On Monday, July 4th the students of Summerfuel Berkeley celebrated Independence Day in America! Students celebrated on the Berkeley Marina with fireworks, tons of games, and lots of yummy food vendors!
There's no better place to celebrate the 4th than Boston- the iconic American city! Medford, of course, is a close second! At Tufts, our kids were ready for a well-deserved break! The UNO CREW dominated once again. They're stealing all the fun! The RAs put together a spectacular game night on the lawn that included all kinds of odd behavior- shaving balloons, doing the wheelbarrow and throwing wet sponges. In 100º weather that was the highlight of our day! All in all a blast! The gang finished on the Tisch Library rooftop where they watched the fireworks in the distance!
Happy birthday America!
Bonjour from RA Mimi Tohill!
Yesterday was my favorite day yet of this summer's Summerfuel in Nice program: between the first full day of classes, free (beach) time for all, and a French-American 4th of July celebration, I couldn't help but feel incredibly thankful for the lovely days, people, and opportunities in my life.
The first holiday away from home, however, is often difficult. For our American students, a celebration of Independence Day didn't feel quite as celebratory without bonfires or fireworks. Yet – with the help of a BBQ dinner, sparklers, and a rousing round of group games – everyone came together, their stampeding feet, cheers, mimes, and competitive spirits making the evening a celebratory one for all of us, American and non-American alike.
Lycée staff Yolande and Jean-Jaques grilled us up "steak haché" while students instructed professors on the proper 'American' method of creating the perfect burger. (As one RA instructed a photography professor, the key is ketchup, and lots of it.) After celebrating with sparklers, students took to the school gym to play "Never Have I Ever" and, soon afterwards, a giant competition of "Running Charades." Let me tell you, never have I ever seen a teenager so accurately mime out a Slinky as I did last night!
Frustratingly, though surely committed to the charades cause, "Team Snooki',' as led by yours truly, got stuck on the very first word: Eiffel Tower. Those who made it to the end, however, blew me away with their supreme acting skills. RA Reed led his team, Team Party In The U.S.A., to victory, then led us all to laughs and cheers with their singing of Miley Cirus's song and, soon after, their donning of items from their grab bag of prizes.
See photos below for glimpses of our lovely, French-American day of celebration!
Should you coming looking for us at Harvard Law School, you will find Summerfuel headquartered in room 312 of Hastings Hall. Three days into the program, we are seeing students who are engaged in their studies and enthused about the Cambridge environs. (Starbucks and CVS appear to be the most popular merchants, followed closely by the Harvard bookstore and various frozen yogurt vendors.)
At the moment, things are quiet at Hastings as the RA groups have ventured out on the town for their first RA Night. (Look for photos coming shortly.) The senior staff, meanwhile, is catching up on emails, enjoying a burrito from Felipe's, and making final preparations for our 4th of July events: Lauren Rollins, our academic director, is planning to paint many Summerfuel faces red, white and blue tomorrow; Vivian Wheeler, activities guru, has concocted a potent menu of field day contests, pitting house against house in the quest for Independence Day glory; and Chad Wolf, our residential czar, has found a patriotic headband to commemorate our nation's birthday.
This weekend, we head to Six Flags amusement park this Saturday, followed by our first Boston trip on Sunday, featuring such landmarks as the New England Aquarium, Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market. Look for photos from all these events coming soon!
A.J. Kohlhepp, Director
Although the students still had class today on the 4th of July holiday, the staff wanted to do something fun and interactive with the group. The students took a quiz that gave them some insight as to what kind of leader they are. Can you guess what your student scored? Were they a Gold (organized and dependable), Blue (compassionate and caring), Orange (spontaneous and active), or Green (objective and rational).
Afterwards, we did some team building with the students where they mastered the "floating hula hoop" and also figured out a way to reach their goal outside of a circle they were confined to. Check out these pictures of the campers working together! We also have videos posted to the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/AsaSummerfuelStanford

Sometimes pedals don't have to have a million buttons and switches on them to fulfil a role and frankly, sometimes the fewer knobs the better! Here's a great example of such a pedal: the OptiComp OC-5 from the US specialist audio company, BBE. The OC-5 is a new upgrade version of the best selling 'Opto Stomp', instantly recognisable by its identifiable looks: the yellow 'moustache' version, so called as it features a monocle and moustache logo on the front panel, and the original and sought after BBE Opto Stomp that had a yellow front panel and big red writing.
First of all, a bit about this type of compressor effect. The pedal is an optical or 'opto' type compressor. An optical compressor uses a small lamp or LED inside that tracks the input signal level. As you play louder the light glows brighter. Physically connected to it, a light sensitive device known as an LDR senses the brightness of the LED. This in turn controls the amount of attenuation that the compressor circuit applies to the input signal. The result is a soft limited sound at the output. Using this method of limiting, the circuit is said to be 'musical' and pleasing to the ears as the light circuit described above has a certain relaxed, less aggressive clamping effect on the resultant sound.
The all metal casing is rugged and the blue LED at the top will have you under no illusions whether or not the pedal is engaged - it's nice and bright! The connections for instrument and amplifier are metal and you have the option of running the pedal with a 9v battery or a standard boss type power supply. The power socket is sited on the top edge of the casing. Finally a heavy duty foot switch takes care of engaging the effect or switching you to a 'true hardwire bypass' when disengaged.
This pedal does a fairly admirable job and sounds good at lower and softer compression settings, though we found a 'rounding' of the overall bass tone generally. High compression settings in the studio were also handled well and at extreme settings we did get the odd bit of noise at the start of each note - but that does happen with many 'off the shelf' pedals and in any case, I don't think I'd use such a high setting on this pedal anyway. On lower threshold settings I think the pedal does a good job of rounding-off your level peaks and helps toward a punchy and more controlled sound. That's not a bad thing at all.

