Now that summer is in full swing, a lot of people have been asking me the same question: How can you take your phone with you on vacation without letting your phone ruin your vacation?
It's a modern quandary: Phones are obviously useful tools, especially when you're on the road. But too often, a quick check turns into an hourlong scroll session. And if you're going to spend your trip trolling Instagram or responding to emails, what's the point of leaving home?
It might seem absurd to have to strategize how to set boundaries with your smartphone. But the reward — a vacation that feels like a vacation — is well worth the work. Here are some useful tips on how to use your phone on vacation, without letting it hijack your trip.
Before You Leave: Prepare Yourself
Define your goal. Ask yourself — and your companions — what's the point of the trip? To relax? To experience new things? To spend time together? To escape your routine? In other words, what do you actually want to spend your time doing? (I'm willing to bet that you won't say "obsessively checking my work email.") Write down your goal, take a photo of it, and set it as your lock screen image (or use one of these) so that you're reminded of it when you instinctively reach for your phone.
Identify what you want to use your phone for. To take photos? Navigate? Check in with the office? Knowing what you want to use your phone for makes it easier to catch yourself when you're using your phone for something that's not on your list.
Don't fall for your brain's tricks. It is likely that your brain is going to concoct all sorts of "reasons" you have to check, or scroll, or post while you're on vacation. That's because checking our phones triggers the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that encourages us to repeat behaviors that our brains have judged to be rewarding (it's no coincidence that dopamine plays a major role in addictions). What's more, not checking your phone can cause your body to release stress hormones such as cortisol — a double whammy. So whenever you feel yourself reaching for your phone because you "need" to do something, ask yourself whether it's an actual need — or if it's an excuse.
Every time you find yourself about to check your phone on vacation, ask yourself: What is the best thing that could be waiting for you? At the very least, checking your phone will distract you. And if you find bad news waiting for you, it can ruin your day.
Remember: when you "check in," you check out. Mentally and physically, we can't be two places at once. So every time you turn your attention to your phone, you are turning your attention away from everything else.
Before You Leave: Prepare Your Phone
Delete your "problem apps"— that is, the ones that often leave you wondering what happened to the last 45 minutes of your life. The most likely culprits are social media, email, dating, games, shopping and the news, all of which offer novelty, unpredictability and the potential for a reward — just like slot machines. (If your phone won't let you delete them, hide them in a folder off your home screen.)
You can always check these platforms through your phone's internet browser if you must, and you can reinstall them at any time — but why not use your vacation as a chance to see what life is like without Facebook?
Create a temptation-free home screen. Rearrange your apps so that your home screen contains only practical apps that won't suck you in (for example, the camera, maps or a translation app). Those are your "tools," and you can use them freely.
Put your other apps into folders on an interior page to prevent yourself from being tempted by their icons.
Turn off all notifications, except for the ones you actually want to receive while you're on vacation. (I particularly recommend disabling the news.) Note: those little red circles that pop up on apps' icons are also notifications, called "badges." Turn those off, too — including for email.
Reduce FOMO (the fear of missing out) by setting up vacation auto-responses for your email, voice mail and text messages. (To set up an automatic text message response on iPhones, use the customized option for "Do Not Disturb While Driving"; for Android, download a third-party app such as Lilspace.) Update your status on social media accounts so that your friends and followers know that you're away. Then shed a tear for the fact that this is a cause of anxiety to begin with.
If you don't want to be checking your phone all day, but want to be reachable in an emergency:
Define "Emergency." Are you talking about a family crisis back home? Or a problem at the office?
Use "Do Not Disturb" mode to limit incoming calls and texts, and tell people what they need to do to break through:
On iPhones: create a list of "Favorites" (for example, the people you're traveling with, or family members back home) whose texts and calls you want to receive even when your phone is on "Do Not Disturb." Note that if someone calls you twice within three minutes or texts "urgent" to you, it will break through "Do Not Disturb" — even if they're not on a list.
On Android devices: set your "Priority Notifications" to allow calls and texts only from certain people. You can also enable a feature that will allow calls to come through if the same person calls you twice within 15 minutes.
Go old school. Give people the name, address and telephone number where you will be staying. True, this means that you won't get the message till you get back to your lodging. But perhaps by then, the situation will have been resolved.
Get over yourself. When people say that they "have" to be constantly checking their phones, I think of a quote by Tina Fey: "It's a burden, being able to control situations with my hypervigilance, but it's my lot in life." In other words, we all have an exaggerated sense of our own importance.
If you are a slave to your email:
Consider not checking your email at all while you're away. Honestly, if you've set up a good auto-response and have left instructions for your co-workers, what's the worst that could happen? (If your answer is that you'll miss a firestorm, then your "worst-case" scenario is actually a best-case scenario.)
If total abstinence sounds too extreme, commit to checking your email only once or twice a day, ideally from an actual computer. To keep yourself on track, put your phone on airplane mode while you're out — or, better yet, delete your email app entirely, reinstall it when you want to check, and delete it again when you're done (or delete the email app and check through the clunky browser version instead).
You may also want to install an email management app or extension, such as Inbox Pause (part of Boomerang, it allows you to have your emails batch-delivered at a time and frequency of your choosing) or Inbox When Ready (which hides your inbox, while still allowing you to compose new messages and to search your archives — a great option if you need to write an email but don't want to get sucked in to answering messages). Also, use time differences to your advantage: You probably do not need to check your inbox when people at home are sleeping.
If there are people whose emails you feel you simply cannot miss — for example, your family or your boss — create V.I.P. lists (you can follow these instructions). Then adjust your notification setting to receive notifications only for messages sent by your V.I.P.s. (On Apple devices, V.I.P. emails will appear in their own separate mailbox. I recommend deleting all of your other mailboxes for the duration of your trip so that you see messages only from your V.I.P.s. You can always reinstall the others later.)
If you're worried about missing emails from potential clients or anyone else whom you can't pre-identify as a V.I.P., make sure your auto-response says when they can expect to hear back from you. If you must, you could include your phone number and instruct them to call — but do you really want to be courting new business while you're on vacation?
If you're worried about coming back to an overflowing inbox, consider taking the approach of the German automaker Daimler, which offers employees the option of automatically deleting all messages that arrive while they're away. Senders get an auto-response saying that the recipient is on vacation and that their email will be deleted without being read. The auto-response provides contact information for someone who can help immediately, and says that if the message is important but not urgent, the sender should simply resend their email when the person has returned from vacation. (To do this on your own, write an auto-response and then set up a filter on your email account so that any message sent to your address will automatically be deleted.)
If you are addicted to social media:
If at all possible, don't use it. Social media apps are specifically designed to draw us in, which is why I recommend posting a status update saying that you're away and then deleting the apps for the duration of the trip. This may make you feel anxious, especially if it's a major work or leisure activity, or you have a large following — but it's an excellent opportunity for self-reflection. Why do you feel so compelled to share photos of experiences you're in the middle of having?
When I think about vacations and social media, I'm reminded of that old saying about a tree falling in a forest: If something happens on vacation and you don't immediately post it to Instagram, did it happen at all? (Answer: Yes. It did.)
If you're traveling with other people:
Establish phone etiquette guidelines. (This is important even if you're traveling by yourself.) The great thing about agreeing on a group etiquette ahead of time is that it can prevent conflict on the trip itself. It's like the Quiet Car on Amtrak: the fact that everyone knows the rules makes it hard to defend yourself if you're caught breaking them.
For example, you could decide not to allow phones at meals, or to leave phones behind in the hotel lockbox when you go out to dinner, or to not post photos to social media till you're back from your trip. To prevent mutiny, you can also decide upon a time each day when everyone can use their phones freely — say, the hour before dinner.
Turn it into a game. Feel free to get creative — the point is to make following the rules feel like a friendly competition. For example:
For friends/colleagues: The first person to pull their phone out at the table has to cover the tax or tip.
For families with small kids: Agree to pay a fine every time your kids catch you breaking the rules — an amount that's small enough that you'll actually pay it, but big enough that you'd prefer not to. At the end of the trip, put the money toward an activity — of your children's choosing — that you all do together.
For friends, colleagues or families with older children: Create a pool of money that everyone can compete to win (the buy-in amount can be personalized based on age and allowance). Next, set your exchange rate — for example, a quarter per chip. Every time someone violates the rules, they have to hand over a chip to the person who caught them. (You can hand out actual chips or keep track on paper.) At the end of the trip, everyone cashes in their chips.
If you want to take your phone with you for practical purposes, but don't want to get sucked into a digital black hole:
Pack a travel alarm clock. If your phone is your alarm clock, you are guaranteeing your phone will be the first thing you touch when you wake up.
Give yourself options. Let's face it: you're going to crave your phone. So be sure to pack alternatives for those moments when you find yourself reaching for it. For example: a deck of cards, a game, a book or e-reader, a knitting project, a journal, a sketchpad.
Plan ahead. Download maps ahead of time so that they're available offline, and take screenshots of information or tickets that you know you're going to need. That way you can put your phone on airplane mode when you leave your hotel, avoiding the potential for distractions but also giving yourself access to the information that you need. You might also want to consider investing in a stand-alone camera.
Limit your access to the internet. Turn off cellular data so that you can use the internet only when connected to Wi-Fi. Or put it on airplane mode so that your internet access is cut off completely. It can also be useful to install an app blocker, such as Freedom for iOS and Stay Focused for Android and setting a schedule for when — and for how long — you can have access to particular websites or apps.
Find alternate ways to get information. If you're desperate to catch up on the news, buy a newspaper. If you need to find a place to eat, or are lost and need directions, ask for help from a real live person. (Don't underestimate the power of a good pantomime.) The only way to truly experience a different culture is to interact with it.
Remember: there's more to life than the internet. We have a tendency to think that the only experiences worth having are the ones that have five-star ratings. But the most memorable experiences will never be found on Yelp. Allow for serendipity.
If you're interested in (but sort of scared of) taking a total break:
You could always just leave your phone at home. But if that sounds too extreme, try this: Every day, pick a time or activity when you will leave your phone behind. Then notice what it feels like to be without your digital appendage.
You'll probably feel anxious at first, but as time passes, you may feel a strange sense of calm (likely because being tethered to our phones raises our baseline rates of adrenaline, especially when notifications are enabled) or a feeling that time has slowed down. For the full effect, I recommend trying a full 24 hours — but even 30 minutes can be eye-opening.
If you want to take your new vacation habits home with you:
Vacations are a great opportunity to reset — especially when it comes to our relationships with our phones. Before you automatically go back to your normal routine, take a moment — either on your own, or with your traveling companions — to reflect on whether there is anything you'd like to keep doing now that you're home.
For example, you could keep your notifications turned off, or refrain from automatically reinstalling the apps that you've deleted, or charge your phone outside your bedroom, or schedule a time each day to go without your phone. Experiment enough, and you may be able to maintain a vacation-like sense of freedom during your normal life as well.

