Myanmar is full of old world charm and you will discover a way of life that is unknown in the World that we live in. You will uncover a diverse and beautiful country that features breath-taking landscapes, serene people and a Buddhist culture.
It really is a destination like no other country.
This example below is just one of our Myanmar tours is ideal for first time travellers to the country.
Suggested Itinerary
- DAY 1 / Arrive Yangon
- Yangon is a city where contemporary and colonial Myanmar continue to coexist decades after British departure. It is a handsome city with a history of over two millennia, though it has been a capital for a mere 100 years. Rebuilt on a grid plan in the 1850s, the wide tree-lined boulevards are bordered by fine stone buildings. In the 1880s, Yangon was renowned as "the Queen of the East". Today, Yangon bustles without urgency, high-rise buildings, traffic jams or department stores. Instead, small shops sell everything from antique lacquer-ware to silver-backed dressing table sets left over from colonial days.
Overnight: The Strand Hotel
- DAY 2 / Yangon - Heho - Inle Lake
- This morning you are transferred to the airport to board a flight to Heho. Upon arrival you are met and continue on to Inle Lake, surrounded by the Shan Hills. The small charming Inle Lake View Resort is a small boutique hotel on the west shores of the spectacular Inle Lake.
Afternoon sightseeing will include a visit to the Phaung Daw U Pagoda which enshrines five golden Buddha images carried back to Myanmar by the 12th century King Alaungsithu upon his return from the Malay Peninsula. The images were deposited in a cave near the lake and were not rediscovered until centuries later. Since their relocation to this pagoda, however, they have been covered with so much gold leaf that they look more like balls of gold than Buddha figures.
Overnight: Inle Princess Resort
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
- DAY 3 / Inle Lake
- Begin your day with a visit to the five day market. This rotating market changes locations every five days and is where the local hill tribes come to buy and sell their goods. Items range from handmade crafts to produce grown on the floating gardens. Take notice of the colourful outfits worn by the different hill tribes as they barter in this lively setting.
Overnight: Inle Princess Resort
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
- DAY 4 / Heho - Keng Tung
- In the morning you are driven to the airport to fly to Keng Tung via Mandalay and Tachileik. Arrive in Keng Tung in the early afternoon when you will be met and transferred to Princess Hotel. Keng Tung is a stunning place in the Eastern Shan State with many colourful ethnic tribes. Places of interest around Keng Tung are the spa, Naung Tong Lake, Sunn Taung Monastery, the central market and traditional lacquerware works and a weaving factory. There are many villages of various ethnic tribes around Keng Tung. The tribes known as Gon, Lwe, Li, Wa, La Hu, Thai Nay, Shan, Li Shaw, Li Su, Palaung and Akha are only discernable by their differing colourful costumes.
Overnight: Princess Hotel
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
- DAY 5 / Keng Tung
- This will be followed by a very gentle and beautiful walk downhill along an old British pony track through numerous Akha ethnic villages. In these villages you will be able to enjoy their generous hospitality, take some wonderful photos and generally converse with a people little changed over the centuries. Wander through forests, along terraced rice paddies, through villages all the while enjoying wonderful views of this breathtaking scenery in the eastern Shan State.
Overnight: Princess Hotel
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
- DAY 6 / Keng Tung - Yangon
- After breakfast you will visit the central market which bustles each morning from 6 to 11 am. The market offers products from China and Thailand and also has local traditional clothing, antique coins and other implements for sale which all make good souvenirs.
In the afternoon you are transferred to the airport to fly to Yangon via Heho and Mandalay. Upon arrival you are met and transferred to either the Strand Hotel, Governor's Residence or Traders Hotel.
Overnight: TBC
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch
- DAY 7 / Yangon - Sittwe - Mrauk U
- This morning, you are transferred to the airport to fly to Sittwe. Upon arrival, you are met and driven to Mrauk U. On the way visit Mahamuni Pagoda in Kyauktaw. Arrive Mrauk U and transfer to your hotel.
Overnight: Mrauk U Princess Hotel
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
- DAY 8 / Mrauk U
- After breakfast, visit Shittaung Temple which means the temple of 80,000 images and was built by King Min Ba Gree in 1533 A.D. Continue to Htutkan Thein, Andaw Thein and Thet Village to meet the Rohinga tribe (ethnic Bangladeshis). Then visit the temple of 90,000 images, Koe Thaung Temple, which was built by King Min Teikkha of the 22nd Mrauk U dynasty.
This afternoon visit the informative Mrauk U Museum and then climb the Haritaung Pagoda for a breathtaking view of Mrauk U at sunset. The rolling hills, medieval pagodas and simple village life offer the perfect panorama of rural life.
Overnight: Mrauk U Princess Hotel
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
- DAY 9 / Mrauk U
- After early breakfast, set off from the hotel. Stop at a local market to buy some medication for the Chin Village. After that board a boat for the trip to the tattooed village. Sit back and enjoy the tranquil scenery as you potter along the Lemro river en route to Chin hills. Pass by numerous villages that seemingly have not changed in centuries and witness traditional river life.
Overnight: Mrauk U Princess Hotel
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
- DAY 10 / Mrauk U - Sittwe - Depart Yangon
- This morning, enjoy a boat ride back to Sittwe and upon arrival, you are transferred to the airport to board a morning flight to Yangon. Arrive in Yangon late morning where you are met and transferred to the city for final sightseeing.
Today, visit the National Museum, the showpiece of which is the Lion's Throne. The throne, made of wood and inlaid with gold and lacquer work, is a striking example of the Myanmar art of woodcarving. The throne was taken from Mandalay in 1886 by the English and later returned in 1964 as a goodwill gesture.
Then stop at the Reclining Buddha Pagoda, which is not actually a pagoda, but a pavilion housing a 230 foot statue. Also within the pagoda enclosure is a centre devoted to the study of sacred Buddhist manuscripts. About 600 monks live in the monastery and spend their days studying and meditating.
Lunch at Padonmar Restaurant. Afternoon transfer to the International Airport for your departure flight.
Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch
We will arrange your flights from the UK as well as private airport transfers upon arrival.

