I have always wanted to go to Thailand. Elephants? Check. Jungles? Check. Beaches? Check. Pad Thai? Check. For those reasons and more, Thailand has consistently held a solid position at the very top of my bucket list. Not wanting to delay my dream any further, I sacrificed opportunities to take shorter domestic trips and actively saved up my precious American vacation time (and money) to finally venture off to Asia. Regardless of countless internet recommendations to spend at least a month in Thailand, I was determined to create an itinerary that would make the most of my non-negotiable two weeks.
The Making of a Dream Thailand Itinerary
I spent countless hours and many late nights researching and creating a Thailand itinerary that would maximize every single moment of my two weeks. After I got back from Thailand, so many of my friends and family members wanted to know how my trip went (I said the word "amazing" a lot during this period of my life). Moreover, they wanted to know: how did you plan it? The truth is, as much as I love planning and curating unique trips, Thailand was an absolute pain to plan.
Planning an itinerary for two weeks in Thailand, a continent I had never touched, was hard. I didn't have the luxury of multiple weeks of vacation time, nor the luxury of knowing I would have a lot of time left in my future to make a return trip. The whole "going blind thing" really adds extra weight as I am frequently stressed out about potentially missing out on something I would have wanted to see.
Accordingly, I was on the hunt for experienced, honest bloggers who could tell me how I should best utilize my two weeks in Thailand and create the perfect itinerary. As fun as that hunt sounds, the problem with so many blogs is they definitely have great content, but it is seriously time consuming to weed through the lengthy narratives of most bloggers.
The Final (& Best!) Two Week Thailand Itinerary
In knowing there are others out there dreaming of checking Thailand off their bucket list, but facing the same "it's so hard to plan" predicament, I want to share my-straight-to-the-point two week itinerary in the hopes of making your life a little easier.
Day 1 – Friday: Flying
Flight: Depart Boston (BOS) @ 5:40pm, Arrive Los Angeles (LAX) @ 9:06pm
Sleep: Airplane
Day 2 – Saturday: More Flying
Flight: Depart Los Angeles (LAX) @ 1:40am, Arrive Beijing (PEK) @ +5:20am

Day 3 – Sunday: Arrive in Thailand!
Flight: Depart Beijing (PEK) @ 8:15am, Arrive Bangkok (BKK) @ 12:30pm
- Take the SRTET City Line from the airport to Phaya Thai (~26 min, 7 stops).

Bangkok Coffee Recommendation: Snooze Coffee House Restaurant
- Take Chao Phraya Express boat from Rama 8 Bridge stop (~5 min walk).
- Major Sights: Temple of Emerald Buddha, Wat Pho, Wat Arun

Sleep: Loogchoob Homestay (Bangkok)
Day 5 – Tuesday: Bangkok to Chiang Mai
- Take pre-scheduled taxi (coordinated with Loogchoob Homestay host night before) to DMK airport
Flight: Depart Bangkok (DKK) @ 10:30am, Arrive Chiang Mai (CNX) @ 12:40pm

Chiang Mai Spa Recommendation: Sense Massage & Spa

- If you are feeling brave, try out a fish spa and let the fish nibble dead skin from your feet. You'll see them as you walk around but I went to Beary Bear Fish Spa; it seemed well-run.

If you happen to be in Chiang Mai, specifically, you can witness Loi Krathong overlap with the lantern festival, Yi Peng. I got extremely lucky and just by chance booked my two week Thailand trip and Chiang Mai visit during this time!
Sleep: Baan Songum (Chiang Mai)
Day 9 – Saturday: Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai Coffee Recommendation: MAR Marocchino
- Explore more of Chiang Mai.
Sleep: Baan Songum (Chiang Mai)
Day 10 – Sunday: Adventure to Khao Sok
Flight: Depart Chiang Mai (CNX) @ 7:10am, Arrive Surat Thani (URT) @ 9:05am
How to Get From Surat Thani to Khao Sok National Park
Getting from Surat Thani to Khao Sok National Park was by far the trickiest part of the trip so I'll go into a little more detail here. If you are willing to pay ~3,500 THB ($106) you can arrange for a one way car transfer directly from the airport. Instead, I opted to save some money and take a public bus. With lots of confusing information on the internet, I decided to wing it and figure it all out when I actually landed in Surat Thani.
Walking out of the airport, I discovered there was only one bus heading from the airport to the town of Surat Thani. Along with lots of other backpackers in their twenties, I paid cash and hopped on. I believe they run fairly frequently so as long as you plan to arrive on an earlier flight, you should be good to go in terms of catching a bus.
30 minutes later, I arrived in the center of Surat Thani. The bus dropped us off outside a tourist center where I nearly booked a seat on a mini bus, however, a friendly group of backpackers quickly told me not to book the mini bus, as it was a tourist trap, and instead take the local public bus from the main bus station terminal around the corner. Appreciating the advice, I easily secured a seat for 1/5 of the cost I nearly paid for the minivan seat. The bus was surprisingly comfortable, too!
A little under 2 hours later, I arrived at the Khao Sok National Park public bus stop, negotiated a cab, and finally arrived at the beautiful Khao Sok Silver Cliff Resort.
Sleep: Khao Sok Silver Cliff Resort (Khao Sok National Park)
Day 11 – Monday: Khao Sok National Park
- Explore Khao Sok National Park
Activity Recommendation:
Rather than attempt to book a tour online in advance, I booked my Khao Sok National Park tour once I arrived at Khao Sok Silver Cliff Resort. The owner (a super sweet woman from Scotland!) had a booklet with her favorite, affordably priced tours and had great recommendations. I went with a day tour that included exploring Cheow Larn Lake by boat, lunch, and a jungle hike. The hike had the option of going into underwater caves, but while the group headed into the dark abyss, I relaxed outside the cave to avoid my worst nightmare.
Sleep: Khao Sok Silver Cliff Resort (Khao Sok National Park)
Day 12 – Tuesday: Railay Beach
- With the help of Khao Sok Silver Cliff Resort, arrange to join a mini bus to get from Khao Sok National Park to Ao Nang Beach (~2.5 hours).
- Take a boat from Ao Nang Beach to Railay Beach. Boats run all day from Ao Nang Beach to Railay Beach and take ~15 minutes and cost ~60 THB.
- Explore Railay Beach.
Why Railay Beach?
I decided to stay in Railay Beach as it seemed like a more beautiful, less touristy option than some of the other areas, like Krabi. With massive limestone cliffs isolating Railay Beach from the mainland, and the only access via boat, I was excited to venture to a unique 'island'. The beauty of Railay Beach certainly exceeded my expectations!
Sleep: Avatar Railay (Railay Beach)
Day 13 – Wednesday: Railay Beach
- Explore Railay Beach, including Phra Nang Beach and Pranang Cave.
- Many tourists choose to do an island hopping long-tail boat tour. I have heard wonderful things about these tours, but cannot personally make a recommendation as I decided to enjoy a full day exploring the East and West sides of Railay Beach.
Monkeys in Railay Beach:
They are everywhere. Do not feed them or make any eye contact. I love animals, but I am terrified of monkeys. They will take your things or bite so try to avoid them.
Where to Eat in Railay Beach: Kohinoor Indian Restaurant & Pizza
Sleep: Avatar Railay (Railay Beach)
Day 14 – Thursday: Ko Lanta
- Take an early boat from Railay Beach back to Ao Nang Beach.
- Negotiate a taxi from Ao Nang Beach to Krabi Airport to meet the driver of Pimalai Resort & Spa (this was pre-booked and included with my hotel reservation).
- Meet the driver and enjoy a luxurious car ride to a dock. The branded hotel water bottles were a nice touch!
- Take the hotel's private boat from the dock to Ko Lanta, arriving at the hotel's private floating dock.
- Relax at the resort.
Sleep: Pimalai Resort & Spa (Ko Lanta)
Day 15 – Friday: Ko Lanta
I promised myself I would spend the entire day relaxing at Pimalai Resort, but the adventurer in me couldn't sit still…
- Visit Lanta Animal Welfare, a shelter on Ko Lanta dedicated to improving the lives of all animals, relieving pain, suffering and creating new lives for rescued cats and dogs. I took a guided tour and was so touched by the incredible work of this organization. I highly recommend visiting if you have time!
Post-Shelter Ko Lanta Coffee Recommendation: Peak Café
- Later, take a Sunset Snorkel Tour, booked through the hotel. I splurged on this tour, but it was worth it!
Sleep: Pimalai Resort & Spa (Ko Lanta)
Day 16 – Saturday: Flying
- Relax at Pimalai Resort and/or walk down the beach to explore nearby shops.
- Pre-arranged, reservation-included boat ride and private car to Krabi Airport.
Flight: Depart Krabi (KBV) @ 7:40pm, Arrive Bangkok (BKK) @ 9:05pm
Day 17 – Sunday: Flying
#1 Flight: Depart Bangkok @ 1:05am, Arrive Beijing (PEK) @ +6:30am
#2 Flight: Depart Beijing (BKK) @ 12:00pm, Arrive LAX @ 8:00am (it's still Sunday, yay time difference!)
#3 Flight: Depart LAX @ 11:26pm, Arrive BOS +7:45am
Day 18 – Monday: Arrive Home
- Arrive at Boston Logan Airport @ 7:45 am then head to work like I did. Gotta love limited U.S. vacation days!
Thailand was one of my favorite places I have visited. Do I wish I had more than two weeks? Absolutely. Nevertheless, I truly feel like that this Thailand itinerary allowed me the opportunity to experience so many unique parts of such a beautiful country, all within two weeks time. I kept my Thailand itinerary straight-to-the-point, as promised, but comment below if you have any specific questions about my two weeks and I will try my best to answer!

