text: I REALLY love this little felted flower brooch I found on sale for $5 from Etsy seller Mountain Goth (even though you can't tell from the pic - must improve self portrait camera technique!). I have been 'teaming' it with my inky blue wool jacket and this combination has provided no end of delight throughout this current flu season which seems to have had me otherwise by the neck these last couple of months. Funny how little things can make a big difference. How colour and texture can lift. I hope not to remember this winter by the illness but instead by this luxury wool combo :)

It's been just over a year since I began this blog. The day I actually broke went unmarked in any calendar because I'm not sure exactly what date I would go from. Breaking happened slowly, me fraying at the edges for two years before I tore apart all at once.
And I have gotten so much better. I get up and go to work, assisting other people. I come home and I work quietly, editing for photographers and carefully correcting colours and clearing newborn skin. I take my children to school and their appointments. I lie beside my small children at night and read them bedtime stories. I go with my lover to lunch and he eats the rest of my salad when I can't finish it. Together we take the children to the beach where my daughter collects and entire basket of shells and we have to convince her to 'leave some for other people'. I buy myself bedside tables from Ikea and he convinces me to sit on the trolley on the way back to the car and runs with the trolley until I'm breathless with laughter and fear we will crash into a column. I pay bills. I do my hair. I'm blissfully normal.
I sleep.
And this is not something I take for granted anymore. Some nights when I don't have an early shift I sleep for 9 hours. This time last year 5.5 was normal. This time last year I woke to darkness every day and watched the rising of the sun and tried to breathe and survive. Now days I still sometimes wake before the sun and I watch it rise in my car with a cup of tea in a travel mug as I inch along with the other commuters.
I try to dream.
And my dreams are of fairy lights and lace. My dreams are of plaster dust and lavender. The crown of a newborn head, tiny crescent fingernails. My dreams are of wrinkles and white hairs. I throw the tablecloth of my life out before me and smooth it flat, I am careful to choose what I lay upon it. I watch the wheel of life turn and feel no sadness at it's passing.
I wake one morning and reach for my camera. My four daughters and I escape the house like puppies set loose and we enter the outside which is different with a camera. Inside the lens everything fits into a box. We find some purple flowers in the grass by the side of a road and we stop to shoot in them. Inside the lens it doesn't matter that cars are driving past and construction is happening beside us. It doesn't matter that this spot is actually an overgrowth of weeds. The mosquitos are invisible in the shot. Inside the lens it only matters that there are purple flowers on the ground springing from the grass like hope and that is all I show you. Life is different, so easily distracted by the noise of everything you barely notice the purple flowers. I had driven that road every day but I didn't see them until I went looking for magic.
That whole year I spent trapped in my own mind, fighting for a way out. Looking for a door.
I was the door.

In a recent blog that I posted, I reported a story about a TSA screener who played a practical "joke" on an innocent airline passenger. The latest news is that the screener has been let go.
"More recently, Davis told the Inquirer that as of January 21st, the TSA worker is no longer employed by the agency. Privacy laws protect his name from being released." [emphasis mine]
But I still don't get this "privacy laws" nonsense. Every civilian criminal (except minors) is always named when he or she is accused of a crime. What makes this Terrorist Scam Administration thug any different? Was he some sort of secret agent?