Victron Blue Smart IP22 Charger 24v/12a (1 output) Euro Plug
The Blue Smart IP22 Charger is the new professional battery charger with built-in bluetooth. The Blue Smart IP22 Charger can be used on devices in your workshop and on motor vehicles, such as (classic) cars; motorbikes; boats and camper-vans.
The battery is charged, smartly... to perfect condition
The seven-step charging algorithm gets the best out of your battery. The charger gives the battery the power it needs, maintains its health, ensures better performance... and a longer life.
Unlike other brands, the Blue Smart IP67 Charger Waterproof will attempt to recharge a deeply-discharged battery by force-feeding it with a low current. Normal charging will then be resumed as soon as there is sufficient voltage across the battery terminals.
Blue Smart IP67 Charger Waterproof is equipped with built-in Bluetooth, so the status of the charger and the battery can be checked on a smartphone, tablet or laptop. All settings of the charger can be configured with the VictronConnect app.
High efficiency
With up to 94% efficiency, these chargers generate up to four times less heat when compared to the industry standard. And once the battery is fully charged, power consumption reduces to 0,5 Watt, some five to ten times better than the industry standard.
Adaptive 6-stage charge algorithm: test - bulk absorption - recondition float storage
The Blue Smart Charger features a microprocessor controlled adaptive battery management. The adaptive feature will automatically optimize the charging process relative to the way the battery is being used.
Storage Mode: less maintenance and aging when the battery is not in use
The storage mode kicks in whenever the battery has not been subjected to discharge during 24 hours. In the storage mode float voltage is reduced to 2,2V/cell (13,2V for a 12V battery) to minimize gassing and corrosion of the positive plates. Once a week the voltage is raised back to the absorption level to equalize the battery. This feature prevents stratification of the electrolyte and sulfation, a major cause of early battery failure.
Also charges Li-ion (LiFePO) batteries
LiFePO batteries are charged with a simple bulk absorption float algorithm.
NIGHT and LOW setting
When in NIGHT or LOW mode, the output current is reduced to max. 50% of the nominal output and the charger will be totally noiseless. The NIGHT mode automatically ends after 8 hours. The LOW mode can be ended manually.
Protected against overheating
Output current will reduce as temperature increases up to 50°C, but the Blue Smart Charger will not fail.
Eleven LEDs for status indication
Charge algorithm: TEST / BULK / ABSORPTION / RECONDITION / FLOAT / STORAGE / READY. MODE button to set: NORMAL (14,4V) / HIGH (14,7V) / RECONDITION / LI-ION.

Murat Gassiev: Perez did great – but Briedis is a master of his craft
IBF Cruiserweight World Champion Murat Gassiev is full of praise for both Mairis Briedis and Mike Perez.
Murat Gassiev watched with interest as Mairis Briedis defeated Mike Perez via unanimous decision in the World Boxing Super Series in Riga, Latvia on Saturday night.
And the Russian IBF World Champion is full of praise for both combatants and fellow participants in the Ali Trophy cruiserweight tournament.
"The fight went the distance which is the reason why the fans could say it was boring but it was not," said 'Iron' Murat Gassiev.
"Perez was doing great. His stamina was there. His speed was there. He was motivated. He lost but the fact is now we have a very dangerous fighter in our division. I think he is capable of becoming a mandatory challenger in the near future."
Murat Gassiev was impressed by WBC world champion Mairis Briedis' ability to adjust.
"Briedis showed that he is master of his craft. He showed that he is able to adjust to any situation in the ring," said Gassiev.
"If you try to back him up he has a good defense. If you work from a distance, he is ready too. If you want the inside work with some of Marko Huck's elements — he's ready. He's ready for everything. I think that Briedis' uppercuts and dirty boxing surprised Perez."
Murat Gassiev will undoubtedly watch Mairis Briedis again in the upcoming clash against WBO world champion Aleksandr Usyk in the semifinal:
"His fight with Usyk will be very interesting. Those who think that Usyk is going have an easy fight are wrong. I look forward to it, he says.
Murat Gassiev steps into the World Boxing Super Series when he faces off against Krzysztof Wlodarczyk in the final cruiserweight quarterfinal on October 21 at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
The winner will face WBA world champion Yunier Dorticos in a unification fight in the semifinal.

