Hart won a coveted competition to design an ensemble of sculptures depicting The Creation on the façade of Washington National Cathedral. According to Hart, his 13-year masterpiece is a "single expression of creation." It is the metamorphosis of divine spirit and energy. The human figures emerge from chaos, caught in the moment of eternal transformation; the majesty and mystery of divine force in a state of becoming.

The BEST road trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound
Disclosure: This blog may contain affiliate links. But dont worry, this is at no extra cost to you and we only recommend products or services we know and love!
Most visitors make the trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound during a vacation in New Zealand. This blog will outline an ideal Milford Sound itinerary on a trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound, including where to stop and what to do!
The Perfect Trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound
One of the most visited places from Queenstown is Milford Sound. In fact, some might even say it is more popular than Queenstown itself. However, regardless of this, it's safe to say that a trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound is high on everyone's list of things to do in New Zealand.
I have been lucky enough to visit Milford Sound three times from Queenstown and during these visits have explored many of the different places along the way – some that took my breath away and others not so much.
Most visitors, however, only get one chance. So I decided to write this guide to the perfect trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound.
This blog will help you plan your own trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound by outlining what I consider to be an ideal Milford Sound itinerary!
Staying in Milford Sound
In my opinion, the only way to truly explore the spectacular stops in Fiordland National Park on your way from Queenstown to Milford Sound is to spend a night in Milford. Without stopping, the journey to Milford Sound is 4 hours.
That makes a round trip 8 hours (maybe more depending on weather and road conditions)! Staying the night will give you plenty of time to stop and check out the places mentioned in this blog and properly explore Milford Sound.
One of only two accommodation options in Milford Sound is the Milford Sound Lodge. The Milford Sound Lodge is located only 2 minutes from Milford Sound. Rooms here are not cheap, so instead, I recommend taking your car or campervan and getting a powered site. On my last trip to Milford, this is what Bailey and I did and found it to be the most affordable, but still comfortable, option.
The second accommodation option is on an overnight cruise. I can't recommend this enough, however, I understand it may be out of some visitors price range as they certainly aren't cheep. You can check prices here on Booking.com or on Viator here!

Road Trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound Ideal Itinerary
The times mentioned below are just guides and you can fit in lunch or snack breaks anywhere you choose. This day still gives you plenty of time to make it to Milford Sound before sunset.
1. 6:30 am – Leave Queenstown.
For this journey, it is important to leave before 7 am. Not only does this give you more time to explore but it will ensure you beat some 20 buses that leave Queenstown every morning. Getting stuck behind them could slow your journey down a lot.
2. 8 am – Stop in Mossburn for fuel
This is a rather funny place to see spectacular things, but Mossburn may surprise you! This place is always around 20-30 cents per liter of fuel cheaper than Te Anau and Queenstown.
If you live in Queenstown (like I do), cheap fuel is a pretty spectacular site to see! This is the best place to fuel up before heading to Milford Sound. On a full tank, you will be able to make it from Mossburn to Milford Sound and back again (fuel up again on your way out!)
3. 10 am – Visit Mirror Lakes
After another 2 hours of driving through Te Anau and into Fiordland National Park, you will drive by (on your left) Mirror Lakes. On a calm day, the lakes here reflect the mountains that surround them almost flawlessly. Even if it's cloudy this is still a great stop and it only takes 15 minutes!
Mirror Lakes is very clearly signposted and you can't miss it!
4. 11 am – Lake Marian
There are two options for the 11 am slot so read below for the other hike you can do on the road to Milford Sound.
Only a short 30 km drive from Mirror Lakes is the Lake Marian Track carpark. The carpark is actually located off Hollyford Road so you will need to turn off here to get to the carpark. The turnoff is really well signposted so you won't miss it. Once you have turned off the car park is 2 minutes up the road and again is signposted.
Lake Marian is one of the most beautiful alpine lakes I have seen in New Zealand. For this reason, I find this to be a must-see place during your trip from Queenstown to Milford Sound.
The trail is not short and if you're reasonably fit I would allow 3 hours to walk there, relax, and then walk back. This may sound like a lot of effort, but trust me, it's so worth it!
You can read our detailed guide on the Lake Marian walk here!
11 am – Key Summit
The Key Summit track starts from the Routeburn Trail carpark around a 20 minutes' drive from Mirror Lakes. There is a small carpark on the side of the main road where the track begins and it is well signposted.
The Key Summit is actually part of the Routeburn Track and takes you high above the Southern Alps for a 360-degree view of Fiordland National Park.
The hike is also around 3 hours return but this activity is only good on a clear or semi-clear day. If Fiordland National Park is covered in clouds you won't see much from the top, but if it is clear you will be rewarded with incredible views!
I would still say Lake Marian is my preferred option, but this is also another choice. If you really love hiking and have the time and energy, do both!
5. 3 pm – The Chasm
The Chasm is located only 10km from Milford Sound and is the closest attraction. The Chasm is a waterfall that has carved its way through thick rock and left a rather neat rock formation behind. At the waterfall, there is a bridge that allows you to walk right over the top of the falls and get an amazing view from above.
The walk to the waterfall is only 5 minutes and there is plenty of parking. The car park is well signposted too.
6. 4 pm – Arrive at the Milford Sound Lodge
If you want to make your experience even better then book a Milford Sound overnight cruise to finish off this epic day the best way we know how!
Any time after 4 pm you will arrive at Milford Sound. You may arrive much later if you stopped for lunch or at additional places, but don't worry, in the summer it doesn't get dark until after 8 pm! Now you can check into the Milford Sound Lodge, have a bite to eat and head to the foreshore for sunset.
Sunset is one of the most peaceful times at Milford Sound as all the tourists have left you will almost have the place to yourself!
The next day you will have the whole day the explore Milford Sound. Some of the best ways are on a scenic or nature boat cruise as well as a kayaking trip. There are also a few hikes around Milford Sound as well as a water taxi that takes you to Lady Bowen Falls.
Since you have already stopped at many of the best stops on the way to Milford, on this day you can spend most of the day at Milford Soun! If you leave for Queenstown in the afternoon you will be back before dark. Allow 4 hours to drive from Milford Sound to Queenstown without any stops.
We have many more blogs written about Milford Sound, check them all out here!

