At the best of times, John McCain is a good man — even a great one. But the sad truth is that much of the moral fiber that makes him great, and distinguishes him from the vast swath of his party, seems to come and go with the political cycle. An example.
After winning the nomination in 2008, McCain took a bold step, and eliminated the phrase "Democrat Party" from his party's platform. By way of background, this shortening of the Democratic Party's name, designed to emphasize the harsh "rat" sound and otherwise convey disrespect, has a long history in the Republican's vocabulary of derision. Regular use dates at least to Joe McCarthy, but it was the 1996 Republican Party, and George W. Bush, who re-injected the term into modern discourse. Restoring to his Democratic opponents the respect of using their own name, then, was an extraordinary, if subtle, act of political courage, and a sign of the true class of which John McCain is capable.
You can probably see where this is going. From an e-mail to supporters:
My Friend,
The 2010 election offers all Americans – and especially Republicans – a critical choice. We can fight for the principles we believe in, or watch as Barack Obama and the Democrat-controlled Congress take our nation down a costly, destructive path.
McCain's use of the term is half-hearted — he recants of it later ("Inconceivably the Obama White House and Democratic Congressional leaders…") — but it's a sure sign of how tough things must be in Arizona. The last time we saw McCain slip into hyper-negative mode was February of '08, as the general election campaign kicked off and McCan began to face (scurrilous) allegations of impropriety with campaign staff. Palin would later carry this torch for McCain.
Democrat Party. Socialism. "Liberal fascism." Death panels. ObamaCare. ObamaCrats. "Hopey changey." This rhetoric, par for the course from senior almost GOP policymakers, amounts to a slur on the political process, and proof that the GOP continues to win by pandering to the lowest common denominator. McCain used to be better than that, intermittently, sometimes.

Study Finds an App Helped Women Up Their Daily Steps
The researchers still have questions as to why there were limits on how long the women maintained the extra activity.
There's little denying the benefits of being more physically active throughout your day — for just about anyone. Physical activity helps mental health, is good for sleep, boosts energy, and helps lower the risk of long-term chronic health problems like obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. And there's no denying that many Americans are not moving as much as they should be.
A new study has found that one way to help reverse that problem might be a mobile phone app.
RELATED: How Much Exercise Do You Actually Need?
The research, published online on May 24 in JAMA Network Open, found that women who used a phone app with an activity tracker and had three, brief in-person counseling sessions increased their daily activity over a three-month period more than women who just used an activity tracker to measure movement. During the first three months of the study, the women who used the app took approximately 2,000 steps (the equivalent of about a mile) more per day than the women who used only the activity tracker.
The women remained more active in the six months after they stopped using the app compared with their initial activity level, though their total movement dipped compared with the first three months of using the app. The study was funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the American Heart Association.
"Our findings could go a long way to get more people to move," said Yoshimi Fukuoka, RN, PhD, a professor of physiological nursing at the University of California in San Francisco and the lead author of the study, in a press release.
RELATED: How to Start Exercising and Stick With It
This study is different from other related studies in that its design was well controlled and it followed participants longer, says Neha Vyas, MD, a family medicine doctor in the Cleveland Clinic system who was not involved in the research. "This study was well designed, had a control group and two other arms of the study, and [was] lengthier than others," says Dr. Vyas.
Women Who Used the App Walked About a Mile More per Day
For the study, researchers recruited 210 physically inactive women between ages 25 and 65. The participants had a three-week "run-in period," during which they used an accelerometer to determine the baseline number of daily steps they took. The women were then randomly assigned to one of three groups:
- A control group who had no intervention but used tracking devices to count daily steps for the nine months of the trial
- A group who participated in counseling, used the tracker and the phone app for three months, and then continued to use only the tracker for six more months
- A group who received counseling and used activity trackers and the phone app for the entire nine months
The women in both groups using the app had brief, in-person counseling sessions at the beginning of the study, at one and a half months in, and at three months in. The sessions included goal setting, identification of potential barriers to reaching goals, and education about healthy diet and weight maintenance.
The app the women used was one developed by the researchers exclusively for the study, and it is not currently commercially available. Its design was informed by evidence-based behavioral change strategies for short- and long-term goal setting, self-monitoring, and relapse prevention, Dr. Fukuoka tells Everyday Health.
The app increased the participants' activity goals by 20 percent each week until the user reached a maximum goal of 10,000 steps daily. The app also sent a daily motivating message or video clip. One of the daily messages asked users: "Have you let everyone around you know that you are trying to become more active so they can help you meet your goals?" If the user answered no, the next screen displayed: "Let others know about your physical activity goal." If the user answered yes, it showed the message "Nice work!"
The data showed that the app did indeed increase daily movement for its users compared with those who didn't use the app in the first three months.
Everyone in the study averaged between 5,000 and 6,000 daily steps at the start of the study. And after the first three months, the women in both groups using the app were taking 2,060 more steps per day on average, whereas the women's daily steps for the control group not using the app didn't change. The app users also increased their moderate to vigorous physical activity by 18 minutes a day compared with the control group.
In the six months after that, all the women who had used the app were still moving more daily than they were at baseline (even though the women in the second group had stopped using the app). But none of the women were taking as many steps per day as they had during the initial three-month phase of the intervention. During the final six months of the study, total daily steps for the control group remained unchanged compared with the start of the study, while the women who had used or were still using the app took an average of 1,360 more daily steps than they had at the start of the study and were logging eight more minutes of moderate or vigorous physical activity.
RELATED: New Physical Activity Guidelines Say We Should Be Moving More All Day Long
The benefits of using the app were not significantly different among the women who used it for just the initial three months of the study versus the women who used the app for the full nine months of the study.
The app and counseling seemed equally effective for everyone regardless of age, race, education, or household income.
The Results Are Encouraging, but Questions Remain About How to Sustain Increased Activity
It's encouraging that the data shows the app did help the women increase their physical activity over the course of the study, Fukuoka says. Even though the benefit dipped in the final six months of the study, it was encouraging to see that movement was still up from before the women started using the app, she says.
"Sustaining any behavior change is difficult in general," Fukuoka says. "It is encouraging to see that 97.6 percent of the women in our trial completed the nine-month intervention and kept up part of their increased activity."
This study wasn't designed to discover why the benefits of the app waned after just a few months. But it's a question the researchers want to follow up on, Fukuoka says.
An app can't be all things to all people, adds Brian Housle, an exercise physiologist at Duke Diet and Fitness Center in Durham, North Carolina. Housle was not involved in the study.
An app that helps a 24-year-old single man living in New York City move more might not help a 58-year-old woman living with her husband and taking care of an aging mother in rural Idaho.
An app that's specific to you — your age group, your favorite activities, and other preferences — will likely be more effective, he says. He also suggests using apps that help you strategize how to start moving more over time, rather than change your behavior drastically all at once. "Maybe add just 1,000 extra steps or 10 minutes more of moving. That's still important," Housle says.
It's hard to know from the study whether it was the app alone that motivated the individuals to exercise more or if there were some other factors that were not measured, says Vyas. It may be that something additional was needed to keep up their motivation for change, she says.
RELATED: Tips for Actually Sticking to Your Workout Routine
Like most tools, apps have benefits and drawbacks. On the plus side, apps are accessible to everyone who has a phone and can be used in the comfort of your own home and on your own schedule, says Vyas. A weakness is what Vyas calls the "spam effect."
"The messages become so frequent and commonplace that you start to ignore them," she says.
Many factors must fall into place in order for someone to be successful at behavior change, Vyas says. Having a specific goal, a road map and a timeline for achieving the goal, and a plan for what you'll do in the event that you get sidetracked or distracted, can all help with success.
"Also, identifying your motivation for why you want to make this change and enlisting support from those around you will help keep you from getting derailed," Vyas says.