Trigeminal neuralgia
3-minute read
Trigeminal neuralgia, also called tic douloureux, is a type of neuralgia, or nerve pain. It is usually felt as a sudden stabbing or shocking pain in the jaw or cheek area on one side of the face. Because of its intensity, it can be challenging to live with. However, there are treatments available that can help.
The trigeminal nerve
Your nervous system involves a complex network of nerves that send impulses from different parts of your body to your brain. Trigeminal neuralgia involves one particular nerve—the trigeminal nerve, which is one of the largest nerves in your head.
Trigeminal neuralgia affect parts of your head such as your face, jaw, gums, eyes and forehead.
Causes of trigeminal neuralgia
Often, trigeminal neuralgia is caused by a blood vessel pressing on the trigeminal nerve. This compression damages the nerve over time, interfering with its normal functioning.
Occasionally, the condition is caused by a stroke, a tumour, or multiple sclerosis. Sometimes a cause just can't be found.
Symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia
The main symptom of trigeminal neuralgia is a sudden pain, usually felt on one side of your jaw or cheek. The pain can be mild, especially when the condition first develops, but more often it is sharp, shooting, stabbing, burning or electric shock-like.
Attacks tend to come and go, each lasting between about 10 seconds to a few minutes. They can be present for a while, then go away for weeks or months, then come back again. People with trigeminal neuralgia might have no pain between attacks, or might have a dull ache in the face and jaw.
The pain can be triggered by talking, chewing, swallowing, eating hot or cold food or drinks, and brushing your teeth. Or it can come on for no obvious reason.
People who have trigeminal neuralgia often feel quite distressed by the pain, and the way it comes and goes. They can feel down, lose weight and have trouble sleeping.
Diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia
To diagnose trigeminal neuralgia, a doctor might:
- ask you about your symptoms
- do a physical examination of your head and neck
- do some simple tests to check your nerves
The doctor may also suggest you have an MRI scan to help find the cause or show whether surgery is needed.
Treatment of trigeminal neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia can be treated in different ways depending on how bad the pain is and whether the cause is known.
The main treatment is carbamazepine, which belongs to a group of drugs known as anticonvulsants. Other medications, such as baclofen, clonazepam, gabapentin, and valproic acid, can sometimes be used. Learn more about medicines.
Sometimes surgery is an option. For example:
- if there is a blood vessel compressing the trigeminal nerve, the vessel may be removed
- part of the trigeminal nerve can be deliberately damaged or destroyed using electricity, radiation, or injections
With surgery, there is a risk of temporary or permanent numbness on the face.
Botox injections have been tried, though there is not yet good evidence of it's effectiveness.

The years hold us together
woven like twill undulating with daily browns
and greys making subtle the infrequent red,
the bright yellow, the hazy magenta.
Soft in our designer's art we weave
the matrix we are, tie off our seams and send runners
out where new patterns are hoped for. I have pulled
a thread or two, cut a seam too thin and had to go
back, years later with new thread to patch it.
Once I threaded some bright orange wool, newly spun
into the old pattern and found a perfect match.
The blacks of years past melt into the present
soft grey like fields of heather and poppies.
We are intertwined, no form or color bears more
importance than the fabric of our bond.
Today seems a day for earth tones but I find myself
twirling strands of a deep vermillion in my hands.
I wrote this many years ago. I've stood up and said it to Paula when we were married in Massachusetts and then again when we were civilly partnered in Connecticut. I will say it to her if we have to move to a state that doesn't recognize what we have done and said before. That doesn't recognize what we have. There are some things I just stand for. That's it.