For those of you who've never seen it, Jericho was a short-lived series about the residents of Jericho, Kansas in the aftermath of nuclear attacks on 23 major cities in the United States. It was cancelled after its first series in 2006 due to poor ratings (yes CBS, thats what happens when you put a new show up against the ratings juggernaut that is American Idol. FU very much) but a fan campaign got it back for a 7 ep second series after which it was cancelled again. (FU CBS.... I need a tag saying that at this stage!)
I loved the show from its first ep, and was devastated (both times) when it was cancelled. am now rooting out the DVD's so I can marathon it.... but first, m-vids!!
Hear You Me - an awesome Stanley/Mimi vid; this odd couple wound up being the heart of the show for me. alicia Coppola and Brad Beyer had great chemistry together.
Someone Like You - more Stimi goodness
Unanswered Prayers - a slightly AU Jake/Heather vid, and if anyone reading this can explain why they went Jake/Emily instead of Jake/Heather, I would REALLY like to know!
Who You'd Be Today - this made me cry. I will never forget getting to the end of ep 204, when Jake rushes into the Richmond house and sees Stanley cradling Bonnie.... they did a Bad Bad Thing :-(
There are tons of vids on YouTube, these are just 4 of my faves. If you're looking for a show to watch over the summer (that isn't going to require being added into your schedule when the new season starts, I recommend this one!)

Reinke Manufacturing is offering a new version of proposal software it developed with Ag Connections, Inc., to help irrigators better plan the location of their new center pivot sprinkler machines.
Reinke Design Pro II allows growers to actually visualized their field and see how the company's products work in that location. The program's mathematical algorithms work in conjunction with USDA's high-resolution, geo-referenced aerial images to place pivots and accessories on top of the exact piece of land a grower is considering for an irrigation system.
The program has a one-inch precision. Reinke the tool will allow a dealer to go to a customer's field with a handheld GPS system and turn the detailed report into a survey-ready project.
Reinke says those interested in the system should contact a Reinke dealer.

Following the previous post on 'The Boho Man' which appeared on the site last month, it appears that Bohemianism has captured the minds of many a city dweller. Everywhere you look there are signs that more and more people are embracing bohemianism, be it a cyclist with flowers in her hair or a dandy bohemian man wearing silk scarves and paisley shirts.
Stereotypes pushed aside, there really is a shift in mentality occurring throughout the world's cities. The photo above, taken in July 2011 at Berlin Fashion week clearly illustrates this free spirited and creative vibe. The bohemian style shows a wealth, not of designer labels but of experiences and knowledge. This style is not about telling the world where you shop or how great your bank balance is, it is about taking a walk down the road less travelled and revealing your findings through your clothes.
It is all about feeling great in your own skin, creating a sphere all of your own and radiating a creative energy which will carry you blissfully through the madness of city life. Designer labels like Saint Laurent, Etro and Diesel understand this mentality and have drawn inspiration from it in their autumn/winter 2013 collections. However, this style is all about discovery and individuality. That means the key ingredients for embracing the bohemian way of life are:

As Julia Bell states in her Ten Books by Women that Everyone Should Read there is no shortage of great women writers, and no great shortage of readers either. There are currently three female laureates in the UK: Carol Ann Duffy (National), Liz Lochhead (Scotland) and Gillian Clarke (Wales). Sinéad Morrissey has just won the T.S. Eliot Prize. By all accounts, female poets aren't doing too badly. So why is the issue of gender in writing still such, well, such an issue? Although it is certainly a good thing this question is becoming harder to answer, when it comes to reeling off the names of the Metaphysical Poets, the Beat Poets, the Romantics, and so on, I admit I struggle to come up with the name of a poet who also happens to be female. Just as I find it hard to name three female philosophers (anyone?). It seems the problem lies in death, or rather, in history and how it gets written up. Woman wither in the afterlife, while men, it seems, grow stronger from the grave. The challenge lies in bringing female writers to the attention of the people—reviewers, critics and academics—who create and curate the cultural space. And it will take further effort to lift those female poets from the token fringes of culture and reinstate them at the heart of our intellectual register.
The following list is by no means exhaustive and offers a whistle-stop tour through history of some of our best, yes female, poets:
In Greek antiquity SAPPHO (c. 630 and c. 550 BC) was known simply as "the Poetess". She was one of the Nine Lyric poets, a canonical group of ancient Greek poets esteemed worthy of scholarly study. Sappho's main contributions to the conventions of the lyric genre are her experimentation with metrical complexity (Sapphic metre) and the deliberate omission of superfluous rhetoric to allow for the sharp and clear images to be delivered with a melodic immediacy. Unlike the poems and ancient texts of her male counterparts, Sappho's poems were not collated and copied by medieval monks and as a result lost from the manuscript tradition. The fragments and shards of Sappho's poems that did survive did so either through quotation by other authors or through the discovery of fragments written on ancient papyrus. Her poetry has been translated by and informed the work of poets as diverse as Alfred Tennyson, Algernon Swinburne, Pierre Louÿs, H. D., Anne Sexton, Anne Carson, Nicole Brossard, Thomas Hardy, Allen Ginsburg, Amy Lowell and Aléxandros Soútsos, to name but a few. She remains widely recognized as one of the great poets of world literature.
If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho, translated by Anne Carson, Virago Press, London, 2003.
Two hitherto unknown poems came to light in 2013, when an anonymous private collector showed a piece of papyrus fragment to Dr. Dirk Obbink, a papyrologist at Oxford University.
HILDEGARD VON BINGEN (1098 – 1179) was a German poet, composer, philosopher and Christian mystic. Her three main illuminated volumes of visionary theology are Scivias (1142-1148, lost since 1945), Liber Vitae Meritorum (1158-1163) and Liber Divonorum Operum. Her body of nearly 400 letters is the largest to survive from the Middle Ages. Interestingly, she also invented a language and accompanying alphabet that she called Litterae Ignotae, or "unknown language". She wrote on the natural sciences (Physica), penned medicinal texts (Causae et Curae) and founded two monasteries. Her literary output was prolific, and influential in religious, artistic and intellectual circles. The famous medieval critic Bernard of Clairvaux (a deconstructivist avant-la-Derrida) was a champion of her work. The Ordo Virtutum is an early example of liturgical drama and arguably the oldest surviving morality play. At the end of her life all of her works were edited and gathered into the single Riesencodex manuscript, now held at the Wiesbaden State Library.

(SOR) JUANA INÉS DE LA CRUZ (1651-1695). I had not heard of this Mexican poet and scholar of Spanish descend until Ruth Fainlight brought her to my attention recently, citing Octavio Paz' Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, o, Las trampas de la fe as the most complete study of her life and work. Aged six or seven she begged her mother to let her dress as a man so she could study at Mexico University. It makes it all the more extraordinary that the greatest writer to emerge in the 17th century Spanish-speaking world was a woman. She took vows and entered the convent but even from an initial reading of her work I think it safe to say that the prospect of having a study and a library at her disposal was more of a career move than the response to a religious calling. Her poems ooze intelligence and wit and are by and large void of mystic rapture, instead dealing with the major artistic themes of the time—illusion/reality, dream/waking and original/copy. Her poems and letters contain continual pleas for her writing not to be read in terms of conventional gender stereotyping and defend the right of women to have access to learning. As her star rose and reputation and influence widened, so the Ecclesiastical hierarchy began to attack her more openly and harshly for her preoccupation with worldly affairs. Her 'Respuesta a Sor Filotea', a reply to these organized attacks on her work has been hailed as the first feminist manifesto. Eventually the pressure from the establishment became too big and Sor Juana was forced to sell her extensive library of some 4000 books, as well as her musical and scientific instruments. She died, aged 43, of the plague.

