(PATRIK STOLLARZ/AFP/Getty Images) Here is the translated Interview: Christian Pulisic, you rejoined the team two weeks ago after the Copa America and your vacation. Are accustomed to the German language again? "I'm slowly getting used to it again. When I returned to Dortmund from the United States, I struggled to find the right words. But it's getting better from day-to-day, the more I speak." Your cousin Will is in goal of Dortmund's under 19. How much does it help in everyday life to have a caregiver by your side? "It is great that Will is now in Dortmund, too. We always got along well, now we're living together in an apartment in DO-City." How was it to play the Copa in your own country? "It was incredible. My family and friends were in the stadiums and watched me play – an unforgettable experience." Can you compare the atmosphere of games in the US and Europe? "No, it's different — Which doesn't mean that it isn't loud in the States. It depends on the situation. It was a great feeling for me to play in front of so many of my fellow countrymen in the USMT-Shirt." You have become a public figure in Germany. How is it in the USA? "The fact that I'm still very young caught the attention of many people. I am obviously aware of that. They put their hopes in me, but I also have high expectations. I'm not letting that get to me or get carried away. I think that's normal when a young player suddenly plays for the national team. I simply want to stay focused and not get distracted" Which role did US-Coach Jürgen Klinsmann play in your development "A very big one. Klinsmann is doing a fine job in my opinion. He completely rebuilt the team in recent years." Yet he is criticised, because of high expectations. What do you think is possible for the USMT in coming years? "In america we say: "The Sky is the limit". We don't limit ourselves, but want to continue our great development. I think we can achieve a lot, if we continue going down the path of the past months." Debut in the Bundesliga, first goal, first international cap, Copa, championship with BVB's U-19. Can you realise all that? "No, not really yet. It all happened incredibly quickly. What happened in the last seven months is completely crazy, but it makes me insanely proud." You missed the U-19 final due to the Copa America preparations. How hard was that for you? "It was a tough decision, maybe the toughest so far in my career. Luckily the boys managed to win without me. Everything happened the way I wished for." How happy are you with your first six months as a senior professional? "Overall, I'm very happy with my displays. I had to make great strides. But my team-mates and coaches supported me well and made it easy for me. Everyone had my back In Dortmund as well as in the national team. I gained a lot of confidence and I feel ready for the next season." Did you get any feedback from BVB-manager Tuchel? "Yes, we talked briefly. He told me that I should carry on from what I did last season. Give my best in every training and in every match. Everything else would come on its own." What expectations do you have for your first full year as senior professional? "I'm excited and thrilled of anticipation. I can hardly wait for the start. I'm convinced that we will have a very strong team once again. I'm looking forward to fight for my place in this team." It won't be easy. The competition in the squad grew. "That is true. But I'm looking forward to train together with Mario Götze and André Schürrle. I can learn a lot from both, who have experienced many things in their careers. And they are simply very strong players." What are your impressions of Emre Mor and Ousmane Dembele? "They are absolutely fantastic. They are both insanely talented and incredibly fast." Is it an advantage for you that the squad is rejuvenated? "Yes, I find that great. It is normal that young players are looking for the company of other young players. Now we have a lot of them. All the new players make a nice impression. We will get along well quickly." Will you act as a role model for the new signings? You already know Tuchel and the Bundesliga. "I will surely be able to help them – even though I'm younger than Emre or Ousmane. But I can also learn a lot from both in training." What was the biggest difference between U-19 and senior football? "Definitely the pace of play. You don't have time to think of what to do next in the Bundesliga or in international games. You have to be focused at every moment and make your decisions instinctively." Looking back to last season, you hadn't had much trouble to adapt. "Yes, it went really well for me. But I can't rest on my laurels now." Did you set any aims for the next season? "No, not in the sense that I want to rack up a amount of games or be involved in a certain number of goals. The most important thing for me is that the team is successful. While I want to play as many minutes as possible." What is your best position? "I don't have any preferences. I can play on all offensive positions in midfield – like many other players in our squad." Makes that flexibility the team stronger? "This can be our advantage. We never have to play with the same eleven as in the week before, because of the vast amount of options the coach has. The depth of our team has improved compared to last season. We will be even harder to predict for opponents." What can BVB achieve? "Even though we didn't win any silverware, we had a great last season. Now integral players left the team, but we still want to continue where we left off – and ideally achieve even more." Stefan Buczko Editor-in-chief and Host of the Yellowwallpod. Freelance football writer, currently writing for ESPN FC. July 31, 2016