The entry-level Monoprice MP Voxel FDM/FFF 3D Printer comes with a variety of features to enhance the user 3D printing experience
Monoprice is a known name in the budget 3D printer market. The Monoprice Select Mini & the Monoprice Delta Mini 3D printers are two of its fastest selling and most popular 3D printers apart from a few others.
While the budget 3D printer market competition is heating up with all new 3D printers fitted with features previously restricted to premium 3D printers, Monoprice MP Voxel, an FDM/FFF 3D printer, released last year, also enters the fray with its own set of premium features. The sub-$400 3D printer is a rebadged version of Flashforge Adventure 3 3D printer.
Let us have a look at the specifications and features of the Monoprice MP Voxel 3D Printer.
Brand: Monoprice
Technology: FDM/FFF 3D Printing Technology
Build Volume: 150 x 150 x 150 mm
Layer Resolution: 0.05 – 0.4 mm
Build Accuracy: ±0.2mm
Print Speed: 10 ~ 100 mm/second
Nozzle Diameter: 0.4mm
Filament Size: 1.75mm
Internal Memory: 8GB
Software: MP FlashPrint
Connectivity: USB, WiFi, Ethernet
We have listed below several of the most prominent features of the Monoprice MP Voxel 3D Printer.
- Heated Bed
Monoprice MP Voxel 3D printer comes with a heated bed. Nowadays this feature is getting common in the budget printer market. Essentially useful in case of printing with more professional filaments like ABS. The bed can be heated up to 60°C.
- Enclosure
Monoprice MP Voxel comes with an enclosure which is a fresh outlook to budget 3D printers. It is highly helpful for prints which require stable temperature during the course of its printing. It will especially be useful while printing with ABS.
- Assisted Levelling
Assisted bed levelling helps in quickly setting up the print bed for print. It helps to do away with the strenuous task enhancing the user experience.
- Polar Cloud™ Enabled
The MP Voxel comes with a Polar Cloud enabled straight out of the box, which means users can control your 3D printer from anywhere with an internet connection, connect and manage multiple printers at once, queue print jobs, slice models, access unique educational curriculum, and even check in on how your print is doing with the built-in webcam.
- Removable-Flexible Build Plate
The 3D printer comes with a removable and flexible build plate. Sometimes print removal leads to minor injuries as users scrap the bottom of the print with sharp scrappers. This can be easily avoided by a removable-flexible build plate. A simple twist of the plate will pop-out the print.
- Filament run-out Sensor
Monoprice MP Voxel is installed with a filament run-out sensor which will identify when the filament is running low and this will pause the ongoing print and will resume when the material is reloaded.
- Quick Change Nozzle
Nozzle changing is a tedious task, although not a regular one. Monoprice MP Voxel 3D printer boasts of a quick change nozzle which allows for a quick nozzle change in mere seconds albeit many budget printers which require 20-30 minutes for the same operation.
Monoprice MP Voxel 3D printer comes with a mixed bag of features. Some of its notable drawbacks are the build size, which is pretty average and low maximum heated bed temperature.
Considering the features and drawbacks, it can be safe to say that it is a mixed bag. While the noted feature is very good the drawbacks will hold the printer from becoming a quick-seller. This printer is good for kids, new users and enthusiasts as it offers easy operation and exciting features to enhance the printing experience but it may not attract the hobbyists and other users who look to use this printer for creating projects prototypes and similar applications.

BP has ended its bunkering business in Algeciras, Spain, a year after the supplier started operations at the port, Platts reports.
The oil major ended its lease of the barge in June, and Peninsula Petroleum has added the vessel to its fleet, bringing it to five bunker barges in the Strait of Gibraltar area. "BP will probably drop the bunker business [in Algeciras]; I think it wasn't very profitable for them," one trader said.
"But this should not have a major impact on the market as the volume will be taken by competitors." The chartered barge that Peninsula is now operating is Spar Bunker 40, which has a capacity of 3,700 metric tonnes, with separate tanks for high- and low-sulfur fuel oil (HSFO and LSFO).
BP has not made an official statement on the matter. In recent years, the oil majors have generally refocused on exploration and extraction, allowing large independent bunker companies to grow rapidly, OW Bunker CEO Jim Pedersen said earlier this year.

Background: Despite well-described sex differences in asthma incidence, there remains uncertainty about the role of female sex hormones in the development of asthma. Objective: We sought to investigate whether hormonal contraceptive use, its subtypes, and duration of use were associated with new-onset asthma in reproductive-age women. Methods: Using the Optimum Patient Care Research Database, a UK national primary care database, we constructed an open cohort of 16- to 45-year-old women (N = 564,896) followed for up to 17 years (ie, January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2016). We fitted multilevel Cox regression models to analyze the data. Results: At baseline, 26% of women were using any hormonal contraceptives. During follow-up (3,597,146 person-years), 25,288 women developed asthma, an incidence rate of 7.0 (95% CI, 6.9-7.1) per 1000 person-years. Compared with nonuse, previous use of any hormonal contraceptives (hazard ratio [HR], 0.70; 95% CI, 0.68-0.72), combined (HR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.68-0.72), and progestogen-only therapy (HR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.67-0.74) was associated with reduced risk of new-onset asthma. For current use, the estimates were as follows: any (HR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.61-0.65), combined (HR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.62-0.67), and progestogen-only therapy (HR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.56-0.62). Longer duration of use (1-2 years: HR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.81-0.86; 3-4 years: HR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.61-0.67; 5+ years: HR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.44-0.49) was associated with a lower risk of asthma onset than nonuse. Conclusions: Hormonal contraceptive use was associated with reduced risk of new-onset asthma in women of reproductive age. Mechanistic investigations to uncover the biological processes for these observations are required. Clinical trials investigating the safety and effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives for primary prevention of asthma will be helpful to confirm these results.

