Decades ago it was exceptional for any musicians, other than those under the auspices of the BBC, to be assured of financial help from employers should there be anything wrong with a player's health, however trivial it might seem to those outside our rarified profession.
Seemingly straightforward everyday knocks and scrapes can create deep anxiety for a musician, ranging from a less than confident performance to true musical incapacity. A rose thorn in the finger of a gardening string-player, a pulled tendon in a hand, unexpectedly fuzzy hearing, an unforeseen wrenched or aching shoulder, ouch . . . a bitten lip, teeth a bit sensitive today, eye tests . . . new specs, any of these could indicate days, or weeks off work for specific musicians.The show must go on!
This is why your musicians looks for financial help when disaster strikes. There is private medicine available which cuts down NHS waiting times and gives access to specialists in every field of the medical profession of course, but this usually comes at a cost far beyond an orchestral musician's budget. Honorary medical advisers generously give of their time and as regular concert goers sympathise and understand what are so often unique health problems.
Our reliable annual financial boost is the CBSO Benevolent Fund Concert, the first of which was generously conducted for free by George Weldon in May 1946. Retired staff and players are always welcome guests on these occasions, engendering lots of gossip and memories during the after-concert get-together!
The best and most vital way you can help the musicians of the CBSO is by supporting the orchestra and coming to all our concerts. Some people for whom the CBSO has meant a great deal in their concert-going lives show also their gratitude to the players and staff by leaving a small legacy to the Fund, or by just sending a donation. If you might be one of these people yourself, please get in touch or send a cheque payable to 'CBSO Benevolent Fund' to our Treasurer of the CBSO Benevolent Fund at the CBSO Centre, Berkley Street, Birmingham B1 2LF, or by email directly to ; alternatively, please click the PayPal Donate button below:
(Please note that as a registered friendly society we are unable to access Gift Aid; also note that PayPal charges a small percentage fee for every donation - if you would like to donate a large sum, you might wish to contact our Treasurer directly.)
From the financial point of view, the CBSO Benevolent Fund is completely independent from the CBSO Ltd. Please visit the main CBSO site for information on all other concerts and activities of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.

How to Set Up a Home Bar
Here are some pointers on how to set up your home bar. Whether you are serving guests in your home for a cocktail party, or setting up a bar for wedding guests, these tips will help keep it running smoothly.
How to situate the bar
Keep the bar as far as possible from your food and snacks. Doing so prevents large groups of people from staying in one area. If possible, base a wine and beer bar in one area and a cocktail bar in another.
Cleaning up spills is much easier if the bar is in your kitchen. What's more, you do less running around when you're close to the sink and refrigerator. If you have to set up your bar in another location, put a small mat under and behind the bar to protect the floor or carpet. And no matter where your bar is, use a strong, steady table to avoid tipping.
Serve smartly
Your party will run smoothly and your guests will be happy if you take the following suggestions to heart:
Use nothing larger than a shot glass for shots, and don't serve doubles to your guests. You aren't doing anyone any favors by overserving. If a recipe calls for 1½ oz. of vodka, use just that amount. No mixed drink should exceed 2 oz. of liquor.
Use lower-proof products if they're available.
Have punch available for those "light" drinkers.
Have alcohol-free drinks available, including coffee and tea.
Use only clean, fresh ice and fresh fruit.
If possible, chill glasses and don't put them out until five minutes before the party begins.
When serving hot drinks, make sure that the cups or glasses have handles.
Use a scoop, tongs, or a large spoon to serve ice. Never use your hands.
If you don't have bottle pourers, rub waxed paper over the tip of liquor bottles to prevent dripping.
Use a champagne bucket or any type of small bucket to dump out any extra liquid or ice from your shakers.
Close the bar an hour to an hour and a half before the end of the party.
If possible, hire a professional bartender.

Kerala Finance Minister KM Mani is expected to resign on Tuesday after being convinced by the steering committee of his party, the Kerala Congress (M), which is a constitutent of the ruling United Democratic Front, that he was left with no alternative.
The longest standing Finance Minister in the Kerala government, who has always won from his home constituency of Pala, offered to resign after pressure mounted on him from all quarters to give up his post in the Cabinet.
Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, KPCC president VM Sudheeran and Muslim League leaders had demanded Mani's resignation.
The Opposition Left Democratic Front led by the CPI(M) had also mounted a virulent campaign demanding that he step down.
Mani's decision is expected to be announced soon after a UDF meeting being held at 4pm on Tuesday. The UDF had given a 24-hour deadline to Mani to resign and had stuck by its demand in the face of threats in the morning by the KC(Mani) to withdraw support to the government.
Earlier in the day, former government chief whip PC George, a vehement critic of Mani, resigned as MLA and asked Mani to follow suit.