Traditionally, the worlds of PLC, motion control and control technology on one hand, with measurement technology and "lab applications" on the other, have diverged when it comes to data entry and processing in an industrial environment.
Yet divergence always means having to use additional interfaces, which leads to restrictions on efficiency and operating convenience. But why have this separation in the first place? For some time now, PC-based control has offered sufficient performance reserves to manage both tasks seamlessly and scalably – from the computer to the high-speed fieldbus EtherCAT and to the wide range of I/O terminals for measurement in particular.
The reason for the traditional separation of the two data processing worlds is precisely why PC-based control is of such an enormous benefit today: Until just a few years ago, the computing power of control systems was far too limited for handling automation and measurement technology. Thanks to Moore's Law and its predicted rapid advancement of PC technology, high-performance automation and sophisticated measurement data processing, as well as functions such as condition monitoring and energy monitoring, can now be united.
Taking the step from conventional programmable logic controller (PLC) technology to PC-based control must be accompanied by a corresponding change in thinking – in other words, integration of measurement technology aspects – during development and design.
Measurement technology from standard to high-end functionality
This shift in thinking is extremely simple thanks to a unique approach where measurement technology is no longer restricted to a "black box" that is difficult to integrate. Rather, it can be implemented directly in a familiar and easily upgraded engineering environment that utilises standard I/O components.
The main advantage is in the underlying system structure: The measured data is captured in a simple, cost-effective and optimally scalable manner directly at the machine, using measuring terminals and is then transmitted for processing to high-performance Industrial PCs via extremely fast EtherCAT communication. All of the software modules, for example PLC, measurement technology, and visualisation, are combined on a single platform – for the purpose of consistently integrating the two worlds of control and measurement technology.
High-end measurement applications and standard measurement technology tasks are capably covered thanks to a comprehensive range of measurement I/O terminals. The numerous analogue input terminals with standard resolution will suffice for many applications: For example, the KL30xx bus terminals as well as EL30xx EtherCAT terminals with 12 bit resolution record analogue signal voltages in a wide signal range from -2 to +2 V, -10 to +10 V, 0 to 2 V, 0 to 10 V, 0 to 500 mV, 0 to 20 mA and 4 to 20 mA. Standard EL31xx analogue input terminals with 16 bit resolution are already suitable for high-precision control processes. In addition, they also support time-critical applications thanks to the extremely fast A/D conversion time – approx. 40 to 100 µs depending on the type – and provide support for EtherCAT distributed clocks.
High-end technology is further supported by terminals with 18 and 24 bit resolution and the corresponding measurement accuracy for standard current and voltage signals. In addition, highly accurate models are available for connecting thermocouples and resistance thermometers as well as versions for especially complex signals, such as performance measurement or condition monitoring based on IEPE acceleration sensors. The EtherCAT terminals enable the development of technically demanding solutions through the support of XFC technology (extreme fast control) and with it, advanced functions like oversampling.
XFC delivers high-speed data acquisition for measured values
XFC technology is based on an optimised control and communication architecture comprising an industrial PC, I/O terminals with extended real-time characteristics, EtherCAT, and TwinCAT automation software. I/O response times of under 100 µs can be achieved with this finely tuned system. XFC in particular uses functionalities such as distributed clocks, time stamping and oversampling.
The distributed clocks in EtherCAT represent a core XFC technology and are a fundamental component of EtherCAT communications. This is because, in addition to minimum response times, the crucial factors for the control process are deterministic actual value acquisition (i.e. an exact temporal calculation must be possible), and a corresponding deterministic set value output. A deterministic behaviour must therefore be supported by the I/O components, but not in the communication or calculation unit. All EtherCAT devices therefore have their own local clocks, which are automatically and continuously synchronised with all other clocks. Different communication runtimes are compensated, so that the maximum deviation between all clocks is generally less than 100 ns and the system time is synchronised with extreme precision.
Time-stamped data types actually contain a time stamp in addition to their user data. This time stamp – together with the synchronised distributed clocks – enables the provision of temporal information with significantly higher precision for the process data. EtherCAT terminals with time stamp latch the exact system time at which edge changes occur. Digital values can likewise be output at predefined times.
Oversampling data types enable multiple samplings of process data within a single communication cycle and the subsequent collective transfer of all data. The oversampling factor describes the number of samples made within a communication cycle. High sampling rates can be achieved easily, even with moderate communication cycle times. Analogue EtherCAT input terminals with oversampling thereby enable signal conversion up to 100 kHz and time resolution up to 10 µs; in case of digital input terminals, these values reach 1 MHz and 1 µs.
Analogue input terminals with XFC functionality
The 1-channel EL3356 analogue input terminals enable direct connection of resistance bridges, such as strain gauges, for example. The 24 bit XFC variant is especially suitable thanks to support of distributed clocks as well as automatic self-calibration (which can be deactivated), dynamic filters, and a sampling rate of up to 100 µs for fast and precise logging of torque or vibration sensors.
The additional benefits of oversampling are leveraged, for example, by the 2-channel EL3702 analogue input terminals for signals in the ±10 V range and by the EL3742 for 0 to 20 mA. The temporal signal resolution can be increased in both cases by an oversampling factor of up to 100 compared with the bus cycle time.
The EL3773 EtherCAT terminal is a power monitoring device designed for status monitoring of 3-phase AC voltage systems and likewise supports XFC technology. For each phase, voltages up to 288 Veff/410 V DC and currents up to 1 Aeff/1,5 A DC are sampled as instantaneous values with a resolution of 16 bits. The six channels are measured simultaneously based on the EtherCAT oversampling principle with a temporal resolution of up to 100 µs and passed on to the control system. The control system has sufficient computing power for true RMS or performance calculations, and also for complex customer-specific algorithms based on the measured voltages and currents.
The 2-channel EL3632 analogue input terminal also supports oversampling. It is suitable for condition monitoring applications in which fluctuations are to be detected by means of acceleration sensors or microphones. Piezo sensors with IEPE interface (integrated electronics piezo electric) can be connected directly without the need for a pre-amplifier. The measuring signals sampled at a rate of up to 50 kHz are analysed on the PC via the TwinCAT Library or alternatively by means of custom software. The terminal can be adapted to individual requirements through configurable filters and supply currents. Through interfacing via EtherCAT and support for the distributed clocks function, the measurement results – and any detected defects – can be precisely allocated to an axis position.
High-precision measured values for sophisticated measurement technology
Higher resolution analogue input terminals are suitable for recording signals with extremely high precision. Examples include the 2-channel EL3602 input channels with 24 bit resolution for ±10, ±5, ±2,5 and ±1,25 V or the EL3612 input channels for 0 to 20 mA as well as the 2-channel EL3692 resistance measurement terminal for a measurement range between 10 mΩ and 10 MΩ.
The EL3681 EtherCAT Terminal is a digital multimeter terminal with 18 bit signal resolution. Currents of up to 10 A can be measured as well as voltages up to
300 V AC/DC. The measurement ranges are switched automatically, as is usual in advanced digital multimeters; the measurement type and range can also be adjusted with EtherCAT if required. Excellent interference immunity is achieved through the design of the EL3681, which features full electrical isolation of the electronic measuring system and dual-slope conversion.
The 1-channel and 2-channel PT100 input terminals for direct connection of resistance sensors enable high-precision temperature measurement. They are extremely precise with a resolution of 0,01°C per digit and are suitable for a temperature range of -200 to +320°C. The calibration result is confirmed in the case of the -0020 terminal versions by means of a calibration certificate. The 4-channel input terminal picks up the signals from four thermocouples and can also detect any broken wires. The high 24 bit resolution enables a scaling of 0,1 to 0,001°C per digit and 10 nV per digit. The internal high-precision temperature measurement at the cold junction therefore allows precise temperature measurement in calibrated operation also when using thermocouples.
Full utilisation of multi-core technology results in lower engineering costs
In particular, it is the new TwinCAT 3 software generation, featuring integration in Microsoft Visual Studio, which best fulfills the requirements of scientific automation – the convergence of automation and measurement technology. The real-time environment is designed in such a way that practically any number of PLCs, safety PLCs and C++ tasks can be performed on the same or different CPU cores. The new TwinCAT 3 condition monitoring library exploits these opportunities in particular: Raw data can be sampled with a fast task and processed with a somewhat slower task. This means that measured data will be continuously recorded and can be analysed independently in a second task with numerous algorithms. The individual functional modules of the condition monitoring library store their results in a global transfer tray, i.e. a type of storage table. From here the results can be copied to variables or processed using different algorithms so that an individual measurement and analysis chain can be compiled.
No specific Beckhoff modules or other modifications to the original model are required to create Matlab/Simulink modules. The Matlab and Simulink coders generate C++ code, which is then compiled in a TwinCAT 3 module.
Repeated use of the modules is possible through instantiation. The block circuit diagram from Simulink can be displayed directly in TwinCAT and used, for example, to set break points.
TwinCAT Scope enables the graphical representation of all relevant signals from scientific automation software. Its viewer component can be used for visualising signals in charts, while the server component logs the data on the picks up the signals from four thermocouples and can also detect any broken wires. The high 24 bit resolution enables a scaling of 0,1 to 0,001°C per digit corresponding target device. Scope also allows measured values to be read in the microsecond range to the exact cycle and enables visualisation of oversampling values captured by EtherCAT measurement terminals.