As we all know, most of the baby stuff can be garish. Even though bright colors and astonishing designs stimulate your child's development, they might not fit into your home's design scheme. And baby mats can be the one of the primary offenders. To help those parents who are looking for kid's play mats or floor mats that are padded, good looking, and safe for your child to spend plenty of time playing on it, we have spoken to editors and bloggers. They told us about their favorite cloth and foam mats for children. Their suggestions will perfectly fit in a nursery, as well as you living room.
Best play mats for babies
Tiny Love Meadow Days Super Play Mat
You have definitely heard about so-called activity gyms, the mats produced for little kids that come with a base made of fabric with the overhead 'gym' attached to it. However, if you are looking for a regular play mat, Matt Berical, the deputy editor at Fatherly recommends this mat, manufactured by Tiny Love. This extra-large sized mat has several built-in activity functions and comes in various textures as well. As Berical says, this is a large quilted mat, which can be used as a compact play space for babies. It is designed to help them play around and interact with each other. Being machine washable, it can be folded up really small, therefore, is easy for parents to pack and take it with them wherever they go.
Berical recommends this circular mat from Pehr for those of you who are looking for subtle design. This option is very plain and design-friendly, and comes without those bells and whistles stuff. It has a really nice design and comes with hand-screen prints. Made of cotton this mat is very gentle and is available in several different colors. It can fit in everywhere, therefore, many parents choose it. This circular mat is quilted and has delicate line drawing featuring sea creatures on one side. The reverse side is patterned with stripes. Another expert, Ashlee Neuman, who is an editor at Bump, recommends Pehr's option with Noah's Ark and colorful animals on one side, and stars on the other.
Skip Hop Baby Treetop Friends Activity Gym/Playmat
Skip Hop's Baby Treetop Friends Activity gym is the next suggestion of our experts. Berical recommends trying out this mat, which is a very popular choice among parents. Its round, soft, as well as machine washable surface has a couple of activities, as well as an overhead gym. Various dangling toys can be installed and removed within a couple of minutes. So, it is a really cool activity mat with the additions that all children really like a lot. Most parents agree that there is a use for it even their kids have passed that stage of their lives. It can be easily packed and is manufactured from friendly materials. This mat is a great choice for parents who want to combine both the activity gym and play mat in one thing.
Check out this Lovevery's play gym. This option comes with an overhead gym made of sustainable wooden legs, and it is removable by the way. It also includes several washable accessories like a Montessori ball, a teeter, a wooden batting ring, and was created by child development experts. As Berical says, this mat is very comfortable for the kid, and, at the same time has many smart developmental aspects. Simply saying, this mat is a well-designed and nice looking gear for your baby.
Best floor mats for toddlers
As kids grow older, they need some protective surface to play and crawl on. Therefore, foam floor mats are the perfect solution. But you, as a parent, have to make sure it is made of eco-friendly materials and have no chemical odors. El Abad, who is our expert and the founder of several child related blogs, emphasizes the necessity of doing that. However, the design is also important for Abad. As he says, he likes having baby things, but when it comes to home design, he wants those things to fit into the home décor, as well as furniture, rather than stick out. Even in the play area, he likes neutral things and doesn't want anything extremely colorful or busy-looking. Therefore, he ended up selecting the play rug form Ruggish, a company based in LA. This rug is made of non-toxic memory foam and doesn't contain any BPA, lead, latex, formaldehyde or any other dangerous substances. It features a double-sided design that looks like the rug on one side, and has the interactive toy car track on the other side. As Abad says, his little sons just love driving their little toy cars there. As kids grow older, the mat can be flipped over to the rug side, and you will get a perfect play space in your room. Neuman also recommends mats produced by Ruggish, calling them 'splurge, but so cute'.
This foam mat is another great reversible recommendation of Neuman. Of course, it is non-toxic. As Neuman states, this is a super-chic reversible mat made of foam, which comes in neutral colors and is decorated with high-contrast geometric ornaments.
Rebekah Otto, the chief editor at Babylist, suggests trying out the Lollaland mat, made by Shark Tank. This is a big BPA free roll-out mat, which is perfectly cushioned.
Little Nomad is another company that manufactures play mats resembling rugs. However, instead of being one piece their mats are made of two-foot-sized square jigsaw tiles that interlock seamlessly and can be expanded. Otto and Neuman both recommend these mats describing them as durable foam mats that look like beautifully decorated rugs. One more great choice for parents who are looking for subtle mats in their living rooms. And of course, these mats are manufactured of non-toxic premium quality EVA foam.
Skip Hop Playspot Geo Foam Floor Tiles
Otto and Neuman, as well as Kate Schmitz, the owner of Flying Squirrel store, recommend this Skip Hop's Geo Foam floor tile set. It is another jigsaw style play mat very popular among parents. Instead of being of boring primary colors, these mats are very tasty, says Schmitz, as well as very adaptable and come in various muted colors. Since the pieces are not square shaped, you can arrange them to create a pattern of your choice, like chevron stripes for example, says Neuman. Otto adds that these mats can be easily reconfigured and their look can be changed as well, according to your kid's needs or your own fantasy. You can arrange them into a longer piece to create a hallway for your kid to crawl. Due to the wide range of colors, you will definitely find something to match your home design.
Best tumbling mat
Design Skin Transformable Play Mat
The tumbling mat that resembles the folding mats we can often find in gymnastic studios is a good and safe choice for older kids. As Otto says, these mats are much more durable, so your kid can do some simple acrobatic trick on it pretty easily, while the floor mats are more adapted for kids of 2 years of age and younger. Although many of them come in primary colors, Berical recommends the Design Skin option featured in a pastel palette.

Still, a qualified guidance hold its covers that simply beyond people's imagine as the fact that people are so used to electric lights, radio, televisions, and telephones that it is hard to imagine what life would be like without them, until we live in a different world – one quite difficult to imagine at the present time – this seems all we can hold onto. But this not nearly enough, so that it needs more relevant information about buying a good performance vacuum cleaner as following message.
These little mini-vacuums are great for smaller jobs. Some are cordless, so they work well for quick and easy cleaning or as compact on-the-go option for RV owners. It's also a great supplement if your main vacuum doesn't offer many attachments or if you'd rather not pull out your whole vacuum every time you spot a mess.
Key features: Lightweight and incredibly easy to store. Some are cordless.
Takeaway: Great option for small spaces and easy lifting. Cordless models can also clean your car, boat, and so on.
The Stick vacuum is similar to the upright but without any added attachments or accessories. It's about as streamlined as it gets, and therefore easier to store and lighter weight. These models typically run on batteries, so they can go where corded vacuums can't. They also tend to be less powerful than their upright counterparts.
Key features: Lightweight, often cordless and battery-powered, can transition from carpet to hardwood.
Takeaway: Great if you want something that can handle light debris. A good lightweight option for those that with limited arm strength.
As if vacuums weren't already confusing enough, some models are convertible. That means that they can do more than one thing. For example, the Eureka vacuum pictured above can work as a stick or a handheld vacuum, and the Shark Rotator Pro Lift-Away model I recently reviewed is an upright vacuum that can convert into a canister vacuum. These models tend to offer a great value since you're getting more options; a two-for-one, if you will.
Average weight: Varies
Key features: Extra accessories and attachments, extremely versatile.
Takeaway: If you know you want an upright, but also want to regularly vacuum stairs, a convertible canister model like the Shark Rotator Pro Lift-Away makes sense rather than buying two separate machines. Or if you think the attachments on an upright won't tackle your detailed dusting, you can get a stick and a handheld model like the Eureka.
Other considerations
In addition to the different types of vacuum models available today, there are a couple of other things you ought to think about before making a final decision.