May 09, 2016 (LBO) – Chamath Palihapitya, the Sri Lankan-born venture capitalist and tech visionary, highlighted several industry trends recently, ranging from Amazon's valuation to funding fallacies in Silicon Valley.
Commenting on climate change, Palihapitiya said humanity had crossed the rubicon, and new technologies will be needed to fix the problem.
"Nothing takes away from great company building. At the end of the day that is still as hard as it has always been," Palihapitiya said, speaking to CNBC.
Venture capitalists in Silicon Valley, with cheap and easy money, had made several bad investments in the recent past and a correction from that trend was now taking place. Silicon Valley is waking up from a funding 'hangover' he said.
Palihapitiya's prediction that Amazon could grow to become a three trillion dollar company in 10 years drew significant interest at the Sohn Investment Conference last week.
According to him, since the launch of the Amazon Web Service (AWS), the e-commerce giant has cut prices once every two months. Amazon introduced 700 features to AWS last year, a 40 percent increase over the prior year.
"When you're doing those two things at same time, what's happening is you're disrupting existing incumbents who have no ability to actually offer the same capability at the same price."
Amazon's cloud threatens to become tech's Wal-Mart, and Palihapitiya said Alphabet's Google Cloud is perhaps the closest competitor with a focus on machine learning capabilities that interest a subset of companies.
Palihapitiya is the CEO of Social Capital, a 1.2 billion dollar fund focusing on early stage investments in education, health care, financial services, and enterprise and consumer segments. He was also a member of the original Facebook team.
"When you see great companies being built, that year over year continue to grow, that can manage their expenses, that recruit great people, that have a really profound mission and values, those companies are always sought after."
A recent trend has been artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, and Palihapitiya believes it should be understood as a way to make life easier, rather than a situation where a computer becomes your friend.
"All this automation and machine learning and AI, that's going into just making your life much easier. That's just the beginning of a big wave that we are going to see."
He is backing the Google Loon project in Sri Lanka which he helped negotiate between Google and the Sri Lankan government. The project is an effort to deploy high-altitude balloons that can bring Internet connectivity to remote areas.
After decades of war between the government and Tamil Tiger separatists, new technologies such as social and new media deployed through greater connectivity are expected to help reconciliation efforts.
Commenting on climate change, Palihapitiya said humanity may have crossed the point of no return, and we will have to explore new technologies to fix the problem.
"We will not be able to take all the carbon in the air out. We have weather patterns we can't predict. We are at the beginning of something I think we have to legitimately think about," he said.

I read Meg Daley Olmert's book Made for Each Other. (I got a copy from the local library, but when I look up the title on Amazon.com, the cover is different. It has a Vizsla on it – go Vizslas! But I digress.) I also read the September (2011) issue of The Whole Dog Journal with an article by CJ Puotinen titled "More Than a Friend."
What do these two things have in common? Olmert's book has a section discussing autism and the article mentioned above also discusses autism. While discussing autism in children, the subject of dogs is bound to come up. In the Whole Dog Journal article, Puotinen discusses how dogs are utilized as both service dogs and therapy dogs for children with autism. According to the article, one of the most widely reported benefits of canine-child interaction is reduced anxiety. The study cited in the article discusses the findings of reduced cortisol in the children with service dogs.
In Olmert's book, she states that researchers suspect a defect in the oxytocin gene or the gene that regulates the oxytocin receptors as part of the cause of autism. An oxytocin deficiency has been linked to some of the physical behaviors and social isolation associated with autism. Olmert believes that part of the reason for the huge increase in autism today – double that of just ten years ago and ten times that of a generation ago – is our increasing distance from animals and nature. Animals have been shown to significantly increase our oxytocin levels – the hormone most well-known for creating bonds between mothers and their babies. Autism, along with other increasing issues in our society, Olmert believes are partially caused by our lack of connection with animals that we once had as primarily hunter/gatherers or farmers.
This all indirectly also relates to my prior career where I was the Controller for Denver Options, a nonprofit organization serving the developmentally disabled in Denver. One of many developmental disabilities they work with is people with autism. Kudos to all those – dogs and humans – who work to help make the lives of those with developmental disabilities better!

The Best Toys for Amazing Clitoral Orgasms
You know all about your clit, right? It's that fingertip-sized pleasure organ at the top of your vulva.
Well, yes and no. The clit you can see is just part of a larger internal structure including the shaft, which extends under the clitoral hood (the fold of skin around it) and into your body. There, it divides into two crura, also called the clitoral legs. Between those are two vestibular bulbs, which sit above and on either side of the vagina.
So, what does that mean for you? It means that there are more ways to have clitoral orgasms than you thought - and ways to make the orgasms you're having even better.
Thrusting (Trust Us)
You've heard of "clitoral orgasms" and "vaginal orgasms." Truth is, it's not that simple. Actually, the thrusting motions you get from, say, intercourse push and pull on the internal clitoris in ways that can feel very, very good.
Want to test that theory? The STRONIC REAL is a hands-free thrusting toy that lets you choose the speed and even the pattern of its pulsation.
Pro tip: Pair the STRONIC REAL with your favorite vibe for an powerful full-clit orgasm.
Now that you know you don't have to touch the head of the clit directly in order to access those delicious nerve endings, see what else works for you! Stroke the shaft, massage the outer labia, circle the vaginal opening, and more.
The VOLTA is your BFF for indirect clit stimulation. The tapping tips boost your sensitivity, and its vibration is strong and deep enough to rumble through your body-this isn't just surface-level stimulation!

Lips ~ Sweetpea & Fay liquid lip in Ukelele and Nordic
Eyeliner ~ Yves Rocher luminelle in Noir
Foundation ~ 17 Skin Perfecting in Soft Ivory
Blusher ~ Bourjois Little Round Pot Blush in Sienna
First of all, excuse my completely out of control eyebrows. They have a tendency to get a bit out of hand. They're not the main focus anyway. After having reviewed Sweetpea & Fay's liquid lipsticks I decided to do a look with them. I loved how the two colours complimented each other and ombre lips are a craze that I am massively late on so the choice was obvious; a pink to blue pastel gradient it was.
I look weird in that first photo and for that I apologise. The glazed eye look is due to the boyfriend's camera equipment. This FOTD is more of a play around as opposed to what I actually wore out. Often when I have nothing to do I'll experiment with different looks and stuff. This is also one of my first cautious forays into blusher. I think next time I try something like this I'd like to do eyes to match, maybe make them odd - one pink one blue or maybe do a gradient on both eyes.
Have you ever tried gradient lips? Even for me it's a bit outlandish in that I'm not sure I'd wear it out, but we'll see, that could change.

