealings with Irish crime gangs were controlled by two "lieutenants", one of whom was arrested recently in Spain.
The second senior associate was detained by gardai for questioning last week and held in Blanchardstown station, Dublin, before being released without charge.
Gardai are also studying documentation showing that the gang set up a betting racket to launder €2.5m of the profits gleaned from drug trafficking by using unsuspecting bookmakers.
Bets were placed in bookmakers around the capital on horse races, greyhound races and football games. The gang's punters managed to restrict losses to less than €300,000. The punters did not place many substantial bets to ensure they did not arouse suspicions in the betting fraternity.
Instead, they concentrated on volume, carrying out the laundering by selecting horses, dogs or teams regarded by bookies as hot favourites.
The short odds available meant that the profits from a winning bet were not huge, but for the punters they represented a big success as they got their money back plus winnings in "clean" money from the bookmakers.
Gardai are continuing to liaise closely with Spanish police as they build up a dossier on the gang's property portfolio, which included several luxurious villas, yachts, expensive cars, a pub, a hotel and a gymnasium.
Police elsewhere are following a property trail in the UK, Belgium, Cyprus, Dubai and South Africa.
Operation Shovel was set in train in May 2008 as a result of inquiries by the national drugs unit into the seizure of a tonne and a half of cannabis in a house in Clongorey, between Naas and Newbridge, Co Kildare.

Chapter 14 Heat. Contents of Chapter 14. Heat As Energy Transfer Internal Energy Specific Heat Calorimetry —Solving Problems Latent Heat Heat Transfer: Conduction Heat Transfer: Convection Heat Transfer: Radiation. 14-1 Heat As Energy Transfer.

We often speak of heat as though it were a material that flows from one object to another; it is not. Rather, it is a form of energy.
Unit of heat: calorie (cal)
1 cal is the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 Celsius degree.
Don't be fooled—the calories on our food labels are really kilocalories (kcal or Calories), the heat necessary to raise 1 kg of water by 1 Celsius degree.
If heat is a form of energy, it ought to be possible to equate it to other forms. The experiment below found the mechanical equivalent of heat by using the falling weight to heat the water:
4.186 J = 1 cal
4.186 kJ = 1 kcal
Definition of heat:
Heat is energy transferred from one object to another because of a difference in temperature.
The sum total of all the energy of all the molecules in a substance is its internal (or thermal) energy.
Temperature: measures molecules'average kinetic energy
Internal energy: total energy of all molecules
Heat: transfer of energy due to difference in temperature
Internal energy of an ideal (atomic) gas is equal to the average kinetic energy per molecule multiplied by the number of molecules.
But since we know the average kinetic energy in terms of the temperature, we can write:
If the gas is molecular rather than atomic, rotational and vibrational kinetic energy needs to be taken into account as well.
The amount of heat required to change the temperature of a material is proportional to the mass and to the temperature change:
The specific heat, c, is characteristic of the material. Some values are listed at left.
Specific heats of gases are more complicated, and are generally measured at constant pressure (cP) or constant volume (cV).
Some sample values:
Closed system: no mass enters or leaves, but energy may be exchanged
Open system: mass may transfer as well
Isolated system: closed system where no energy in any form is transferred
For an isolated system,
Energy out of one part = energy into another part
Or: heat lost = heat gained
The instrument to the left is a calorimeter, which makes quantitative measurements of heat exchange. A sample is heated to a well-measured high temperature, plunged into the water, and the equilibrium temperature measured. This gives the specific heat of the sample.
Another type of calorimeter is called a bomb calorimeter; it measures the thermal energy released when a substance burns.
This is the way the caloric content of foods is measured.
Energy is required for a material to change phase, even though its temperature is not changing.
Heat of fusion, LF: heat required to change 1.0 kg of material from solid to liquid
Heat of vaporization, LV: heat required to change 1.0 kg of material from liquid to vapor
The total heat required for a phase change depends on the total mass and the latent heat:
Problem Solving: Calorimetry
4. If there are, or may be, phase changes, terms that depend on the mass and the latent heat may also be present. Determine or estimate what phase the final system will be in.
5. Make sure that each term is in the right place and that all the temperature changes are positive.
6. There is only one final temperature when the system reaches equilibrium.
7. Solve.
The latent heat of vaporization is relevant for evaporation as well as boiling. The heat of vaporization of water rises slightly as the temperature decreases.
On a molecular level, the heat added during a change of state does not go to increasing the kinetic energy of individual molecules, but rather to break the close bonds between them so the next phase can occur.
Heat conduction can be visualized as occurring through molecular collisions.
The heat flow per unit time is given by:
The constant k is called the thermal conductivity.
