Welcome to our 6th article in the GibLad #LlanitosAbroad series and thanks again for reading. We thought we'd mix it up a bit for the sake of diversity and this week spoke to a younger Llanito, Johan Vinent about his travels for the past 7 months of back packing through South East Asia, alone.
Though many people have had trips to Thaliand and the surrounding area, it's usually done in groups or for trips to a Muy Thai camp or for diving courses. Johan did it solo and we felt there was quite a spiritual element to his travels; from never having left Europe or gone too far from home, to taking the plunge to venture further a field not knowing what to expect. If this doesn't encourage you to pack your bags and get going, I don't know what will.
If it's like in my situation where you're travelling alone, you really get to challenge yourself in many aspects of life, book your flight y a por toda
GL: Why did you leave Gib?
Well that's a hard question to answer, I had been researching into travelling abroad as in backpacking for quite a while but did not know where to go. I was kind of tired of wasting my money in places like Ibiza, Paris, Madrid etc so after months of research I decided to come to South East Asia, seeing it is cheap here in comparison to the money I had saved up. At first everyone thought i was crazy leaving Gibraltar on my own for 3 months (which has turned to nearly 7) as I had never actually left Europe on holiday excluding Africa, I said why not and took the plunge to venture to the other side of the world.
GL: What do you miss?
Obviously more than anything my family and friends, but also Gibraltar in general; just little things like my mums cooking of course, el levante, los suntop, good kebabs, ramsons etc just the little things we take for granted when at home but come to mind once your away.
Also the tight community at home when you just leave your house or walk down the street and recognise fellow Gibraltarians and saying 'hi' to them on a daily basis. When you are out on the road travelling everyone you see is a new face for you, you will have certain people you will meet again just out of pure luck, I have had Gibraltar shouted at me various times on the street and in bars by people who I have met and have managed to inspire them by explaining them about Gibraltar, I think they will always remember the tiny little rock south of Spain because of me 🙂
GL: Where have you been since you left?
I started in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, as most backpackers doing South East Asia do, since they have the biggest airport and cheapest one to fly into. My original plan was to skip the south islands and go directly north but my plan quickly changed when I made some friends and all decided to go south. After some island hoping and the famous full moon party in Koh Phangan (which in fact we live in a small world as I met a girl from Gibraltar at the party) I reached the beautiful island of Koh Phi Phi where Leonardo di Caprio filmed the movie The Beach. I totally fell in love and as soon as I knew it I was working for a boat party company selling tickets. I nearly overstayed my visa so I had to return to mainland to extend it, after that I travelled north to Chiang Mai, Pai and Chiang Rai. Was having a blast of a time until the king passed away and the mourning begun in Thailand, an alcohol ban was introduced and no music was played for weeks, I have never seen people respect someone as the Thai people did with there king. Sadly I decided to hope on a 2 day slow boat to the neighbouring country Laos.
After spending two long days on a very slow boat down the river with a load of backpackers chugging down cheap whiskey and rum from Thailand only stopping to sleep in a little village named Pak Beng. After that journey we arrived in Luang Prabang, my first thoughts of Laos was that it was very outdated compared to the likes of Thailand, by outdated I mean no tarmac roads no traffic lights no English signs etc.
At the beginning it was a bit scary but then everything fell into place and I was in the capital Vientienne faster than I thought. Laos is very beautiful in the aspect of nature with rivers and waterfalls everywhere (Kuang Si waterfall the prettiest I have ever seen) but if you're not in one of the big cities, of which there are only two or three, everything seems to be the same.
OK they aren't but I mean there are thousands of valleys filled with rice fields right? Once you have seen a couple they all start to look the same, that's what I'm trying to say. After the big capital I headed north where I stopped in a village named Phonsavan which is famous for the plain of jars, this is basically big sandstone jars laying all around the countryside with unclear origins. Some of the monks from the area believe the jars where like tombstones 😕 I also got invited to a local's wedding here and I went dressed with elephant pants and a t-shirt, I was the laughing stock for the night but I enjoyed it 🙂 From here I jumped on a sleeper bus I that crossed the border into Vietnam and dropped me off in the second biggest city Hanoi.
"Now this is what I was expecting Asia to be like, my first couple of hours in Hanoi were actually breath taking!"
Hard to say after two months in Asia but this was something out of the movies. Millions of motorbikes zooming everywhere you couldn't even cross the road in safety. Chickens in cages trying to escape, rats roaming the side walk with not a care in the world, puppies for sale as meat in the market!! Guys trying to fix your sandels with glue and a cloth, markets with full aquariums of fresh fish for sale. Seriously Hanoi had it ALL! Even dominoes pizza and KFC, this place was a mixture of 1900s living and present day living; it was just a mix of everything. I don't know if it was the month I spent in chilled out Laos that brought me this shock or actual Vietnam was the bomb!
