Bluetooth certification hints health-tracking AirPods 2 are on their way
A new Bluetooth certification by Apple reveals AirPods 2 are on their way. Moreover, they could have health-tracking sensors baked in.
Essential reading: Smart earbuds – top biometric headphones
As discovered by MySmartPrice, the filing was made on November 1st with the Bluetooth Special Interests Group. This is the standards organization that oversees the development of Bluetooth standards and the licensing of the Bluetooth technologies and trademarks to manufacturers.
The listing advises that AirPods 2 have received certification for Bluetooth 5.0, which extends the range and possibly battery life from the first generation product. Two models are mentioned, A2031 and A2032. It is not clear whether these are two distinct iterations of the same product or the filing simply refers to the fact that there are two units in each pair.
The Bluetooth certification reveals little else. However, Patently Apple has recently spotted that Apple has updated trademark filings from Hong Kong and Europe to include a new Class 10 designation. This covers wellness sensors and wasn't present in the original trademark.
"Class 10: General wellness instruments, namely, health, fitness, exercise, and wellness sensors, monitors, speakers and displays for measuring, displaying, tracking, reporting, monitoring, storing, and transmitting biometric data, heart rate, body movement, and calories burned…"
This is not the first we've heard of health-tracking AirPods. Apple has filed a number of patent applications in the recent past indicating it has serious ambitions in this area. The patents describe biometrics sensors that could monitor heart rate, physical activity and stress. Some even mention EKG and impedance cardiography sensors that monitor the electrical activity of the heart. Unfortunately, we have yet to see anything materialize.
Biometric sensors are not entirely new and there is a healthy selection of devices already on the market. The ear provides a great platform for doing this kind of biometric measurement. Earbuds, rather than watches, tend to be the most accurate heart-rate monitors, outperformed only by traditional chest straps.
Other expected revisions for AirPods 2 include an upgraded wireless charging case and better Siri integration. The appearance of the filing with the Bluetooth Special Interests Group means the product has undergone testing with the group. But it doesn't offer any info on when they'll be released.
There's an off-chance that new AirPods could hit the market before the end of the year. It is more likely, though, we'll see them sometime in 2019.

text: The controversial, largely discredited 35-page dossier on President Donald Trump compiled by a former British intelligence officer served as a "road-map" for the FBI's investigation into claims of coordination between Moscow and members of Trump's presidential campaign, the BBC reported on Wednesday.The dossier, which contains wild and unproven claims about Trump and sordid sexual acts, including the mocked claim that Trump hired prostitutes and had them urinate on a hotel room bed, was compiled by former intelligence agent Christopher Steele, who was reportedly paid by Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans to investigate Trump. Well there will be another story regarding this Russian Dossier and Comey's involvement with it after this post. However the FBI using this Russian dossier in it's Russian/Trump investigation...Only proves the FBI has nothing on President Trump regarding Russia, since they are using the fake Russian Dossier that was written by former MI6 agent Christopher Steele. This is just how pathetic the FBI has become being run by Obama appointed FBI Director James Comey, because the FBI is using fake evidence to investigate the Trump/Russia collusion in the 2016 election. The funny thing with the FBI using the fake Russian Dossier in their Trump/Russia investigation, is that the Russian dossier against Trump has nothing in it regarding the 2016 election...As it's just some random fake bullshit about Trump's relation with some Russian prostitutes. However this should expose the James Comey FBI, because using the fake Russian/Trump dossier only proves the FBI has no evidence against Trump and his alleged Russian involvement.

I'm willing to bet you're reading this because you've heard one too many bad things about the root canal procedure. I'm not wrong here, am I?
Lucky for you, today we are going to cover why this procedure gets such a bad rep and why you shouldn't be afraid – at all, if you follow this advice!
What is a root canal procedure?
First of all – if you're about to get a root canal procedure done, it most likely means your tooth is under some kind of infection – and it's causing you pain on a scale from uncomfortable to completely and utterly unbearable. Root canal is the term we use to describe the natural cavity right in the center of our teeth, where usually nerves and the pulp are, also known as the soft tissue. This means that, basically, the soft tissue, the insides, of your tooth need to be taken out in order to save the tooth. After that, your tooth will be properly cleaned, filled with placement because there is now a void where once soft tissue used to be, and ultimately, sealed.
Why does it get such bad reputation?
Yes, this doesn't sound like a picnic, but it's also nothing a local anesthetic won't make so much easier. The real reason people are scared of this routine procedure is because they often times relate the entire experience to the pain they felt right before it was done! And there is nothing wrong with that, it's just a matter of bad perception. Your tooth is under attack from the inside out – and I can only imagine the pain that comes with that. But the procedure itself is actually pretty standardized and nothing to be worried about. Matter of fact, most of the patients are really surprised that the procedure went without any problems and that they're actually feeling way better after the anesthetic wears off!
Another reason could be the cases where the dental care and hygiene have been neglected to the point where any procedure is a risky one and there is a lot of potential for complications. Luckily, those cases are rare, and that still doesn't make the root canal procedure the bad guy.

What to expect after the procedure?
Just like with any other invasive procedure – healing period is to be expected. After the reason for the infection is removed, the area around the tooth, as well as the ligaments, still need healing. In about a week or two, all discomfort should be gone and the symptoms should subside. It's also very important to discuss the outcome of the procedure before it takes place, as well as the after-care instructions that are specific for you and your case.
Eating and biting
It's completely normal to feel some sensitivity after the procedure is done, so to make things easier for yourself, you might want to start chewing on the opposite side for a while, until you start feeling that the sensitivity is wearing off.
Same goes for the biting. The ligaments surrounding the tooth are very irritated, swollen and sensitive, so if you feel any discomfort, you can try using the other side of your jaw more, until they heal properly.
Medication and antibiotics
In order to prevent a bad habit of routinely prescribing antibiotics for any minor issue, your dentist will only recommend them if it's necessary under the circumstances. The truth is – not all infected teeth require antibiotics and there's no need to take them if the situation can be fixed without them. The problem with a common antibiotic treatment is that the decades of their misuse only lead to the development of drug-resistant bacteria, which is a big problem of the 21st century.
In a perfect world, after the procedure is done, our body reacts really well to the treatment and the result is always a success. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, and since the teeth are very sensitive, sometimes even the smallest abscesses can be very persistent. In case anything feels less than right, contact your dentist immediately and consider additional therapy, as well as possible re-treatment or other root end procedures, and remember that there is no one minute fix for anything, let alone a process that could've been happening silently in your mouth for months and months.
Follow up treatment
After the root canal procedure has been complete, permanent filling will be placed instead of the soft tissue that was infected. Because the soft tissue is now removed, the tooth can dry out and bristle over time, and because bristle teeth are more prone to fractures, which is something we definitely don't want now that we've finally gotten the situation under control, your dentist might recommend placing a metal crown to prevent any additional damage to the tooth.
As with any other surgical treatment, there are always certain risks and a possibility for complications, so the best way to go is to prevent the infection itself or at least attend the symptoms as early as possible. The thing with teeth infections is that they can often times go unnoticed, that is until it's too late and the surgical treatment is needed, so proper hygiene and regular check ups with you dentist are the best way to go, resulting in catching the process in the early stages.
All of these are the reasons root canal procedure has such a bad reputation. Of course, there are teeth that are very sensitive to any kind of treatment, not just the root canal one, and cases where dental care has been close to non-existent, causing a routine procedure so much more complicated. It's always a good time to mention the importance of regular dentist checkups. As medical professionals, they are trained to notice any activity that is not supposed to be there and react appropriately, and early interventions can even prevent the root canal treatment itself. No time like now to schedule the appointment and save yourself some time worrying about it!