Every now and then it comes along, a true game changer. The real deal. Very different from all before it. Rob and I have been sailing it for the past three days.
The Naish Chopper. I hadn't even heard of it till we went to the Naish loft to pick up gear.
It's a sail. It comes in four sizes: small, medium, large and extra large. All four sizes rig on a 370. A really refreshing concept in simplicity: it's windy, I'll rig my small sail; it's pretty windy, I'll rig my medium sail; it's kinda light, I'll rig my large sail.
Simplify windsurfing gear. Everyone's been asking for that for years. But does it work? Yes, it does. The Chopper is arguably the most impressive sail Rob and I have ever tested. I spent all yesterday afternoon on the Small (it was windy), while Rob was on the medium. The first day at Kanaha was pretty light, so Rob sailed the Large. Two days ago he sailed at Kaua in mast high+ with raging conditions on a Small Chopper and said he never even thought about his gear, it was so totally dialed.
Yesterday while I was on the Chopper S, Neil (my new friend from the UK who sails here frequently and is ten pounds heavier than me) was on a 2012 Session 3.7. It was windy. We launched at the same time. After a few reaches, he came in and took a bunch more out haul as the wind had spiked up a notch. I was just loving life on the S. We zoomed around for quite a while, then the wind backed off and Neil took a break. I was still loving life. The Chopper didn't seem to care that the wind was pulsing, it just stayed perfectly calm. The sail was blowing my mind by now. So solid, so stable, so light in my hands. No tugging or yanking. Awesome.
I finally came in and gave my setup to Neil. He absolutely couldn't believe it. I had to wave him in after a while so I could go back out. He was having WAY too much fun. He's going to buy a quiver to take back to the UK.
The Naish Chopper is simply amazing. I look forward to spending a lot more time on it.
Coming soon to Big Winds!

Best Cookie Ever!
I am probably late to the party on this one but I today had the best cookie ever. And it was totally by chance. I was at lunch today and ordered a turkey melt, or something. I don't even really remember because all I can think about is the cookie. For some silly reason the waiter felt bad that my sandwich didn't come with a side. I ordered it that way, so I'm not sure why he felt compelled to add to my lunch, but in retrospect I'm sure glad he did! It was a chocolate cookie filled with peanut butter filling–it might as well have been a Reese's peanut butter cup. Honestly it was one of the best cookies I have ever had.
Although I am a cookie girl and they are my preferred choice of treats, I am not crazy about nuts (well not walnuts) on my cookies. The cookie he served us was a chocolate cookie which appeared to have walnuts in it. But I smiled, said thank you and set it aside.
We finished eating our lunch and while we sat there visiting, I decided to go ahead and pick at the chocolate cookie. OMG, was I surprised when I broke the cookie in half. I completely expected this cookie to be like a brownie with nuts when in actuality it was more like a Reese's peanut butter cup made into a cookie.
This cookie was not full of walnuts like I expected, it had been rolled in a few chopped peanuts prior to being baked. Once I took a bite of this amazing cookie I did not even notice the nuts on the outside, all I tasted was the fabulous combination of chocolate and peanut butter.
So what do you do when you have tried a cookie that is as memorable as this one? You go home and try to recreate it of course!
I quickly began scouring the internet looking for the perfect cookie recipe. I found several that I thought would work but the best one I found was a Better Homes and Garden recipe. However, I have made a few minor, well, shall we say, improvements.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I have.
Peanut Butter Filled Chocolate Cookie Recipe
Cookie dough:
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
Peanut Butter Filling:
- 3/4 cup confectioners sugar
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
Preheat oven to 350
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder and baking soda in a medium bowl.
In a large bowl beat together butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar and 1/4 cup peanut butter until well combined. Add egg, milk and vanilla. Beat well. Gently mix in the flour mixture until incorporated. Form the chocolate dough into balls and set aside.
For the filling combine confectioners sugar and 1/2 cup peanut butter in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth. Form into balls.
Working on a a nonstick surface like wax paper, gently flatten each chocolate ball. Top with peanut butter ball. Carefully fold chocolate dough around the peanut butter ball and seal the edges. Roll dough into a ball.
Place balls on baking sheet. Lightly flatten with the bottom of a glass dipped in 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Optional: sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
Bake cookies for about 8 minutes, until the surface begins to slightly crack. Let cool for 1 minute on the sheet. Transfer to wire racks and cool completely.
Then enjoy the best. cookie. ever.

An Instagram exercise star recently posted side-by-side pictures of herself taken three years apart, to show that a person's weight isn't reflective of their fitness level.
Dutch fitness trainer Yola, who has 82,000 followers on Instagram, wrote that in the three years since she had taken the first picture (on the left), she had gained six kilos (13 lbs). But in the recent picture (on the right), she actually looks far more fit.
"I was scrolling back in my phone and found this 'old' (non-flexed) picture. Weight is just a number," Yola wrote in the caption.
Three years ago, Yola was definitely slim, but clearly a bit out of shape, even though she weighed just 58 kilos, or 127 lbs.
And now, she's got a killer six pack, incredibly toned arms and legs, and looks even more slim — except now she weighs 64 kilos, or 141 lbs.
That's because while fat and muscle weigh the same, muscle is more dense and distributed differently on a person's body.
So, a person who works out a ton could be losing inches from their waistline, but actually gaining pounds on the scale.