Anyway after settling down in Hanoi I decided to buy a Honda win 110cc motorbike (which I named Matilda) to drive the whole of Vietnam with. I attached all my luggage on the back of the bike and headed north to Halong Bay where the recent movie Kong has been filmed at. After that I drove down south beside the Laos border up in the mountains with beautiful green scenery all way stopping in various small towns to sleep. Some of the towns were really outdated no one spoke any English at all, all you could get served for food was rice and chicken bones! I got asked to marry a 15 year old girl from one of the restaurants, all done by google translate haha. After the wet mountain ride down the Ho Chi Ming highway I headed east towards the coast stopping in Hue, Hoi An etc. My bike (Matilda) kept breaking down with little different problems every couple of hundred kilometres but there were repair shops everywhere, I guess that's all part of the road trip.
I then headed to the mountains again into Dalat and finished in the capital Ho Chi Ming City. Luckily I had no accidents on the way but some of the driving was the scariest I have ever done! Vietnamese people drive like lunatics, no lights on the street, cars bikes come out of nowhere, children & people run out in the middle of road and so on….. Getting into the capital was also quite a mission as the traffic was worse than Hanoi, there are 7.4 million motorbikes in the capital, just imagine driving on a street with 10 bikes parallel to you simply insane. It took me exactly 1 month with some of the stops consisting of a couple of days, 2,500 kilometres done and dusted so it was time to sell Matilda to another backpacker and jump on a bus to Phnom Penh capital of Cambodia.
After a long bus ride from Hanoi I crossed the border into Cambodia, my first impressions where that it seemed to look very modern because just at the border crossing there were more than 10 casinos. Gambling is illegal in most of Asia and in Cambodia it isn't so they build casinos by the border crossing so that people can cross the border to gamble and head back. My first destination was Phnom Penh the capital, everything was very dirty. By dirty I mean heaps of trash everywhere, I hadn't encountered such a disgusting place yet in all my travels. I visited the famous S21 prison where the Khmer Rouge regime took prisoners to be tortured, the Khmer Rouge regime were in power in Cambodia for 4 years from 1975-1979 charged by the leader Pol Pot. He had a delusional mind & wanted a pure country as he only wanted hard workers, he killed nearly half of the population of smart people from doctors to lawyers etc. They would torture the local people to get information on their own country. I also visited the killing fields where more or less 3-4 million people were brought to be killed, it was quite a sad day to learn all of this happened just 40 odd years ago!
After that I travelled to Siem Riep where Angkor Wat is located, this is the largest religious monument in the world. It was amazing to see the sun rise from behind the temple, the only down side is, the same as me there where a million people wanting to see the sunrise so it was annoying to be able to take any descent photos without humans in it. I then headed south to Sihanoukville, Otres beach and Koh Rong island where I enjoyed warm clear waters and white sand beaches. I got to spend Christmas on a bungalow built in the sand by the water in a remote part of Koh Rong island. I then spent new years eve in Kampot in the most amazing hostels I have stayed at named Arcadia Backpackers, the hostel was situated just by the river and had a little waterpark for the hostel guests. I then returned back to the capital to obtain my business visa for Thailand as I decided to work again to Koh Phi Phi.
Once again reached Bangkok by bus where I stayed for about 1 week, waiting for my working permit to get done. As soon as it was ready I made my way down south to Koh Phi Phi island, when I arrived I was warmly welcomed by work colleagues and prior friends. I partied for a few days before I started to work, my first ticket sales office was located by the beach so you can just imagine how it was. Unfortunately after only one month working I
noticed I was spending more money than I was earning so I decided to leave paradise and continue my travels with the funds I had left.
My initial thought of working for 3 months turned out to be only 1 but I had the time of my life with the Phi Phi family. 🙂 It was a sad moment boarding the ferry back to the mainland but I think I made a good decision in general. The boat dropped me of in Koh Lanta, a beach paradise but not many backpackers around as the island tends to attract couples and older men and woman.
