Lessons to be learned from Urumqi
August 27, 2009
Now that some time has elapsed, it is useful to revisit the troubles that broke out in Urumqi on early July. These comments are not judgmental and are intended to expose the lack of mutual understanding and misperceptions between Europeans and Chinese, and the need for dialogue in all sectors of society and at all levels.
The key negative feelings which prevail are:
By the Chinese:
• The troubles were orchestrated by a separatist clique based outside China and organised by its branches inside the country.
• The Europeans did not express the support for the restoration of order which the Chinese believe they deserved.
• The Europeans did not show the same condemnation of Uighur terrorists as they do for alleged human rights violations generally in China.
• The muted reaction in Europe was partially due to prejudiced reporting in the media.
• The Uighurs should be satisfied with their double-digit growth economy, their 23 000 mosques and an administration in which more than half the civil servants come from ethnic minorities.
By the Europeans:
• The troubles were internal and Chinese allegations of external interference are unsubstantiated.
• The Chinese authorities used disproportionate force and subsequent imprisonment.
• Although, unlike Tibet, the media were invited into Urumqi at the outset, restrictions were subsequently placed on them and they were not prepared to accept official versions of events.
• Whatever the immediate reason for the outbreak of violence, Chinese policy towards the Uighurs has been repressive.
Some comments on the foregoing:
• Europeans should look more closely whether American NGOs provide financial and other support for Rebiya Nadeer and the Uighur Congress.
• Are the Chinese authorities sufficiently sensitive to the Uighurs? If not, is this due to Beijing's policy and/or the manner of its application locally?
• Is it in Chinese interests to give to European journalists, greater freedom to report, despite the risks involved?
• Language restricts Europeans from having a greater understanding of Chinese public opinion, and learning Chinese should be strongly promoted.
• The Chinese authorities must improve their communications to Europeans.
• We all need always to try to understand how the other side sees the issue and the context in which it is seen. This is where misperceptions arise, frequently distorted by political activists.

If the movie industry gave out awards for Most Accurate Title, the Catalan writer and director Albert Serra's new film would walk away with one. As it happens, Mr. Serra did receive France's prestigious Jean Vigo award for "The Death of Louis XIV," which stars Jean-Pierre Léaud as the French monarch.
Louis XIV reigned for 72 years, until his death in 1715. He knew no other life save that of king. Mr. Serra's depiction of the monarch's final days shows a mostly bedridden Louis keeping to his dimly lit, ornately appointed bedroom. Bedecked in elaborate clothing and ridiculously oversize hairpieces, he is initially in a relatively content state. He gossips and indulges in what some might call mild locker-room talk with his doctors, asking one whether a certain marquise is beautiful naked. This state doesn't last. He has night sweats; he calls for water; when water is brought to him, he demands that it be served in a particular piece of crystal. It was perhaps once good to be the king; now it's confusing. And it will get worse before he gives up the ghost.
Mr. Léaud, who has been a star of French cinema for most of his life (at 13, he created the character of Antoine Doinel in François Truffaut's 1959 classic, "The 400 Blows"), clearly knows something about living in a kind of box, and he plays Louis as a tired but majestic wreck. He's riveting, and a little alarming. As for Mr. Serra, while he often enjoys playing the foppish provocateur in his interviews, his film is sober, meticulous and entirely convincing in its depiction of period and mortality.

Have you ever noticed that the kinder you are to your body, that is, the more sleep you have, the more water you drink and the better the quality of food that you eat, you don't only feel better but your skin is clearer and brighter too?
It makes sense then doesn't it that the more natural and pure the products that you use as part of your skincare regime, the closer you'll be to achieving that porcelain, flawless kind of skin you typically see on the cover of magazines, only minus the airbrushing!
Organic has become the buzzword of the beauty industry with more and more companies and salons tapping into the appeal and benefits of holistic beauty
treatments. Created from herbs, fruits, flower buds and natural oils, organic products are not only an alternative to today's chemical filled products, they also yield increased revitalizing and healing properties.
An organic facial will feel like any standard treatment you've experienced only the products will be free from the chemicals and harmful toxins contained in many currently available in the market. They'll usually also be customised to suit your specific skincare needs, be they moisturizing, clearing or anti-aging. Often they'll be made from ingredients you'd typically find in your home – oatmeal, honey, avocado and cucumber.
A growing number of day spas have incorporated organic beauty services and treatments into their treatment menus. In fact, you may have even already
experienced one without knowing or perhaps commented on the glowing effects that a friend has achieved through her own organic processes. Just to be
sure though, next time you book in for a facial, ask whether or not they have an organic option… you would never consider eating a concoction of harmful chemicals so why would you want to put one on your face?