Materials with large k are called conductors; those with small k are called insulators.
Building materials are measured using R−values rather than thermal conductivity:
Here, l is the thickness of the material.
Convection occurs when heat flows by the mass movement of molecules from one place to another.It may be natural or forced; both these examples are natural convection.
Many home heating systems are forced hot-air systems; these have a fan that blows the air out of registers, rather than relying completely on natural convection.
Our body temperature is regulated by the blood; it runs close to the surface of the skin and transfers heat. Once it reaches the surface of the skin, the heat is released through convection, evaporation, and radiation.
The most familiar example of radiation is our own Sun, which radiates at a temperature of almost 6000 K.
The energy radiated has been found to be proportional to the fourth power of the temperature:
The constant σ is called the Stefan-Boltzmann constant:
σ= 5.67 × 10−8W/m2∙K4
The emissivity e is a number between zero and one characterizing the surface; black objects have an emissivity near one, while shiny ones have an emissivity near zero.
If you are sitting in a place that is too cold, your body radiates more heat than it can produce. You will start shivering and your metabolic rate will increase unless you put on warmer clothing.
If you are in the sunlight, the Sun's radiation will warm you. In general, you will not be perfectly perpendicular to the Sun's rays, and will absorb energy at the rate:
This cosθ effect is also responsible for the seasons.
Thermography—the detailed measurement of radiation from the body—can be used in medical imaging. Warmer areas may be a sign of tumors or infection; cooler areas on the skin may be a sign of poor circulation.

Setting the Golden State Warriors' Perfect Playoff RotationFebruary 8, 2013
Setting the Golden State Warriors' Perfect Playoff Rotation
It isn't every season that the Golden State Warriors are looking ahead towards the playoffs before the regular season even ends. Hell, this might not even be the smartest thing to do, but hypotheticals are almost as fun as the real life scenario that unfolds.
The "We Believe" team had to squeeze into the eighth seed before pulling one of the greatest upsets of all time. This season doesn't have the same mojo or "swag", but it certainly is a better-structured team with players complementing each other perfectly.
Granted, that team with Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson, Matt Barnes and even Andris Biedrins were built perfectly to run up and down the court and feed off the crowd, but it was never sustainable. Coach Mark Jackson has done yeoman's work fitting in all the pieces of this team, despite the rash of injuries, to sustain offensive and defensive success.
From Stephen Curry's troublesome ankle, Andrew Bogut's in-and-out of the rotation tendencies and Brandon Rush's season-ending ACL tear, his rotation lineups have been nothing short of Coach of the Year-esque.
Keep in mind the rotations will shorten in the playoffs as bench players that were getting 5-8 minutes will receive next to nothing.
Ranked from importance, we look at what each player brings to the table, how much they should play and what responsibilities they will hold when the crazed playoff atmosphere comes back to Oakland.
The Bench Bazemores
What they bring to the team:
A ton of energy and celebrations.
From the recent phenomenon aptly named Bazemoring to their gritty defense, the bench-warming unit for the Warriors are more well-known than most.
If pressed into action, players like Bazemore, Festus Ezeli and even Charles Jenkins have the athleticism and ability to play solid defense. Scoring? Not so much.
If the Warriors want to succeed in the playoffs, they won't want to see any meaningful minutes from either Ezeli, Bazemore, Jenkins or Jeremy Tyler.
Richard Jefferson
What should he bring to the team in the playoffs?
Ball protection, threes and the occasional reverse slam throw-down that brings down Oracle Arena.
At this point in Jefferson's career, he doesn't provide much beyond the occasional three-point threat from the corner. He is part of a "shock troop" bench unit that provides defense, but the lack of offensive threats in the lineup make it a net negative.
However, if he can space the floor with his shooting ability and the once-in-a-blue-moon dunks, he can provide a lift in the five to seven minutes he should play per game.
Draymond Green
What should he bring to the team in the playoffs?
Defense, defense, interior passing, defense and the miracle of a made jump shot.
Quickly becoming the Warriors version of a Raja Bell or a Bruce Bowen, Green is the gritty, do-the-little-things player they have. He has even gotten into jawing matches with LeBron James and is willing to talk a little trash as well.
As for what he can offer on the court, it's the excellent instinctual defense he plays. He makes good rotations and has the ability to guard smaller wings and larger forwards all at once. On offense, he is a massive downgrade from a Harrison Barnes and even a Richard Jefferson.
The shooting touch he had at Michigan State has yet to show up and he doesn't have the ball enough to show off his passing prowess. The high-IQ play is there, but it shouldn't be on the court more than six to eight minutes in a playoff series, if at all.
Andris Biedrins
What should he bring to the team in the playoffs?
Rebounds and defensive interior presence.