Here is where I had my first ever muay thai training. After my stay there I went to another lonely island called Koh Jum before arriving in Krabi town where I stayed a couple of days before heading to Ton Sai beach which is located beside the famous Railey beach. This area is only accessible by boat as there are no actual roads. Many professional rock climbers come here as it is the best site in Thailand to practice climbing and up sailing. I stayed a couple of nights in a bungalow in the jungle for only 3 pounds
a night but it had no electricity and only a hose with cold water. After a couple of nights stay a longtail boat drove me for an hour to get to Krabi town again where i got a plane to northern Chiang Mai. My second visit to Chiang Mai but this time I had more time as my visa was a business one which allows you 3 months stay. I checked out a couple of muay thai gym and joined Lanna muay thai gym for a weeks training. The sessions were very intense from 630-930am and then 430-730pm.
When my training was over I drove in a minibus to Pai which is located very north beside the Myanmar border, I had previously been on low season and I liked it way more as there was much more of a hippie vibe compared to this time, it was just full of farang (foreigner in Thai). Stayed a couple of days in really cold weather before I decided to hitch hike down to Chiang Mai, in all my travels I had never done it but after speaking to many backpackers who do it constantly I said why not. Like the locals say "never try never know". I was literally just 5 minutes with my thumb out before a local family stopped with a pick up truck and told me to jump in the back. They didn't speak much English so it was an advantage I had a sign written in Thai to explain where I wanted to go. Honestly wish I would have tried
it before because it was really easy and fun. I then got onto a bus in Chiang Mai which drove me for 11 hours down south to Bangkok. Now I'm here in Bangkok just making time for my flight home.
GL: What has been hardest to adjust to?
Sleep!! You may be thinking how strange, but after leaving my comfortable bed at home and having to sleep in dorm rooms with from 4-24 people in the same room. I've stayed in more than 60 different hostels and believe me some people are absolutely amazing when it comes to sleeping in the same room. I've seen and heard so much stuff, some of which I won't mention because it's unbelievable. After nearly 7 months in dorms its still difficult to sleep, every dorm room brings a different challenge from freezing air con to people snoring and a hundred other things.
GL: What are the most notable cultural differences?
Well the cultural difference can be easily seen all over Asia, you can be in what looks to be a third world country at its worst and then just 1-2 kilometres away you are in a state of the art complex like a shopping centre. It just depends where you are but when you venture into the jungle or mountains, this is where the big differences are seen. Just by the local living quarters and how they have nothing and are happier than us when we have everything!
GL: What is the best thing about being a GibLad/Llanito abroad?
The best thing for me being a Llanito abroad, is for example chatting with a group of travellers and the obvious question of "where are you from" pops up. Some will answer Germany, France, America etc and others will reply ah yeah what part or stuff like that. But when the question reaches me and I say Gibraltar, only few people know where it is others just look around in despair or ask me 'where the hell is that'! And then I have to answer a British overseas territory in the south of Spain, then they tend to say an island and then I have to explain its a peninsular and so on. This for me is the best thing as it encourages you to have conversations with other travellers.
GL: What has been your proudest achievement since your move?
The proudest moment for me was getting on the plane in Malaga by myself. I didn't really realise what I was doing until I had to endure a 13-14 hour flight by myself, then I realised what I had got myself into. It was awkward landing in Bangkok alone and having to decide where to go, but as soon as I checked into my first ever hostel and made friends the travelling fright was over.
GL: What are you goals for the year?
After this trip I have noticed how fortunate we are in the western part of the world, so I will try and help the less fortunate or others in need, I would also like to save up again and travel south america as soon as possible.
GL: Do you see yourself staying there, or eventually coming back?
Actually I am currently writing this on my last couple of days as a backpacker, I booked my flight home last week and will be home on mothers day to hopefully surprise my mother and family.
GL: What would you say to any GibLads/Llanitos who are thinking of making a move abroad to travel or chase a dream or experience something new?
I don't really know about moving abroad but if you're thinking of travelling or chasing your dream, go for it and don't look back. Seriously, I think everyone who wants to do it should have the chance like I have to do so, maybe not as long but at least try it you never know. You may fall in love just like I have! If it's like in my situation where you're travelling alone, you really get to challenge yourself in many aspects of life, book your flight y a por toda 🙂

In a series of posts, we started discussing the basic qualifications that a person must satisfy in order to be appointed to serve as personal representative of an estate here in Florida. We also discussed the process whereby the circuit court will appoint someone to serve in this crucial role if a person dies intestate, meaning without a will.
Understanding who can serve as a personal representative - II
Last time, we began discussing the basic requirements that a person named as the personal representative of an estate must be able to satisfy in order to serve in this vital role, and how those people found by a circuit court judge to meet these basic requirements are vested with the necessary authority via "Letters of Administration."
Understanding who can serve as a personal representative
When a loved one passes, there are seemingly innumerable questions that must be answered once the funeral arrangements are complete and sufficient time for mourning has passed. Indeed, chief among these inquiries is who has been appointed to serve as the executor of the estate or, as Florida law calls it, the personal representative.
