By Dr. Mercola
In the video above, medical illustrator Brandon Pletsch gives a concise and straightforward explanation of a very complex topic: how you can hear. At the most basic level, you hear through a process known as auditory transduction.
Your ear converts sound waves in the air into electrical impulses that can be interpreted by your brain. Your ears capture sound traveling through the air as vibrations in air pressure. The outer part of your ear, or pinna, catches the sound waves first.
Once sound waves pass your outer ear, they enter your ear canal and trigger vibrations to your eardrum, a thin piece of skin that sits between the ear canal and your middle ear.
Your eardrum vibrates faster from high-pitch sounds while loud sounds move your eardrum back-and-forth a greater distance. Once sound waves vibrate your eardrum, it moves a group of tiny bones in your middle ear called the malleus, the incus, and the stapes.
Collectively known as the ossicles, these are the smallest bones in your body, but they have a very important job – amplifying the force from your eardrum so the sound information can be passed on to your inner ear.
The Role of Your Inner Ear and Brain
The amplified vibrations from your eardrum travel to the cochlea in your inner ear, which conducts sound through fluid (instead of through air, as is done in your outer ear). It's here that the sounds are translated into nerve impulses that your brain can recognize and understand as distinct sounds. According to How Stuff Works:1
"The cochlea structure consists of three adjacent tubes separated from each other by sensitive membranes… The stapes moves back and forth, creating pressure waves in the entire cochlea.
The round window membrane separating the cochlea from the middle ear gives the fluid somewhere to go. It moves out when the stapes pushes in and moves in when the stapes pulls out.
The middle membrane, the basilar membrane, is a rigid surface that extends across the length of the cochlea. When the stapes moves in and out, it pushes and pulls on the part of the basilar membrane just below the oval window.
This force starts a wave moving along the surface of the membrane. The wave travels something like ripples along the surface of a pond, moving from the oval window down to the other end of the cochlea.
The basilar membrane has a peculiar structure. It's made of 20,000 to 30,000 reed-like fibers that extend across the width of the cochlea. Near the oval window, the fibers are short and stiff. As you move toward the other end of the tubes, the fibers get longer and more limber.
This gives the fibers different resonant frequencies… Because of the increasing length and decreasing rigidity of the fibers, higher-frequency waves vibrate the fibers closer to the oval window, and lower frequency waves vibrate the fibers at the other end of the membrane."
When a wave reaches fibers with a resonant frequency, it releases a burst of energy that then moves tiny hair cells found in the organ of corti, a structure that stretches across the length of the cochlea.
The movement from the hair cells sends an electrical impulse through the cochlear nerve, which in turn transmits the information to the cerebral cortex in your brain for interpretation.
Everyday Noise Could Cause You to Lose Your Hearing
It used to be thought that hearing loss was typically the result of hair cells in your ear degrading with age. However, excessive noise will also kill cells in your inner ear. The longer you're exposed to loud noise, the more hair cells in your ears will be destroyed.
Your hearing worsens as the number of hair cells in your ears decreases, and once they're gone, there's currently no way of restoring your hearing to what it once was.2
Most people are aware that exposure to loud noises, such as at a rock concert, can damage your hearing over time, but many may be surprised at the many everyday noises that may contribute to hearing loss.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 1.1 billion teens and young adults may be at risk of losing their hearing due to unsafe levels of recreational noise.3
WHO analyzed data from middle- and high-income countries and revealed nearly half of those aged 12 to 35 years are exposed to unsafe levels of sound from personal audio devices (such as smartphones).
Further, about 40 percent are exposed to potentially damaging levels of noise at entertainment venues, such as nightclubs, bars, and sporting events. WHO estimates that over 43 million young people worldwide are living with disabling hearing loss due to recreational exposure to loud sound.
The highest permissible level of noise exposure in the workplace, according to WHO recommendations, is 85 decibels (dB) for a maximum of eight hours. They note that many are exposed to levels of 100 dB or more while in entertainment venues, but this level of noise is only considered safe for a maximum of 15 minutes.
For comparison, the American Hearing Research Foundation has compiled this chart of approximate decibel levels of common sounds:4
Approximate Decibel Level Examples 0 dB The quietest sound you can hear 30 dB Whisper, quiet library 60 dB Normal conversation, sewing machine, or typewriter 90 dB Lawnmower, shop tools, or truck traffic; 8 hours per day is the maximum exposure (protects 90 percent of people) 100 dB Chainsaw, pneumatic drill, or snowmobile; 2 hours per day is the maximum exposure without protection 115 dB Sandblasting, loud rock concert, or auto horn; 15 minutes per day is the maximum exposure without protection 140 dB Gun muzzle blast, jet engine; noise causes pain and even brief exposure injures unprotected ears; maximum allowed noise with hearing protector