Why spray tanning?
Whenever you return from a holiday, the first thing friends and family generally discuss is your great tan, or lack thereof. Tanning has actually been prominent since the very early 20th century, yet the wellness risks related to the sunlight's UV rays have made sustaining an even tan -- much less any kind of type of tan -- difficult, especially for those who live in chilly as well as wet climates.
Get in interior tanning salons, which came to be a prominent pattern in the '80s. Currently, interior tanning is a $3 billion-a-year industry in the United States alone.
Because the year 2000, spray tanning has actually taken the tanning globe by tornado. It has given males with a means to get as well as maintain a healthy-looking, also tan without being subjected to the sun's rays. Just what is most remarkable is that, unlike previous self sunless sun tanning techniques, the impacts of spray tanning in fact look great.
What is spray tanning?
Spray tanning works by applying an unique mist to the body. This haze is sprayed onto the physical body in a display, which you can now locate at most higher-end tanning beauty salons and medical spas. The haze produced has dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which is a chemical that reacts with dead skin cells by cosmetically coloring them brownish. So after spray tanning, the skin handles a gold brown colour that normally resembles a natural tan.
Relying on the booth made use of, the haze will certainly either be water or oil based; men with delicate skin should select a water base. Additionally, some salons provide different types of hazes, allowing you to select the degree of darkening. If you are extremely fair-skinned, remember that going too dark will certainly look phony and also awkward, despite the high quality of the item.
Will it give me a great tan?
The mist in spray tanning momentarily makes your skin gold brownish, not orange. The chain reaction physically alters your skin colour, so there's no need to worry about smear lines; besides, the items on the marketplace have actually been well-tested in order to make certain they give a colour that looks precisely like a natural tan (or as close as it's getting). Even fair-skinned individuals who usually transform pink instead of brownish while tanning will certainly profit from a bronze colour by obtaining a spray tan.
For how long does it last?
Mystic Tan, among the most prominent brands of spray tanning booths, states that as soon as an optimum colour is achieved, it can be maintained by tanning every five days. Dream Tan, a competitor, explains that their tans will last approximately 10 days. As you'll find by continuing reading, there are particular actions you could take (prior to and also after your spray tanning session) to make certain that your tan lasts as long as possible.
Below's a mini-lesson in dermatology: The leading level of your skin naturally loses in order to give way to newer skin. Because that leading layer of skin is the part that's colored by the DHA, the tan wears away once the leading layer of dead skin peels off. So, to prolong the effects of the spray tan, you must utilize cream (you recognize, that lotion your lady swears by) to keep the top layer from losing as promptly. Primarily, if you moisturize, you must be able to preserve an optimum tan for concerning five days.
There are numerous creams on the marketplace, by every cosmetic producer worldwide. You can't walk into a drug store or chain store without finding a complete rack of right stuff so head out as well as obtain that tan that you are worthy of.
Safe Ways To Keep Tan Year-Round: Top 10 Needs to Use Sunless Tanners
There are ways to stay tanned without risking your health-yet many people still reveal themselves to possibly harmful UV rays to accomplish a healthy radiance.
A survey taken by the American Academy of Dermatology found that 61 percent of women under 18 think they are prettier with a tan and fifty percent think a tan makes them look healthy and balanced. This could assist describe a research in the Journal of the American Medical Organization that reported skin cancer amongst women under the age of 40 has tripled in the previous Three Decade, citing the appeal of sun tanning as a noticeable reason.
Specialists from The Skin Cancer cells Foundation urge people never to look for a UV ray tan. However, for those who intend a tanned appearance, tanning items, such as the Tan Yer Hide ™ Residence Spray Tanning System, is a safe option as long as it is utilized combined with a minimal SPF 15. Specialists provide these top 10 reasons people are transforming in the direction of such sun tanning products:
1. No Hazardous Risks-Sunless tanners do not pose the threats associated from UV rays with sunbathing as well as tanning beds as well as you get the same great-looking tan.
2. Price Conscious-You can possess your very own tanning kit and at-home spray tanning system-usually for concerning half the cost of tanning in a beauty salon. For instance, the brand-new tanning system from Tan Yer Hide ™ uses the same spray technology as an expert unit as well as can be used to obtain a natural-looking tan, free of touches or orange color. It additionally has solution that could last up to six months or more.

5. Save Time-There is no need to begin dealing with your tan months beforehand. A self sunless tan could be used the day of or the day before you require a fabulous glow.
6. Tans Are Temporary-Although some sunless tanning systems could last as much as 2 Week, many only last five to seven days.
7. Safe For More People-Even if you can not obtain a natural tan for clinical reasons, you could probably still utilize self sunless tanners. Simply consult your physician initially.
8. Self sunless Tanners Are Better Compared to Ever-The use of DHA, the main ingredient in self sunless tanners, has actually been enhanced throughout the years.
9. No Tan Lines-Tan lines are almost unavoidable with sunbathing and also tanning beds. With self sunless tanners, you could use a tan to your whole physical body with no worries about awkward lines after that.

Greg Barth is kicking ass in 2015. He re-released the excellent book Selena in the summer and now he's following it up with Diesel Therapy (Selena part 2). While the summer release blew me away, I now realize it was just table dressing for the rest of Selena's story. To say this series keeps getting better is the understatement of the year.
Barth keeps the balls-to-the-wall pace he set in the first book throughout the sequel, but he peppers this one with flashes of humanity as we get to know Selena on a deeper, more personal level. We get glimpses into her childhood and how these experiences manifested to turn her into the cold-blooded killer we got to know so well in part one.
This installment opens with Selena incarcerated for the series of events that closed out the first book. She is trying to keep her nose clean and find a way to get her freedom back. Unfortunately for her, she's made some powerful enemies who are determined to break her spirit. They want to further their agenda by having her become their star witness against other high-powered criminals.
Selena ends up showing us she has more internal fortitude than we thought, while getting some help from an unlikely source that help prevent her from being forced into submission by her new enemies. When Selena gets a taste of freedom, she is determined to stop the people who initially sent her on her path of ruin and prevent them from continuing their legacy of ruining the lives of young ladies.
The beauty of this book is the growth we see in Selena. While the first book showed us that she is a tough-ass chick who stops at nothing to get what she wants and keep herself safe, this novel shows us glimpses of her soul and allows us to see she still has a part of her that is compassionate and worthy of salvation. The fact that Barth can bring out the reader's sympathy for a character like Selena is a testament to the power of his words and plotting.
Barth is a genius with words. He mixes his action scenes with great character development and superb dialogue. His sense of pacing is spot on and there's not one wasted page, paragraph, or word. Momentum is gained from the opening paragraph and builds to a crescendo in the final scene. The beauty of the closing scene in Diesel is it acts as a dénouement for the book, but the series promises at least one more entry forthcoming.
This is an ass kicking series and Barth is a writer to watch. While Diesel Therapy can be read as a stand-alone, only a jackass would shortchange themselves and not start at the beginning of this adventure with Selena and then tackle this beauty. You can thank me for this advice after you finish the books and finally manage to get your breath back.
Highly recommended.