Deciphering the intricacies of Florida's probate process
Once the shock and grief over the passing of a loved one begin to subside, questions naturally start to arise among family members as to what is going to happen concerning the deceased's assets and debts.

5 Reasons Why 30A Luxury Homes Make the Best Investment
If you are one of the many people dreaming of owning a gulf front home as an investment property but are confused with all the choices on the market, you could start by looking at 30A luxury homes for sale with gulf views. If you are looking for low-maintenance properties, you may want to consider a gulf front condo.
Many buyers are anxious, or hesitant, about buying Gulf front properties because of the high cost associated with maintenance. However, there are fabulous 30A luxury homes, with gulf views, or even gulf front condos, where the maintenance is less costly. In fact if you purchase a gulf front condo (or any condo for that matter) the Condo Association is responsible for the maintenance!
Here are 5 reasons why you should buy a 30A luxury home for sale:
1. A beach home is more than just the structure.
Buying a home along 30A is more than just buying gulf front property…It's a lifestyle. If you prefer to walk and bicycle everywhere (park your car when you arrive and don't think about driving until you leave), then check out these Scenic 30A communities: Seacrest Beach Homes for Sale, Rosemary Beach homes for sale or Alys Beach Homes for sale.
Maybe you want to be a bit more 'remote'? And 'remote' along Scenic 30A is a 5–10 minute drive to get to your destination! If so, then one of these communities might be of interest: Seagrove Beach, Grayton Beach or Blue Mountain Beach.
Properties with beach access are just as popular whether or not they are directly gulf front.
2. A struggling economy makes beach homes more affordable.
A struggling economy, in general, lowers the demand for luxury homes and beachfront property. This means that it is a great time for investors to buy gulf front property and luxury homes along 30A at a reduced price. Waterfront properties are priced lower than they were just a few years ago and will be the first to recover now that the economy is starting to improve.
3. Beach homes make great rental properties.
You can rent out your 30A luxury home on a weekly, monthly, or seasonal basis, to help offset costs. Scenic 30A is a special place where people can take a vacation any time of the year. Let your luxury home earn for you all year long by having the guests pay for it!
4. Take a beach vacation any time.
Because you already own a home along 30A, you can save thousands of dollars when you take a vacation by simply visiting your luxury home. Having your own rental property can make vacations easier to plan and more affordable. You get to take a vacation, in one of the world's most beautiful destinations, without having to worry about lodging expenses in a faraway place.
5. Live in your very own home along 30A.
If you choose to, you can make your 30A luxury home your primary residence. In Florida, when you live in a property full-time, you can save money on property taxes by claiming a homestead exemption. Living in your own beach home along 30A allows you to enjoy the pleasures and laid back lifestyle of living in the area!
When choosing an investment property, make sure you are making the right decision by consulting an agent who knows the area well and has a lot of experience with 30A luxury homes. You can visit www.30ALuxuryHomes.com to get more information about buying homes along 30A.

Biographical entry Robin, Gordon de Quetteville (1921 - 2004)
- Born
- 17 January 1921
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
- Died
- 21 September 2004
Cambridge, England
- Occupation
- Physicist, Antarctic researcher and Glaciologist
Gordon de Quetteville Robin was a renowned glaciologist and the longest serving director of the Scott Polar Research Institute at the University of Cambridge to date (1958-1982). He was the first person to produce reliable and accurate measurements of Antarctic ice sheet thickness using seismic sounding and in 1963, together with Stan Evans, developed a radio-echo sounding system, which allowed continuous profiling of ice sheets and glaciers. This technology is still the best available for measuring ice thickness and other glaciological investigations. Robin made numerous other highly significant contributions to glaciology including a better interpretation of climate records within ice sheets and the dynamics of ice shelves and ice formation and structure.
Immediately after completing his Master's Degree in physics in 1942, Gordon de Quetteville Robin joined the Royal Australian Naval Voluntary reserve and was appointed to antisubmarine duties. He soon lost interest in the work and moved to England. During World War II, Robin took up anti-submarine duties again and was sent to the Jahore Straits and Singapore. Back in England after the war, he enrolled in nuclear physics studies at Birmingham University and worked on the cyclotron project. However, Robin had always had a desire to go to Antarctica, so contacted the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI) at Cambridge University. He accepted an almost immediate posting to join the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey as their base commander at Signy Island in the South Orkneys (1947-1948).