When raising hedgehogs, sometimes it becomes necessary to hand feed the babies. Situations where hedgehog babies should be hand fed include mom neglecting or hurting the babies, or the mother becoming sick and not being able to care for the babies. I've had a few people ask about whether or not they should maybe hand feed their hedgie babies to improve socialization, but I haven't seen any evidence that hand fed babies are any better or worse socialized than mom-raised babies, and I have seen that hand feeding hedgie babies is a risky endeavor, at best. Many hand fed babies do not survive, despite the best efforts of the caretaker, so it's my opinion that it shouldn't be attempted unless there is no available foster mother and the babies would otherwise not have any chance to survive. That said, here's a list of some of the things we have found helpful when hand feeding:

When i set up profiles for each in the logitech profiler these settings dont seem to be taking effect when i hop from sim to sim. For example i like to use 900 degrees for Assetto Corsa and 270 for stock car extreme,changing between each profile doesnt seem to reflect my desired setting, it just stays onthe previous profiles settings, any ideas?

Just two more weeks until Comic-Con again takes over San Diego.
While you won't see me cosplaying as Supergirl, Leeloo, Imperator Furiosa or Harley Quinn at this year's San Diego International Comic-Con, I will still be on the ground, geeking out. I'm pretty psyched to check out what kinds of experiential marketing entertainment brands will be bringing to life.
As with every year, there are sure to be plenty of award-worthy activations, and we're going to try to catch a glimpse of the most noteworthy ones.
Before the melee begins, we're targeting the event's biggest newly announced highlights. Here's what we're most excited about so far:
A Special Live Anniversary Show of Nickelodeon's Double Dare
Praise the Millennial gods! What was probably the world's messiest trivia game on television is ringing in its 30th anniversary this October—and to commemorate the occasion, Nickelodeon's nostalgia block The Splat will be staging a live show at the con on July 22.
Fans will be able to watch the red and blue teams compete in rounds of trivia, as well as in many familiar, classic physical challenges, like Down the Hatch, the Wringer, the Human Hamster Wheel, and the Double Dare Nose.
The best part? Marc Summers, the original host of "Double Dare," Marc Summers, will return to the stage for the first time in 16 years!
Those who can't make the live show can watch the stream on The Splat's Facebook at 12:30 p.m. ET.
Nickelodeon's presence at Comic-Con isn't just limited to the Double Dare revival. In addition to its daily floor booth activities, the network is plotting a 25-year retrospective of Nickelodeon animation panel for Thursday, July 21 (featuring Hey Arnold! creator Craig Bartlett, Invader Zim's Jhonen Vasquez, The Fairly OddParents' Butch Hartman, and Rugrats' Arlene Klasky); a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles panel on July 22; a women in animation panel celebrating pioneering female cartoon creators on July 22; and a Back to the '90s reunion panel featuring the casts of All That and Legends of the Hidden Temple on July 23.
Is this '90s Nickelodeon kid excited? You bet your green slime I am!
The Interactive South Park Experience
Across the convention center, Comedy Central is running its "South Park 20 Experience" for four days—July 21 through July 24.
According to a press release, the exhibition "will allow fans to explore and insert themselves into 20 iconic and fan favorite scenes."
The experience will also include sneak peeks at the upcoming South Park video game from Ubisoft, South Park: The Fractured But Whole, and a GIF booth where fans can GIF themselves with South Park characters.
There also will be a retrospective gallery, a collection of real-world items from The Fractured But Whole, and art curated by artist Ron English on display. Various episodes from South Park's 20-year history will be screened as well.
A note for big fans: If you come dressed up as a South Park character, you get to skip the line.
In addition to the experience, there will also be a panel in Hall H moderated by Nerdist's Chris Hardwick, where panelists will take a look at the new game, field questions from fans and take a look back at how the series has evolved over the past 20 years.
Amazon Studios Exhibitions and 4D Experiences
According to the Comic-Con website, there's some fun in store for fans of the Amazon Prime Original Series' Man in The High Castle and Thunderbirds Are Go.
Con attendees are invited to step into the alternate reality of The Man in the High Castle, where they can walk amongst authentic costumes, props and set pieces from the show. Then, they can go on a mission as one of the main characters in an exclusive 4D virtual reality experience.
A similar experience invites curious fans to check out a first glimpse at Thunderbirds Are Go, an animated kids series, which debuts on Amazon Prime Video later this year. (The series is a reboot that pays tribute to the original 1960s series about sci-fi teen heroes.) This exhibition includes model sets, life sized characters and behind the scenes footage. Take part in International Rescue's mission and help the Tracy Brothers, Kayo, Brains and Lady Penelope keep San Diego safe!
These experiences will be located on Harbor Drive, next to the 1st Ave. Trolley stop and Harbor Club condos, throughout Comic-Con.
Be sure to shoot us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com if your brand is planning anything exciting and award-worthy on the ground at SDCC 2016!

