Trip DetailsSo hopefully by now, you've read enough about us to know that we're a cycling team that rode across Canada in the summer of 2013. Many of our friends and family had questions about us and our trip, so we thought that those who hadn't heard from us, and those who would have only ever seen us online should get all their questions answered here on our website. Some of those answers are in our FAQs page, but other information can be found below...
When we were planning this trip, we realized a few things. One was that this was not an easy undertaking, riding across Canada. There were a lot of logistics involved in a trip like this, from food and sleeping arrangements, to fundraising, to packing the proper gear for various situations and making sure we actually had all the gear we need.
When it came to food, we basically just ate a lot...more, and followed it up with...more food. Seriously though. We didn't follow any kind of strict diet; but we did eat a lot of certain things. Most mornings we had eggs, toast, bacon and juice; while during the day we ate fruit, sandwiches, granola bars and drank water and gatorade. Dinners were a variety of things, because we stayed at a lot of people's houses or churches, so we ate everything from spaghetti, to corn on the cob and burgers, to steaks, potatoes, and veggies. We often had dessert to finish off our dinners too.
For our accommodations, we quite often stayed with friends, friends of friends, or family; called churches in a few places, camped, and used the website warmshowers.org.
For our equipment, we made detailed lists of what exactly we'd need, and then borrowed or bought what we needed. To carry our equipment, we had a Support Van for this trip, so the Riders didn't have to carry very much and so that they had on-the-road support and supplies available at any time. Thanks to Dave & Luke's parents, Murray & Katie Lewis, for letting us borrow their Dodge Caravan for the trip. We ended up putting about 17,000 km on it!
To meet our fundraising goal of $25,000, we asked our supporters (friends, family, and anyone we met along the way) to Donate to Ratanak International. We raised over $12,000 before we left home, collected a bunch of donations along the way, and had a lot of our own funds leftover. In the end, we raised $38,905.51, which is amazing! Praise God for how He worked through our efforts and through the generosity of all of our supporters! Thank you!

Nigella Lawson remains one of the most popular authors in the
EYB Library. NPR's Steve Inskeep recently talked with Nigella about
her latest cookbook, Simply Nigella: Feel Good Food, which
explores the breadth of food you can serve in a bowl.
Noting that "bowl food" sounds a bit
similar to "soul food", Nigella explains that it has a similar
connotation, that of food that bolsters you. She goes to on say
that while some people associated comfort food with bland flavors,
she goes in the opposite direction: "You know, I do want flavor. I
want it to be punctuated by heat. I like fire. I like tanginess.
But most of all, I do like the feeling of eating when every spoon
or forkful is reassuring me the same as the last. And for me, that
is one of the most wonderful ways to eat. "
Nigella also discusses the versatility of
eating from a bowl, as the shape lends itself to everything from
soups to salads. She describes some of the different recipes in the
book, including the split pea soup, which is often considered to be
quite bland. This is partly due to the inherent qualities of the
legume, she says, "because split peas are almost - they've got a
way of blanketing spices, you do have to be a bit more full
throttle. And you can spice them quite firmly, and it won't be
frightening. It won't be blow your head off time." Listen to the
entire interview on the NPR website.

Anti aging products are everywhere. Getting rid of all of those lines and wrinkles is an everyday battle as you get older, but you don't need to think about that just yet, right? Most people assume that you don't need to think about anti aging until you're older, but that might not necessarily be the case. Getting in early could massively improve the results a few years down the line. After all, offence is the best form of defence. Actively fighting the signs of aging before they've even started to appear is the key to looking younger for longer. So, when exactly should you start your anti aging regime.
Anti Aging Products
When you're in your 20's and 30's, you should be starting on anti aging products already. There are some cheap products out there but the truth is, they don't really do anything. What you should be looking for are creams that contain Retinol, the most effective anti-aging ingredient. When you're in your mid 20's, start looking into ranking and reviews of the best Retinol creams and find the ones that work best for your skin. While you might not have loads of visible lines yet, using decent anti aging creams will help you to stop them from appearing in the first place.
Botox is also a pretty useful product. Most people are a bit scared of botox because they picture people with huge, oversized lips, but that's not the reality of what botox is. Of course, some people go overboard and the results aren't great, but if you use it right, it can help you to fight the signs of aging. Small amounts of botox will stop lines and wrinkles from appearing in the first place. Lip enhancements can also be done with botox, but just make sure that you don't go overboard on it, otherwise, it looks unnatural. When you decide to start using botox, be aware that you will have to keep up with treatments so think about whether you want to use it long term or not.
Skin Routine
While anti aging products are great for getting rid of those signs of aging once they start popping up, there's no better way to get beautiful skin than to take proper care of it from a young age. Having a good skin routine in place is vital if you want to stay looking young. When it comes to skin care products, a lot of the expensive ones are not actually that much better. It's just a lot of meaningless marketing jargon and the actual cream inside the bottle isn't all that different to the cheaper alternatives. It's much better to look at the ingredients rather than the rest of the packaging. Look out for vitamin C, glycolic acid, and peptides. These are the main ingredients that help with maintaining your skin so look past the flashy advertising to what exactly is in your creams.
Don't fall into the trap of waiting until your skin is already looking tired before you try to rectify it. It'll be too late by then.