When the twelve month position ended, Robin returned to the cyclotron project at Birmingham University, where he also gained a lectureship in 1948. The following year he joined the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition and was put in charge of the seismic survey to measure ice thickness. The expedition finished in 1952 and he returned to Birmingham University. There he undertook postdoctoral studies in glaciology, which provided new discoveries relating to ice shelf thickness and subglacial topography. In 1957 Robin decided to change his research focus again, and went to the Australian National University to study ocean waves. Within a few months of arriving, he was offered the first full-time directorship of the SPRI. He returned to England in 1958 to take up the position and this was the start of an outstanding twenty-four years of ground-breaking research.
As director, Gordon de Quetteville Robin oversaw the growth of the SPRI into one of the world's leading polar research institutes. He fought hard for and achieved greater cooperation and collaboration between all nations involved in polar research and between the research wings of the Navy's of the world and the broader research community. He also established a twelve-year collaboration with the US National Science Foundation which resulted in the mapping of around 50% of the continent.
Robin's own contributions to polar research were just as remarkable. These include at least five field expeditions to the Antarctic and arctic regions; co-production of the radio-echo sounding system which resulted in the first reliable measurement of ice thickness, the discovery of Lake Vostock under the Antarctic Ice Sheet; the identification and definition of ice streams flowing into the Ross Ice Shelf, large scale ice dynamics, and many other significant finds; the principal of using satellites to observe Earth from space; and the discovery of some of the mechanisms behind ice core temperature records. Even after official retirement, Robin continued to work at SPRI for many years as a senior research associate.
Robin held many other key positions, including Permanent UK Delegate to the world's coordinating body of Antarctic research, the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research from 1958 to 1984; director of the British Antarctic Survey in 1993-1994; and a founding Fellow of Darwin College, Cambridge (1964). He received the top prize in glaciology - the Seligman Crystal, as well as numerous other honours and awards from all over the world for his outstanding contribution to glaciology and geophysics.

This addon is an in-game representation of Kaliban's Class Loot Lists. Kaliban's Class Loot List provides ratings for all raid loot with respect to it's suitability for different class/spec combinations. Vanilla WoW raid gear is rated for each class between 0 to 5 stars, however this addon disregards any rating below 3 stars to reduce the data-set. Outlands and Northrend raid gear is split into Primary, Secondary and Tertiary priority which is displayed in-game using 5 stars, 4 stars and 3 stars respectively. This addon purely displays the ratings given by Kaliban, therefore if you consider a rating to be unjust or incorrect on his website please take it up with him, not me!
Class Loot information can be accessed in two ways, either via item tooltips or through the slash commands.
Item tooltips contain the class loot rating along with the instances the item drops in, and finally the bosses that the item drops from.
- You can check the loot of any raid item by using the following slash commands:
- /cl check <item link> - Personal item check (only visible to you)
- /cl gcheck <item link> - Item check broadcast to Guild Chat
- /cl rcheck <item link> - Item check broadcast to Raid Chat
Configuration of this addon may be performed through the Options -> Interface -> AddOns -> ClassLoot window.
Note: If you you don't think a rating shown is correct, check Kaliban's site to see if it's wrong there FIRST. If it's wrong on Kaliban's site, let him know not me.
Seeing as the curse.com devs appear to be incapable of blocking spam comments being posted (and therefore resulting in me getting spam emails every time), i've disabled curse.com comments. If you wish to leave a comment about ClassLoot, please do so on the ClassLoot WowAce Project Page. Furthermore, if you wish to report bugs (including inconsistancies between Kaliban's site and this addon, please do so on the ClassLoot Ticket Tracker

Woman Marcher Channels Autobiography of a Freedom Rider
Woman Marcher Channels Autobiography of a Freedom Rider
Anne Hartley, a member of our Facebook family, sent this photo the morning she and her 15-year-old daughter (not pictured), joined hundreds of thousands of people for a Women's March on Washington, Jan. 21, 2017. In the nation's capitol, and in cities around the country, marchers challenged President Donald Trump on his first full day in office to a broad range of reforms, addressing gender inequity, as well as racial and economic inequality.
We sent back words of solidarity to Hartley, a professor at Florida Gulf Coast University. "You and yours stood and marched not just for women and your commitment to peace and justice, but for America."
She responded: "Because of your personal sacrifice for our civil rights, America is a better nation. I'm committed to ensuring that the progress you and the other Freedom Riders achieved is not lost."
She then rallied all her Facebook friends to get to know the Freedom Riders.
"Watch the video," she implored. "Read Mr. Armstrong's book, Autobiography of a Freedom Rider. He is one of my role models, along with Diane Nash and Congressman John Lewis, and many others."