What's Really Wrong with Detroit Public Schools. Detroit Public Schools have the worst test scores and graduation rates in the nation, but there are more problems plaguing the district.
Learn about the internal conflict and dynamics that threaten the students' future. Detroit Public Schools' students recently won the award of the worst math scores in the National Assessment of Educational Progress' 40-year history. Couple the disheartening standardized test scores with the nation's lowest graduation rate, according to NPR, and you have a public school system that has utterly failed its students. To further complicate the issue, Detroit Public schools are currently fighting an internal battle with Emergency Finance Manager Robert Bobb. Detroit public school teachers, administrators, parents, and school board members are upset about Bobb's recently issued directive, outlining that all students in the district take an additional standardized test this year. The Bills That Want to Solve Detroit's School Crisis - The Atlantic. Three months into her son's first pass at third grade, Arlyssa Heard had a breakdown.
Judah was bright, but had begun calling himself stupid. The chaos of Detroit's precarious education landscape had forced him to switch schools every few months, leaving him further and further behind. There was no central system to transfer Judah's records when he moved, and according to Heard the school where he started the 2014-15 academic year had a single teacher assigned to 44 third-graders. Heard was virtually alone in trying to deal with the fact that her boy, then 8, could write only the first two letters of his name.
Detroit School Crisis Goes Way Beyond A Couple Days Of Missed Class. Detroit Public Schools Emergency Manager Darnell Earley's 'Sick Of Sick-Outs' 101 - www.liberalamerica.org. Sick of sick-outs?
Take it from Detroit Public Schools (DHS) Emergency Manager Darnell Earley and get yourself a snitch sheet so those you lord over can report their co-workers to you. That's what Earley's begun implementing at DHS in order to quash the sick-outs teachers have been waging on the regular in order to draw attention to the deplorable state of the district's schools under Gov. Rick Snyder's emergency management systems. In a largely uncirculated memo, remind the peons beneath you that strikes and protests are against the rules, then subtly slip the new rules mandating you turn on your peers in there, just like Earley did Jan. 14 of this year. Put it out on the sly so no one notices it until stumbling on it nearly two weeks later, as Earley did a short two days after an enormous sick-out that closed over half the district's schools.
Obama's America Will Become Detroit. President Barack Obama travelled to Michigan this week and made his case for class war in defense of the welfare state. We need to take more money from the rich, he said, or schools will not be able to afford books, students will not be able to afford college, and disabled children will not get health care.
"Our economic success has never come from the top down," said Obama.

It is heartwarming that estranged Patriotic Front Kasama Central member of Parliament Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba is calling for reconciliation within the ruling party.
This is as it should be in political groupings after undergoing turbulent times. But we would want to see all the various political parties in the country unite in order to foster a cogent work programme that best reflects their efforts.
It is important to recognise that there are those among us who have no interest in positive developments. They instead thrive on calumny and negative aspersions designed to cripple, undermine and ultimately destroy institutional synergy.
They are at their best championing causes for which they have little respect or regard. They will pontificate on corruption, morality and good governance and yet will in practice embrace these vices.
These are the typical hypocrites who fit the biblical description of Pharisees walking with long tussles, solemn faces and burdening others with impossible yokes and yet in reality, they are simply scoundrels, thieves and heartless individuals with no conscience.
Our preference would be for national harmony which respects our democratic diversity, because democracy is about balancing competing needs and interests. These interests must coalesce into national programmes if and when the various competing parties come into power.
Sadly for the last two decades our country has been afflicted by a malevolent force that has often derailed national agenda by introducing a populist and highly moralistic agenda that has had the effect of undermining structured programmes.
These are selfish programmes designed to serve the financial and power interest of the perpetrators. That is why we would like to join GBM and ask that they close ranks and guard against stalk borers.
Human stalk borers are individuals who thrive on negativity.
They have nothing good to say about anybody or anything unless they have something to benefit.
They are dangerous because they drill deep into the integrity of organizations, sowing doubts, suspicion and in the process entrenching themselves to reap personal benefit.
It does not matter what party is involved. It does not matter which party is in power, they will wriggle their way in and create a niche for themselves from which they hope to win favour.
They drill deep into the psyche using popular myths, fears and cliches to cling and hopefully gain a foothold.
Our parties must watch out for these double dealers and high priests of hate, who have nothing to offer.

Here is the link to the latest and updated Vivo Mobiles Price in Pakistan and their Specs in case you want some more info on Vivo Smartphones.
Now that we're at the end of 2018, more rumors are popping up about upcoming smartphones.
Today Vivo teased their upcoming NEX 2 phone, which is expected to come with a dual screen design. A few renders and a promo video have also appeared on their website, giving you an idea of what to expect.
NEX 2 will be officially launched on December 11, with Vivo planning a major announcement for when the promo campaign ends.
According to a leaker on Weibo, Vivo NEX 2 will come in up to 10 GB RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. Here's the leaked image:
Here's a video teaser of the Vivo NEX 2:
It is expected to come with a triple camera setup on the back in a circular module and a round LED flash.
Other specifications are currently unknown. It might come with a Snapdragon 845 chipset though.
It will cost more than $700 at launch.
About Vivo NEX
Vivo turned a lot of heads with its original NEX phone. It came with a small sliding module that housed the front camera of the Vivo NEX. This not only made the phone nearly edge-to-edge, it also made the phone a lot cooler as nobody had attempted this sort of design before.
Originally known as the Vivo APEX concept phone, the company decided to mass produce it, renaming it to NEX.
The trend caught on, with Oppo eventually releasing a phone with a bigger slider module which housed 3D face scanners and the rear cameras. Xiaomi and Huawei both had their own takes on the concept, releasing manual slider phones (Mi Mix 3 and Honor Magic 2) that use magnets to lock into place.