HOPE MIRRLEES (1887-1978), novelist, poet, translator. Mirrlees' long poem Paris is a modernist masterpiece that influenced, among others, T.S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf, who published it under the title Paris: A Poem (The Hogarth Press, 1919). "Indecent, obscure, brilliant," in the words of Woolf. "Modernism's lost masterpiece," in the words of Julia Briggs (2007). Why Paris became "modernism's lost masterpiece" beggars belief. True, Paris is a difficult poem, in large part because it explores new poetic territory. Aesthetically and in terms of its experimentalism, it is one of most daring modernist works of art, arguably more daring than the 'Waste Land'. Paris is a dynamic enactment of a journey through a day in post First World War Paris, populated by figures from symbolism, cubism, surrealism, jazz culture and nightlife. The abundant references that originate from a wide kaleidoscope of cultural and literary registers, in an observational, indiscriminate fashion, impart the work with the sense one is reading an abstract painting instead of a long poem. Writing in the Guardian in 2012, Patrick McGuinness captures Mirrlees' masterpiece beautifully: "Voices, machine noises and musical notes are caught in mid-air, shreds of advertising, brand names, logos, street signs and even the lettering on monuments, are conveyed in poetry that takes liberties not just with standard verse forms, but with linear writing itself."

MARINA TSVETAEVA (1892-1941) is the only poet I know of who has a planet named after her. Her poems, predominantly lyrical, burn with reckless passion. They are as lucid as they are bewildering and are distinctive in their rhythmic shifts and unusual use of syntax. There is something unpolished and crude about her work, something plaintive, yet with a devil-may-care love for a life lived in the face of much hardship. Her youngest daughter died in a state orphanage in the Moscow famine of 1919, her husband was a spy for the Soviet secret police and later executed, and her sister and elder daughter were carted off to prison camps. She was flamboyantly generous in her admiration of contemporary writers such as Aleksandr Blok, Heinrich Heine and Anna Akhmatova, and corresponded with Boris Pasternak, Rainier Maria Rilke and Anna Teskova. She herself, however, was often on the receiving end of criticism, particularly after an admiring letter to Vladimir Mayakovsky, who was deemed as being too pro-Soviet. As a result she was passed over by and round the literary establishment like a hot potato, forced to get by on bits of translation work. Describing her misery, she wrote to Teskova, "In Paris, with rare personal exceptions, everyone hates me, they write all sorts of nasty things, leave me out in all sorts of nasty ways, and so on." After the émigré years of Berlin, Prague and Paris, she returned to the Soviet Union in 1939, to the town of Yelabuga, where she hanged herself in 1941.

INGEBORG BACHMANN (1926-1973) Bachmann's poetry is firmly rooted in the Classical and Romantic tradition but simultaneously infused with abstract language and concrete images. Wittgenstein's final sentence of the Tractatus, 'What we cannot speak about we must pass over in silence', was a touchstone Bachmann returned to frequently. Her later poetry was often an attempt to reach through and beyond this very silence. Her first collection Borrowed Time (Die Gestundete Zeit) was published in 1953 amid torrents of acclaim and received the coveted Gruppe 47 Prize, which landed her the cover story in Der Spiegel that same year. Bachmann's subsequent rise to prominence was meteoric. Her second, and final collection Invocation of the Great Bear (Anrufung des Großen Bären) appeared in 1956. She received the prestigious Georg Büchner Prize in 1964 and was the first poet to deliver the (now legendary) Frankfurt Lectures on Poetics. Ingeborg Bachmann and Paul Celan conducted a secret love affair and correspondence that spanned decades. Their correspondence, released and published for the first time in 2008, makes for some explosive reading and throws new light on their poetry.

FOROUGH FARROKHZAD (1935-1967) was an Iranian poet and film director. She was a controversial modernist, an iconoclast, and one of Iran's most influential poets of the twentieth century. Farrokhzad's poetry was banned for more than a decade after the Islamic Revolution. Her work is bold, forthright, and bursts with the joy of the creative act. If you are going to read only one poem today, make it 'I Will Greet The Sun Again'. On February 13, 1967, Farrokhzad died in a car accident at age thirty-two. In order to avoid hitting a school bus, she swerved her Jeep, which hit a stone wall; she died before reaching the hospital. Her poem 'Let us believe in the beginning of the cold season' was published posthumously, and is generally considered the best-structured modern poem in Persian.

There is little to say about SYLVIA PLATH (1932-1963) that hasn't been said already. Joyce Carol Oates described Plath in the New York Times Book Review as "one of the most celebrated and controversial of post war poets writing in English." However, not including Plath in this list of ten female poets would be like not including Arthur Rimbaud on the male-shadow list. Plath is one of those rare literary figures whose work is considered a poet's poet and read by the public. Her literary legacy looms as large over the 20th century as Arthur Rimbaud's does over the 19th century. Equally, their lives have taken on mythological dimensions. Their genius, its flowering, explosion and sudden extinction still astonishes. Both were literary innovators. Plath of the confessional style; Rimbaud of the prose poem. Both were in explosive relationships with other poets (Paul Verlaine famously shot Rimbaud in the wrist at Brussels Midi train station), and both had much of their small, yet influential oeuvre published posthumously. Charles Newman, an early editor of her work commented that, "in absorbing, personalizing the socio-political catastrophes of the century, [Plath] reminds us that they are ultimately metaphors of the terrifying human mind."

ADRIENNE RICH (1929-2012) has been described as one of the most eloquent and provocative 20th century voices on the politics of sexuality, race, language, power and women's culture. Her career spanned seven decades, more than twenty collections and numerous prizes. Snapshots of a Daughter-in-Law (1963), Leaflets (1969), The Will to Change (1971), and Diving into the Wreck (1973) are among her best, stylistically drawing on cinematic techniques of jolting edits and collage. Rich's determination, in her own words, "to write directly and overtly as a woman, out of a woman's body and experience" can be seen as an attempt to restore the female idiom to the aesthetic discourse of literary history, rather than a body of work separate to or other than that of her male counterparts.
ANNE CARSON (1950-) brings us to the present day. Carson is a Canadian poet, translator, essayist and professor of Classics. What Johann Peter Eckermann said of Goethe is true also of Carson: she changes poetic style as easily as a snake sheds skin. The question of how poetry can reflect the times we live in is one that Carson explores assiduously in terms of form. The recasting of classical, biblical and literary figures in modern day settings anchor the freely associated images and puts flesh on the bones of her intellectual rigour. Her poems are a blend of poetry, essay, prose, dramatic dialogue and criticism. A good place to start would be The Beauty of the Husband: A Fictional Essay in 29 Tangos (2001), which won Carson the T.S. Eliot Prize. Daphne Merkin wrote of it, "I don't think there has been a book since Robert Lowell's Life Studies that has advanced the art of poetry quite as radically as Anne Carson is in the process of doing."
Not forgetting: Else Lasker-Schüler, Anne Sexton, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Mina Loy, Elizabeth Bishop, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Emily Dickenson, Stevie Smith, Selima Hill, Wis?awa Szymborska, Valérie Rouzeau, Imtiaz Dharker, Oodgeroo Noonuccal, and so many, many other poets it would be a disgrace to find filed (away) under 'Gender Studies' 100 years from now.
In Conclusion:
In 2011 Penguin Classics published an anthology of 100 manifestoes written between 1909 to 2009: 100 Artists' Manifestos: From the Futurists to the Stuckists. Anyone who can guess correctly how many manifestos written by female authors are included in this anthology stands to win my copy of this book.