|Text too small?
Chart 1: ASX gold index
Chart 2: Gold index rate of change
Chart 3: ASX Asian listings index
Chart 4: Asian listings rate of change
The fad to turn Australian is starting to bite deeper into the New Zealand collective psyche.
While closer relations with Australia are desirable, they should not be pursued for the wrong reasons.
Pessimism about New Zealand's outlook is a temporary phenomenon that could fade with a change of government. New Zealand has had its confidence battered cumulatively by a decade of eventually unpopular governments under the three bores, Bolger, Shipley and Clark, none of whom have inspirational qualities.
It is successive political rot and not just the present government's decay that has contributed to the sense of futility and frustration progressive New Zealanders feel.
It is still not too late for New Zealand to follow the upward path of Wisconsin under its reformist governor Tommy Thompson in restructuring a disintegrating welfare juggernaut into a thriving small economy. Continued reform aimed at freeing up the private sector comprehensively and eliminating welfare for the able-bodied of working age could see the necessary shift of the population into real jobs that produce widely dispersed economic prosperity.
At that point people might question why New Zealand would want to cosy up to Australia. We could do better to synthesise the effects of union progressively than actually unite to begin with in search of them.
So long as the marginal cost of doing business in New Zealand is significantly lower than in Australia, we might not need to surrender wholly to the beer-and-barbie charms of the hunk next door.
If New Zealand unites with Australia in various ways, it must be for long-term strategic reasons and not because of myopic gripes and grudges.
Currency union with Australia sounds good on the face of it but could cost us the better choice of adopting the greenback as our currency, which would place our monetary management under the US Federal Reserve.
The Cullen proposal of a Clayton's co-citizenship to save New Zealand money on its welfare bills is a non-starter. The Australians will want a higher price if they are to subsidise New Zealand, such as our becoming an Australian state which their confederation law allows.
Then we would lose our own independent trade, defence and foreign policy options. Canberra would call the shots, which could be a slight improvement on Wellington if it meant our own politicians were banished to the Australian desert.
A key reform that keeps getting missed is the change to the share dividend taxation regime under which New Zealand's imputation credits and Australian franks are not mutually recognised transtasman, leading to double taxation of dividend income. Ironing out this problem could free up capital flows between the two countries.
If the Australians will not budge, New Zealand should unilaterally announce it will recognise tax deductibility of franks, which should encourage kiwi investment flows into Australia and earn this country more foreign exchange by way of dividends.
A contingent economic benefit would be that local equity investment would have to offer terms at least as good as can be found in Australia to woo investor support, which would raise the quality of equity here.
Transtasman sharemarket union would be a positive step but the NZSE may be flatfooted anyway as internet technology and Australian investment firms setting up shop here herd Kiwis' investment dollars across the ditch and into the waiting arms of the Australian Stock Exchange.
The great success of AMP's Winz fund shows many New Zealanders recognise the need to get their funds invested overseas sharemarkets, in relation to which fund the NZSE is no more than a convenient flea market for transacting units. The ASX would do just as well for that purpose. Winz represents a vote of confidence in overseas equities, not the local sharemarket.
New Zealand investors will need to look offshore much more until this economy is reformed sufficiently to improve its risk and return characteristics.
Right now New Zealand is going the wrong way. Any country that destroys its best to serve its least is doomed.
New Zealand's most promising companies and individuals are leaving in pursuit of better offshore opportunities presented by the post-communist outside world.
Even ex-communist Russia has just introduced a flat income tax rate of 13% to increase state revenues, lower tax evasion and reduce foreign debt, while our own proto-Stalinist Labour-Alliance soviet has imposed a 39% shakedown tax on those who might otherwise build local capital through savings or increase employment by consumption.
Envy breeds poverty when it becomes state policy.
As envy rules the roost, New Zealand investors will lead the exodus of people and capital abroad to new prospects and get their money offshore, if not themselves.
It is then encouraging to look across the Tasman at an informative sharemarket well served by multiple listings and various sectoral indices designed to track aggregate business fortunes selectively by industry.
This week two such indices are considered with some technical indicators derived from them.
Chart 1 shows the Australian Stock Exchange's gold index. This graph was mistakenly omitted from last week's column. Gold has had a hard time for some years but if the ASX index is anything to go by there is upturn in the offing.
The index has a 40-day exponential moving average plotted across it. That the index has lifted above its average suggests momentum favours continuation of gold stock uptrend.
Chart 2 shows the price rate-of-change (ROC) of the gold index. This measure is plotted around a 40-day basis, meaning it expresses current price as a percentage change on the price 40 days previously.
On a 40-day ROC basis the gold index has been picking up speed by moving into positive territory.
The ASX Asian listings index is depicted in chart 3. This sectoral measure appears gloomy and tracks beneath its 40 day average.
Concerns about a New Zealand-style currency collapse dog a number of Asian countries. Reforms some of these countries undertook after the 1997 Asian economic crisis were merely cosmetic, beneath which chronic bad debt problems and weak commercial law subverted by corrupt cronyism and misplaced nationalism have not been addressed with sufficient surgical rigour. Western capital is ill-advised to seek a home in such countries yet.
The ROC graph (chart 4) for the ASX Asian index bears out the poor showing of the index itself. Percentage price change started to lift for a time recently but since then progress has broken down.
The ASX sectoral indices, when subjected to technical analysis, become useful guides to the parts of the Australian sharemarket in which investors should go hunting.
Right now gold stocks appear interesting while Asian listings seem unappealing.