Exhale and Let Go
In July, Caleb and I spent a couple of days hiking in the glorious Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, after attending StrongFirst's Strong Endurance training in Denver. As part of the course we discussed training protocols and techniques to improve breath control, one of the simplest being to focus on the exhalation as a means of flushing out the carbon dioxide and waste products to make room for new oxygen to flow in on the inhale. We got a chance to put this into practice immediately following the seminar, as we took a quick hike from the Alpine Visitors Center up to an elevation of over 12,000 feet! At that altitude you can truly feel that no amount of gasping in for air will help – your only hope is to focus on exhaling fully so that you have the space for new oxygen as you breath in.

Want to wriggle into a curve-hugging dress (or skintight jeans, for that matter!) but despair at your pudgy belly? Or you're bloated to the point of discomfort? And need to lose it all right NOW?
Dr. Oz – the legendary cardiothoracic surgeon and author – has a super-simple solution. Which you can make at home, with ingredients straight from the refrigerator. For mere pennies. Take two-and-a-half cups of lemon juice and 15 peppermint leaves. Freeze the peppermint leaves and lemon juice together in an ice cube tray. Add three cubes to a glass of water and have at least three glasses of this icy water through the day.
Could anything be simpler? Or more inexpensive?
If you want a more permanent way to banish excessive body fat, Dr. Oz also recommends Kim Lyon's Fat Flush Water recipe. For this, simply combine the following in a large pitcher: one grapefruit (sliced; can be substitutes with a lemon), one tangerine (can substitute with an orange), one large cucumber (sliced), 10-20 mint leaves, water and ice cubes. Make a big pitcher of this Fat Flush Water every morning and drink at least eight ounces thrice a day, before each meal. For maximum effect, do this ritual for 10 days straight.
How does it work?
It's all in the chemistry of the ingredients. Both grapefruit and lemons are loaded with vitamin C to help your body turn fat into fuel; tangerine and oranges increase your sensitivity to insulin, stabilise blood sugar and stimulates genes to burn fat; cucumber helps you feel full and acts as a natural diuretic, which means less bloating and water retention; and peppermint is not only refreshing but also promotes better digestion and calms the stomach.

A visionary novel from Doris Lessing, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.
It is sooner than you might think. And the Earth's climate is much changed – it's colder than ever before in the north, and unbearably dry and hot in the south. Mara, who is seven, and her four-year-old brother Dann find themselves somewhere very strange, not home .
They are taken in by a kindly, grandmotherly woman, but this new life is hard: hunger, dirt, thirst and danger are the children's constant companions. Drought and fire carry off their adoptive home and force them to set off northward into the unknown, to experience a series of adventures that bring them to an altogether altered world, where they can start to learn and build anew.
Doris Lessing has written a compelling, troubling and entertaining novel that, through the remarkable odyssey of a brother and sister living in the imagined future, manages to tell us a great deal about the present we perceive only dimly and scarcely know how to value.

Nitrate-nitrogen in groundwater is a major public concern. Agriculture is often targeted as the primary source; however, crop producers are reluctant to reduce the amount of nitrogen they apply in fear of reducing crop yields and profits. Soil testing for nitrate-nitrogen is being promoted as a way to fine-tune or improve nitrogen management, but adoption by producers has been slow. This publication explains how to conduct a field demonstration using scientifically acceptable methods that are practical for on-farm use.

Greetings from the heart of the Dominican Republic — also known as the Cibao Valley. It's been a while since I posted. I've been busy outdoors, running around the central highlands of the DR: bathing in waterfalls, mountain climbing, rafting down rivers and taking in breathtaking views! It's a side of the Dominican Republic that few visitors get to see. I'll share a few postcards soon and look for my tips in the next Moon Dominican Republic edition (2016).
In the meantime, above is a two-minute video of my paragliding experience this week in the mountain town of Jarabacoa — an unforgettable 30 minutes. It shows just how incredibly diverse this country's landscape and geography are, well beyond miles of white sand beaches.

A Song of Waiting
Adaora, if I told you why, why I have chosen this path would it make a difference. Would it change the sad picture you have immersed in the still waters of memory's reflections, one that I suspect is infinite in consequence and without repentance.
Would the firm hands of time suddenly reverse and in a quick sweeping motion, erase all the torment of the past to allow us both a new clean slate to start afresh. To relive what once we had hoped would stay and would become our life; our future. The paths we had out for ourselves, crystal clear in the deep forest of fantasies.
It hurts me that I am uncertain that this is what you would want. It hurts me even more, that I suspect you have long moved on, memories of me, a distant haze in your swirl of thoughts. And more often now, I wish it were not so. I wish the fates were more kind and you less hurtful, but I know that wishes are indifferent to fate's verdict and so I choose not to think too much.
You See the choices I have made are without repentance mine. But then again, would you believe me if I told you that it had to be done for both our sake. What I did was for the benefit of our family and if fate ever gave me a say in that day's outcome, I would not have done it any differently.
Adaora, what have you told our daughter? What does she think of me? Sometimes, I wonder whether you told her of me. Of how much of a wretched father I was and how she must never tow my miserable path.
You have every right to be angry. I cheated on you more times than I can count or recall. The effusion of a timeless age has sapped away all my consciousness of time. All I have now is a void, a subtle sensation of a progress but with no direction. All I know now is a tortuous journey that it seems has neither destination nor purpose.
Adaora, remember; remember that our fates are linked and not just in consequence of what ezemuo proclaimed some years back, but also an inherent knowing that we have both been privy all our lives. Yes I admit it was cowardly to hang myself, to turn it all off when I could have persevered in hope. But watching you take Nkemdilim away from me whenever I came home full of my liquid labor was way too painful for me to bear. The fact that you had turned me, before her eyes, into a monster. I only did it to save you the misery of having to bring up our child, while her useless father added to your troubles. You were better off without my troubles.
You did me no wrong. And in truth, the resplendent smile on your face on the rare days I stayed home and avoided Mama Anthony's bar only reminded me of how much I didn't deserve you and slowly this feeling morphed into a self-consuming creed to rid you of myself, that you may one day have a chance at happiness. Despite the troubles of this journey and its profound mercilessness on what is left of my senses, Adaora , through the many ripples and space , and the stars in the bright heavens lighting the paths of a lonely spirit, my creed shall remain etched in the lips of trees, rivers, and the wind – you shall always have my heart.