Need help? Check out Spotify Answers for solutions to a wide range of topics.
Hey! I use an iPhone 8 Plus with premium account. When I listened music on streaming the sound is good but when I download the songs they sound very low, I have set up both streaming and download quality as high quality.
Does anyone have the same problem?
This issue is most likely because you have set a low sound option on your phones settings. (iPhone has these on default so that you don't go over the reccomended volume). Also, another issue could be your equalizer. Go on Spotify Settings > Playback > Equalizer, and choose your music genre or just drag all the buttons to the top (I find that helps a lot when it comes to music quality). Also try switching your music quality to Extreme if you haven't already.
Let me know if that works, or at least improves your music quality.
Have a nice day!
Sorry, excuse the first reply, I had not read that you already had your quality on High. Keep in mind that there is also an Extreme setting for premium users, so turn that on if you haven't already.

What follows is a typical action movie roller coaster: Things go awry when Troy wakes up, staples Archer's face to himself, and convinces everyone that he's the real thing, then the fairly awry things go even more awry when the original Archer finds and murders his evil doppelganger with a spear gun.
Paramount Pictures, Buena Vista International
Why We Should Have Seen It Coming:
Wait, "Pollux"? That can't be a real name. That sounds more like a rejected bee-themed supervillain from Captain Planet. In reality, the Troys' monikers are a reference to Castor and Pollux, two brothers from Greek mythology who make up the Gemini constellation, which is Latin for "twins." In the movie, Troy and Archer sort of become each other's twin, and suddenly, BAM, you're in John Woo's symbolism land!
Paramount Pictures, Buena Vista International
Hope you brought an umbrella.
Castor and Pollux were also brothers of Helen of Troy and the protectors of sailors, which featured prominently in the movie finale when Archer chased Troy in a speedboat.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for General Scientific Research (C)
The Far Eastern Region has traditionally been considered an area rich in natural resources. In this study I have tried to show the distribution of each natural resource on the map, in which are included folltion of each natural resource on the map, in which are included following resources ; namely, water power generation, oil and gas, diamonds, gold, tin, mercury, alumina, tungsten, lead, zinc, flourite, mica, asbestos, graphite, iron ore, copper, nickel, native sulfur, semi-precious stones, phosphorus, ores, rock salt, hot apring and so on. (the underlines show resources distributed mainly in the area of the east of the Lake-Baikai : a portion of the East Siberia and the Far East). The production of gold (including platinum and silver) is concentrated in the Far East. In the Soviet Era, Yakutsk (Nowadays : Sakha) Republic sent 200-300 tons of the gold to Moscow every year. It is Said that after collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russian deposit of gold for the payment reserve has been revealed to decrease from 2300 tons to 230 tons. The Far East especially produces so many tin as 98% of the production in the Soviet Territory.Although the economically usable potential in hydroelectric resources of the major and secondary rivers of the Far East is plenty, in Far East only 6% of this potential has far been exploited. So there is shortages of electricity. The steel production is also the same situation, namely, plenty deposit but no exploitation.Sakhalin and Yakutiya have big oil & gas deposits. In near future these two deposits are expected to be exploited by foreign companies of Japan, USA and Europe.

Billionaire Tom Steyer: I'm not rich, my mom is from Minneapolis!
Almost a decade ago, Tom Steyer and his wife, Kat Taylor, signed the "Giving Pledge," a philanthropic commitment to donating "the bulk of their personal fortune during their lifetime."
At the moment, Steyer's favorite charity is Tom Steyer for President, to which he gave north of $200 million in 2019 alone. That's about one-eighth of Steyer's estimated fortune, according to Forbes, and considerably more than the $75 million he spent promoting Democratic candidates and causes in the 2018 election cycle.
That time, Steyer's money did some good, as progressive Democrats rode an anti-Trump wave to easily regain the majority in the U.S. House, among other election wins.
Steyer's more recent spending has made slightly less progress. From Forbes:
Steyer is polling at just 3.6% in Iowa, according to the Real Clear Politics average. On a national level, the numbers are even worse, with Steyer polling at just 1.9%.
Steyer's not even the most popular insanely wealthy guy trying to buy the race. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg polls at an average of around 8.4 percent, per 538—good for fourth place, and roughly four times Steyer's hold on the electorate.
Steyer, for his part, is trying to distance himself from his reputation as "That Rich Guy—No, the Other One, the First One, I Think It's... Tim?"
In recent speeches to Iowa voters, Steyer has said he, personally, takes a different view of his identity. "That is not how I think about myself," Steyer recently told a crowd of Iowans. "My mom was from Minneapolis."
True as this statement is, exactly what the hell does it even mean?
Steyer's mother, Marnie Fahr Steyer, was indeed from Minnesota, and moved to New York, where she worked as a schoolteacher. Marnie was known to carry a lifelong affection for Tenmile Lake, about three hours north of Minneapolis. She bought a house there, and visited frequently, but remained a New Yorker. She married Roy Steyer, an attorney who prosecuted war criminals at the Nuremberg Trials and later retired as a partner at a prominent New York firm. Both Marnie and Roy were memorialized in paid obituaries in the New York Times.
None of the facts in the preceding paragraph say a damn thing about the wealth of Tom Steyer, whose 1986 wedding to Kat Taylor made the Times.
Mr. "T.F. Steyer" was described as "an alumnus of the Buckley School and Phillips Exeter Academy" with degrees from Yale—"where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa"—and Stanford, and was then "a partner in Hellman & Friedman, investment bankers in San Francisco." That same year, Steyer founded his own hedge fund, called Farallon Capital, which he'd run for the better part of two decades. Farallon is credited as a pioneer in getting college endowments to start investing their money with hedge funds, after Steyer wooed his own alma mater, Yale.
Gee, Tom. That all sounds like some rich guy shit.
The most depressing thing about Steyer referencing his family members—his aunt and uncle made their life in Iowa, if that... helps?—is that his messaging is undoubtedly crafted down to the very letter by campaign consultants and image stategists. Tom didn't just come up with this "mom from Minneapolis" bit. He paid professionals to come up with it.
Steyer name-dropping his mom's birthplace comes off as half-baked coastal elite snobbery: "Why, I can't be rich! My mother is from the Midwest!"
Tom: There are rich people in Minnesota. (Maybe too many?) Have been for a while. (Heard of the Daytons?) We'd tell you to drop this weird little line of thinking from your stump speech, but at this point, Tom's got bigger problems to think about than how to get those poll numbers above 4 percent. Like how to retire on just $1.4 billion.