Cluny Eye Candy
This is Elisa's pattern tatted by Mimi Dillman in one of my size 20 Rubi hand dyed tatting threads, "Berry Surprise". Mimi gave me permission to share it with you all, for which I am thankful since I don't have any tatting of my own to share.
If you click on Elisa's name it will take you to this pattern and you can see other examples of Elisa's beautiful work with clunies.
Just in case you didn't know, Mimi (world renown Queen of Clunies) will be teaching her class on beginner clunies at Shuttlebirds in April this year. She is an excellent teacher, in fact she taught me how to make clunies. So if you want to learn this fun and awesome technique may I suggest you sign up for Shuttlebirds in April? Her class alone is well worth the trip! Mark your calendars because you can register for classes on Jan 10th (only a few more days) and class sizes are limited!
....oh and have I mentioned that "Yours Truly" will also be teaching classes this year? "Branching Encapsulation" and a "Multi shuttle tatting" project. So you can come see what a big dork I am in person....LOL!

LOvely work. That was nice of Elisa to share her photo! I love Mimi's photo page online on how to do clunies! My clunies really improved after I studied her online photo lesson on clunies. I need to find my cluny work and post pics...for some reason I can't seem to find them right now, nor can I find my Mary Konior book...hmmmmm...

Don't think of yourself as a dork, think of yourself as the thread & tatting goddess that you are.
And you're right, Mimi is fabulous. I was lucky enough to take her class when she came to Palmetto's. Oh, when you see her, say "That's very nice" in as thick a Southern accent as you can manage. I told her a joke with that punchline & I wonder if she remembers.

That is so pretty. I love cluny leaves. I have one or two pieces with cluny leaves. But I must admit I cannot remember how to do them now. I need to learn it again. I will try to find those pieces this weekend and photograph them. Glad you're feeling better, Sherry! Are you getting excited about teaching your class?

i think i love pyschiatry!
as it has, so often, i'm falling in love with my rotation.
i'm pretty certain that i don't want to be a psychiatrist in the future, but in the meantime i do love my tutors at my current hospital to bits.
we've had so much fun despite it being JCI acredition week (which means we're kept out of wards and clinics in a bid to improve said hospital's chances of being JCI acredited so we won't screw up in front of the auditing big shots), it's meant half days, long lunches and lots of laughter as the doctors feel bad for us and give us long but super interesting tutorials.
i've never laughed so much in my life!
we've acted all types of patients, from the usual depressed/schizophrenic to the adjustment disorders/OCD/ hypochondriacs. i adore the tutors, they manage to make a 3 hour tutorial on alcohol dependence super interesting. i haven't fallen asleep once yet and that's without coffee! (granted, i'm drinking tea now in a bid to cut down my unhealthy amount of caffeine, but still!)
my favourite doctor so far has been the one who's encouraged us to act, who tells us funny anecdotes about his past patients, who's always approachable with a ready smile, who realises that most of us won't become psychiatrists but still tries his darndest to make us fall in love with psychiatry anyway, against all odds :)
he's even counselled my groupmate for free (she's got a chronic adjustment disorder and is currently depressed) and has been sensitive to her moods, asking whether she's alright enough to participate in the acting sessions.
when we finished our tutorial, i turned to another groupmate and said: i sure as hell hope he's married, cos if he isn't married, i'm sure he's gay! (my point being all the good men in the world are married or gay. hehe i'm just joking)
psych has really been so much fun! i've never looked forward to going to hospital so much in my life, and never with such a smile. :)
only thing is, we haven't once been in the wards or clinics, i'm not very sure if i'll like it then - this hospital is famous for nurses hating medical students. urlp.
but so far, it's been a blast! :)
and Shrink, i do imagine that you're like my favourite tutor! :)

My friend, Nathalie, recently suggested I show how to cut onions, peppers, celery, etc. She said she wasn't always sure of the best way to do it. So that will be today's post, the easiest way to chop and dice.
Before we get cooking, let me remind you of a few safety tips (Mom moment).
*Wash your hands before you start! I know, I know, but it's worth a reminder.
*Then, make sure you wash your produce. Give everything a good rinse. If you will be eating the peelings, scrub them with a vegetable brush (which you can pick up at the dollar store on the cheap).
*When you are cutting, curl your fingertips under a little bit on the hand you're using to hold the produce. This will help keep your fingers safe from cuts.
*A sharp knife is your best friend in the kitchen. A dull knife can lead to accidents!
Also, let me say, I did not go to culinary school. I'm not a chef, I'm a cook. This may not be the " proper" way but it works for me, and hopefully for you too.
(Do you know the difference between a chef and a cook? A cook has to do her own dishes. Haha!)
OK, let's get started.
First, I cut off the ends, just a little off each side.
Then, I cut it in half and peel the skins off.
Next, lay the onion cut-side down (this keeps it from rolling around). Carefully slice it almost all the way through the middle, like this:
Then, cut from the top down several times across, like this:
Finally, cut from the top down in the opposite direction, like this:
This should result in perfect squares of onions.
This is a chop. When you see "chopped onion" in a recipe, this is the size you want.
If you need "diced onion", that's just smaller pieces. All you do to make the pieces smaller is to slice through the onion twice, like this:
Then make your cuts closer together, like this:
This will yield smaller pieces, giving you diced onions.
The pile on the left is chopped, the pile on the right is diced.
Lay the stalk on your cutting board and trim off the bottom. No need to trim the top, the leaves have a ton of flavor! But, if you want uniform pieces, you can.
Once trimmed, cut the stalk into manageable pieces.
Then, cut into strips.
Line up the strips in a row and cut them in the opposite direction to yield the size you want. Cuts closer together for smaller pieces, farther apart for larger pieces.
Bell Pepper
There are many ways to cut a bell pepper. It depends on what you're going to do with it. If you want to stuff the pepper, just cut the very top off, like this:
Then scoop out the seeds and the ribs.
This is what you use to make stuffed bell peppers. It also makes a great "bowl" to fill with dip for a party. I like to fill them with ranch dip and sit them in the middle of a vegetable tray.
If you want slices to use on a vegetable tray or for fajitas, carefully cut from the top down the side to the bottom. This will take off the entire "cheek".
Do this on all sides then take each cheek, lay it down shiny side down (the inside of the pepper should face up because it's easier to cut that way). Then, slice each cheek into strips.
If you want chopped peppers, follow the steps for slices. Then line up the slices and cut them into squares, like this:
For diced, just cut the slices thinner and the squares smaller. Easy.
First, let me give you a few definitions. A clove of garlic is a single piece (shown on the right). A head of garlic is the entire pod (on the left). Sometimes that can be confusing.
There are all kinds of gadgets out there to peel and chop garlic. They are cool, but you don't need them. The easiest way to peel garlic is to whack it with a can (or a pot, or a coffee cup). Just place the garlic on your cutting board, then gently hit it. This will loosen the skin, making it easy to peel.
Once it's peeled, you just cut it into strips, then cut it in the opposite direction.
That's chopped garlic. To mince it, just continue to run your knife over it, back and forth, in opposite directions until you get it as small as you want it. (You may need to wipe it off your knife if it sticks to the blade. Be very careful!)
So, there you go. Easy, step by step directions you can follow until you get the hang of it.
I remember when I first started cooking. It wasn't pretty. I could barely follow a recipe in a cook book. Now I have a blog where I share recipes that I've created. It doesn't matter how you start out, it only matters where you end up. Happy cooking!