High End Property in Parkhurst
Every residential real estate transaction has both real and personal property. It is also possible for real property to become personal property and personal property to become real.
Real property is the land and also any improvements built upon it. In most cases it is also anything that would be considered immovable or affixed to the land; this may occur naturally or by man. Here are some examples of what is commonly referred to and considered to be real property: land, houses, trees, streams, wells, window treatments, and light fixtures, to name a few.
Personal property is just about everything else that is not considered real. For example, plants may be considered either real or personal, but those that are in pots would be personal property. All belongings in the house that are not considered a fixture are also personal and are most often not included in the residential purchase agreement. Though, there are always exceptions to the rule and anything is negotiable. Some times negotiations will include some personal property to remain in the home at the close of escrow, such as furniture.
This is an area of real estate that is not always clearly explained to the buyer and seller and it can add unnecessary tension between the buyer and seller as well as added stress to agents and other third parties involved. It is always advantageous to point out examples of real and personal property to buyers and sellers early in the relationship.

"For me, making two stops was impossible," Ferrari's Felipe Massa is quoted by Brazil's Totalrace.
According to teammate Fernando Alonso, who finished second, "I don't know how they (Lotus) did that."
Indeed, among the top six finishers, Raikkonen was the only one on a two-stop strategy.
Reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel started on pole, but 'Hungary Heidi ate the tyres', German newspaper Bild wittily surmised.
Admitted Red Bull's Dr Helmut Marko: "The tyre wear was enormous."
Australia, however, was much cooler than was expected by the European circus, and so team boss Christian Horner is looking ahead with curiosity to Malaysia.
Indeed, Kuala Lumpur should be hot this weekend, but it also could be wet.
"Let me answer with a question," said Vettel in Melbourne late on Sunday. "Have you ever been to Malaysia? It rains every day!"

A Pudelpointer is a versatile hunting dog breed from Germany. They are a pointing breed that came from a cross between the German hunting poodle (pudel) and the English Pointer. Appearance The breed weighs between 44 and 66 pounds (20 and 30 kg), stands 21 to 26 inches (53 to 66 cm) at the shoulder, and comes in liver, chestnut, and occasionally black coats. The ideal coat is harsh, wiry, and dense. They also shed very little. History In 1881, a German breeder, Baron von Zedlitz, worked on producing his ideal tracking, pointing, and retrieving gun dog, suitable for work on both land and water. From seven specific Poodles and nearly 100 different pointers, he developed the Pudelpointer. The original sire was Tell, an English Pointer belonging to Kaiser Frederick III and the original dam was a German hunting pudel named Molly who was owned by Hegewald, an author known for works on hunting dogs. The goal was to produce a dog that was willing and easy to train, intelligent, and loved water and retrieving, like the poodle, and add to that a great desire to hunt, a strong pointing instinct, and an excellent nose, like in the English Pointer, as well as being an excellent companion in the home.
The Poodle breed had much stronger genes, and so many more Pointers were used to achieve the balanced hunting dog that was desired. A mix of 11 Pudels and 80 Pointers were used during the first 30 years to achieve the desired traits and results. The breed was introduced to North America in 1956 by Bodo Winterhelt, who to this day, remains very involved in maintaining the breed standard. His Winterhelle Kennel was the foundation of the breed in North America. In 1977 Winterhelt founded the Pudelpointer Club of North America in Canada. It has never become a popular or well-known breed. However, it is slowly gaining recognition with many serious upland bird and waterfowl hunters in the U.S. and Canada. In Germany, its performance standards are its most important traits and each dog must pass a test of its field and water skills to be officially registered as a Pudelpointer. As a pet, the Pudelpointer is warm and interactive, willing to please. They mature in about 2 years both physically and mentally. They are good watchdogs and possess an intelligent approach to possible dangerous situations, preferring to evaluate before going into action and biting.

Local four top HSC results in the state
The NSW Board of Studies made the announcements yesterday.
Bridget Mulholland from Trinity Catholic College came first in dance, while fellow Trinity student India Nash came first in two courses, French Beginners and Italian Continuers.
Annabelle Elvy from Cape Byron Rudolf Steiner School came first in drama and Lars Mellick from Xavier Catholic College at Skennars Head was first in Music 1.
India, 17, who came first in two language courses, said she was shocked to have done so well.
"I really do enjoy languages," she said.
"It opens the door for you to travel and maybe work in foreign relations.
"I have travelled a fair bit and I was lucky enough to spend two months in Italy at the end of Year 10.
"I'm having a gap year and travelling through Europe, and then I'll continue to study languages at university."
Fellow Trinity student, Bridget, 18, came first in dance, and said she started dancing classical ballet when she was just four years old.
But with the start of her HSC, her attention shifted to contemporary dance.
"I was doing four classes a week, plus practising during sport, and doing work during lunchtimes," she said.
"I'm planning to go to university in Melbourne and eventually I want to study a Bachelor of Science."
Annabelle, 18, said that when she was told she'd come first in drama, she started crying.
"It was a bit awkward," she said. "I was going to go to uni, to study drama, but I didn't get in. So now I'm going to have a year off and work so that I have enough money to live, and I'll try again next year. I'll do some short films and things like that."
Lars Mellick, 18, of East Ballina, came first in the state in music.
A piano player of just "three or four years", he admitted he probably had a "bit of natural talent".
"The music course is very analytical; it's not just about performance," he said.
"I'm going to the University of Queensland to study engineering next year, but I'll always play the piano. It's a big part of who I am."
Students can access their results online or by SMS from 6am today