Bayesian Networks
Representation of the Joint Probability Distribution
Any complete probabilistic model of a domain must—either explicitly or implicitly—represent the joint probability distribution (JPD), i.e. the probability of every possible event as defined by the combination of the values of all the variables. There are exponentially many such events, yet Bayesian networks achieve compactness by factoring the JPD into local, conditional distributions for each variable given its parents. If xi denotes some value of the variable Xi and pai denotes some set of values for the parents of Xi, then P(xi|pai) denotes this conditional probability distribution. For example, in the graph in Figure 2.4, P(x4|x2,x3) is the probability of Wetness given the values of Sprinkler and Rain. The global semantics of Bayesian networks specifies that the full JPD is given by the product rule (or chain rule):
In our example network, we have:
It becomes clear that the number of parameters grows linearly with the size of the network, i.e. the number of variables, whereas the size of the JPD itself grows exponentially. Given a discrete representation of the CPD with a CPT, the size of a local CPD grows exponentially with the number of parents. Savings can be achieved using compact CPD representations—such as noisy-OR models, trees, or neural networks.
The JPD representation with Bayesian networks also translates into a local semantics, which asserts that each variable is independent of non-descendants in the network given its parents. For example, the parents of X4 in Figure 2.4 are X2 and X3, and they render X4 independent of the remaining non-descendant, X1:
The collection of independence assertions formed in this way suffices to derive the global assertion of the product rule (or chain rule) in (2.2), and vice versa. The local semantics is most useful for constructing Bayesian networks because selecting as parents all the direct causes (or direct relationships) of a given variable invariably satisfies the local conditional independence conditions. The global semantics leads directly to a variety of algorithms for reasoning.

Aurifil Invisible (Monofilament)
1,000 metre spool
100% nylon
Made in Italy
Available in Clear and Smoke
Aurifil's Monofilament Invisible Thread Made in Italy, is made of nylon and available in two colors: smoke (for dark fabrics) and clear (for light fabrics).
It is the perfect choice, whenever the thread or the stitching line should camouflage or needs to be absolutely invisible. Designed to be used when the choice of the right thread color becomes challenging, Aurifil's Monofilament Invisible Thread can be used as a top thread for many quilting applications such as stitch-in-the-ditch, invisible machine applique, outlining, shaping and echoing applique and of course free motion quilting.
Art Quilters will love the camouflage effect, when couching becomes important. The smoothness of the thread also allows its use in needle turn applique or when joining the parts of open seams, that need to be hand stitched to close.
While in many occasions you may want to stay "invisible" with your top thread, the back of your project may not necessitate an invisible thread. Choose a matching color among one of our numerous Aurifil 100% cotton threads – a 50wt is perfect to use as a bobbin thread – and you will see perfect stitch quality on top and on the back of your project. Top tension should be lowered to at least 2,0 on a home sewing machine and as necessary on a long arm. A slightly larger stitch will also guarantee an excellent result.
Although not recommended in the bobbin for best results, invisible thread can be used in the bobbin with some recommendations. The bobbin should be filled at the slowest speed possible and not completely. In case the winding speed cannot be reduced on the machine, the tension of the thread path should be reduced as much as possible when winding, as the invisible thread tends to stretch a bit and will be wound too tight otherwise. Considering a second bobbin case may be a good choice, as the bobbin tension will need to be adapted as well. The original bobbin case can be kept for normal threads and the bobbin tension does not have to be readjusted.
Regardless of fabric type, we recommend using either a 90/14 or 100/16 needle.

Ironing Guide
150 c° – 302 F° Optimum Temperature. While protecting your stitches from the hot plate with a cloth.
160 c° – 320 F° At this temperature the thread will start to shrink by 2%
+240 c° – 464 F° At this temperature the thread will start to melt
Water Soluble thread
130 metre spool
Suggested Uses:
Temporary machine basting
Machine Trapunto
Wash thread away in cold to lukewarm water when project is finished.

The notion "I Need You" is an oft-repeated theme in pop music. I believe that each of these 5 songs (not covers of the same song; each is unique!) were either in my or my brother's record collection when we were kids. I happen to like them all, which makes it hard to rate them, but here goes:
Number 5 - The Beatles
Number 4 - America
Number 3 - Paul Revere & the Raiders
Number 2 - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Number 1 - The Who
If any reader cares to make me aware of glaring omissions (perhaps more modern ones?) from this list, please feel free to do so!