Swami Vivekananda Quotes About PerfectionQuotes about: Perfection
It is too often believed that a person in his progress towards perfection passes from error to truth; that when he passes on from one thought to another, he must necessarily reject the first. But no error can lead to truth. The soul passing through its different stages goes from truth to truth, and each stage is true; it goes from lower truth to higher truth.
Renounce and give up. What did Christ say? "He that loseth his life for my sake shall find it." Again and again did he preach renunciation as the only way to perfection. There comes a time when the mind awakes from this long and dreary dream-the child gives up its play and wants to go back to its mother. Renunciation is not asceticism. Are all beggars Christ? Poverty is not a synonym for holiness; often the reverse.
There cannot be two almighty beings in this world. [Imagine having] two or three Gods; one will create the world, another says, "I will destroy the world." It [can] never happen. There must be one God. The soul attains to perfection; [it becomes] almost omnipotent [and] omniscient. This is the worshipper. Who is the worshipped? He, the Lord God Himself, the Omnipresent, the Omniscient, and so on. And above all, He is Love. How is [the soul] to attain this perfection? By worship.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and everything shall be added unto you. This is the one great duty, this is renunciation. Live for an ideal, and leave no place in the mind for anything else. Let us put forth all our energies to acquire that which never fails-our spiritual perfection. If we have true yearning for realization, we must struggle, and through struggle growth will come. We shall make mistakes, but they may be angels unawares.
Well has it been said that man is the only animal that naturally looks upwards; every other animal naturally looks down. That looking upward and going upward and seeking perfection are what is called salvation; and the sooner a man begins to go higher, the sooner he raises himself towards this idea of truth as salvation.
I am really not "cyclonic" at all. Far from it. What I want is not here, nor can I longer bear this "cyclonic" atmosphere. This is the way to perfection, to strive to be perfect, and to strive to make perfect a few men and women. My idea of doing good is this: to evolve out a few giants, and not to strew pearls before swine, and so lose time, health, and energy.
Patanjali, declares that the true secret of evolution is the manifestation of the perfection which is already in every being; that this perfection has been barred and the infinite tide behind is struggling to express itself. These struggles and competitions are but the results of our ignorance, because we do not know the proper way to unlock the gate and let the water in. This infinite tide behind must express itself; it is the cause of all manifestation.
A perfect life is a contradiction in terms. Life itself is a state of continuous struggle between ourselves and everything outside. Every moment we are fighting actually with external nature, and if we are defeated, our life has to go. It is, for instance, a continuous struggle for food and air. If food or air fails, we die. Life is not a simple and smoothly flowing thing, but it is a compound effect. This complex struggle between something inside and the external world is what we call life. So it is clear that when this struggle ceases, there will be an end of life.

1. the air conditioner should not be used instead of the dehumidifier
Many users will ask, "can't air conditioners dehumidification? With air conditioning, is the dehumidifier redundant? In fact, this is
A misunderstanding of consumption, the main function of the air conditioner is refrigeration and heating, and the air conditioner with independent dehumidification function can dehumidification, but it has small dehumidification and dehumidification.
Slow; and in the southern region of the plum rainy season, the temperature is low, most of the time is below 20 degrees, when the air-conditioner dehumidification blows out the cold.
Wind, the more cold it is, the more uncomfortable it is for people. In addition, because the air conditioner is fixed, it can only dehumidification and heavier in a small area.
We need to increase the load by several times when the air is withered, and not only consume a lot of electricity, but also damage the compressor and shorten the life of the machine. Therefore,
The air conditioner should not be used instead of the dehumidifier.
The principle and use of the 2. dehumidifier
The dehumidifier is composed of a compressor, a heat exchanger, a fan, a water heater, a case and a controller, and its working principle is that the fan draws moist air.
Through the heat exchanger, the water in the air can be condensed into water droplets and become a dry air exhausting machine. Such a cycle will make indoor humidity.
Lower. Therefore, dehumidifiers are widely used in offices, archives, materials, libraries, computer rooms, precise instrument room, hospitals and valuables warehouses.
Place, make the electronic products, optical instruments, precision equipment and valuables to avoid damp, mildew of bad luck.
In recent years, with the continuous improvement of people's living standard and the renewal of people's consumption concept, dehumidifier has gradually entered the family and become a lot of families.
An indispensable member of it. Especially in the rainy season, they become the protection gods of high-grade clothing, leather and high-end household appliances, and become rheumatism and respiratory system.
Patients with other diseases and health care workers of the elderly, maternity and infants can create a good environment for all users who need proper humidity.
3. house area set dehumidifier reference
The general building (room height is 2.3 meters, doors and windows shut down the normal ground buildings), the room area set the dehumidifier reference: dehumidification.
The area is 20 liters / day, the area is 20 square meters to 30 square meters, the area of dehumidification is 30 liters / day, the area is 30 square meters to 40 square meters, and the amount of dehumidification is about.
The area of 50 liters / days is 50 square meters to 70 square meters, and the area of dehumidification is 80 l / D, the suitable area is 80 square meters - 100 square meters, and the dehumidification amount is 100.
The application area is 100 square meters to 150 square meters.
Note: for families and offices with relatively low relative humidity, a 20 liter / day to 30 liters / day dehumidifier is generally available, and can be used to remove rooms in turn.
Wet; for the valuable places with relatively high dehumidification requirements, the corresponding number of machines should be fixed.