Happy New Year everyone!
Karen, Steven and the girls arrived from Australia on the 6th December, and life took on a different pace. We enjoyed a trip to Disneyland Paris, a few days in London, Christmas in a hotel with more of the family, a pantomime, numerous days out plus lots of time for simply catching up. Our son and daughter-in-law haven't changed a bit in the two years since we last saw them (Malaysia 2013), but the girls have changed a great deal. Zoe was five on the 21st of this month and will be going to school soon. Lilly will be four in May, and they both appeared very grown up in comparison to when we last saw them.
Knowing how arduous the journey from Australia to England is we decided to stay close to home for the first few days.
Visiting Sherborne Abbey. This is not the first time the Abbey has featured on my blog - see (The filming of Far from the madding crowd) here and (A Royal Visit) here .
Inside the Abbey
Back row L to R Terry, Karen, me, Steven. Front row L to R Zoe and Lilly
The sun came out to greet our visitors, but rain is never far away in England much to the delight of two little girls from Australia.
This and the previous photograph were taken on the site of the old railway line that used to run through Henstridge. As you can see the girls were beginning to feel the cold so it was time to hurry home and warm up.
A couple of days later and time for a trip to the City of Bath, it's getting colder now but the family are suitably dressed. Shame I didn't think to wear a hat it was pretty nippy around the ears.
Karen & Steven enjoyed a little light shopping. I don't think they intended the bags to be in the photo but Terry and I decided to keep hold of them – you can never be too careful! :-)
A Few days later it was time to catch the train to Disneyland, Paris. We spent four days at Disneyland and a further day in Paris.
Disneyland, Paris.

Thanks for your visit I hope to catch up with all my lovely blogging friends very soon.

The Majjistral Nature and History Park Visitors Centre in Għajn Tuffieħa saw the launch of Jeni Caruana's exhibition, Arbor Vitae (Tree of Life) on the 4th November.
Image above: The Olive Waltz
A sizeable number of guests – including the Hon. Owen Bonnici MP, Minister for Justice, Culture and Local Government, and the Hon. Karl Gouder MP, Opposition Spokesman for Culture – were present on the night.
Image above: The Hon. Owen Bonnici MP, Minister for Justice, Culture and Local Government and Mr Salvador Vella, Chairman of the Majjistral Park Board
Trees have always been one of Caruana's recurrent motifs, and with the Arbor Vitae collection, Caruana wanted to explore the many meanings attached to them, and how vitally important it is that we preserve, respect and protect them.
In her welcoming remarks, Simone Mizzi, Vice-President of Din l-Art Ħelwa, thanked Caruana for choosing the Majjistral Park for her exhibition, commenting that "nature is so calming and so soothing, we need it in our everyday lives. We need fresh air for healthy living and trees to keep our atmosphere clean and filter the pollution we create ourselves. Trees offer shelter not just to man, but to the small wildlife and the birds that abound in every place where they exist."
Image above: Mr Salvador Vella, Chairman of the Majjistral Park Board; Jeni Caruana; Mrs Simone Mizzi, Vice-President of Din l-Art Helwa; His Excellency, Mr Stuart Gill, British High Commissioner to Malta; and Mrs Maggie Gill
The exhibition was then officially inaugurated by His Excellency Stuart Gill, British High Commissioner to Malta. In his comments, the High Commissioner said that it was fitting that the paintings are being exhibited in an important corner of the Malta that still enjoys its natural state, and is now being revitalised. He also commented that "it is a brilliant piece of planning, given Jeni's passion for the environment, that today is the day the Paris agreement on climate change entered into force and is now part of international law."
Image above: His Excellency Mr. Stuart Gill; British High Commissioner to Malta; Jeni Caruana; Mr. Salvador Vella, Chairman of the Majjistral Park Board; and Mrs Maggie Gill
The Majjistral Nature and History Park is the first National Park in the Maltese Islands. It falls under the governance of Din l-Art Ħelwa, Nature Trust Malta, and the Gaia Foundation.
Image above: The Hon. Karl Gouder, MP, Opposition Spokesman for Culture; and Jeni Caruana
For further information, visit the Majjistral Nature and History Park website. The Arbor Vitae exhibition is open to the public daily from 10am till 3pm until the 16th December.

SFI "Krasnoselskoe"
Natural objects
State forestry institution "Krasnoselskoe". The untouched region of Belarus
If you drive off 40 km fr om Minsk, you can find still unspoilt corner of Belarusian nature with venerable forests and crystal clear rivers and lakes. It is the state forestry institution "Krasnoselskoe". It is located on the territory of Minsk, Vileyka and Logoysk districts. It consists of four forestries of Minsk forestry enterprise: Krasnoselskoe, Yanushkovichskoe, Khotenchitskoe and Rogovskoe. The SFI "Krasnoselskoe" also includes the republican landscape reserve "Kupalovsky". If the reserve covers the area of nearly 1141 hectares, the "Krasnoselskoe" is situated on 34 776 hectares. The SFI "Krasnoselskoe" was specifically created to preserve the unique nature in these picturesque areas of Minsk region, as well as for the development of hunting economy, for the optimal regulation of forest resources and wildlife.
Relax in these woods is just enjoyment and the choice for relaxation is various.