Noise-Induced Hearing Loss May Be a Hidden Epidemic
The pure tone audiometry test is most often used to assess hearing, but it tests hearing in a quiet setting. While your hearing may test fine according to this test, you could still have trouble hearing in real life, when you must pick out sounds in the midst of background noise. Researchers believe this "hidden hearing loss" may be on the rise. As reported by The Daily Mail:5
"… [N]oise may actually cause irreversible damage to the connections (called synapses) between hair cells and nerve cells in the cochlea, so that they cannot send information to the brain. This is thought to be what's going on in hidden hearing loss, says Chris Plack, a professor of Audiology at Manchester University.
… The damage is thought to occur because over-stimulated hair cells produce an excess of the chemical glutamate, which is toxic in large amounts. Scientists hope to one day be able to reverse this damage by treating the surviving neurons with neurotrophins (molecules which promote healthy nerve growth), injected through the eardrum."
Signs you may have hidden hearing loss include:6
- Difficulty understanding speech when there is background noise (but not in quiet environments)
- Not being able to understand what people are saying on TV even when the volume is loud
- Struggling in social or work situations when there are lots of people talking
- Standard hearing tests say your hearing is fine, but you still struggle
There is, unfortunately, no widely available test to reveal hidden hearing loss. Dr. Etienne Krug, WHO Director for the Department for Management of Noncommunicable Diseases, Disability, Violence, and Injury Prevention, stated:7
"As they go about their daily lives doing what they enjoy, more and more young people are placing themselves at risk of hearing loss… They should be aware that once you lose your hearing, it won't come back. Taking simple preventive actions will allow people to continue to enjoy themselves without putting their hearing at risk."
How to Avoid Hidden Hearing Loss
Worldwide, 360 million people have moderate to severe hearing loss due to various causes, from noise or infectious disease to the use of certain drugs and aging. It's estimated that half of these cases of hearing loss are avoidable.8 This includes cases of hidden hearing loss or noise-induced hearing loss. WHO recommends teens and young people take the following steps to protect their hearing and avoid hearing loss:
Turn down the volume on personal audio devices Try a decibel meter app for your smartphone, which will flash a warning if the volume is turned up to a potentially damaging level Wear earplugs when you visit noisy venues Use carefully fitted noise-cancelling earphones/headphones, which may allow you to listen comfortably at a lower volume Limit the amount of time you spend engaged in noisy activities Take regular listening breaks when using personal audio devices Restrict the daily use of personal audio devices to less than one hour
On a larger scale, Konstantina Stankovic, an auditory neuroscientist and surgeon at Massachusetts Eye and Ear, and Harvard Medical School, believes loud noises should be banned in public spaces just as smoking is. Certain countries have established laws to monitor noise levels in bars and clubs in order to protect workers' health, while in 2014 the Minneapolis City Council passed a law requiring bars and clubs to offer free ear buds to customers.9 New Scientist reported:10
"Stankovic thinks more will need to be done to change socially accepted norms around recreational noise. 'I think it will require a public health effort similar to the efforts for limiting smoking, because of the peer pressure associated with loud music and noisy environments,' she says. Many of us find events or venues uncomfortably loud, but we assume we are the only ones that do, she says, because everyone seems to be having such a good time."
Is Noise Pollution a Problem for You?
Recreational noise is just one type that can damage your hearing. In the US it's estimated that 100 million people are exposed to unhealthy levels of noise pollution, typically from automobile and aircraft traffic (although everything from leaf blowers and lawnmowers to loud music can also contribute).11 Noise pollution may increase your risk of hearing loss, but it goes much further than that. Stress, sleep disturbances, diminished productivity, and even heart disease can also result.
One of the key ways excessive noise harms your heart is by elevating stress hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline, and noradrenaline, which, over time, can lead to high blood pressure, stroke, and heart failure. Research also suggests long-term exposure to noise pollution may have an affect on cognitive development in children and cognitive and psychological functions in adults.12 If you live in a very noisy area, such as near a highway or airport, you may want to consider moving.
If that is not an option, consider adding acoustical tile to your ceiling and walls to buffer the noise. Double-paneled windows and insulation can also help. At the very least, you can sound-treat your home by adding heavy curtains to your windows, rugs to your floors, and sealing air leaks. If noise is only an issue occasionally, sound-blocking headphones can eliminate such disturbances.