Are you too old for Halloween?
By S. Derrickson Moore
What are you going to be this year?
Like most Baby Boomers, I once thought that I'd heard that Halloween query for the last time sometime back in the Jurassic Age — or the 1960s, which is roughly the same time period to some of the whippersnappers whose conversations I caught while visiting local costume shops for today's SunLife story.
"There are all these old people in here. Why are they doing anything with Halloween costumes?" muttered a shopper who appeared to be in her late teens.
Though I'm not of the fan of ageism that may have motivated her protests, my natural inclination is to agree with her.
In fact, back in the day, she and her companion would also have been considered way too old to get involved in Halloween activities.
Maybe we were in too much of a hurry to grow up, but we Protest Generation kids were ready, maybe even eager, to abandon all the Halloween accoutrements — costumes, parties and trick-or-treating — long before high school. In fact, if we hit the streets beyond grades 6 or 7, it was probably because our parents ordered us to babysit our younger siblings on their candy quests.
I can't recall any major Halloween festivities in high school or college. And the few adult costume occasions my contemporaries got involved in had nothing to do with Halloween. I remember concocting outfits for spring croquet tournaments, Octoberfests, medieval feasts and summer Renaissance festivals. Every now and again, there would be some ambitious adults who would transform a front yard into a Halloween attraction and maybe dress up in matching costumes to delight trick-or-treating kids.
But when did the big kids and adults take over Halloween itself?
Tour any costume emporium and it will be pretty obvious that at least half, and sometimes a lot more, of the Halloween acreage is not devoted to kids' attire.
Some of it is very adult — you'll find everything you need for sexy, or even stripper-caliber, incarnations of school girls, policewomen, bombshell Wizard of Oz characters and more. What isn't aimed at titillation often has scatological or double entendre appeal that even today's savvy tots would not likely understand.
Then there's the gore. In the olden days, a few decades ago, most of it would have been seen as too frightening for tots or grade-schoolers. After a generation or two of hard-core horror and video games, the fear factor seems to have evolved into something else.
Various gory special effects at a local store that delighted a little girl elicited jump-caliber shock for her mom, and me, as I passed by.
It's probably too late to put the living dead and vampires back in their crypts. But I still have wistful moments when I wish crowds at my door on Oct. 31 would be composed of pretty little princesses, teensy superheroes and cuddly animal costumes.
There will still be some of those, I'd guess, but we'll also be seeing a lot of teens and parents, all in costume.
Carolyn Dye, who owns La Vieja in Mesilla, which stocks Borderland and historic costumes, thinks the Halloween celebrants may be trending downward in age again. The economy and crackdowns on drunk driving, she opined, have curtailed some of the wilder adult Halloween celebrations.
Maybe so. I don't want to discourage anyone from creative self-expression. And it may be healthy to live out some, if not all, of our fantasies and experiment with new personalities.
Still, it would be nice to let the kids have their day and be its focus.
And luckily, since we live in Las Cruces, there will be many other opportunities to dress up and celebrate cultures living and dead. Días de los Muertos and the Renaissance ArtsFaire are right around the corner, the first weekend in November.
Choose your outfits. And bring the kids for an encore.