How to Spot an AI-Generated Photo
It's getting harder and harder to figure out what's real and what isn't – but there are some key ways you can determine whether a face on the internet belongs to a real person (at least for now)
It's getting harder and harder to figure out what's real and what isn't – but there are some key ways you can determine whether a face on the internet belongs to a real person (at least for now)
A good filter subtly smooths out an image, and maybe brightens it slightly. Like a good concealer, it doesn't do much; it does just enough.
Gone are the days when you had to manually scan through hundreds of photos to find that one shot of you and your best friend that eludes you.
Here's a way to add a gentle enhancement, but a fun one to have in your arsenal.
People joke that all anyone care about on dating apps is the photos, and it's kind of true. But you're not only being judged on a hotness scale—folks are trying to sense of you as a person without reading your bio.
Each weekly session isn't a photography class, but more like a project to get you out in the world and thinking about what you're taking pictures of.
If you use Instagram, chances are you've already started to see your friends posting collages of their "top 9" photos of the year.
Think of the Windows app PhotoMove as a lifesaver for your messy archive of pictures
Flickr isn't going away, but a lot of your photos will be if you don't follow its new limitations: 1,000 photos.
Most of us forget about all of our selfies, food shots, and random photos shortly after we post them to Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook, et al. But your phone doesn't.
Night/Dark modes are easier on your eyes and your device's battery, and frankly just look better in many cases.
When we mentioned last week that you should screenshot your boarding pass and other important travel documents, several of you chimed in with tips on real-world things to photograph as well. Get snapping!
Figuring out when magic hour is, especially when you're travelling, can sometimes be a bit of a challenge.
Depending on how you transfer your photographs from your iPhone to your Windows system, you might be stuck with a ton of HEICs that your favourite photo-editing tool can't handle.
WinX MediaTrans is an iPhone manager designed to make things simpler for Windows users, and one of its many features is a photo transfer tool that lets you skip iTunes altogether.
To request your data package, you'll start by taking the unorthodox step of putting your phone down.

During the diagnostic process we take the time to look "upstream" for the source of the patient's symptoms. We consider the complex web of interactions in a patient's history, genetic makeup, physiology, and lifestyle that can lead to illness.
We integrate traditional Western medical practices with what are sometimes considered "alternative" or "integrative" medicine. When appropriate, we prescribe pharmaceutical medications to alleviate symptoms. Then we work with our patients to create wellness through nutrition, diet, and exercise; use of the latest laboratory testing and other diagnostic techniques; and prescribed botanical medicines, supplements, therapeutic diets, detoxification programs, or stress-management techniques.

The Philadelphia Eagles bolstered their already-fearsome defensive line Wednesday, reportedly agreeing to terms on a trade that will send Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett to Philly.
Bennett had been mentioned in various trade rumors earlier in the week, and several teams made pushes to acquire the three-time Pro Bowler. Included on that list, according to ESPN's Dianna Russini, was the team Philadelphia defeated in Super Bowl LII — the New England Patriots.
Pass rush is one of the Patriots' biggest areas of need entering 2018, as they never sufficiently replaced Chris Long, Jabaal Sheard and Rob Ninkovich following their departures last offseason. It would not be surprising to see New England address the position early in the 2018 NFL Draft.
The Patriots employed Bennett's brother, tight end Martellus Bennett, last season, but they are releasing him, ESPN's Field Yates reported Wednesday, citing a league source. Martellus Bennett had a $2 million option bonus due March 16, and releasing him frees up cap space for the Patriots.
ESPN's Josina Anderson was the first to report news of the Bennett trade. Philadelphia reportedly will send a 2018 fifth-round draft pick and wide receiver Marcus Johnson to Seattle in exchange for Bennett and a seventh-rounder.
Bennett played in all 16 games for the Seahawks this season, tallying 8 1/2 sacks, 24 quarterback hits and 14 tackles for loss.

2016 marks the 90th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest reigning monarch. To thank her for her years of service, The Scout Association recently took park in the Queen's official Patron's Lunch and Parade and our very own Lizzie Blount was given the special opportunity to go – a huge honour considering only 100 scout leaders in the whole of the UK were invited!
The Patron's Lunch and Parade took place on Sunday 12th June and The Mall in St James' Park was transformed into the largest ever street party to celebrate the Queen's patronage of over 600 charities and organisations.
Lizzie has been a member of The Scout Association since the age of 11 and is now a leader (or Akela as it is known in the scouting world) to the children of the Horsham Network Group. After seeing that The Scouts Association were calling out for 100 leaders to take part in the parade, Lizzie was put forward and out of the thousands of leaders thought to have entered she was lucky enough to be chosen!
Commenting on her amazing experience, Lizzie said:
"On Sunday 12th June, I was given the opportunity of a lifetime to represent The Scout Association in the Queen's 90th Birthday Patron's Lunch Parade. Not only was it amazing to be part of such a grand event but it was lovely to meet so many other Scouts and patron charities from across the UK.
"The highlight of the day was getting to stand in front of her Majesty in the Royal box and watch the Royal Academy of Dance and Darcey Bussell perform the finale. I encourage anyone in scouting who gets an opportunity like this in the future to grab it with both hands!"