I've finished a super EZ Tomten, a design by Elizabeth Zimmerman found in a couple of her books. I used the one in the Opinionated Knitter. I love knitting her patterns as you are given so much freedom in what you can do.
Take this tomten: I decided to do stripes, short-rows on the back for shaping, pockets, a hood, a button placket, and I-cord edging on the sleeves and around the front. You could choose not to do any of these. You could even knit it in the round and make it a pullover.
Also, the size is based on whatever combination of yarn and needles you use. My combo gave me a jacket big enough to fit my 5 year old, Li'l Rosi! Mind you that I never had more than 112 stitches on my needles at any given point.
The hardest part about knitting this was the striping and all the ends I would have so I wove in ends as I knit so as to have less finishing to do. I wanted to use up a bunch of Plymouth Encore I had in my stash from a previous project. But if you make this in one or two colors, it should be a snap.
Now to find some nice big buttons. They need to be unisex as I don't like sewing buttons and I plan for G-Luc to wear this when Li'l Rosi outgrows it.
Anyone have any recommendations for me?

Low temperature is a major environmental constraint impacting the geographic distribution and seasonal activity patterns of insects. Written for academic researchers in environmental physiology and entomology, Low Temperature Biology of Insects explores the physiological and molecular mechanisms that enable insects to cope with a cold environment and places these findings into an evolutionary and ecological context.
An introductory chapter provides a primer on insect cold tolerance and subsequent chapters in the first section discuss the organismal, cellular and molecular responses that allow insects to survive in the cold despite their, at best, limited ability to regulate their own body temperature. The second section, highlighting the evolutionary and macrophysiological responses to low temperature, is especially relevant for understanding the impact of global climate change on insect systems. A final section translates the knowledge gained from the rest of Low Temperature Biology of Insects into practical applications including cryopreservation and the augmentation of pest management strategies.

'No-one should have to go through this' - Parents tell of two-year-old's battle with aggressive cancer
PUBLISHED: 08:24 07 January 2019 | UPDATED: 22:14 10 January 2019
Harry Deeba is facing the hardest battle of his life at the age of just two years old.
Last year the youngster was diagnosed with stage four high risk neuroblastoma, a cancer that forms in nerve tissue, affecting around 100 children each year.
Harry's battle started last year in January. Throughout the 2017 Christmas period, his parents Carly Howes, 32, and father, Ali Deeba, 38, a landscape gardener, had been taking him to their GP after Harry "was not himself".
Miss Howes, from Fakenham Road, Taverham, said: "He was restless at night, was always tired and not very playful.
"He stopped eating and became very clingy, we though it could be part of separation anxiety.
"The GP told us four times it was a virus due to the time of year but over Christmas he wasn't interested in his new toys and by the new year his tummy looked swollen."
Harry, who was one at the time, was taken to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital where the 16cm cancerous tumour was found growing in his kidneys. Miss Howes added: "The journey has been rough, really hard. No child or parent should have to go through this. No-one should have to go through what Harry has been though.
"At the start we were just in shock. It took a long while before we were even able to talk to people about it.
"The cancer is hard to cure as it is so aggressive. But if he was to relapse it would be even harder to cure."
Harry will be going to Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, to undergo a further two scans to see if the radiotherapy has worked and stopped the active disease.
If the cancer returns there is just a one in 10 chance of survival. A trial vaccine has been created in New York, USA, which Harry could take part in but the opportunity will cost £239,000.
The family have begun working with the charity Solving Kids' Cancer to help Harry get the treatment through fundraising and a donation page.
Miss Howes said: "If a child does relapse it is mainly palliative care which we don't want to get to. We want to try everything we can to make sure it doesn't come back.
"With the fundraising starting it has been overwhelming and amazing how kind people have been."
To be able to take part in the trial in New York patients must be in remission. If the money is raised Harry will take part in the trial over the course of a year with seven injections.
For more information go to solvingkidscancer.org.uk or visit Harry's Facebook page.
Harry's treatment
Harry has had to have a large amount of treatment to try to beat the aggressive form of cancer.
After being admitted to Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital it was the start of a long process.
Miss Howes said: "We stayed on the ward that night, not that we got any sleep. I laid in the hospital bed sobbing and holding Harry tight, fearful of what would happen next."
The next day the family travelled to Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, where Harry's condition deteriorated.
Miss Howes added: "Once admitted, Harry went down hill quickly, he needed oxygen, had a very high heart rate, he slept a lot and cried in pain when awake, his tummy had swollen.
"How had we missed a tumour the size of a ball growing in our beautiful boys tummy?"
Throughout the year Harry has gone through chemotherapy, stem cell harvests, an eight-hour surgery in Southampton to remove the tumour and a stem cell transplant with Harry being isolated for a month during which he turned two.
Harry's big sister Isobel
As Harry has been going through treatment his big sister Isobel, five, has been missing him.
Harry loves playing with and annoying his sister and Miss Howes says that she has been very brave.
Miss Howes said: She was around her nanny and grandad's playing, but little did she know she would not see mummy, daddy or Harry again for a long while.
"She has been amazing. She has now been living with her grandparents a lot while we are at hospital with Harry.
"She had never slept away from home before but then suddenly she was having to live with them."
Miss Howes and Mr Deeba have stayed at Addenbrooke's Hospital with Harry for long periods while he has undergone treatment.
During this time Mr Deeba would visit her every time he had the opportunity.
Miss Howes added: "She has coped amazingly and fortunately we haven't had to worry too much about her."

How to Play Najdorf vol.1 共9讲,由卡斯帕罗夫讲授。原是由chasebase公司发布的dvd教学视频,但网上的文件只是单纯的卡斯帕罗夫的讲授,并没有棋局演示部分,所以我发布的是转成wma格式的音频资料,全英文。Najdorf 是西西里防御中着名的变例,为纪念特级大师纳道尔夫而命名。这个变例,拥护者包括了菲舍尔和卡斯帕罗夫及其他人,是这样的:1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cd 4.Nd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 。
The Najdorf system in the Sicilian Defence has a legendary reputation as a defensive weapon for Black. It is an opening where people often strive for a full point, instead of simply defending the position with the black pieces. Many great players have contributed to the development of this complex opening. There were two world champions who formed much of their careers using the Najdorf system as their weapon of choice against 1.e4: Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov celebrated spectacular successes with it. Both players used the Najdorf (pronounced "ny-dorff", rhyming with "high-dwarf") during their child prodigy years and retained it as an important part of their repertoire during their entire careers.