Tips on Surviving Your First Year Abroad
Moving abroad is something most people only dream of, so when it actually happens the focus tends to be on the move itself, finding somewhere to live, and settling in. But what happens beyond that initial stage?
If you're anything like me, I had a few goals when I moved abroad: learn more about the culture, travel throughout Europe, and gain some international work experience. But there were also other parts that I was less sure about – like making friends, how my relationships at home would be impacted, and if I would become out of the loop of what was going on in the United States and my local area.
In the end, I survived my first year abroad – and I know you can too. Here are tips on what helped me make it through.

Dental veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots placed in your jawbone. In regards to pricing, there is a lot of aspects that have to be taken into consideration. With that being said, to get more information about pricing you would need to be evaluated by a doctor.
Few years back I lost a tooth on my upper jaw more towards the back. There couple more teeth behind it, and one is my wisdom tooth. Would orthodontics help diminish the gap in between? And how effective would this procedure be?
Dr Answer:In some cases, it is possible to move the back teeth more towards the front but you would need to be evaluated by the doctor in person. Single jaw orthodontics is possible in certain cases.

Lisbon gets ready to host the Sustainable Energy for All Forum
April 20, 2018: In just under two weeks, the Sustainable Energy for All Forum will return and for the first time be hosted in Portugal.
The Forum, to be held in Lisbon on May 2 and 3, will this year be under the theme of "Leaving no one behind" and assess progress on Sustainable Development Goal 7 – ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.
António Luís Guerra Nunes Mexia, Chair of the Administrative Board of Sustainable Energy for All and CEO of the Portuguese utility company Energias de Portugal (EDP), said:
"This Forum is an opportunity to openly discuss how we can - through several initiatives around the world - address the challenges we are currently facing in the areas of energy access, energy efficiency, and renewable energy.
"We must work together to achieve the targets of the Paris Climate Agreement and join forces to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goal of attaining universal access to reliable, sustainable and modern energy sources by 2030.
"This is the moment to turn words into action and ensure that nations, citizens and the various economic sectors work together to provide a better future for all. This has been one of EDP's key drivers in the last decade and will continue to be so. Hence the importance of, and pride in, the position I took at SEforALL a year ago. My goal is to actively contribute to laying the foundations of the fairer and more sustainable world we all aspire to - a world in which access to energy plays a crucial role."
Registration is still open to attend the Forum. Confirm your place by registering here.

Featured Article
Tuon Athaem Kore Paendrag is the Daughter of the Nine Moons, the second and favorite daughter of the Empress of the Seanchan empire. She is 19 years old and described as being dark skinned, petite, with a heart-shaped face, large brown eyes, and full lips. Her personal banner is two gold lions harnessed to an ancient war-cart. Tuon was first mentioned in The Great Hunt, when High Lord Turak identified her as standing highest of the Empress' children in terms of favor. She is the known as the Daughter of the Nine Moons, the title taken by the heir to the Seanchan empire, and makes her first appearance in the series in Book 9 (Winter's Heart), where she docks in Ebou Dar. It is here among the city's royal palace that Tuon first meets Mat when he barges in on a meeting between her and Tylin. She examines Mat thoroughly and seems to be very interested in the signet ring with the fox and ravens in a crescent shape on it in particular. Throughout the rest of the novel it seems that she takes great care to be wherever Mat is and based upon an earlier conversation between Tuon and Anath, her Truthspeaker, about a damane 's telling of her future, many speculate that that foretelling has to do with Mat, one begins to see why. She also offers to first buy Mat, and then his ashandarei. When Mat is about to escape with Amathera and the Aes Sedai made prisoners by the Seanchan, Tuon intercedes and they struggle, but Noal Charin holds her. She is named Daughter of the Nine Moons by Egeanin causing Mat to speak aloud (three times) that she is his wife, which in turn cause Tuon to smile. (more...)