And to make a free throw. Just kidding.
At this point in the season and in his career, we know what we will get out of the big Latvian: rebounding in spurts and the ability to block shots, but also the propensity to avoid the ball entirely on offense.
However, with Bogut perhaps still less than 100 percent by the beginning of the postseason, Biedrins might need to play bigger minutes than before. The combination of Carl Landry and David Lee will only hold up for so long on the defensive end. Especially with frontcourt mates like Blake Griffin/DeAndre Jordan and Zach Randolph/Marc Gasol, defense will be key to a series win.
With Bogut probably playing no more than 32 minutes per game (his career average), and Carl Landry also taking minutes, look for no more than 10 minutes a game allotted to Biedrins.
Carl Landry
What should he bring to the team in the playoffs?
A dominant post-up game, excellent finishing ability near the basket and hopefully enough of a rebounding presence with Bogut out.
The best lineup for the Warriors this season has been a combination of Landry/Lee/Curry/Klay Thompson/Jarrett Jack, garnering a cumulative plus-47, according to 82games.
His main responsibility is to be stronger and tougher than any other person on the court, and most of the time that's true. Landry's pump fakes and reverse layup finishes are becoming commonplace, especially with great passers like Lee and Curry around him.
When the offense bogs down or the outside shooting goes down, they'll lean on him to post-up and rumble through the lane after dipping his shoulder into the defender and drawing a foul.
He's played nearly 25 minutes per game this season, so look for around the same in the playoffs.
Jarrett Jack
What should he bring to the team in the playoffs?
As cliche as it sounds, veteran leadership, the facilitator for three-guard lineups and the moxie to close out games with big shots.
The team isn't necessarily noticeably better on offense and defense with or without Jack, according to 82games, but it's his ability to keep the team going in its time of need that has Mark Jackson thrusting him into more and more playing time.
The ball sometimes stops when it gets to Jack, and this isn't good when he is the point guard with Curry and Thompson on the wings, but his ability to create off the dribble late in the shot clock is second to none on this team.
A capable starter on many teams, Jack should see the same amount of minutes he's had all season, about 29 per game.
His ability to keep the team grounded, no matter the "statement" wins and disheartening losses, has made this team more resilient than the ones of years past.
Harrison Barnes
What should he bring to the team in the playoffs?
Aggressive slashing to the basket and solid one-on-one defense on the opponent's best offensive wing.
Jack's playing time is fluid considering Barnes' offensive development. If he chooses to remain aggressive and play the way he has in the past couple weeks, he has the ability to cut into Jack's playing time.
Barnes combination of post-up mismatches, shooting, and finishing at the basket is unrivaled on this team. Well, unless Jefferson was about 15 years younger.
Barnes is playing a mere 25.5 minutes right now, but if his development persists he'll be nearing 30 a game in the playoffs. His role as the most athletically gifted player on the roster presents an X-factor come playoff time.
Klay Thompson
What should he bring to the team in the playoffs?
Lights out three-point shooting and the ability to create off the dribble if Curry is out. Also, he will be pressed into defensive assignments against the other team's best guard, like Barnes.
The first half of the Splash Brothers, Klay Thompson is nearly as promising a youngster as Barnes. His quick release coupled with his height make him tough to guard on offense while giving him the potential to develop into a solid defender on the other end.
So far this season, he has had to guard players from Chris Paul to Kevin Durant.
Defense be damned, it is his shooting off screens and the corner that will play a vital role in the Warriors playoff success. Given that his early season shooting slump is over, he still needs to cut down his turnovers; Thompson is averaging nearly two per game.
If his shot selection improves (only 42.1 percent from the field and countless bonehead early jumpers in transition), Thompson's ability to heat up from distance can take over any game, even in the playoffs.
He is currently playing 35 minutes per game, easily a career-high, and that number should go up to around 38 in the playoffs with players like Green and Jefferson playing less and less.
David Lee
What should he bring to the team in the playoffs?
The engine that keeps the offense flowing, Lee will have to keep the ball moving along the court, hit the elbow jumpers and grab enough rebounds alongside Bogut.
Long overrated as a rebounder, Lee has been a bit underrated this season from the aspect of his offensive prowess. His ability to pass, his deadly jump shot and even an effective crossover has been overshadowed by the great three-point shooting this team has. He's been struggling the past couple games, after the All-Star selection, and that has showed with the Warriors.
If the Warriors want to win in the playoffs, Lee will have to continue making elbow jumpers at the near-automatic clip he was at the beginning of the season while continuing the excellent post passing he's shown thus far.
Lee is playing a career-high 37.5 minutes per game and don't look for that to go down in the playoffs.
Stephen Curry
What should he bring to the team in the playoffs?