It is the reservoir Pralnya and the reservoirs of the quarry "Gajdukovka", Lake Dikoe and the lake in the village Kalachi.
All the total area of the reservoirs of the SFI "Krasnoselskoe" is about 70 hectares. And fishing here is superb. In the reservoirs, there are carp, trout, pike, crucian carp, perch, grass carp, roach… Such quantity and variety of fish is achieved by annual stocking of the reservoirs.

Destiny 2 Campaign: Shard of the Traveler
The Shard of the Traveler quest or mission becomes available when the player reaches level 12. At that point, the quest's purpose is to unlock the Sub-Class which adds new abilities. One can switch back to the original class, however, from the Character gear UI.
Warning: There is no visual signs or NPCs pointing you to this quest. You find it at level 12 by looking into the FARM map. It appears as a very large Triangle on the map. When you hover it, the quest Shard of the Traveler is displayed. Click to launch the mission. Read the transcript after the break for images and guidelines, or watch the video.
At level 12, open the Directory by holding the TAB button for 2-3 seconds until the map appears. At the top, select DESTINATIONS. Here you can view the planets. Select THE FARM (if you aren't already in the Farm).
When you are in The Farm, open the MAP by pressing TAB for 2 seconds. The large blue triangle marks the Sub-Class quest titled SHARD OF THE TRAVELER. Left-Click to select and launch the mission.
European Dead Zone
Return to the Shard of the Traveler and restore your connection to the Light.
Recommended Power: 50
Enter the Dark Forest.
Follow the pull of your artifact as it leads you into the Dark Forest.
Location: The Sludge
Ghost: This forest again… well, I can't say our last visit wasn't memorable. Let's see what we can find.
NOTE: Press TAB to open the Ghost's Nav Mode to find your destination. You will run upstream through the river for about 30 seconds. Then you will find a portal.
Ghost: Whoa! Um. Knock knock?
Explore the Dark Forest
Search the area to understand why the Light had drawn you here.
Ghost: Gotta love the ambience… Hey! Do you see that? Over there. The light.
NOTE: Whenever you see light on the ground, move toward it for the next part of the quest objectives. You are looking for holograms made of light when you step into these light zones with hovering shimmers and sparkles of light. To find the holograms, follow the small light pools on the river or the ground. These are breadcrumb marks to lead you to the next hologram.
Hologram 1: You are a Guardian of the Last City. You are the hope for humanity. Some doctrines argue that the role of a Titan is to stand in defense of the City. The Strikers see a crackling offense as the best defense. Strikers throw their bodies at incoming fire so others won't have to. It's also the most direct line to a target. Because, you see, when a Striker turns her entire body into a projectile, no one is truly safe. And at close quarters, a fist is better than any gun.
Hologram 2: As a Titan, you lead the charge. You are the first into the fray. The body is made from tiny stuff, from near-nothings. From atoms swimming through a blood of crackling sparks. Simple, eternal laws shape the universe. The largest galaxy is ruled by principles of mass and motion. Electrons are slaves to charge and to chance. And this is why the universe feels inexhaustible, eternal. The Light allows us to master charge and chance. Wielding Arc energy in their fists, Strikers become the roar of thunder, the crash of lightning.
Hologram 3: Some of the greatest Titans have defined the charge. Lord Shaxx. Saint-14. Wei Ning.
Female voice: When my Ghost found me – when I was reborn as a Titan – she found me in a desert. I had died far from civilization, far from anything I could have possibly used to defend myself. I had the armor she made me, flimsy as it was, and a thousand miles to walk to get to what she said was my new home. Of course, we ran into problems.
Clear the area.
NOTE: After the third hologram, you will engage in combat against dregs, vandals. Shoot them or punch them. Careful with the grenades they throw. I counted 16 minions and 2 Captain. Captains have a shield. You must melee-punch them to break the shield.
Use the Portal.
Once all 18 targets are death, a portal opens up. Don't forget to search the area for loot you forgot to pick up. Walk toward the portal. Even if the whole screen goes white, keep moving forward until you teleport to another location.
Explore the Dark Forest.
Continue deeper into the forest.
NOTE: You teleport into the exit of a train tunnel. The objective is to walk toward the pools of light to search for new holograms. The light pools throughout the ground are breadcrumbs to lead you to the Hologram location.
Ghost: I think these Light projections might be lessons.
Hologram 4: Bandits, first, with guns scavenged from who knows where. My second death was terrifying. But I got back up, and the night sky sparkled overhead, and the man that killed me stared aghast, and I laughed. Immortal! Me! I could do anything! So I threw myself at him. If my body couldn't be broken, then that was my greatest weapon, greater than any gun that could jam or knife that could dull. Each punch and charge and kick would only sharpen my skills. I taught the Strikers this truth. The fastest and surest way to a Guardian's victory is to rush headlong into that danger. Be unafraid. You are the lightning, and the thunder after it.
Hologram 5: With Strikers at the fore, the Red Legion cannot hope to stand against us. We are the Titans of the Last City. We are Strikers. And we will not be stopped.
Hologram 6: I hear the roar before I see him, but when I look up, I can make out a blue burst against the skyline. When he falls, he brings the sky with him. He scatters me and my squad to the wind. Leaves us dead as the moment our Ghosts found us. They bring us back, and he helps us up. Then he says one thing. He said… "Tell me what you've learned."
Pass through the portal.
Another portal has opened. Continue to explore the Dark Forest.
NOTE: Take the portal — found a few yards behind the hologram.
Clear the area.
Ghost: Another Shard of the Traveler! But we're not alone.
NOTE: This wave you will fight those flying Shank or Tracer Shank, Dregs, Vandals, and Captains. Total: 18 minions (including 2 Captains).
Commune with the Shard.
Ghost: This Shard called us here. I'm sure of it.
NOTE: Approach the tall Shard, but don't get too close to it. Move until you see the (E) onscreen and stop immediately. Then press (E) to interact.
Titan Subclass: Striker obtained.
Ghost: The Shard gave us a gift. Let's use it.
Defend the Shard.
Harness your newfound power to stand against the Fallen.
NOTE: A new event starts, and it is kinda intense. You will panic due to the sheer numbers shooting at you in plain open ground. Relax. Run to the forest and use the trees and rocks for cover. The several yellow Light pools on the ground are actually healing wells. Stand on them to auto-heal damage done to you.
You will fight dregs, wretches, captains, and resilient captains. The captains have a shield that need to be destroyed with melee-punches. The resilient Captains are more dangerous because they keep chasing you nonstop to stab you with their two-swords. The easiest way is to kill them from easy to hardest depending on proximity. Start with minions, then kill Captains, and then Resilient Captains (when appropriate).
If you aren't near a healing well, jump constantly into the air to avoid melee damage from Resilient Captains, while shooting them down; and approach the nearest healing well to stand your ground. Fastest way to kill Captains and Resilient Captains is melee-punching them while standing on Healing Wells (Boundless Light).
In total, I counted approximately 71 targets killed, but I might have missed some who died due to grenades or the Ultimate ability. There were 13 captains and 6 Resilient Captains unless I missed some. Don't chill yet… more are coming…
Ghost: I'm picking up Fallen radio chatter. They're calling reinforcements!
NOTE: A boss named Poknis, Order Captain arrives. he has some kind of fire missile cannon weapon, and teleports often. Stand on the Boundless Light (Healing Well). However, if he gets into melee range, he will knock you back away from the Boundless Light. Run to the Boundless Light asap before attacking to prevent sudden death. He has about 18 minions. As soon as you can, use your super ability to damage the boss. I managed to drop him down to half-Health.
Ghost: Incredible. If that was a test, I think we aced it.
Leave the Dark Forest.
NOTE: You don't need to do anything at this point. You are auto-teleported to The Sludge.
Ghost: I'm sure the Traveler called us to the forest deliberately. It's amazing that even a corrupted Shard can still do so much good.
MISSION END: Seconds Remaining – 10 seconds.
Change Subclass: You got a new subclass, but you can still switch back to your old one. Press F1 to open your Character screen.