To begin, the message in-short here is:
- Some believe turning is possible and some don't.
- You can't be turned by being bitten.
- There are several cases where "turning" could be used to mislabel one's perception of what's really happening
- There may be at least one theory that could be True Turning.
And especially keep in mind here – If turning is something you're waiting for then you're likely going to wait a long time and should probably look for a better hobby and not give up on the rest of your life just yet. It is not worth the risk, and while argued to be possible, it is HIGHLY unlikely to be done successfully if at all.
Is generally defined as the act of changing one individual into the same thing as the parent or original thing. (I.E. a vampire turns a non-vampire INTO another vampire)
Turning is an incredibly controversial topic.
For vampires and werewolves of fantasy and fiction, the most common method of turning is through a bite, for werewolves scratches can also trigger one to turn.
– What is it specifically that causes one to turn?
Your answer is as good as mine. Some claim it to be a virus, a venom or poison that causes some sort of infection. This then (as my guess would be) mutates the DNA of the human victim and transforms them into the same species as the "parent" creature.
In nature, there is no such thing. Many species have venom. Many species also cause infection via bacteria or viruses in their saliva (mosquitos and ticks for examples). Some species, like the Komodo Dragon, rely on both venom and bacteria to kill their prey. These methods are for killing prey for food, not to create more of it's kind.
Some conditions, carried and caused by animals can cause strange thoughts and behavior which may lead to a conclusion of turning. However; there is no actual change.
Examples for conditions that cause such symptoms are (but are not limted to)
is spread by infected saliva that enters the body through a bite or broken skin. The virus travels from the wound to the brain, where it causes swelling, or inflammation.Symptoms may include:
- Drooling
- Convulsions
- Exaggerated sensation at the bite site
- Excitability
- Loss of feeling in an area of the body
- Loss of muscle function
- Low-grade fever
- Muscle spasms
- Numbness and tingling
- Pain at the site of the bite
- Restlessness
- Swallowing difficulty (drinking causes spasms of the voice box)
Rabies is transmitted through biting, and the dementia and aggression of late-stage rabies can make people behave like wild animals.http://blogs.static.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/36662.html
Mad Cow Disease
symptoms related to the nervous system:
- Depression
- Loss of Coordination
- Dementia
Before the development of modern technology and medicine, the conclusion of turning may have been taken for nearly Any unusual ailment, from infections disease to defects and disorder or any other such disease which may cause a change in physical or mental condition (bleeding from the mouth, disformation of the teeth/gums, changes/deterioration in brain structure and/or function, irrational changes in behavior, etc)
Infectious Disease
After an individual died of disease (Tuberculosis or Flu for example), a relative (who had frequent contact with the deceased while alive) would then develop symptoms of the same disease, and it would be concluded that the previously deceased relative had come back and begun feeding on the sickening individual
Defect or Disorder
Any abnormal appearance of the body might have caused thoughts of turning or possession; birth defects, hypertricosis (excessive body hair), etc.
The point is, there is currently no known animal, substance or organism that can or does change a human's (or any animal's) DNA into that of a whole new species, stops the process of aging and causes one to be able to survive off blood alone.
There are a number of cases of animals infecting people either with an ailment intended to kill prey for food or by an involuntary naturally occurring virus or bacteria.
These cases and occurrences in nature are not true turning as it is described in fiction.
There are a number of speculations..
Here are some possible explanations for a perceived "turning":
- Awakening; It is commonly believed that Real vampires are born, not made. If one is born, not knowing they are vampire, then later awakens to their vampiric nature, this individual could easily come to the conclusion/belief that they were in some way "turned" into a vampire.
- Awakenings can also be triggered other vampires, and experiences in life. This could lead one into the belief of a sire in the sense of Turning.
- Psuedo-Vampirism could be considered turning as one who does not identify the need nor as a vampire develops vampiric need after having been drained to the point that their body must take from outside them-self in order to replenish their energy. Pseudo-Vampirism is temporary but can be mis-interpreted as a turning.
Remember, This is JUST speculation and nothing conclusive.
Some believe turning to be possible when speaking of real vampires following are some theories (speculations and hypotheses):
Damage to energy body
This would only be possible as an energy/soul-related condition (Psychic, maybe Hybrid). This leaves out the possibility of Turning (in this manner) someone into a blood-needing vampire (Sanguinarian).
I believe it would have to involve enough draining of the target to first induce Psuedo-Vampirism and somehow managing to damage the energy body enough so that the system can not naturally return to normal.
– This would involve
Extreme draining of the victim (remember, symptoms of severe energy drain are similar to symptoms of severe blood loss), while simultaneously maintaining their energy body and keeping it from collapsing (for want of a better term) and their physical body from dying.
Some believe that an exchange of blood between vampire and non-vampire or a feeding (from non-vampire, OR from vampire, depending on who you ask) of a large quantity (unspecified) of blood would somehow induce Vampirism.
Some also believe in a sort of trigger found in Sanguinarian blood which may "turn" a non-Vampire if they have certain genetic predisposition for it.
– This could involve (more information may be needed)
Something within blood or saliva (carried in bodily fluids) that would induce the need for physical blood (or blood component, whatever you believe). What exactly could do this evades me currently, perhaps some sort of virus or disease which would break down blood or blood components, causing one to feel a need/desire to ingest such to replensish their loss.
A studied and confirmed genetic "switch" triggered by (More information needed)
For more on"Genetic Switches": http://science.howstuffworks.com/life/genetic/genes-turned-off-on.htm | http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/body/gene-switches.html | https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/04/120411131911.htm
Metaphysical Constructs (more information needed)
Some claim that through the use of Psionic constructs, one can inhibit or altogether change a person's energy system. In this way, some believe it is possible to create a Vampiric need for energy in an otherwise/previously healthy indivdiual.
IF the aforementioned methods were to be attempted, whether legitimate turning or not…
My understanding of the physical and the metaphysical body is that they are closely linked. What effects one, often effects the other. To damage the energy body so much as to cripple it could likely traumatize the physical body.
– To what extent?
That can't be said for sure, but equal and opposite reaction (cripple or kill the heart chakra and related organs will be effected, as an example) makes sense to me, and to say it would also cripple the physical counterparts and in turn further stress, cripple or kill the body seems about right.
There is no known difference between a Real Vampire's blood and that of a non-vampire. Real Vampires are human. Exchanging of blood would have no effect in regards to turning.
Drinking large quantities could not only cause the "feeder" to become ill (if one is not used to blood in any quantity especially) to their stomach, but also the loss of blood could make the individual who is donating become ill and at risk of potentially fatal complications.
ANY exchange of bodily fluids (give and/or take) risks serious disease such as (but not limited to) HIV/AIDs, Hepatitis B & C.
**This article is NOT to encourage one to attempt turning or look for being turned. This article is strictly here as mix of information and personal speculation based on (minimum) of 7 years listening/reading the experiences, information and thoughts of others to explain the reality of turning. DO NOT start asking to be turned! DO NOT use this article outside of it's intended purpose as described.**
(Part B – Otherkin & Therianthropy)
I feel that a majority of my previously composed article also applies to turning in regards to Otherkin & Therianthropy.
For simplicity's sake, Please understand that in this article, I will be using "Otherkin" as an umbrella term to refer to both self-identifying Therians and Otherkin. I am not asking everyone to assimilate this usage as part of their vocabulary, but understand that this is how I will use it here.
To Summarize:
In Fantasy
(This includes fictional works, some myth/legend/folklore and other entertainment media)
In fantasy, a turning often occurs when one creature injures a human being and infects the host in some form, which then triggers an, often physical, transformation of species from human to the original parent-creature.
In Nature
(Known & Confirmed reality)
There is NO creature, substance or entity which is capable of changing a born-human (or other animal) into a different species. There are such things as viruses which do attack a host-cell's DNA, but this happens on a cellular level, does not occur to the effect of creating a new species. (See: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/03/070330100654.htm ).
There are conditions, illness, defects and other ailments which, at one time, could have been miss-identified as a Turning. This, often, is the source or "grain of truth" in most myth and legends. Unfortunately for proponents of these myths, legends and folklore; A majority of these have since been explained and/or debunked by modern technologies (of Science and Medicine).
Otherkin are, physically, human. For this reason, there is no evidence to suggest any human, biting or scratching another human, would have the ability to turn a human into something nonhuman.
Therian & Otherkin Turning
As proposed in my previous article there may be a few cases where one who is, or is not, already Otherkin could mis-identify their experience as a turning.
Below are are some of these such possible explanations:
- Awakening; It is commonly believed that Otherkin are born, not made. If one is born, not already understanding that they are different, then later in life come to recognize, or "discover", their non-human identity (which may or may not include related characteristics and/or behaviors) this individual could possibly come to the conclusion/belief that they were in some way "turned" into whatever creature they find they identify as.
- Awakenings can also be triggered by interaction with like-kin and awoken/aware individuals. It is also believed that a traumatic event in life, could possibly trigger an awakening. Any of these could lead one into the belief of a sire in the sense of Turning.
- Many Otherkin do not experience an awakening of any sort.
- Sympathetic "Pains", Auto-Mimicry and Mirroring – The mind is a powerful thing. Many people will find, without explanation, that if they are around certain other individuals for any length of time (often, but always longer periods and/or at regular/repeated intervals) they will seem to develop likenesses.
This is, while it can be at-will (often children will mimic their parents, on purpose, during play and later integrate such behaviors into regular behaviors), but this can also appear involuntary or subconscious. This can also happen without direct-interactions. A person with a strong affinity for a mythological creature or animal, could also develop, in this way, perceived characteristics (whether they simply be personified/symbolic traits, or actual traits of the creature/animal) associated with such.
- Whether it be like sympathy pains, a case of true empathy or this similar voluntary/involuntary mimicry and mirroring; This occurrence could lead a non-Otherkin into the belief that they have become an Otherkin.
- Clinical Lycanthropy is a psychological condition in which a person experiences delusions and hallucinations leading one into the belief that they can physically become a non-human animal. Lycanthropy, although the word focuses on wolf-experiences – lycos – wolf, anthorpos – man – http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Lycanthrope), it is not limited to wolves alone.
Arguments & Proposals for Turning
Some believe that turning is possible.
Listed below are some proposed methods of turning, and arguments as to why it could be real.
Psychological Otherkin/Therians
- It is possible, for a traumatic, or similar event, to subconsciously trigger the creation of a, previously absent, identity. Unfortunately this is not a true turning as it is not likely the result of one Therian or Otherkin creating another.
Multiples – Walk-Ins
- It is believed that at any time, one soul can enter and co-inhabit a body which already hosts a primary soul. This does sound similar to possession, but unlike the typical understanding of possessions, this does not always, nor does it have to involve, an eviction of the primary/original/host soul. This however, is also not true turning, as it is a separate individual (the entering/invading soul) that could identify as non-human, thus not actually changing the host/primary.
- Some believe in the ability to fuse or otherwise consume Walk-Ins. Some believe that in consuming or fusing with these other entities, the process in-turn grants the individual, memories, sensations and other individual experiences that the previous entity may have experienced (up until the point it was consumed). This also may not be considered true turning because it does not actually change the Primary/Original entity into they same type of entity/species/creature as the consumed type of entity/species/creature but only allows the original access to, and deep understanding of the existence of the consumed/destroyed entity; However, some claim/believe that this actually can change the original/host into a the species/creature/type of entity that the other entity was…

