Delacorte Books for Young Readers | Feb 14, 2012 | 272 Pages | Middle Grade (10 and up) | ISBN 9780375899416
Down-to-earth Zeeta and her flighty mom, Layla, have spent years traveling the globe and soaking up everything each new culture has to offer. Now they've settled in the beachside town of Mazunte, Mexico, where Zeeta's true love, Wendell, has an internship photographing rare sea turtles. At first glance, Zeeta feels sure that Mazunte is paradise—she envisions dips in jade waters, sunsets over sea cliffs, moonlit walks in the surf. And she is determined to make Mazunte her home . . . for good. But as she and Wendell dig deeper to unearth her elusive father's past, Zeeta finds that paradise has its dark side.From the Hardcover edition.
Years ago, while I was teaching English in Mexico and backpacking around Latin America on vacations, I thought, 'Hey, wouldn't it be cool if I spent my whole life traveling around from one country to another?' I loved the idea… More about Laura Resau

While I still have not had the time to read the book (sorry Rob :-) I
would guess that Johannes means that feedback is integral in the XP
process: from the fine-grained feedback you get during TDD, the
continual feedback you get from having an onsite customer, the feedback
from regular iterations and releases, etc. With some more traditional
processes the feedback is separate from the development (now we do the
development, throw the application over the wall to QA, QA do some
testing, feedback eventually comes back to the developers - usually by
the time that they're working on the next bit).
More feedback and tighter feedback loops are one of the main reasons
that XP works so well in my experience.

It looks like Chelsea could finally get their man after chasing Wigan Athletic star Victor Moses for the past few months. Chelsea have been trying to sign Victor Moses all summer and it appears that they have finally agreed on a fee for the Nigerian international.
It has been reported that Wigan have accepted an offer of £9m from Chelsea for Victor Moses and it is believed that the deal could be complete in the next few days. Chelsea have previously had four bids rejected for the 21 year old but it has now been confirmed that a price has been agreed.
A club statement read, "The club can confirm that after four unsuccessful bids from Chelsea for Victor Moses, a fifth bid has today finally met the valuation and terms set by Wigan Athletic and been accepted."
Victor Moses will become the latest young star to join Chelsea this summer following the arrival of Belgian international Eden Hazard and Brazilian midfielder Oscar. The deal could see Wigan spend a large chunk of the transfer fee on bringing in at least one more new face before the transfer window closes at the end of the month.

'Whale Wars: Viking Shores' trailer released
Here's your first look at Animal Planet's new spin-off series coming later this month.
Mon, Apr 02, 2012 at 02:50 PM
Photo: Sea Shepherd Conservation Society
While the start to Animal Planet's "Whale Wars" series has generally coincided with the beginning of summer, fans of the show are getting an early treat this year in the form of the new spin-off: "Whale Wars: Viking Shores."
The five one-hour episodes kick off on April 27, taking viewers from the cold waters of the Southern Ocean to the picturesque seaside towns of the Faeroe Islands.
"There is only one thing wrong, only one blemish on this almost perfect society and that is this gross obscenity they call Grindadráp," wrote Capt. Paul Watson last summer. "It simply has no place in the 21st century, no place in a civilized world. It is offensive to people worldwide. It is cruel, unnecessary, ecologically destructive and obscene."
The cruelty touched upon by Watson, who founded the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, is the violent annual killing of almost 1,000 pilot whales. As they continue to do with the original "Whale Wars," Animal Planet's camera crew will present the Sea Shepherd and their efforts to curb the slaughter.
"With over 20 killing beaches spread across 18 islands, stopping this hunt won't be easy," the network says. "For the first time in the history of the 'Whale Wars' saga, the Sea Shepherds are not only at sea but also deploying a covert team to patrol the streets, interact with locals and carry out undercover missions."
Take a look at the new trailer for the series below.