One of the happy side effects of being a Chinese herb teacher is that I get to learn more about Chinese herbs.
As I prepare for my latest teaching opportunity, I find myself thinking a lot about herbs that are commonly overlooked in texts, in online interactions and in most college/university courses. This includes less understood herbs like Fuzi, Caowu and Tongcao but, especially, extremely common herbs like Dazao and Gancao. As a Chinese herb dork – I love them all.
Over the coming weeks, I'd like to share what I uncover about one of these stalwart friends – Gancao.
I'll be sharing in the same order that I commonly work. Even when I know an herb fairly well, when called to study it again, I follow well-worn paths of exploration.
In brief, I look into:
- The basic data available about the herbs in standard Chinese herbal textbooks. This especially includes comparing and contrasting different interpretations.
- Information I can get – if any – from a live specimen. This includes more esoteric stuff (plant spirit type exploration) but also simple botanical observations.
- Anything I can learn about different preparations of the Chinese herb and other "herb industry" information.
- Ecological and lifecycle information – learning how it grows, when, where, under what circumstances, and how that has changed over time due to cultivation and habitat shifts.
- Information from as many classical Chinese sources as possible. I typically limit myself to Han dynasty texts and anything I can get from Sun Simiao.
- Notes and conversations with my teachers as well as patient data from my own records.
- Sensory exploration from touching, tasting, looking at and playing with the herb in various forms.
- Biochemical information as well as any interesting scientific studies into the plant and its constituents.
- I'm fortunate to have lots of Chinese herb related student projects to look through – sometimes these yield interesting information I wouldn't have found elsewhere. This is particularly true of creative interpretation type projects.
- Perhaps most importantly, though I list it here at #10, is information that comes from the formulas/relationships that the herb finds itself in. Of course, in the case of Gancao – that's very many indeed. Partly, I like to look at the dynamics of the formula, but also noting if it's in a lot or just a few is information in and of itself.
Other bits and pieces of information come up, depending on the herb.
What do I do with all this information?
Well – I put it in my database (of course) for one. While I've posted EXTENSIVELY about Evernote, and still use it about a hundred times a day, I'm mostly using Devonthink right now for medical information. I go back and forth as software evolves. I like Devonthink for its artificial intelligence features – they make finding connections just that much easier, accelerating my learning process.
Having this information in my database (and synced to my iPhone & iPad) allows me to access it before it's memorized, and also to remind me in those frequent cases that my memory simply doesn't serve.
But, more than that, I study this information. My study process for a Chinese herb (and most other htings) at this point has four major pieces:
- Reading, sitting, tooling around : This is the fact finding part. I research, but I don't push too hard. I read, I engage, I write down what comes to me.
- Filling in the gaps : This is a more intensive process. After the first phase is done, I look around for things I don't understand or wasn't able to find at all. For instance, if I learned a ton about an herb, but couldn't figure out where it was typically grown, I'll go hunting.
- Writing or teaching about it : Whether my unwitting peers and family or my slightly less unwitting students, I like to solidify what I'm learning by trying to tell other people about it. Sometimes that's on the blog, sometimes it's on other private online projects, and sometimes live and in person.
- Organize everything : As a final step, I review what I've learned and try to codify it into something concise and informative. Sometimes, that's a single sheet of information, but more typically it's a small digital "booklet" of information. These are revised as more information comes in – another place where the database comes in handy.
During this whole process, I'm usually using the herbs in practice of course. My initial education, including the many extra curricular seminars I enjoyed, were more than enough to make me competent. My years of practice since then have added to my knowledge and ability. But, there's always reason to study.
Particularly for a youngin' like me.
So what's next?
In the next post, I'll divulge all the information that falls under "basic info" for me. This is the stuff I get from books and other standard sources, though not all of it will be familiar to everybody. Then, I'll go from there. You'll learn with me. To be fair, Gancao is an herb I know quite a bit about, and have growing in my garden. So, some of what I will be doing is just going back over information – reorganizing – adding – reconfiguring – enlivening. But, it should be fun. I'll not be able to share everything publicly – some information was bequeathed to me in lineage confidence – but most everything is fair game.
Sounds like fun, right?

Strictly gossip-level, but the bold predictions gets it a mention. It's Breitbart, so understatement isn't going to feature:
San Francisco, heartland of wacky progressive politics but also home to some of America's most innovative technology companies, is in trouble. Not just trouble, actually, but serious shit. […] And the main reason is China. The Wall Street Journal has a good explainer on what's going on over there, but the basic thing you need to understand is that a lot of glossy American stocks are about to take a tumble, especially tech stocks.
The core of the analyis:
Fear and greed run the stock market, which is, of course, exactly as it should be: they're the instincts upon which capitalism is built. But that's a problem for companies who suffer dramatically when global events conspire to shunt investors into safer bets. […] Businesses like Twitter and Facebook have always been grotesquely overvalued, according to conventional analyses. Technology companies get away with hilarious valuations mainly thanks to upward pressure; the inflation happens right at the start when companies raise hundreds of millions of dollars on multimillion dollar valuations, despite not earning a penny in revenue and having no immediate plans to do so. […] That's in outrageous contradiction to their price-to-earnings ratio, one traditional and very reliable way of valuing companies. […] Tech stocks have absurdly high price-to-earnings ratios, and any blip in the market has a much bigger effect on high PE stocks than low PE stocks. So investors are counting on massive future growth that will likely never come and betting against global events that shave billions off the value of frothy investments.
It could get a little rough.

A very brief post to emphasise an important point.
When we as diabetics are choosing foods for the menu or checking the ingredients of a recipe, sugar should be treated as just another carbohydrate. It is more concentrated than most carbs but my meter has repeatedly shown me it is the total carbs that count, not just the sugar content, when I test my blood glucose after eating.
Food products which are marketed as sugar-free are very rarely carbohydrate-free. In fact, more often than not they have just as many carbs as the sugared versions. I encountered a classic example of this a couple of days ago when I saw a large display in my local Aldi store promoting 'healthy' sugar-free products.
These are photos of just some of the products. Sorry about the smart-phone quality of the pics; the carb counts are clear enough. I'll let them prove my point.
99.5% Sugar-free Shortbread = 67.9% carbohydrates
99.5% Sugar-free Wafer Biscuits = 62.4% carbohydrates
99.5% No Added Sugar Dark Chocolate = 57% carbohydrates
The piece-de-resistance. Sugar-free Mixed Fruit Drops:
I could not believe this one when I turned the can over. There was no added sugar, so it must be healthier than other fruit drops...yeah, right.
It is 93% carbohydrates.
Always read those labels, folks.
Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