Thorsten Askervold Opens His Racing Account in France
Tête de la Course Cycling athlete Thorsten Askervold has been in Europe for a little over a month now. He got his first taste of European racing in the last few weeks. Here is his report.
Last week I had my first race of the season called Plages Vendeennes. It is a series of 6 races (not a stage race) so I can do the days that my team wants me to do. I ended up doing 4 of the 6 days. I had an idea of what to expect going into the first race because of what my teammates told me. That said, I was still surprised. Compared to the racing I'm used to in the U.S, the racing here is a lot more aggressive and chaotic. We were racing every km of the race which meant that there was really no time to relax which was the first thing I had to get used to. The race would be strung out but you still have to eat and drink during that time so that you don't bonk later on. People are always trying to position during the race especially when key climbs come up or if the race is approaching small roads. So your mind just always has to be on and triggered. If you get lazy for like 10 sec, you might go from 15th position to 60th position instantly. When it came to the field sprints, positioning starts around 20-30 km to go. Crit racing in America can be aggressive but I found European racing to be even more so. Everyone is risking everything to cross that line first. Long story short, racing is definitely on another level here. I like it. I know that it will take some time to get used to the flow of racing here but I like the aggressive nature of it. My form is good, and feel like I can compete, especially when I get the flow down. So I am looking to get some results soon.
After the race I finally arrived at my new studio here in Laval France. I am really enjoying the lifestyle here, it is a lot more simple. It's a small town with many farms and forests surrounding it. I walk to the little grocery store everyday for my food and fresh baguette. That's another thing I've been trying to get used to, is that the French eat A LOT of bread. Especially for breakfast. The eating is a lot more simple in a way and it is always great quality and fresh food. I can taste the difference and it's great.
The training roads here are beautiful and peaceful – very small quiet roads, passing through farms and a lot of super small towns with very old churches and castles. The roads can also be very hilly. It is hard to find flat roads for sure. Another thing to get used to was the small roads. Cars drive very close to you a lot of the time, they respect cyclist here, but they do drive close and at very fast speeds but it is because sometimes the roads are only about one lane wide. You always have to be watching the road whether it's cars or cows crossing the road. The other nice part about living here is that I have teammates in the area and there are also pro riders to train with which means that there are always group rides happening which can make training a lot more fun.
My team has been great. Some of my teammates speak a little English and I have been trying to work on my French. It is definitely a hard language compared to English. But all of my teammates seem to be understanding of it and they help with my French (even if its bad words most of the time)…I get along well with everyone and which makes everything even better.
Life is great here.
I have my next race this Sunday. It's a one day race called "Vallée de la Loire". It should be a good one! Look for an update in the next coming week!

Rachael McKriger's Top 5 Cal U sports moments
April 30, 2018
With my college graduation approaching in a fast manner, I decided to follow in a former sports editor's footsteps.
When Matt Hagy graduated from California University of Pennsylvania in fall 2015, he wrote his Top 10 Cal U sports moments. However, I decided to only do five for the sake of spacing and keeping things uniform.
I've experienced a lot during my three years at Cal U. Some of my favorite memories include covering different sports events, from basketball to track.
Without further ado, here are my Top 5 moments in Cal U Vulcan sport.
5. Cal U wins the Coal Bowl over IUP
There is no other rivalry like a classic football rivalry.
"Friends don't let friends go to IUP" is a classic saying from proud Vulcan supporters. Indiana University of Pennsylvania and Cal U have had a long, withstanding rivalry in all sports. However, every year, the two sides face off in the Coal Bowl.
Back in 2016, the Vulcans narrowly won the Coal Bowl, 31-28.
A last minute, 39-yard field goal by Will Brazill gave the Vulcans the victory.
Normally, I go home on the weekends but I stayed home for this one. In 2015, I missed the Coal Bowl game, but this game had Gary Dunn at the helm as head coach. Seeing the Vulcans reclaim the Coal Bowl trophy was a big highlight as my first semester as Sports Editor.
4. Three 1,000-pointer scorers
During my time at California University of Pennsylvania, I've seen three women's basketball players score 1,000 points: Miki Glenn, Sierra Barrett and my fellow senior, Shatara Parsons.
It's an incredible achievement done through four years of hard work, dedication and hustle. Every time I watched those three players, there was never a question about toughness. Vulcan women's basketball head coach Jess Strom has produced incredible players throughout her years at Cal U, but those three are at the top of my list.
It wouldn't shock me to see players like D.J. Hahn, Gina Vallecorsa and Bianca Jasper hit that same mark in the coming years.
With an upcoming recruiting class of strong, young athletes, Cal U women's basketball has a solid future ahead of them.
3. Luka Anđušić steps on the court one last time
I have had the privilege of calling Luka a friend of mine at Cal U, so naturally hearing that his senior season was cut short by injury, I was devastated for him.
However, one senior night against Clarion University, he stepped on the court one last time. Honored alongside teammates Eric Green, Cordell Smith, Robel Teckle, Isaiah Lewis, Terry Davis Jr. and Jameal Tucker, Anđušić stepped on the court for one minute.
To my fellow seniors from the basketball team — both the men's and women's — congratulations on graduating and opening a new chapter of our lives!
2. Arganbright wins at PSAC Championship
While I wasn't in York, Pa., for the actual event, Jade Arganbright — arguably one of the best swimmers in the history of California University of Pennsylvania — won the 200 breaststroke at the PSAC Championships.
I've interviewed Jade for a few stories and got to know her well through the process. Arganbright might be one of the most intelligent swimmers I've ever talked to. When you to talk to her about swimming, it's not just diving into a pool and moving your arms.
I don't think I could ever meet anyone else that could even come close to explaining the dynamics of swimming like she did.
1. Vulcan Soccer
If you know me on a personal level, you'd know that soccer — which really is called "football" — is my area of expertise.
Soccer is my favorite sport in general, but covering it for the Cal Times and CUTV was a big dream come true. I first got my taste of broadcast journalism when the California Vulcans men's soccer team hosted Cedarville University at the Phillipsburg Soccer Facility.
On the call with me was Steve Ruffing, who showed me the ropes of calling soccer matches.
The Vulcans ended up winning the match in a dramatic fashion, with Cooper Amos scoring the game-winning goal in the 86th minute. I'll never forget the diving header into the back of Cedarville's net, which was assisted by Mike Cummings.
There are my five favorite sports moments during my three years at California University of Pennsylvania! Good luck to my fellow graduates, whether they are athletes or not, in the next phase of their journey!
In her senior year of college, Rachael McKriger is serving her second consecutive term as Editor-In-Chief of the California Times in the 2017-18 school...

The Tiny House movement is gaining popularity, but some are still out of the loop.
If you don't have time to explain the Tiny House Movement, here are a few other names you could use to describe your tiny house.
1. Small Cabin
Small cabins have been around forever. They are also often off-grid.
2. Portable Cabin
Imagine a cabin on wheels.
3. Custom RV
You are building your own RV camper.
4. Glamper (glamorous camper)
RV upgrade. Glamping has already popular. >> Check out this tiny house "Rustic Glamper".
5. Park Model RV
This is a real thing. Usually larger than a traditional tiny house.
TBH – I just wrote this post so all the time I spend finding cute head-tilting dog gifs wouldn't go to waste.
There's more! >>
Last but not least. ❤

Thanks for reading!