Scholar with book, Eastern Bengal.
Photographer: Unknown
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1860
Three-quarter length portrait against a plain background of the bespectacled figure of a Muslim scholar posed with a book by an unknown photographer and taken in the early 1860s. In the nineteenth century the British Government sought to acquire information about the diverse races, customs, costumes and occupations of the sub-continent. The rising science of ethnology created a demand among European audiences for 'exotic' souvenirs of the East. This print is from a collection which features groups and individuals from across Eastern Bengal (modern Bangladesh and Assam). The photographs were taken in and around the same temporary studio built onto the side of a European house.

This print has some new ink. I added some lighter blue to the top and some darker pink to the bottom. It looked like this before.
As the ink builds up, each layer takes a little longer to dry, so progress is slow. When I have a new photo, I'll show you one.
I have started another small one to work on at home on my little press.
Wait, haven't I shown you my little press? Ooooh - you are going to love seeing this. Next time.

text: "An imposing bass-baritone," as reviewed by Opera News, Joseph Beutel, is often praised for his "deep well-rounded tone," and overall richness of voice and versatility on stage. Making his career across the United States, Europe, and Asia, Beutel enjoys performing traditional operas and originating new roles in operas on the cutting edge both musically and in regards to its content. One such opera in which he most recently performed the father or "sir" role is called Mila, Commissioned and performed by Asia Society Hong Kong, and is the story of a typical Hong Kong family and their domestic helper. Beutel is not only passionate about music-making but also issues of social justice, in this case, the helper community of Hong Kong and the rest of the world who are largely invisible to those societies. He portrayed the roles of the Duke and Judge in Powder Her Face by Thomas Adès at Skylight Music Theatre in Milwaukee, where he "burned up the stage... singing with a gorgeous tone in a huge vocal range and with an actor's command of language." He made his Carnegie Hall debut last spring in Elgar's The Apostles, singing the role of Peter. He also originated the role of the "British Major" in the Pulitzer Prize-winning opera Silent Night by Kevin Puts premiered at Minnesota Opera. Beutel was the 2nd place winner of the Lyndon Woodside Oratorio-Solo Competition in 2017 and winner of a Sullivan Foundation Career Development Award in 2011. He also appears in many concerts across the country and in Europe. Included in this repertoire are Messiah, St. Matthew and St. John Passion (J.S. Bach), and Requiems by Mozart and Brahms, to name a few. Upcoming engagements include Stravinsky's Les Noces and Leonard Bernstein's Dybbuk with New York City Ballet's Robbins 100 Festival, celebrating the centennial of choreographer Jerome Robbins birthday this May.

The 264hp version of the all-new McCormick X8 VT-Drive will be put through its paces on the site at Four Crosses, Llanymynech, Powys by Shropshire and mid- to north Wales dealer HJR Agri.
A big capacity triple mower cutting 9 metres of grass for silage with every pass will highlight the powerful new tractor's performance potential.
The demonstration will also mark HJR Agri's first event as a dealer supplying Pöttinger grassland and tillage equipment to farms across Shropshire and mid-Wales from its base at Oswestry.
The Austrian manufacturer's Novacat 301 ED Alpha-Motion and Novacat A9 ED triple mower-conditioner combination will be used on the X8 VT-Drive and other tractors from the McCormick range will operate a Pöttinger Torro 5510L self-loading forage wagon, TOP 824C two-rotor rake and new HIT 8.9T trailed tedder.
But the star attraction on the demonstration plot is bound to be the McCormick X8 VT-Drive; with engine outputs of 286hp and 310hp also available, it takes the McCormick marque into a new performance class.
"This new range is the culmination of a big investment in new product development at McCormick manufacturer Argo Tractors and is the ultimate expression of the efficient power and performance that the 'McCormick' name represents," says Ray Spinks, managing director at distributor AgriArgo UK & Ireland.
Apart from the performance delivered by a unique combination of ZF heavy-duty stepless transmission and BetaPower by FPT engine, the tractor has great driver appeal from the commanding position of the Premiere cab, which provides all the modern control technology expected of a tractor like this but in an easily accessible form.
A touch screen terminal on the seat-mounted control console gives access to powertrain, hydraulics, pto and other settings to optimise the tractor's performance for different applications, and ISOBUS capability is available to control compliant implements.
Fingertip lever switches provide proportional response from the electric spool valves and Topcon guidance with a choice of displays can be installed for hands-free auto steering to ease the driver's workload and provide the ultimate in precision and productivity.
"Quite apart from its technical features, the styling and sheer size of the X8 VT-Drive gives the tractor great presence," says Ray Spinks. "Enthusiastic tractor drivers will enjoy that – and we've added the bonus of including the eye-catching McCormick metallic red option as standard to give it unique visual appeal within the McCormick range."
After the RWAS Grassland Event, HJR Agri will put the X8 VT-Drive on show at the Coleg Cambria Llysfasi Grassland Open Day at Ruthin, Denbighshire on May 24 and the Shropshire County Show, Shrewsbury on May 26.
It then moves to new McCormick dealer David Eaton Tractors for the Staffordshire County Show on May 30/31. Furthur locations and dates are detailed on the McCormick Agri UK page on Facebook.