The auditor general's office is drilling down on travel and office expenses claimed by senators as part of the detailed accounting of how members of the Senate spend taxpayers' money, CBC News has learned.
The RCMP have zeroed in on travel and office expenses filed by senators Pamela Wallin and Mike Duffy during their investigations into the spending of the suspended Conservative senators.
CBC News spoke with a dozen senators, both Liberal and Conservative, to determine the scope of the review by Auditor General Michael Ferguson.
All spoke on condition of anonymity because auditors have demanded secrecy about the nature of the audits.
The senators say teams of up to four auditors have done at least one interview, and in many cases multiple interviews, with nearly half of the 96 sitting senators (there are nine vacancies in the 105-seat Senate).
Retired members of the Upper Chamber are not exempt from this exhaustive audit. CBC News has learned that forensic accountants are reaching back to interview senators who left the Senate in the past several years.
A number of common threads emerge from interviews conducted so far. They include:
- Pointed questions are being asked about the reasons for travel, which suggests auditors are looking for senators who did partisan political work or other non-Senate work while they charged taxpayers for Senate business.
- Detailed queries about billing taxpayers for meals on days when they were fed on airplanes. Auditors have sought records from Air Canada, Porter and WestJet about specific flights senators took.
- Requests for copies of contracts awarded to outside suppliers.
- Lengthy inquiries about the nature of the work done by office staff. Those inquiries are followed by employee interviews to verify senators' responses.
But the interviews aren't solely concerned with travel and office expenses. Some senators have also been asked about their housing claims. Auditors are looking to confirm claims of primary residence by visiting those senators' homes.
The auditors are also combing through lists of gifts senators have given to visitors.
Interesting timing
One senator described the reviews as "all over the map'' and geared to the spending habits of individual senators.
The audit was ordered by the Senate in response to the expenses scandal that dominated much of parliamentary business last year.
That scandal led to the suspension of Conservative-appointed senators Duffy, Wallin and Patrick Brazeau (a Liberal-appointed senator, Mac Harb, who also fell under public scrutiny, retired before the others were suspended).
The RCMP have already charged Brazeau and Harb with fraud and breach of trust.
All are accused of pocketing housing and travel allowances they weren't entitled to receive. All insist they followed the rules established by the Senate.
Those rules have been derided as a vague set of guidelines based on an honour system under which expenses were entered merely as "Senate business" to be approved. That system has now been eliminated.
Ferguson has said he hopes to have the reviews done by the end of this year.
But the senators contacted by CBC News said that timetable appears out of reach. They describe the interviews as detailed and time-consuming. Most have been asked to produce additional documentation. Several predict the process will cost millions of dollars. None of them expect the audits to be done until December at the earliest and more likely sometime in the spring.
The timing will be interesting, and potentially significant. The later Ferguson's final report is released, the closer it gets to a federal election scheduled for the fall of 2015.
With the Supreme Court of Canada having dealt a mortal blow to Harper's plans for Senate reform, the audit findings would be potential fodder for the campaign trail.

