Dissent is a sentiment or philosophy of non-agreement or opposition to a prevailing idea (e.g., a government's policies) or an entity (e.g., an individual or political party which supports such policies). The term's antonyms include agreement, consensus (when all or nearly all parties agree on something) and consent, when one party agrees to a proposition made by another.
In some political systems, dissent may be formally expressed by way of opposition politics, while politically repressive regimes may prohibit any form of dissent, leading to suppression of dissent and the encouragement of social or political activism. Individuals who do not conform or support the policies of certain states are known as "dissidents". Several thinkers have argued that a healthy society needs not only to protect, but also to encourage dissent.
In a well-known letter to Arnold Ruge in 1843, Karl Marx wrote: "if constructing the future and settling everything for all times are not our affair, it is all the more clear what we have to accomplish at present: I am referring to ruthless criticism of all that exists, ruthless both in the sense of not being afraid of the results it arrives at and in the sense of being just as little afraid of conflict with the powers that be".
Dissent! was the name taken for an international network of local groups, which came together to organise opposition to the G8 summit held in Gleneagles Hotel, Perthshire, Scotland in July 2005. Most groups shared an anti-capitalist orientation and anti-authoritarian organizing methods and the network declares itself to be open to anyone prepared to work within the Hallmarks of Peoples' Global Action, an international co-ordination of radical social movements and grassroots campaigns. Dissent acted as a networking tool and created infrastructure which was used by groups with methods of protest ranging from anti-border city tours and street parties to road blockades, graffiti and confrontations with the police.
The network was formed in the autumn of 2003 by a group of people who have previously been involved in radical ecological direct action, Peoples' Global Action, the anti-war movement and the global anti-capitalist movement which has emerged around meetings of those that rule over us.

When I decided to do a cover version of Steely Dan's "FM," also known as "No Static At All," I only had to tell Kristi that I was covering my alarm clock.
The four-note opening phrase to the title track from the 1978 movie, "FM," has been one of my alarm tones for the past year or so. The notes, by the way, are A+C# and B+D, back and forth.
When I aim to cover a song as beloved as "FM," I hardly aim for perfection because Donald Fagen I am not. However, I have a lot of fun with these songs and am making it my mission to cultivate an audience of people my age and older (or younger) who love these songs as much as I do. That's why I started my Facebook page: Ryan Welton Music.
Hope you enjoy this one! And if you do, come find me on Facebook or on my YouTube channel of the same name: Ryan Welton Music.
"FM" lyrics, Steely Dan
Worry the bottle Mama, it's grapefruit wine
Kick off your high heel sneakers, it's party time
The girls don't seem to care what's on
As long as they play till dawn
Nothin' but blues and Elvis
And somebody else's favorite song
Give her some funked up music, she treats you nice
Feed her some hungry reggae, she'll love you twice
The girls don't seem to care tonight
As long as the mood is right
FM – no static at all
Give her some funked up music she treats you nice
Feed her some hungry reggae she'll love you twice
The girls don't seem to care tonight
As long as the mood is right
FM – no static at all

Masinga MP under fire for approving new Sh26m CDF office
The construction of a Sh26 million Constituency Development Fund office in Masinga, Machakos County, has angered residents who say it is a waste of resources.
Those in the Masinga Professional Association said there was no public participation and that there are more pressing matters such as road construction and the allocation of bursaries to needy students.
Masinga member of parliament Joshua Mwalyo defended the decision, saying the CDF office built by his predecessor Itwiku Mbai was "substandard".
"The new office is my decision [sic]. I am the now the holder of the Masinga seat … I run it with my best ideas," Mr Mwalyo said in a WhatsApp group.
"The office which was constructed by Itwiku does not meet the standards of the National Government-CDF. It is like a classroom which cannot be acceptable in my reign. We cannot distribute so much money while in such an office."
He added that pubic participation is only for public infrastructure, not administration matters.
"You decide what office to work in. Even when ministers are appointed they change the faces of their offices by way of new fittings and renovations, "he explained.
Residents dismissed Mr Mwalyo and accused him of being arrogant.
"It is our right to demand accountability. We have the capacity to ask the EACC to investigate the use of the NG-CDF. It cannot be 'I will do what I want. I am the boss'," said one Dr John Musingi.
Dr Musingi also took issue with the appointment of a civil servant to chair the CDF board.
One Mr Kaveva said the construction of the office must be stopped as tenders were not properly advertised.
A tender notice in one of the dailies showed that the committee advertised the construction and supply of furniture for a new office in one tender.
Despite the complaints, trucks have delivered materials to the site.