each summer i organize and teach the microsoft research data science summer school, an eight-week hands-on introduction to data science for college students in the New York City area to promote diversity in computer science.
i'm currently teaching modeling social data (apam e4990) in columbia's applied mathematics department (spring of 2019). i've taught this course in 2017 and 2015 as well.
i co-taught computational social science (apam e4990) in columbia's applied mathematics department in the spring of 2013.
i taught data-driven modeling (apam e4990) in columbia's applied mathematics department in the spring of 2012, a course on data mining and applied machine learning. see the current course site and related code for more information.
i originally designed and taught this class in the fall of 2009.
"simple math for a complex world: random walks in biology and finance": see slides, notes, and movies; see matlab code below for diffusion and random walk demos
i gave a (rather impromptu) tutorial on machine learning at the 2007 boulder summer school for condensed matter and materials physics. the slides and associated demos are availble for download at the school's google group.
i'm lucky enough to have taught a biological physics course for
columbia's saturday morning
science honors program
for high school students. more material to come in the future,
but here are a few things:
some questions given out on the first day of class
matlab code for a 1-d diffusion demo
matlab code for a 1-d random walk demo
homework solution, derivation of the gaussian approximation to the binomial
after surviving columbia's qualifying exam i decided to
organize a prep course for first year grad students
in columbia's physics phd program. the the result was a
(hopefully useful) set of problems that were
discussed by each week.
here's the old version of the quals prep site that has some study guides and references listed. also, here are some (mostly stolen) example problems for the electricity and magnetism, modern physics, mechanics, and general physics sections of the exam.
note: columbia's quals are undergrad level.

ATR .92 Balanced 53%
I continue to say "Major resistance is the long term downtrend line near 86.00. Support is the bracket line (green) near 84.32, and then the gaps at 83.27 and at 82.17".
Notice how I use the open outcry chart to locate gaps, but I do my numbers for the electronic market as always. Open outcry is where I find the major players doing business.
In my daily numbers on Thursday; my pivot acted as resistance and was .32 from the actual high, my pivot also acted as support and was .37 from the actual low. Market is looking for direction rotating at the pivot.
Cattle: I have the same thoughts as before as to future direction. Green bracket line supports, and the downtrend line (red) resists.
Commentary for 12/24/09
Cattle: Accurate numbers. Bulls are not dead yet. Red downtrend line is resistance, and green uptrend line supports. I could trade either line using a stop to protect.
Commentary for 12/23/09
Cattle: Accurate numbers, but more important was the trade idea to sell near the downtrend line, which was rewarded nicely again. Little risk if wrong and stopped out, great location for a good reward if right.
Bulls must hold this level to form the lower part of a right shoulder to set up a possible head and shoulder bottom. Bulls still have to prove their case to me; I want to continue to sell rallies at resistance.
Commentary for 12/22/09
Cattle: Accurate numbers. I have the same thoughts as yesterday
Commentary for 12/21/09
Cattle: Spot on numbers! My idea of selling near resistance risking .32 to make .65 worked in the morning, but the resell at resistance late in the day only produced a .42 break. There was never any pain in either sell because the rejection at resistance was quick both times. Bulls held exactly above the steep downtrend line and I think the chart wants to test the crisscross above at 86.27 next (as long as my first support holds early this week). I want to be a seller there and risk .40 to make 1.20.
Commentary for 12/18/09
Cattle: Spot on numbers! Chart is catching its breath before attempting an assault on the downtrend line. I would sell near first resistance risking .32 looking to make .65 on a day trade. Long term bulls should have a stop just below the first support, and bears should throw in the towel above 86.27.

I had no idea that I was so far behind in posting already. The birthday/holiday week threw me off completely. I am realizing now that we never made a complete meal all week (except for the birthday party, but that is not worth posting here!). We traveled a bit and were at a few engagements where we only needed to supply sides.
Salad (leaf lettuce mix)
Homemade Dressing (Week 1)
Chia seeds
Side (broccoli, garlic scapes, onions)
Chopped broccoli in the Ninja blender. Added coconut oil, curry powder, cayenne pepper, ginger, garlic scapes, onions, soy sauce, salt. Cooked in a fry pan.
Side 2 (snow peas)
Rinsed and prepped snow peas. Heated olive oil in fry pan and added snow peas. Cooked until nicely green. Tossed with Sala Roma - our favorite seasoning mix from Italia. The kids ate these like they were candy! I love it when we find a way to serve them vegetables and have them eat like that!
*Radishes, turnips, asian greens and goat cheese were used in the following week.
The only thing worth sharing from the 6 year old birthday party is the Pokemon Pikachu Fruit Salad (pineapple, strawberries, mulberries):

One of the works in the show I'm dancing in uses Ed Sheeran's Give Me Love as its music. The concept of the dance doesn't exactly mirror the lyrics of the song, so it didn't hit me till tonight's show what it was about. The thing about mourning is it's just so heavy and unbearable that sometimes you want to just feel something else. Anything else. Go completely out of the mourning and be happy for a change.
I have been working so hard at being happy. These days have been easier because I'm dancing in a show, and dancing has been my drugs (context: Courtney Love). But I'm not really happy, not completely, not the way I used to be. And sometimes I just really wish I was. Because being sad really sucks.
So although I was having an awesome post-performance high, by the time they were dancing to Give Me Love, I was sitting in the wings, feeling very lost.
Before the show, Poh Gee asked us all to say our own little prayer in a moment of silence. Back home, I would be appointed prayer leader during green room, to my siblings' chagrin as I'm not very religious. (But I do compose a great pre-show prayer.) I liked how, in this country of plural races and plural religions, we were given a moment of silence instead of a communal prayer. Instead of praying (like I said, I wasn't that religious), I asked Mikah to watch me dance. It was something like a prayer, after all.
I have a new mantra, though. It's from the same song, but I'm not singing the rest of it. "Give a little time for me to turn this around." Don't give me love, yet. Not just yet.
It may take a while. But I'll get there.