Final Nord Stream 2 pipe leaves Swedish port
The last pipe for the Nord Stream 2 pipeline stored within the premises of the port of Karlshamn, Sweden has left the port.
Nord Stream 2 AG, a subsidiary of Russia's Gazprom and operator of the Nord Stream 2 offshore gas pipeline, said last Saturday that nearly 39,000 pipes had transited through the port since October 7, 2017.
Out of these, almost 37,000 pipes were shipped to the pipelay vessels working on the Swedish section of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
It is worth noting that the surplus was transported back to the port of Mukran in northern Germany and that Wasco Coating was in charge of the logistics operations in the port of Karlshamn during the 23-month-long period.
Stig Holgersen, Nord Stream 2's site representative for coating and logistics in Karlshamn, said: "We are very pleased with the effort and dedication shown by the workers. Not a single lost-time injury was reported during the 23 months of operations in the port of Karlshamn, despite difficult conditions at times."
Pipelay in the 510-kilometer-long Swedish section of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline is almost over. One line has been completed in this section, while the construction of the second line will resume on September 1, 2019. The second line is scheduled to be completed during October in the Swedish Exclusive Economic Zone.
Overall, more than 1,700 kilometers of the pipelines have been constructed so far in accordance with existing permits in Germany, Sweden, Finland, and Russia.
Nord Stream 2 was designed as two parallel 48-inch lines, roughly 1,200 kilometers long, each starting from south-west of St Petersburg and ending at German coast, Greifswald. Nord Stream 2's natural gas pipelines will have the capacity to transport 55 billion cubic meters (bcm) of Russian gas a year to the EU, for at least 50 years.
The project has encountered several difficulties during its construction. Namely, Nord Stream 2 AG recently brought an action for annulment of the amendment to the EU Gas Directive before a constituent court of the Court of Justice of the European Union "because of discrimination."
The company requested that Directive (EU) 2019/692 amending the EU Gas Directive be annulled because of an infringement of the EU law principles of equal treatment and proportionality as it was "clearly designed and adopted for the purpose of disadvantaging and discouraging the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline."

This case illustrates the
cruelty sometimes associated with "forced marriage". A teen girl in
Pakistan had oil thrown on her and was then set on fire in Pakistan for
reportedly refusing a marriage proposal. The intent was to murder her.
Her face will never be the same, her life will never be the same. Do
Western feminists care? evidently not. Also in Pakistan, forced
conversion and forced marriage of young Hindu and Christian girls are common.
Last year, a UK mother
took her teen daughter to Pakistan "under the guise of a holiday, but
later found herself being forced to marry a relative almost twice her
age". In a landmark ruling, the mother was jailed for forcing her
daughter to marry in Pakistan.
The UK even has a "Forced Marriage Unit"
set up, and according to 2017 stats: "more than 1,100 cases of forced
marriages were recorded", where Pakistani Muslims top the list. Open
door immigration imports a range of abusive Islamic practices. "Police arrest man in Muzaffargarh suspected of setting girl on fire for rejecting marriage proposal", by Mohammad Ali Dawn(Thanks to The Religion of Peace), May 9, 2019:

Aqua Nebula Oscillator interview with David Os
Aqua Nebula Oscillator are psychedelic rock band formed in Paris back in 1998 by David Spher'os. Most of their material consist from long improvised performances.
What are some of the more obscure records you enjoy?
To tell you the truth, since 5 years now, the only band I listening is Aqua Nebula Oscillator, haha. I think many musicians are like that, first they follow an initiation of the sound by listening, then they assimilates the sound, then they create the sound, so no need anymore to listen to music cause the music is in your mind all the time! But my favorite bands are not so obscure, Sam Gopal, Group 1850, Screaming Jay Hawkins, Pink Floyd (with Syd Barrett), the Beatles, Arzachel, Hawkwind, Suck, Guru Guru,13th floor Elevators, White Noise, MC5, the Deviants, Silver Apple! This are the bands who completely blew my mind and changed my life!
Were you in other bands before forming Aqua Nebula Oscillator?
Yes I was in bands before, but we didn't care about doing gigs or records cause our passion was to enter into the void, take a trip and play music in spiral for spirits and ghosts like many proper psychedelic musicians did before us! Again like an initiation before the conquest of the real (not real?) world! Aqua Nebula Oscillator is for me a comeback to reality! But don't worry, we are still psychedelic!
When was Aqua Nebula Oscillator born?
I began this band in 1999, and had many formation until now! But particular to this band is, that it was always formed as a family of brothers… really tight, almost like a sect! That's why we are so underground. As I said, it's not kind of music it's a way of living! The really first formation, before any recording, was a bunch of people performing in London Squat for hours, with painted faces on LSD, I just put a name on it and that's it, it was the beginning! People had to cut the electricity to make us stop playing, haha.
Why the name Aqua Nebula Oscillator?
Cause I have decide it, haha! We came from the stars to invade the fake world with our idea of reality which could be quiet unreal for certain! But not for us! That's why I have chosen this name! I'm not born to make money or business or recreate the past, even if I love and I live only for psychedelic! I just want to carry on this message, o"turn on, tune in and fuck of!" Since any humans are born, some people and the society try to squeeze their brains, put them in little boxes and I just want to say NO! STOP this shit, we are there, free, alive, stable and we have our proper idea of reality, and FUCK YOU, we are hard meat and we don't gonna shut up until death and even after, haha! And I want many people to think like that! That why I'm making music, to give a freedom message even if I'm late from 30 years ago, haha but anyway even 30 years ago it fall, so let's try again!
What do you remember from first sessions you had as Aqua Nebula?
2 pieces of paper with a purple eye on it, a bottle of whiskey and 2 nice girls running in the woods!
In 2008 you released your first album called Aqua Nebula Oscillator on Pan European Records.
I have told you, with 2 pieces of paper with a purple eye on it, a bottle of whiskey and 2 nice girls running in the woods, haha!
You released another album called Under the Moon of Aqua Nebula Oscillator in 2008 also on Pan European Records.
The second album was only one girl screaming in my cave! And a big orange cat, haha… and not the same members so, it changed a lot! I like both, different people, different vibes, but the better one is always the next one so, the one I prefer is the third one which is not out yet! Different formation again, and to me the best one! Proper dark hard psychedelia! I love it! In this formation the people just want to play and have a good time, they are real musician, they don't care about any business, they just want to enjoy and to make a good band. It's really important to be pure like a young baby playing with his toys! To do things with passion and recklessness! Purity=good music.
In 2010 you released EP called Excavation on Assommer Records. You also released compilation called Caves Recordings 1998-2004.
I love those albums, cause the Caves Recordings were made when we were really the purest in mind with no music business at all, playing in the wood, and the "excavation", is a recording of one of the first practices of the second formation, so again we were still pure, aggressive and raw!
Share an interesting experience you had from concerts…
To me each concert is an experience, and I don't have a lot of memory, so the best experience gonna be the next one!
What is your opinion about psychedelic rock these days?
In all my life I have never saw any proper psychedelic band, like when you watch the film of the Pink Floyd with Syd Barrett! This is proper psychedelic band! I've only saw rock bands, pop bands, hard rock bands! All the bands who pretend to be psychedelic these days are not, I'm sorry to say that, but I know about the felling to be and play on "psychedelics" cause I did it a thousand time and when you play on psychedelics, the sound is raw, wild, chaotic and harmonious and you can't even play songs! But the best live gigs I ever saw in my life was Aluk Todolo, the Love with Arthur Lee and Guru Guru last year, they blew my mind!
What are some future plans?
Going to Spain for a small tour, then to the really nice festival called Dunajam in Sardinia, then Finland (Ilmio festival), then a tour of east Europe organized by you, haha, and also in a month time we'll put out two titles (Dead Soul and Lucifer) and a proper album in about 6 months time with Pan European and hopefully a worldwide license for our music!
Thank you for this interview.
Keep always your freedom in mind, don't care about what the people say, do what you want, be real as you can and don't forget that we are wild animals! BE AWARE AND ALIVE
– Klemen Breznikar

Atea Case Study
- PRODUCT: Recommend and Discover
- CHALLENGE: Complex Account Permission and Product Compatibility
- RESULTS: Up to 20% increase in Basket Size
Atea, the market leader in IT infrastructure in Europe's Nordic and Baltic regions, offers a full range of hardware and software solutions to business and public-sector organizations. Atea specializes in helping their customers maximize productivity from their IT investments. Atea is headquartered in Oslo, Norway with 87 offices in seven countries, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
Atea set out to improve their customer experience on their eshop https://www.atea.dk/eshop/ through a strategic personalization initiative. They needed both a partner and platform that understood how their complex business differed from traditional B2C retail and solve for the complexities and nuances of the B2B challenges they faced. Atea required a trustworthy partner that could scale for the enterprise, manage complex product compatibility challenges and accommodate for diverse and restricted catalogs across customer accounts.
Allan Bo Christiansen, Digital Business Developer at Atea explained:
"Atea has very complex and interesting needs when it comes to personalization which is why it was so important to have a provider we could trust and that could handle the complexities of our business. RichRelevance was the only provider that clearly demonstrated their success in handling complex B2B use cases and had the ability to scale and comply with privacy requirements."
One of Atea's specific challenges for personalization was the variance in catalog assortments at the account level; each account has a unique array of items that are permitted for purchase by their businesses. Atea wanted to personalize the buying experience but needed a platform that would only display and recommend products that a user is authorized to purchase. RichRelevance easily manages such a use case and improves the customer experience further by limiting recommendable products to only those that are compatible to the one being viewed or purchased. For example, an IT user purchasing a laptop, not only gets recommended their preferred brands, but also compatible products he might also need – cables, mouse, keyboard, monitor, printer etc.
Allan explains in more detail how Atea use RichRelevance and some of the results they are seeing;
"Atea is using RichRelevance to personalize the customer journey primarily with product recommendations throughout their search, navigation and especially on the product detail page. We've seen our customers are trusting our recommendations now and getting more involved with the content that we are recommending, what this mean is we are seeing a lot higher product engagement than we've seen previously with our set up, which is materializing into an increase in basket size and quantity of up to 20%. This means that we are creating a lot more value to our customers than we've done previously across the platform which is really valuable to us."
Atea views RichRelevance as a strategic partner, not just a vendor, and works closely with the RichRelevance Product Team, Consultants and their Customer Success Manager. Atea sits on RichRelevance's Customer Advisory Board and is a member of product councils, which enables them to provide input into the strategic direction of the product roadmap and gain early access to new features via early adopter programs.
Via the early adopter program for RichRelevance's Summer Launch, in June 2018, Atea was one of the early users of the newly released Experience Browser. Atea is particularly delighted with the open and transparent analytics offered through this browser as Allan explained:
"With the Experience Browser we can easily understand how AI works without needing a data scientist to decode it for us. This technology has completely changed the way we approach AI – with just a few clicks we can understand purchase intent drivers, analyze segments, have insight as to why certain strategies were picked instead of others and proactively manage our customer experience across the entire journey. We're able to make educated decisions and take action in real time based on data not just instincts. This is crucial to being able to integrate personalization into new areas of the customer journey"
Atea is strategically working to incorporate personalization into all aspects of the buyer journey across different sales channels. Atea is working in partnership with RichRelevance to personalize their search and content experiences, with Find™ and Engage™ respectively. They are also working on integrating personalization into 100% automated emails, to recommend both products and engage users with content.
"We are trying to push the limits of personalization in the future, we're trying to ensure that personalization will be part of our entire platform, and our different channels, making sure we have an automated set up, relying on feedback and insights from customers and experience browser and other RichRelevance tools, so we can provide the best and create the most value for our customers. We are excited about the future with RichRelevance improving our customers journey and making our platforms more personal on a one to one level so we are sure to create more value." Concluded Allan.DOWNLOAD