Abstract content
With annually increasing anthropogenic carbon emissions, the commitment to climate change and its impacts continues to grow. A policy-relevant metric for this growth is the mitigation delay sensitivity (MDS), measuring the additional commitment per decade until emissions start to decrease. For the peak temperature increase ΔT, MDS can be estimated analytically using idealized emission scenarios (Allen and Stocker, 2014; Stocker, 2013). Here, we use an Earth System Model of Intermediate Complexity to evaluate the MDS of ΔT, steric sea level rise (SSLR), and two ocean acidification impacts following Steinacher et al. (2013). We examine the dependance of the MDS on the rate of increase (r) and subsequent decrease (s) in annual emissions, for three different equilibrium climate sensitivities (ECS) of 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 K. The modeled MDS is in good agreement with analytical estimates for ΔT and SSLR, except for scenarios with very high cumulative emissions. For standard parameters (ECS = 3.0 K, r = 2% and s ranging from 5% down to 0.5%), MDS amounts to 0.3-0.7 K/decade for ΔT and 7-20 cm/decade for SSLR by 3000 AD. With regard to ocean acidification, we find that partial Aragonite undersaturation of the Southern Ocean surface (by 2100 AD) may be avoided with sufficiently early and stringent mitigation. MDS is 15-17% of the Southern Ocean area per decade for standard parameters, but for s>3% no undersaturation occurs if emissions start to decrease before 2030. Further loss of strongly supersaturated ocean surface areas (associated with coral reef habitats) is virtually unavoidable, but can be substantially reduced by mitigation. For standard parameters, we are already committed to a loss of roughly 30-90% of these areas by 2100 AD, even with immediate mitigation (with respect to preindustrial); MDS amounts to an additional loss of 22-66% of the remaining area per decade.

Do ENSO modeling discrepancies affect the climate-carbon feedback?

Abstract content
The El-Niño/Southern Oscillation controls most of global climate variability on inter-annual time-scales. In particular, ENSO affects temperature and precipitation patterns in South America and Southeast Asia, although its influence extends to remote regions and latitudes.
ENSO is also known to play an important role in the carbon-cycle, influencing a large fraction of variability in atmospheric CO2 growth rate, mainly due to its impact on terrestrial ecosystems in the Southern Hemisphere. During El-Niño events, lower than average precipitation and warmer temperatures are registered in most of northern and central South America, South Africa and most of Australia, leading to reduced CO2 uptake by vegetation, and to increased fire activity. During the cold phases (La-Niña), the patterns are approximately reversed and the land-sink is enhanced.
Although Earth-System Models (ESMs) in CMIP5 do include representation of the ocean-atmosphere coupling processes that produce ENSO, they still present difficulties in modeling some of the most relevant features of the phenomenon, such as the temporal evolution and recurrence periods of warm and cold phases .
It has been shown that the difference between model estimates of future CO2 concentration are related to their biases in representing present atmospheric CO2. Moreover, the larger disagreements of future CO2 uptake are due to uncertainty about the future response of the land-sink to climate change. It has been further shown that part of the uncertainties in future estimates of CO2 storage on terrestrial ecosystems are related to the differences in the climate forcing from the global circulation models (GCMs).
Here we investigate whether the discrepancies between observations and modeled ENSO may explain biases in the modeled present land-sink in CMIP5 ESMs. We evaluate the performance of ESMs in reproducing, for the period 1959-2011, a set of temporal features, such as the intensity, spatial configuration, and spectral properties of ENSO. Subsequently, the ability of ESMs to reproduce the global land-sink strength and variability was evaluated and compared to the relationship between the modeled ENSO and variability in the modeled land-sink. We find that biases in the land-sink are related to the way ESMs simulate the response of terrestrial ecosystems to ENSO variability and that this, in turn, is mainly dependent on the spectral properties of the modeled ENSO. The ESMs that mis-represent the peak periodicity of ENSO in the 3-7 years band tend to present larger errors in the modeled land-sink characteristics. The nature of this relationship between ENSO discrepancies and land-sink biases was studied by evaluating the influence of discrepancies in ENSO frequency on temperature and precipitation patterns within each model.
The analysis was further extended to the future RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios, by evaluating the influence of the discrepancies of the present terrestrial CO2 uptake on the future land-sink and the role played by ENSO in these discrepancies.