The best shooter in the league, Curry will have to take the ball to the basket more because of his excellent passing ability inside.
A somewhat underrated defender this season, Curry won't be able to keep up with the Tony Parkers or Chris Pauls of the world in the playoffs, but, realistically, who can?
What he can do is to maintain his historic pace from distance, a torrid 44.9 percent while shooting seven a game. With that being a given, it is his ability to finish near the basket and to penetrate that will prove integral to the team's success.
For some reason, Curry has shot poorly from inside the arc, contributing to his lackluster 43.2 percent from the field. It isn't a coincidence that ever since his ankle became troublesome he hasn't been the same finishing at the rim. According to Hoopdata, he is only shooting 37.8 percent from 3-9 feet, whereas he was 47.9 and 45.3 percent in his first two seasons, respectively.
He is also attempting only 1.8 shots per game at the rim, contrasted to 2.6 and 2.7 in his rookie and sophomore campaigns.
As great a shooter as Curry is, he must drive to the basket to not only score, but to distribute and kick out to shooters.
Even with the ankle trouble, Curry is averaging a career-high 37.8 minutes per game. If he can stay relatively healthy the rest of the season, there's no reason why Mark Jackson will play him any less in the playoffs.
If anything, we may see Curry touch 40 minutes per game.
Andrew Bogut
What should he bring to the team in the playoffs?
Precise defensive rotations aside, Bogut must be the orchestrator for a defense that has shown cracks the past month. Perhaps the single most important aspect of the playoffs for the Dubs will be Bogut's impact on the defensive side of the ball.
So that's why I haven't mentioned much defense on the part of every other player on the team. Even though the team's defensive efficiency has been strong this season, the smoke-and-mirrors approach was going to run out sooner than later.
But here comes Bogut to the rescue.
With the big Australian in the middle, it's no longer child's play for other big men. In one sequence at the end of the game against the Dallas Mavericks, Bogut showed why the Dubs traded and waited so long for him.
He made the perfect rotations off his man to OJ Mayo at the high post, then rotated down just in time to cut off the baseline drive, then rotated again to the other side for a baseline strip-block of Brandan Wright, saving the game for the Warriors.
Being able to guard the likes of Gasol and Blake Griffin is a huge boost for a team that has been without an interior presence since Wilt Chamberlain himself. Kidding...sort of.
Bogut is currently playing 25 minutes a game while also sitting out back-to-backs, but he appears to be healthy as he is able to cut and jump repeatedly off that ankle. Look for his career average of 32 minutes per game.

Toastmasters International District 76
Toastmasters International District 76 Japan Communication and Leadership Program since 1924
Information from District Executive Officers
International Convention in Orlando, Florida: August 15-18, 2012
Kazuko Kawauchi, DTM
District76 Governor, 2012-2013
District76 Governor, 2012-2013
Toastmasters International Convention 2012 was held in Orland, Florida at Hilton Bonnet Creek Resort Hotel from August 15 through 18. This is a report on the convention to share some information with you on how it went.
On behalf of members of District 76, we the District Trio - District Governor Kazuko Kawauchi, Lieutenant Governor Education and Training Kiichiro Ohmi and Lieutenant Governor Marketing Tsuneo Kato - participated in the convention to learn more about the organization and its governance including elections of our new leaders. Please click on the link http://www.toastmasters.org/Members.aspx to virtually enjoy watching the highlights of Board Briefing, Opening Ceremony, International Speech Contest Semifinals in which our representative TM Howser participated (Contest 1) and made an excellent speech, and World Championship of Public Speaking on the last day. TM Ryan Avery from Oregon became the champion of 2012, and you will see his photo on the front page of next version of the Contest Rulebook.
In the Hall of Fame on the second day, our District 76 was recognized as achiever of President's Distinguished District as one of the Toastmasters' top-achieving districts. It is the highest honor that we were awarded. Immediate Past District Governor Bunzo Suzuki,
Lieutenant Governor Education and Training 2011-2012 Kazuko Kawauchi and Lieutenant Governor Marketing 2011-2012 Kiichiro Ohmi were invited to the stage and were presented with each award by the then International President Michael Notaro DTM. Members who came from Japan were also invited to the stage. Thank you very much for these membes to come all the way from Japan and joined us. Please see the photo above.
During the convention, we the trio were actively involved in activities with other districts' officers to learn their best practices of how they serve their members, and more importantly we spoke with incumbent and past International Officers, International Directors and Region Advisors in order to raise awareness about District 76 and its members. They are quite interested in our members and opportunites of the district.