World Nomads: The Best Travel Insurance for Travelers (as Low as $12!)
BY Aileen Adalid / 39 Comments
CONFESSION TIME: I used to be the kind of person who NEVER bought travel insurance… and it was mainly because I deemed it as just an added unnecessary expense.
However, as I continued to travel the world, I've come to see the HUGE advantages of availing such a thing given the wide array of coverage not only limited to medical protection: missed flights, lost baggage, stolen belongings, sudden illnesses while traveling, accidents, and so much more. (For sure, I've also come to see how foolish I was for all the times that I didn't have one on me.)
So yeah, some people (including the old me) really think that traveling on a budget includes NOT buying travel insurance but that is NOT true.
Your trip or vacation would definitely not be as cheap anymore once your expensive DSLR gets stolen, or once you get infected by a virus abroad or have your leg broken from an adventurous activity — trust me on this one: there simply are just too many things that can happen on the road and you have to protect yourself from that.
Remember: life is absolutely unpredictable and YOU are not invincible. Any thing CAN go wrong, more so when you're traveling.
That being said, it's certainly an important expense (that you hope you never have to 'use'). Besides, travel insurance has proved and will continue to prove its worth to travelers.
I know of someone who hurt their back while out in the wilderness and if it weren't for his travel insurance, he would have spent tens of thousands of dollars for just the evacuation alone — imagine that!
So now comes the dizzying part: what's the best travel insurance out there?
I've tried various providers over the years but nothing — I repeat, nothing! — could beat World Nomads' benefits and coverage especially for a frequent traveler like me. It's just so right for me!
Here's why…
» What is World Nomads?
World Nomads is designed for travel. Set up in 2002, it covers people from over 150 countries worldwide and is backed by secure, trusted and specialist underwriters / insurers who provide great cover, 24-hour emergency assistance, and the highest levels of support and claims management especially when you need it the most!
» Why do I love World Nomads as a travel insurance provider?
The lowest price you can get is $12 which covers a single person for 2 days, worldwide excluding USA and your place of permanent residence. 1 week can start at $33, and so on and so forth.
You have to extend it before the policy end date in order for there to be no wait period; otherwise, you can just purchase a new one online. Take note that buying a new policy has a 3-day waiting period from the time you buy it and until it starts — rest assured, there's coverage during this waiting period for sudden serious illness or injury due to an accident. All other full coverage begins after the wait period.
» FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Is World Nomads valid for my Schengen Visa?
With my experience of applying for Schengen Visas, World Nomads is accepted as a travel insurance for visa applications. However, take my advice still with a gran of salt since it can still depend on the embassy located in your country. It's always best to verify with the embassy, if not World Nomads themselves.
Am I covered for Zika virus? Or for any illnesses and accidents (earthquake, etc.) that may happen during my trip?
As long as you contract the illness and/or suffer the accident during the period of your insurance, then yes you will absolutely be covered. However, if you contracted the virus prior to your departure and you have to cancel your trip, the cancellation expenses that you have to pay for related to your trip will only be covered.
I speak another language, can I talk to World Nomad's in my mother tongue?
The emergency assistance team of World Nomads are multi-lingual and are available 24/7. Whereas the claims team can communicate in English and Danish — but the general customer service team can only speak English. Rest assured, they will try their best to assist you!
Phone:+45 70 23 24 61 (call is not toll free, but you can claim this cost later on)
Text message only: +45 42 41 30 00 (include your policy number)
Email: [email protected]
What are the important things that I should know which are not covered by World Nomads?
Travel insurances don't cover everything so it's important to read the policy wording of your travel insurance. Thankfully, World Nomads covers a LOT. If ever in doubt, always contact World Nomads or check by their FAQ.
How can I make a claim?
You can make a claim online while travelling (or even after you return home) through your World Nomads membership. TIP: Make sure to gather all of the related receipts to your claim, or read the fine print on your policy.
It's important to note that every coverage is different and you need to find the right one that suits you — hence, if you're like me who travels a lot and who makes last-minute trip plans, but still wants a travel insurance that's not only well-priced but also easy to purchase and extend, World Nomads would be the right choice for you!
And with that, let me tell you this again: travel insurance IS important. For your safety and convenience, never travel without this nor should you ever skimp out on this either because you would be absolutely grateful should there ever be a time that you would need to use it (but it's my hope that you never do — keep safe out there!)
How about you?
I want to travel in Boston is it possible to get innsurance there.Reply
Yes of course! :DReply
Aileen, very helpful tips on insurance and comprehensive analysis. Thank touReply
You're welcome! Hope this can be of help.Reply
I have not been using travel insurance in the past. But reading Aileen's post I realized I should.Reply
Happy to hear that ;)Reply
What a wonderful post!Reply
Thank you for sharing this!Reply
Glad to be of help :DReply
I've been using the travel insurance World Nomads for years already and have always been happy with them. I like the fact that you can extend or buy a new travel insurance policy while travelling long-term too. Also their explore and standard versions are very clear to understand and the platform is super easy to use!Reply
Exactly, that's also what I love the most about them! They really make it easy for everyone to understand and avail travel insurance :)Reply
Some people maybe not too familiar with such kind of insurance but yes i think everyone should consider of having insurance including the abroad one, it will be great preventive for everyone who loves to travel. You describe it so clearly, Well done and thank u AileenReply
I'm glad you agree Steven! Insurance is absolutely a must when one is on a holiday to anywhere in the world :DReply
I'm not a nomad but I'm a traveler and I'll surely get one after I finish my studies so that I can travel once in a while when I'm on a break with my blog/biz.Reply
Surely! A travel insurance is definitely a must especially for your kind of lifestyle ;)Reply
I love World NOMADS! Travel insurance is often overlooked as an optional extra, but it's definitely not.
I've used them on all of my trips and when ever I've had stuff stolen or when I had family issues where they paid for my return flights back to Australia from Europe with very little paperwork. Excellent company :)Reply
I'm happy to hear that you were able to make successful claims with World Nomads, Liam! :D Just goes to show that it's an amazing company for travel insurance.Reply
I have a health insurance for abroad (well, as a German health insurance seems natural to me) but actually do not have other insurances. It seems they cover all kind of things, should look into that a bit more :/ :)Reply
Indeed, World Nomads cover a whole lot of other things compared to normal local insurances for example since they really cater towards your travel needs :DReply

The animal lover has been passed on to my son. He is animal crazy more then I was! He is our little Mogli. You can find him reading books on animals or running on all fours throughout the house. He is pretty quick! With him being the animal lover that he is, we have bought a family membership to the Alaska Zoo two years in a row. I wish we would of started it sooner!
The family membership costs $85. It includes parents, kids and grandparents admission for up to a year! Check it out, they have a new friend pass that is $150! It's basically the same thing as the family BUT the admission includes two adults from different households! You and a friend can split it, then visit together with the kiddos! Visit the annual passes page to learn more!
I thought we would just visit in the summer. I was wrong. We like to visit in the winter time as well to get out of the house. They are always having events that pass holders usually get discounts on. We visited the Zoo Lights last year and loved it! My favorite part was walking under the lights. Brooke loved watching the lights that danced to the music.
I really enjoy the fact that all of the animals have been taken in due to being injured or orphaned. You can read each animals story by their cages.
There are a lot of education events going on. For little ones, you can visit the Sing-A-Long, which is on Mondays at 10:30a or the Storytime, on Wednesdays at 10:30a. There are Adventure Camps, field trips, lectures and talks, Outreach Programs and more! You can even hold your kids birthday there! I might be doing this for Kaden's birthday coming up in January.
I highly recommend the zoo for all ages. It's a great place to get some fresh air and see some local animals! Our favorite animal to visit are the tigers and snow leopards. Don't call the snow leopard the wrong name or my 4 year old animal lover will correct you. He has done this numerous times to strangers.
Be sure to like Alaska Zoo on facebook to be in the know with upcoming events and photos!