Hi Guys! Happy October 🎃
For my Media Comm Class we just finished learning about advertising in media, and to finish the lesson we worked on copy platforms. I created one about SnowJam, a ski & snowboard trip that colleges attend every February. I've attached a modified version of my Advertising Copy Platform here, but please note that it's in PDF form. **Also, please have patience when viewing..it seems to take a while to load the file. Thanks!
The one I submitted in class was a Powerpoint and part of our grade included what was written in the notes section of our slides. So a lot of slides may look like they just have a bunch of pictures, but they're well explained beneath the images. This is just a taste of what I've been doing this semester. Speaking of Media Comm, I actually have to get back to studying now- we have our midterm on Wednesday.

I'm planning to go to Yosemite and camping at one of the outer campgrounds
near Yosemite this August. Will probably drive into the valley to do some
sight seeing during the day. I own a 1991 Toyota Celica GT coupe in good
condition and will be doing some major checkup on it before the trip. I live
in the San Jose area and from my research, it seems to me like the easiest
route would be to go toward Mariposa and enter the Rock Arch Entrance on
Highway 140. I will be carrying a couple of passengers and gear. I'm just a
little worried that my car might not be able to make it to Yosemite if the
road leading up there is too steep. My Celica still got alot of muscle
left, but I don't have any experience going to Yosemite yet. If anyone could
give me any advice or tips (what kindo of elevation and duration I have to
climb, etc), I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks.

Highway 140 through the Arch Rock entrance is the best road into the valley. It's called the all-weather highway and is the route tour busses take. The road was recently widened and improved (after the 1997 flood).
There is a steep hill down on the way in (and up on the way out), but it's a short segment and I never seen cars overheat there.

Lena Dunham is baring a whole lot of skin in this new photo to celebrate National Mutt Day.
The 29-year-old Girls actress stripped off her top and held her dog on her chest for a picture posted on her Instagram account.
"We heard a rumor it's #NationalMuttDay ❤," Lena captioned the image.
Girls is nominated for two Emmy Awards this year, both in acting categories. Adam Driver received a nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series and Gaby Hoffmann was...

And then the child in Rosalie's arms struggling and reaching all this time while her expression got more and more irritated, let out a high, ringing wail....
"See?" Rosalie told him. "She just wants Bella."
"She wants me?" I whispered.
Renesmee's eyes - my eyes - stared impatiently at me.
Edward darted back to my side. He put his hands lightly on my arms and urged me forward.

With little advanced notice, Gov. Rick Scott quietly signed the budget passed by the Republican-controlled legislature during special session and used his line-item veto power to slash $461 million in funding from the original $78.6 billion state budget. Now several notable Republicans are criticizing Scott's thrifty ways, noting that he's "declared war on the legislature," shattering dreams, and putting politics over good governance.
"Dream Shattered"
"While Governor Scott will undoubtedly spend the next several weeks traveling the state touting his record number of vetoes as win for Florida's families, there are many families across Florida who have seen their dreams shattered by his decisions today," said Senate President Andy Gardiner, a Republican from Orlando, according to the Palm Beach Post.
"While I respect the governor's authority to veto various lines within our budget, his clear disregard for the public policy merits of many legislative initiatives underscores that today's veto list is more about politics than sound fiscal policy," Gardiner said. "It is unfortunate that the messaging strategy needed to achieve the governor's political agenda comes at the expense of the most vulnerable people in our state."
Gardiner was key in leading Senate Republicans to champion the expansion of Medicaid and other Obamacare-driven compromises to help insure Florida's poor, ideas that were opposed by Scott and the House.
Scott ended up bringing out the veto pen to cut funding to several projects in Gardiner's home-area including $15 million for a University of Central Florida campus in downtown Orlando and $8 million for an Orlando performing arts center. Gardiner was also angered by Scott's veto of $8 million for an education program for people with disabilities.
Scott "Has Declared War on the Legislature"
13 sessions in the Florida Senate. I've never seen anything like this.— Senator Jack Latvala (@JackLatvala) June 23, 2015
Senator Jack Latvala, a Republican who represents suburban areas near St. Petersburg, also had strong words for Scott, and noted that Scott vetoed funding for projects he had signed off on in the past. Latvala also implied Scott was leaning too hard on the advice of his Chief of Staff Melissa Sellers, who formerly worked for Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal.
"The governor is not being well served by these kids from Louisiana,'' Latvala said according to the Herald/Times political bureau. "I don't recall a governor's office as unresponsive as that one is. They've got him totally isolated. You can't have a meeting without Melissa sitting there. She totally controls the agenda but what are her credentials to do that? She won a campaign."
He claims the governor "has declared war on the Legislature," and even compared him to Charlie Crist.
"Sometimes you have to be in a public service mode,'' Latvala huffed. "Sometimes you have to be in a governing mode. That's what Charlie Crist's problem was. The campaign is over and you have to start governing."