Prior to the convention, the trio participated in a two-day incentive training from early morning till late in the evening to learn more about Toastmasters International's education program, money management and governance. We also learned other various matters through discussions. Before concluding the training on the second day, all districts were requested to make a seven-minute presentation on their five-year plan to select one best district from 14 regions in the world. Our District 76 team made a presentation that there are enormous marketing opportunities and our future is very bright. The presentation was favorably accepted with a round of applause though we missed the best award which we had received last time.
We District Trio will capitalize on our experience this time and are determined to work effectively and enthusiatically for members of District 76. We hope that you will achieve your personal goals and realize your dream through Toastmasters' activities this term, too, by achieving educational awards. Let's work together and achieve the President Distinguished District Award this term again!

Problem behaviour: What to do if your child is experiencing challenges at school
BY now it has been a couple of weeks since your child has either returned to school for the new year or perhaps just started in junior infants.
The majority of kids settle into school very easily and effortlessly with no difficulties at all, according to Dr David Carey, a consulting psychologist based in Dublin who is also a special education expert and author of the book The Essential Guide to Special Education in Ireland.
However, a very small percentage – probably less than 3pc – would have problems in school, he explains. In his own practice, the three major issues to do with school that Carey would see on a regular basis include anxiety disorders, challenging behaviour and special education issues.
When it comes to anxiety, Carey says some children are prone to excessive worrying.
"Starting school or changing school would raise the potential that the child will develop some strong worrying symptoms. They may be very hesitant to go into the school and be weepy and clingy."
The first thing to do in this instance is talk to the school principal and teacher, he advises.
"You really need to tip people off. If you have reason to believe that your child is going to have an adjustment problem, it is very wise to talk to the principal and teacher to let them know that this might happen and to be sensitive to it."
Meanwhile the developmental disorder attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) impacts about 5pc of children, according to international statistics, says Carey.
"In boys, ADHD is probably easier to notice because they can be extremely active and have very poor impulse control. They may appear to be aggressive and may push and bite and run. More boys present with that form of ADHD than girls. Some children are very distracted, poorly focused and have a lot of concentration problems. That's another form of ADHD."
Girls with ADHD typically don't present with the high levels of activity, irritability and behavioural problems that the boys present with, continues Carey. Inattentiveness, being easily distracted and daydreaming would tend to be more prevalent in females.
"The teacher will certainly pick up on this very quickly in the classroom. When it comes to impulse control, you are going to see it arise mostly in PE, during yard time and in the less-structured classroom activities. Children with ADHD typically do better when there is a lot of structure around them."
So what if your child is staying by themselves at break time, especially in the playground – is this cause for concern?
"Children who are isolating themselves in the playground are sending a message to the adults around them. It is the responsibility of the adults to interpret the message," says Carey. "It's a sign of possible problems. This sort of social isolation can be due to many causes. It could be that the child is being bullied, has a social phobia or social skills defi cits.
"It might be related to a condition such as Asperger's syndrome in which the child doesn't particularly need to play with or interact with other children. We should make small encouragements to introduce them to a friendly peer and not to force social interaction because that just disturbs them."
If it is a case of autism or Asperger's syndrome, Carey says children usually now get diagnosed by the age of three in Ireland. But what should parents do if they discover that their child has special education needs after they have started school? Your first port of call should be to talk to your child's teacher, stresses Carey.
"According to Department of Education guidelines, the teacher must draw up a written intervention plan with you and implement it for a period of time. The plan will be reviewed to see if progress is being made. If no progress is made then the school will implement its special education process to investigate further." Parents should always be aware of their child's moods when they return home from school in the evenings and to chat to them about their day, adds Carey.
"Make sure the lines of communication are open. Assure your children that you are always there to talk about school if they want to and that you will help them solve their problems if they want your help."

More than just another nut or snack, these Australian Macadamia's, are a story of our land, our soil and our country.
The Indigenous population of Australia refer to this nut with four individual names. Back in the day, they were traded between tribes & offered as ceremonial gifts,
If I've piqued your interest, you can read more on the history & heritage and the Dreamtime legend "Baphal nut," here.
The thing I love most about this recipe, is that these wafers require only four ingredients.
This makes them the simplest & easiest snack to rustle up in a flash.
Fact! My other half told me these were so good, I didn't even need to whip up a dip as he'd happily eat them on his own.
For my no.1 foodie guinea pig to say that is a big, bold claim!
It's not always, that he immediately says yes to the recipes I want to post.
I know so many purists out there would agree, that there's something quite wholesome about eliminating the need for other ingredients.
Although, I don't follow a Paleo diet I can certainly see the merit in producing goof food with minimal fuss, key ingredients, free of additives and let's face it, tasty, tasty, stuff!
Whether you decide to whip these up with other seeds & nuts?