You can read Part 1 of this series here.
February rolls along, and I'll admit. I was a little embarrassed, because I think we were the only couple in our group who didn't have that sacred $1000.00 emergency fund (EF). Other couples had cut up their credit cards, but the only credit card we had was a twice-used (several years prior) Best Buy card with a long-standing zero balance on it. I cut it up, anyway. After all, why keep it if I never even used it? Couples had cut out or cut back their cable. We're bare-bones on cable, anyway. It's like we'd trimmed all we could, but we still didn't have much, if any, to put towards our EF.
Around mid-February, I sat down with stacks of papers and forms and my trusty laptop and filed our income taxes. And OMGosh!!! I was about to hyperventilate when I saw our refund amount. My husband looked at me hopefully and asked, "Is it enough to go to Universal?" I smiled and said, "We could go on a very NICE trip to Universal. And we will – after we clear our debts and save up for it." (Yeah, I'm a little evil like that.)
We had found out by this point in the class that there are two types of people in this world. There are Nerds, and there are Free Spirits. Layered onto that, there are Spenders and there are Savers. The strongest relationships will have one of each. In our household, I'm the Nerd Saver (you can just as easily have a Nerd Spender). Give me the money, give me the savings, give me the special accounts and I'll let that money sit and grow and do great things for us. When I have a goal in mind, I'll sacrifice some fun to meet that goal. My husband, on the other hand, is the Free Spirit Spender. Don't feel like cooking? "Hello? Domino's."
So, when Peter found out what our refund was going to be, he was seeing himself at Hogsworth down in Orlando. I was seeing us having the long-awaited EF and paying down some debts. We had some small medical debts, a slightly larger ($1300) medical debt, credit card debts totaling around $3500 and a personal debt of $7500. So, just over $12,000. Yet, we'd heard stories of debts ranging in the tens of thousands, and we personally know of someone who was working down $300,000 in debt, so that amount, big as it was, seemed entirely doable as long as we had a plan.
My birthday is in late February, and all I wanted for my birthday was to pay off my credit card debt, and I believed it was going to happen. My credit card company had been calling and calling, but I couldn't pay them a dime, because we were still struggling to pay for our "four walls." So, they would call asking why I hadn't paid them, and I'd very calmly say, "I'm sorry, but you fell below the line." The credit agent would be giving me an incredulous, "I'm WHAT???" while Peter and our older daughter would be piled in the office doorway busting their butts laughing. (In FPU, we learned that paying for the "four walls" must come before paying down debts, and when you run out of your allocated money, then you don't spend anymore on whatever falls below that line.)
The morning of my birthday, I checked our accounts, and there it was. A very large deposit had shown up that morning. I immediately texted my husband, transferred $1000.00 into savings (woohoo!!! Emergency fund at last!), then called my credit card company. Oh, what fun!!! I'd set up a payment arrangement for March, just to get them off my back. The conversation went something like this:
"Thank you for calling *****. Can I please have the last 4 digits of the account holder's social?"
I gave her that, verified my name and address, answered the security questions and then…
"Thank you. How may I assist you today?"
"I'd set up a payment for 10 March for $165, and I need to cancel that. I won't be able to pay it."
"OK. Do you mind if I ask what's preventing you from making that payment?"
"Because I'm going to pay off the entire balance today."
[Pregnant pause.] "Oh. I see. Well, I guess that's good for you." I swear, she sounded like she was going to cry. I guess if my company was looking at a loss of money, I'd probably feel a little down, too.
I paid it off, paid off some of those medical debts and a few other things. I burned through over $4000.00 just like that. Finally Peter said, "Stop! I want to see some of this money before you spend it all!"
In under two weeks, our emergency fund was 70% gone. Ticked. Me. Off.
Stay tuned…

I've been busy organising things for this years RWA conference in August.
It's in Adelaide, at the Stamford Grand Hotel in Glenelg, and the theme of the fancy dress cocktail party on the Friday night is 'Love is a Cabaret.' I've been searching for an outfit, so hopefully I'll decide on one soon. There's a fine line between Flapper costumes and Cabaret costumes.
It's an exciting time of year and this year I'll be away in August, then September to Uluru, and October I'm heading to Broome and then along the coast line of WA. I have a brother in Perth, and one who lives near Margaret River so I'm eager to catch up with them also.
I'm going to pitch at the conference and haven't as yet decided whom to pitch to. It will happen as I have to book in, but not sure of the deadline.
So if your'e attending get those costumes out, and perfect that pitch. It's going to be exciting. I'm looking forward to catching up with authors, readers, and editors. See you there. :)

Brisbane Hand & Upper Limb
Pyrocarbon small joint arthroplasty of the extremities
Ross M, James C, Klawitter J, Couzens G.
Chapter 19 in "Joint Replacement Technology – 2nd Edition". Edited by Peter Revell. Woodhead Publishing Series in Biomaterials: Number 80. Elsevier Publishing 2014; 628-673.
The primary goal in performing prosthetic arthroplasty in the small joints of the extremities remains pain relief; however, there is increasing interest in maximizing return of motion at the same time. During the past four decades, pyrolytic carbon (PyC) has been used successfully as a material for fabricating small joint implants for arthroplasty with purported benefits compared to other materials. In addition to total joint arthroplasty using PyC, successful hemi-arthroplasty has also been achieved in a variety of anatomic applications, including the metacarpal phalangeal (MCP) joint, proximal interphalangeal joint, carpometacarpal (CMC) joint, radio-capitellar joint, and gleno-humeral joint. It has also been used in non-anatomic interpositional arthroplasties in the upper limb in CMC joint, wrist, and in the first metatarsal phalangeal joint of the foot.
The Institute enables collaboration between Researchers and Upper Limb Orthopaedic Surgeons.
The Brisbane Hand and Upper Limb Research Institute was established in 2010 to facilitate and coordinate upper limb clinical and basic science research across the private and public sector in Brisbane, Queensland Australia.

I got the cuetec graphite b/j cue and tried jumping the ball but i can't
get it to jump. i have tried several angles. Are the balls to greasy? bad
table or what? hope you can answer my question.
bobafetus on August 12, 2011 at 8:47 pm
The turtleneck allows for better jumping of the cue.
TheStinkNasty on October 4, 2011 at 2:42 am
lol, that cue is ruhtaaaded
schneeaddict on January 31, 2012 at 8:32 am
@ceebeer dirtier balls might make it more difficult, I'm not positive as I
haven't dealt a lot with really dirty balls, but it would make sense to me.
One thing I've noticed with people I teach is that they don't drive through
the cue ball. If you watch his shot closely you'll see that he follows
through on his shot. A lot of beginners will just jab at the cue ball.
Also, if the cue ball just rockets forward without leaving the table,
you're probably hitting too high on the ball.