"Profound Disappointment" in Cutting Pay Raises to Forest Firefighters
One of Scott's most controversial vetoes was eliminating pay raises for Forest Service firefighters. The $1.6 million item would have given each firefighter a raise of $2,000 a year. Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam, widely expected to run for governor himself one day, was none too happy.
"I am profoundly disappointed," Florida Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam said according to the Tampa Bay Times. "Our forest firefighters put their lives on the line. They are demonstratively underpaid relative to peers."
Putnam pointed out that just today alone the state is dealing with 90 separate forest fires, and that other government employees who aren't putting their lives on the line are getting raises.
"The helpful people who take your driver's license photo were allowed to receive a pay raise," he added. "And our forest firefighters who put their lives on the line were not."

Aims and Objectives
The Geography Department at St. Aidan's aims to involve all the pupils we teach in learning geography, enjoyably, to the highest standards possible for them.
We do this by providing a well planned and varied KS3 course and by choosing examination courses which will challenge pupils whilst encouraging them to continue their geographical learning to an even higher level.
We aim to deliver high quality teaching, learning and assessment so that pupils will enjoy Geography, appreciate its value and importance and see it within the wider context of their curriculum experience.
We aim to attempt, as far as possible, to differentiate between pupils of different ability levels and to provide the best resources for teaching and learning that time and money will allow.
We aim to recognise the unique potential of each pupil so that they can feel a sense of achievement at the end of each lesson, term and year. We treat pupils with courtesy and value each of them equally.
We provide learning environments which are as pleasant as we can make them and set high standards of behaviour within them. We aim for a friendly and relaxed atmosphere in lessons.
Within lessons we are committed to promoting our pupils' personal and social, as well as intellectual development. In our lessons we teach the importance of good citizenship and stewardship of the environment as well as literacy, numeracy and ICT skills.
We aim to provide learning opportunities out of school, as well as within the building and grounds, with organised fieldwork and homework suggestions.

A 23-month-old child in Texas has died from the new H1N1 swine flu, becoming the first US death from the virus, a US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) official said yesterday.
It is the first death from swine flu reported outside Mexico, the country hardest hit by the outbreak. US officials have confirmed 65 cases of swine flu, most of them mild but with five hospitalizations in California and Texas.
"Unfortunately, this morning I do have to confirm that we have the first death of a child from H1N1 flu virus. And this is in Texas, a 23-month-old child," Dr Richard Besser, acting head of the CDC, told the CBS Early Show.
A US government source said the child had recently traveled to Mexico, but gave no further details.
Besser had predicted that as they searched for cases, CDC experts would find severe infections and deaths in the US, even though most of the patients had mild illnesses.
"As we look, we're going to find more cases. We're going to find more severe cases and I expect that we'll continue to see additional deaths," Besser told NBC's Today show.
He said additional details would be released by Texas authorities.
Mexico had previously reported the only deaths — 159, based on symptoms and initial tests, with seven deaths so far confirmed by additional laboratory analysis at the WHO.
Influenza regularly kills people around the world, with an estimated 250,000 to 500,000 deaths from the seasonal virus every year. Every year at least a few perfectly healthy children die from seasonal influenza in the US.

The em provides fonts and line heights that are in > proportion, and in particular are essential for accessibility reasons. The > em is the BEST unit in CSS, not the worst. I did not say it was bad per se, just that "em" really is something else. What you are aiming for is the Åp unit which I suggested. The Åp (or Ép or Ég, or similar) is not my idea by the way; it's been a more than decade long suggestion from (some) typography quarters. The problem is that "font size" used to refer to a now obsolete size of a piece of lead, and does not have any defined relation to the actual size of glyphs. The Åp height refers to actual size of glyphs. (For the moment ignoring problems that Erik brought up yesterday.) Of course the Åp is useful; I've implied nothing else. So is (true) em. Just don't call an unspecified approximation of Åp an "em". As for em; I find it better to keep both with traditional definition *and* modern and widely spread computer typesetting systems like TeX, where "em" *is* defined as the width of M in the current font. It is nice to have the same definition of things across systems; even for "relative units". (If it has to me named differently ("wem"?) for a few CSS versions for compatibility reasons, then so be it.) As for px; this should simply never be used, possibly with the exception of use with images. TeX systems, e.g., work very nicely without it, including zoomable screen "preview", which is antialisad. As for pt, dd, pi, ci: my intent is of course that they be permanently included, but disrecommended, if that is a better word than "deprecated".