The Economist refers to SEO research
The authorative British magazine The Economist refers to SEO research on the impact of scarce airport capacity on air fares in its issue of 16 november 2017. SEO concluded that scarce airport capacity inflates fares at European airports by € 2,1 billion per year. This is expected to increase to € 6,3 billion in 2035 due to increasing capacity shortages.
The Economist refers to this SEO research in an article on the current European system of allocating scarce airport capacity to airlines. The system hinders competition and allows airlines to increase air fares. As a result they are generelly not in favour of capacity expansions. The full article is available on the website of The Economist.
The SEO report is accessible through this link.

Background of JEUNESSE
Jeunesse is actually a finest cosmetic making company. Their opening technique is including multi-level advertising and marketing sales system. The business is recognized for its listing of numerous items that are quite preferred nowadays. Randy Ray and Wendy Lewis are expert system online marketers who in fact produced JEUNESSE in 2009.

You could wish to know and also comprehend the business's demands or functions initially before you delve into a conclusion and engage yourself in an organization you're not certain with.

Ash and bone
It is a reminder of the power of fire: homes and bodies reduced to ash and bone; 31 people dead; hundreds missing; 3,500 buildings destroyed, 25,000 people evacuated. The deadliest week of wildfire in California history.
Yesterday, officials in that US state continued to come to terms with a series of simultaneous blazes that broke out on Sunday night in the heart of the popular wine country region. Residents and tourists from all over the world fled to shelters or camped out on beaches as choking smoke thickened. The smog drifted south into San Francisco, creating the worst air quality in the San Francisco Bay Area on record and forcing schools to close yesterday.
"We have found bodies almost completely intact, and we have found bodies that were nothing more than ash and bones," said Sonoma County sheriff Robert Giordano. The conflagration was big enough to swallow New York City, growing to more than 300 square miles.
From our perch here in the hurricane-swept Caribbean, it might all seem surreal. But it is nevertheless a demonstration of the dangers we face come the return of the dry season. We have had our share of wildfires, some because of deliberate action, others due to recklessness.
Every year, our Northern Range is scarred. In some instances, fires are set by landowners in order to dispose of rubbish. This practice is too often done without the requisite permit from fire authorities. The death of forest ranger Keith Campbell is not forgotten. To date, no entity has faced a penalty – whether criminal or civil – for the well-documented string of breaches that culminated in his tragic death.
As California shows, in the right conditions, a fire can cause death. And it can snowball into an almost uncontrollable force. US officials have had to dispatch more than 8,000 firefighters to battle the blaze. Manpower and equipment were brought in from as far away as Australia.
There is the lingering question of the capacity of our own Fire Service as well as that entity's ability to function effectively. Judging from recent experiences, while much headway has been made, the Service is still fettered by poor infrastructure as well as questions of maladministration.
A $150 million fire last month saw complaints raised over the Fire Service's inability to bring the blaze under control quickly enough due to a sporadic supply of water.
In the same month, a high court judge also deemed an administrative action by the office of the Chief Fire Officer to be unlawful. The Fire Service had sought to make a business owner – whose property was damaged by a nearby fire – pay a fee to have access to the official fire report. Perhaps the ruling will change the approach of the Fire Service, which stands accused of placing the needs of the insurance sector ahead of the public. There is little that is a greater threat to the public interest than a fire.
But by and large the biggest threat is posed not by bureaucrats but by ordinary people. Pollution, which sees flammable materials left in the environment, as well as poor land practices are the main aggravating factors in relation to bush fires. We know what our weather patterns are. Yet, every year there are some people who insist on breaching the law by setting fires on their land, regardless of the great risk.
The scale of the disaster in California is no doubt worsened by the climate. But that is no reason to discount the show of fire's deadly reach.

People who felt a wide variety of positive emotions—not just one, like being happy—had lower levels of inflammation throughout their body.
Have you ever been "too happy to be angry"? For the first year or so, while my brain was getting used to running on estrogen, I was in that space. The association of physical symptoms to inner emotions is a further reinforcement of the physical effects of mental rumination.