It's atleast true for Italy (Florence). I had been there and I also traveled in the same manner.
The public transport will not save your valuable time when you have to visit entire Europe.
It is very interesting to learn that your own car gives you the possibilty to stop wherever you will and gives you more freedom. Bravo! Was it very difficult to find it out by yourself or somebody gives you some help?

Help fight for a Constitutional law giving us The Right To A Healthy Environment [TRTAHE].
This petition had 293 supporters
The Australian Federal Government does not presently have a legal responsibility nor the legal power, [nor the desire], to act above the States and Territories in regard to the 'approval' or 'rejection' of gas and coal mining projects nor other economic activity, to ensure "The Right To A Healthy Environment" of every Australian.
Impacts generated during the exploration and production stages of Gas-fields and coal mining projects may pose a potential threat to human health, animal health, our farmland, the environment, water resources and climate.
The State and Territory governments have 'sole power' in regard to the approval or rejection of mining projects. Their treasuries also 'receive any revenues' generated from the mining projects that they approve. A clear 'conflict of interest' exists.
"The little people"
When concerned Australians ask Federal politicians for help because of adverse health or environmental impacts, politicians always sidestep the question by saying, "Mining is a State issue."
During the ABC, Q & A Tamworth debate held before the 2016 Federal election, Sandra Bamberry who lived with her family near 25 gas wells in Tara, Queensland; addressed the panel claiming that the air and water around her home and land were contaminated by lead levels too high for the kids safety, so they moved out.
She asked the 3 politicians on the panel, "What will you do to help the little people like us get the new beginnings we deserve?" In short she was told by Barnaby Joyce the Deputy Prime Minister and by Joel Fitzgibbon the Labor spokesperson for Agriculture that 'mining was a state issue,' and Mr Joyce said that the High Court will not allow them to intervene. Sandra responded by saying to the politicians, "…. And you're sitting there telling me it's a State issue. It's not a State issue, it's a very, very serious issue right across the nation and you just sat there and told me you're going to do nothing."
Additional detailed background information
[if you have time and want to read more]
I, like many others became concerned when successive NSW State Labor and State Liberal/National governments approved 15 Coal Seam Gas exploration wells in the Woronora and Nepean drinking water catchments that supply the people living in Sydney with their drinking water. Coal Seam Gas-fields are well established in Queensland and in NSW a gas production field with 96 wells has been operating at Camden for 14 years. An exploration well was approved at Bentley near Lismore, 4 wells were 'fracked' at Gloucester, NSW., and 50 exploration wells have been drilled in the Pilliga State Forest at Narrabri, NSW., with a plan to drill 850 production wells there.
The Premier of Victoria, Daniel Andrews in August, 2016 announced that his government would introduce a ban on coal seam gas extraction to protect the state's valuable farming sector, which earned billions of dollars in exports each year and employed nearly 200,000 people.
There is a 'temporary ban' on gas-fields in Sydney's drinking water catchment, 'temporary !,' why is it only a temporary ban, that's crazy?
This newly developed form of gas extraction often described as 'fracking' arrived from the USA about 8 years ago and was approved by successive Labor and Liberal / National - State governments without any government sponsored independent scientific investigations being conducted beforehand to assess the risks. Conveniently for the gas miners, but alarmingly, independent "baseline testing" was not completed, meaning there is no original scientific record available with which to compare any potential adverse impacts to land, water and air against, "before" and "after" the mining commenced.
But still the politicians tell us, "its world's best practice." Well, in fact "it world's best American practice," and the Americans forced it on to their people without any independent scientific risk assessments or baseline testing being completed either. In fact, in 2005 they exempted the shale gas/oil industry from some provisions in the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act plus they allowed drilling and oil services firms to NOT disclose the type of chemicals that they used to frack, if they wanted to declare the chemicals a 'trade secret.'
It's not surprising that government oversight in Australia is basically a 'desktop model' with a few public servants processing reports while independent government authorised monitoring and testing is non existent. The fossil fuel industry contract / employ many former politicians and political staffers to lobby the state and federal politicians from the two major parties to look after their interests. This is backed up by substantial donations to the two major political parties meaning they have the ear of the government and the opposition. The regulatory system in place means that all testing and reports are completed by contractors hired by the mining companies, then forwarded to public servants for scanning and filing, after giving them a big tick of approval. So what about us, "the little people" ?
Communities living close to these gas-fields [and coal fields] have been fighting fiercely because of the threats these projects pose to their health, their children's health and the fact that their house and land will become worthless, meaning they can't sell up, because no one else wants to live there. You've got a house, a mortgage and your house is no longer safe for you and your children to live in. You're trapped!
There have been community successes, the Bentley and Gloucester gas projects [NSW] were stopped after protectors united and fought. Politicians don't listen unless an electoral seat is under threat. There are plans in place for the gas-field at Camden, NSW to close in the future. The "little people's" demand for a Federal Royal Commission into adverse health impacts will in the future be acted on after the truth comes out, but we can't just sit around waiting. State governments have approved many massive coal projects throughout NSW., Queensland and Australia. Of note is a proposed coal project on prime agricultural farmland on the Liverpool Plains, Gunnedah NSW., and another the proposed Carmichael coal mine in Central Queensland which will pose a further deadly threat to the sensitive coral of the Great Barrier Reef. Their federal mates signed off in regard to the "water issue side" [water trigger] of those projects allowing the states to then proudly claim, "The Federal government has approved this project." And the Federal politicians respond with something like, "We are step 15 in a 17 step process and the State government say 5 independent water experts concluded that the mine would not impact on highly productive aquifers." What would Maxwell Smart, Agent – 86 from Control, say about it, … "Chief, it's the old, 'good cop – bad cop,' trick."
This at a time when the Paris Climate Agreement signed by the Prime Minister of Australia, dictates that governments should keep fossil fuels in the ground to reduce the release of carbon dioxide [CO2] into the atmosphere. Coal Seam Gas [methane] is a flammable greenhouse gas 84 times more heat trapping than carbon dioxide in the atmosphere over the first 20 years. The Paris agreement also obliges governments to take strong action to support and promote a transition to safe clean non-polluting renewable energy, which is now, the new "innovation revolution." Why; because the good health of planet Earth and every thing on it is at high risk! This is World War III without the usual weapons. Nature can be more destructive than man made weapons.