Legislation was passed on 12 October 2016 which increases the middle tax bracket threshold from $80,000 to 87,000, retrospectively from 1 July 2016. The marginal tax rate of 37 percent now starts at $87,000 instead of $80,000. By pushing up the tax threshold on the middle tax bracket, average full-time wage earners will be kept on the lower rate for longer. This will stop around 500,000 taxpayers facing the 37 percent marginal tax rate this coming financial year.
Examples of the reduced amount of tax for the full year are shown below:
For employees:
If you earn more than $80,000, your employer will reduce the amount of tax being withheld from your pay. You don't have to do anything. Any extra tax you have paid before the change will be credited to you when you lodge your 2017 income tax return.
For employers:
New tax tables and payroll software updates apply and the ATO Tax Withheld Calculator has also been updated The updated tax table is downloadable from the ATO Website

But what i don't like is how it starts the same and ends the same. Im still trying to work out my cameras, as soon as i can nail the cameras, the sooner i can get on with the rest of the animation.

Building a fish is more than just filling your dug with water as well as fish. You must know the different steps in building a proper fish pond to be able to earn money from it in the future. There are few things that you need to consider before starting to build a fish pond. Now, there are different types of ponds, some of the examples are:
• Plastic fish pond OR otherwise known as mobile fish pond
• Wooden fish pond.
• Concrete fish pond
• River/Stream fish pond: This is practiced by constructing a barrier to control the population and movement of the fishes in a particular area of a natural river or stream.
• Earthen pond: This kind of fish pond is said to be the most preferred type by some farmers because of the presence of some micro-organisms which aid the breeding of the fishes. It is also known as the oldest form of fish pond in Nigeria. It is dug to an extent beneath the surface of the earth to allow the action of capillary water in the soil to take place, just like in the case of a well water system but must not become too deep must also have in enough space. This system should be shallow, preferably in a location close to a natural form of water like river or stream. Now let's get started!
Conditions Necessary for Siting a Fish Pond
Availability of Water: Fishes are aquatic animals, as their life depends entirely on water. The water must be free from pollutants, colour, smell, and taste. The resources may be streams, rivers, boreholes or springs.
Availability of Fingerlings: The fingerlings to be used must be the fast-growing type. Moreso, they must have high feed convertibility. Ideally, the fingerlings must be ready to be harvested at about seven months from the time of hatching.
Vegetation of the Place: Light vegetation is ideal, preferably grassland. This will be easy to clear, sump and excavate before siting the fish pond.
Topography: The land must be flat, but must allow the gentle flow of water from a higher region to a lower region. The area must not be floody, but if floody, then construct embankment and other barriers early enough.
Soil Particles: The floor of the area must contain clayey soils because this helps to retain water. Also the soil must be rich in order to survive the fingerlings.
Size and Location: The size depends on the availability of funds, and the type of fish farming to be practiced. Therefore, for commercial fish farming a large expanse of land is required. The location can be either in the lowland or upland.
Availability of Feeds: Fishes are usually supplied with supplementary feed especially during the day. This includes kitchen products, vegetables, as well as manure and fertilizers which should be supplied to enhance the growth of planktons.
Location of the Hatchery: The hatchery should not be not be too far from the fish pond. Fingerlings are very fragile and die off easily, hence when released from the hatchery must be sent immediately into the pond.
Availability of Labour: The availability of labour should be considered. Fish pond should be in a place where labour supply is high, since the work is labour intensive, that is, clearing, stumping, excavation of the land, feeding of fish down to harvesting and processing activities.
Establishment of a Fish Pond
Before fish pond is established, certain operations must be carried out. They include the following:
Site selection, surveying of the land, clearing and stumping of site, construction of core trench, construction of spill way, impoundment of pond, pond fertilization, pond inoculation, liming.
I'll briefly discuss those terms you might not be familiar with.
Construction of Core Trench:
This involves the removal of soil.
Soil can also be escavated.
Position should be at right angle to the dam.
Consolidated walls with stones and cement (concrete pond)
Construction of Spill Way:
· Position at one end of dam
· Use wood and fire-meshed screen.
Impoundment Of fish Pond
· Filling of pond with water.
· Done by opening the monk board of the reservoir.
· Water released to flow and fill pond.
Pond Fertilization
· Fertilization encourages the growth of micro-flora.
· By pouring organic fertilizers such as poultry droppings, cow dungs or use of inorganic ones like N.P.K or super phosphate or liming.
· Carried out 15 days before stocking pond with fish.