Usually, when applications haven't been updated in a long time, users can probably expect them to slowly fade out of existence, especially when it's a Google app as they tend to do away with things that aren't working for them, getting enough interaction from users, or seeing a boost in popularity. This was the fate of Google's My Tracks application that they previously announced will be shutting down as of April 30th of this year. One might have expected the same thing to happen to My Maps, an application with a similar name and a slightly similar function. That isn't the case, however, as Google has just gone through updating the My Maps app with a whole bunch of changes, including a brand new user interface for some heavy beautification.
If you've never used My Maps before there is a good chance you never knew what the old UI looked like, and if that's the case you may not appreciate the new UI as much. Regardless of that, the app has been redesigned from the ground up (which includes the rework of the app's look to include material design) to offer a much-improved experience to its users, both new and existing. Beyond the new UI style Google has added a bunch of other changes too.
The first of these changes can be experienced as soon as you open up the app, as Google now presents you with a little walkthrough guide on using the app and its different features. This should help all users become acquainted with the changes and speed up the process of onboarding while also making it simpler. Google also states that performance has been improved as well which is going to allow users to interact with the app much faster than before, and in this day and age when most people's lives are hectic and filled with things to do, a speedy experience is a huge benefit. Part of the My Maps function is creating your own maps and adding pins for saved locations wherever you want, and the app now allows you to get directions to any of the saved locations you've accumulated. You can also explore images from street view within the app, and it's now possible to view any images or videos which have been added from the web. If you'd like to give My Maps a try, you can pick it up from the Play Store as the update is live for everyone.