Letters to the Editor
Letter to the editor | Philosophy abandoned
Changes being made in the operation of the Bennett Family Center are disheartening.
The child care employees and the children and families of the center appear to have not been consulted before the announcement of the changes was made.
I ask Penn State President Rodney Erickson, Health and Human Development Dean Ann Crouter other Penn State decision-makers and the community to read and consider the philosophy on the Human Development and Family Studies Children's Programs website (childcare.psu.edu/bfc/philosophy.html), which states:
"The Bennett Family Center program is based on the belief that we are an extension of the family. We are strongly committed to working with children and families. As early childhood educators, we believe it is critical for us to understand the needs and values of parents so that we can best serve their children. Our goal is to provide a supportive and nurturing environment by building a sense of community among parents, children, and staff members."
It seems to me that the staff and the children and families have developed a strong bond of trust and they appear to be fulfilling the stated philosophy.
Do Human Development and Family Studies and other Penn State administrators have a role in fulfilling this philosophy?
Are they doing it?
Judge for yourself.

The Dead Bank Diary by Anna Schlegel
Paperback with summary and Biography http://www.amazon.com/Dead-Bank-Diary-1/dp/1502902338
This is not a robbery. A bank is taken with all its guts: accounts, debts, points of exchange, with the staff to the last secretary, and the building. This is a beautiful and clean fraud.
I was out of work while all around smelled millions, even the air outside. It was an unforgettable smell of public debt, oilfields, gold, bank guarantees, diamond ... I wanted to breathe in the air of easy cash Moscow, to revel and roll in this air. I can feel the smell of money in the wind on my face. This air was used to make up funds overnight, to make a fortune, to go rack and ruin and grew rich again. It was going free across the wreckage of the sold out Soviet empire.
I was asked to help redeem the debts of the bank. The insider man in bank was on a post of the vice-president.
A bit of danger and a bit of love.
This novel is not based on real events, but you will feel the reality in every word.
Book One Of The Dead Bank Diary Series
These are stories about a man who is not alive any more. He was a financier, the retired intelligence officer. I had the good luck to arrange a couple of financial frauds. We bumped into each other before the recession, in the flood of shit, together with the dust.
After his death I still have the right to sign.
Of course, Victor knew I wouldn't be able to work on his contacts. I had tried. Now it's funny to think of it. I am, and always have been, a go-between, a rat. Nobody needs middlemen. They get rid of them, they send them to hell. But I had a white shirt with a necktie, and copies of million-strong contracts for oil, gas, diamond, and rare-earth metals. Light-as-air, fax sheets with lots of zeroes. They made me giddy, they made me drink. And I ran along with them, and easily foisted them for some middlemen – muddy middle-aged misters.
When some of the first deals failed, I went into hysterics. I wanted to throw everything up.
Once I had a dream. In my dream, I heard a telephone call, – Miss Schlegel? We need your signature to extend a contract concluded by Mr… I woke up scared; something turned over inside of me. I realized that I was spending my life waiting for such a call. It didn't matter where it caught me.
But there was no going back. Once you've taken a step forward, you realize you can't turn back anymore.
Why did he leave all this to me? I looked the papers over, recalling past years, deals, people, talks – everything from the first meeting to the last minute. And I couldn't find anything for me. Because it wasn't for me, actually. For the old me. I changed. I became a con.
My life was changed. Sometimes it's convincing and disgusting as a life of a whore. It's also inaccessible as the man who despises you. It's like vomit or sweat from the body like from heavy hangover shivers. You wish to run, and there's no place to run to. It's a cold stupor. So it's stupid to look at the smeared corpse on the road, and it's impossible to regain consciousness to look away. This passion nests in the heart, and you don't know what is it.
I have his photo, the last one, taken at Arkhangelskoe hospital. Summer. We're sitting on the edge of a dried-up fountain. He embraces me with one arm, and I'm lost nearby him. He is gray-haired and corpulent. He has a mocking look. And behind us there are towering white marble angels.

A trusted source of Asia-Pacific commercial aviation news and analysis
Orient Aviation's Week in the Asia-Pacific
By Dominic Lalk
Reporting season is back in the Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. Dubai's Emirates Group posted a 67% year-on-year net profit gain, or US$1.1 billion, for the financial year ended March 31. Its Gulf neighbours, Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways, are struggling to curb losses. Earlier this week, Reuters reported Etihad might cancel some of its 62 ordered A350s and more than 50 additional B787s.
In Asia, Garuda Indonesia posted another loss, for the fiscal quarter to March 31, while Asiana Airlines announced its best quarterly operating profit in more than three years. But unfavorable foreign exchange rates meant the South Korean airline still recorded a small US$5 million loss for the three months to March 31. Jeju Air and VietJet Air also announced net profit gains for the first quarter.
Asia-Pacific carriers continue to modernize their fleets. Asia's largest airline, China Southern Airlines, has taken delivery of its maiden B787-9, Thai Airways International (THAI) received its final A350-900 and Malaysia Airlines accepted a fifth XWB.