5 Etsy Must Haves Every Renter Needs In Their Life!
Etsy is a great source for finding one of a kind items for your home – but sometimes the sheer amount of products on there can be overwhelming. In this post, I've narrowed down a few of my favourite sellers and included 5 Etsy must haves for renters
I 'stumbled' upon Etsy a few years ago on one of those Facebook groups dedicated to creatives and hand makers. The word Etsy kept popping up in the various conversations, and rather than ask, I hit the google search bar to find out more instead (like any sensible adult of the 21st century would have done)
What's Etsy? I remember thinking aloud as I waited for the browser to load (it took a while, Fibre Optic Broadband didn't exist back then you see)
The Etsy then wasn't as big as it was now. However the potential of what appeared to be quite a unique concept was evident to see from the very beginning. I remember browsing the platform and feeling quite impressed by the creativity from its independent sellers and artisan designers.
It was all very exciting . There was nothing out there like it, at the time
It was a few years after that first initial scroll, that I started shopping (rather sporadically) on Etsy as a consumer. Originally I had used it to buy family and friends handmade gifts (and at one point, to design a logo for my current blog). Gradually that changed to shopping for prodcuts to decorate my own home.
Let's be honest, when you buy from a small business, it is just so much more personal. Sometimes I get sweet messages from the seller or a lovely DM thanking me for the purchase . You don't get that when you buy from large corporations which always make me want to support local sellers even more.
If you're new to Etsy, the following tips might help you to navigate this platform better!
- Download the Etsy App on your phone
- Create an account. If you have a Facebook account, this can be done in just a few clicks.
- Favourite items or shop you like (like a virtual wish list)
- Follow the users of favourite shops and items to customise your personal feed.
- Be specific with your search terms. If you're not exactly sure what you want, try searching for specific styles or eras
- Filter your searches to the area you live in (to find locals sellers)
- Message sellers privately if you have any queries about a service or product.
- Browse edits – there's a great one for interior design trends
Now, I talk a lot about the importance of accessorising a rented home (in fact I've written a whole book about it). Having an item or piece of furniture that is unique to YOU, that doesn't effect the permeability of the property, can make ALL the difference.
And shopping on a worldwide virtual market like Etsy means you are far more likely to come across items that fit that description .Here are my favourite Etsy must haves if you're looking to personalise your rented home.
Who wants to live surrounded by bare walls?
Please don't think that you HAVE to just because you rent. There are plenty of ways to work around the no nails rule. Buy non adhesive strips to hang frames or simply try leaning larger art pieces against the wall.
There is a huge selection of art to choose from on Etsy. So huge in fact, that it CAN sometimes feel like you're searching for a needle in a haystack.
Scandi print by Scandi Print Studio
SEARCHING FOR ART: What styles do you like (i.e abstract, lines, scandi, typography)? If its for a particular room, do you have a colour in mind? What size? Do you want framed or not framed? Hard copy or just a downloadable copy?
I personally like to shop for abstract art on Etsy. One of my favourite sellers is Galya S. Here are just a few examples of her work.
I prefer to buy my prints as downloadable copies and the gallery wall in my bedroom (which is a work in progress -) is a great example of this. Most of the art you see here was printed out on to either A4 or A3 sized paper and framed. Buying this way meant that I didn't have to pay for postage and/or wait for it to arrive.
Sometimes you just need things NOW – know what I mean?
I'm sure you do, we aren't a generation known for our patience. It's all about convenience these days now.
Oh yesss!
That magical paper that transforms walls without causing any damage.
I first came across this type of wallpaper on Etsy (or maybe it was via one of those targeted ads that have an uncanny way of knowing what you want before you do). I saw the words peel able and removable all in the same sentence and I could not contain my excitement.
SEARCHING FOR REMOVABLE WALLPAPER: Filter by style ( bohemian, rustic, country) ,colour, pattern (abstract, floral) and location.
What size are you after? Do you need custom measurements (if so message the seller)? What is the cost of delivery if ordering from abroad? This is most likely going to be a big purchase so are there any reviews? Where will you be putting this paper? Can you use it in humid environments i.e bathroom, kitchen?
Who isn't obsessed with cushions in general? (Don't answer that. If you said no, I do'nt think I could I bear it! ).
Floor cushions, in particular are a great way to inject a little colour and texture into a room. Think about it for a second. Not only have you found a way to disguise an ugly stain on the floor, but you've also added in extra movable seating for guests! I think the phrase you are looking for is killing two birds with one stone!
I met a seller called Simply Skandi on Etsy a few years ago who sells floor scandi style cushions – I later found that she didn't live too far from me! We connect now and again via email and our looking to collaborate in the future. I doubt I would have made that connection without Etsy!
SEARCHING FOR FLOOR CUSHIONS: Filter by size, material, shape, pattern and or colour. Remember that cushions is also known as pillows in different parts of the world. What shape cushion do you want (round, square, box)? Cushion covers or the full thing? What size? Do you want knitted or cotton? Vintage or handmade?
Candles are a must have for everyone, not just renters. Why?
- are great at masking dodgy smells
- are very soothing and relaxing,
- offer a cozy glow to a room,
- (and this is the most important one) can be used as decorative accessories – if you chose the right looking one!
And Etsy is hands down the best base place to buy them!
I have bought a few in the past as gifts, and for my own home. I love soy based candles like the ones Octolondon sell. They match my style – and also have lids to contain all the yummy smells when they aren't burning.
You're probably wondering why this is even in my must haves list right? Of all the things to buy from Etsy – and I'm choosing place mats!
Hear me out.
You wouldn't think twice about dressing your bed, your sofas, or your walls even. But when it comes to tables in the dining room, sometimes we forget they need a little love too!!
Especially if said table happens to be a flat packed landlord bought contraption lacking in character. Just saying. I mean of course placements are useful for obvious practical reasons too. But who says, practical can't also be fun pretty??
Etsy has all the handmade place mats and coaster sets a girl (or guy) could ever want. One of my favourite sellers of place mats on Etsy at the minute is Nihal Shah Designs. The pattern on his sets are gorgeous and look great on my cork board table!
SEARCHING PLACE MATS ON ETSY: Filter by shape, material, and/or colour. Do you want a set or individual placemats? If so how many? Which base material do you prefer – rustic wood, fabric, slate, clay, cork etc? Do you have a custom shape idea in mind – i.e plant leaf placemat?
And there you have it, my top Etsy must haves for renters (or interior obsessives like myself. Is there anything else you would add to this list?