Sylvester Stallone confirms that Walter Hill will be directing Headshot
If you're a guy and you want your testicles to double in size, go back and watch the testosterone-laden films of the great Walter Hill (48 HRS., SOUTHERN COMFORT, THE WARRIORS, THE DRIVER).
And appropriately enough, the news today is that iconic tough guy Sylvester Stallone (THE EXPENDABLES, RAMBO) has officially locked down Hill as the director for the cop drama HEADSHOT. Here's Sly dishing the news to Harry Knowles at AICN:
"It's official. We've got Walter Hill on board so would love for you to let the world know. We've been on the same track since The Driver, then 48 Hrs didn't happen so here we are almost 35 years later, I'm finally driving with Walter Hill."
As Harry points out, it's kind of mind-boggling to imagine that Stallone could've been in either 48 HRS. or THE DRIVER, two very awesome films of their era.
Back to HEADSHOT - the project just last week lost its original director Wayne Kramer (CROSSING OVER, THE COOLER) due to creative differences, which led many to wonder if Stallone would be getting in the director's chair himself. Would the film now become a Stallone vanity project? Shortly afterwards, however, Deadline revealed that Walter Hill was one of several directors that Stallone was considering for the gig:
"I completely respect Walter's incredible body of work and hopefully this legendary director will become attached to the project."
Sly got his wish and now it seems that the film, from Oscar-nominated writer Alessandro Camon (THE MESSENGER), may once again be a respectable dramatic vehicle for the actor, as well as a much-welcomed big screen return for Walter Hill.
|Extra Tidbit:
|Hill was also involved with the ALIEN series as both a writer and a producer, and more recently with HBO's "Deadwood".

You're driving to work. You're going westbound on 94, or south on 169. Traffic is probably terrible. Your iPod is plugged in; if you're listening to the Current or Radio K, you're in the minority. You probably know but don't consciously realize the fact that there are bands all around you, right here in your hometown. Not just bands, but good bands, who make good music that you would like if only you heard it.
This is the first post here on Suspended Play – inaugural, but think about it for a second – this is probably not your first exposure to local music. Some of us might have a friend in a band, or a cousin who makes beats, or even just a coworker who noodles around on their acoustic guitar when the mood strikes. David Byrne (of Talking Heads fame) writes in his stellar book How Music Works about how engaging with 'music' only took it's current shape of passive listening once recording technology became sufficiently cheap and accessible, putting record players in every home. Prior to that, 'music' was going over to your friend's house to try to play that new John Philip Sousa piece with your families in the living room. Of course, I'm not suggesting we all pick up instruments and go full-on Arcade Fire here. I just want us to maybe consider engaging with music in a more active way – starting by connecting you to some local acts that, heaven forbid, you might even like.
With that in mind, this maiden voyage of a post will highlight three bands based here in the Cities. Come back next week for another few, and keep your eyes peeled for upcoming interviews, reviews and features. It's all very exciting stuff.
The slow-burn of Lazy Scorsese's Fear & Love in MPLS proves two things. Psychedelia is not dead in the Twin Cities, and it can soothe just as easily as it can… Discombobulate. The relaxed groove the band settles into is precise, smooth, dreamy, and just eerie enough to keep you wary the whole way through. Especially impressive is the range of instruments the band is able to weave in without making the track feel overstuffed or too busy. You'll hear sweeping string sections, electric piano, of course plenty of psychedelic guitars, and is that a hammond organ? Of the songs message, frontman Anthony 'Oz' Oslund says it's "about internal hardships as well as external fears … and how someone close to you can make that all disappear for a moment just by looking at you a certain way". You can find the band this Sunday playing from the rooftop of the BP gas station (!) on 36th and Lyndale, but they do have more traditional shows coming up that you can find on their website.
You'd be forgiven for getting halfway through Wetter's Truth Song and asking yourself 'where is this going'? (which coincidentally seems to be a question singer Melissa Jones is answering with this song). However, about two minutes in, the track begins to take new shape. The instrumentally minimal preamble gives way to a rewarding indie-rock payoff – or 'bummer-wave', as the band describes their sound on Facebook – and a syncopated vocal hook that would make Frankie Cosmos jealous, sounding somehow world-weary and empowered simultaneously. This level of compositional restraint elevates the track, making the payoff all-the-more rewarding. Their more recent single, entitled The Big Disappointment (bummer-wave, remember?), is equally as poignant and can be found on their bandcamp page. The band's next show is June 13th at Reverie Cafe + Bar.
Kazyak put out an EP a couple years ago – See the Forest, See the Trees. I'll admit, I'm late to the party on this one, but damn if that EP didn't blow me away. It melded a love of acoustic instrumentation with forays into electronic sound-glitchery, showing an ear for angular, mathy riffs and a post-rocker's mind for composition – all in the name of folk! However, it's been a couple years, and the band have recently released a new single in support of an upcoming summer release, Happy Camping. This single – Sundialing – distills that same spirit of acoustic experimentation and sprawl into a shimmering 4-minute indie folk song. It's the sound of a band who previously threw everything at the wall and saw it stick take this experience and turn it back into a near-perfect summertime folk track to chill out to. Repleat with layers of double-tracked acoustic guitar, understated strings, and a soaring vocal line that begs us all to close our eyes and feel the sun on our skin; after the thinking music of See the Forest, See the Trees (which is still amazing), I have to admit it's nice to zone out and let this one sink in. You can find the band June 13th at Icehouse, with their new EP coming a week later.