According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, major depressive disorders are increasing each year in the county and affect more women than men. Symptoms related to depression include anxiety, poor attention and concentration, memory issues, and sleep disturbances. The multitude of related symptoms suggested to UCLA researchers that depression may be related to a malfunction between brain networks linking different sections of the brain. On February 27, they announced that they had determined that depressed individuals suffer from increased connections between brain areas—in a word, they are hyperconnected. The results of their findings were published online in the journal PLos One.
The researchers reported that their study was the largest of its kind to date; it evaluated the functional connections of the brain in 121 adults diagnosed with a major depressive disorder (MDD). They measured the synchronization of electrical signals from the brain (brain waves) in order to evaluate networks connecting different brain regions. "The brain must be able to regulate its connections to function properly," noted the study's first author, Dr. Andrew Leuchter, a professor of psychiatry at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA. He added, "The brain must be able to first synchronize, and then later desynchronize, different areas in order to react, regulate mood, learn and solve problems." He explained that the depressed brain maintains its ability to form functional connections; however, it loses the ability to turn these connections off. He noted that the inability to control how different brain areas work together might explain the underlying mechanisms of depression.
Some previous studies have suggested that abnormal patterns of connections might be present in MDD, the researchers employed a new method called "weighted network analysis" to examine overall brain connections. They found that the depressed individuals exhibited increased synchronization across all frequencies of electrical activity; they noted that this indicated dysfunction in many different brain networks. Dr. Leuchter explained that brain activity in some of these networks regulates the release of serotonin and other brain chemicals that help control mood. He noted, "The area of the brain that showed the greatest degree of abnormal connections was the prefrontal cortex, which is heavily involved in regulating mood and solving problems… When brain systems lose their flexibility in controlling connections, they may not be able to adapt to change.
He concluded, "[An] important question is, to what extent do abnormal rhythms drive the abnormal brain chemistry that we see in depression? We have known for some time that antidepressant medications alter the electrical rhythms of the brain at the same time that levels of brain chemicals like serotonin are changing. It is possible that a primary effect of antidepressant treatment is to 'repair' the brain's electrical connections and that normalizing brain connectivity is a key step in recovery from depression. That will be the next step in our research."

Emergency Cash Advance "Next Pay Now Mailing Address". In this day and age, many families are not really aware of the financial avenues available to them.

Directions: Take Highway 26 to Highway 101 and go South for Cannon Beach. Follow 101 South for about 12 miles to the Hug Point state recreation area (there are signs).
This is an easy beach walk to a small but pretty waterfall. It would be a nice addition to any hike you're doing in the area, or if you are short on time. This is also a nice stop for people with younger children.
Warning: You need to be aware of the tide. This waterfall is ONLY accessible at low tide. Please check a tide table before starting this hike.
From the parking area take the staircase down to the beach and head North. As you come to a sandstone point make sure you watch the tide as you round the corner and start to see the waterfall. You'll pass along a cave in the sandstone and pass a cove type area before you reach the waterfall. It's just a quick quarter mile from the parking area.
The waterfall is only about 15 feet high but it's quite pretty with the colors of the stone around it. There are also nearby caves to explore and you can walk up on top of the waterfall. When you are done head back out the way you came in.
Distance: .5 mile
Elevation: Minimal elevation gain/loss, just the staircase down to the beach.
Difficulty: Easy
Pet Friendly: Yes
Good For: All ages
Bathrooms: Yes at the parking area
Parking Fee: No
Seasons: All
Popular: Yes
Overall: A pretty little waterfall that is only viewable at low tide.