Last name: Fish
This interesting surname is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and derives from the Middle English (1200 - 1500) "fische" or "fish", itself coming from the Olde English pre 7th century "fisc" meaning a fish. "Fisc" occurs as a personal name in the Domesday Book for Norfolk of 1086. The surname is first recorded at the beginning of the 13th Century (see below), and it is a metonymic occupational name for a catcher or seller of fish. Job descriptive surnames originally denoted the actual occupation of the namebearer, and later became hereditary. One Daniel Fisc appears in the Calendar Rolls of Suffolk, dated 1208, and a Robert Fisk in the 1230 Pipe Rolls of Northumberland. In the 14th Century the name was normally written with the preceding article "le" meaning "the", for example, Robert le Fissh of Somerset (1327). On April 27th 1635, one Christopher Fish embarked from London on the ship "Ann and Elizabeth", bound for the Barbados, "Hotten's Records". The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Ernis Fish, which was dated 1202, witness in the "Assize Court Rolls of Lincolnshire", during the reign of King John, known as "Lackland", 1199 - 1216. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.© Copyright: Name Origin Research www.surnamedb.com 1980 - 2015

The family Fisk/ Fiske appear in the domesday book from Laxfield, Suffolk. They had been in Suffolk 200 or so years before the Norman conquest which puts them firmly into Danelaw, (Fisk is still Danish for Fish, Fiske(r) fisherman. Fisc came about as the monks used latin to record names. Phonetically these are similar but the meaning of fisc is monetary.
Fish and the softening of the 'k'came about during Henry VIII' s reign in order to standardise the language in his kingdom.
Fisk(e) have their own coat of arms, inferred by Henry IV, confirmed 5 kings later by Charles I.

Urgent Need for Blood Donors
Southern Blood Services Region
The American Red Cross Southern Blood Services Region issued an urgent call for blood donors on Aug. 22, 2010.
The Red Cross closely monitors national and local blood supplies to ensure donations are keeping pace with hospital need for blood products in order to meet ongoing and emergency patient care.
"There is a critical need for blood donors now," said Randy Edwards, CEO for the Southern Blood Services Region of the Red Cross. "This summer we have had a particularly difficult time recruiting enough blood donors to meet the requirements of our community's hospitals and the patients they serve."
Meeting this need is particularly challenging now since the extremely high temperatures are keeping donors inside, most schools are not in session to hold blood drives and we are experiencing a high number of donors who are unable to keep their appointments.
Donors with all blood types are needed, but especially those with type O negative. Red Cross officials say type O negative donors can make the difference between an adequate blood supply and a shortage. That's because type O negative blood can be transfused to patients with any blood type, and is most readily given to patients in emergency and trauma situations.
Every day, more than 39,000 pints of blood are needed for patients in the United States. Blood is used for the treatment of cancer patients, people with blood disorders, premature babies, transplant recipients, trauma victims and more. Each whole blood donation can help save up to three lives.
"We urge people to make and keep an appointment to donate blood now," said Edwards. "Chances are, someone is counting on you right now for their very life."
How to Donate Blood
To schedule an appointment to donate please call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org for more information. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states), meet weight and height requirements (110 pounds or more, depending on their height) and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. Please bring your Red Cross blood donor card or other form of positive ID when you come to donate.
About the American Red Cross
The Southern Blood Services Region serves over 160 counties and needs to collect 1,200 units of blood a day to meet patient need in more than 120 hospitals. In addition to supplying nearly half of the nation's blood, the American Red Cross teaches lifesaving skills, provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a charitable organization—not a government agency—and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

Abandoned Canadian Open-Pit Mine Could Be Turned Into 400 Megawatt Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Plant
Posted By Beth Buczynski On February 21, 2013 @ 11:32 am In News,Renewable Energy | 2 Comments
Hydroelectric power can be a very efficient way to produce or augment renewable energy. But if you don't have a nearby river that's big enough to dam—that's where pumped storage comes in. Using the power of gravity and a reversible turbine, Toronto's Northland power wants to convert an old open-pit iron ore mine [2] in Marmora, Ontario, into a waterfall five times the height of Niagara Falls. Water spilling over the new waterfall could generate 400-megawatts of power and allow customers to take advantage of peak-time power prices when demand is high and local wind turbines typically are less active.
In a conventional hydropower plant [4], the water from the reservoir flows through the plant, exits and is carried down stream. Instead of merely being a checkpoint on the water's journey, a pumped storage hydroelectric plant has an upper and lower reservoir Water from the upper reservoir flow through the plant to generate electricity. Upon exiting, however the water falls into the lower reservoir where a reversible turbine can pump it back up to the surface to be recycled.
The upper reservoir will be constructed using rock from the waste rock pile, then lined with gravel and an impervious liner, such as asphalt. Monitoring drains will check around the clock for any seepage from the upper reservoir. If seepage is detected, the upper reservoir can be rapidly emptied into the lower reservoir (the existing open pit) from which it cannot go anywhere
As the Globe and Mail explains [5], "To operate the plant, Northland plans to purchase electricity from Ontario's grid at night when prices are low and use it to pump water from the mine pit up to a newly constructed reservoir. During the day, the company would release the water for a 258-metre plunge to a powerhouse." This would help take some of the burden off of wind power plants until a viable grid storage system is perfected, and wind energy captured at night can be properly store for use during the day.