My DH has had a problem with his hands for quite some time now. He is a part time mailman and handling paper all day is very drying to his hands. They started itching, peeling, cracking and even bleeding. He was having a real hard time sleeping and nothing that he was doing as far as creams and lotions was helping him.
I decided to take the bull by the horn and try to do a few things to help him out. I made him start using used coffee grounds when washing his hands at the end of the day. I started using the coffee grounds with soap to get the billy goat smell off of my hands, it works and after a few times of using it, your hands get soft and smooth.
I told him to avoid washing his hands during the rest of the day. This is hard for him because his hands get so dirty. I found him a bar of Ivory soap and that is all I am letting him use. No more anti-bacterial stuff.
After he washes his hands at night, I make him soak his hands in goat's milk for 10 minutes. I told him to use bag balm on his hands after that but he only did that one night. It made his hands too messy. So far so good, he is really noticing a difference. He thinks that the goat's milk is the key. So chalk up another good use for goat's milk.

A photographic exhibition that aims to celebrate the resourcefulness and organisation of ordinary Indian women. Women Changing India is currently up at Gallery 011 in Kramerville, Sandton, and aims to celebrate Indian women.
BNP Paribas, a multinational bank, was celebrating it's 150th year in India and wanted a way to honour their social responsibility in the country - by of way of thanks for the support the Indian people have given it over the years.
This CSI (corporate social initiative) effort has, however, given rise to a book by the same title. It is a combination of imagery and text that celebrates Indian women in their various professions, as trailblazers in social settings, and honours them for their initiatives to make their own lives better.
The book is edited by Urvashi Butalia and Anita Roy, with the former being the leader of Zubaan, a feminist publishing house that works mostly in South Asia.
It explores the stories of women like radio DJ Safia Ally, of Mirchi FM in New Delhi, and tells of the success of female choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant in Bollywood, while also exploring the women's self-help groups that have led to the establishment of communal banking systems and small businesses selling items such as milk to make a living.
The fields explored in the exhibition are Micro-credit and Women's Self-Help Groups, Women Panchayats (village councils), Women in the Mumbai Film Industry, Generation Now ( women in aviation, information technology, law and politics) and Women Icons - leaders in the fields of health care, law, politics across the social castes, the banking sector, education and the arts.
Speaking to Tonight at the launch of the exhibition, Butalia explained that for them it is symbolic that the exhibition is in South Africa, given the similarities of the two countries from their shared history.
"What we did was we decided we'd focus on women's positive achievements - which doesn't mean we didn't take note of the challenges, but we need to tell the good story. We drew up a list, talked among ourselves to detail these stories then contacted the women to see if they'd be willing to be written about."
"We kept in mind the different parts of India, sectors, castes and classes. So the politician we have is a Dalit politician - from the bottom of the hierarchy - who started her own independent party. The writing in the book is the stories of these women but also essays that touch on similar subjects, in a broader perspective."
Butalia said she hoped the exhibition would inspire South African women to get organised and to see that change is possible.
"I hope many things for this exhibition. Even though you can see the differences between South African women and Indian women culturally, there are many similarities.
"The struggles of the women are similar and we can see the parallels between our stories and South African stories. But I also hope you can see that change is possible, and that even if it may be small, it starts somewhere," Butalia said.
* The exhibition is on until Thursday at Gallery 011 in Kramerville.