It has rained, and occasionally stormed, every day for the past couple of weeks here in D.C. And as indicated by the ominous-looking skies in the background of the photos from this bike ride, it rained again today. But I haven't let that keep me from my lunchtime bike rides. And on this ride, I went to see the Christopher Columbus Memorial Fountain, located in the middle of Columbus Plaza (MAP), in front of Union Station in northeast D.C.'s NoMa neighborhood.
The fountain, also sometimes referred to as the Columbus Monument, is a memorial to Christopher Columbus, the Italian explorer, navigator, and first colonizer of the Western Hemisphere or "New World." It was designed by American sculptor Lorado Zadoc Taft, a distant relative of President William Howard Taft, in collaboration with architect Daniel Burnham. It is a semicircular double-basin fountain with a shaft in the center. The front of the shaft bears a full-length portrait of Christopher Columbus staring south toward the U.S. Capitol Building with his arms crossed in front of him. He is flanked on his right side by an American Indian, who is facing west, representing the "New World." On Columbus' left side is an elderly man facing east, representing the "Old World." In front of the shaft is a ship prow that features a winged figurehead leading the way. That represents "discovery." And above Columbus is a globe representing the Western hemisphere, with four eagles, one on each corner connected by garland. Two lions, placed away from the base, guard the left and right sides of the fountain.
In a day the New York Times referred to as "second only to the inauguration of a President," the fountain was publicly unveiled in a dedication ceremony and parade on June 8, 1912. After the Knights of Columbus' successful lobbying for the sculpture which had begun a half a dozen years earlier, the festivities at the dedication ceremony included approximately 50,000 members of the organization. The ceremony was presided over by then Secretary of State Philander Knox, with invocation given by Father Thomas Shahan, the Rector of The Catholic University of America. Other notable participants included Italian Ambassador Cusania Confalonieri, Apostolic Delegate to United States Archbishop Giovanni Vincenzo Cardinal Bonzano and other Catholic Church notables, as well as President Taft. It also included 15,000 troops, 2,000 motor cars, a 21 gun salute, and elaborate horse-drawn floats depicting noteworthy incidents in Columbus' life. And it was all viewed by around 150,000 spectators.
During his formal address at the dedication ceremony, President Taft said, "It is most difficult for us by any effort of the imagination to take in the problem which Columbus solved." And as I visited the fountain today, I contemplated that statement. In this age of technology-assisted navigation and easy travel, it is almost impossible to fully comprehend the both the difficult conditions and the uncertainty of the outcome of Columbus' journeys. Not only did he not have GPS or satellite imagery, Columbus didn't even have a map. That's because no maps existed at that time of where he was going. All he had was a compass and an astrolabe. His boat actually started to fall apart on his first voyage. They nearly ran out of food and water, facing starvation and dehydration. In fact, Columbus wrote in his diary in 1492, "We ate biscuit which was a powder swarming with worms. It smelt of rats. … We ate sawdust from the boards." They also faced the threat of many diseases, and many people died on the ship. They encountered severe storms and weather challenges as well. And with all these problems, his crew not only wanted to turn back, they wanted to kill him. So next time you're headed through Union Station or Reagan National Airport on your way somewhere, stop and think about how good you've got it.

Khloe K Says Her Fam Fat-Shamed Her Into Dieting Coz Her Weight Was 'Hurting' The Kardashian Brand
Khloe Kardashian has revealed that her family encouraged her to lose weight because her fuller-figure was supposedly "hurting" the Kardashian-Jenner brand.
Believe it or not, but Khloe explained in a recent episode of Revenge Body that her family didn't exactly tiptoe around the fact that they wanted her to go on a diet.
Say what you will about the #Kardashians but @khloekardashian is my inspiration for my weight loss.She looks amazing! pic.twitter.com/O55jjI3o4m
— Leslie Martinez (@tinydncrles) September 28, 2015
Recalling the time an unnamed member of her family advised: "Khloé, you got to lose weight cause you're really hurting the brand," the 33-year-old admitted that the conversation had a massive impact on her self-confidence.
"I'm a huge believer of it's not what you say, it's how you say it...I understand that was coming from my management side of my family, but it does hurt," she added.
Of course, Khloe later managed to lose an incredible 40 pounds in the space of two years and penned 2015 book Strong Looks Better Naked about her weight-loss journey.
This isn't the first time Khloe has opened up about the pressures of the industry on women who don't fit into a sample size. In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, she recalled being overlooked by stylists due to her size.
"I definitely think the fashion industry, and people in general, look at me more now that I've lost weight," she said.
"Even on shoots, I would never have options for clothing. There would always be this attention on Kourtney and Kim, but I was too much work for [stylists] or they had nothing in my size. I wasn't even that crazy big!"
As disappointing as this all is, it's good to see Khloe shedding light on some of the worst parts of the beauty industry.