Abstract content
During transient climate change, the ocean heat uptake efficiency, quantified by the ratio between the rate of ocean heat uptake N and surface global-mean temperature change DT, can quantitatively measure how effectively the heat is vertically transported in the deeper ocean, thus moderating surface transient change. Among models of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) framework, the spread in the values of k varies by about a factor of 2. The spread in k affects the model spread in projections of ocean heat uptake and thermal expansion, therefore contributing to the uncertainty in model future projections of transient climate change. We investigate potential sources of model spread in kappa by using a set of 23 CMIP models with CO2 increasing at a rate of 1% per year. In the set of models we analyse, in line with previous studies, the models with the strongest AMOC have the strongest CO2-induced AMOC reduction. We find that the models with the strongest AMOC, and consequently the models with the strongest AMOC reduction, have the strongest ocean heat uptake efficiency. Despite the strong correlation with AMOC, the largest portion of the ocean heat uptake efficiency and of its spread comes from the Southern Ocean. By further analysing the detailed process-based heat budgets in three models, HadGEM2, GFDL-ESM2M and MPIESM-LR, which have k values from the low, middle and high part of the kappa spread, we find that the spread in these three models mainly arises from changes in advection. The dominant part of the advective ocean heat uptake takes place in the Southern Ocean. We explore potential physical mechanisms that link the Southern Ocean advective heat uptake, hence the Southern Ocean overturning, with the AMOC and the ocean heat uptake efficiency.

Abstract content
Forests in western North America provide critical economic and environmental services including watershed protection, timber production, and carbon sequestration. Recently this region has experienced widespread forest mortality attributed to droughts, fires, and regional warming. Forest mortality rates doubled in the Pacific Northwest between 1990 and 2010 with bark beetles killing trees across 11 million hectares in B.C and the western U.S. The complex interactions among climate, ecosystem response, and economic factors govern the impacts these stressors will have on terrestrial ecosystems in the future. To examine how major forests will function under future climatic and land use regimes we couple an improved forest mortality model to NCARs Community Land Model (CLM4.5) incorporating a predictive model of mountain pine beetle outbreaks and a forest product economic model. The economic model estimates the values of private forest investment, wood products, recreation, and water. Annual harvest levels, silvicultural investments, and forest management strategies feedback into CLM. This methodology will elucidate feedbacks among climate, land use, forest ecosystems, carbon sequestration and ecosystem services. To assess uncertainty in the simulated forest response to climate change a dynamic vegetation model (TRIFFID operating within the Hadley Centre Earth System Model) is used to generate a super-ensemble of simulations using crowd sourced computing (climateprediction.net). This novel form of evaluating intrinsic variability allows for thorough investigation of model sensitivity to parameterization. Outcomes of this work will provide policy makers and resource managers with tools for developing adaptive strategies for responding to projected warming, drought, insects, and economic factors.

Abstract content
This paper deals with a mathematical models of the vegetation growth in the marshes of the Gulf of Mexico. It is a spatial-temporal model of multi-species competition presented in the form of the system of partial differential equations. Analysis of the behavior of such a system is studied through simulation and visualization tools. The objective of the study is to find the impact of fresh water releases and precipitations on the vegetation cover of marshes so it can be used for future preservation of the marsh ecological system.
Coastal marshes are important ecosystems that provide many benefits to human health and well-being including: protecting the inland areas from storm surge, storing water, removing nutrients that flow in from watersheds, and providing nursery habitat for key commercial and recreational fisheries. Yet, marshes are under extreme pressure from development and 50% of the marshes nationwide have disappeared since the founding of the United States.
The Texas coast is flat, hot, and windy; which makes coastal marshes very susceptible to effects of climate change and water resource development. Climate change can have three effects: sea-level rise, water cycle alterations, and temperature alterations. The main effects will be to drown marshes during rising water levels or dry them out as evapotranspiration rates increase during droughts. Water resource development has decreased water delivery to marshes in the Nueces Delta by 45% over the last 40 years, which has led to marsh degradation.
There is a need to understand the dynamics and the interactive roles of climate and water cycle changes in order to predict changes in salt marshes in the future. This information is critical for resource management. However, few tools exist to forecast effects of human activities on marsh function. Results and models of this ongoing research could be extended to coastal estuaries in other regions of the world.

LORAIN, Ohio — Eight people were pulled to safety Wednesday afternoon after their boat, a 36 foot catamaran, capsized on Lake Erie.
According to officials, the call for help came in shortly after 5 p.m. for an area about five miles north of the Lorain Harbor.
Vermilion police say their marine patrol boat assisted the Coast Guard and deputies from the Lorain County Sheriff's Office in getting the people safely out of the water.
Officials say none of the people on board the boat were wearing life jackets.
All eight boaters were taken to the Lorain U.S. Coast Guard station for treatment for minor injuries. All were cleared and released without requiring hospitalization.