Insurance companies worldwide have been factoring climate change into their risk assessments for over 40 years. In July 2017, a group of global firms with combined market value of US$1.5 trillion and US$20 trillion in assets will deliver recommendations to G20 leaders on how to avoid the risk of serious financial dislocation caused by a carbon bust. A chief executive with an Investor Group on Climate Change recently said, "Once you put it on your financial statements, companies start to treat it differently. Climate change is one of those issues that will never be material in any historical reporting period, right up until the point where your whole industry goes out of business." http://www.smh.com.au/business/banking-and-finance/investor-pushing-business-to-avoid-a-carbon-bust-20170209-gu9e1x.html
Funny isn't it, but it seems that the ordinary people 'get it,' and that the only group that don't 'get it' are the politicians here and throughout the world, who are slow to publicly and loudly acknowledge or take appropriate action re the imminent threat that climate change poses to the health of planet earth and everyone on it, which proves that fossil fuel lobbying is a powerful weapon.
The names of all the Australian politicians and others throughout the world who failed to stand up for planet earth when it mattered most, will be permanently etched into the pages of history. In years to come all their spin, excuses and 'in hindsight' defences won't be enough to erase the truth. All has been documented and the record will show that their political cowardice was spawned by a narcissistic desire to place the value of a financial benefit to their own political party and to themselves; above what is best for the climate, environment and the people that they claim that they represent.
Federal Treasurer Scott Morrison on 09.02.2017, produced a lump of coal in federal parliament, (it was coated with lacquer so he wouldn't get his hands dirty) and he joyfully handed it to the Deputy PM Barnaby Joyce whose face became red and expanded with apparent excitement and laughter. It was then passed to other Ministers on the front bench then to the back benchers. Mr Morrison said to the opposition and to us via our television sets, "Don't be afraid, don't be scared, it won't hurt you. It's coal." That got a good laugh from his side of the chamber, but it doesn't change the fact that in 2017 coal is a 'sick joke' in regard to its proven adverse impacts on climate change and to human health. On the positive side, I suppose it was a good visual aid supporting their promotion of "ultra-supercritical coal-fired power stations" an allegedly, very special NEW "clean coal" [CC] which everyone in the real world knows is actually ridiculously ultra-stupid - "dirty expensive clean coal." [DECC]
Just when you thought that the politicians had stopped treating us like idiots, the PM and his senior ministers told us there is an 'energy crisis' and a 'shortage of gas', and began loudly demanding that the states and territories reduce their renewable energy targets and withdraw their moratoriums or bans on coal seam gas fields. The PM called the gas industry CEO's to a meeting on 15.03.2017, announcing, "It is not acceptable for Australia – shortly to become the world's largest exporter of liquefied natural gas – to not have enough gas for its own families and it own businesses." He boasted about the size of his constitutional stick, saying, "the industry understands the gravity of its "social licence" to operate."
The truth is there is no shortage of gas in Australia, we export 70% of our gas to south east Asia, and there is enough gas in the Bass Strait to supply the east coast indefinitely. The ACCC in 2016 identified that Australian industry had received "few, if any, real offers for gas." So isn't this all just a phoney 'energy crisis' and 'shortage of gas'?" You bet it is, and journalist, Waleed Aly nailed it in an article he wrote in the SMH on 16.03.2017 titled, "Phoney energy crisis merely a ploy to access off-limits gas" and Waleed finished off his great article with, "It's a neat trick, really. Take a country with enough gas to supply itself "indefinitely," send the vast majority of it overseas, refuse to sell locally at a fair price, create a domestic shortage, then demand access to some of our most environmentally sensitive resources as though it's an emergency outcome."
Who's the PM kidding, no state premier would be silly enough to fall for that one ! Ur, Well …. actually one did, SA Premier Jay Weatherill announced that he is about to offer farmers in SA a 10% royalty for any gas wells drilled on their farmlands. Well I hope the royalty payments promised to farmers turn out to be a gigantic sum of money because once the gas wells are drilled on their farms they'll need all the royalty money they can get from the government. It will have to cover them and their family for the rest of their lives.
Why? Their farm will be turned into an industrialised gas-field, above and below ground and rendered valueless, meaning their 40 years of toil was for nothing, and the very high risk of toxic contamination will mean there's no farming future for you, your kids and grand kids. Not to mention the real risk of the states' farming sector collapsing. No person, nor politicians' family for that matter, will risk buying produce that comes from a farm that they know has gas wells on it. The same applies to overseas buyers. Reputation is everything. Most people in Australia are not prepared to knowingly buy food from China and that is why we want food labelling with country of origin to avoid contaminated imports. In fact families in China gladly buy healthy uncontaminated produce imported from Australia and are happy to pay top dollar for it. How many $billion is a state farming sector worth? The whole farming sector will be at risk of being stuffed forever. And the fact is, the state / federal governments and the gas miners don't have a "social licence," to impose toxic gas-fields on you, so lock the gate ! And fight like a scalded cat.
It's sad that while playing silly kiddies games in parliament house, our federal politicians also defend their cowardice in not promoting renewable energy with misleading claims about electricity price rises and grid security. Why? They are welded to a 20th century view of energy production, because the fossil fuel lobbyists have done their job and played them beautifully. The politicians are treating us like fools, while looking after their fossil fuel industry lobbyist mates.
The outdated and dying fossil fuel industry and their well connected lobbyists are no doubt, very gratified, relieved and happy with that 'political state of mind' as it serves to slow down their inevitable 'fossil fuel death spiral' while protecting their terminally ill financial investments.
Consideration of the good health of the Australian environment, the climate, its people, every animal, land and water, now and into the future, should override approval by any state or territory government of 'risky' projects, just because of a state or territory politicians' wet dream about their 'treasury bottom line.'
Can our federal politicians be trusted to consider and fight for your "right to a healthy environment" above decisions made by the states and territories; without a law that directs that they must? The answer is, "NO."
Will you join the fight to create a new federal law guaranteeing the 'constitutional recognition' of THE RIGHT TO A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT of every Australian
That is to give the federal government the responsibility and power above and over the states and territories to consider the preservation and protection of a healthy environment as the highest criteria, by directing the federal government to take responsibility and to be accountable, when necessary, to override the states and territories by stopping any projects that threaten the good health of our environment and us, "the little people."
"Australia we can do this !" - "No ?"… Would you believe we'll have a bloody go !"
…. and loving it.