As we reflect on the ways Deerfield helped us grow into our adult selves, many of us will choose to make a gift in honor of our 50th reunion.
Whatever your financial circumstances, please take time to explore your options for making a special 50th reunion gift. Just as our experiences were unique, our gifts can reflect our individuality. Please review the many different ways to give (below), and know that gifts of all types (including documented bequest intentions) will count toward our 50th grand total.
Together we can build a meaningful 50th Reunion Gift to Deerfield.
Support our 50th Reunion Class Project!
First impressions are often lasting ones, and the Civil War Monument is one of the first things everyone sees when they arrive at Deerfield Academy. The prominent position of the Monument in front of the Main School Building was a familiar reminder to every student hurrying to class or the dining hall from the dorms that line the east side of Old Main Street. While we had to endure the harsh New England winters for a short time in the grand scheme of things, the Monument was not so fortunate over the course of nearly 150 years, and the Town removed the soldier at the Academy's request for safety reasons in 2015. Presented with the opportunity to join with the Town to restore the Monument, the Reunion Committee agreed, on behalf of the Class, to raise the $125,000 needed to replace the sandstone soldier with an identical replica cast in bronze. Our decision has the full support of the Academy, the Town and the Deerfield Historical Commission.
Have an impact today:
Annual Fund
Alumni, parents, and friends contribute nearly $7 million every year to Deerfield's Annual Fund, providing a critical 10% of the Academy's operating budget, and ensuring the very finest secondary school education for today's students.

- Direct up to $100,000 in current dollars from your IRA to Deerfield, rather than having to declare it at taxable income. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for instructions.
Consider planned giving options at Deerfield
- Bequests: Name Deerfield as a beneficiary in your will, trust, or IRA. 50th Reunion gift credit is available if you provide documentation of your bequest intention.
- Retirement Accounts: Tax-deferred retirement accounts such as IRAs can be highly taxable to your heirs. Non-profits like Deerfield can receive your IRA assets tax-free, upon your death. 50th Reunion gift credit is available if you provide documentation of your beneficiary designation.
- Charitable Trusts: Transfer appreciated assets (including real estate or privately held stock) to a charitable remainder trust to support Deerfield, realize significant tax savings, and direct a stream of annual payments to yourself or someone else.
- Gift Annuities: Fixed annual payments for life, guaranteed by Deerfield. Rates are based on age. Approximately 30% of the gift value is likely to be tax deductible.
- Life Insurance: Whole life policies (with cash value) can make great charitable gifts.

This and ThatFebruary 27th, 2011 at 05:47 pm
I opened an ING account this last week. My current savings was only making .15% APY. I�ve been eyeing ING for a long time because it is so clean and simple and not filled with advertising every time I log in. Plus at 1%, it seems like it would benefit me in the long run.
My goal is to get my EF $3000 into the ING account. That way it is more out of sight and out of mind. Right now, whenever I log on to do my checking, or my husband logs on to do his checking, we see our normal savings account. The money in it calls out to me �pay off debt, pay off debt� over and over. But I know better, I do better with an EF.
Plus, I might have to pay a chunk in federal taxes, if Turbo Tax is right. Taxes are going to the accountant on Monday, so I�ll find out in a week or two if it was even close. I am hoping it was way off, but am prepared if it was dead-on. And ready to change withholdings if it was right.
Anyways, onto the EoM-
February goals didn�t turn out so well due to my large pay-cut. Everything was scaled down. Plus I�m back up to 2 or 3 sodas a day. Whoops.
So� March Goals:
1) If I owe taxes, pay it. If I don�t owe that much, pay off DH Student Loan 2.
2) Transfer $1000 to ING EF from savings.
3) All leftover to savings.