You can really die of a broken heart. It has long been known that an unexpected emotional shock can provoke "broken heart syndrome" or Takotsubo syndrome. But statistics were lacking and no one had ever investigated whether an intensely happy event could give the same result.
April is off to a fantastic start for our upcoming Radiothon. Okotoks Ford,Century 21 Foothills Real Estate and United Communities have all signed on to be Health Champions for the next 3 years. There commitment to our organization helps ensure that we can continue to support the many Health & Wellness initiatives right here in the Foothills. The article in the Okotoks Western Wheel this past week talks more about the importance of this donation. Only correction is the Radiothon is April 21st starting at 5:30am on The Eagle 100.9

Roho Ya Chui arranged for me and my friend a safari to Tanzania. We wanted to see the migration in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. It was all perfect, the guide, the jeep we had just for ourselves, the lodges and camps and how close we actually got to the migration. It was fantastic! Can't wait to do my next safari!!!!!

My recent trip to Target and I decided to write a blog on my Target Finds!
So the other day I had to run into Target to pick up a wire for my son (something to do with his gaming system).
To be honest, I haven't really been shopping at Target lately for clothes as I haven't really seen anything I like (and yes, Professional Shoppers shop at Target).
As I've said before, you don't need to spend a fortune to look good.
So imagine my surprise when I went in and found like, a whole new Target!
HELLO Fashion!
I adore this look, and check out that jacket by Who What Wear for $44.99
(FYI, I did not see one piece that was over $50.00, which is pretty fantastic)!
Bold colors, sleek design, and those shoes, Fabulous!
I saw this in the Juniors section, cute, cute, cute! If you have a Junior, bring them here!
Many of the outfits were from designers I have seen before at Target such as xhilaration and Mossimo.
Only there were some new ones, such as Who What Wear. Ava & Viv and A New Day. Loving it <3
How rocking is this outfit? Right down to the pink shoes, hello #FallFashion!
Pinstripes are in, and better than ever! Totally loving this look!
Silver (banging) heels by Who What Wear, cost $37.99, silver shoes, not just for holiday parties!
For Queens carrying a little extra beauty (I detest the term "Plus Size"), Ava & Viv!
Who's a Goddess now?
Who What Wear – Dip Front Heeled Mules – $34.99 – Who wants them in their closet?
Last but not least…my absolute favorite, Who What Wear, Black Sheer Dress, $36.99!
I was truly blown away by all the magic that I saw that day.
And it wasn't just the new designers, they also redid the entire layout, very eye-catching!
So what was supposed to be a quick trip into #Target, turned into an hour of me walking around, pulling tags and taking pictures.
I saw people staring, oh well.
Oh, I was on my way back from the gym, so not exactly looking like a Professional Shopper 🙂
But hey, when the chance is there, you gotta go for it!
Till next time,
Patricia <3