In a bid to rid Nigeria and its citizens of breast and cervical cancer, Pink Pearl Foundation was on hand at the Oluwole Ogba Mosque in Lagos state recently for a breast and cervical cancer training session.
The session featured an awareness lecture on breast and cervical cancer and a practical session on how a breast self-exam is conducted.
The lecture, delivered in English language, was given by one of the foundation's medical professional Dr. Vivian Ochilogu and also interpreted into Yoruba by the presiding Host in order to carry along the listening audience. The lecture was punctuated by illustrations and images from the slideshow made available.
Another member of the foundation's medical team, Dr. Tope Jones, rounded up the lecture and proceeded to demonstrate and teach the women the techniques on how to perform proper breast self-examination as early detection is key to survival.
This was closely followed by a question and answer session officiated by Dr. Ufuoma Oketete which ended the training session with a climax as the enlightened women presented the foundation and the medical team a resounding round of applause.
A free breast cancer screening later followed after the training session with 5 persons diagnosed of breast abnormalities out of the total 53 screened. Spokesperson for Pink Pearl Foundation, Grace Agbanajelu said, this forms the foundation's most frequent question at the moment, which is, "what do people do after the screening"? "In as much as we try to keep our eyes on the goal of the foundation by its founder – Mrs Orode Ryan Okpu, we are working towards future projects of extending the NGO's arm to the next level of establishing centres across Nigeria, we want to drive it home, into the hearts of people; the need to encourage women with abnormalities to take the next level of treatment seriously.
The Chief Imam of the mosque, Alhaji Saadallah Bello gave the vote of thanks, acknowledging the foundation's humanitarian work, the success of the training session and emphasized steps taken by the mosque to help women with abnormalities seek further medical attention. This, he said, was part of their routine and sermon to encourage the women at the mosque to own up to regular checks and also help others. He noted that the five women detected with breast abnormalities would be assisted in getting treatment.
About Pink Pearl Foundation

My 5-day birthday trip is only 10 days away, so I went to www.accuweather.com to look at their 15 day forecast. It's forecast to be in the mid-90s the whole time! With high humidity!
I've got a lot of big meals planned out, but I'm starting to second guess my strategy. I can't imagine gorging myself and then walking out into that kind of heat. Couldn't you damage yourself?
I know that a 15-day forecast is a total crapshoot, so here's hoping it changes.

A guy with a fake beard, wearing a Diego Maradona T-shirt walks up to us and asks if we want to take a picture with him. There is a figure of Pope Francis on some balcony. Close by, a lady dressed as a tango dancer poses for pictures with very cheerful and slightly intoxicated, middle-aged men. Hmm… Where are we?
And to think that in the morning this day looked as if it would be particularly good and fun.
As we left home, we set on our first mission—buying bus tickets. So we walked into the first kiosk, we asked about them, but the gentleman quickly responded that kiosks don't sell tickets, and that we should go straight on, then turn right, turn left, and again turn right, and there should be a ticket sale point. I don't have to mention, that we didn't find it. So I walked up to the next kiosk, and the newsagent told me clearly that I can buy tickets at shops with the word "lotery" in their banner, which sell lottery tickets and coupons for various games. We quickly came across one of them. After a short conversation we learned that tickets are no longer in use, there is only something like a card ticket. So we bought one, we topped it up with 50 peso and we went toward our bus stop.
Although our bus was just leaving, soon after another one arrived. We got on it, but as soon as we did, the driver ordered us to fold the baby carriage and pick Amelia up. Luckily, there were free seats, so we took them. Amelia needed just a second to scratch the neck of a lady sitting in front of us, to try and take the mobile from a lady sitting right next to us and to smile at several other people who happened to be nearby. In general, everyone was smiling at her, trying to talk to her and saying how amazing are her huge, blue eyes, which are not common in South America. So this was the way we spent the 40 minutes of our journey to the dock district, La Boca.
At a first glance—we liked it. It's nice—we said to ourselves. At last, some dirt and less order. Unfortunately, it was also much poorer, which was visible to the naked eye. After a while, as we were walking toward the port, a woman in her forties walked up to us and told us to be careful and to watch out for our child, because it was dangerous there. We don't know exactly what she meant. But it was true, that we have just entered streets with almost no people around, and only some men walking about here and there. We walked past them, quite confidently, and soon we could see larger and larger groups of tourists. This meant, that we were close.
I wanted to see La Boca from the moment I saw the first picture with its colourful houses. I thought to myself, that it would be nifty to see something different, colourful, instead of the regular parts of the city. When, after we arrived, I read in a tourist guide that La Boca is stunningly authentic, I thought that we must have made a mistake and that we went to a different district.
That colourful La Boca is actually limited to three streets which are organised strictly for tourists. Right at the entrance there was a guy dressed as the Argentinian football player, Diego Maradona, but with a fake beard and hair, who was inviting people to take pictures with him. What's worse—they did that! Further in, there was a figure of Pope Francis, which was not quite as scary, as walking slightly deeper and seeing several more figures and figurines of the Pope. The worst ones were those by the restaurants. Apart from the Pope, there was also a look-alike of Lionel Messi, who is, obviously, also Argentinian. All export goods of Argentina were "displayed" there.
There was also tango, which was no less tacky, than the situations and items described above. That is, you could take a picture of yourself putting your face through a cardboard frame and becoming a tango dancer for a while. Also there were people dressed as tango dancers on the street, inviting people to take pictures with them. In many restaurants there were pairs dancing tango who, after the show, posed for pictures with restaurant guests for money. I know that they wouldn't be doing that, if there weren't people interested in it. I understand that this is their job, but I deeply regret that it looks like that…
Despite the fact that La Boca for tourists is limited to only three streets, there is still too much of that rubbish around. One of the streets, Caminito, which is occupied mainly by painters and drawers, is bearable, because no one is nagging you about anything and they are not trying to force you to buy their stuff. Other streets are less so. There are too many trinket shops. And that disco music. This is all very tiring. After we decided that we wanted to sit somewhere and have a dinner, we ran away, even though there were restaurants all around. We walked slightly further and we went into a small, homely restaurant, where there were locals sitting around and feral dogs wandering about, just like in Praga in Warsaw, but the food was quite good.