Miami vs. Brooklyn, 05/12/2014 20:00 Point Spread: -2½/-103 Miami Miami Heat -2.5 I thought the Heat would drop one game in this series and now they have. Surprisingly even though they lost convincingly they are even bigger favourites than they were in G3. The only explanation can be that oddsmakers knew there would be a lot of interest in the home side over the weekend. It would have been pretty hard to ignore Miami at -1 and I think they are the play in G4 at -2.5. Good Luck, Razor Ray. 5* FREE NBA Play 58-49-8 MLB Picks Run, MLB Picks (+3667) 364-294 L658 55%.

Traveler, food lover, and runner. I've visited over 35 countries and counting and that remains my primary occupation... my job fills the time in between
Zahy has completed online and offline ID verification.
El apartamento está situado en una zona muy activa, cerca del bullicio de Chinatown y Little Italy, pero tranquila para descansar por las noches. Dispone de buenos restaurantes alrededor, tiendas y supermercados. Se trata de una zona bien comunicada en metro ya que se encuentra a mitad de camino del downtown y el distrito financiero. Hay metros con mucha frequencia y se tarda unos 10 minutos a las dos destinaciones mencionadas. El apartamento da a una terraza interior compartida, está bien equipado y es cálido en invierno.
This was our first Airbnb experience and Zahy was a great host. Although he could not welcome us when we arrived, he made sure we were all sorted. We met him later in the week and he was very friendly, he even sorted out our taxi for our flight back!
Zahy is a great guy and has a beautiful place in my favorite neighborhood in NYC. Everything was as described, clean, functional and comfy. Thanks!
Zahy is an excellent host and has helpful tips and suggestions. The location of the apartment is wonderful and very peaceful. I'd definitely stay there again.
Stayed for 3 days at Zahy's place. Elias (roommate) is a great guy and it was really easy to coordinate and also stay extended hours (i.e. leave my bags there until I had to leave for the airport). The apartment is in an amazing location with great restaurants, bars, shopping and even a Whole Foods two blocks away. It is a really nice apartment with a nice patio. The room has its own private bathroom which is really great. Only thing to improve is cleanliness a bit but its not bad (a 4 out of 5 for this part). Would highly recommend staying here.
Experience with Zahy was superb from start to finish! Very quick with responses and ensuring that we had a smooth transaction. The location was prime, right in the heart of SoHo with bars, restaurants, shopping, and subway lines in every direction. The room itself was very clean and large with a private washroom!! The living space and kitchen is large and very comfortable as well. His roommate Elias was really helpful and accommodating, always making sure we were comfortable at all times. Also provided great tips for the city! Look no further, this is where you wanna be!
Zahy's room and bathroom was clean & tidy, sheets and towels were washed. (u can't see the bathroom on the photo, but its really nice!!) The apartment in general was nice and clean. theres a nice patio with a bbq. the wifi in the apt works really good we didn't meet Zahy, but he arranged to get the keys from his roommate and he asked if everything was ok and offered help / advice if we need anything. the neighborhood, which is soho, is awesome. lots of little restaurants, bars, coffeeshops. broadway, for shopping, is 5 walking minutes away. the only "bad" thing was that the AC was kinda loud. so in our case we turned it off when we went to bed but than woke up in the night as it was too hot. so we had to turn it on and off the whole time. but that might not even bother someone else. i'm just very sensitive when it comes to noise. anyhow, all in all the stay was GREAT, i can RECOMMEND it!! :-)
L'appartamento è molto comodo con la metro che si raggiunge facilmente a piedi e ha l'aspetto positivo del bagno privato che mi ha spinto a sceglierlo tra gli altri. Il padrone di casa è molto gentile però devo proprio ammettere che le condizioni in cui abbiamo trovato la stanza erano pessime: le lenzuola erano usate e puzzolenti, il pavimento era pieno di peli e il bagno era in pessimo (email hidden)a tutto sporco e addirittura c'erano le mutande sporche a terra...terribile! Una volta fatto notare al proprietario, ha finalmente pulito...credo che però avrebbe dovuto farlo prima del nostro arrivo, è una questione di rispetto!
Zahy was a pleasure to host and we would welcome him back!
It was a great host. I really recommend him. From the first moment we established a very good communication and they were always trying to be the perfect guests. We had an amazing experience and hope having him again in our apartments.