Why The Scale is not enough
Why The scale is not enough proof in your fitness journey
Weight loss goals are significant. Your goals of wearing a particular size or seeing a specific number on the scale are also important. If it comes to losing weight, the scale can be a good gauge of progress, particularly if you have much weight to lose. However, if you place too much importance on your weight and not enough on your body structure (the ratio of fat to lean muscle), you are only getting half the story. Plus, fearing your weigh-in or obsessing over the number on the scale is unproductive and can lead to unhealthy behaviours such as starving yourself. Losing pounds does not always mean losing fat.
Here are reasons why the scale is not enough proof of progress in your weight loss.
The scale does not tell you how much fat you have.
Your scale does exactly what it is supposed to; it tells you how much you weigh. However, in addition to measuring your weight, the scale weighs bone, water, muscle, organs, and unassimilated food. When the readings on the scale goes up or down, it does not represent only fat loss or muscle gain. It measures changes in glycogen (stored) and water, and it even measures how much that breakfast of you ate weighs.
The scale cannot tell if you have gained muscle.
A pound of muscle is like a brick, small and compact. When we eat carbohydrates, they are deposited as glycogen in different places within our body. Those relevant to changes in body-weight are liver and muscle storage, while storage in the liver does not differ too much from individual to individual, muscle glycogen storage depends on one's body weight, body fat percentage, and the level of activity and other factors. Based on all available study, 350-750g is the consensus range for muscle glycogen storage. Research has shown that we can store as high as 15g/kg of body weight (6.8g/pound) which ends up being more than 750g. When you gain muscle and lose fat, your body gets slimmer and tighter. Building muscle also makes it feasible to drop clothing sizes without a big change in weight. Maybe after a 90-day fitness program, the scale says you lost 7 pounds, which may not sound like much. However, what if you lost 12 pounds of fat and gained 5 lbs of muscle? That is a remarkable improvement in your body composition, but you would not know it if you only used your normal bathroom scale to track your progress
You did not gain 7 pounds of fat overnight.
You may step on the scale one day and shriek in disbelief because the number is seven digits higher than it was the previous day. Except you ate an extra 17,500 calories the previous day, you did not gain fat (a pint of fat is equal to 3,500 calories). Your scale is reading water, stored carbohydrates, and food. Also, cheap bathroom scales may have a reading error, giving slightly different readings even when you are at the same weight.
Your body's water levels are always changing.
The human body is one incredibly complicated piece of machinery. Things are going out, coming in, changing, and dissolving all the time. As a result, your weight may vary wildly over the course of a 24-48hours period. The scale varies depending on how much water you drink, your salt intake, how much you sweat, and how many carbohydrates you consume. An average person can see a daily variation in water weight of about 2 pounds, without any changes to diet or exercise habits. These variations do not signify fat loss, and watching the scale move up and down every day can be frustrating for many dieters.
In Conclusion, any weight loss or fitness program is incomplete without the timely measurements to observe your Improvement. The only way to know if your health and fitness schedule is successful is by keeping track of your measurements, weight, and body fat levels on a regular basis.

Every Tuesday and Thursday morning at AiG, we have a special time with the entire staff to start off the work day. We often have a guest pastor or other Christian leader share devotional thoughts with our staff—it's in an effort to start off the day on an encouraging note.
Recently, we were blessed with some special music from AiG friends and volunteers Robb and Kathy Blanchette. They travel around the country in their RV and give several gospel concerts each year, and we have really grown to appreciate their musical talent and their passion for the Lord. (Listen to samples of their music.)
While with us at AiG last week, Robb and Kathy were also volunteering their time in the office and our warehouse.
The Blanchettes have some open concert dates in June when they will be making a loop through Illinois, Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Wisconsin—perhaps your church will consider hosting these fine musicians in June if it's located along their route. Contact them about their availability at RobbAndKathy.com.
Here is a photo of the three of us taken after their 25-minute "mini" concert for our staff and volunteers—I am holding some of their CDs, which my wife Mally and I will enjoy listening to.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,

GILBERT, ARIZ. – Earthworks Environmental LLC has expanded its operations to Florida and added two employees at its Arizona office, Principal Cherie Koester announced.
Mark Hubbard will run the Orlando/Tampa/Jackson, Fla., office as a Lead Compliance Manager. Hubbard will be responsible for Storm Water Pollution Prevention (SWPP) manual preparation, notice of intent/notice of termination filing, SWPP program management, site inspections, permit compliance assistance, construction general permit (GCP) applications, street sweeping, and site clean-up.
"We are thrilled about our service expansion into Florida," Koester said. "Mark has exemplary skills in regulatory interpretation, consulting, and customer service. He will be a great addition to the Earthworks Environmental family."
Hubbard will provide National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System/SWPP consulting services in Florida for commercial and residential development. It is one of the services Earthworks offers in Arizona.
According to Koester, the need is even greater in Florida due to the wetlands, sensitive waters, and massive growth of development. The amount of rain Florida receives causes storm water issues.
"We expanded into Florida due to client request and will continue to do so for our clients and the continued growth of Earthworks," Koester said.
Hubbard, a native of Warwick, R.I., lives in Mesa. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from Biola University in California and a Master of Science degree in environmental management from the Fulton School of Engineering at Arizona State University.
In other personnel moves:
Earthworks Environmental services include storm water pollution prevention, dust control and construction safety compliances. The firm primarily serves land developers, vertical developers, commercial construction, and land holding companies.