Student Rights & Title IX
We have decades of experience in protecting students' rights in college and university disciplinary proceedings, appeals from disciplinary sanctions, and related criminal cases. We represent students charged with violations of their schools' codes of conduct and honor codes, ranging from allegations of cheating or plagiarism to sexual assault and sexual harassment. We represent students who have experienced discrimination, harassment, or sexual misconduct on campus in asserting their rights through the campus Title IX and anti-discrimination processes. Since 2013 alone, we have represented hundreds of students (as well as faculty and staff) at more than 85 schools in cases involving Title IX and sexual misconduct and other disciplinary violations. We also have experience representing university groups such as fraternities and sororities against disciplinary action, and to advance the rights of their members.
Because of our Boston location, we have represented many students in New England colleges and universities, in both graduate and undergraduate programs, including:
- Harvard University
- Yale University
- Boston College

- Plymouth State University
- University of Connecticut
- Worcester Polytechnic University
- New England Conservatory
- Wentworth Institute of Technology
- Stonehill College
We also represent college students, graduate students, and professional students around the country. In the past, we have represented students at Columbia University, Princeton University, University of Michigan, Stanford University, Duke University, University of Chicago, Swarthmore, New York University, Ohio State University, Middlebury College, Willamette University, St. Lawrence University, Virginia Commonwealth University, The New School, Tulane University, The Julliard School, Baylor University, Skidmore College, Cardozo Law School, Barnard College, Cornell University, Washington University – St. Louis, Colgate University, University of Notre Dame, University of Wisconsin- Madison, College of Charleston, Drexel University, Gordon College, University of Delaware, Purdue University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Lake Superior State University, The New College of Florida, Moody Bible Institute, and Northwestern University. In addition to our higher education practice, we represent elementary, middle, and high school students involved in sexual misconduct and other disciplinary cases in New England.
We have been representing students in disciplinary and student conduct proceedings for years, long before most attorneys entered this field and well before the uptick in cases due to the federal government's stepped-up enforcement of Title IX. In the last few years this area has become one of the most active parts of our practice, and one with which all our attorneys are experienced.
University hearings are unlike any other kind of civil or criminal proceeding, which is why it is important to have lawyers who are familiar with these procedures. Each school has its own student handbook, code of conduct, and set of rules that governs how the school investigates, prosecutes, and sentences students for various offenses. Some schools attempt to mimic the adversarial nature of our legal system by holding hearings before panels made up of staff, faculty, or other students where the person bringing the complaint and the accused student are each allowed to present evidence and question witnesses. Other schools have a single investigator gather information from the parties and the witnesses, draft reports summarizing the information, and then make a decision or offer an advisory opinion without the accused student ever having an opportunity to question (or sometimes even see) the evidence against him or her.
We take a creative and aggressive approach in the handling of campus misconduct cases. We understand the need to jump in quickly with these cases; the earlier we enter a case the better our chance of achieving our client's goals. Our approach in these cases is to figure out what our client most wants; whether that is to stay at his or her school, to withdraw without a permanent mark on his or her record, or to fight as hard as possible against the potential disciplinary action. Once we have determined the outcome, we plan a strategy that takes into account the administrators' issues and priorities, the philosophy of the school, and the administration's desire to limit the school's exposure to either litigation or negative press attention in order to achieve our clients' goals. We do not hesitate to think outside the box in helping our clients prepare their cases, and routinely call on expert witnesses to provide the school with relevant information about the case. Our longstanding history in handling these cases, the national reputation of our firm partners and of-counsel attorneys, and the exceptional quality of our lawyers help us in our advocacy with the university. Rather than just assisting our clients with their cases before the school administrators, we also try to work with the university lawyers, who can then lead the administrators to a more reasonable outcome for our clients than they would otherwise receive.
Our complementary legal practices give us an edge in representing students in these proceedings. As criminal defense lawyers, we can represent respondents in any criminal matters that arise out of the alleged disciplinary violations, and help our clients evaluate their potential criminal exposure, make informed decisions about when and how to participate in school proceedings, and build strong defenses. For the complainants we represent, our experience representing plaintiffs in employment discrimination and sexual harassment cases gives us a deep understanding of the dynamics and impact of sexual harassment, as well as the broader legal landscape that influences Title IX enforcement.
We have been very successful in ensuring that our clients obtain their desired outcomes in student investigation and disciplinary processes. Because of our extensive civil litigation experience, we are well equipped to litigate students' claims against their schools when necessary.
Representative examples include:
We successfully persuaded a university to grant a new hearing to a client who had been expelled due to sexual misconduct, resulting in a reduced sanction.
We successfully argued that a school failed to recognize that a dental student had a disability that affected his ability to perform his academic and clinical duties, obtaining a reversal of the student's expulsion for failing to meet the school's academic requirements.
We represented a law student in an appeal from an expulsion based on alleged cheating, obtaining a reversal of the decision to expel the student.
We have helped many students accused of sexual assault or harassment obtain exonerations or reduced sanctions in matters involving sexual misconduct.
We have represented complainants in Title IX proceedings, ensuring that the respondent was properly found responsible for unlawful conduct.
In litigation, we have obtained substantial settlements for clients subjected to Title IX violations at their universities.