This IS Why I SERVE
by Darren Young, Makarios Director of Health
The other day, I bought a coffin for a patient who had died. I had never done this before, however, I was
able to serve the family by providing emotional support and praying with them. I know I serve Christ and
not man, but it's hard when something like this happens. At only 52 years of age, this man was the
father of an extremely poor Haitian family living in the Dominican Republic. We have four of his six kids
in school at Makarios. This is why I serve.
As a medical missionary, I really admire the life of missionary doctor David Livingstone. He spent his life
in Africa, treating all sorts of diseases while preaching the good news of the gospel - his main purpose.
He is a true example of sacrifice and service for the greater cause. Yet, this is what he had to say
about his life:
"People talk of the sacrifice I have made in spending so much of my life in Africa…Is that a
sacrifice which brings its own blest reward? Away with the word in such a view, and with such a
thought! It is emphatically no sacrifice. Say rather it is a privilege. Anxiety, sickness, suffering, or
danger…All these are nothing when compared with the glory which shall be revealed in and for
us. I never made a sacrifice."
How many Christians today could say that serving is a privilege? When my family left for the
Dominican Republic, people praised our "sacrifice" in leaving behind the comforts of the American
lifestyle. But I now know it truly is a privilege to be able to serve, and I try to have an eternal
perspective on our work.
It is easy to let our desires rule us or to lose focus of our priorities. Often, you may think, "I'm too busy
to serve," or, "I don't feel like serving." It's not about our feelings; it's about being obedient to what our
Lord has called us to do. It is so easy to be involved in the business of our schedules that we forget
why we are doing what we are doing. Ask God what he wants you to do in the lives of others. Part of
service is figuring out what people truly need and being prepared to serve in a way that you may not
Colossians 3:23-24 says, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing
that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ."
Certainly our Father in heaven has a well-defined plan for each of His children, and the extent to which
that plan is found and followed determines how you will attain completeness and true greatness.
It truly is a privilege to serve. Remember the words of David Livingstone: "I never made a sacrifice."
How Can I SERVE?
in your path. Make this an intentional habit that becomes part of your life. (Galatians 6:10)

Thanks Darren! It's exciting for me to see people I went to school w/still serving the Lord - and what an awesome work He is allowing you to do!

Does a eu adapter cover all european countries?
over 9 years ago about All Locations
I think I'll most likely need a separate uk adapter as well. If backpacking (indefinitely) what travel adapters would you advise? uk, eu, & us (my plugs are aussie)
Appreciate the advise in advance :-) Emma.
Asked by Emma via Travellr.com
1 Answer
EU adaptors cover most EU countries. However, the UK has a different plug which you can get an adaptor for. Also, the Scandanavian countries have a different one. You may also come across a different plug in Italy/Switzerland.
You can buy universal adaptors before you go or when you get there, and if you don't want to buy one, most hostels rent out adaptors when you need them so that you don't have to carry one around with you. over 9 years agoAnswered by Alex Siegers via Travellr.com

Quantity Discounts
Much of our bead collection is the result of many hours in thrift stores, closeout warehouses, yard sales, flea markets, antique stores and acquisitions of dealer collections. Some of our other beads are unused vintage stock, also purchased more than 30 years ago. As a result, quantities of many of our vintage beads are very limited -- and we feel that those beads are all the more special and rare because we can't replace them once they are sold. Given the time invested in seeking them out over the years -- and given that they are irreplaceable -- we are not offering quantity discounts on vintage stock.
We will negotiate quantity discounts on some new stock that can be reordered. Feel free to contact us
We are happy to answer any questions you may have about any of the pieces you see -- or any pieces you don't see, because not all of our collection is currently online! We have a large collection of vintage jewelry, beads and components that we have not listed-- so please don't hesitate to email us.
Layaway is available for jewelry purchases over $300. We require 1/3 of the total invoice at inception of layaway, 1/3 in 30 days and 1/3 in 60 days. Please email or call us for arrangements.