The Women's March on Washington released a platform, acknowledging #WHY WE MARCH, saying they welcome collaboration and honor the legacy of the movements before them – "the suffragists and abolitionists, the Civil Rights Movement, the feminist movement, the American Indian Movement, Occupy Wall Street, Marriage Equality, Black Lives Matter, and more…"

Dear Nick,
I can understand your point...you are absolutely right but i need just to know how to do it and then to prove that it's wrong (It was applied by a colleague with Matlab).to compare with a normal distribution we write: Ksmirnov x = norm(x-r(mean)/r(sd))
With student distribution 8 degrees, instead of norm (),we can put ttail(8, x) ?
However, I appreciate your help and sorry to bother you...

One minute it was a beautiful sunny day, the next, dark, foggy and a strange lonely feeling to it.
As with this AHV in front of us, we find it very hard to see it at the moment, but with radar and good communications we know exactly where it is and what its up too.
Life can be like that too, one minute it's all bright and cheery and the next minute you are plunged into total darkness and will find it very hard to see your way out. But in time the fog will lift, the sun will come out again, and things will start looking brighter again.
RIP Bob.

New reports suggest that Facebook has been logging Android users' call and SMS (text) history without their permission. The company says that's not exactly the case, but text history logging is something the user can choose as an opt-in feature.
According to an Ars Technica report, a New Zealander was poring through an archive of his personal data that he had downloaded from Facebook. What he found was not only the typical photos, posts, and contacts, but nearly two years worth of data including names, phone numbers, and the length of each call he made from his Android phone.
After last week's PR bloodbath, Facebook was quick to step up and clear its name the best it could.
"People have to expressly agree to use this feature," the company said in their response to the story. "If, at any time, they no longer wish to use this feature they can turn it off in settings, or here for Facebook Lite users, and all previously shared call and text history shared via that app is deleted. While we receive certain permissions from Android, uploading this information has always been opt-in only."
Contact importing is commonplace in social apps. FourSquare, Cloze, Brewster, and others all use some form of contact collection. Not wanting to be left out on a good idea, Facebook also introduced a version in their Messenger app in 2015, then followed up with a "lightweight version" of it in its Facebook for Android app.
How it works
Many people gloss over things like fine print, opt-ins, and opt-outs, and this latest development seems to fall under that category. The way Facebook has this option set up is that when a user signs up for or logs into Messenger or Facebook Lite on an Android device, they're given the option to have a running upload of contacts as well as call and text history.
In the Messenger app, users can either turn it on or off, or click on the "learn more" or "not now" options. On the Facebook Lite app, the choices are to turn it on or select "skip." For users who decide to turn the feature on, Facebook logs that info as it happens.
Curious Facebook users who do their social networking on an Android device can see what information has been gathered by using Facebook's "Download Your Information" tool.
How you can change the info Facebook collects
If a user no longer wants their calls and texts tracked, all they have to do is turn the feature off in their settings. For added security, users can also go here to see which contacts they have uploaded from Messenger and delete any uploaded contact information they want to.
Given all that's erupted out of Facebook's data collection dust-up, it's smart for users to double-check what information they've given Facebook and others access to.. The company offers a laundry list of ways to update a user's settings and enhance the security of their data. In a few simple steps, users can decide what apps and games they want to grant permission to collect personal data.

What's it like to deal with daily rain? Well, it affects lots of things. One is the walking paths around the house. After a while the grass dies along the paths, then mud forms. Then after that, moss grows on the mud. Life becomes a dangerous situation of slip sliding away. After taking several half slips and a few full falls, I've decided it's time to make serious changes. Consulting with David (my part time muscle), the decision was reached to make concrete paths with surface rocks to give the best traction.......besides looking better than just plain concrete.
Three scoops of sand and three bags of cement later, we're making progress.
Oh, I failed to mention that we needed to first mark out the paths, cut strips and pegs to create the forms. While David started things, I spray painted the general outline the paths would follow and weedwacked the grass short. Then I was off to gather bucket after bucket full of rocks.
The paths will connect to the small concrete pads that already exist at the base of entryway steps. And they will go around the house and head in the direction of frequently visited areas.....meaning the driveway and the shed housing the solar equipment and generator. We still have quite a bit to do, but it's a start. I'll post photos of the finished product in a week or two.

the most helpful resource for self-development
*The story of what lead me to me. When I discovered the clarity and acknowledgement of forces beyond my nature, that life is life. Outside of my own head, there are matters beyond my control. Matters that I have finally accepted with non-judgemental awareness and gratitude. Matters that go beyond the feelings I feel in this moment. It's looking at the sky and realizing that there are planets and stars millions of times larger than us. We are simply a speck on a cog in a teeny section of a much bigger machine. It's the realization that the petty problems we overthink truly don't matter.