As the world is undergoing rapid transformation, the need for seeing GIS as the Science of Where is becoming more important.
Esri User Conference 2017 began in San Diego today with the theme Applying the Science of Where. Jack Dangermond, gave the vision beyond this, and here is what this means.
GIS & The Science of Where
This is not a new phrase, rather this emphasizes GIS as a science of kind in its own right, and it integrates with other sciences like geography, biology, statistics etc. GIS is a framework for applying science to almost everything. The Science of Where is applying a data-driven approach that uses geography to unlock the understanding. GIS now provides a way to understand knowledge through data exploration, analytics, visualization, and, sharing and dissemination.
Why is this important now?
As we all know, we are in a phase where the world is seeing rapid change and transformation. Here are some things, that are happening all around the world:
Our World is increasingly changing – challenged by growing population, climate change, social conflicts etc. So, we need a better understanding and more collaboration and more action
The World is undergoing massive digital transformation – Newer digital technologies like UAVs, IoT, Big data, AI etc. are changing the technology landscape. Dynamic and large data sets coming at a greater velocity provides a new way of creating and using GIS.
The Science of Where is a fundamental digital language for understanding and managing our world – Jack Dangermond
It is time to transform how we think and act and create a more sustainable future. GIS is a fundamental digital language, which is all about understanding and managing our world, and this is going to be a part of this change. As with the changing global scenario, GIS technology is evolving itself. It is moving towards a collective and interconnected system of systems are going to be a key part of this transformation. New kinds of capabilities such as multi-sensor data fusion, real-time data, on the fly analytics etc. aided by new forms of community engagement are evolving in GIS and making the Science of Where more relevant.
In Summary
The Science of Where is now recognized as a powerful force for solving problems and understanding our worlds. Web GIS takes GIS to a whole new scale, helping you do your work better and transforming how we share and collaborate. As GIS professionals, you now have many new opportunities to contribute to your organization and society and make a difference in the world.

Our Watches
Based on a minimalist aesthetic, Monumental Watches epitomizes vibrant elegance, precise attention to detail and timeless craftsmanship. The Trident is a pinnacle symbol used throughout our designs; a representation of perseverance and triumph, it is a recognizable icon in Barbados. Every watch bares a homage to a treasured place in Barbados so that you can take a piece of home with you where ever you go.
Our Story
How you dress should not reflect where you are, it should reflect where you're going.
Barbadian founder Darnel Greenidge's appreciation for horology was inherited from his grandmother, Esther Greenidge. Having completed his exams, in honor of her passing, he sought out the perfect watch as a congratulatory gift to himself for a job well done. Finding none of the watches within his limited budget complimented the lifestyle he desired, he was then inspired to create the Monumental Watches brand. An accessible luxury brand, made with quality materials and a timeless commemoration to the love he shared with his grandmother and their mutual appreciation for beauty through craftsmanship.

1a. Make Yourself Heavier
An overweight person will lose weight faster than a slimmer person doing the exact same workout because your body has to burn more calories or use more energy to move a heavier object.
But instead of gaining (fat) weight, You can wear a Weight Vest, book bag filled with weights or carry something while working out.
Start off by adding at least 10% of your bodyweight because usually, that's the most you can add without slowing down or lowering your workout intensity too much.
So if you weighed 200 pounds you'll need to add at least 20 pounds to burn more calories during your workout.
But don't use too much weight! If you have to do your workout at a much slower pace or lower intensity because of the extra weight you added… Then you'll need to use less weight because even though you made yourself heavier,
Doing your workout at a lower intensity is only going to make you burn less calories.
1b. Gain Muscle
Another way to make yourself heavier is to gain more muscle mass.
2. Workout Longer
This is a no-brainer. The longer you workout = the more calories you burn = the more weight you'll lose.
If you want to burn MORE calories in LESS time then you will need to make yourself heavier and/or workout with more intensity
3a. Workout with More Intensity
Another no-brainer. You workout harder = you burn more calories. You'll burn more calories walking at 5mph than you would walking at 4mph but the main reason you want to workout at a higher intensity is because of…
3b. The After Burn Effect
The more intense you workout = you'll have a higher after burn effect meaning you'll burn more calories 'After' you workout while you're resting.
Studies show people who do HIT or High Intensity Training workouts will burn at least 225 extra calories after they've finished.
HIT vs. Cardio
According to this study people lost 3x more weight doing HIT for only 20-min vs. people who did longer 45-min cardio workouts at a lower intensity.
The MORE you increase your workout intensity = The LESS time you'll need to workout to get the same or BETTER results from a longer workout.
Answer: They all do!
The bike isn't better than the treadmill and jumping jacks aren't superior to ski steps. The amount of calories you burn depends on how much effort YOU put into the exercise & Not the exercise itself.
The amount of effort you put into an exercise to burn the most calories depends on how intense you workout, how long you exercise and/or if you make yourself heavier
Cold Exposure
The more time you spend in temperatures lower than 66℉ (19℃) = the more calories you will burn without exercising.
Colder temperatures Activates your Brown Fat or makes your brown fat burn calories (or burn off your ugly white fat) for energy to generate enough heat to maintain your normal body temperature of 98.6℉ (37℃)

Frosted Cranberries
This is the first year I've made these, and they're so EASY. I've had so many ideas for these pretty little things.
The first thing I did was to make frosted cranberry infused vodka.
This vodka gets flavor and sweetness from both the fresh cranberries and the sugar that adorned them. And how easy is that?
My daughter turned 21 a few days ago, so when she gets home for Christmas, I'm making a chocolate roulade cake and it will be adorned with these. I'm so excited – I hope my non-baking ass doesn't ruin it.
I'm kidding. I do kinda bake, but I'm definitely not a huge talent in that area. I did bake these French baguettes that were pretty good. I do have to say that my pretzels aren't half bad.
Well, ok, I also made these Cherry Coke Float Cupcakes that were really, really good.
I am in no way, shape or form tooting my own horn. Y'all, I don't even have a horn. Ok, that was kinda beyond corny.
Annnnyyyyyy way – back to her cake. Hopefully the baking angels will be on both shoulders tomorrow and it will turn out beautifully, just like my daughter.
If you haven't already, make these cranberries because everyone will love them and ask where they came from, or how you made them and are they edible, and all those fun fancy questions.
Here's your printable!

Constable mirrors move
continually from light to dark
ever modulating apparent form
as the sun beyond
tries to pierce their hazy layer
parting it from the cool beauty
of the rolling opalescence below.
But the white motes now thin and slow their descent
becoming weary of motion
seeking quiet and rest
among their forerunners who now
lie on the cold earth
waiting for warmth to free them
for yet further journeys.

Redd Kross Kick Off Tour Wednesday
This isn't really news, cause it's been well known for months, but I just really wanted an excuse to write about these dudes. If you didn't hear Redd Kross's first new album in like 15 years, Researching the Blues, you fucked up. Not only did it make my best of list for last year, but it goes to show that some old fucks never stop being cool. Seriously, this band has been going on since these guys were in middle school and their first show was opening for Black Flag. And now, they're still kicking ass into their fifties. Anyways, they're hitting the road and unless you can't read, the tour dates are listed above. You might notice that there is no Nashville show. I know, I'm bummed too. I would definitely have tried to make that drive to Atlanta if I didn't have so much shit going on this week but cest la vie. However, if you're lucky enough to be in one of the areas where this band is playing, you are obligated to see this band. Trust me, it'll at least be better than the Black Flag reunion. If you still need convincing, check out a video of these dudes performing the title track live. Fucking sick is right, kids.