Greta Van Fleet, Mother Mother, Bahamas, and Buffy Sainte-Marie at Brockton Fields, 9/9/18
By the third day of the inaugural Skookum Festival in Stanley Park, most festival-goers were decked out in their most rain-appropriate gear. Ponchos were widespread, and the music did not let up even once. The festival managed to stay on-schedule, which is pretty impressive for a rookie gig of this size.
The fairly new rock group Greta Van Fleet took the Skyline stage early in the evening, and killed it. Absolutely killed it. The band, consisting of brothers Josh, Jake and Sam Kiszka, and drummer Danny Wagner, are constantly being compared to Led Zeppelin. And from the first few notes out of lead singer Josh Kisza's mouth, it was more than evident that this 22-year-old is the modern-day Robert Plant.
The group was high-energy, moving through their small but powerful discography with plenty of sweat and powerfully epic guitar solos. The group was decked out in quintessential 70s rock garb and feathers, and Josh Kisza was all mischievous grins and powerhouse vocal climbs. Original tracks "Highway Tune," "Safari Song" and "Black Smoke Rising" no doubt pleased fans and made more than a few new ones yesterday. It was quite something to behold. Who says rock and roll is dead?
Vancouver's own Mother Mother took the Skyline stage after Greta Van Fleet. They were a decently fun time … but after the raw power and talent of GVF, it was hard to really be impressed. Mother Mother pulled out some all-time favourites like "O My Heart" and "Burning Pile," and you could tell that the B.C. group had a loyal following present at Skookum. All in all, the set was enjoyable, but not memorable.
Meanwhile, Ontario-bred Bahamas (Alfie Jurvanen) was on the Mountain stage, giving one of the most lovely sets of the day. Feel-good beach vibes were the order of the hour, and festival-goers swayed and grinned dreamily throughout the whole Bahamas stint.
"No Wrong" and "I Got You" were the epitome of chill, and caused more than one group of friends to put their arms around each other. Jurvanen obviously felt the love and attention of the audience, which fed his banter with the crowd. The sky literally cleared up during the Bahamas set: "look, blue sky," said Jurvanen. And it was a pretty beautiful moment.
"Caught Me Thinkin" from 2012's Barchords was the highest point in a set that, frankly, was near-perfect.
"So chill," Jurvanen said between songs. Indeed.
Buffy Sainte-Marie has been on a real career high lately. It was a shame her set on the Forest stage ran parallel to the much anticipated Father John Misty show back at Skyline. The crowd loved her, but much of Skookum ran to view the papa in his full white-suited swagger and glory. Sainte-Marie is an iconic artist whose Medicine Songs album deserves to be sung to a rain-soaked Stanley Park crowd. Those who took in her raspy, intimate performance of "You Got to Run," were grateful for her presence.