11 days – 1730 km: from Lucknow (India) to Lucknow (India)
Day 1: Arrival, The Charming Thamel and a Briefing
When you arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, we meet you moment you step out of Airport. We'll whisk you away to an excellent hotel with a bit of a comfort and luxury. After some rest you'll wander through a labyrinth of small shops and brightly-colored buildings . Its full of local art and artefact and that for you is the tourist hub of Kathmandu – the Thamel. Take in a massage, pick up a cashmere scarf, or dine at one of the many Nepali restaurants. In the evening would be your preparations for Pokhara and a briefing on the ride plan.
Day 2: Ride to Pokhara
Pokhara is known to be the most serene city in Nepal and you'll see why? It is a 6 hours drive from Kathmandu with some amazing views along the way. We would check-in into our hotel in Pokhara for a brief rest before setting out to see what Pokhara has to offer. You have some more briefings lined up, some motorcycle introductions and gearing up. Time permitting we would attempt a short ride around the city to get you familiarised with your bikes. Don't worry, you would return back to Pokhara again, if you missed on something.
Day 3: Ride to Kalopani
A relatively long ride up the Himalayas, today we gain an altitude of about 3000m. We will cross the Buddhist towns, monasteries and see the landscapes change dramatically. Its truly a magnificent experience to ride in this part of the world. The road is 65 km black top till Beni and a tough 45 km near off-road gravel ride till Kalopani. This portion of ride will put your biking skills to test.
Day 4: Ride to Kagbeni via Muktinath
We ride out after the breakfast in Kalopani. We ride along Kali Gandaki River with mesmerising views of Annapurna, Nilgiri and Dhaulagiri peaks. We reach Muktinath at an altitude of 3800 m – its a temple of salvation, where we offer our prayers before riding back to Kagbeni for a night halt. Kagbeni is a beautiful Tibetan village, unique in every way. We will spend the morning soaking in the local culture and amazing views that Kagbeni region has to offer.
Day 5: Ride Kagbeni to Ghami
Today is the day we make a transition to the coveted area of Upper Mustang region. As we ride out of Kagbeni Village we would have to go through some inner area permit drills. We continue our ride along Kali Gandaki River and some remote settlements. Our halt today will be at Ghami, yet another unique village in Mustang.
Day 6: Ride from Ghami to Lo- Manthang
This is the day we arrive at our final destination – Lo Manthang – the last Tibetan Forbidden Kingdom. The Tibetan walls, handmade hutments and prayer wheels will become a common sight as we pass Upper Mustang. As we pass through a large village of Charang, we would take a brief halt. On the final leg of ride today, we ascend to Lo–Manthang.
Day 7: Lo Manthang Monasteries
We have been through some tough riding terrain. Today is a day for some much needed rest and relaxation. In the day we will do a short trip to a beautiful local monastery and learn more about Lo and Buddhist cultures. The afternoon is all yours to wander the streets, speak with locals, drink local brewed tea, haggle and buy some souvenirs.
Day 8: Ride to Tibetan Border Kora- la
Today's ride will take us to the highest altitude of our journey as we reach the Tibetan border of Kora la – a high altitude pass. We ride high up on the Tibetan Plateau – a rare opportunity for a rider to come to this gateway to Tibet. It is not an official border crossing point yet. We ride back to Lo Manthang for the night.
Day 9: Ride Lo Manthang to Samar
Its time to bid adieu to Lo Manthang and start our return ride southwards to Pokhara. The vistas of amazing Annapurna, Nilgiri and Dhaulagiri begin to embrace you as we go down the plateau. We arrive at Samar – a quiet village dotted with some ancient ruins and barren hilltops.
Day 10: Ride Samar to Marpha
We continue riding south to the Apple capital of Nepal – Marpha . It's a white walled city which is so inviting to be explored. With some apple brandy to keep you warm, it would be a perfect end to a good riding day.
Day 11: Ride Marpha to Tatopani
The ride goes downhill towards Tatopani. Tato means hot in Nepalese and Pani means water. Today we will quickly lose all the altitude that we gained in so many days. We would descend from 3000m to 1200m when we reach Tatopani. En-route we halt to savor the popular views of Rupche Fall, after Ghasa. We admire beauty of the fall and resume riding along the rugged highland road to Tatopani. As the name suggests, after reaching Tatopani, you deserve a hot water bath in the natural hot springs.
Day 12: Ride Tatopani to Pokhara
When you return to Pokhara – you would have a battle hardened soldier look. Back to the civilisation this is a day to yourself. You rest, savour a few drinks, go for a massage or just flip through the photos and videos of the tour. Once you deposit your bikes, you surely would miss the forbidden lands you have been riding.
DAY 13: Pokhara to Kathmandu
From Pokhara, we drive back to Kathmandu after breakfast. We reach Kathmandu by evening and check into our hotel. Shopping , buying some souvenirs and relaxing should be on the agenda this evening.
Day 14: Say Farewell to Nepal (for now)
After breakfast, you'll be escorted to the airport for your flight back home. While the week may have flown past, but, your memories of this ride will last a lifetime.

Here's a live performance of openly-lesbian singer/songwriter Holly Miranda's "Waves."
Queer music Friday - Holly MirandaFollow alexblaze
Here's a song from her band, with whom she's put out two albums. "Organs on the Kitchen Floor."
I'm a huge Fugees fan, and I love "Ex-Factor" from Lauryn Hill's solo career. This is a great cover, that kept that real NYC flavor in the song.
In her own words, talking with AfterEllen.com, on the inherent lesbian subtext in all her music:
"Usually if I'm writing a love song it's probably about a girl," Miranda said. "That's just me."