Book Introduction
This is another fine book from Max Euwe, although written at a slightly higher level than Chess Master vs. Chess Amature. I especially recommend the first several chaptures on forming a queenside attack. Euwe writes in a style similar to Silman's popular Reassess Your Chess but covers more about the technique of carrying out an attack rather than the basic elements of the position. This makes it a book more suited for intermediate level players then beginners. Euwe often analysis subvariations for many moves which requires setting up several boards to follow him, but this effort is well worth it as he demonstrates the ideas behind the plan and the technique for exploiting common features in a position.
About the author
ChessCafe.com columnist and author Mark Dvoretsky is regarded as the leading chess coarch in the world, and in this series of books he reveals the training methods that have transformed so many of his pupils into champions. This first title is devoted to the endgame, and examines a wide range of positions, taken mainly from games of the author's pupils. The comments are packed with practical advice and special test positions and frequent questions that assure that the reader's participation in the book is an active one.
Book Introduction
Compared with the other books in this series, substantially more space is given to the analysis of the opening problems that confront a player in a particular game. The first half of the book is altogether devoted to the opening preparation, and in the second half, nearly every game is accompanied by detailed opening information.
Book Introduction
This third volume in Mark Dvoretsky's School of Chess Excellence series is devoted to questions of strategy aimed at improving the reader's positional understanding. The author also examines a number of positions that lie on the boundary between the middlegame and the endgame. As in the other books in the series, Dvoretsky uses examples from his own games and those of his pupils as well as episodes from other players' games.
Book Introduction
In this second book in his School of Chess Excellence series, Mark Dvoretsky looks at combinations and tactical techniques and suggests methods for developing a player's ability to calculate. Using a number of fascinating examples, he also analyzes methods of attack and defense. The book also includes special test positions and questions to engage and instruct the reader.
Book Introduction
This book is simply amazing. It covers many endgames in an in-depth and unique way. It shows players how to look for moves that they would otherwise ignore. It has enabled me to win or save many endgames that I would have otherwise been unable to fight. This book has many side variations however, making it extremely arduous to get through. However, I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to take their endgame skills to the next level.

About the author
Kotov, GrandMaster, had a number of good results as a player. One of his best early results was his second place finish in the 1939 USSR Championship, just missing out to Mikhail Botvinnik in the final round. This result won him the Grandmaster title, the third Soviet player to hold the title after Botvinnik and Grigory Levenfish. He won the title jointly with David Bronstein in 1948, and won at Venice in 1950, ahead of Vasily Smyslov.
Book Introdution
Kotov's trilogy of books Think Like a Grandmaster, Play Like a Grandmaster and Plan Like a Grandmaster are his best known, with Think Like... (which was translated into English by Bernard Cafferty and published by Batsford in 1971) being particularly famous. The book is not concerned with advising where pieces should be placed on the board, or tactical motifs, but rather with the method of thinking that should be employed during a game. Kotov's advice to identify "candidate moves" and methodically examine them to build up an "analysis tree" remains well known today.

This clear and thorough coverage of the most important, most frequently encountered endgame situations is one of the finest modern works on chess endings. With analysis of 331 examples, each with its own diagram, this book makes use of over 40 composed endgames by such famous figures as Cheron and Grigoriev, and of endings from 149 master games by such players as Smyslov, Marshall, Reshevsky, Tartakower, Keres, Euwe, Bronstein, Flohr, Botvinnik, Kotov, Capablanca, Alekhine, and many others.
In addition to approximately thirty examples of Queen endings, the book contains about a hundred examples each of Pawn endings, minor piece endings, and Rook endings. Each of these sections is precisely categorized. By working through all the examples in the book and the straight-forward rules for winning or losing in a given situation, the average chess player will gain an understanding of the ending that will be of immeasurable aid in any game situation.

About the author
Eugene Alexandrovich Znosko-Borovsky
As a player, Znosko-Borovsky fell short of the very highest accolades. He did however have some notable results in international competition, including Paris 1930, where he finished first without loss, ahead of Savielly Tartakower, Andrei Lilienthal and Jacques Mieses. Success often came in individual encounters with his more distinguished peers; he also won impressive games against Jose Raul Capablanca, Akiba Rubinstein, Max Euwe and Efim Bogoljubov as well as a short match with Edgard Colle in 1922. At simultaneous exhibition play, his record was the equal of any great master of the period.
In conversation and as a lecturer, teacher or writer of chess, his abilities were widely acknowledged, particularly in Russia and France where he also contributed regular articles and columns to magazines and newspapers. Indeed, it was in the field of writing that he excelled, penning many popular books including The Evolution of Chess (1910), Capablanca and The Muzio Gambit (both 1911). Capablanca and Alekhine followed World War I, How not to play Chess, How to play Chess Openings and The Art of Chess Combination.
Book Introduction
How to play Chess Openings
The author recommends understanding of the openings rather than to try to memorize endless variations. After giving the first principles of the openings, he then shows how the openings should be played using these principles. He also devotes a section on exploiting the weak squares of your opponent. He classifies the openings under four catagories, which is very helpful in organizing the ideas behind these openings.
How not to play Chess
What this book gives is a broad picture of what you are trying to achieve when you play chess. It takes you above the region of move by move analysis and sets you the task of viewing the game as a strategic whole. If you can grasp this high level view of the game of chess, you have a better chance of improving your game. This is a book about the thinking behind chess and the strategy element, as opposed to tactics.
Very short, very readable and entertaining, and a useful companion to quite a high level.
The Middle Game in Chess
Book Description
Superior introduction to most demanding part of chess. Basic concepts of middle game play are systematically and logically presented. Every significant idea is illustrated by well-chosen excerpts from master play, including games by Alekhine, Capablanca, Lasker, Reshevsky, Botvinnik, Marshall, Pillsbury, and other prominent players. 80 illustrations.
A Primer of Chess and Chess Fundermentals
About the Author
José Raoul Capablanca (1888-1942) was the World Chess Champion from 1921-1927. He is considered by many to be the finest natural players of all time--he lost only one game between 1914 and 1924. A member of the Chess Hall of Fame, he is honored by an annual tournament held in his name in Havana, Cuba, his home country.
Book Description
A Primer of Chess
A basic manual of chess by the master José Raul Capablanca, regarded as one of the half dozen greatest players ever. Capablanca was noted especially for his technical mastery, and in this book he explains the fundamentals as no one else could.
Chess Fundermentals
J.R. Capablanca was a World Chess Champion and one of the greatest players in chess history, yet he wrote very little about the game. Chess Fundamentals, though normally for the beginning player, contains valuable insights that will benefit players at all levels of understanding, including masters. Capablanca explains:
·How to obtain and nurture a passed pawn
·How to get and keep the initiative
·Cardinal rules for rook and pawn endings
·How to attack using knight as the main force
·How to cut off enemy pieces
Chess Fundamentals is one of the jewels of chess literature.
压缩包内包括了卡帕布兰卡所着的两本国际象棋的教程:A Primer of Chess and Chess Fundermentals。都是pdf格式。
1921年在祖国古巴获世界冠军。其逐渐成熟的棋风和一些构思巧妙的名局给人们留下了宝贵的财富,大家都一致认为"卡帕布兰卡是一位天才选手,在他的棋中蕴含着无与伦比的真正深度的美?!彼怨氏笃逡灿卸赖降募?,他说:"国际象棋无疑和绘画或雕刻是相同的艺术?!?br /> 用阿廖欣对其的评价是:"卡帕布兰卡是一位伟大的棋手,以他无以伦比的天份给国际象棋增添了许多美感?!?br />
作为1935~1937年国际象棋锦标赛冠军,虽然揽此桂冠仅仅2年时间,却在国际象棋历史上写下了他重重的一笔。他的伟大之处不仅在于他击败了着名的国际象棋大师Alekhine,更因为他创立了国际象棋的"中级比赛理论"。对于小型的比赛和大的锦标赛,Max Euwe更倾向于前者,因为他看重的是小型比赛中心理上的对峙。他非常擅长于以独特的心理手段占据上风,从而赢得比赛。除了国际象棋,Max Euwe还有很多业余爱好。他同时还是一位数学家。在荣膺国际象棋锦标赛冠军称号之后,Max Euwe又成为控制学理论的一位教授。然而,Max Euwe从未放弃过他对国际象棋的钟爱,从1970-1978年他一直担任国际棋联主席。