Machu Picchu and beyond: A tour through Peru will take your breath away
From the lively capital Lima and deep into the Sacred Valley, Peru offers vibrant culture, stunning views and a sense of wonder
Article content continued
Standing in the cloud forest, nearly 8,000 feet above sea level and looking out on the verdant Andean vista in the distance with ruins of an ancient Incan civilization sprawled out in the saddle of two peaks directly in front of me was a breath-taking moment.
After a spectacular train ride from Cusco, a somewhat bumpy bus ride and making it through the hordes of people entering the site — which is one of the new Seven Wonders of the World — I'd come to a large viewing area where I could stop in relative peace and finally take it all in.
Machu Picchu did not disappoint.
The remote destination has become so popular (attracting more than 1.4-million people a year) that the Peruvian government restricted the number of visitors and insisted everyone go with a certified tour guide last year.
Wagner Casos, a Machu Picchu guide with 20 years of experience, explained to my small, international group from Toronto-based tour company G Adventures that there are a lot of theories about the roughly 568-year-old site, which is said to have been rediscovered by Hiram Bingham, an American explorer, in 1911. And so rather than state anything as "fact" Casos prefaced his tour with the warning that most of what he'd tell us was based on what's "believed to be true."
It must be said that Casos, who graduated from tourism and civil engineering at San Antonio University in Cusco, is well-informed in terms of what is "believed to be true."
He explains that, back in the day, astronomers lined up the positioning of the windows on the sun temple to match the sunrise on the winter and summer solstices. All the buildings have windows and alcoves with an angular slope for more stability (to absorb the shock in case of earthquakes) and the Incans built aqueducts to provide water for agriculture and general use.
Article content continued
Throughout the site, there are remarkable examples of Incan ingenuity. It's estimated that about 800 to 1,000 people lived in the 100 homes here. And about 70 per cent of the site, believed to have been built between 1430 and 1532, is intact. The views and ambiance of the place are remarkable. But so too was the journey to get there.
My trip began in the Peruvian capital, Lima. The historic centre showcases squares and statues that tell the story of how the country gained its independence from Spain on July 28, 1821. Before that, it was known as the City of Kings. According to Alexandra Monzon Chavez, my guide from the tour company Best Bite Peru, it was the most important city in the South American Spanish colonial district, which was founded in 1535.
"I really do love Lima because … I'm in a rich area with lots of history, traditions and culture," Chavez says, adding that along with the native Incas and Spanish settlers, immigrants from Africa, Japan, China and Europe have all contributed to the cosmopolitan city.
We visit the Main Square, Plaza Bolivar and the Congress before crossing Avenue Abancay and getting into the hustle and bustle of the city. We went to the Mercado Central and tasted some of the amazing foods — the granadilla fruit, chichi morada (a juice made of purple corn) and arroz con leche (a dessert with purple corn).
Afterwards, I went to Barranco, Lima's Bohemian barrio, with fantastic wall murals and interesting little shops and galleries. And in the evening, I enjoyed dinner on the terrace at Huaca Pucllana, an archaeological site with ruins dating back to the fifth century.
Article content continued
Lima is becoming more and more of a food destination, thanks to a wonderful array of fresh produce from the land and the ocean, a mix of cultures and creative chefs.
So I had to squeeze in a cooking class to learn how to make two very important dishes — ceviche and the local cocktail, a pisco sour (made with lime, egg white, sugar, ice, pisco and Angostura bitters). Best Bite Peru gave an excellent class on both after giving me a tour of the municipal market (much smaller than the central market, but which still has an impressive bounty of seafood from the nearby Pacific Ocean and fresh fruits and veg).
While there's much to do and see in the capital, Cusco beckoned. Flying into the Andean city, which was once the capital of the Incan Empire, was spectacular.
Located about 11,000 feet above sea level, the high-altitude city is quite literally breath-taking. Luckily, thanks to altitude pills and a bit of the suggested local remedy of cocoa tea, I seemed to adjust alright — though I did feel sluggish when I climbed the three flights of stairs to my hotel room.
Cusco is a Unesco World Heritage site and is the oldest, continuously inhabited city in the Americas. Founded in the 12th century, today you can see good examples of both Incan and colonial architecture.
The city's Coricancha — the temple of the sun — is a fascinating example. Its Incan foundations, believed to have been built around 1200, are still intact and these days support a Spanish-built cathedral.
Article content continued
The historic centre has interesting buildings and squares with views of the surrounding Andes. Sometimes though it's the unexpected sights that leave an indelible mark on your memory.
And the Sacred Valley struck me not only as a place of stunning beauty, but also as somewhere that's home to warm, creative and friendly people. I was lucky enough to visit some of the smaller towns where Indigenous people are keeping their culture and past alive.
The Ccaccaccollo Women's Weaving Co-op, about 26 kilometres north of Cusco, is one such place, where communities maintain a traditional agrarian lifestyle. Launched in 2005, the co-op is run by about 46 locals who collect and naturally dye wool, before making it into beautiful scarves, sweaters, hats and the like.
At the Parque de la Papa, in the Pampallacta community, I learned about the abundance of potatoes (there are more than 3,000 varieties here, some of which can be stored and preserved for years). About 6,500 people from neighbouring communities farm the land and have been working to preserve the seeds and varieties.
At Parwa Community Restaurant, in Huchuy Qosqo, I enjoyed a farm-to-table meal of Peruvian cuisine — with quinoa, salads and stuffed peppers. All of these places are nestled in the Sacred Valley, which was the heart of the Inca Empire and runs from the town of Pisac to Ollantaytambo.
The green hills that embrace the Urubamba River are idyllic; just driving by can lull one into a sort of reverie. Add ancient ruins to the mix and the odd town or settlement, and it's easy to see how meandering through the valley, which leads to Machu Picchu, is really a wonderful way to explore this country.