We planned to meet them at 6:00PM on Sunday. We weren't really sure where we are going so, after spending the day at Okinawa World, we headed in the direction that we thought it was. Thanks to my amazing iPhone map skills, we found it pretty easily so we ended up being an hour early. We decided to take a drive around so that we weren't so early and at about 5:30 we, again, arrived at their shop.
With that said, their shop is attached to their home. When we got there, I noticed the pictures on one of the doors so I knew we were at the right place. I knocked on the door to the home... no answer. Uh oh! Was something lost in translation? I was a little panicky since I handled the reservation. As I was walking away I noticed a boy running past the window of the house. I hung out and, thank goodness, he came to the door.
Second problem? He couldn't speak an ounce of English and I cannot speak Japanese. Don't fret! He grabbed his tablet and I grabbed my phone. We had an entire conversation about how his parents weren't home, but how we had an appointment without saying a word. We "talked" it out and, eventually, he opened up the shop, brought us tea, and we waited as his parents returned from Temple. Thank goodness for technology!
Jyunko was so fantastic! Her husband doesn't speak English and she was so happy to translate for us. He makes the swords, she does all of the lacquer work. They're like the dream team! Kiyochika got swords out of his safe, one being the very first one that he ever made. He let Mark and Matt hold it (he would have let me, too, but I let the boys enjoy it all), he explained how he made it, and showed how to hold it correctly.
As great as their work is, it's also pricey. The smallest knife, a letter opener, runs around $400. They are AMAZING, don't get me wrong, but they just weren't in our budget at this point. The swords are around $16,000. Yes... I wrote that correctly. We felt terrible for not buying anything after they showed us around for nearly 2 hours, but we just couldn't swing it!
Some of Jyunko's artistic lacquer work.
Kiyochika makes his own charcoal
Yes, that's Kiyochika in a 3 piece suit, standing in a hole to show us some of the steps of how to make a sword. So awesome!
Overall, this was such a great (and unique) find in Okinawa. I don't think that these extremely kind people would ever tell you not to come, but my recommendation would be to only go if you have the intentions of purchasing. This is how they make their money and spending 2+ hours to show us around to have us leave with only a smile was hard, but we just couldn't justify the purchase... and trust me, Mark tried.
Lastly, here's a video of Kiyochika himself. He showed us from the original file on his computer. So cool!!

Bianchi, the first holder of UCLA's Dorothy Meier Chair in Social Equities and a distinguished professor of sociology, was former president of the Population Association of America, editor of the well-respected journal Demography, past chair of the executive committee of the California Center for Population Research at UCLA and former director of the Maryland Population Research Center at the University of Maryland, College Park.
The author of numerous award-winning books and articles, Bianchi is best known for investigating the rapidly evolving ways in which contemporary American women and men juggle the demands of their work and family lives. She studied women's employment, how wives and husbands divide housework and time with children, and how women take care of their children and aging parents.
Until Bianchi's research, social scientists assumed that mothers' involvement in the workplace kept them from home, and that the loss of time with their mother harmed children. Bianchi found that even though mothers' labor-force participation had increased, the time they spent with their children had changed very little. In an attention-grabbing address that she delivered to the Population Association of America in 2000 and in the books and articles she wrote afterwards, Bianchi showed that employed mothers adjusted their work hours, did less housework, slept less and partook in fewer leisure activities in order to be able to spend more time with their children.
At the same time, children's lives also changed, with fewer siblings and more time away from home in preschool and other child-centered activities, so that even mothers who were not employed outside the home spent less time with children because children were busy elsewhere. Bianchi eyed the widespread impact of her findings with a measure of ambivalence.
"My one concern is that I have given the impression that women have found it quite easy to balance increased labor force participation with child rearing, to reduce hours of employment so as to juggle childcare, and to get their husbands more involved in child rearing; and that fathers have found it easy to add more hours with children to those they already commit to supporting children financially," she once said. "I do not think these changes have been easy for American families, particularly for American women.Although the National Cancer Institute has statistics showing that pancreatic cancer is relatively rare in the US, it has the striking property of a very short period of time between diagnosis and death. She will be missed by all of us.