omg i want to see you break with the Stealth
TheEnneagram on July 4, 2012 at 8:11 am
This is not the real Leap Frog shot, not even close. In the Leap Frog, the
cue first jumps over an object ball. Next, at the bottom of its arc, it
strikes another object ball. The third ball then jumps over a fourth ball
— voila! For example: line up the cue ball, then 4, then 1, then 2, then 3
and then 9. The object is to jump the 4, hit the 1 into the 3 and pocket
the 9 in a combination shot … without touching the even numbered balls.
THAT is the Leap Frog. Get it?
WCGwkf on July 11, 2012 at 10:55 am
the way that i jump the ball is hitting right between the ball and the
table to pop it up. should i not be doing that?
Aze Gallo on July 13, 2012 at 3:42 am
no. that's referred to as "scooping" the ball. tip of the cue is hitting
the table first and lifting the ball from under – it's not a legal stroke
and it's horrible for the cloth.
WOLF LAUGHTER on July 31, 2012 at 1:11 am
Nice stick bro ^_^

5. Comets – Three comets can become just bright to be seen in dark skies on February 11, May 15, and June 15, especially when seen through binoculars.
· Satellites
International Space Station (ISS) and other visible satellites many times during the year.
Saturn tilt picture from:
Four eclipses will occur during this year, with three of them visible from Tanzania. The first eclipse this year is a penumbral eclipse on midnight of February 10 to 11 from 1:34 am to 5:53 am. It will give us a similar challenge to the one we had last year on September 16. On February 26 from 6:32 pm to sunset 7:08 pm viewers in southern Tanzania will see a partial solar eclipse, though it will not be as spectacular as last year's annular solar eclipse. The third eclipse is the Partial Lunar Eclipse of August 7 from 8:33 pm to 10:18 pm during which, a small part of the Moon will be covered by the Earth's shadow. The last eclipse, a Total Solar Eclipse of August 21 will not be visible in Tanzania since it takes place across the whole of the USA. If you can visit there during the eclipse do not miss out on this spectacular event.
For planet viewing, the year started with a close alignment of three bright objects, Crescent Moon, Venus, and Mars, prominently, for several days near the western horizon. The Moon-Venus-Mars triplet group is together again on January 31st and the line-up continues after that until February 3.
Again, at the end of February on the 28th, the triplet is together again though not so close together near the west horizon soon after sunset.
The Venus and Mars pair remains visible together in the evening sky for the whole of February with the pair shifting slightly rightwards over the days.
Venus is a spectacularly bright planet, now shining as an evening star. After reaching its highest elevation of 45 degrees in the sky above the western horizon, it has now entered the crescent phase and is visible as a broad crescent through a telescope. The crescent will grow thinner as well as more than double in size as the planet gets closer to Earth until mid-March, after which it will be hidden by the setting Sun. After this, Venus will enter the sky as a morning star, reaching its highest elevation above the eastern horizon in mid-May. It will remain visible before sunrise until mid-December. On November 17, Venus will form a triplet with a crescent Moon joined by bright Jupiter joining brilliant Venus to provide an attractive spectacle. After this, it will again enter the evening skies as an evening star from the beginning of February 2018. All during the year, Venus will provide many attractive views with the crescent Moon in the western sky at sunset or in the eastern sky at sunrise. Visit www.AstronomyinTanzaia.or.tz for individual events of Venus and other planets and stars during the year.
Mars is now seen as a red star with the steady shine of a planet compared to a star which twinkles. It is currently visible from soon after sunset, seen close to brilliant Venus half way up the western sky. It remains visible until mid-June when it will be too close to the sunset Sun. Then, from the end of August it will be seen in the morning sky above the eastern horizon, rising gradually. By the beginning of December, Mars will line up with Venus, Jupiter, Mars, crescent Moon, and star Spica from the beginning of December to mid-December. Mars will also provide other interesting events during the year.
Mercury is an elusive planet not easy to detect since it always remains close to the Sun; it has to be caught when it is highest in the sky. This happens twice in the western sky at sunset on April 1 and July 30, and twice in the eastern sky at sunrise on May 17 and September 12. The highest elevations of 27 degrees on May 17 and July 30 are the best times to look out for Mercury in the sky. At other times, when it is close to crescent Moon or Venus, it can also be found at the Astronomy in Tanzania website.
Jupiter, the largest planet is also extremely bright and can be mistaken for Venus but they can be differentiated by noting that Venus is always seen near the Sun just after sunset or before sunrise. Venus can never be seen in overhead skies, while Jupiter can be. Currently, Jupiter is high overhead in the morning sky and will start to be seen rising in the east at late evening hours from the end of February. By April 7 Jupiter will rise in the east at sunset while the Sun is setting in the west. This means that the fully-lit face of Jupiter shines with light from the Sun. This situation on April 7 is called opposition and the planet is most brilliant. Jupiter will then be seen higher and higher in the east at sunset as it shifts slowly westwards. It will be lost in the sunset Sun from mid-October when it will be closest to the Sun on October 26, a phenomenon called conjunction. After this, from mid-November it will be seen in the morning sky close to the eastern horizon at sunrise. Jupiter will show many memorable events during the year as it comes close to the Moon, planets, and bright stars. See www.AstronomyinTanania.or.tz for details of dates, times and positions. Through a modest telescope, Jupiter shows parallel belts of clouds and four moons that change positions day by day and even hour by hour; at times the moons are hidden behind the planet and at other times the moons' shadows can be detected on the face of the planet through a good telescope.