I'm Emily Neuburger – artist, teacher, author, and freelance children's craft designer. I live with my husband and two daughters in the beautiful Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts where natural beauty, community, music, farmland, amazing fresh yogurt, and innovative art collide.
Throughout my teaching career, I've been especially interested in how art informs writing and how writing informs art, and how both nurture people's capacity to imagine. When I was a child, my favorite toys to play with were my special pens, rainbow paperclip collection, books, markers, and my teacher's plan book. By the time I was 22, not much had changed, so I went on to receive my Masters of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T) at Smith College. I brought my special pens to two Massachusetts high schools where I taught English and writing. I loved teaching and was smitten with my students and colleagues, but when my first child was born, I decided to work from home while I parented and grew my work as an artist and educator. The beauty of balancing my particular work with parenting is that my children provide inspiration and are often eager participants in most of what I do. For this, I count my lucky stars.
Small moments and unlikely treasures have always felt magical to me, and I find myself documenting them in my own artwork. Threaded throughout my creations are simple lines, organic shapes, vibrant colors, and re-purposed materials. In 2008, I sold my artwork at local and regional markets and my business, Red Bird Crafts, was born. In 2009, I started my Red Bird Crafts blog, in 2010 I began teaching private classes and workshops, and in August 2012, my educational craft and activity book, Show Me a Story: 40 Craft Projects and Activities to Spark Children's Storytelling, was published by Storey Publishing.
I'm passionate about developing imaginative art for old and young, and my background in education fuels my passion for making designs that encourage people to tell stories. Embedded in each carefully designed project is the hope that it will inspire imaginative thought, and at the same time, spread around a little bit of joy. I teach creative arts, to both children and adults, out of my home studio/classroom as well as in museums, libraries, and schools. My curriculum is a nice, balanced blend of skill-based learning and creative encouragement and is based on my book, Show Me a Story. I've been honored to visit amazing venues such as the Boston Public Library, the Manhattan Children's Museum, Boston Children's Museum, the Chicago Children's Museum, the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art as well as many schools, libraries and non-profit centers for education.
Many of my craft projects for children have been published across the web on popular sites such as Poppytalk, Apartment Therapy, Crafty Crow, Craftzine, and in both Family Fun and Parenting print magazines. I authored FamilyFun Magazine's Everyday Fun blog and contribute regularly to their print magazine.
I continue to feel thankful each day to be a part of a wondrous community of artists, educators, parents, and friends. What a gift!
Thank you for joining me here, and please be in touch!

The Scout (black) casing for Samsung galaxy S6 is the state of the art casing that is very pleasing to the eye and anyone can find it beneficial for other things too.
I would not have anything to take from this posh casing apart from the fact that if black is not your favorite color then you might not like it. But even if that is the case then there is a variety of colors to choose from.
The smartest android phone (why have a casing)
After spending a good amount of money to purchase a high-quality premium product, you need to take the necessary steps to ensure that the product is well protected and does not get destroyed. It's nice sometimes to protect your investment. With its high level of efficiency, Samsung Galaxy S6 needs to be handled with maximum care because nobody wants to risk breaking or damaging the high technology device. This new model of phone has changed the lives of many of its excellent features and the high level of technology. After breaking history with the new invention, the manufacturer of the Android phone went ahead and invented the best casing of the phone that met all the customer requirements in one package.
This casing is like nothing you have ever seen before. Samsung saw the need to give the phone the high class it required by inventing an excellent black casing for the phone. The housing alone brings out the idea that whatever is inside is something precious and adorable. A great number of people risk carrying their galaxy S6 without a casing just because the available cases are the ordinary and low-quality cases that degrade the nature of the phone. After investing such a great deal of money in purchasing the awesome phone, the buyer needs the world to see it and appreciate its remarkable features, as a result nobody wants to hide all the beauty in some ordinary casing. They never want to carry a phone worth over $100USD in a $1 casing.
In the past, most phone manufacturers spent a lot of time and technology in inventing a new brand of phone, but they forgot the most crucial requirement that was the phone casing. Some people are magnificent at dropping all their phones hence they are afraid of investing in a phone that they will eventually drop and destroy. However, Samsung had these people in mind when designing the S6 black casing that protects the screen and the entire phone upon falling. After listening and analyzing the customer demands, Samsung decided to give the customers just what they needed. A phone casing that fit the classy nature of the phone and one that is worth spending extra dollars. This amazing casing is now the current Galaxy S6 housing; Scout (black). The housing is black in color that is a universal color and brings out the cool nature of the phone.
The Scout (black) casing
The Scout (black) housing is specially designed for Galaxy S6, and currently goes for $39.95USD. This price is fair as compared to its nature and the service it gives your phone. This casing protects the phone from breaking the glass screen on falling. The housing also protects the phone upon dropping in water. The HD screen guard is crystal clear with rear skid buds and soft rubberized screen that protect the phone from abrasions and scratches. The Scout (black) housing is water proof that makes it resistant to water penetration. The housing is very useful, and a must-own if you purchased an S6 model because with its frog skin technology it prevents water from penetrating into the phone. This feature is absent in other tablet covers and gives the Scout (black) housing its uniqueness properties.
The casing holds up to three credit cards. When you are going out and want to grab a few items like the phone and a credit card or two, the S6 casing is a life saver; it can hold up to three credit cards. This unique feature of S6 enables you to walk comfortably around with the essential features you need without the burden of your purse or wallet.
The Scout housing meets the military standards that determines the effects of environmental stresses on the equipment throughout its entire lifetime. The MIL-STD-810 provides a series of the standard procedure that are used to analyze specific features in equipment. The military was the first to utilize the technology but currently, other institutions can access it as well. The technology examines certain aspects of equipment that include
- Analyze the performance of the equipment when exposed to different environmental stresses.
- Determine environmental stresses durations, sequences and levels of equipment lifecycle.
- Identifies deficiencies and shortcomings in the design of the equipment.
- Designates compliance with contractual requirements
- Breaks down and ascertains the equipment lifecycle.
These standards are quite high, and most equipment fails to beat them. The fact that this housing beat all of them is an assurance of its high and its assured long-term survival and durability.
The perfectly cut front side of the casing allows for uncompromised audio when making a phone call with the housing closed. The front side of the housing also has engineered bezel that deflects unwanted flash when taking a selfie. This feature allows the user to take high-quality photos without unwanted flash.
The low profile casing easily slides in and out of the user's pocket ensuring easy access to the phone. The generous ports provide easy access to the phone without removing the casing especially during charging. The tactile buttons also provide easy access to all buttons of the phone. Many people love the S6 because of its light nature. The casing is feather-light and does not add any unnecessary weight to the phone.