23.11.91 Financial Times
Your report "Putting Value on the lines", 18 November is inaccurate in several respects. You claim that in 1948 BR ceased to show asset value & depreciation. That is incorrect. This information was included in Annual Accts from 1948 onwards. The form of accounts is directed by the MoT in accordance with his powers under 1947, 1953 & 1962 Acts & no change may be made without his authority. There is no mention in Acts that BR should be run as a social service although that became expectation of the public, elected representatives & media. You overlook assets are worth so much because of Private Sector pricing, which also accounts for UK industry losing a world lead in so many fields, indeed withdrawing completely from some. I do not share your view that asset management is old hat to the average business manager - were it so we would not be reading reports of hostile takeovers in which a predator proves a victim is failing to do exactly that. Furthermore, many of us in my day with BR, laboured to avoid capital & revenue waste, invariably against objections of the public, media, elected representatives & CTCC.
10.1.92 Financial Times
I refer to your letter of 7 January, & must tell you your article was unambiguously incorrect in the following respects:-
"from 1948 cost of tracks, signalling & stations was written
off". That is completely wrong. I have copies of 1957 & 1961 Accts,
which show, as they had done from 1948, values of "Land, Buildings, P-Way
etc." Likewise, my copies of Accounts for 1964 & 1971 show "Way
& Structures,
2. "On nationalisation in 1948...... purpose of newly merged railways was to provide social service rather than run a commercial service". You now state "there was no suggestion BR was required by law to run as a social service". What exactly do those words mean because they convey the meaning you now refute. The phraseology of Section 3 (4) of the 1947 Act does not support your statement. Where else, or by whom else than Government, would the "purpose" be specified? Incidentally, if you refer to my letter, you will find I made no reference to this issue.
Your reply is further incorrect:-
3. I made no reference to private sector pricing. So far as company balance sheets are concerned, I am only too well aware how assets can be under or over valued to present a preferred picture.
4. Your reply ignores my point that BR accounts are prepared in accordance with Ministerial directives, so if assets, having a current value, had not been included, it could only be by his/her directive. Finally, may I inform you that managers took a very active interest in asset costs during my 40 years with BR. Track reductions, singling of lines, junction simplifications, rolling stock economies & other measures, often in the face of public or staff opposition, provide ample proof. All proposals for renewal track, signalling, etc were subject to review & authorisation & were only given after careful consideration of all alternative options. What you believe is a new approach, is "old hat" to many of us who worked for BR, certainly into the last decade. What you describe is a partitioning of assets to new business groupings. Your decision not to print denies readers the opportunity to exercise their own minds in reaching a conclusion.
[From 1948 to 1961, Annual Accounts included
:- Table V-8 (Rolling Stock, Vehicles,
Ships, Plant & Equipment - Capital Account movements), Table V-9 (Rolling Stock, Vehicles, Ships,
Plant & Equipment - Depreciation), Table V-10 (Land, Buildings, Permanent
Way, & Other Works - Capital Account expenditure), Table V-11 (Maintenance
Equalisation Account Movements). These tables gave far more detail than one
finds in typical major
Table 3-B (Way & Structures, Operational Land & Buildings not in Operational Use - Capital Account & Amortisation movements). Thereafter, Annual Accounts include Table 13 (Tangible Assets - Buildings, Way & Structures, & Rolling Stock, Plant & Equipment - Capital Account & Amortisation & Depreciation movements) Annual Accounts explained basis of Depreciation & Amortisation). Depreciation - BR could have copied roads where there are no business accounts & no depreciation].
11.2.97 BBC2 (Not broadcast & no reply)
On BBC2 on 2nd Feb, Prof. John Kay, (London School Economics), said: "What happened when firms were nationalised, they were given lot of authority & freedom to manage own affairs, & gradually, Govt came to interfere more & more & impose a more extensive range of controls". So far as railways are concerned, he was mistaken. Other nationalised industries, were given a measure of managerial freedom, but BR was rigidly controlled. Their prices were fixed by a Court of Law; endeavours to eliminate unprofitable activities were delayed & blocked by Ministers & agencies they had appointed to exercise almost limitless interference; they were told to pay higher wages than they cd afford or intended to do; they were directed to pay subsidies to privately owned bus coys when unprofitable lines were closed after protracted delays, proving the unprofitability of routes; they could not develop land. An Advisory Group of businessmen, appointed by Govt criticised the scale of interference". Its findings were secret for 30 years. Most recommendations were not implemented by Govt which retained its grip on decisions regarded as basic management decisions elsewhere. Several media reports linked policies with electoral or political purposes.
16.1.09: e-mail Daily Telegraph (Not published)
The dumping of litter on railways (Letters, 16 January), is an old problem.
10 Aug 2007 Daily Record
I was
astonished to find that John McKie had repeated the popular myth that Mussolini
made the trains run on time (28 July 2007). He quotes no source. Having noticed
this kept rearing its head in the media - often coupled with a threat to shoot
drivers - I decided to research the facts. Mussolini's autobiography does not
mention such a threat nor even claim that railways were reliable, a boast he
would not have concealed. He admits that he got rid of critical editors and
journalists. Six biographies of Mussolini and Fascism do not make the claim.
Hoping to end this myth I set out these facts in a book:
27.5.09: e-mail Daily Telegraph (Not published)
I am astonished to see your leader (25 May) regurgitating the myth that Mussolini got Italian trains to run on time. My findings from eight biographies, Mussolini's autobiography, and two books on the Fascist era reveal that the claim is a myth. The findings are set out on my website www.transportmyths.co.uk . He never threatened – as editors and politicians believe – to shoot train drivers. He did shoot some editors and politicians.
2.7.09 e-mail Daily Telegraph (Not published)
I cannot believe that you have repeated the
unfounded claim that Mussolini made trains run on time. I have written
repeatedly to the media on this subject. To save journalists having to work too
hard, I summarised the facts on the performance of Italian railways from
eight biographies of Mussolini, his autobiography and two books on Fascist
Italy. They reveal beyond peradventure that it was a convenient myth to make
Fascism look good. The only people he threatened to shoot were Italian editors
who were not so gullible as foreign editors. The facts were mentioned in my
book "

If you want to know how to setup Ares and get this P2P program up and running properly, in this handy guide you'll find everything related to its options and the best configuration to be applied.
Through the Control Panel, available on the right upper corner of the main window of Ares, you can customize the behavior of the program.
Setup options
Specifically, the setup options of Ares 2016 are grouped in eight different tabs:
One of the first settings you can change are those related to the preferred language (so you can use Ares in English or in another 19 idioms), auto-connect to network every time you start the program or show the status on main window's caption.
Meanwhile, if you click on About Ares, you can check the version of Ares currently running.
In Transfer you can set the default port for incoming connections, something essential to let the program work properly.
The best practice is to change the port number if you realize that the speed transfer is lower than desired, because some ISPs usually limit the capacity of those used by default on P2P file sharing.
Here you can also indicate if you want the transfer percentage to show, filter executable or potentially dangerous files or set the number of downloads or uploads allowed at once, as well as limiting the available bandwidth that program can use (something useful if you are running other apps on your PC which demand permanent connection to the Internet).
It is recommended to set aside at least the 20% of the available bandwidth, so Ares doesn't monopolize it completely.
Finally, on this tab you can choose the download folder of Ares (by default named My Shared Folder and placed on the desktop).
The third tab is where you'll find all the options of the embedded chat: nickname, personal details and other stuff related to instant messaging.
If your connection is firewall-protected or you are using a proxy to connect to the Internet, you should setup Ares modifying some of the parameters shown here.
Once you're done, just click Check connection and you will know if everything is ready to let the program work trouble-free.
This tab is used to insert hashlinks, a sort of unique ID for every file available to download, so if you find one on a trusted website or another user shares it with you it's easy to download exactly what the file claims to be (and with no need to search for it before).
Changing the way Ares looks like it's no complicated at all, thanks to the use of skins. Just pick the style you prefer among the ones shown or download more skins and the changes will be applied.
Other of the great features included in Ares is its capacity to download torrent files natively (and not only from other connected users).
Just chose the folder where the torrent downloads will be stored and presto.
The last tab of the Control Panel of Ares is used to explore your hard disk for files and folders you want to share on Ares. You can chose "auto-scan" (so all your files will be indexed) or "manual configure" (to share only some folders and files).
And that's all! Now Ares is setup for enjoying the best possible experience and boost your download speed.