Monitoring Systems
Keep Every Cent – Continually Monitor System Performance
With the decision to install a PV system, your customers also commit to a long-term investment. This means that it is essential that the system function smoothly at all times.
Our products for system monitoring offer you a wide range of possibilities: wireless or Internet-based, compact or complex, concise or elaborate. Regardless of whether you want to monitor the yield of a home roof system or of an open-field solar power station, you will find the perfect solution for every application with SMA Monitoring.
SUNNY BEAM with Bluetooth® Wireless Technology
The all-in-one service package for the home
Informative, compact, and easy to operate: Sunny Beam with Bluetooth doesn't just look good, it's an innovative monitoring solution. The key data is visible on its large graphic display: daily profile, current output, as well as daily and total energy yield. The performance of up to 12 inverters, the monthly overview, the energy yield in euros, and the CO2 savings can all be accessed with one hand. Data for a minimum of 90 days is stored in the device and can be transmitted to a PC via a USB cable – without an Aadditional program. And in the event of errors, the Sunny Beam can also be set up to emit an acoustic signal.
Remote monitoring and maintenance of large solar power plants
System monitoring, remote diagnosis, data storage and visualization: the Sunny WebBox is the high-performance communication hub for medium- to large-scale solar power plants. It continuously collects all the data from the inverters on the system side, thereby keeping you informed of the system's status at any given time. The Sunny WebBox is a multi-functional, energy-efficient data logger which offers a wealth of options for displaying, archiving and processing data, even in networks with strict security regulations. In case of the event "Error", the WebBox informs you immediately by e-mail or text message*. Even from remote locations where no DSL or telephone connection is available, measurement data can be transmitted to the Sunny Portal via a GSM modem.
Professional management, monitoring and presentation of PV systems
Whether for a small home system or a large solar park – central administration and monitoring of several PV plants saves time and money. Plant operators, installers and SMA service technicians have access to key data at any time, from any location. Pre-configured standard pages can be easily customized or supplemented with individually designed pages. Whether as a data table or as a highly configurable diagram: SMA solutions allow almost infinite options for analyzing measured data or visualizing yields. The yields of all inverters in a plant are compared fully automatically, permitting detection of even the smallest deviations. And the powerful reporting functions provide regular updates via E-mail to help insure yields.
More information: www.SunnyPortal.com
The weather station for PV plants
The Sunny SensorBox is installed directly onto the modules and measures the sun radiation and temperature. In combination with Sunny WebBox and Sunny Portal, it provides a continuous target-actual comparison of plant performance. This makes it possible to detect shade, dirt, and gradually declining performance in a generator and thus maximizes yield security. Additional sensor for optional measurement of ambient temperature or wind speed permit more precise calculations.More info at https://solarserdar.wordpress.com
Free design and presentation support
Whether you need data archiving, a visual format to display your energy production or system design support, our software offers a solution. It is suitable for all system sizes, is easy to use, and is configured to work seamlessly with other SMA components.
We gladly provide our software to download free of charge.
The free PC software solution
Switch on your laptop or PC, activate the Bluetooth interface, and start Sunny Explorer – that's all that's needed to give operators and installers an overview of their PV plant. The free PC software is thus the optimum addition to the new generation of inverters with integrated Bluetooth. The key plant data can be visualized on the PC or laptop – quickly and wirelessly with Bluetooth. Energy values and events can be archived long-term by means of data export in CSV format, and processed and visualized in Excel. Sunny Explorer also provides support during inverter parameterization: because no complicated cabling is needed, PV plant maintenance is convenient and fast.
System design made easy
With Sunny Design, the design of solar systems is easier than ever: simply enter all required details and within a few minutes you will receive the optimal system configuration. The free software gives installation engineers and system planners a user-friendly interface, and a practical input wizard helps with any questions. The software delivers data for an economic evaluation of the system along with a technical verification of the various components. Thus, the end customer gains a tailor-made PV system and the installation engineers save valuable time.
FlashviewProfessional plant presentation free of charge
Yields, current output, environmental and ambient data: Flashview presents solar plants on an ordinary display attached to a PC. Different display views either switch automatically or can be manually selected by the viewer. Flashview queries the plant data from Sunny WebBox via an existing network connection – optionally via the Internet from any location in the world. And you can integrate images of your own plant as well as external RSS feeds.
Everything under Control
Sunny Data Control is the ideal addition for system monitoring with Sunny Boy Control and a PC. The free software archives the data from the data logger long-term on the PC, evaluates and presents it visually on the monitor.
A further advantage: Sunny Data Control can be configured to directly communicate with your inverter and a PC. Thus it is possible to set your system's parameters without a data logger.
SMA Solarchecker
– Does Solar Power on My Roof Make Sense?
iPhone-App for estimating the yield of PV plant.
"Is it worth having a photovoltaic plant on my roof?" A question that many home owners are asking themselves. Specialists who own an iPhone 3GS can reply in just a few seconds – thanks to the Solarchecker from SMA. The application for the iPhone estimates the possible current yield of a PV plant in no time at all – directly on site.

Might Giving Mueller Two More Years as FBI Head Be . . . Unconstitutional?
Little objection was raised last month when President Barack Obama decided to extend FBI director Robert Mueller's term for two years after Mueller's 10-year term expires in September.
But while we've heard nary a peep from political partisans, we're starting to hear wait-a-minutes from those who know more about the U.S. Constitution than yes, even your average senator or House member.
On Wednesday morning, as Politico reporter Josh Gerstein noted in this piece, UVA law professor John Harrison testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee that the legislation endorsed by the White House to extend Mueller's term might be . . .