The CJ Performing Arts Department invites you to learn the vital importance of being earnest at this year's fall play, running November 15-17 in the auditorium.
Written by Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest follows Jack Worthing, played by freshman Jacob Troutwine, as he attempts to woo the beautiful Gwendolen, played by senior Kaylee Piatt. Hilarity ensues in this Victorian era comedy as the plot twists and turns to reveal the takeaway echoed in the show's title.
On Wednesday, Nov. 13, 6th graders from Holy Angels and St. Peter were invited to take part in a performing arts workshop with CJ students.
"One of the themes of this play is triviality," said Caitlin Bennett, director and producer. "Wilde pokes fun at how we focus too much on the little things in life and tries to show the value of being honest and true to one's self."
The play, considered by many to be Wilde's greatest work, humorously examines some of the social norms and values in place in England during the late 19th century. Consequently, the script's unique vernacular and unfamiliar references challenged cast members to overcome a cultural and generational learning curve on top of memorizing lines and parts, said Bennett.
"The neat thing about the kids we have is that we are able to push them and challenge them to go beyond what even they thought was possible," she said.
"Mrs. Bennett has done a great job getting everything together and pushing us," said Warren Reynolds, understudy for the lead role. The senior is participating in his first performing arts theater production on the CJ stage.
"A football injury last year freed up my fall, and I decided to add theater and acting classes to my schedule after some encouragement from Mrs. Bennett, so by the time the fall play came around I decided to try something new," he said.
"It was a great choice and I've made a lot of great friends. I've also received a lot of support from fellow cast members who've been in plays year after year."
The Importance of Being Earnest comprises a cast of 14, including six understudy parts, plus a crew of 20 students who designed the set. And when the curtain drops, the production will be entirely student driven.
"There is no adult running anything during the show to make it happen," Bennett said. Crew members run sound and light during all performances.
Instrumental in helping to perfect the final product on stage were parents and adults who gave their support during the 10 weeks leading up to opening night. A special thanks goes out to CJ parent Mark Phillips who provided students with dialect training for honing their British accents. Thanks also to Derek Dunavent who serves as assistant director, Bryan Miller who serves as technical director, and Charis Weible who serves as costume designer.
Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students, and theatergoers will have four opportunities to catch the show this weekend:
- Friday, Nov. 15 -- 7:30 p.m. (Opening Night)
- Saturday, Nov. 16 -- 2 p.m. (understudy cast) and 7:30 p.m.
- Sunday, Nov. 17 -- 2 p.m.
"This is a play with a different feel," Reynolds said. "I encourage audiences to come out and experience something different."

I won't post a screenshot, but here's something you can do to streamline it slightly: If you build an intersection, place a stoplight - you can then remove the other roads, and are left with a two-way light (i.e. it stops or lets traffic through on your road).
May I ask, how do u click on traffic lights/signs to make them showing their settings? They simply arent clickable for me.