Before I decided to begin this blog I did some research. Once I began setting it up I did even more research. And I assure you that it hasn't been easy, especially in a country that is in deep recession. But then again I do believe that great things don't happen by chance. You must work hard to "earn" them. I have learned so much already and yet, it feels like I have only explored the tip of the iceberg. But now that I got my "warm-up time" I'm here to stay. Because I admit it real LOUD: I love blogging about design. It brightens my day!
Every day we are flooded with information, especially images from all social media. Some of these capture our attention for a split of a second, others for much longer. The way we "edit" and process this information usually results in a "trend-making" pattern. Even the images or colors we discard follow a pattern. Some of these patterns reflect ourselves, but others don't simply because they are a result of a "superficial" trend that just "runs" among us and wears off in due time. The interesting part about all this, is the actual interaction and editing process that leads to a better understanding of ourselves. As we grow, our editing process becomes more finely tuned. Some of us to a greater extent than others. Personally, I aspire to feel FREE…and freedom means to BE YOU (or te esse in Latin), even if that means swimming occasionally against the current!
So who's Te Esse? You and you and you and you…and I.
See you around,

Today we have had the first snow of this winter with bitter cold winds too. A good day for staying in the workroom although I did venture out for part of a minute to take this photograph for my 'image of the day' which is 351 today. Not many to go to complete the year.
I have been busy lately with lots of things – not Christmas ones yet. They begin when my grandson finishes school and stays with me. I have sent out the cards which needed to be posted.
I have been spending time on my photography and digital imaging and laying out a book. How time flies when doing these.
There has been time too to create some textile pieces. They have been a mixture of art quilts, panels, books and folders.
I don't have time to show them all or go into the detail of how I created them but I am sure many of you will be able to see which techniques I have used. There is very little new out there just variations.
This is a letter or note folder. I have used white acrylic velvet and dyed it then layered it up with fibres, chips and black Misty Fuse. I free machined the scrolls over the top.
I have been experimenting a lot with making paper but not with pulp. This piece of paper is painted ready to embellish.
As I have already mentioned, I have been doing a lot of photography and one of the topics I am working on is 'Time Pieces'. My OH gave me a lovely carriage clock many years back for a wedding anniversary present and I took some photographs of it. I used one of the images, applied a special effect in Photoshop, enlarged it, printed it onto coated silk then free machine quilted it. I applied some gold paint on the numbers and pointers. I also free machined a message around one side of the clock face. Now here is a confession. The reason for the text is because when I printed the image onto the silk, I did or didn't do something and it printed to one side. I couldn't bear the thought of reprinting or cutting it down and wasting all that ink and silk so I created the text -"Put time aside to fulfil your creative passion". Neat Eh????
This little quilted panel was an attempt to use the basic technique and colour scheme of Lynda Monk and adapt it . I didn't quite get the colour scheme right and set myself the challenge of double machining the machine patterns so that they were exactly over each other. It worked but I like Lynda's colours better.
Now the colours on this little book were what I was trying to achieve. I must be bolder when it comes to 'washing' over the top with another colour. The cover was another paper experiment.
Bad news at the moment – my embroidery machine has had to go back to be repaired AGAIN. So I had to pack it all up again to be collected by the courier.
The last time I did this I took a photograph of the box and applied a special effect to it. Didn't expect to be using this image again so soon. Why do we feel such a personal loss when our machines have to go away?? I do have another one so I can still do all my sewing but……..
And speaking of photography again. I did a study using a sheet of polorising filter and here is one of the images.
and another one-
I think I finished up with 90 images from this session.
I haven't time for more. Must get something to eat which reminds me – My 10 year old grandson said to me a couple of weeks ago when it was time for bed -'if we didn't have to go to bed and didn't have to eat or go to the toilet, we would have much more time to do what we want.' Hmmmmm now there's a thought.
Cheers everyone

The conference provided a compressed picture of some of the intellectual
activity going on in video game studies today. In a short summary, it was clear
that early attempts to define the discipline or ague against a sort of "academic
colonization" were hopeless. The ideas flowing into the area of video game
studies from all quarters hold great promise to energize the notion of studying
something as banal as video games. The literary critics were not going to leave
our beloved game world, I discovered. Then again, neither were the musicians,
lawyers, cultural studies folk, computer science departments or anyone else.
The fact I gathered over and over again at the conference, and one I think
that has been missed in the past, is that the variety of people studying
games'even those who don't happen to call themselves "ludologists"'still share a
common passion and pioneering spirit that all gamers have. Yes, even those
literary critics care about games. —David Thomas

G.I. Joe star Channing Tatum told us at Monday's premiere of his new movie Fighting that his next film will be the Roman Empire drama The Eagle of the Ninth, directed by Last King of Scotland and State of Play helmer Kevin Macdonald.
Tatum was previously in negotiations to star in the Focus Features film, but he hadn't yet committed to the part. And he's also attached to The Stanford Prison Experiment, written and directed by Valkyrie and The Usual Suspects scribe Christopher McQuarrie.
But Tatum tells us that Eagle of the Ninth will likely be his next project, "unless something crazy happens."
"You never know until you're on set, and you're shooting it," he added. "But I think that's going to be the next one."