Back when I lived in a hippie commune with approximately nine humans and 37 dogs, I would bike to the library on a regular basis to keep myself in reading material without spending all of my meager paycheck on books. As I was leaving one day, I asked one of my roommates if she wanted me to pick up anything at the library for her. Her response: "Is it free?"
Is it free? Is it free?
Let's pretend for a minute that it's not completely weird and unbelievable that an adult human being could grow up in the United States without ever having learned the first thing (literally, the very first thing) about the public library. Let's also set aside the fact that this particular person was an English major. I'll just state, definitively and for the record:
The library is fucking free, you fool. So why the hell wouldn't you use it? Especially if you're trying to save money or you're already on a tight budget?
There are some exceptions, of course. But in general, public libraries in the United States are completely free. They're just one of the many awesome social services you get for the cost of paying your taxes, much like the fire department and paved roads. Consider it a perk of membership in civilized society.
And you don't even really have to pay taxes to participate in all the library has to offer. Children, the homeless, and temporary residents on work or student visas can all get library cards. Neat, right?
And yet there are people like my old roommate who live their lives completely oblivious to the magical properties of the public library. I am here to set those precious, oblivious little babes in the woods straight. Consider this a PSA on the magical money-saving properties of the American public library.
You can save so much money on books by using the library
I religiously update my Goodreads account so I know exactly how many books I read in a given year. In 2013 for example, I read 53 books, and 37 of those were from the library. The average cost of an adult trade paperback that year was $15.51. So I literally saved $573.87 by getting books from the library last year. That's a month's rent for some people. That's two months worth of groceries. That's six months of gas and car insurance payments! And even if you're a prodigious reader, you don't have to spend that money on books.
"Oh, but I like to write in the margins and underline stuff and dog-ear the pages and then hold onto books for years and years so I know that they're really mine and no one else's!" Ok, that's cool. You do you. But that's a luxury you have to pay for. And if you're spending $500 on books every year just so you can have the privilege of trashing them, I'm not going to have a lot of sympathy for you the next time you complain about being broke.
So practice a little restraint and avoid marking up your books. Keep a notebook or try Goodreads instead. And get thee to the goddamn library.
You can get so much more than books at the library
It's a wonder Blockbuster lasted as long as it did when it had to compete with the public library. And record labels don't even seem to realize their biggest threat isn't BitTorrent, but the public library. Because movies and music are all easily found for free at your local library branch.
"But sometimes the library just doesn't have the media I want to consume when I want to consume it!" This is legit. Fortunately, the library has systems in place to help.
There's inter-library loan, in which you can ask another library far, far away to lend a thing to your library branch so that your branch can then lend it to you. It takes a bit longer to get your free stuff this way, but it works and librarians are happy to make it happen for you. And beggars (for free shit anyway) can't be choosers, amirite?
Or if it looks like there's not a single library in a five-county radius that has the obscure printing of The Books of the Chilam Balam in the original K'iche' Maya that you're looking for, you can ask your library to order it. That's right: you have power over which books are stocked at your local library. All you have to do is fill out a request and they'll buy the book and lend it out to you as often as you like.
Want some audiobooks? Great! The public library offers them to you for free on a number of different platforms!
Books, music, movies, magazines, newspapers, comic books, sheet music, academic journals, technical manuals, free wifi, concerts, poetry readings, free classes—all of this can be yours if you just go to the damn library!
Librarians are paladins in the war between ignorance and enlightenment
My mother-in-law is a librarian. She went to librarian school for many, many years, and I'm pretty sure what they taught her there was everything.
Librarians are trained to help you find knowledge. They know how to do all the research on all the things, and it's literally their job to assist you with this process. Want to learn everything there is to know about guinea pig husbandry? A librarian will spend five minutes pulling up 3,000 digitized articles in academic journals for you, and she'll rank them in order of relevance. Desperate to find out how to build your very own space shuttle and start a private space exploration company to rival NASA? There's a librarian who is just dying to send you home with a metric fuckton of multimedia resources.
Just need to write that goddamn essay on Wuthering Heights for your 8 a.m. Brit Lit class? A librarian will supply you with every scholarly deconstruction ever written on that shitty excuse for a classic, and they'll probably come up with your thesis statement for you just for fun. It'll be something like: "Heathcliff and Catherine fucking deserve each other because they're both miserable goddamn monsters who destroy everything they touch and think their inability to set aside personal pride and apologize once in awhile is somehow more important than the genuine suffering of others."
I've seen a librarian help an unemployed man write his resume. I've seen one show an elderly woman how to increase the text size on her Kindle so she wouldn't have to use her reading glasses. I've seen a librarian meet a woman at the door with the stack of books she had on hold so she didn't have to drag her five children inside to disrupt the peace of the other library dwellers. They're good people. Make use of them.
Go to the fucking library
Can't afford to pay your Internet bill this month? Go to the library, they have free wifi. Need to pay down debt instead of paying for Netflix? Go to the library, they have binge-worthy shows on DVD. Can't afford to buy your college textbooks? Go to the library, it's easier to study there anyway.
The stacks are filled with literal unicorns and talking puppies. Perfectly choreographed songbirds will accompany you and your selected library finds home. And all of this will happen while you swell with the sense of satisfaction that comes from saving your hard-earned dough for more important things later on. Go to the library so that you can pay off your student loans. Go to the library so you can save up a down payment on a house. Go to the library so you can afford a new pair of shoes and the heating bill this month.
Just go to the goddamn library, you fool.

The panel comprised of Ms Halima Yagoob Mohammed, Gender Based Violence Expert; Ms Mariam Alsadig Almahdi, General Secretary Assistant for Communication, Umma National Party; Ms Mona Elshareif Tazorah, Public Health Professional, University of Medical Science and Technology; Ms Mona Mohammed Gumma Khatier, Human Rights Expert; Dr Asma Siddig Adam Abdalla, Klaimendo Development Organisation and Niemat Ahmadai, Representative of the Darfur Leaders Network, USA. Dr Monica Juma, Executive Director, African Policy Institute, chaired the discussion that was attended by more than 50 people from different non-governmental and international organizations as well as government representatives.
The panel underscored the need for peace and security in their country in general, and Darfur in particular. All of them recognized the destruction of property and systematic violation of human rights as a situation that was unhealthy and needed to be resolved. They were unanimous on the need to empower all Sudanese women and engender the peace process so that they effectively participate in the search for peace and reconstruction in their country. The women recognized that they were poorly represented in peace negotiating teams/missions because, among other things, they lacked the capacity for effective participation. They appealed to civil and international organizations to help build their capacity so that they could add their voice to the peace efforts in Sudan.
The Sudanese women expressed deep concern over the massive displacements that occurred recently in the northern part of west Darfur due to an escalation in violence. They said such acts of forced displacements, constant killings, and acts of sexual violence, were the order of the day in Darfur. Furthermore, the recent events resulted in secondary displacement. Hence, the women can not sustain a livelihood because they live in constant fear.
"We, Sudanese women here, are seeking peace, protection, security and sustainability for all people of Sudan. We are not against the Government (of Sudan). We recognize the effort of the Government and the international community but there are some things, such as acts of sexual violence against women, in particular rape, that need attention. If we deny them, we are not healing," Ms Mona Elsharief Tazorah said during the meeting. These profound words were a testament of people who are feeling the real effects of the conflict.
However, the road to peace and justice remains a big challenge, as observed by Ms Niemat Ahmadai, who called upon member states of the Human Rights Council to, not only speed up the deployment of UNAMID (a joint African Union and United Nations hybrid operation), but provide it with adequate capacity and mandate to enable it supervise the implementation of the Darfur Peace Agreement, as well as protect its personnel and civilians. She also felt that UNAMID would provide a trustworthy environment for the warring factions to be able to engage in a legitimate political process at a round table. There was also a call to have a Woman's Police Force set up to help in providing security in Darfur. Further, she felt that the use of rape as weapon of war has greatly affected women and girls in Darfur and urged the international community to put up measures that would discourage and prohibit the use of rape as a weapon of war.
The women also wanted certain Sudanese laws reviewed, which they felt greatly disadvantaged them and infringed on their rights, particularly those that deal with rape. They would like Article 149 of the Sudanese Criminal Act, 1991 to be amended because there was confusion in its interpretation. They would, particularly, like rape to become a separate crime from adultery. In addition, they urged for the review of the family law and for female circumcision to be legislated as a crime.
Later that day, in another forum, the women, FAS and World YWCA staff had a chance to meet and have a discussion with Ms Sima Samar, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of Human Rights in the Sudan, on the situation in Darfur.
Ms Samar undertook to convey these concerns to the UN envoy for the Darfur peace process, Jan Eliasson and his counterpart in the African Union, Salim Ahmed Salim.