Top 5 Dream Days of 2018, Biking Italy's Adriatic Coast with DuVine Cycling
All it takes is one ride along the Adriatic Sea to appreciate the splendor of Puglia, the region of southern Italy close to the heel of the boot. We biked up and down sweeping hills with the blue expanse of water always by our side. The sweet smell of honeysuckle the best form of aromatherapy as we cruised past seaside villages, old stone walls, peering down in awe at the greenish/blue waters hundreds of feet below. We stopped in Santa Maria di Leuca to gaze at the lighthouse, church, and large plaza before making our way back to the port of Tricase where a fresh seafood feast was waiting for us. According to my trusty Strava app, we had biked 43 miles with an elevation gain of over 3,000 feet, so I was definitely ready for a break and the chance to dig into fresh calamari, mussels, grilled aubergines, tomatoes, and the creamy burrata cheese the region is known for.
We were on Day Two of a 6-day bike ride through Puglia with DuVine Cycling. The trip would continue northeast to the town of Locorotondo, where we would begin blissful days of riding through the heart of the countryside. I savored the riding here, rolling hillsides dotted with centuries-old gnarly olive trees, vineyards, and the distinctive mushroom-shaped houses called trullis. All on country roads with little or no traffic. But if I had to choose one dream day on that memorable trip with good friends in October, I would choose the first day's ride along the Adriatic.

In honor of the season, I wanted to share the recipe for the apple crisp I made this past weekend with the apples I picked (okay, paid someone else to pick--but I still bought them at an orchard!) the weekend before.
And it's easy! In just a few quick steps, I'll show you how to turn this:
|#nofilter #nomakeup #blessedballer #nomorehashtags
Into this:
|It's getting hot in here (so hot),
So take off all your clothes.
I am getting so hot...
Okay, I'm just embarrassing myself now.
Let's gather ye' ingredients why ye' may, shall we? To make this recipe, you'll need:
- 4 medium apples (Peeled and sliced makes everything nice... Or something)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup quick oats (Let me save you the trouble of Googling that... It's the oatmeal you buy if you're cheap, moderately interested in maintaining a healthy diet, and in a hurry most mornings, like moi.)
- 1/3 cup butter
- Pumpkin Pie Spice (As I just mentioned, I'm pretty lazy and cheap. If you're more industrious or just have a better spice rack, grab cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.)
- Lemon juice (Or juice from half a lemon if you're so faaaannnncccyyy.)
|What? That's all you need? This looks so easy!
(You were all thinking that, right?)
Now that we have that worked out, pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees and "grease" the bottom of a 8x8-inch pan (I used a pie pan, because I'm a baller) with a bit of that butter.
While the oven's heating, peel and slice those apples. As I've mentioned before, I like to pretend I'm trying to win the affections of Tom Hanks in Sleepless in Seattle while I do this. It passes the time.
My tip for keeping those apples fresh while you're slicing and dicing (because it takes some time) is to toss them in a bit of lemon juice when you line the bottom of that pan. In addition to keeping those apples a nice, fresh color, it also added a bit of tartness you don't always get if you don't buy Granny Smith apples to make this recipe.
Once the apples are sliced, sprinkle 1/4 cup of brown sugar and a pinch of those seasonings on the apples and mix it up.
|Hey, girl, err... spiced apples.
In another bowl mix together the remaining ingredients. (I hate when recipes say that, so let me spell it out: 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup oats, 1/3 cup of softened butter, and a little more seasoning.) You can do this with a fork or your hands (I do a combo approach, because I like exfoliating my hands in brown sugar. Kidding! I just get impatient after a couple of minutes of mixing, and I don't mind getting my hands a little dirty.)
Sprinkle the dry mixture on top of the apples...
|Ah, yeah. Like driving a Cadillac.
Or sprinkling deliciousness on deliciousness. Whatevs.
... And pop that pan in the oven for 30 minutes.
Allow it to cool for a few minutes before eating (or risk burning your tongue, but don't say I didn't warn you!). You can eat it as is, which is how I rolled this week, or topped with whipped cream or a vanilla ice cream.
And there you have it. Let me know what you think if you try this recipe. Feel free to include some of your own apple crisp tips below if you're so inclined. Whatever path you take with this recipe, enjoy!