Have you noticed the new Delcher & Delcher look? Over the last couple of months, you've probably seen that black and gold has taken over our logo, e-newsletters, social media and even printed materials. Now, we're excited to unveil our new website.
Mortgage rates have climbed since the election on inflation fears in anticipation of renewed economic growth now that there is a pro business President in the White House along with both houses of Congress being controlled by the same party. The yield on the 10 year note has risen from 1.77 prior to the election to 2.35 today.
As real estate agents, we inherently know that there is something special about living in the Lowcountry. We're excited to share this article from The Island Packet. (From The Island Packet) BY ASHLEY FAHEY [email protected] After struggling through the Great Recession, the residential real estate market in Beaufort County is steadily climbing again. "The pendulum has swung back," said Edward Dukes, managing partner and broker-in-charge at Lowcountry Real Estate in Beaufort. Record flooding that plagued South Carolina last fall led to a temporary slump in sales, even in Beaufort County, which was largely unaffected by the high waters. "The perception was that South Carolina was closed," Dukes said. "A lot of people made assumptions about the area." The market bounced back, though, and ended on a high note. Total closed sales increased 3.5 percent in the Beaufort area, and 13.2 percent on Hilton Head Island, according to South Carolina Realtors' annual market report for 2015.
Sandie Major recently joined the Delcher & Delcher team as a buyer's agent. She will specialize in properties in the greater Bluffton area.

(Published in The Island Packet) When Charlie Reed founded Charter One Realty in 1986, he did not set out to create the No. 1 real estate company. "I wanted a company built on honesty and integrity, with professional Realtors who had the know-how to achieve the goals of buyers and sellers," Charlie said. Being the industry leader was a bonus.
There is nothing more emotional than your home. However, it's best to take the emotion out when selling your home. Instead, approach your home as something that is marketable. When you market something, you have to think about the potential buyer's point-of-view.
Hilton Head Island is famous! Here's a neat video with clips from various news and media outlets.
Open houses, local advertisements and online coverage often top the list for ways to sell a home. But home staging should take priority.

New seasons are before us, fall, football, and most importantly, we are first-time grandparents.
"Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes. How do you measure a year in the life. How about Love? Measure in Love. Seasons of Love. " from Seasons of Love by, Donny Osmond
How do we measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee. In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
Measure in Love. Seasons of Love.
Just three weeks ago, my friend, Gloria and I were sitting in the Wellstar Kennestone Hospital Labor and Delivery waiting room. Gloria, who is our son-in-law, Scott's Grandmother, asked me, "Joan, are you still writing blog posts on your Pages From Joan? I have not been getting any lately on my email."
This brief conversation reminded me that I truly had been wanting to get back into writing posts for my Pages. Connected on Facebook with many of you on my Monday Mood, Tuesday Thoughts, Wholehearted Wednesday, Thursday Talk, and Friday Food For Thought weekly posts, I knew, however, I had missed posts here on the web.
Thanks for that question and your constant encouragement, Gloria!
Yes, it is the middle of September.
A couple of weeks ago, in Marietta, Georgia, I was sitting outside in the early dawn holding a steaming, black cup of coffee with our lab, Gracie. An owl in the distance was finishing his hooting for the night as we sat. My mug with an image of a yawning, sleepy-eyed baby in hand. Our new grandson. Our first grandchild.
Here I am again hoping to add encouragement and inspiration to our lives.
Right at a time in our journey when a whole new adventure is beginning for us. As of Friday night, August 24, 2018, we became first-time grandparents with the birth of a boy named Michael Scott Andrews, 111, also known as Tripp. Rolling into our world, three weeks early, Tripp weighed 5 lb. 2 oz. and measured 17 1/2 inches long.
Mommy, our daughter, Leah, and baby are doing splendidly with the constant help and aid of Tripp's new Daddy, Scott. Watching Leah and Scott work as a team to nurture and care for this little guy has been nothing short of remarkable. Early on, Tripp required an around-the-clock feeding every two hours, even if this meant waking him up from a deep slumber to accomplish this.
And now, I find myself sitting in our son's family home in University City, a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri. Just over a week has passed since the arrival of our precious little baby granddaughter, Elizabeth Noel Page. Our two children had due dates that were one day apart. Our grands had a different plan and surprised us with birthdays in different months, two weeks to the day apart in age. Relieving Jessica's parents who have been so helpful during Elizabeth's first week of life, I am staying here for the next several nights to cook, do laundry, oh, and I might hold our new granddaughter a little, too.
Oh, and I am not sure if I told you this…neither family wanted to find out the gender of the little one until the baby announced it him/herself on the birthday! After all of the fun and surprises during childhood, there are so few events to be curious and surprised over in adulthood. Not knowing if we were having two girls, two boys, or one of each added fuel to the fire of excitement!
Ecstatic. Overjoyed. Contentment. Grace.
These are some of the descriptions that have come to mind at this season of our life journey.
I've been surprised by how much I have missed my Mama during this past few weeks. My three big sisters have helped share the excitement and enjoyment of our two new grands. However, Mama was right beside me at my time of first-time motherhood in October, 1988, and I have longed for her to be with me as a first-time grandmother.
Thankfully, I've had the blessing of being next to Leah, along with Scott's Mom, Cindy, who has been such a help to her. I am also getting the chance to spend time with our son and his bride as she experiences first-time motherhood. I am in awe with how calm and at ease both of our girls have been with their little ones.
Besides that, it has astonished me how the memories of my experience as a first-time Mommy to Leah have come pouring back to me.
I did not know how much my husband Pop and I would love these new little people, the children of our children.
The Circle of Life has never been so evident and clear to my heart.
I now know why they call these children GRANDchildren. Tripp and Elizabeth are surely grand to us.
My hope is that you and I will be inspired, encouraged, and learn new things as we journey on together through my PAGES from Joan. My goal to stay fit physically, spiritually, and emotionally has never been stronger than it is today. A grandmama, "Jojo" who plays on the floor and initiates adventures with these two grands is who I aim to be.
The Beat Goes On!

Sales Tax Referendum

- Hits: 5088
Capital Projects Sales Tax Referendum
When voters go to the polls on November 6, the following County Sales and Use Tax (Capital Projects Sales Tax Act) Referendum will be on the ballot,
If the referendum passes, the items listed on the ballot will benefit from the one cent on the dollar sales tax of projected revenue for the next eight years. This tax is a fair way to create revenue for much-needed county pro-jects, Property owners currently bear the bulk of tax responsibility. Over the eight years, a one-cent tax will generate almost $9 million. Increasingly, counties are using CPST revenue to supplement property taxes and state revenue shortfalls. Over the next few weeks, you will see flyers and signs about the referendum, and a public meeting will be held prior to November 6 for questions and answers. Additionally, the list must be voted in as a whole. If the referendum passes, Saluda County will have the opportunity to make positive changes! Please, support this referendum! Thank you!