Dollar Tree
I used to be able to find drug store brand make up items at the the Dollar Tree. My favorite items were the Sally Hensen Lip Butters...I would also find brand like Revlon, CoverGirl, Almay, Maybelline. Now my local dollar tree doesnt have any of these brands. So my questions are, Do you find good beauty products at your local Dollar Tree? Whats your favorite product that you have found at the Dollar Tree?
I have 3 Dollar Trees within driving distance of my house. In January I found a lot of Revlon and Loreal lipsticks for a dollar! I bought 11 that day. I also found Almay mascara for a dollar also. It seems since then I have gone back and all I found was Sally Hansen foundation in the wrong shade for my skin.I love the LA colors nailpolish I have one in every color. The only thing that stinks are the cheap foundations that are a dollar they smell like chemicals. I would say it is hit or miss and when you hit pick up as much as you can!

Fairfax, Virginia - Straight from the NRA's Event Marketing and Communications Manager, Nicole McMahon, here are the Friends of NRA banquets coming up in a couple weeks.
At Friends of NRA banquets are full of great people who support the Second Amendment and want to raise money for local, state and national shooting sports programs. Each event is run by our absolutely dedicated volunteers. Without their help, Friends of NRA would not be able to have such reach across the country or make as much of an impact on the future of our shooting sports heritage as we do today.
If you haven't made it to one of our tables yet, fear not. The season is rolling along, but there are plenty of events left.
Check the list below to see if there's an event coming up near you or visit the Friends of NRA website to help plan which banquet(s) you will attend this year.

As we kick started our testing with the custom download file transfer tests this seemed to be very much the case. In fact the extra WD Red hard drives which formed a RAID5 configuration appeared to be putting the larger 4-bay models at an advantage. When moving a single large file the TS-421 was 5% faster than the TS-221, while the TS-420 crushed the TS-220 by a whopping 29% margin.

Wow shame about the upload performance. Did you try with an ssd to see what happened? |

We have tried an SSD, it improved the write (upload) performance by almost 20MB/s in our upload large file test. That's not bad but the trouble is no one uses SSD's in NAS servers. We have thought about doing some SSD testing but the problem is some NAS use 6GB/s SATA and others use 3GB/s, for hard drives this makes next to no difference but for SSD's it makes a huge difference. I supposed we could test with a high-speed 3GB/s SSD but I don't really see the point, as I said no one is going to use SSD's in a NAS. I believe the issue with the TS-421 is firmware related. |

When: Thursday, December 13, 2012 to Friday, December 14, 2012 Where: Merida, Yucatan, Mexico |
North America's ecosystems are under enormous stress—from a changing climate, the pollution emitted into the air and water, and the overconsumption of natural resources. This stress has already made many of our ecosystems vulnerable to irreversible change, with direct impacts on the human communities that depend on those ecosystems.
This workshop will take a close look at what makes ecosystems and our communities vulnerable to a changing environment, and where in North America the threats to them are most extreme. Participants will gain hands-on experience with a range of new tools for assessing vulnerability, mapping environmental changes and stressors, and improving the health of vulnerable human communities.
Working with North American experts and members of the CEC's Joint Public Advisory Committee, they will also identify actions for individuals, communities and governments to improve these tools and their dissemination, especially for the rural and indigenous communities most affected by environmental change.