Jose Carlos Fajardo / Bay Area News Group
SACRAMENTO — Moreau Catholic had fought back since the early stages of the season, so it seemed only fitting that the state championship game would be no different.
The Mariners found themselves down 17 points in the first half Saturday against Esperanza-Anaheim and its Stanford-bound star Kezie Okpala before turning to their season-long script.
They scraped and clawed and chipped away at the mountain of a deficit, eventually taking the lead.
But there would be no celebration for Moreau, no championship trophy to bring back to Hayward, as Esperanza returned to Southern California with a 72-65 victory in the Division II final at Golden 1 Center.
"This group of young men, I am proud of," Moreau coach Frank Knight said. "I want them to always know that. I am proud of the heart and determination that they have, the will to fight, even though the things around them may not go the way it's supposed to go.
"They have done this all year. We started off the season 2-8, and we ended up in this game."
Three years after absorbing a nightmare of a state championship game defeat by 41 points to Bishop Montgomery, Moreau seemed headed in a similar direction as Esperanza soared to a 26-9 advantage in the second quarter.
"I was thinking it was deja vu," Moreau star Damari Milstead said. "It felt like it was my freshman year. But we fought. We just didn't play well enough in the beginning. I could have played better. I didn't shoot the ball well enough. When they put the big kid on me, it rattled me."
The 6-foot-8 Okpala not only defended Milstead — a 2,300-point scorer in a storied high school career — he also finished with 22 points and 12 rebounds.
"He's a good player," said the Grand Canyon University-bound Milstead, who had 22 points. "He's good on the defensive end. On the offensive end, he got his teammates shots where they wanted to get shots. He chose his spots very well."
Brendan Harrick led Esperanza with 25 points on 10-of-20 shooting, which included some big 3-pointers from the corner.
Esperanza needed such contributions because this Moreau team was more seasoned than the one when Milstead was a freshman.
Knight put his mostly young players through a meatgrinder of a December schedule, and the BBQing on the scoreboard and in the standings toughened up the Mariners for March.
Led by Milstead and super freshman Kyree Walker, Moreau outlasted Bishop O'Dowd and Tamalpais in the section playoffs, roared back in the final minutes to win at St. Francis in a regional final and then charged back again Saturday.
The Mariners pulled within 34-26 at halftime and kept the heat on to start the third quarter. They frustrated Esperanza with a trapping defense and took a 39-38 lead when Walker, who finished with 28 points and 10 rebounds, drove for a basket.
But Esperanza didn't go 30-3 for no reason. Okpala scored on a layup to reclaim the advantage, 40-39, and start a 9-0 run that put Esperanza back in control.
Knight acknowledged that it took a lot of energy for his guys to erase such a large deficit.
"I was trying to use every time out I had, with the TV timeouts and stuff, to stretch it out," he said. "It's tough when you get down and dig yourself a hole. We told them in the second half we wanted to make a run and try to get the lead, which we did.
"Then at the very, very end, we put the full-court press on them, the same thing we did to St. Francis, and we caused two or three turnovers. We just couldn't finish. Got to the basket and missed some bunnies. It's tough to come back when you're down that much."
Moreau got as close as two when Walker made two free throws with 54.4 seconds to go, but time ultimately would run out on the Mariners, a painful defeat in more ways than one.
Walker took an elbow to the jaw in the closing seconds, leaving the big guy grimacing and shaken as he tried to walk it off. He later said that he could barely talk.
The outcome ended Moreau's 20-game winning streak as the Mariners finished the Milstead era 25-10.
"Seven years ago no one in this room knew who Moreau Catholic was," Knight said. "We're doing some good things. We're chipping away. We're going to keep working and hopefully we'll be back here in a couple of years."

29 September (Part 2) - You should read Bexley is Bonkers
From Welling I took the bus to Bexleyheath and got off near
the Magic Roundabout to see if there was anything new to see. Opposite ASDA I stumbled upon
some UKIP people handing out leaflets. This wasn't entirely coincidental because UKIP
gives notice of its activities on Twitter. The other two parties only ever use
Twitter to say where they were the day before so I'm not able to treat them
equally. I expect they are keen to keep out of camera view.
I have noticed that the Labour people invariably Twitter that people are sick of Bexley council and the Tories Tweet that householders appreciate the frozen council tax. Maybe they should both get out of their own strongholds for a more representative view.
The man shown wearing the rosette is David Coburn who is Chairman of UKIP London. Our paths have crossed two or three times before which may have something to do with him living in the borough - or about to move in, I'm not sure which.
I had a brief conversation with another of their supporters who lived in Kensington. He told me a little of what his council got up to and I returned the favour. He finished by recommending that I read Bexley is Bonkers. I should have asked him if it is any good.

Dallas Repetitive Motion Injuries Attorneys
Construction work is not easy, and it often requires people to perform the same laborious tasks over and over again. This constant repetition of strenuous physical action is not always healthy, and it can actually lead to repetitive motion injuries. While some repetitive motion disorders simply need time away from work in order to heal, others may require surgery and long-term avoidance of the actions that caused the inflammation. Rather than face these medical bills and lost wages on your own, the attorneys of the Law Offices of Mark T. Lassiter can help Dallas residents seek the compensation they need to treat their repetitive motion injuries.
Types of Repetitive Motion Injuries
Repeating the same motions over and over again can lead to inflammation of the tendons, muscles, joints and other body parts involved in the movement, potentially causing serious repetitive motion injuries. Three common repetitive motion injuries include:
- Bursitis
- Tendonitis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
In addition to being painful and uncomfortable, these disorders may even lead to long-lasting or permanent damage. If you are forced to seek medical treatment and miss work due to these issues, you may want to consider fighting for financial compensation for your construction-related injuries.
Contact a Repetitive Motion Injuries Lawyer in Dallas
A repetitive motion injury may have slowed you down recently, but you do not have to face this injury on your own. In fact, those who suffer from construction-related repetitive motion injuries can seek legal help from the attorneys at the Law Offices of Mark T. Lassiter and pursue the financial compensation they deserve. Contact us today by calling (214) 457-1668 to talk about your situation and possible compensation options.

How well a dishwasher cleans, how easy it is to load, what it's durability is are all things that can make a higher priced unit a better overall value.
You must take into consideration the cost of repair of a faulty, poorly made unit over that of a unit that might have a higher initial cost, but over the duration of its life might give you years of uninterrupted service.
Choose units that have an Energy Star rating. These units use at least 41% LESS energy than the federal minimum standard for energy consumption (Source: EnergyStar.com). That's ultimately a HUGE savings for you.