Make them for diet conscientious foodie friends?
Or simply because you need something tasty in a hurry and (happened) to have a whole bag of nuts or seeds.
You will be very glad that you did!
Ingredients: makes approx 40 wafers
300g Australian Macadamia's,
Egg x 1, lightly whisked
2 tbsp water
1/2 to 1tsp salt, to taste
You'll also need some baking trays, baking paper & rolling pin. Along with a food processor if you're crushing your the nuts.
Preheat oven to 180C/356F
Pulse macadamia nuts in a food processor, until fine.
Add 1/2 to 1 tsp of salt, (or to taste.)
Lightly whisk 1 egg & combine with nut meal.
Add up to 2tsbp of water and stir until it forms a soft ball.
Roll between two sheets of baking paper.
Flatten with a rolling pin, using sweeping motions
Lay sheets on a baking tray, using a fork to add the decorative perforation.
Bake at 180C/356F for 10-12 mins, or until golden.
Cool before serving.

The Wizarding World of Hogwarts
I have always enjoyed doing maps. I've worked on a couple of actual map and one day it just hit me that it would be fun to do a map on Hogwarts. So here is a re-imagined map of my all-time favourite story.
Project date: July 2015

For centuries, the kingdom of Alexandria has protected Northern Shala from the monstrous creatures lurking in the Wastelands. Now, a dark force threatens that fragile peace.
Far from home, Alexandria's princess is abducted. When a young villager named Hellsfire stumbles upon her and her captors, he rushes in to rescue her, alone and unarmed. His fear and fury unleash an uncontrollable magical force that grants him the power to save the princess - and change the world.
Hellsfire has never craved nor dreamed of power. But such magic as he now possesses has not been seen in Northern Shala for a thousand years, since the devastation of the War of the Wizards and the creation of the Wastelands.
Now Hellsfire must leave all he's ever known and make a dangerous journey to learn to master this wild, ferocious power - power he knows he is not ready to wield. More difficult still, he needs to master his emotions. If he can't, the power will consume him, Alexandria will fall, and darkness will eclipse the land, destroying everyone he loves.
In the dead of cold, the spark shall burn....

Hellsfire - a unique name for a hero!
- DabOfDarkness
Yes, this was a great book. Its only detracting factor is it's narrator. The ending was great. The final battle lasted over an hour and was awesome.
HELLSFIRE! He really matured throughout the book and grew into ..... a wizard.
The narrator was very monotone, but I was still able to enjoy it.

Class of '10
Chief Budget Analyst for the State of South Dakota
At age 26, Alex knows the opportunity to work in the South Dakota Governor's Budget Office is really unique for someone so young but says that his educational experience at BHSU prepared him well to meet the challenges and demands. Alex leads the team that helps build the governor's budget each fall. His team interacts with every state department and agency, participating in both the budget and legislative processes, lobbying for bills affecting the budget and presenting recommendations to the governor.
Alex says his job is intense and has high turnover, with most Chief Budget Analysts only staying in the position a couple of years. With 2015 marking his fourth year on the job, Alex remains committed to his role.
"We get to make South Dakota a better place to live," said Alex. "And I've had great mentors and leaders to keep me motivated, keep me learning, and help me have fun at work."
Born and raised in Aberdeen, Alex graduated from BHSU with a degree in professional accountancy and management. Dr. Ken Schallenkamp, professor of business law, and Dr. Don Looney, assistant professor of management, shared their time and real-world business experiences with Alex and encouraged him to consider lots of possibilities.
"As a student, I had access to my professors' resources, knowledge, and connections enabling me to accomplish some cool things and take on interesting challenges."
Living in Spearfish, says Alex, is a real "opportunity."
"Having Spearfish Canyon five minutes away is just unreal!" he said.
As Chief Budget Analyst, Alex says his next big goals are to help the governor attain AAA bond rating for the state and to release the state's first formal, long-term budget plan.

Uvdal Stave Church
Nore, Norway
Uvdal Stave Church Nore Reviews
65 reviews
Cosy little church Jul 06, 2008
Nore stave church (Nore stavkyrkje) is a stave church at Nore in Nore og Uvdal municipality, Numedal, Norway and was built after 1167 according to dendrochronological dating.
The church was built with galleries, a chancel and cross naves - an architectural style that was unique in Europe during the Middle Ages. It is called the Nummedals-type. The church also has a central mast, that was originally the support for a tower, mostly likely containing church bells. The walls and ceiling of the interior are decorated with murals, among them scenes from the Bible presented as riddles.
The chancel was replaced in 1683 and the spokes of the nave in the first half of 18th century.