"Deer" Friends -
Wild farming continues: I appreciate the calls and e-mails I received
last week in response to my considering having a couple (2) of deer shot
in order to reduce the impact this particular deer family has on our crops.
Several members were strictly op-posed to the notion of shooting the deer,
which led me to reassess the practical alternatives and reflect upon my
own farming philoso-phy. My initial intention was to limit my immediate
economic loss by removing the deer, but your feedback allowed me to step
back for a moment and see the farm as part of the larger surrounding landscape
and not just an isolated enclave. As an organic farmer, I am challenged
to transcend my dualistic mentality of producing as much as possible in
one part of the landscape while trying to preserve as much as possible
in its natural state somewhere else. In order to support and increase
the native biodiversity of the region I have to take farming in harmony
with nature to the next level, which includes all living organisms. So
rest assured I will not shoot the deer, but find ways to coexist. For
the time being, keeping a dog around and putting up a temporary fence
has kept them away. Thanks for all your suggestions, and I will keep you
posted of my success. Meanwhile, you all get to "bear" the deer
burden with me in the form of no lettuce in your shares for a while.

|I wonder what I'm doing wrong but once in a while when I load a picture into the database or in a forum, the picture I'm uploading shows double in one frame, in rare occasions even triple..
I wanted to give an example of a pic of Caladium Kathleen which is waiting in the row to be submitted but I see now that it has corrected itself.. I'm sure though that two of the pics showed double before so I would still like to know when that happens..

Aug 18, 2012 11:29 AM CST
|I wanted to show you an example Dave of the most recent, but as it has corrected itself I cannot, I've had it in Cubits too but cannot remember which pictures they were, I have seen it happen a couple of times too in the Plant ID forum with pictures loaded by other people..
Hopefully someone will come along who has noticed the same happening..

|That's really strange; I've never seen this, at all, nor have I heard anyone else report a similar occurrence. I wonder if it's just your computer doing it....

|I don't know Dave, maybe it is just my computer...it is not really a problem though, I was just curious how it happens...I will report it immediately when it occurs again..