All You Want Is A Hopscotch Stencil
Hopscotch is an intelligent spy thriller, revealed in 1975, which received author Brian Garfield the Edgar Award for Best Novel from the Mystery Writer's of America. Our Aberdonian friends, Donna and Graham, have as soon as once more helped us to attach with locals in a metropolis on our itinerary. Learn how to make an escape the room sport — the participant has to resolve puzzles and find clues to get out. In a few seconds we have been whisked as much as the 124th ground (453 meters) to have a nice look-out over the ever-changing vista over of the city and ocean.
Hopscotch Rug – This basic outdoor recreation is introduced indoors with the Hopscotch Rug. Hopscotch is an invite to the general public to imagine new ways to play within the city, to find new components of the neighborhood and to occupy public space. The mechanics of Hopscotch are so brilliant, forcing children to hop, jump and stop with deliberate control.
Each participant in a sport of hopscotch is equipped with a marker, which generally is a bean bag, a coin, or even a small stone. Faculty playgrounds and playground rules are undoubtedly not what they was and that is a sad reflection on us. You see them even every film or television present that comes on. Somebody within the park taking a stroll and some young person bumps into them.
A hopscotch course is created, both drawn in pavement with chalk or painted into the concrete with the help of a stencil. Once youngsters have tackled hopping, leaping comes next, which is also a giant part of Hopscotch. The cash has been paid into an company grant fund designated for Eden at Hopscotch Adoptions and will be supplied to the family committed to adopting Eden after a successful registration trip.
I, as the father or mother/authorized guardian, comply with the contest guidelines on behalf of my youngster and I consent to their participation in the contest. The Ready Child & Particular Wants Grant Fund permits Hopscotch to financially help households pursuing the adoption of kids with particular needs.

Walmart.com Bulks Up, Aims at Amazon, eBay
Wal-Mart is the world's biggest retailer, but online, it's still a relative piker. Now the company is trying to change that by opening up its Web store to other retailers–just as its biggest competitors already do.
Wal-Mart is adding three outsiders to its sales mix, which it says will add an additional one million items to its inventory, and the company plans to add more in the future. Is this a problem for either Amazon (AMZN), which features some third-party sales, or eBay (EBAY), which offers nothing but?
Maybe one day, but not in the near future. That's primarily because Wal-Mart is so far behind the big guys. The $1.7 billion Wal-Mart did in Web sales last year makes it the 13th biggest online store in the U.S. Chart via JP Morgan's Imran Khan:
And even if Wal-Mart's new partners do boost sales significantly, the ecommerce market is likely to grow even faster. Bernstein analyst Jeffrey Lindsay expects U.S. online retail to grow by $13 billion in 2010 and another $19 billion in 2011. So don't expect to see Wal-Mart's Web foes wiping their brows just yet.

1960s Mid-Mod Gem Polished and Sparkling Anew
Timeless look warms with wood
Warrandyte River House
Simple materials create the perfect backdrop for a family home. Warm wood and white walls are part of a mid-century modern aesthetic that pairs exceptionally well with art, beautiful furniture pieces and a newly refurbished skylight. It's the table setting to family dinners, entertaining friends, music and laughter.
Originally built in the 1960s, the house was designed by architect Davis S Gordon for his family, with an eye to McGlashan and Everist's award winning Heide II house built in the same decade. The latest renovation, led by Adie Courtney Architect, saw to many of the maintenance issues and fixed a lot of the incongruent alterations from over the years. Now the home is warm and inviting. Take a tour!
"When we first came across the house," explains architect Adie Courtney, "we knew that the building had good bones, plenty of potential, and a lovely mid-century aesthetic." But it wasn't all plain sailing. On the day of the first inspection, the house had been flooded the night before with all of the carpets stripped back and soaked through. "Drainage, pests, services, structure, cladding, lining and the 1980's fittings and fixtures were all needing renewal — it was a massive task. But we could see that the house had something special."
One of the home's striking features are the timber ceilings, lining the skylight shafts. Courtney describes the skylights "each with differing angles, size and shape, giving a peak view of the eucalyptus canopy above."
The retro timber look is kept contemporary with timeless decor and modern touches; like in the kitchen. You can see the extraction hood is sleek in design, and the blue grouting makes a feature of the dark colored backsplash tiles.
Given how open plan the central core of the home is, you can imagine how tricky it was to live in the house while work was taking place. But now that it's complete, the simplicity of the surfaces of wood walls, unadorned concrete, gray and white, all provide the perfect backdrop for art and living.
"We like how the concrete block walls and cedar lined ceilings run from inside to out – seamlessly cutting through the continuous floor to ceiling walls of glass. Really helps connect the interior spaces of home to the garden." — Adie Courtney Architect
Warrandyte Suroundings
"The back deck is a favourite gathering space," reveals Adie Courtney. It's a favorite because of "the splayed roof providing shelter but allowing a view up into the treetops."
Finding this 1960s gem was a treat, and it has certain received a good polish to make it shine anew. The simple timeless look with mid-century modern aesthetic has provided the perfect backdrop for pops of color in the furniture, art, and a canvas for living.

Hello All,
I am planning out my first Simulation analysis and would like to get some feedback to make sure I am going about it the right way. The frame consists of two welded frames that are bolted together. I will go through and add welds constraints to the welded frames and then add bolt connections that link the two frames together. Is there a standard bolt preload I can use? I suppose I should put something in instead of having no preload, right? I have a frame that has a central axis about which it rotates. Do I need to add the part that constrains this post to be able to create the right sleeve constraint? The frame sits on four rollers, which are not shown but they are represented by the black arrows. I suppose I need to add these to the model and provide the proper mating conditions between two round parts, no? A set of forces are applied to the frame, which are represented by the red arrows. We manually calculated these loads by using civil engineering calculations that gave us the loads from our specified wind load. The two load points are connected together by the structure that mounts to this frame. Do I need to add this structure or something that represents this structure? Or can I just constrain the movement of these points? Is there anything else I need to be cognizant of when doing this analysis? BTW, would it be inappropriate in post my results of the analysis and get people's feedback? I don't want to abuse this forum, but would love to have some hand holding as I am doing this. Thanks in advance for your help.