Dining out has become so common that many of us that sit for a meal probably do not consider what goes into a dining experience behind the scenes, having not worked in the business. What I recently found most interesting about the behind the scenes activities is what restaurant consultants and menu engineers get paid to do by many top tier eateries. The menu consultant is a relatively new niche that has paid tremendous dividends to the restaurants bottom line which explains the boom in popularity.
Significant thought and planning goes into properly nudging the customers decision making process toward the way the restaurant wants you to choose the food you eat.
Listed below are only five of the many ways restaurants use psychological tactics to get you to spend more money, trust me when I tell you that there are many more:
1. Have you noticed many restaurants defer from using dollar signs before the listed price of the dish? The dollar sign is one of the top printable characters that most all restaurants avoid using. The symbols initial interpretation to the customer is a reminder they are about to spend money, triggering a slight pull back response to higher ticket meals as negative feelings can enter their thinking, resulting in less money pulled from their wallet or purses.
2. How is the difference of the last two numbers to the right of the decimal interpreted by consumers? (Eg1: .09 – .95 and .99 ) Menu items ending in .99 tend to signify value as opposed to .95 which is more effective as it appears friendlier and not as close to the next higher dollar amount. That is why menu consultants advise their clients to scrap the entire idea of adding the decimal and the numbers to follow, making the menu easier to decide from but increasing the price if only by a few cents.
3. Using extremely descriptive language is a new approach to offering menu items. Using creative and clever wording has proven to increase sales on many menu items when compared to those that do not have such descriptions.
As an example the item would read something like this. "Maryland Style Crab Cakes: Hand rolled, Chesapeake lump crab meat with a touch of sweet mayonnaise, our secret blend of herbal seasoning encrusted in golden cracker crumbs, creating our one of a kind, signature crab cakes".
The words description brings a high level of sensory experience to the customer who is reading over the menu. Similar to how a professional server can tantalize the table with their descriptive terms when explaining the evenings special's and both deliveries typically add more money to the total bill. Additionally it leaves the customer with a more satisfied sensation an the meals end and continue right on through to the desert menu.
Note: I do not intend to include chain restaurants gross misuse of descriptions when using other company names to sell their poor meals such as 'Jack Daniels sauce atop our Angus Beef Burger'. Its not a novel idea and a poor marketing ploy only Well Doner's would fall for. (A Well Doner is someone that orders a steak well done, basically cooking out any of the steaks flavor)
4. Connecting food to family is another useful and popular way menu designers drive traffic to a particular item. Customers are drawn to names of relatives such as Aunt's and Grandmothers. It is likely that Grandmas Homemade Meatballs or Aunt Margie's Beef Stew sell better than without their names involved.
5. Using expensive items as decoys to draw your attention to a slightly less expensive item is a tactic employed by many fine dining restaurants. The idea is as follows. The restaurant is betting that the customer will not buy the most expensive menu item, but is likely to spend on the second most expensive menu item or one closer in price, believing they are getting a similar item at a more reasonable price, that is the trap.
The reason the $120 item is on the menu is that it stands out as likely the only triple digit menu item and distracts the customer into thinking that all other dishes near it appear more of a bargain yet the entire menu in the same time can be increased in price. What the customer does not realize is that they will receive a smaller portion at a relatively higher price based on what goes into the food cost of the meal. Exactly what the restaurant wanted all along.