The Thrill of the Hunt Saluda's
2nd Annual Extravaganza Expo
Most, if not everyone, have watched or at least has heard of the television shows Antiques Roadshow and American Pickers. Although collecting has always been a hobby for some, these, as well as other similar shows, have increased the popularity of collecting and picking for individuals across the United States. Everyone either collects something or they know someone who does.
Everyone has their own story behind why they collect what they do. Often collections connect people to a period or time that they feel strongly about. This is why many collect nostalgic items that remind them of and allow them to relive their childhood. For example, at last year's Extravaganza Expo, there was a man who purchased a farm bell because it reminded him of the special times that he spent at his grandparents when he was growing up. There was also a woman who was at the Expo who was looking for a Tip Cola bottle because she remembered enjoying these drinks back in the 1940s, and this bottle she was searching for had to have "Edgefield, SC" on it because that was her home town. Others collect items that indicate a specific interest. Vintage duck decoys were among some of the favorite Expo purchases last year of a young couple who were decorating their first home with hunting décor.
You name it; someone collects it: old toys, cast iron, antique and vintage furniture, vintage tools, head vases, old bottles, pottery, primitives, vintage bicycles, gas and oil memorabilia, advertising signs, and the list goes on. Often collecting is a quest, a lifelong pursuit of these types of items the collector is passionate about.
Not only do collectors enjoy the hunt for their passion, they also relish good conversation with life-long collectors as well as those just thinking about starting a collection. These conversations include talk about what they collect or want to collect, the best places to go to hunt for additions to their collections, their most prized piece in their collection, and even the one that got away.
It doesn't matter what you are passionate about, what your collections consist of, or if you just want to find something special for your home or man cave, you are sure to have good conversation with other lookers, shoppers, collectors, and vendors both local and even states away, while experiencing the thrill of the hunt at the 2nd annual Extravaganza Expo at Saluda Pickers. This year's Expo will take place October 19–20 at 605 Johnston Hwy, Saluda.

Basic Information
This policy outlines development methods and testing of Dev4Press plugins and themes.
Due to the wide range of different WordPress, PHP and MySQL versions, it is impossible to support every version of these, and many of the plugins and themes features are dependent on the WordPress development and available functionalities.
Because of that, development practices and policy is changing over time, and here you will always see an updated version that follows the development of WordPress. This development policy relates to current plugins on Dev4Press. Legacy and retired plugins and themes development are not ongoing, and their system requirements are not updated.
Last Updated: 01.13.2020.
All current Dev4Press plugins support PHP 5.6 and newer, including the latest PHP 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4. Most plugins will work even with PHP 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5, but we are no longer testing with these PHP versions. PHP 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 are no longer supported by the PHP team, they are potential security risks (because they are no longer updated) and they should not be used! All Dev4Press plugins and are tested with the latest releases for PHP 5.6, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4.
This policy will remain in effect until the end of 2020, and after that, PHP 5.6 support will be dropped.
WordPress.org recommends PHP 7.0 and newer for use with WordPress.
Last Updated: 01.13.2019.
All current Dev4Press plugins support WordPress 4.9 and newer, including the latest WordPress 5.3. In the future, we will test and support our plugins and themes with the latest 5 major WordPress versions. Once WordPress 5.5 is released, we will stop testing with WordPress 4.9. Depending on individual plugins, this policy can be different based on the WordPress features plugin requires.
Most plugins should work with WordPress 4.0 to 4.8 but we are no longer testing with these versions. Also, some plugins have specific requirements that will require version 4.5 or 4.6, so make sure to check out the individual plugin requirements.
This policy will be updated each time a new major WordPress version is released.
Last Updated: 08.11.2019.
All current Dev4Press plugins support ClassicPress 1.0. Depending on the ClassicPress development, Dev4Press plugins should work fine for as long as ClassicPress remains WordPress compatible. Depending on the ClassicPress changes in the future, Dev4Press plugins might include code specific to ClassicPress.
This policy will be updated each time a new major ClassicPress version is released.
Last Updated: 01.28.2020.
All current Dev4Press plugins for bbPress support bbPress 2.5 or newer. Once the bbPress 2.7 is released, bbPress 2.5 support will be dropped.
We support only unmodified version of the bbPress. Forked or bundled versions of bbPress are not supported. BuddyBoss Platform, for instance, contains modified bbPress 2.5.14, and due to the nature of changes made, we do not support use of our plugins with BuddyBoss Platform!
This policy will be updated each time a new major bbPress version is released.
Last Updated: 11.02.2018.
All current Dev4Press plugins support the same MySQL versions as WordPress does. But, we also test with community MySQL replacement projects like MariaDB. In general, we test with MySQL 5.5, 5.6, MariaDB 5.5 and 10, but every plugin and theme should work fine with any MySQL since version 5.0.3.
WordPress recommends MySQL 5.6 and MariaDB 10 for use with WordPress.
Last Updated: 11.02.2018.
All current Dev4Press plugins and themes are tested with the most current versions of browsers for different operating systems:
- MS Windows: Internet Explorer, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi, and Chrome
- Android: Chrome and Opera
- Linux: Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi and Chrome
- MacOS: Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Vivaldi, and Safari
- iOS: Chrome and Safari
We test using the latest stable versions of supported browsers. Our plugins and themes may function correctly in older or other, less popular browsers, but we only officially support listed browsers. We support current and previous versions of all supported browsers.
MS Internet Explorer 11 is supported, versions 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are no longer supported.
Development Setup
Last Updated: 01.13.2020.
The development setup includes multiple Apache/PHP/MySQL server combinations. But, the main development setup is based on Apache 2.4.25, MySQL 5.6, PHP 7.3.13. And, main development is always done on the latest version of WordPress, currently 5.3.

420 Aero Disc Tubeless (pair)
AC Road Tubeless Technology
AC tubeless wheels take rim technology to the next level. Our mountain bikers are successfully riding and racing tubeless, and now this innovation is available for our AC road riders. Our tubeless wheels are set up with a base layer of AC fiber tape covering the spoke holes and two layers of AC honey colored tape to seal the rim. Next, install tubeless ready clincher tires and pump liquid sealant into the system through our proven AC valves. The liquid sealant replaces the conventional tube.
You may ask how our tubeless system works. Bill Shook designed the rim with a bead barb running along the edge of the bead shelf. When installed, the tire firmly pops into position over the bead barb. The tire bead centers and tightly grips the circumference of the rim creating a sealed environment to hold the liquid sealant without burping.
The number one reason to run tubeless wheels is to avoid flat tires. In the event of a puncture, the sealant quickly fills and closes small holes in the tire preventing flats caused by glass, metal and other debris. Pinch flats can not occur as the tube is not part of the system.
Our tubeless system is about speed. It lowers wheel weight at the extreme outer edge of the rim resulting in lower rolling resistance and better performance. In a traditional clincher set up, the tire and tube interface moves as the wheel rolls, creating friction and energy loss. With the AC tubeless set up, there is no frictional energy loss between the tire and tube because the tube is gone. Liquid sealant is lighter than a tube. You can ride lighter weight tires with our tubeless system because you don't have to use tires made with heavy, inflexible puncture layers. Overall, our tubeless system is lighter and the wheel will spin up faster with less rider energy output. And the best part is flat tires are past history.