Positivity has always been second nature to me. I'd be the person to challenge all your negative jargon with a brighter side. "My wallet got stolen" "Well, you'll probably save some money because you can't use anything now". "I lost my phone" "Well, now you'll be forced to live in the moment". "I'm sick" "Well, at least you can relax at home". It's always about perspective. The things that we go through can mature us and give us more understanding. You are who you are because of what you've been through. You can gain empathy, compassion, mindfulness and gratitude because of your traumas.
Flash forward a few years, solidifying this mentality of altruism, empathy and thirst for knowledge, I always felt like there was so much more to it. So much more to life than overthinking about the same bullshit or just being a pawn in the game of life. There was more that I was destined for. So, I carried on with life.. until one day, I came across Leo.
If you're tired of sitting around with yourself, overthinking about everything you've ever said to your friends and family, tired of stressing out about work, school and money, tired of growing more addicted to your phone and computer because it helps you escape your own thoughts, tired of living in fear of rejection and tired of living with discontentment about your life. Take a moment to watch this.
This video changed my fokin life.
A part of me always felt this way. So, to have someone finally put it into words, my mind was fucked. Leo blew me out of the water. Self-actualization. The tip top of the hierarchy of needs. The pure truth of what it means to be human. The realization that beyond establishing all of our basic needs, we have a higher purpose. We, in ourselves, are all we ever really need. There is contentment beyond the bullshit we've been fed our entire lives. Everything outside of ourselves isn't an attribution to our overall happiness. You are, dude. You are to yourself. It's fucking possible today. It's fucking possible right now. That's why I find it difficult watching others getting carried away with trying to look or feel a certain way, comparing ourselves to other people, wasting away hours of life to become richer, attempting to look a certain way to obtain love and approval and turning on each other to feel accepted. Life is so much more than your hourly wage. It's so much more than that new toy you're saving up for or your parent's approval. Once you begin to live life acknowledging all of this and working towards truly loving the process of being you, you can live a full life and be content with dying tomorrow.
There really is no destination to life. The entire ride is the journey.

Emails: Energy Dept. Asked Solyndra to Postpone Layoff Notice Until After Election
California solar firm got half-billion-dollar federal loan, went bankrupt.
Nov. 15, 2011 -- Emails released by Congressional investigators Tuesday suggest that the Obama administration asked solar firm Solyndra, the flagship of its green energy program, to postpone the announcement of job layoffs till after the 2010 midterm elections.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee's oversight subcommittee has been investigating the federal government's $535 million loan to Solyndra, which was backed by a major Obama fundraiser, to determine whether politics played any role in how the loan was awarded or restructured. The Department of Energy, which had made the California solar-panel maker its first loan guarantee recipient, has maintained that the loan was awarded and administered based on its merits.
But the Republican majority on the subcommittee has released emails from Argonaut Private Equity, the investment firm that backed Solyndra and is owned by Obama fundraiser George Kaiser, that the Republicans say shows that the Energy Department wanted to delay the announcement of Solyndra's layoff of 180 workers till the day after the Nov. 2, 2010 elections. According to the subcommittee, the layoffs were announced on Nov. 3, 2010, the day after the GOP landslide.
In early October, Solyndra was having financial problems and informed the Energy Department that it would need additional funds to keep operating. On Oct. 25, 2010, according to an email released by the subcommittee, Solyndra CEO Brian Harrison told the DEO that he had "received some press inquiries about rumors of problems," and also notified DOE that he wanted to tell employees about upcoming layoffs on Oct. 28.
READ the iWatch News story about the Argonaut emails.
According to a memo prepared by the subcommittee, Harrison's email was forwarded to Jonathan Silver, then head of the DOE Loan Programs Office, and to Energy Secretary Chu's chief of staff. Silver forwarded the email to Ron Klain, then Vice President Biden's chief of staff, as well as Carol Browner, then head of the White House climate change office, and another White House staffer.
On Oct. 30, 2010, according to the memo, "advisors for Argonaut Private Equity, Solyndra's largest investor, discussed the status of talks with DOE about the restructuring of the Solyndra [loan] guarantee." The subcommittee quotes an Argonaut email from from Steve Mitchell, Argonaut's managing director and a Solyndra board member, that says DOE "did push very hard for us to hold our announcement of the consolidation to employees and vendors to Nov. 3rd -- oddly they didn't give a reason for that date."