Last week was an exciting one. From the picture above, I guess you're trying to figure out which skill I've taken up again - am I a budding landscaper? A driver? Am I taking up tea-drinking professionally? Or have I been fine-tuning my vocal skills?
Things have been fairly monotonous for a while but all of a sudden, I've found myself with a car and the challenge of getting used to driving again. My parents are generous souls and the little story about how the car came about goes something like this:
/In 2010/
Bee :: Oh cool, I have passed my driving test but I have no car.
Dad :: Don't worry, it's nicer for your Mum and I to give you lifts anyway.
/In 2011/
Bee :: Woooo, I love trains. I don't really need a car... there's no need for one as a student.
Dad :: Phew.
/Early 2012/
Bee :: Ergh, I need a car. I know "need" is a strong word and we have excellent transport links, but yes I NEED a car.
Dad :: Gosh, you whine a lot. Ok, ok, why don't you get on with some job applications for after you graduate and when you get a good one, I'll get you a car?
Bee :: DEAL. (Rushes frantically to a computer and makes self sound amazing and pings application forms off with fingers crossed, dreaming of driving)
/A bit later in 2012/
Bee :: Wow, walking is an actual luxury.
Everyone else :: Come on, crutches!
Dad :: Looks like getting a job is out of the window for a while then... *
/End of summer 2012/
Kind lady on phone :: Congratulations, we'd like to offer you a good job starting in 2014!
Bee :: AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
/A few hours later, on the phone/
Bee :: Daddy, daddy! I did it, I did it!! I got a good job! Wooooooo.
Dad :: BEST DAY EVER.
Little sister in background :: Errr, Dad. Don't mean to burst your bubble but this means you actually have to get her a car now...
Dad :: WORST DAY EVER.
Bee :: Don't worry, I love walking and trains these days. No need for four wheels just yet.
Dad :: Phew.
Bee :: It's vroom vroom year!!!!**
*Probably wasn't his overriding thought at the time, but I'm sure it was lodged in there somewhere...
** I'm not just a spoilt brat... I do actually need a car now for work.
I haven't driven in FOUR years. Flipping flopping oh my goodness, yikes. But for job-related purposes, it has been fairly essential for me to remember how it is done. My Mum braved my first drive with me and I would be fibbing if I said it wasn't hard. I have completely taken it for granted hopping into the car so easily with parents and friends and having them zip me from one side of town to the other, and often further afield. There are so many things to think about and look out for! It's so much easier being the passenger!
I'm sure you're thinking that I'll get used to it and that as so many people drive, it really isn't that big a deal. And I'm certain that you're right. I'm looking forward to the day where it's second nature to me A LOT.
In the meantime, I would love to hear any tips and/or fun car-related stories you may have. Oh, and any suggestions for absolute essentials to keep in the car are warmly welcomed too! (So far, I've listed important documents, a blanket, a first aid kit, CDs, tissues, an ice scraper thingy... what else?)

Nurse call systems have historically used a central server to control and manage system resources. teleCARE IP's unique decentralized architecture shifts control to multiple IP controllers, thus eliminating the central server—and a single point of failure.
Each independent controller communicates, signals and controls the room's activities. This provides a simpler and a safer solution because, unlike older systems with a central server, as long as there is power, your teleCARE IP system will work.
Furthermore, the room controllers can work as wireless receivers as they can integrate into your local area network with or without Power over Ethernet.

Mercedes Benz Car/Truck Body Parts
Mercedes Benz Auto Parts: Using OEM Parts Is Best
Mercedes Benz auto body parts can be purchased for your needs. If you have been involved in a collision or need to repair Mercedes Benz auto parts, you will find them available to you here. When you are making the consideration of which Mercedes Benz exterior auto parts you should select, it is wise for you to invest the time and the effort in learning more about these products first. Which should you go with? Should you choose Mercedes Benz OEM auto parts or should you go with Mercedes Benz aftermarket auto parts? While the choice is yours, there are important considerations to make here.Tempted By Lower Prices?
Are you tempted to purchase the Mercedes Benz aftermarket exterior auto parts because they seem to cost much less? It is true that you can often find these Mercedes Benz Benz auto parts for less, but you may want to take a second look at them. Often time, auto manufacturers have their auto parts built by other companies and then purchase them for their Mercedes Benz Benz autos or for other cars. When you purchase these, OEM auto body parts, you are getting the same quality and precision that you paid for when you purchased your vehicle.
When you decide to go with a Mercedes Benz Benz auto body part that is aftermarket, you are purchasing one that is manufactured by another company that has taken the original part, for example a Mercedes Benz bumper and tried to make it for less and then to sell it to consumers like you. Sometimes, the Mercedes Benz aftermarket bumpers will be worth the cost, sometimes they will not. You simply must do your research when it comes to purchasing after market parts for your Mercedes Benz auto body parts. Many of these auto body parts are of the same quality as OEM.The Mercedes Benz Difference
When purchasing Mercedes Benz parts, you should know several things about them. First, the model name and number if available is quite important. There is a difference, for example, in a Mercedes Benz CLK350 Coupe bumper and a Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren bumper. You will find a difference in the Mercedes Benz SLK350 Roadster headlights and the Mercedes Benz C230 Sport sedan headlights. This information should be readily available to you on your documentation or on your owners manual. You need it when selecting auto parts.
The new line of Mercedes Benz is also quite unique and updated. For example, look at the Mercedes Benz GL class for 2006. The Mercedes Benz GL 450 auto body parts are very unique. The Mercedes Benz GL 450 headlights are quite pronounced and very one of a kind in their shape. The Mercedes Benz GL 450 grilles are also one of a kind. The unique shape of the Mercedes Benz GL 450's doors offer just a bit more sleekness. In each aspect of this vehicle, there is something specific that makes it quite its own.
When purchasing any of the Mercedes Benz auto body parts that you need, you should pay close attention to your investment. Mercedes Benz grilles, Mercedes Benz bumpers, front and back, Mercedes Benz hoods, Mercedes Benz doors, and Mercedes Benz mirrors are all quite different and should be carefully chosen for their quality. If you do decide to go with Mercedes Benz aftermarket products, make sure to choose them with care to insure they can deliver the same quality that the Mercedes Benz OEM auto body parts can deliver. What's a Mercedes Benz without the right Mercedes Benz auto body parts?