September 8, 1504: Michelangelo's David was unveiled in Florence. The statue represents the Biblical hero David, a favored subject in the art of Florence. Originally commissioned as one of a series of statues of prophets to be positioned along the roofline of the east end of Florence Cathedral, the statue was instead placed in a public square, outside the Palazzo della Signoria, the seat of civic government in Florence.
September 9, 1739: The Stono Rebellion, the largest slave uprising in the American colonies prior to the Revolution, erupted near Charleston, South Carolina. the uprising was led by Catholic Kongolese. Their leader, Jemmy, was a literate slave who led 20 other enslaved Kongolese, who may have been former soldiers, in an armed march south from the Stono River. They recruited nearly 60 other slaves and killed 22–25 whites before being intercepted by the South Carolina militia near the Edisto River. In that battle, 20 whites and 44 slaves were killed, and the rebellion was largely suppressed. Most of the captured slaves were executed, while survivors were to the West Indies. In response to the rebellion, the South Carolina legislature passed the Negro Act of 1740 restricting slave assembly, education, and movement. It also enacted a 10-year moratorium against importing African slaves, and established penalties against slaveholders' harsh treatment of slaves. It required legislative approval for manumissions, which slaveholders had previously been able to arrange privately.
September 10, 1972: The United States suffered its first loss of an international basketball game in a disputed match against the Soviet Union at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany. With the U.S. team trailing 49–48 in the waning seconds of the contest, American guard Doug Collins stole a Soviet pass at halfcourt and was fouled hard by Zurab Sakandelidze as he drove toward the basket, being knocked down into the basket stanchion. With three seconds remaining on the game clock, Collins was awarded two free throws and sank the first to tie the score at 49. Just as Collins lifted the ball to begin his shooting motion in attempting the second free throw, the horn from the scorer's table sounded, marking the beginning of a chain of events that left the game's final three seconds mired in controversy.
September 11, 1893: Parliament of the World's Religions opened in Chicago, where Swami Vivekananda delivered his famous speech on fanaticism, tolerance and the truth inherent in all religions. The 1893 Parliament, which ran from 11 to 27 September, had marked the first formal gathering of representatives of Eastern and Western spiritual traditions. Today it is recognized as the occasion of the birth of formal interreligious dialogue worldwide.
September 12, 490 BCE: Though the date is subject of some debate, the Athenians and their Plataean allies, defeated the first Persian invasion force of Greece. The Battle of Marathon was a watershed in the Greco-Persian wars, showing the Greeks that the Persians could be beaten; the eventual Greek triumph in these wars can be seen to begin at Marathon. Since the following two hundred years saw the rise of the Classical Greek civilization, which has been enduringly influential in western society, the Battle of Marathon is often seen as a pivotal moment in European history. The battle is perhaps now more famous as the inspiration for the marathon race. Although thought to be historically inaccurate, the legend of the Greek messenger Pheidippides running to Athens with news of the victory became the inspiration for this athletic event, introduced at the 1896 Athens Olympics, and originally run between Marathon and Athens.
September 13, 1814: In a turning point in the War of 1812, the British fail to capture Baltimore. During the battle, Francis Scott Key composed his poem "Defence of Fort McHenry," which is later set to music and becomes the United States' national anthem. Key, accompanied by the British Prisoner Exchange Agent Colonel John Stuart Skinner, dined aboard the British ship HMS Tonnant, as the guests of the British Skinner and Key were there to negotiate the release of prisoners, one of whom was Dr. William Beanes, who had been arrested after putting rowdy stragglers under citizen's arrest. Skinner, Key, and Beanes were not allowed to return to their own sloop because they had become familiar with the strength and position of the British units and with the British intent to attack Baltimore. As a result of this, Key was unable to do anything but watch the bombarding of the American forces at Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore on the night of September 13–14, 1814.
September 14, 1975: The first American saint, Elizabeth Ann Seton, was canonized by Pope Paul VI. On 31 July 1809, Elizabeth established a religious community in Emmitsburg, Maryland dedicated to the care of the children of the poor. It was the first congregation of religious sisters to be founded in the United States, and its school was the first free Catholic school in America. This modest beginning marked the start of the Catholic parochial school system in the United States. The order was initially called the Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph. From that point on, she became known as "Mother Seton".

August 11, 1942: Actress Hedy Lamarr and composer George Antheil received a patent for a Frequency-hopping spread spectrum communication system that later became the basis for modern technologies in wireless telephones and Wi-Fi. The early version of frequency hopping used a piano roll to change between 88 frequencies and was intended to make radio-guided torpedoes harder for enemies to detect or jam. However, the idea was not implemented in the USA until 1962, when it was used by U.S. military ships during a blockade of Cuba after the patent had expired. Consequently, the patent was little known until 1997, when the Electronic Frontier Foundation gave Lamarr a belated award for her contributions.
August 12, 30 BCE: Cleopatra VII Philopator, the last ruler of the Egyptian Ptolemaic dynasty, committed suicide. Formerly involved with Julius Caesar, after Caesar's assassination in 44 BC, she aligned with Mark Antony in opposition to Caesar's legal heir, Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (later known as Augustus). With Antony, she bore the twins Cleopatra Selene II and Alexander Helios, and another son, Ptolemy Philadelphus. After losing the Battle of Actium to Octavian's forces, Antony committed suicide. Cleopatra followed suit, according to tradition killing herself by means of an asp bite.
August 13, 1918: Opha May Johnson (2 Feb 1900 – Jan 1976) was the first woman to enlist officially in the United States Marine Corps,