These riders choose the Tucker brand for the comfort, durability, and fit for horse and rider. They use our saddles everyday, ride thousands of miles per year, and contribute to research and development. They are the ambassadors of the Tucker brand.
Gillian Larson is the youngest woman to ever solo thru-ride the Pacific Crest Trail. She has twice completed the 2,650 miles of the PCT alone on horseback with the same AQHA mare, Shyla. She continues to seek equestrian wilderness adventures throughout the U.S. in her Tucker saddle, and April 12th began a new thru-ride on the Arizona Trail. It began at the Mexican border and spans the length of the state to cross the Grand Canyon and end in Utah. She now rides Shyla's son, Takoda, and a new mule named Karlee.
"Wherever my horse and I go, Tucker takes me there!" – Gillian Larson

For Bernice, long riding is not a job or a hobby, it is her life and her passion. Unlike other long riders that have undertaken a ride as a once-in-a-lifetime thing, Bernice has been long riding since 2005, with more than 28,000 miles! Bernice has ridden more than 10,000 miles in a single Tucker saddle and ridden more than 20,000 miles in a Tucker.
"Here I am at the end of 10,000 miles and I want another Tucker saddle. It's light durable and beautiful. I hope it's on Essie for another 10,000 miles. It's my chair, it's my bed, it's an intimate part of my life. It takes abuse. If I can take the abuse of long riding, it can take the abuse of weekend rides." – Bernice Ende

The "Right" Way to Birth
Have you ever told someone about a decision you made and the response you received was, shall we say, less than supportive? Perhaps you heard, "Well, if you ask my opinion…" or "That's not how I would have done it." Maybe you even got an incredulous look, jaw drop, or eye rolls.
That is bad enough with minor issues or decisions, but when it comes to something like your pregnancy, delivery, or parenting, it can cut you to your core! For the most part, an expectant couple is going to have very strong feelings about the choices they make regarding their child. They may research, take cues from their healthcare provider, or even just follow their intuition. However they came to their decision, they certainly don't want others to judge or belittle them.

It has also been great to take some time to mentally recover after leaving my job in Canberra. The nature of the work I was doing and the general mood of the place was really affecting my outlook. There was a lot of negativity and hostility around, and you'd find yourself being snarky and pessimistic for little or no reason, and usually directing it to your friends and family who least deserved it. Having a week away from that environment has been reassuring in that I'm already feeling more energised and positive. I'm going to need all that energy to succeed in the USA, though in itself, the prospect of working hard, learning new things and meeting new people is energising.
That said, I'm still not feeling "excited" in the conventional sense, possibly because there has been so much to do in preparation, but more probably because I'm yet to believe that it is actually happening until I'm on my way. When I moved to Germany in 2004 to study, the excitement didn't really kick in until I walked through the entrance to passport control at Sydney Airport. It's like a point of no return. I'm figuring that same thing will happen tomorrow when I pass that same place.
Three to five days ahead of travelling, you wake an hour (or 90 minutes) closer to that of the destination timezone, and go to bed an hour closer to bedtime at the destination. By the time you fly over, you should be within a few hours of the timezone of your destination, and ideally you are in the timezone of the destination. When you arrive, you are already adjusted and the effects of jetlag are far less pronounced.
It's extremely easy to do when flying east-west (i.e. Australia to Europe), as this simply means staying up later at night and sleeping in late. It's the best excuse for partying ever. Unfortunately, going the other way (i.e. Australia to the USA) is much more difficult, as it involves getting up earlier and going to bed earlier. This is tricky enough at the best of times, but the combination of a cold winter and the Tour de France has made it virtually impossible this time around. You don't want to get out of bed in the morning, and the Tour is far too compelling to miss (at least for me it is, it has been a July ritual for the past few years to stay up and watch the beautiful French countryside roll by).
The last two days have been complete failures as far as pre-lagging is concerned. Yesterday I set the alarm incorrectly and slept in; today I woke up at the right time (0430), tried to read for half an hour, but slowly drifted back to sleep. The next thing I knew it was 0800. I should have known something was up when I was reading the same sentence over and over again without it sinking in.
Tonight will be a write off as far as pre-lagging is concerned. The combination of the final game of the State of Origin, followed by a hilly time-trial stage in the Tour will make things tricky. It's also the last chance for a while to sit down to a family dinner with my parents and my brother, and I can't pass that up. Jetlag be damned.
In any case, the next post will probably be from Dallas. See you on the other side of the world. :)

Part 3
In the first two parts of this study, we saw the Bible as a timeless, truthful, treasured book, a living book because the Creator of the universe literally breathed out the Word of God. If you missed these studies, check out the article archives.
We saw that it must be assimilated—taken into your mind, understood, and provided as nourishment for your soul and spirit. How do you do that? First by praying, asking God to be your teacher, then by meditating.