The subcommittee's memo says, "Several emails produced by Argonaut to the Committee reference the fact that the layoff announcement was postponed because of the November 2 elections."
The subcommittee did not initially release any of the emails referenced in the memo. It subsequently released the Oct. 25 and Oct. 30 emails, as well as an Oct. 27 Argonaut email that says, "The DOE has requested a delay until after the election (without mentioning the election)," and an Oct. 30 email in which an unidentified Argonaut exec tells Ken Levit, director of George Kaiser's charity, "No announcement till after elections at doe request."
Last week the Republican majority on the Energy and Commerce committee took heat from minority members for releasing incomplete emails in an attempt to make the Obama administration look bad. The Democrats said a fuller view of the emails in question actually presented evidence that the administration worked to avoid political meddling in the Solyndra deal.
The Energy Department said Tuesday that the latest email disclosure does not dispel its point: That the award to Solyndra was awarded on merit, not politics.
"The Republican report cites internal email from Argonaut about the timing of a press release," spokesman Damien LaVera wrote in reply to questions from iWatch News and ABC News. "But as the 180,000 pages of documents that the Department of Energy turned over to the Committee indicate, the Department's decisions about this loan were made on the merits, based on extensive review by the experts in the loan program -- and nothing in this Republican Committee memo changes that."
The DOE's Solyndra loan guarantee was announced in March 2009, two months into the Obama presidency, and heralded as a sign that a traditionally slow-moving agency could more rapidly spur projects benefiting the environment and economy. In its quest to award and later support its first guarantee recipient, the Energy Department ignored warnings from government staffers, outside analysts and even Solyndra's own auditor that it was, at best, a risky bet.

READ the Original ABC News Report on Solyndra
Earlier this year, with Solyndra swimming in debt, the Energy Department agreed to a refinancing that pushed back the company's payoff date -- and, notably, let investors including Kaiser stand in line first for reimbursement should the company fail. Those investors infused $75 million into Solyndra as DOE refinanced the company's debt this February. Under a pact between the parties, this round of investors will collect first in bankruptcy, and the government next.
Energy Secretary Steven Chu, who signed off on that agreement, will testify before the House Energy and Commerce oversight subcommittee Thursday. Jonathan Silver, head of the Energy Department's loan program, resigned from his post after testifying before the subcommittee earlier this year.

Second Year Food & Nutrition
Having studied Design Technology in the First Year pupils will study Food & Nutrition in the Second Year. Second Year Food & Nutrition encompasses both elements of designing and making. Pupils will have the opportunity to experience a range of practical skills through the making of a variety of products.
Third Year Food & Nutrition
Food & Nutrition is offered as an option in the Third Year. Food & Nutrition in the Third Year builds on the topics covered previously and involves both theory and practical work. Lessons are based on carbohydrate foods such as cereals, potatoes, bread, pasta, and rice. This course will enable students to develop their knowledge and understanding of these primary foods and much emphasis is placed on practical sessions to develop the basic skills in these areas. Pupils will also cover; functions of ingredients, sensory evaluation, disassembly, product evaluation and use various ICT programmes to communicate their design ideas effectively. This course provides a sound foundation for those wishing to take Food & Nutrition to GCSE as well as food knowledge and skills which will be of use throughout life.
GCSE Food & Nutrition
The syllabus content provides opportunities for students to develop Design and Technology capability through activities, including:
The course covers units of work such as:
Assessment has two aspects - Controlled Assessment (which counts for 60% of the marks) and a written examination at the end of the Fifth Year (worth 40% of the marks).
The coursework will consist of two projects, where a range of quality food products are designed. One project will focus on the design aspect and the other on making. This is expected to take approximately 40 hours and is to be largely completed at School during the Fifth Year.
The written paper will allow pupils to apply their knowledge and understanding of Food & Nutrition through multiple choice, short answer and extended-writing questions.
A Level Food & Nutrition
AQA GCE A Level Food & Nutrition consists of four units of study:
How the course is taught
Two subject teachers teach the course. Emphasis is placed on student participation, presentation, research and independent learning. The department is well resourced for textbooks, subscriptions to journals to give up to date information on key topic areas, recipe books and practical equipment. Students will be fully supervised throughout the completion of the coursework element.
All students will be expected to engage fully in lessons, keep up to date with the homework set and to be aware of issues in the news and government policy with regard to food issues.
Preparatory Work
It is recommended that all students familiarise themselves with one of the textbooks before they embark on the course. They will also complete summer work, which will enable them to have an overview of the work that will be covered during the Lower Sixth.