August 14, 1952: Three-time Olympic champion, and a former world record-holder at three distances, Deborah Meyer was born in Annapolis, Maryland. Meyer won the 200-, 400-, and 800-meter freestyle swimming races in the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. While she was still a 16-year old student at Rio Americano High School in Sacramento, California, she became the first swimmer to win three individual gold medals in one Olympics. Meyer is still the only woman Olympian to win three individual freestyle swimming gold medals in one Olympics, namely the 200-, 400- and 800-meter freestyle events. No swimmer has ever done this in any other combination of distances
August 15, 1970: Patricia Palinkas became the first woman to play professionally in an American football game. She was a placekick holder for her husband Steven Palinkas for the minor league Orlando Panthers in the Atlantic Coast Football League. On her first play, against the Bridgeport Jets, Palinkas was attacked by Jets defenseman Wally Florence, who admittedly attempted to "break her neck" as punishment for what he perceived to be "making folly with a man's game." Palinkas went on to appear four more times: three consecutive successful extra point kicks, and a field goal attempt that was blocked.
August 16, 1902: Georgette Heyer was born in Wimbledon, London. She was named after her father, George Heyer. Her mother, Sylvia Watkins, studied both cello and piano and was one of the top three students in her class at the Royal College of Music. Heyer became a prolific and commercially successful historical romance and detective fiction novelist. Her writing career began in 1921, when she turned a story for her younger brother into the novel The Black Moth. Heyer essentially invented the historical romance and created the sub-genre of the Regency romance. At the time of her death, in 1974, forty-eight of her books were still in print, including her first novel.
August 17, 1953: Herta Müller, a German-Romanian novelist, poet, essayist and recipient of the 2009 Nobel Prize in Literature. was born in Nițchidorf, Romania. Müller is noted for her works depicting the effects of violence, cruelty and terror, usually in the setting of Communist Romania under the repressive Nicolae Ceaușescu regime which she has experienced herself. Many of her works are told from the viewpoint of the German minority in Romania and are also a depiction of the modern history of the Germans in the Banat, and Transylvania. Her much acclaimed 2009 novel The Hunger Angel (Atemschaukel) portrays the deportation of Romania's German minority to Stalinist Soviet Gulags during the Soviet occupation of Romania for use as German forced labor. In 2009, the Swedish Academy awarded Müller the Nobel Prize in Literature, describing her as a woman "who, with the concentration of poetry and the frankness of prose, depicts the landscape of the dispossessed."

Wulf Gaertner (Osnabrück) & Lars Schwettmann (Wittenberg): "Bargaining over Losses"
28 February 2018, 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm
Abstract: We conduct a lab-experimental study of bargaining over the distribution of monetary losses. Groups of four participants who are differently endowed in terms of real money must agree, as a group, on the contribution each participant will make to cover a financial loss imposed on this group. The study sheds light on burden sharing and what loss allocation rules groups adopt. The rule to share the loss in proportion to the initial endowment which was found in experiments dealing with bequest or bankruptcy receives only little support in our experiments. The constrained equal awards rule and a rule that we conceived, a rule that focuses on an equal share of the total loss and a weighted difference between the own initial endowment of a player and the average endowment over all players, get much more support. We introduced several variations of our basic game. One variant which stages a knowledge quiz at the beginning of the experiment, shows in comparison with the base game (a) that the most successful player tends to offer less and (b) that the other players seem to honour this player's success.

Election years affect Kenya's economy negatively due to the unpredictable nature of the political climate. 2017 was particularly exceptional because the election period lasted longer than usual and in turn, the uncertainty regarding stability dragged on for a while. Most businesses were on a go slow in 2017, and Kenya's economy growth was lower than expected. The experts now predict that 2018 is the year for Kenya to bounce back economically. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that the political arena appears to be settling and most business operations are back to normal.
Kenyan Economy Growth and Statistical Facts
The Kenya economy growth was estimated at 4.8 percent in 2017. This figure is low compared to the Central Bank of Kenya estimation of a 5.1 percent economic growth in 2017. The CBK must have seen this decline in growth because the 5.1 percent prediction was revised from the initial estimation of 5.7 percent. This Kenya economy news was largely attributed to the long and tense political environment.
READ ALSO: I owe Uhuru Kenyatta and Jubilee an apology for all the doubts I had about the Standard Gauge Railway
Another estimation that came close to the actual figure was that of the World Bank. The World Bank cut Kenya's economy growth in 2017 to 4.9 percent. The World Bank also explained that the estimation was due to a prolonged election period that was unexpected. The constant tension regarding a possible outbreak of violence. Statistically, this growth is the weakest in the last five years.
In 2018, the Kenyan economy will experience an estimated growth of 5.8 percent. This figure may seem unrealistic compared to Kenya economy 2017, but it is possible. To begin with, 2017 was an election year, and a decrease in growth is historically expected.
In 1992, for example, the Kenyan economy collapsed and shrank by 0.8 percent. 1992 marked Kenya's first multiparty election. This trend is just a general tension around the election and the possibility of a new government. A new government comes with new policies and regulations that could affect existing businesses. There is also the fear of possible violence disputing the results as was experienced in 2007/2008.
While a multiparty system set the trend for a decline in the growth of Kenya's economy, devolution has done the opposite. A change in economic and political governance influenced increased accountability and improved service delivery in local regions. By 2016, the economic growth was at 5.8 percent. This figure made Kenya one of the fastest growing economies in Sub-Saharan Africa. Besides a new system of governance, a boost in tourism, a stable macroeconomic environment, infrastructure initiatives led by the government, and low oil prices influenced the significant economic growth.
Negative travel advisories mostly from Western countries that are major tourist countries contribute significantly to the economic decline in Kenya during election years. Tourism is a major contributor to Kenya's income which is why the slightest decline has a notable negative impact. Investors also seem to play it safe during the election period to avoid making any losses.
Kenya Economic Development 2018
Although the predictions estimate a positive growth in 2018, there are several factors that could hinder this growth. The Ministry of Finance cites adverse weather and public spending pressure (especially from recurrent expenditure) as some of the risks on positive economic growth.
The ministry has a plan to ensure that these two factors do not affect the growth of Kenya's economy. It is no news that the budget deficit affects economic growth negatively. In the financial year that ended in June 2017, Kenya's budget deficit was at 8.9 percent of the gross domestic product. This is an undeniable Kenya economy fact that doesn't sit so well on our books. The plan by the government is to cut the deficit to 6.0 percent of gross domestic product within the next financial year that starts in July 2018. The government targets to bring this figure down further to 3.0 percent by the year 2022.
The country's budget could also rise from Ksh.2.32 trillion in the 2017/2018 financial year to Ksh.2.49 trillion in the 2018/2019 financial year. This means that the budget will go from 27 percent of the gross domestic product to 26 percent of the gross domestic product.
Additionally, officials in the country plan to issue 10-year and 30-year Eurobonds through a roadshow. Finance and economics experts estimate the value of these Eurobonds to be $1.5 billion which is over Ksh.151 billion. This will help reduce the budget deficit and bolster the Kenya economy today.