Labor and the Greens are questioning tougher English language tests and changes affecting families and couples under the government's proposed citizenship law revamp.
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton plans to introduce legislation to parliament this week that includes a values test and university-level English language requirements.
The minister will also have the power to overturn citizenship decisions by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, as he can already do on some visa matters.
It's understood the Labor and Greens party rooms extensively discussed the proposed changes, even though the government is yet to show MPs the bill.
The Greens - which voted to oppose the laws - were told some people who had received letters confirming their citizenship ceremony date had also gotten phone calls saying their attendance had been cancelled.
The Labor caucus - which is awaiting the bill before making a final decision - heard the case of a husband who received his citizenship but whose partner was told they would have to wait three years.
Some Labor MPs questioned the difficulty of the English language requirement for applicants and whether the changes would take into account people with disabilities.
Labor citizenship spokesman Tony Burke told reporters he had a briefing on May 8, but few of the later details leaked to the media were covered.
"When I asked what the evidence base was, if I could be provided with the evidence base for the changes, I was told it didn't exist," Mr Burke said in Canberra on Tuesday.
"When I asked, for example on the English language test, how many people who currently apply for citizenship would pass the test, the government didn't know."
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told parliament in a speech on national security he wanted new citizens to be "Australian patriots".
Mr Burke argues if the citizenship changes are about national security "how can it be that it only applies to people who are permanent residents - all of whom are already here"?
The Labor frontbencher said it was no surprise the government wasn't releasing feedback on the draft laws, after he was told there had been 1700 submissions.
"The reason you don't want the submissions public is if you've been humiliated by them," he said.
Greens senator Nick McKim says the proposed changes are politically-motivated.
"This is about Mr Dutton trying to consolidate more power on his desk and ultimately Labor should be staring this down," he said.
But crossbench senator Derryn Hinch said Administrative Appeals Tribunal decisions against the deportation of sex offenders and rapists were a concern.
"I think the idea of overturning the decisions of the AAT is fantastic," he said.
Liberal Democrat David Leyonhjelm welcomes the proposed changes, saying they borrow from his party's policies.

Fellow artists and designers may agree that to dip into your creativity you have to reach your "zones." I have identified two zones that I do my work in. The first zone is that state of mind where I'm oblivious to everything else around me that distracts from my inspiration or my creative thought process. In this zone is where I organize ideas and plan a project. The second zone is mechanical, where ideas are executed. Ideas have already been formulated ... I just have to physically assemble the pieces and pause once in a while to step back and make sure the work is progressing as planned.
For myself, the first zone can't have music. Music is like a crying baby during the planning stages of any project. While I'm taking notes, sketching, or arranging a draft layout, I'm already susceptible to distractions. My environment affects this planning process, and that considered — music would be a catalyst to any influence that I seek to avoid while I'm brainstorming. A pencil, pad of paper and some coffee is all I need to achieve my zone.
The second zone is an entirely different situation ... The music is most welcome, especially when a deadline is looming over my head. I'm producing ... done with the major thinking. I'm the machine, and the music is driving me to the completion of my project. Depending on what I'm working on, I could listen to almost anything from big band, techno, industrial or 80s (no country or rap please). When I'm pressured by deadlines or the project has been a beast, I go harder ... the music turns me into charging rhino. Everything else is great for keeping my pace steady, although I have to be careful with the 80s stuff (I tend to sing aloud). At this stage, I'm not concerned about mistakes ... there will always be mistakes. A designer that's bored working on a monotonous layout will make mistakes. That's what proofs are for ... and sometimes, you make "perfect" mistakes, but that's for another post.
That said, I don't like buds shoved in my ears. At the office, I plug in only for deadlines when I'm so annoyed that the ear buds don't bother me. At my home studio, the gloves are off ...
My preferred "Zone" soundtrack:
- Any 80s pop, "big band" era and even gothic songs are easy to listen to and have fun with while working. I'll work to Cole Porter, Sisters of Mercy and Flock of Seagulls just the same.
- Techno and electro (Switchblade Symphony, Curve and Thrill Kill Kult are favorites) keeps my work going at a constant pace.
- Harder techno and industrial music is reserved for deadlines. Ministry, Frontline Assembly and NiN would just throw me off if I listened to them while not time crunching.
- The only exception to my NO COUNTRY would be Kenny Rogers ... The Gambler and Lucille are just too catchy. I'm not kidding.

Its forbidding exterior belies an inner paradise where a beautiful fusion of Mughal and Hindu styles finds its ultimate expression. At the foot of the hill you will mount your caparisoned elephant for the slow but steady climb up to the main gate, making your entrance in the time honoured fashion. The Fort, completed in the early 18th century, took over 100 years to build and now, although deserted, offers a fascinating insight into the lifestyle of the Moghul ruling families.

Post these visits, you would be heading to the airport to board the next flight to Varanasi. As you will arrive, on arrival transfer to hotel. If you wish, you can go for a walk in the surroundings, or otherwise, relax in your room. Overnight stay at hotel.