In 1888 Lorentz Dietrichson become the owner of the church and two years later he donated it to Fortidsminneforeningen
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Since I love old buildings I've seen many of the remaining stave churches in Norway but for me this is one is the most beautiful one. It's not only the interior - which is nearly complete - it's the atmosphere in the church. Nore is a tiny village and I really could feel how people in the middle age and earlier came from all the farmhouses around to attend the mass and meet up on sundays.
If I remember right the fee was NOK 50 for adults which is a reasonable price in Norway.

Kathmandu, Feb 17 (IANS) Nepal Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli's upcoming visit to India will be highly successful and bilateral relations will be normalised after the visit, Indian Ambassador to Nepal Ranjit Rae said on Wednesday.
Oli will be accorded a warm welcome in India, and the visit would further strengthen the relationship between Nepal and India, Rae said ahead of the visit that starts on February 19.
Leading a delegation of over 100 members, Oli leaves for a six-day official visit to India on Friday.
Bilateral ties were strained since September last year when Nepal promulgated its new constitution, and India expressed reservations over some of the provisions.
Oli will hold political talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other leaders that will be instrumental in helping clear the misunderstanding, Rae said.
Pointing out that India gives high priority to Oli's visit, the Indian ambassador said the visit would help resolve the differences that emerged between the two countries of late.
"Time and again, we have seen ups and downs in the relations but we have successfully resolved these hiccups through talks," the Indian envoy said.

With a renowned multicultural environment, Brisbane is buzzing with a creative vibe that entices travellers from all over the world. Brisbane's subtropical climate and passion for arts, culture and sport have helped to make it Australia's fastest growing city.
The Brisbane River after which the city is named, flows through the heart of the central business district and metropolitan area, providing the town with various ports for trade and beautiful scenery. Crown Relocations offer a genuine, professional 'one company' standard and have 50 years experience as a market leader in both New Zealand and Australia, contact us today for your move to Brisbane, Australia!
There are many different kinds of visa that migrants to Australia may be eligible for. For information about which types of visa are available to you visit the Department of Immigration and Border Control website. When applying for visas it is now compulsory to complete a skills assessment form. This form requires personal information based on previous work experience and qualifications, this can be found on the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) website.
If you are a New Zealander wanting to live and work in Australia then you are automatically eligible to do so without needing to apply for any kind of specific visa. However a Special Category Visa (SCV) will be assigned on arrival to the country. The SCV allows New Zealanders to live and work in Australia indefinitely. However it does not provide you with the same rights as Australians citizens or permanent residents. New Zealand citizens no longer have an automatic right to a permanent residency in Australia - applications for this must also go through the DIAC.
The currency used in Brisbane is the Australian dollar. Each dollar is worth 100 cents and coins come in denominations of 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents as well as $1 and $2. Notes are $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100. When it comes time to convert your money into Australian dollars there are a number of different options available to you. It's normally discouraged to take large sums of money or travellers cheques with you when relocating to a new country. This is due to the high conversion rates which banks charge to convert your money to a new currency.
Instead of this it's recommended to;
• Set up a bank account in Australia before you arrive in the country.
• Use an online currency transferral company, who provide a much cheaper rate than banks when it comes to converting your money to Australian dollars.
Online transferral companies have been known to save people hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars depending on how much money you are converting.
When it comes to opening an Australian bank account without being in the country yet, there are a number of different banks that provide an online application service. Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, ANZ and NAB all offer an easy web-based sign up process and have received good feedback from former migrants to Australia.
Like the rest of Australia in Brisbane you will see drivers using the left-hand side of the road. The speed limit is 50km/h in built-up areas unless stated otherwise and 100km/h on highways or freeways.
A valid overseas license allows you to drive in the state of Queensland for up to three months after arriving. The conditions of this are that you must:
• Only drive the class of motor vehicle authorised by your license.
• Comply with the conditions (if any) of your license
• Show your license to a police officer when asked to do so
You become ineligible to drive on your overseas license if:
• You are deemed medically unfit to drive safely
• You have been residing in Queensland for over three months on a SCV or resident visa
After three months in Brisbane on an overseas license you're legally required to hold a Queensland State driving license. To obtain a full license you will need to contact one of the local Transport and Motor Service Centres around the Brisbane area.
If you are a New Zealander holding a current New Zealand license then you will not need to pass the written road rules test or the practical driving test to get an Australian license. For more details about how to go about securing an Australian license Click Here. Australia is subject to International Driving regulations – which mean that the acquisition of an International Drivers Permit or license allows overseas drivers to continue driving in Australia without further tests or applications, provided that a current drivers license is still held. More can be found out about International Driving Permits from The National Roads & Motorists' Association website.