Happy Monday Lovelies!
If you remember this blazer, from the last time it was seen on the blog ( here ), I had a similar color pairing going on as today's- mint and poppy. It was unintentional, spontaneous and I got this outfit on the docket in less than eight minutes.
I had been wanting to this mint skirt on the blog sometime before today, but the capricious weather had been thwarting all my plans......and when I finally got the chance to wear it, this was the combination that emerged from my stuck-in-this-color-rut brain. Honestly, I didn't want to struggle this mint-poppy color-mix urge. Instead I decided to go with the flow and worked towards injecting some more character to this combination with the pink bow blouse, the purple clutch and my color-blocked pumps. Oh and I would definitely like to draw your attention towards these color-coordinated, matchy-matchy pumps, which BTW was intentional.
Despite, I have to admit that I am enjoying this outfit and all the color drama going on. I love how the pumps match the blouse and the blazer and the clutch picks out color from the entire outfit, giving the whole outfit that cohesive element. Overall a look, looking good to me. What do you think of this look ???
pumps- Aldo shoes ( similar)
clutch-from India

City of Oxnard's wastewater and general funds placed on negative CreditWatch by Standard and Poor's
Standard and Poor's (S&P) placed both the City's wastewater and general funds on CreditWatch with negative implications, effective Nov. 22, 2016. Below are summaries of S&P's reports. The full reports detailing the rationale behind S&P's decision are available on the City's website at www.oxnard.org/financialoutlook.
In its report on the City's wastewater fund, S&P stated that its decision to place the wastewater fund on negative CreditWatch is based on significant financial stress the wastewater system could experience during the next 90 days depending on the following factors:
- Near-term decisions made by the City Council on how to proceed now that Measure M was passed
- The court's decision of whether to grant a stay of Measure M should the City continue to pursue litigation
- Decisions made by Union Bank and the Royal Bank of Canada, the City's financial partners, which could result in significant draws on the wastewater system's cash reserves
In its report on the City's general fund, S&P stated that it placed the general fund on negative CreditWatch based on two factors that could strain the City's general fund:
- The potential that the City may need to borrow money from other unrestricted funds including the general fund to cover the wastewater system's debt service payments
- The financial risks associated with the wastewater fund's poor credit rating and low cash reserves, which could include borrowing from other unrestricted funds
"The negative financial outlook for both funds will have a severe financial impact to ratepayers and the City of Oxnard including increased borrowing costs for the City and higher wastewater rates for residents," said City Manager Greg Nyhoff.
"Unfortunately, the rate repeal is a cause for concern for Standard and Poor's, which has chosen to reevaluate the stable outlook it issued two months ago for the general fund," Nyhoff said. "It's important to keep in mind that the general fund collects tax revenue to pay for critical services including police, fire, library and recreation operations."
During the Nov. 29 City Council meeting, City Manager Nyhoff and Chief Financial Officer Jim Throop will present a report that outlines the complex financial implications of the wastewater rate repeal in greater detail. The City's financial advisers will also be at the meeting to further explain the ramifications of S&P's decision.
Residents are encouraged to attend the Nov. 29 meeting. Spectrum subscribers can watch the meeting on Channel 10, and Frontier Communications customers can tune in to Channel 35. The live stream of the meeting can be accessed at www.oxnard.org/city-council-meetings.
The City of Oxnard is a full-service general law city incorporated in 1903. Oxnard is the largest and most populous city in the County of Ventura, serving 200,000 culturally diverse residents.

Program Information
Geography is the science of place and space. Geographers study the relationships among geographic places, natural systems, society and cultural activities and the interdependence of these from the spatial perspective.
There are two main branches of geography: human geography and physical geography. Human geography is concerned with the spatial aspects of the human endeavor. This examination includes the distribution of humans and their correspondent activities, how people use and perceive space, and how humans create and sustain their environs. Physical geography examines the physical elements and spatial processes related to the earth's environmental systems. These include energy, air, water, weather, climate, landforms, soils, animals, plants, etc. In addition, geography is increasingly utilizing spatial technologies,
such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and remotely-sensed imagery, to study the Earth and its inhabitants.
The discipline of geography specifically examines the linkages between human activity and natural systems. Geographers were, in fact, among the first scientists to sound the alarm that human-induced changes to the environment were beginning to threaten the balance of life itself. Geographers today are active in the examination and planning of our communities and the development of our human landscapes along with the study of global warming, deforestation, pollution, and a variety of other environmental quandaries.
The required and elective coursework for this degree will survey a broad spectrum of physical, human, and geo-spatial inquiry. As a result, the SCC Geography AA-T degree will provide transfer students with a solid foundation in geography as well as the standard prerequisites for upper-division coursework leading to the baccalaureate degree.
Note to Transfer Students:
Even though this transfer degree is designed to make transitioning to a California State University in this major as seamless as possible, it is strongly recommended that you meet with a counselor to construct an educational plan. This process will be imperative if you are planning to transfer to an alternative four-year university or college.
The Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) student completion requirements (as stated in SB1440 law):
(1) Completion of a minimum of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following:
(A) The California State University General Education-Breadth Requirements or the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC).
(B) A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district.
(2) Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.0. ADTs also require that students must earn a "C" or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis.
Career Opportunities
The career opportunities available to someone earning a degree in geography are as varied as the discipline itself. Some career areas and specific occupations include: Natural Resource Management; Environmental Conservation; International Development; Urban and Regional Planning; Education (K-12 through University); Tourism; Cartography; Climate Science; Park Management; Transportation Planning and Logistics; Real Estate; International Business; Marketing; Land Surveying; Research Science; Remote Sensing; Demography; GIS Analysis; and many more (please contact the department for additional information). Some career options may require more than two years of college study.
Upon successful completion of this program, the student will be able to:
- understand the general content and scope of collegiate level geography studies.
- compare and contrast the general biophysical and sociocultural differences and similarities among world regions.
- interpret maps and mapped data utilizing basic map elements, including scales, common coordinate systems, and map symbols.
- utilize geographic information technologies such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and remote sensing in understanding environmental and human phenomena.
- evaluate and analyze geographic problems and their solutions.
- communicate geographic information effectively in oral, written, and graphic form.
Associate in Arts for Transfer Degree
The Associate in Arts in Geography for Transfer (AA-T) degree may be obtained by completion of 60 transferable, semester units with a minimum 2.0 GPA, including (a) the major or area of emphasis described in the Required Program, and (b) either the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education Breadth Requirements.