If you're still wondering where you should go on holiday this summer, that's a sign that you should do something different. One thing that more and more people are now choosing to do is something active. Rather than sitting on a beach, you could go hiking, camping or biking through a rugged and beautiful landscape. In truth, there are so many different types of active holiday, so it'll be up to you to explore them. But here's why you should at least consider one.
It'll Change Things Up a Little
Changing things up can be really healthy for you if you're willing to do it. If you're used to going to the same location and doing the same things, it can be pretty boring. Getting back to nature and doing something active and physical instead can be really refreshing and exactly what you need.
You'll Avoid That Holiday Fitness Slump
Many people come back from their summer holiday hating themselves and wishing they hadn't ate all that food and drank all that alcohol. If you do something active instead of doing the typical relaxing holiday stuff, you won't have to put yourself through that unhelpful fitness slump. That's got to be a good thing, and it's one reason to consider this kind of holiday.
You Can Explore Amazing Natural Locations You've Never Visited Before
The world is your oyster, and there is so much out there for you to do and see. If you've never been to a place that offers the chance to explore on foot or by bike, then you're probably missing out on a lot. You can go camping out in the wild and set up under an 4WD Supacentre awning when you need shelter and a place to sit and eat with your fellow travellers. It'll be a lot of fun.
It'll Save You a Lot of Money
When you rely on nature and do things that are free, you'll obviously save a lot of money. Most activities cost money, but if you want to set up a tent and go hiking in some beautiful locations, you won't have to spend very much money at all. If you don't have the money to throw at a holiday this year, this could be the ideal solution for you.
You Can Take the Dog
It's never fun saying goodbye to your pets and taking them to a kennel to be looked after before you head off on holiday. It's something that you can avoid if you stick to nature and do something like camping. Your dog will be able to come with you and have all the fun you have. It's definitely something to consider if you're a dog owner.
An active holiday will help you to have a good time, without leaving you with that guilty feeling that you so often get when you know that you've been a bit too lazy and relaxed. If the things mentioned above sound appealing to you, this is probably the kind of trip you should take this year.

Blue Ribbon Bait & Tackle Pro Staff
We are incredibly proud to have the following individuals represent Blue Ribbon Bait & Tackle as members of our 2017 Pro Staff:
Jake Nelson
Jake is a muskie, ruffed grouse, bear, and turkey hunting fanatic. He has been a guide for 17 years, has written outdoor articles, been on outdoor tv and radio shows and has loved every second of it.
Growing up in central Minnesota and Northern Wisconsin, Jake feels lucky to have experienced so many great things involving the outdoors. He has also fished in three different countries and hunted or fished in 20 different states.
Jake takes great pleasure in helping his clients succeed in their outdoor adventures. He has a vast knowledge of the various species in Wisconsin and loves to share that information with others.
Travis Hultgren
Assistant Manager, Buyer, and Pro Staff Member, Travis has been fishing muskies and other game fish in Minnesota and Wisconsin for more than twenty years. When asked how he feels about having Travis on-board with Blue Ribbon, Josh says, "Finding Travis was like finding a 55+" musky on your favorite lake or river!"
Travis sets the bar for staff members. His incredible enthusiasm, coupled with his farm-grown, friendly personality make him easy to talk to, and you'll appreciate his natural ability to teach you how to become a better fisherman. He has placed in multiple tournaments and placed first in three, the latest being the 2011 George Wahl Memorial Musky Tournament. Travis also hand-ties and assembles some awesome lures as Owner and Manufacturer of Musky Mafia Tackle. Once you meet Travis, you will know why Blue Ribbon Bait & Tackle is so happy to have him on our staff.
Chad Mitchell Peterson
Chad Mitchell-Peterson has been fishing for more than 30 years and is in pursuit of fish year-round. When not working, Chad is either punching holes in the ice, seeking great winter panfish and walleye action, or on the open water in pursuit of walleye, bass & musky.
Chad caught his first musky in 1988 and over the past decade has devoted his time primarily to chasing muskies from early spring through December. Chad has found great success in landing many big fish from across the country and attributes his success to paying attention to details, hard work, and the tools/baits available at Blue Ribbon Bait & Tackle.
In recent years, Chad's musky fishing has evolved to include competitive musky angling and with great success. Chad has placed in or around the top 10 in many of the tournaments he has fished, including the most recent honor in claiming the 2012 PMTT Top Gun Team of the Year 1st place Champion.
Joe Hennessey
Joe's roots in fishing date way back to an Old Town Canoe and his dad teaching him and his brother to fish for bass and northerns on the Yellow River and various small lakes in Wisconsin. Those were the days that ignited his passion for fishing. Joe fished solely from the old canoe until his early 20s, and believes that being confined to these small puddles may be the link to his love for the small hidden muskie gems of Wisconsin. Eventually, his brother-in-law introduced him to muskie fishing, where his passion for fishing evolved into an obsession.
Joe's other passion is story telling. He states that a picture can tell a thousand words, but why not relive those moments? He now films, edits, and produces muskie videos through his company Team Predator Nation, made up of himself and his 3 closest friends. Joe sees muskie fishing as more than just putting a fish in the net or how big it is. It's the story and the details that make a fish a trophy.
You can mainly find Joe on metro lakes and if you can't, he's probably got his cameras rolling with his old man on some little lake you've never heard of, somewhere in his homeland, Wisconsin.