Theoretical physics unveils one of the most ubiquitous and elusive concepts in chemistry
01 July 2019
A new SISSA study published in Nature Physics
Even if we study them at school, oxidation numbers have so far eluded any rigorous quantum mechanical definition. A new SISSA study, published in Nature Physics, reverses this state of affairs by providing such a definition, based on the theory of topological quantum numbers, which was honoured with the 2016 Nobel prize in Physics awarded to Thouless, Haldane and Kosterlitz. This result, combined with recent advances in the theory of transport achieved at SISSA, paves the way to an accurate, yet tractable, numerical simulation of a broad class of materials that are important in energy-related technologies and planetary sciences.

Christopher Painter, the State Department's coordinator for cyber issues, has called for international standards to govern cyber conduct and said what could be acceptable to some may not be so for the majority.
According to Fierce Government IT, Painter told a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on Thursday he believes the State Department has a key role in setting out norms of acceptable conduct.
A number of nations have already started to draft cyberspace strategies, he said, according to Molly Bernhart Walker's story.
"In the international strategy we have a deterrence policy there," Painter said, adding diplomacy is one of several tools the department will use.
According to Fierce, Painter also said many cyber threats come in the form of intellectual property theft and the department is speaking with both suspect countries and allies.
"I think it's not that it's cyber warfare but that is something that I think is clearly damaging the American economy," Painter said, according to the report.

Julia Silge, a 38-year-old, from Utah, wanted to let her voice heard about President Trump's nominee for education secretary, Betsy DeVos, DeVos's final Senate confirmation hearing tomorrow.
DeVos's final Senate confirmation hearing is tomorrow.
For weeks, Silge had tried dialing the Salt Lake City office of Sen. Orrin G. Hatch, without any response from the office. After trying multiple times, Silge thought of a creative way to reach her senator. A Pizza!
A ham and pineapple pizza delivered straight to the office of her senator with a note. The note says:
"From a Salt Lake constituent in 84105: Please vote NO on Betsy DeVos. She is an inappropriate choice to lead our public schools."
Silge tweeted the whole part online.
My senator's local office is not answering his phone, and his voicemail seems to be full. pic.twitter.com/WGbvAYlSw0
— Julia Silge (@juliasilge) January 30, 2017
Without much of a surprise, the pizza wasn't accepted by the office. She did get a call from the security office of the senator!
Guess she learned her lesson.
AN UPDATE: I later received a call from security at the SLC federal office building, so maybe think twice about this approach. pic.twitter.com/nJ8cCDX1sl

Dating Horoscope Pisces (02/21 - 03/20)
Dating a Pisces Man
Dating a Pisces man is a dream come true for all of you girly-girls who love romance and all things emotional! Pisces men are romantic and emotional creatures who crave true love like no other sign. They are sensitive and compassionate and long for a true connection & a soul mate. To win him over you need to be sweet and forthcoming with your feelings and make sure he knows that you feel things for him that you never dreamed possible.
This is someone who can read you like a book without your ever having to say a word because he is very intone with others. Pisces men are philosophical and creative and very sensitive. This can be really appealing to some but prove a bit much for others because this much sensitivity often means having to tread carefully to not hurt his feelings which just turns him against you without warning.
If you find yourself truly caring for him when dating a Pisces man, then you could be in for the romance of your life, but if you're not sure how you feel, then you may want to get out before he senses it to avoid making an enemy.
Dating a Pisces Woman
Just like the male Pisces; she is sensitive, caring and romantic. You'll do best with her if you yourself are a kind man who knows how to treat a woman delicately since her feelings are easily hurt. She needs someone who will appreciate the fact that she is selfless and will put the needs of others before her own. If you like truly sweet girls, then dating a Pisces woman will definitely be your cup of tea.
Pisces women are generally turned off by men who come on too strong or are overtly sexual or crude, so be on your best behavior if you want to win her over. She may seem too good to be true at times because of her kindness and devotion, but know that it is all genuine & she is a good girl!
You'll do best by taking her to romantic and intimate restaurants or for walks in the park since it will cater to her hopeless-romantic side. Choose your words with her carefully to avoid any upset and be gentle in all you do with her; unless she says otherwise. If you're a genuinely good guy; it won't be long before she realizes it which will make dating the Pisces woman a breeze.

Description: "The Day He Was Gone" by Anjum Awasthi Malik is combo of Fiction, Thriller and Mystery, the book is a revetting encounter of love, fate, and hope against revenge, mystery and haunting pasts.
Overview /My Opinions : The story is narrated in two timelines present and past. Past events are narrated in the form of a diary. Somehow the narration in the diary relates to the story of the main characters which unfolds in the latter part of the story.
The moment you start falling in love with the character, there's a certain twist in the plot which makes you doubt about your choice but there comes another twist which again makes you fall in love. The book is like a quick bite since you can finish reading it on the go. The name chosen is perfect since it compels you to read it as soon as you lay your eyes on it. I personally felt the ending was satisfying. I would recommend it as a one-time read.
My Rating 3.6

The Nuestra Señora de la Asunción Cathedral stays from the early 20th century in the same place where other temples stood before since the 16th century. However, the repeated assaults of the pirates, the weather and the earthquakes destroyed the previous buildings.
The first built church in 1528, was oriented from east to west and surrounded by some houses. It was sacked by pirates and corsairs a few times during the 16th century and repaired in the 17th century. However, in 1662 the church was sacked again and burnt by pirate Henry Morgan. As the damages were too important, a new one was raised in the same place, but it suffered the same problems with the important hurricanes and earthquakes during the rest of the 17th century. The third cathedral collapsed as well due to an earthquake on the 11th of June, 1766, leaving its place to the fourth and last temple still in operation.
The new cathedral was oriented from North to South and was constituted by five halls in a surface of 2,115 m2 as a whole. In 1852, an earthquake destroyed the lateral halls, the half orange roof and the towers, but all the damages were repaired and, in 1874, the clock was placed in the highest place of the city.
See the two Neoclassic towers located to both sides of the facade and the magnificent archangel with his open wings and the trumpets.
Inside, you can see the famous Cruz de la Parra, that is thought to be the only material evidence of Cristobal Columbus arriving to the island. Besides, you will see the beautiful frescos that decorate the church and a handy carved choir stall. The High Altar is dedicated to the Virgin of the Charity, and the whole place is well illuminated when the doors are open during every religious service.
You can visit too the Archdiocesan Museum located next to the cathedral and see the valuable objects that are exhibited there. You can also reach the Museum of the Historical Cuban Atmosphere just crossing the Céspedes Park.