Oil: Where to from here?
With oil at $137 today, where will it (and we) be tomorrow?
The EIA estimate the price for a barrel of oil between $113 and $186 in 2030. Some recent estimates put the price at $200 this year, or 2009, and $500 within 5 years. The simple answer is that we just don't know where oil is going.
What we do know is that the majority of 'experts' out there, from economists, to politicians, to bankers, even to people who speak for OPEC, have been taken by surprise by these prices.
There are a small, but growing group who predicted current events many years ago. One of the best commentators of all is the author of The Long Emergency, James Howard Kunstler (www.kunstler.com).
Kunstler also presents fascinating views on what he calls The End of Suburbia (available on DVD). He calls suburbia the greatest misallocation of resources in human history. He also criticises human beings for their delusional psychology, based on both a sense of entitlement and making investments entirely based on previous investments. In The Long Emergency he cogently argues why we are in for some nasty surprises, and an unpleasant collective wake up. That process - which he calls The Long Emergency - has now gone beyond the first pages of Chapter One.
The Prospects For Cities
It is not difficult or complicated to assess the prospects for cities in a world where energy is no longer cheap. European-style designs with three-floor buildings in walkable communities, connected by rail networks, are likely to be the most successful urban environments. The caveat is obviously the extent to which those communities depend on organic systems beyond a limited geographical areas (say 50-100 miles) beyond these city limits.
At the other extreme are places like Las Vegas, Phoenix and Honolulu. These are large urban centres that would never have been able to survive without constant supplies trucked and flown in from other areas. The larger the urban centre, the more difficult it will be to sustain, hence densely populated megacities will struggle. The top 10 most densely populated cities are:
1. Hong Kong, China
2. Lagos, Nigeria
3. Dhaka, Bangladesh
4. Jakarta, Indonesia
5. Mumbai, India
6. Ahmadabad, India
7. Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
8. Shenyang, China
9. Bangalore, India
10. Cairo, Egypt
Others unlikely to have it easy include Taipei in Taiwan, Seoul South Korea, Shanghai and Beijing, China, Tokyo Japan, London UK, New York USA and Delhi India. What is obvious from this list is the overpopulation of urban centres in China, India and Africa.
People living in these areas - or any other areas with large amounts of skyscrapers (any building beyond 5 floors) - will experience difficulties accessing adequate food and water supplies, as shortages (fuel and food) begin to have an impact. The poorer the governments that manage these urban centres, the sooner shortages (and thus conflict) will begin to take effect. Indonesia is a good example. Simon Radcliffe has recently written* that even in fairly well off South Africa, xenophobia attacks are linked directly to oil prices which rapidly rob the poor of the ability to function, even to feed themselves.
Although urban dwellers were attracted to cities by the prospects of jobs, in the Long Emergency (a Depression scenario), jobs will be scarce, and the only growing industries will be in resources (mining, agriculture). Where should people in overcrowded cities go?
The Prospects For Farming
While the human population increased 7 fold since 1800, crop production multiplied 10 fold over 200 years. Total grain area harvested peaked actually in 1981**, and has declined steadily by 8.7 % by 2000. Grain acreage per person is also decreasing rapidly. It is estimated that acreage will decline from .28A to .18A, or 35%, between now and 2050. This is due to population increase alone. To put into perspective the dire implications: we are struggling to feed the growing human population despite having the use of highly mechanised, and highly utilised crop production techniques. In the future there is no guarantee of either mechanisation or widespread use of fertilizers or pesticides.
Arable land in the world is no longer increasing. Top soil erosion, leaching, desertification and other consequences of climate change means it is no longer a straightforward process to identify the world's potential bread baskets.
It is imperative that rural areas receive immediate investments - in terms of human resources - to begin activating organic systems in sustainable ways. Many of the under-utilised areas are in Africa, for example Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
The Prospects For Suburbia
It might seem counter intuitive, but the prospects for people based in European-style cities or on farms are better than those in suburbia, and not by a small margin. Suburbia is a caricature of country living with none of the benefits. Are suburban homes plugged into any fruit growing orchards, or based near any operative streams? No. In the same way that water has to be piped to homes, food must be conveyed via endless oil-derived trips to the mall. And where do malls get their produce from? Trucked or shipped or flown thousands of miles?
Unfortunately, the carnage we are seeing in property markets is a natural rebalancing. As energy prices tilt upward, the relative value of suburbia (which is predicated on cheap energy, it requires cheap energy to function at all) crashes.
Not only do the prospects for suburbia become compromised, but also the cornucopia of services that have been developed to assist in the project: gardening, construction, interior decoration - these industries are disappearing along with airlines, truckers, supermarkets, banks and central government type schools.
The Future
The future will be lived more locally, as the world unflattens, and becomes a much bigger, less convenient place. Living locally means buying stuff from around where you live. So now more fishing rods or toilet seats from China. People will have to start learning how to fix things, and quit the throwaway disposable culture that persists.
There is likely to be instability and a lack of social order as the number of have-nots increases. Panic is inevitable as more and more people begin to realise that this degeneration is a permanent phase, they will learn the patterns of consequence: that oil price increases today translate to higher fuel prices in the not to distant future.
The Locals Hope and Pray
In South Africa next week we have another 70 cent price hike, despite paying 50 cents a month earlier. The bad news is the 7- cent hike isn't close to reflecting oil prices at current levels. South Africans face at least 6 more months of devastating increases, from R10 a litre to about R16 by Christmas. Everyone is hoping by Christmas that the oil price will be lower than $137.
People like Jim Kunstler don't expect these prices to come down. Neither do I. $150 by Christmas is a conservative estimate, and we are not far from $200. Demand destruction cannot happen when we are chronically addicted to a commodity vital in so many ways to everyday life. While there are massive amounts of oil that remain, demand is equally massive, and in fact, slightly greater than what we're able to extract. Production has peaked, and the top of the slope resembles a long plateau at around 85 mbpd. It is unlikely that we will ever see 90. But the magic number '85' needs to stay high. Once this number drops, the fuel price will adjust for a more vertical course.
Expensive energy predicates new living arrangements and lifestyles for virtually everyone.

Expensive wine 88: Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignonm 2013
The post-modern Australian wine business deals in more irony than a pulp detective story has bad similies. One of the most ironic is that Penfolds, for decades the best known and among the best Aussie producers, is owned by Treasury Wine Estates, which is giving new meaning to the term Big Wine.
Somehow, Penfolds still makes great wine. I've been lucky enough to taste the Grange, generally considered the greatest Australian wine, and it is. The Bin 407 ($57, sample, 14.5%), which costs about $500 less than The Grange, shows how committed Penfolds remains to quality.
Look for that unique style of Aussie black fruit – deep and rich and generous and sweet, but because it's Penfolds, not overdone and surprisingly in balance. Also, layers and layers of other flavors, including lots of pepper and spice. The tannins, too, are firm, and don't disappear in a wave of fruit.
Highly recommended, and especially for any fathers who appreciates cabernet. The wine is still a little young, but is ready to drink now, and would pair with almost any Father's Day barbecue.