Saturn, the ringed planet is also clearly visible in the sky, shining with a steady light. Though not very bright, it is the most beautiful object to view through a telescope that shows the flat ring system. This year the rings are seen particularly well since they are inclined at a maximum angle facing us. Currently, Saturn is, in the morning, half way up the eastern sky. Saturn will begin to be seen in late evening hours rising in the evening from May onwards. It will reach opposition and be brightest on June 15 when it will rise in the east at sunset, while the Sun is setting in the west. At opposition we see the full face of the planet shining directly from light reflected from the Sun. Saturn will shift westwards during the following months, visible higher and higher in the eastern sky. By September it will be in the western sky and will end the year coming close to and disappearing behind the setting Sun in the west by the beginning of December. Once again it will provide many memorable events throughout the year when it is seen close to the Moon and various planets and these can be followed on www.AstronomyinTanzania.or.tz.
The Sun shows its apparent motion throughout the year, moving 23.5 degrees north and south of the equator. It will be at the equator on March 20 and on September 22. These are called the equinoxes, since the length of day and night are equal on those dates, because the equator is directly along the plane of the solar system; so the Sun shines symmetrically on Earth. Due to the inclination of the Earth's rotation axis that is inclined to the solar plane by 23.5 degrees, the Sun shines vertically on a latitude 23.5 degrees north (Tropic of Cancer) on June 21. This is called the northern solstice, when it is hot in the north and cold in the south. Similarly, the Sun shines vertically at latitude 23.5 degrees south (Tropic of Capricorn) on December 21 causing the hot season in the south and cold in the north. Days are longer than nights in the north from March 20 to September 22, while in the south, nights are longer than days. The opposite happens between September 22 and March 20.
The Moon changes its phase (shape) from New Moon to half Moon to Full Moon to half Moon and back again to New Moon in each lunar cycle during the year. The first half Moon phase is called the First Quarter, while the second half Moon phase is called the Last Quarter, since they mark quarters of the lunar cycle. New Moons will be on January 28, February 26, March 28, April 26, May 25, June 24, July 23, August 21, September 20, October 19, November 18, and December 18. Full Moons will be on January 12, February 11, March 12, April 11, May 11, June 09, July 09, August 07, September 06, October 05, November 04, and December 03. The First Quarter and Last Quarter half Moons will occur between the respective New Moon and Full Moon days. See detailed times here.
Public holidays that depend on the lunar cycles will also be decided on the basis of New Moon dates since the Moon is first sighted one or two days after the New Moon, depending on the elevation of the Moon above the setting Sun in the western horizon. Hence, the Idd ul Fitr dates can be expected to be on June 25 or June 26. Idd ul Hajj can be expected to be on September 1 or September 2, and Maulid can be on December 1 or December 2.
Among the nine regular meteor showers that strike earth during the year two of these can be most suitable to watch for our location near the equator and south are on few days before and after May 6 (Eta Aquarids) and December 14 (Geminid). The best time to see meteor showers is after midnight and close to sunrise. At this time, the Earth's revolution around the Sun faces and hits the dust particles left behind by comets. This causes the dust particles to strike the atmosphere and burn up to cause shooting stars called meteors. The Moon should also be below the horizon to have a good chance of seeing meteors. Lie flat on the ground on a mat and look comfortably at the region of the sky from which the dust strikes the atmosphere. For more details of directions and times see Astronomy in Tanzania website.
Comets become active when they come near the Sun from deep space in highly elliptical paths. The Sun evaporates the frozen water and releases dust, causing a bright blob. The dust is pushed away by the sunlight which produces a tail that faces away from the Sun. Three comets can become just bright enough to be seen in dark skies on February 11 (comet 45P/Honda), May 15 (comet C/2015 ER61 PanSTARRS) and June 15 (comet C/2015 V2 Johnson), especially when seen through binoculars. For details of positions and times and tips to view the comets visit the Astronomy in Tanzania website.
The Moon hides (occults) stars when it passes in front of stars so that our line of sight is blocked and we cannot see the star for a short time. The star is eclipsed by the Moon. Three interesting occultations by the Moon occur this year on February 12 (star ZC1547 hidden), March 14 (stars X54027 and ZC1821 are hidden) and May 31 when star ZC1487 is hidden. On www.AstronomyinTanzania.or.tz you can find the exact times and positons for viewing the occultations.
Satellites make an extremely good hobby to watch. If you watch carefully and scan the overhead skies soon after sunset once it is dark enough and sky is clear; you will often see one or two points of stars moving quite visibly against the background stars. These are satellites and they are seen because light from the Sun can reach high above us where the satellites orbit, and they reflect the sunlight. Some satellites are bright while others shine on and off as their surfaces come to be at the right angles to reflect sunlight towards us. The brightest of these satellites is the International Space Station (ISS) which orbits at a height of about 400 kilometres above the Earth's surface. It shines as bright as a plane and even Venus but glides slowly across the sky. Other prominent satellites are the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Iridium flares. The times and positions of viewing the satellites depends on your location and if you know your coordinates you can use websites on the Internet to find the exact times and directions of the satellites. Visit www.heavens-above.com for detailed information about all satellites and their viewing times and directions. For the ISS, which is the brightest satellite and really worth following and showing to your friends, you can use the Spot the Station NASA website which you can get from Google and follow the instruction on the NASA website after selecting the location nearest to you from Dar esSalaam or Mwanza. Visit www.AstronomyinTanzania.or.tz for regular details about when and where to see satellites stars, planets, and all other astronomy events.
Have a most happy astronomical viewing during this year 2017.