With holiday-makers settling back into the swing of things, we encourage all those who have travelled to malaria areas to be aware of any potential symptoms. The first symptoms of malaria are non-specific and sudden in onset. Fever and influenza-like symptoms are particularly common presenting symptoms of malaria and influenza is the most common misdiagnosis of malaria.
In adults, headache, rigors with cold shivers and sweating, and myalgia, are common. Some of the following may also occur: fatigue, abdominal discomfort, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, sore throat, and cough.
In young children, rigors, headache would be less common and malaria may present with fever and any of the following: lethargy, poor feeding, vomiting, diarrhoea or cough.
Over the past few months, there has been an increase in laboratory-confirmed (IgM positive) measles cases in five provinces (Gauteng, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, Northern Cape and Western Cape). Sporadic laboratory-confirmed measles cases have been noted in two additional provinces (Eastern Cape and Free State).
All children should be vaccinated at a young age, and the vaccine is included in the South African Expanded Programme on Immunizations (EPI) schedule. The vaccine is given at 9 months and repeated at 18 months of age.
Older children, adolescents and adults may also be vaccinated during outbreaks of measles, particularly if they have a high-risk of developing complications.

Ghanaian supporters obtain visas to support Black Stars at 2013 AFCON
Several Ghanaian football fans have secured visas to travel to South Africa to support the Black Stars at the 2013 Nations Cup.
This means Ghana will not be short on support by the time the tournament kicks off on January 19.
Most of the supporters unions in Ghana have obtained their travelling visas after securing cover letters from the Ministry of Sports.
The supporters presented their completed visa application forms and other vital documents in time to obtain their passes.
"I must say I am very impressed with the Ghanaian supporters, a lot of them have gotten their visas already," Immigration Secretary and Civic Services of the South African High Commission, Jacqueline Kruger told reporters at a Ghana FA's pre-Nations Cup seminar.
"We are still attending to some so I therefore urge others who intend travelling to South Africa to present their completed application forms and other requirements well in time for us to properly attend to them."
The situation is a whole lot different from what prevailed in the last edition of the AFCON hosted in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
There, supporters and journalists were in a last minute scramble to obtain visas upon arrival since there was no Gabonese embassy in Ghana.
The boosted support will be crucial in propelling the Black Stars to Nations Cup glory in South Africa after 31-years of disappointment.

Don Fontana
This article relies largely or entirely upon a single source. (August 2011) |
Donald ("Don") Fontana (born 1 January 1931 in Toronto) is a former top-ranking Canadian tennis player from the 1950s and 1960s.
Fontana was the year-ending number two ranked Canadian player six times, three times in the 1950s and three more in the 1960s. He was ranked in the Canadian top-ten five more times. He won the Canadian Open doubles championship three times, in 1955, 1957, and 1959 with compatriot Robert Bedard, and was a runner-up four more times.
Don won the Ontario Open singles tennis championship twice, in 1956 and 1957. He was a Pan American Games competitor twice, in 1959 and 1963.
Fontana represented Canada in Davis Cup eight times from 1955 to 1963 and had a career win-lose record of 7 and 15, 4 and 8 in singles and 3 and 7 in doubles. He was Canadian Davis Cup captain five times between 1963 and 1976.
Fontana was tournament director of the Canadian Open in 1959 and from 1971 to 1978. He was also a long-time tennis TV analyst for CTV's coverage of the Canadian Open.
Don was inducted into the Tennis Canada Hall of Fame in 2000.
Fontana is also one of the last people to have ever played tennis with the legendary Bill Tilden. According to Frank Deford's authoritative biography of Tilden, Big Bill Tilden, at pp. 273-74, in 1953 Fontana and Bedard, while on tennis scholarships at UCLA, were invited by Tilden to play tennis with him and Tilden's protegé Art Anderson on Charlie Chaplin's tennis court in Los Angeles in a mock-Davis Cup format of the U.S. versus Canada (the Canadians won both the first two singles and the doubles for an insurmountable 3-0 lead). Tilden, age 60 then, was found dead in his apartment a few days later on the eve of his proposed departure for the U.S. Pro Championships in Cleveland, Ohio.