Scott King
Scott enjoys fishing in northern Wisconsin, Mille Lacs, the St. Croix, and various other metro waters. He has fished for trophy bass (both largemouth and smallmouth) for the past decade, participating in several bass tournament circuits from 2001−2006. He's also fished muskies for nearly 30 years.
Ice fishing four or five days a week for crappies and walleyes on the St. Croix has given Scott his winter fix since 1998.
Another of Scott's specialties within fishing is youth education. He relates well with kids, and has helped with several kids tournaments and derbies with the Cub Scouts.
Scott also enjoys writing, and has a few fishing-related articles under his belt, which include publications in Fish and Game Finder Magazine and Muskie Hunter.
Matt Gunderman
It all started for Matt when he was 8 years old, dock hopping with a 6 ft muskie rod and a Jitter Bug in northern Wisconsin.
Matt's father introduced him to the outdoors at an early age and it has been a way of life for him ever since. His patience and persistence for muskie fishing was noticed by close family friends and they adopted him into the sport. That turned into exploring the midwest and chasing muskies through every river and into every lake.
Exploring new water and having success where other people are not willing to go is what he finds most enjoyable. For Matt, muskie fishing is more than a hobby---it is something he absolutely has to do, and is when he feels the most comfortable and happy.
Matt also enjoys making fishing videos so people can get a better understanding of why musky anglers are so passionate about this sport.

The Lightner Museum is located near Casa de Solana Bed and Breakfast in St. Augustine's historic district. The Museum, housed in the former Alcazar Hotel, is just a five minute stroll away from our bed and breakfast on Aviles Street. The Alcazar, built at the height of the Gilded Age, provides the perfect setting for Lightner's eclectic collection of fine and decorative art from that era. The Museum's exhibits include Tiffany glass, paintings, sculpture, furniture, and curios. A music room is home to a collection of antique mechanical musical instruments such as player pianos that are demonstrated twice each day.
In October, 2018, Promenade the Alcazar will mark the 130th anniversary of the Alcazar Hotel and the 70th anniversary of the Lightner Museum. New exhibits will highlight items in the museum's permanent collection that have not been displayed in the recent past. In addition to the Museum itself, the grounds include a lovely courtyard garden designed for the enjoyment of the guests of the Alcazar. The Museum website has a brief video illustrating the Museum's exterior and garden.

From time to time, an industry or subject inspires us to create a best-of list. These are sites that produce out of this world coverage in a crowded arena. In case you've missed some of these, you can find them here. If you think your site should be considered, give us a holler and tell us why.
As designer Miuccia Prada once said, "What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language."
Whether someone has an active interest in fashion or not, it's a constant part of life and choosing an outfit each day is an act of self-expression.
Fashion also is a big industry. Really big. According to FashionUnited, the global fashion industry is valued at $3 trillion. That's two percent of the world's gross domestic product.
So with fall fashion weeks beginning to ramp up and an industry that's constantly changing and adapting to consumer trends, we want to recognize these eight sites that make sure readers are on top of the latest fashion news.
1. Vogue
This list wouldn't be complete without the publication that many consider to be the fashion bible. Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour has said, "'Vogue' is the best of everything that fashion can offer, and I think we point the way. We are, you know, a glamorous girlfriend."
Stories cover fashion trends, profiles on style icons and trendsetters, as well as a weekly Best Dressed list. News from fashion weeks around the world keep readers informed on the latest collections.
Vogue also hosts the annual Met Gala, which is basically the fashion equivalent of the Oscars, so make sure to look out for this event coverage in May of each year.