This one has me beat but sure it is simple really.
Using Firefox the computer connects to my broadband ISP fine
However IE8 (and same with IE7) refuses to dial up the connection. Same with MailWasher which always used to connect fine but now also refuses to dop anything. I don't even get the dial up box
As far as I can tell nothing as changed recently.
Any ideas?

Have you run a scan for a virus, trojan or malware? FireFox isn't vulnerable to the same exploits as IE.

September 9, 2013
The proposal made by Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergey Lavrov, warrants careful examination. He now recognizes –as a result of the significant pressure that we've exerted – that there's a serious problem with the huge stockpile of chemical weapons held by Bashar al-Assad. This proposal would be acceptable subject to at least three conditions:
Mr. Bashar al-Assad must immediately pledge to place his entire chemical weapons arsenal under international control and allow it to be destroyed;
this operation must be carried out on the basis of a binding Security Council resolution within a short timeframe and with severe consequences if he doesn't uphold his commitments;
those responsible for the chemical massacre on August 21 must not go unpunished. The matter must therefore be referred to the International Criminal Court.
France identified two objectives from the outset: to punish and to deter. That's why we're now demanding specific, prompt and verifiable commitments on the part of the Syrian regime.

DAUGHTER The Controversial SummerWorks Hit
November 7, 2017 - November 19, 2017$30
Returns for a Limited Run at The Theatre Centre
November 7-19, 2017
Co-produced by The Theatre Centre and QuipTake with Pandemic Theatre
"Boys will be boys."
DAUGHTER, the most talked about show of the 2016 SummerWorks Performance Festival, will have its mainstage premiere at The Theatre Centre, November 7-19, 2017. This provocative one-man show about toxic masculinity is written and performed by Canada's Bouffon King, Adam Lazarus, co-created with Ann-Marie Kerr, Melissa D'Agostino and Jiv Parasram.
A darkly satirical piece, a man must confront his new identity as a father and a patriarch while struggling with how to operate in today's world. DAUGHTER interrogates questions of culpability and complicity by examining the subtle, and not-so-subtle, ways misogyny is condoned and encouraged in society.
A disturbing, and hysterical, thought disrupter, DAUGHTER plays in the liminal space between autobiography and fiction, exposing the hypocrisies and complexities of the human experience.
Adam Lazarus is an award-winning actor, director and acting instructor whose work has been showcased nationally, in the USA and Europe. Hailed as "Toronto's favourite nasty clown" (Toronto Star), Adam's collaborators are varied and vast as he brings a dark and comic sensibility to all of his work. With his company QuipTake, Adam co-created Bleed, The Art of Building a Bunker and Daughter. A graduate of, and former apprentice to, master teacher Philippe Gaulier, Adam was the artistic director of the Toronto Festival of Clowns for 10 years. In the fall of 2016, he launched PlayOn Theatre, a new theatre school with a focus on creation and performance.
Ann-Marie Kerr (director/co-creator) is an award-winning theatre director, actor and teacher currently working in residence at The Theatre Centre with Hannah Moscovitch and Maev Beaty. Her work, which has been presented nationally and internationally, includes recent directing credits: I, Claudia (Neptune Theatre); The Circle (Alberta Theatre Projects); Cathy Jones solo show Stranger to Hard Work (National tour); Cliff Cardinal's The Anderson's (National Theatre School and in development at Soulpepper). A graduate of L'École internationale de théâtre Jacques Lecoq in Paris and York University in Toronto, Ann-Marie is the former Artistic Associate of Magnetic North Theatre Festival.

From The East Cork Journal.
Community Arts projects throughout East Cork received a welcome boost earlier this week when they shared in Cork County Council's Arts Grants Scheme 2019. This year Cork County Council had 252 applications for the Arts Programme, one of the highest requests for Grant aid to date.
With a total budget of €160,000, the volume of applications received for the Arts Grant Scheme meant that it was not possible to meet the demand for assistance. County Arts Officer, Ian McDonagh, said he was recommending that 30 applications be transferred to the lesser known Municipal Arts Development Fund for consideration.
The budget for the Municipal District Arts Development Fund is €150,000 and is primarily focused at supporting new initiatives which enhance public access to the arts. An additional €2,000 for the category Arts using the Irish Language is made available through Oifig na Gaeilge. Interest in the Irish Language Arts Scheme has more than doubled from the previous year, since the addition of the fund. County Mayor, Gerard Patrick Murphy said "It's encouraging to see the growing interest in this Scheme which aims to promote and support organisations to include Irish language based events and cultural experiences, and for artists to create new work 'as Gaeilge'."
The largest overall grouping for applications came from the Voluntary Arts Sector, accounting for almost 60%. Ian McDonagh, Head of the Arts Scheme, said it was important to recognise these voluntary organisations who are keeping the arts alive in our local communities.
The range of applications reflects very much the range of activity which occurs in the arts in the county he said. One striking feature was the majority of applications received came from creative artists, with 5 artists set to receive bursary awards and a further 4 to receive a Scholarship to attend the Tyrone Guthrie Centre and the Ballinglen Arts Foundation.
Festivals were the second largest grouping to apply for financial assistance, with 40 applications received. It also accounted for the largest allocation from the scheme. Mr McDonagh said the festival sector is very strong in the county, extending right beyond what we might imagine to be the festival season during the summer.
Reflecting on the Council's investment in Festivals in 2018 Mr McDonagh said from the 38 festivals funded, there was a "significant return" worth almost €4.5 million to the economic life of the County. There were very few applications for Youth Arts this year, with just 4 applications for the Artist in Schools category.
In the East Cork Municipal District the Holy Family National School Shanagarry received €1,000 for "The Story Continues" a story led composition and performance using percussion. Facilitated by Eamon Cagney the project is 6 full day workshops and a seventh performance day.
In the Cobh Municipal District St Aidan's Community College, Dublin Hill, received €500 to undertake a community focused Visual Arts Programme as part of their Leaving Certificate applied curriculum strand 'My Local Environment Project'
Chief Executive of Cork County, Tim Lucey said "Last year Cork County Council's support of the Arts enabled over 19,000 people county-wide to actively participate in the creative arts, including the elderly, young people and those with special needs. Arts funding has helped organisations and artists to reach an audience of at least 168, 000, both local and visitors. While the economic benefit of Arts Festivals funded by the Council is estimated to be in excess of €4.3million the social, cultural and community impact is invaluable."