Besides government effort, the return to normalcy will also aid Kenya's economic growth in 2018. The tourism industry always bounces back after the election period especially if the election was peaceful. Most Western countries withdraw the negative travel advisories once the country resumes normal functioning. Although the next move by the opposition is unknown, Kenyans are slowly returning to their normal lives. Most businesses are also recovering from the loss of income experienced during the prolonged election period. Infrastructural initiatives over the next year will also boost economic growth as they have in the past.

Mother Nature has a lot to offer in San Diego, making it a scenic destination for campers. Below are some of the best places for camping in San Diego for all tastes. These destinations include the best ocean views, mountain scenes, and desert landscapes.
1. San Elijo State Beach
If it's family-friendly camping in San Diego you're after, San Elijo is a great choice. The beach campground is super popular for kids who love playing and riding their bikes. There's a wooden staircase that leads down to the beach where they can enjoy making sand castles or other water activities. There's a seaside market across the street so necessities are never out of reach.
2. Silver Strand State Beach
Silver Strand is one of the state's best recreation and camping destinations. Enjoy swimming, surfing, water-skiing, and boating in the Pacific Ocean or San Diego Bay. If you long for the thrill of deep sea fishing, this is your chance to angle for perch, grunion, corbina, and yellow-fin croaker. The campground on the side of the San Diego Bay offers views of the Bay. Unlike some other campgrounds, this one only allows campers in self-contained recreational vehicles, motorhomes, or trailers.
3. South Carlsbad State Beach Campground
This is another great place to go camping in San Diego that's right beside the beach! There are also lots of activities including surfing, skin diving, swimming, and fishing. There are picnic tables and fire pits at the campsites for the traditional feel of 'camping out.' The on-site camp store means you don't have to 'rough it' if you don't want to. This is a low-key campsite that is only thirty miles from San Diego. It's a great way to beach camp for anyone who doesn't want to travel too far from home.
4. Cuyamaca Rancho State Park
This state park takes you away from the beach and 5,000 feet up and into the mountains. It's especially appealing to hikers who appreciate somewhat challenging and scenic trails. The park boasts more than 100 miles of trails for hikers, bikers, and equestrians. There are two family camps, including Paso Picacho and Green Valley. Nearby Lake Cuyamaca also offers fishing and boating. You can even rent your tent instead of bringing your own. Another option is to rent a cabin and sleep in full-size bunk beds.
5. The Ranch at Bandy Canyon
The Ranch at Bandy Canyon is the ultimate destination for anyone who needs a luxurious setting to go camping in San Diego. The Ranch is 144 acres in San Pasqual Valley, compete with rustic cabins designed with comfort in mind. Each cabin has a different design, some with a loft or wraparound porch. Others feature brick and lantern decorations, and other unique designs. It's easy to forget you're camping when you swim in the beautiful on-site swimming pool featuring a poolside bar. Other activities include a petting zoo and horseback-riding lessons.
The Ranch is a popular wedding venue and the campground is often booked up on the weekends during summer months. They also take reservations for Holiday parties and retreats. Book your reservation early or visit during the week when reservations are easier to get.
6. Vallecito County Park
Vallecito, or "little valley", is a 71-acre county park that was built around the historic Butterfield Stage Station. There are 44 primitive campsites, along with eight equestrian campsites with corrals. There's also a youth area with additional camping options. A large covered picnic area gives you room to socialize in the middle of a secluded campground area. Vallecito allows dogs, making it a welcome campground for families who want to take their four-legged family members along. Always check out the policy for pets before bringing yours along on your camping trips. Some campgrounds include leash rules, dog fees, or have limits on the size of pets they allow.
Agua Caliente Regional Park is just four miles to the south, while Anza-Borrego Desert State Park is also nearby. The site is used as a venue for weddings, special events, fitness, recreation, and corporate events. There's also a historic stage station to add authenticity to the rustic feel of the campground.
7. Mount Laguna
There aren't a lot of features that qualify Mount Laguna as a retreat. However, the beauty of the Laguna Mountain region and the peaceful atmosphere are all some campers need. It does have some unique features including the natural areas, cooler temperatures, and an extensive trail system. Create your personal hiking trail through Noble Canyon, Wildhorse, Pine Mountain, or Cutca.