Mechanical engineers' contribution to our world is all around us. From the chairs we sit on, the clothes we wear, to utilities to make our environment safe and healthy. We offer a unique learning opportunity as not only has the course been co-designed with local industry, during the course you will have the opportunity to solve problems provided by local industry. Working with your peers and other fields of engineering, you will apply the course theoretical learning to solve industry supplied work related problems, such as using Industry 4.0 technology to manufacture modular homes. You will conceive ideas to solve the problem(s), design your solution, implement your solution and test/observe your solution using the pioneering CDIO approach.
We're building a new £60m Science, Engineering, Technology and Health facility on our main campus in Canterbury, equipped with the latest technology and bespoke learning spaces for our engineering students. We're planning to open Building 2 in September 2020, with building work now well underway.
Mechanical (Building Service) Engineers contribute to the on and off-site building industry, new and refurbishment construction industry. They are responsible for a wide variety of activities with respect to the heating, water, air-conditioning, ventilation, and mechanical services implementation into a building whether the building is new or a refurbishment, traditional on-site or off-site modular build. For example, innovations that building services engineers are leading on include building integration photovoltaic glazing, and pavegen enabling the building and its users to generate electricity through window solar panels and kinetic energy harvesting flooring, also, mechanical systems such as lifts, and innovative window cleaning tracks to enable automated cleaning of windows.
"HTA's student accommodation is the tallest modular building in Europe…Projects like Apex House show the true potential of modular construction in the UK, where great design meets innovative technology"
In Kent and Medway there is growing number of large corporations developing large industrial scale build off-site manufacturing facilities that will need Mechanical (Building Services) Engineers to design and develop building services to be integrated into modular buildings. They will also design processes, operations (manual, semi-automated and automated) to implement and fit the building services in the modular build on the production line.
Building services engineers play an increasingly important role, assessing and improving energy utilisation and efficiency…No other career gives you the chance to make such a big impact on saving our planet
Building services engineers are at the forefront of developing renewable energy sources
We are offering a unique and inclusive learning opportunity with courses that have been co-designed with local industry. Working with your peers and other fields of engineering you will typically have the opportunity to take the course theoretical learning and apply it to solve industry supplied work related/work based problems. You will conceive ideas to solve the problem(s), design your solution, implement your solution and test/observe your solution: CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement and Observe). We are one of only a handful of universities in the UK to offer the pioneering CDIO international engineering education model and studying in this way offers you an authentic learning experience that will enable you to solve societal engineering challenges.

In the modules and module assessment you will need to demonstrate:
The 40 credits modules will provide you with the opportunity to work on a substantial group CDIO project typically sourced from industry. These projects will provide you with the opportunity to build your technical skills, as well as your professional practice skills. The pioneering CDIO approach is being designed to enable you to develop your creative skills in order to find solutions based on engineering science, principles and provide practical benefits to provide mechanical engineering solutions for transport to power generation industry. The industry sourced projects enable you in a group to undertake research and innovate and could have the potential to influence industry and the wider mechanical engineering community.
The Level 6 Professional Mechanical/Electrical Engineering Project module will in particular entail group and individual project work. The overall group project will be typically sourced from industry, and will require a number of individual projects to support a solution to the overall group project. Each individual project will entail a dissertation assessment. Each group will be led and managed by a Level 7 MEng student, providing peer and cross-fertilisation of learning.
Please note: progression from BEng to the MEng is an optional possibility at the end of Year 2 (Level 5) if you meet the Integrated Master's Framework criteria for progression to the Integrated Masters programme.
The difference in learning between MEng and BEng degrees in accordance to the accrediting engineering council, AHEP 3.0, is that:
MEng is an integrated four-year Masters degree course. The fourth year enables you to develop broader engineering leadership and management skills as well as advanced knowledge in a particular engineering field. Students who graduate with this level of award on professionally accredited programmes are recognised as being on track to build an engineering portfolio for a future application to become a Chartered Engineer (CEng). You will need to maintain 50% or more in each module during the first three years of undergraduate study to remain on/progress onto this course. Please note any module failure at Level 7 will result in being awarded the BEng Product Design Engineering.
BEng is a three-year degree that provides you with the knowledge and skills to become a practising engineer. Students who graduate with this level of award on professionally accredited programmes are recognised as being on track to become an Incorporated Engineer (IEng). Incorporated engineers are professional engineers who maintain and apply technology in practice. After the first 2 years of study it is possible to progress from the BEng onto the MEng programme as long as you achieve in the last academic year 50% or more in each module and you show academic progress in your learning. Alternatively upon completion of the BEng course you could complete an accredited Masters degree (MSc) or a Postgraduate Degree Apprenticeship to be on track to become a Chartered Engineer.
We are working towards professional accreditation of our engineering courses. Accredited courses are delivered to a UK recognised standard. We are consulting the accrediting bodies, IMechE, in designing our courses. This is to keep us on track for accreditation. We hope to receive accreditation by 2022. If we receive accreditation, it will apply to these courses. At present these courses do not have professional accreditation.
In 2020, we will open a major new facility for science, engineering, health and medicine, part of our £150m vision to transform our Canterbury Campus. The new building will be the main base for our Kent and Medway Engineering, Design, Growth and Enterprise (EDGE) Hub, with specialist centres across the region located alongside Engineering and Technology businesses.
This degree has been co-designed with engineering professionals and input from manufacturing, small and medium Enterprise (SME) employers of engineers, power generation, and building services/construction industries, who recruit and employ mechanical engineers. This helps to ensure that our mechanical engineering graduates meet employer needs and expectations in terms of the technical and employability skills relevant for these industries.

Frances Does Number on Nielsens
Frances is blowing out ratings in more Nielsen Media Research markets.
With the latest hurricane knocking out electricity to four million homes over the weekend, Nielsen doesn't have enough viewers reporting in to make a solid sample. So, Nielsen will report no ratings for West Palm Beach, Miami, Orlando for Saturday through at least Monday. Jacksonville and Tampa were out at least Sunday and Monday.
Nielsen said it wasn't clear that enough homes in its samples were actually back on line Tuesday and when the system will be fully restored. Fort Meyers, meanwhile, was so devastated by the previous storm, Hurricane Charley, that Nielsen hasn't been reporting local ratings there since Aug. 13.