While waiting for photos to export and craving adventure I started Google searching local hikes in Los Angeles. I was in the middle of researching Inspiration Point in Pasadena when I stumbled upon a YouTube video featuring some abandoned gold mines in Alta Dena. The Dawn Mine hike looked promising. Plenty of trees, plants, maybe a stream (the drought is real in California,) and for the most part it's not crowded. The bonus was that at the end of the "trail" there a mine which you can walk in and explore. Granted you'll need flashlights for that.
Then I summoned a few of my fellow adventure seeking pals and off we went into the Pasadena mountains. Originally I thought this would also be a good opportunity to test out the Olympus OM-D E-M1 (I'm on a personal quest to find the perfect point and shoot,) but as it turns out this "trail" has been overtaken by nature and required a lot of crawling and climbing. I ended up making a GoPro video instead. I use the term "trail" very loosely for this hike. For the most part it is unmarked aside from a few neon orange markers or spray painted black arrows. My friends and I pointed at a few of them in the video.
Quick Facts
Length: 5-6 miles Roundtrip
Duration: 4 hours
Elevation: 1000 – 1600ft
Trailhead address: Chaney Trail, Angeles National Forest, Altadena, CA 91001
Trailhead coordinates: 34.216185, -118.146653 (34° 12′ 58.26″N 118° 08′ 47.95″W)
Trail condition: Off trail / Boulder climbing / 80% of trail shaded
Thanks for reading! I definitely recommend this hike for any weekend warrior! Just be sure you have a pair of good shoes, plenty of water, and flashlights.

Painful intercourse is termed as "dyspareunia" in the medical arena and refers to the constant or on again, off again pain in the genital area during, after or right before intercourse. If you feel that this describes you, don't worry – there are options. Speaking to a certified sexual medicine expert such as our own Dr. Somi Javaid can help get you on the right road to treatment.
Dyspareunia can be diagnosed when there is pain during penetration, newly realized pain after sex, and/or burning, aching and throbbing pain lasting long after intercourse is over. These pains can be associated with lack of proper lubrication during sex, past irritation from infections or history of surgery, past abuse, vaginismus, or congential abnormalities.
There is no need to suffer with dyspareunia alone. Let's talk and help get back to a normal and healthy sex life.

The first release in 2005 represents the basis, the fundamental of the ideology and of how ABBILDUNG will be constructed in the future: 'Dunkles Wissenschaftliches Sachverhalten.' (Translation: 'Dark Scientific Circumstances'). A foundation consisting mainly on Wittgensteinian (mainly tractatian) 'per se' non-mystic ultimate worldview, on recent math and physics discoveries that, in the end, they gradually portrays nothing but 'the nothingness of a soulless world. It is 'the way' I found to fully express myself as a graduate mathematician – ABBILDUNG represents the 'I' under empirical, emotional and logical aspect.

This is a difficult question because there seems to be an inherent contradiction within it. Those who are truly saved are also regenerated; they are new creations and the old things have passed away (2 Corinthians 5:17). Also, 1 John 2:4 says, "The one who says, 'I have come to know Him,' and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." So if someone really is born again, there will be a change within him and he will resist sin. Homosexuality is a sin (Rom. 1:26-32).
So, we must ask how someone who's truly saved can also purposely be in rebellion against God? This would not make sense. If someone was a practicing homosexual and did not consider it to be sin, and would not receive correction from the word of God, then it is most probable that the person is not truly saved.
Salvation results in a change in the person, and though we may still war with the same old sins, the fact is that we are at war with them. Our fight against such sins is one of the signs of regeneration. If there is no fight against sins, then it is a sign that someone is not really saved at all.

Part of the Lecture Notes in Applied and Computational Mechanics book series (LNACM, volume 49)
Part of the Lecture Notes in Applied and Computational Mechanics book series (LNACM, volume 49)
This book results from the authors work done on simulation based optimization problems at the Department of Mathematics, University of Trier, and reported in his postdoctoral thesis ("Habilitationsschrift") accepted by the Faculty-IV of this University in 2008. The focus of the work has been to develop mathematical methods and algorithms which lead to efficient and high performance computational techniques to solve such optimization problems in real-life applications. Systematic development of the methods and algorithms are presented here. Practical aspects of implementations are discussed at each level as the complexity of the problems increase, supporting with enough number of computational examples. It consists of two parts: first part deals with time dependent optimization problems with applications in environmental engineering and the second part deals with steady state optimization problems, in which the PDEs are solved using semi-iterative or pseudo-time-stepping techniques, with applications in aerodynamics.
This book will be useful for scientists and engineers who are looking for efficient numerical methods for PDE-constrained optimization problems. It will be helpful for graduate and Ph.D. students in applied mathematics, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering and computational engineering during their training and research. This also will provide exciting research and development areas involving realistic applications.