The natural areas that are unique to Mount Laguna include a fenced-off area used to protect the habitat of the Laguna Skipper butterfly. In addition, the area is home to many species of birds. Laguna Lake sits near the campground, giving hikers even more opportunities to see and photograph some unique natural sights.
8. Bow Willow Campground
Camping in the desert is an incomparable experience. Camping at Bow Willow Campground only amplifies the feelings of seclusion and openness that the desert can provide. Bow Willow only offers 16 campsites which include picnic tables and ramadas. There is no running water, so make sure you come prepared. The open landscape is the perfect setting for stargazing that is out-of-this-world. If you want to feel alone in the universe, this is the best place to go camping in San Diego for you.
Bow Willow encompasses 85,000 acres, with elevations that range from 300 to 4,500 feet. During the day, hike the Emigrant Trail which passes through the region. The trail's terrain is highly diverse and incredibly scenic. The Volcanic Hills area offers accessible lava flow. If you visit during a wet year, you can see the eruption of yellow-flowered Brittlebush in the area.
9. Lazy Sky Boutique Retreat
This campground resides in Yucca Valley and it features five tepees and canvas tents. The tents include bed frames with fresh sheets and towels. Each unit includes a shared bathroom with two toilets and an outdoor shower. There's also a fully equipped kitchen, barbecue grill, and a patio dining area. If you don't think camping in San Diego should be a rustic occasion, head over to Pappy & Harriet's to listen to the live music. It's also close to Pioneertown, where visitors can take a 'sound bath' at Integratron, the big white dome that attracts many tourists, even after 60 years. The sound bath is a healing experience that takes place in the acoustically perfect building designed for time travel and to communicate with extraterrestrials.
10. Indian Cove Campground
The otherworldly feel of Indian Cove is due to nature's boulders and rock formations, rather than a manmade structure. Like many of the other campgrounds in San Diego, this one includes the basics of fire pits, outhouses, and picnic tables. What it doesn't include is water or a camp store. There aren't a lot of amenities, but it is a photographer's dream. The experience of sleeping within the rock formation and viewing the sky at night make it an incomparable camping experience. You can also explore Joshua Tree during the day, just 13 miles away.
One place to visit is Lost Horse Mine. Lost Horse Road leads to an old relic from the gold rush days. It's a moderate trail that includes a lot of scenery. The Joshua trees are the ones that inspired Dr. Seuss in his series of kids' books.
Planning Your San Diego Camping Trip
Several factors determine which of these destinations is the right one for your camping trip. For some campers, it's all about roughing it. They long to feel at one with nature. For others, the more luxury they can add to their accommodations, the better.
Camping with the family might seem to leave you with fewer options. Kids might not be on-board with sleeping outdoors or hiking long trails. The first step in planning your hiking trip is o think about what aspects are important to you. Do you want family-friendly entertainment? Is it the chance to take stunning photographs? Or just your annual outing to get away from work and de-stress? Even the most similar sounding campsites offer different amenities that set them apart. Some are also more likely to be filled up than others.
Camping is a different experience in an RV than in a tent. Electric hookups and running water are all located inside the enclosure. You have to decide if these factors are important to you, or if you want a minimalist experience.
Once you have a destination, make your reservation. If your first choice isn't available, you may have to go back to the drawing board. When you make a reservation, ask what is supplied and what you must bring.
Finally, think about the activities you want. Most campers aren't content to spend an entire week hiking along trails. Would you be happier close to a beach where there are more options to enjoy? If you're bringing the kids, be prepared with ways to keep them entertained. If they aren't happy, you probably won't be either.
San Diego: By Land and By Sea!
Even if camping in San Diego is your idea of a perfect vacation, you aren't limited from enjoying other activities. The number of campgrounds by the beach put you in the perfect situation to charter a catamaran. These multi-hull sailboats are extra steady for a more relaxing time on the water. That makes them safe and fun for kids and adults. You also have the option to customize your charter to enjoy the activities at the top of your list. Whale watching, swimming, and Anchor & Play activities are just some of the options you have with a San Diego charter.
Contact Adventuress Luxury Catamaran to learn more about our charters or to book yours. Whether you want to add a few hours or a few days on the water to your San Diego adventure, we're here to provide the details that will make your sailing experience memorable. It's a great way to see some of the natural beauty of San Diego and to relax and unwind. Let us help you plan the luxurious adventure to complement your time camping in San Diego perfectly!