One of the best unanticipated positive experiences of my cancer journey has been meeting Maria and her wonderful family. They have made me feel like a member of their family. I guess we are all connected by this terrible disease. The really great news is that Maria has chosen to fight back against this disease through her organization named Purple Pansies. Purple Pansies has raised money that has funded clinical trials at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) that have saved my life. Rarely can you support an organization like Purple Pansies where you know that they are actually empowering the doctors at TGen to save the lives. Thank God for Maria and her friends at Purple Pansies!

As the girl to choose the right car?
As the girl to choose the right car?
The girl behind the wheel of a car is already not extraordinary, but rather ordinary case, and stereotypes about women drivers have become irrelevant and obsolete.
The emancipation of women is developing rapidly, so the number of girls able to make money on the purchase of a car is increasing day by day. Accordingly, the challenge is the right choice for the right car.
Of course, first of all, the girls determine the priority of comfort and beauty, and then rely on consultants. Not to be mistaken, you must have a certain amount of knowledge about cars, which will help to make the right choice when buying.

There are tons of different health claims being made about Kombucha tea but I'm not sure which ones are actually true. I would reckon the benefits differ from person to person.
Back in 2005, my buddy Jon G. gave me my first Kombucha mother and for several years, I was constantly brewing my own Kombucha at home. Between 2006 and 2007, I was often consuming around 2 to 4 ounces of Kombucha per day and I liked the way it made me feel. After a while I became known as "the Kombucha guy" around Queen Anne Hill. Whenever customers would come into Teacup and ask about it, they would be turned over to me. During those years, I happily shared free "Kombucha babies" with at least 20 different friends and clients.
My favorite time to drink Kombucha is after a day of hard work because I feel like it relaxes and soothes my sore muscles. I only ever drink a small cup (no more than 4 ounces per day).
In late 2007, for no particular reason, I decided to take a break from Kombucha home brewing. So, besides a few bottles of really-expensive-commercial-stuff, I have barely had any Kombucha tea during these last three years.
Last week, my sister-in-law Kristel and I were talking about home brewing Kombucha and where to find a new Kombucha mother. Twenty minutes later a Facebook friend offered two Kombucha mothers for free. I took this as a sign from the universe that I should start brewing again, so Kristel and I picked up our new"Kombucha babies" that same afternoon. (Thanks again Laura!)
So now I am officially back in the Kombucha making game!
Pasted below is the recipe I usually use. I adapted it from the most excellent book "Wild Fermentation" by Sandor Ellix Katz.
Kombucha Recipe:
A stove
A stock pot with lid
A strainer
A heat resistant ceramic or glass bowl that can hold about a gallon of liquid (Do not use a metal or plastic bowl.)
A clean towel that is large enough to cover your bowl
3 quarts of fresh spring water
3/4 cup of Organic Sugar
3 tablespoons of good quality loose leaf black tea
1 Kombucha mother (KM)
1.5 cups of mature liquid kombucha (MLK) (This is the broth that your new KM is floating in.)
- Mix water and sugar in a stock pot and bring to a rolling boil.
- Turn off the heat, add the tea, mix really well and then put the lid on the stock pot.
- Steep for 15 minutes.
- Pour the liquid though the strainer into the bowl. Because the liquid is still really hot, pour slowly--you really don't want the temperature change to crack your bowl!!! Also, If you are wearing glasses they will probably get "fogged-up" and you wont be able to see what you're doing. I recommend taking them off before you start pouring. (You may want to have a friend help you with this step.)
- Wait for several hours until the broth is room temperature. You will kill your KM if it is still too hot!
- Add the MLK to the bowl of sweetened tea.
- Wash your hands really well and then reach in and grab the slimy KM. Gently drop it into the bowl.
- Cover the bowl with the clean towel. I like to use a rubber band around the rim to hold the towel in place.
- Allow tea to ferment at room temperature for 2 to 4 weeks. You can check the flavor from time to time using a clean sterile spoon or ladle. If the temperature in your house is warmer your batch of Kombucha will ferment faster, and if it's cooler it will ferment slower. The longer it sits the more acidic it will become.
- When the Kombucha is at the acidity you like, you can ladle it out into glass jars with tight lids and keep it in the fridge for about a month. Now it's time to start a new batch!
The new KM will form on the surface of the liquid Kombucha while the tea is fermenting. The longer the tea ferments the thicker it will become. It will take the shape of the opening of your bowl. The old KM will either sink to the bottom or it will "grow into" the new KM (on the surface). If it sinks then you now have two mothers. In this case you can do one of these 3 things: start multiple batches at the same time, give one mother away to a friend or just toss one in the trash or compost. Also, you can keep a KM in the fridge (floating in MLK) for several months between batches.