In terms of public transport Brisbane City Council boasts one of the largest bus fleets in Australia along with trains and state of the art ferry services. There are also 19 'CityCats' which are modern, sleek ferries as well as nine mono-hull City Ferries, which operate seven days a week and operate along a network of 24 terminals on the Brisbane River, a popular way for people to travel to the CBD. For more information about Brisbane's public transport services including timetables visit the Translink website.
The standard of education is high across most areas of Brisbane. An estimated 70 per cent of school students in the Queensland state are enrolled in the public schooling system – this is the most common choice for expatriates when it comes to deciding where their children will study. Entry into public schools is most commonly determined by whether you are living in the particular zone or boundary of the school.
Brisbane also has over 190 independently run, non-government schools to choose from. It's common for these private schools to have waiting lists so it is advised to inquire as early as possible. If you are having trouble deciding on a school do not hesitate to contact Crown Brisbane for assistance. Schools in Brisbane typically run on a four-term schedule: Term 1 goes from late January through mid-April, Term 2 from late April to early July, Term 3 from mid/late-July to late September and Term 4 from mid-October through mid-December.
Public school students often use public transport as a means of getting to and from school. Student concession cards are available for bus and train services in the Brisbane area. Independent schools often provide their own bus systems for students.
Like other cities in Australia, health care in Brisbane is of an extremely high standard. Brisbane has both public and private health care systems. Most residents are covered under Medicare Australia – the government health agency that is responsible for providing public health services. Medicare provides payments and services that can help when you, or someone you provide care for, use health care services or buy medicines.
Eligibility for Medicare depends on a number of factors. You are able to sign up to Medicare if you:
• Are an Australian or New Zealand citizen
• Are a permanent resident
• Have applied for a permanent visa
• Are covered by a Reciprocal Health Care Agreement with another country.
If you are a New Zealand citizen living in Australia but have not signed up with Medicare then you are still entitled to free emergency services but must pay full price for doctor visits. Medicare provides free hospital care and free or subsidised doctor and specialist visits, however many Australians, almost 50% still opt to get private health insurance. This is recommended by the Australian government as private health insurance covers costs which Medicare does not, such as; ambulance use in emergencies and dental care.
If the insurance company you were with in your home country is a member of the International Federation of Health Funds, you may be able to transfer your policy to Australia without penalty -- at a similar level of cover. Check with your insurance provider for details.
As Australia's fastest growing city, certain areas of Brisbane have seen large population increases - the population of the CBD has doubled in the previous five years. Due to this rapid increase there has been a large number of apartment complexes constructed in the CBD and surrounding metropolitan areas of the city.
As well as apartment living there are a range of different types of housing that are common across Brisbane:
• A typical Queensland home sits high on stilts to help with air circulation, as there are not many homes with air conditioning.
• Colonial, brick and new Tuscan styles.
• Master-planned communities such as North Lakes and Springfield Lakes in the west of Brisbane have been developed with modern-style homes and a renowned community spirit.
Proximity to workplaces and schools are often the deciding factor for expatriates when they are looking for a new home. The most popular areas of Brisbane are; Ascot, Hamilton, Clayfield and Hendra. These suburbs are situated 15 minutes from the airport and CBD with a wide range of private and public schools near by. Other popular areas to live are New Farm and Tenneriffe, which are Brisbane River-side. As well as St Lucia, Indooropilly, Chelmer, Paddington and Bardon which all offer excellent facilities.
There are some restrictions in place when it comes to non permanent residents buying property in Australia, for more information about this please visit the Foreign Investment Review Board website. Expatriates most often choose to rent homes in Brisbane, this is due to high taxes (known as stamp duty) on the purchase of any real estate. When organising a property to rent, landlords typically ask for four to six weeks rent in advance before the collection of keys. There is also a security deposit or bond to be paid before moving in.
For more information on renting a home in Brisbane visit the Residential Tenancies Authority.
The electric current for Australia is 230/250 volts. The electrical Hertz (Hz) is 50 cycles per second, which is compatible with UK appliances. Standard plugs have three flat pins (Australian pattern) and lamp fittings are of the bayonet type. Television and video communications operate on PAL color, System B.
Newcomers to Brisbane most often integrate in to the wider community with ease. It is less common to assimilate into a close-knit group on arrival, however there are multiple newcomer groups that expats can choose to join. Families are typically able to network through either their workplaces or their children's school and corresponding events such as sports and fundraising activities.
Brisbane has a well-renowned sporting culture and attending sports events is a popular choice for a social night out. The vibrant nightlife scene also offers locals with opportunities to socialise in style. There are also several reputable singles networking associations that arrange evening and weekend activities such as dinners at restaurants, sightseeing and touring. For more information on such associations, please contact Crown Brisbane.