Grade 5-6 students will get the opportunity to try out new sports during this October school holidays with the Burnie Try Skills Program offering some great opportunities for students to get active.
The program aims to encourage an active lifestyle and participation by young people in the sports provided by clubs and organisations in the Burnie region. The program is open to young people from grade 5 to 6 and is delivered by Council's Business and Recreation team, during the October school holidays.
Burnie City Council Mayor Steve Kons said "we have targeted grade 5 and 6 students intentionally for this program. These students are soon to enter High School where the barriers to starting new sports start to creep in - things like skill level intensify, increased cost, things get very busy all of a sudden and peer pressure and insecurity start to play a part in student's lives.
"To provide a chance for students to try different sports before they transition to High School is invaluable, and if they find something they like, make some new friends and decide to take up a sport…well that is our ultimate goal."
The Try Skills Program allows students to try their skills at various sports guided by qualified coaches supplied from local sporting clubs. The Burnie City Council provides program administration and waives all ground and venue hire fees. There is no cost to students and no cost to clubs.
This October we have the following sports available for students to try – archery, badminton, basketball, baseball, cricket, dance, gymnastics, karate, track cycling, tennis and touch footy. Students can try as many sports as they wish, and if they would like to try them all they can.
Mayor Kons said "We are creating an inclusive and healthy community through by fostering programs such as Try Skills. These values are consistent with our community strategic plan Making Burnie 2030 that we are working toward

Agents talk a lot about query letter writing and how we manage the slush pile. There's the flip side of that too: once we request your material what happens? Well today, you get inside my brain. This is how I read requested material and how you make yours stand out:
1. I read on my iPad
I don't print manuscripts out until I sign them and start to work on them. So I'm trying to see if I enjoy the writing and pair the writing with a name or book title to distinguish one manuscript from the other.
Lesson: Formatting! For the love of pete number your pages and title your file something like: Author Last Name BOOK TITLE. I don't want to play a guessing game about which manuscript matches which query. The last thing I want is confusion when I'm trying to organize my slush. I also ask for a synopsis pasted into the first page of the manuscript document so that I can jog my memory and refer back to it.
2. I read 3-10 partials in a row
I'm not sitting down to indulge in one story, I'm sitting down to get through the virtual stack of manuscripts. Often it is between 3-10 when I start to read. That's 3-10 different authors, voices, characters, plots and things to keep straight. When I read partials and other requested material I'm reading for plot, pace and potential. All I want is to be drawn in more than the story before that one. Continue reading How I Read Slush: 3 Lessons for Writers

While habitat loss is the leading cause of bird population declines, recent research estimates that billions of birds are directly killed in the U.S. each year by various human–caused actions including predation by feral or free roaming cats, collisions with buildings, cars, and other structures, and agricultural chemicals. Individual citizens, businesses, homeowners, and land managers can all help save millions of birds by reducing or eliminating these direct sources of mortality.

Baker Institute founding director Edward P. Djerejian is part of an independent Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)-sponsored task force calling for improved U.S.-Turkey relations.
In its May 2012 report titled "U.S.-Turkey Relations: A New Partnership," the task force advocates for a relationship that reflects "not only common American-Turkish interests, but also Turkey's new stature as an economically and politically successful country with a new role to play in a changing Middle East."
Djerejian was one of 23 experts asked to participate in the task force. The group is chaired by former secretary of state Madeleine K. Albright, who is also an ex officio member of the Baker Institute advisory board, and former national security adviser Stephen J. Hadley, and is directed by Steven A. Cook, CFR's Hasib J. Sabbagh Senior Fellow for Middle Eastern Studies.