An adjustable bed is a lot more than simply a luxurious bed frame. Electrical beds allow users to fall asleep at semi-elevated levels that align one's body in a position of least potential to deal with gravity. There are many health benefits that be a consequence of this position, including a decline in snoring, acid ref lux, muscle tension, and arthritic pain.
Based on studies which have been conducted, there are many purposes of these high-tech beds to provide safe and effective healing benefits. Because of these studies, adjustable beds are actually commonly affecting healthcare facilities like hospitals and elderly care facilities.
Health Benefits of Sitting Up: Resting in the upright position may also help people who have gastroesophageal re flux disease (GERD). The raised position could make it tougher for stomach content circulation back in the esophagus.
Furthermore, these beds could also correct snoring problems. When we go to rest, the tongue is likely to relax and blocks the pharyngeal opening rendering it hard for air circulation freely. This causes a vibration in the tissue that produces a heavy snoring sound. Because adjustable beds could be raised, the tongue may be put time for a neutral position to remove snoring.
Resting inside Trendelenburg Position: If a patient will go into shock, the entire body of an adjustable bed could possibly be tilted using the head part less than the foot end by about 15 to 30 degrees. This floods blood towards the chest and head areas, increasing oxygen and nutrient flow for the brain to effectively combat shock.
The Therapeutic Effects Of An Adjustable Bed
The benefits one could attain from an adjustable bed are derived primarily from the device's power to change shape. Both the head and foot end with the bed might be either raised or lowered, helping individuals to adjust their sleeping position in such a way providing you with maximum comfort.
In a medical context, the ability of these unique beds to be raised or lowered delivers additional benefits which help patients to recover from surgical procedures quickly and comfortably. Some of those benefits include:
Resting in an Upright Position: Adjustable beds may be manipulated in order that the upper portion from the bed could be raised as much as 90 degrees. This bed position could help increase maximal lung expansion for patients that have difficulty breathing. This is accomplished through redistributing the extra weight of one's body so less pressure is exerted on the lungs and ribcage.
The Head Flat / Foot Elevated Position: Abed configured while using head portion flat however the foot portion elevated will assist those folks who suffer from a problem using the cardiovascular and circulatory systems. The Heat Flat/ Foot Elevated position helps by encouraging blood to return for the heart quicker.
Fluids may cease to flow and gather within the extremities when the patient just isn't sleeping with the feet elevated, leading to edema. Elevating the low body while leaving the pinnacle and the body flat brings blood time for the heart with all the help of gravity, assisting to increase circulation overall.
Buying a bed will come into two very main factors – size and comfort. The size of the bed is a simple key to work with because there is almost no room for ambiguity. The reason for this can be that the size is usually non-negotiable – it has to become adequate to never just fit the bedroom but to adjust to the person who is certainly going to get deploying it. But the comfort factor is incredibly subjective and so there are numerous choices that could be very puzzling.
Enhanced Comfort and Rest: There is no doubt that electrical beds, and particularly beds with massage features, are manufactured while using comfort with the user at heart. Rest and sleep is an essential part of setting up a healthy medical recovery, which beds deliver unparalleled quality of both rest and sleep.
Adjustable beds assist patients in dealing with surgical procedures by positioning the body at specific angles that promote circulation, reduce stress, and increase tissue regeneration. Adjustable hospital beds have a long time tradition of growing both quality and effectiveness of recovery time. These beds are undeniably an indispensable object to the welfare and advantage of many patients.
When selecting a bed according to its comfort levels you are able to consider adjustable beds that may be manipulated for the needs and preferences from the person who definitely are using it. You can browse online to see the specifications in the various types of adjustable beds that can be found within the market. Based on this research you'll be able to start to choose the one most suited to your needs.
Also, you should do not forget that you will see a set-up cost involved therefore that must definitely be factored into your budget. If you buy it for the internet then you'll get yourself a lot of really attractive deals and many companies even throw in a totally free set-up option. This could allow you to create a better purchase.
You must be sure you affix a low cost how much you will be able to invest. A lot of these beds have features like independent or dual massaging options or could be completely lacking it. These features may ultimately affect the price of your purchase.

Starting off
I have wanted to become a translator for a long, long time, but besides putting words on a page, I really had very little idea of what being a translator entailed. After graduating from University I was eager to enter the translation industry, but getting a foot in the door was proving to be extremely difficult.
Making the next move
After four years at University I was full of knowledge, but lacking in experience. Finding a job in the translation industry felt virtually impossible considering many translators are freelance and working from home. Without a reputation in the translation world, I didn't really have a leg to stand on. That's when I considered doing an internship. Unfortunately, very few translation companies offer internships, but I managed to find one with
TTC wetranslate.
Interning at TTC wetranslate not only gave me the opportunity to understand more about becoming a translator, but it also gave me the skills to pursue that career if I so wish. The TTC team were so helpful and friendly. They taught me how projects are managed, how to use CAT tools, the importance of quality checking and the signs of great translator.
The majority of the things I learnt at TTC would have been impossible for me to have learnt on my own. The great thing about doing an internship was that I was learning as well as working- there wasn't the pressure of working in a full-time job, but the knowledge I gained was invaluable. Experience is the key to doing any job well, and for this I am so grateful to TTC for taking me on. Without having completed an internship, I have no idea how I would have entered the industry- the guidance I have received has benefited me greatly.
I would definitely urge anyone to complete an internship- it will not be a decision that you regret!

Sadism and Masochism: The Psychology of Hatred and Cruelty - Vol. 1
Sadism and Masochism: The Psychology of Hatred and Cruelty - Vol. 1
Orthodox "psychoanalysis" has surrendered itself almost entirely to metaphysical speculation. The practicing physician who reads its works obtains but a negative value from them. He is more confused than enlightened. The attempts to explain the various disorders of the instincts and emotions which afflict the human mind through the theories of the libido and the dragging in of the "birth trauma" may be looked upon as having failed.
In contrast to the "medical fantasts," I confine myself to the clear and unequivocal results of my investigation. I do not claim that I have completely solved the perplexing problem of sadomasochism. But I hope that I have come a good bit on the way. I am a foe of mystic speculation and hate constructions which have arisen at the parliamentary table. For me science and clarity are identical concepts. Science is not the work of fantasy, but the confirmation of facts.
The present volume was originally planned to embrace a larger material, but was later reduced. While the nonanalytic reader may complain of the "wearisome" length of my case histories, the working analyst will want actually detailed analyses. I have therefore to satisfy both desires. I have tried to reproduce as exactly as possible my analyses with limitation of the secondary material and especially to present the analytic discoveries in the process of their coming to light. The literature concerning sadomasochistic disorders is extraordinarily abundant. But it consists always of descriptive works; only meager reference is made to psychogenesis and character development, influence of environment and social conditions; for the most part these are quite neglected. I have sought in this study to give my readers an insight into the origin of such a paraphilia. The results obtained, which often lead to new conclusions, show the great advance of scientific knowledge through the analytic technic.