Traditional Publishers Release Enhanced E-books for iPhone and iPad
Scribner and Simon & Schuster Digital have released what they are calling their first-ever "enhanced e-book," Rick Perlstein's Nixonland, via Apple's iBookstore application.
The enhanced e-book [iTunes link] includes an original interview with the author and 27 historic video segments produced by CBS News embedded alongside the original text, which was first published in hardcover in May 2008. A digital version without the video is also available through Amazon's Kindle Store.
"Since the first digital books were published, many have wondered when we would be able to add to the reading experience by exploiting the full capabilities of digital media," Carolyn Reidy, president and CEO of Simon & Schuster observed. "That moment is now, and we are especially pleased that for Nixonland, our first enhanced e-book, we are able to partner with our colleagues at CBS News to offer readers a book that combines to superb effect a critically acclaimed bestselling work with the gold standard of broadcast journalism," she said.
A few other traditional publishers have produced similar kinds of e-books; Hachette released an "enriched" version of David Baldacci's latest novel in the spring, and Penguin Group published an "amplified" edition of Ken Follett's bestseller, The Pillars of the Earth, to coincide with the release of an eight-part miniseries based on the epic by Starz Entertainment. Well-known Japanese author Ryu Murakami is working with a software company to produce a musically enhanced version of his next novel, cutting his publisher of record out of the process altogether.
This is, we think, just the beginning of what could become an entirely new medium, in which texts are merely one component of a larger multimedia experience. These new kinds of e-books also give the iPad and mobile applications a leg up over e-reader devices like the Kindle and Nook, which cannot currently support elements like video and full-color slideshows.
What do you think about the concept of enhanced e-books? Would you be more likely to abandon your paperbacks or e-readers for a more immersive, multimedia-rich experience?

Moving forward transboundary water cooperation: building on its benefits
More than 40% of the world population relies on transboundary water resources. Cooperation on these resources is necessary to manage shared waters in an integrated and sustainable way. Such cooperation has the potential to generate many significant benefits for countries involved, such as accelerated economic growth, improved human well-being, enhanced environmental sustainability and increased political stability.
Gaining and sharing experience on the benefits of transboundary water cooperation
In order to explore how to better understand, analyse and communicate the benefits of transboundary water cooperation as well as the cost of inaction, UNECE organized a workshop on 6 and 7 February 2018 bringing together around 90 participants from more than 40 countries. The workshop, held three years after the adoption of the Policy Guidance Note on the Benefits of Transboundary Water Cooperation: Identification, Assessment and Communication, drew together expertise and experience gathered under the Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes (Water Convention), serviced by UNECE, and by other partners.
Prompting and strengthening transboundary water cooperation by adopting a "benefit lens"
Many challenges can prevent or delay countries from embracing effective joint management of transboundary waters, including an incomplete or biased perception of the possible benefits. Insufficient cooperation in Central Asia, for example, is estimated to cost more than $4.5 billion per year, according to the report Rethinking Water in Central Asia by Adelphi and the Regional Environmental Centre for Central Asia (CAREC).
Experience from several transboundary basins, such as the Zarumilla River Basin shared by Ecuador and Peru, the Torne River Basin shared by Finland and Sweden and the Sio Malaba Malakisi River Basin shared by Kenya and Uganda, highlighted that understanding shared goals but also opposing interests in transboundary basins is key. Jointly identifying the benefits that cooperation can generate indeed helps find plausible pathways and opportunities for significant improvement in cooperation.
Participants of the workshop also recognized that formal agreements serve to anchor cooperation: they ensure predictability, beyond political will. Experience from the Rhine, Sava and Senegal River Basins as well as the North Western Sahara Aquifer System showed that cooperation needs to be continuously built to keep generating benefits for basin countries, illustrating the role of joint bodies as catalyst for water cooperation.
Assessing benefits helps to advance transboundary water cooperation processes
Botswana and Namibia reported that assessing the benefits of transboundary water cooperation in the Cubango-Okavango River Basin after 20 years of cooperation helped take stock of existing tangible benefits that countries may not have been aware of. The assessment, which built on the conceptual framework of the Policy Guidance Note on the Benefits of Transboundary Water Cooperation, has also contributed to understanding the added value of regional projects for the wider development of the basin, beyond unilateral interests.
While it was agreed that quantifying, and to a greater extent giving a monetary value, to the benefits of cooperation is a challenge, evidence on the importance of the benefits of cooperation can support the cooperation policy process. OECD showed for example that the estimated benefits of setting up a joint early warning system in the part of the Kura River Basin shared by Azerbaijan and Georgia outweigh the expected investment costs by more than 15 times. Cooperation in the Senegal River Basin resulted in the fruitful management of joint infrastructures. Future planned infrastructures in the basin should make it possible to save about $450 million annually on basin countries' oil bills.
Communicating the benefits of cooperation is key to ensuring support to and financing of transboundary water cooperation processes
Proper communication, throughout the cooperation process, and at all levels (from local communities to high-level decision makers) was recognized by participants as a core element to both initiate and sustain cooperation. It can help mobilize financing for development projects in transboundary basins and help gain support and endorsement by local populations where appropriate.
For example, communicating the tangible benefits of cooperation in the Nile Basin in the areas of energy generation and trade, watershed management, ecosystem restoration, food security and water resource management from high-level decision makers to communities plays a crucial role in changing mindsets. Despite diverging positions among Nile Basin countries, particularly between upstream and downstream countries, there has been a growing realization of the benefits of cooperation and the costs it helps to avoid.
In addition, communication between riparians is important even when cooperation is well functioning in order to prompt further progress, address new challenges and inspire innovation.
The benefit approach and the way forward: more support is needed
Participants brainstormed in small groups on their needs and potential contributions to future activities related to the benefits of transboundary water cooperation, confirming that further work on the topic would be valuable. Such proposals and insights will feed in the future programme of work under the Water Convention for the period 2019–2021, to be adopted by the Meeting of the Parties at its eighth session in October 2018.
More information on the workshop and presentations are available at: http://www.unece.org/index.php?id=46345