Any time I'm faced with a stumbling block I try to turn it on its head and see it from the opposite viewpoint. If I have indeed created my finest work then any new work I create can be totally experimental. I have a free rein to really indulge in something mad without necessarily caring about the actual outcome.
If I mess up then it doesn't matter because I have already created such strong work in 2014 that I can afford to waste the rest of the year. I was wrong yesterday to think of my success as binding in any way. Instead I should think of it as liberating.
I really have nothing to lose.

Compared to fifteen years ago, anime fandom in South Africa has come a long way. Back then it was a whole different ballgame. The Internet was in its infancy at the time, and downloading quasi-legal fansubs was unheard of. No, we had to rely on a handful of distributors to keep us in a steady supply, and one of the biggest was Manga Video, a company that brought us some particularly memorable anime which are now considered classics in the Western world. However, Manga Video wasn't interested in bringing us TV series, and if we did get a series, it was usually a three to six part OAV at best. What we did get were a lot anime feature films, and anime distributor Madman has collected three films released by Manga Video which typified that early era into the Anime Classics collection.
Ghost in the Shell
This is the first Ghost in the Shell film based on the first Ghost in the Shell manga, back when the original creator, Masamune Shirow, still seemed to have some involvement in it. This stunningly-animated, politics-heavy sci-fi thriller converted many non-believers into anime fans with its jaw-dropping blend of CG and traditional animation. The action scenes are gripping and exciting to watch, but to be honest, the film gets bogged down a bit by the long political discussions and artsy sections which feature the kind of music that sounds like someone is skinning a live cat. Still, it's an undeniable classic and an important film in anime history.
We ran a review of the Blu-ray version of this anime a while back in which we mentioned why it is one of the greatest anime films of all time, so we'll just give you the basics here. Apart from being arguably the finest achievement in animation as far as anime goes, it's also a great distilled adaptation of Katsuhiro Otomo's sci-fi manga of the same name. If dystopian futures, gang wars between juvenile biker punks, and body-exploding psychic powers sound good to you, then give it a watch – you won't regret it.
Ninja Scroll
I remember how my friend and I used to shock our classmates by playing this anime in the school media centre back in high school. None of them knew about anime, much less what it could contain, and Ninja Scroll features some incredibly explicit sex scenes in addition to no-holds-barred violence. Apart from that, it's actually a complex, thrilling tale involving ninja with supernatural powers, government spies, and a payload of gold from a secret mine. A good watch for anyone looking for a samurai action film with a decent story.

Hello Bike for Backpacks Fans! We are two days into our journey and although our Marketing Team is rockin' the media I wanted to get a written update for those that are following.
We are now two days into the trip and let me just say, we have an AWESOME crew this year. It's great fun to have multiple riders and incredible support along the way. My (Michael's) sister Amanda is supporting the cause by driving the RV and making sure we all have what we need, invaluable! Amanda, you rock!
On Monday we drove to Glenwood Springs (157 miles) from Denver and learned how to navigate our 32 ft. RV, let me tell ya, it's a learning experience but pretty fun. We had a fun evening in Glenwood with most of our initial crew minus Michael Turra who met us on the trail between Glenwood and Aspen the next day.
Tuesday morning we set out for what one might call a "spiritual experience" as we rode along the Roaring Fork river, 40 miles to Aspen. Truly, some of the most spectacular trail and scenery we could ever have asked for. We had beautiful weather outside a fleeting squall about 15 minutes out of Aspen. Aspen is pretty quiet this week as it's the shoulder season and the annual Ruggerfest doesn't kick up until next weekend. We connected with my Uncle John who joined us for dinner – and before we knew what was happening, picked up the tab – thank you John!
We set up our RV at Kock Park where we enjoyed the afternoon sunshine, hanging our Bike for Backpacks banners and promoting our cause. Everyone we speak to is so receptive and supportive. In fact, we collected $40 on the top of Independence Pass today….we stood between the summit sign and told people we would take their photo in exchange for a donation, kidding…only sort of 🙂
This morning we got rolling about 9:30 as a couple of folks had business to take care of first thing. We aren't rushed to beat the heat because it's pretty consistently in the 60s but here in Colorado, afternoon showers are common so we still need to beat a hasty retreat each morning.
Today was riding a route that I've always dreamed about but had never done – Independence Pass that winds through some spectacular scenery from 7,500 – 12,095 ft. at the summit. Needless to say we needed to stop and catch our breath at the top and take advantage of some photo ops. Terri, our flat-lander rider from Minneapolis chose to co-pilot with Amanda today who drove the "long way" from Aspen back to pick us up in Twin Lakes.
At the time of this writing, we are sitting in our RV with our feet up, beer in hand and enjoying an incredible view from the top of Leadville looking west to Turquoise lake.

Patching – 10 Steps to Seal the Holes in Your Armor
You've likely heard of the massive ransomware attack that has taken down so many organizations, including hospitals, around the world. The ransomware appears to have exploited a bug for which Microsoft released a fix a little over a month ago. Follow these 10 steps to help protect your organization from this, and from future attacks:
Instructions for Windows and Apple home users are listed below the numbers. For organizations, here are 10 Steps To Avoid Incidents Including the Massive Ransomware Attack:
1. The reality is that most organizations are missing critical security patches and there is a very strong likelihood that yours is too.
2. Provide your team with extra time, and perhaps additional personnel, to test and then deploy patches ASAP. Some organizations are adding a new IT professional to their team whose sole responsibility is to manage patches. If the patch fails testing, then time must be invested to resolve the issue or implement compensating controls.
3. Prioritize critical security patches for the operating system, all the browsers, Flash, Java, your PDF Reader, and Microsoft Office. They are usually the easiest to attack and form your first line of defense.
4. Many IT teams are very reluctant to apply patches for fear of breaking your systems that are already running. Help remove their fears by reassuring them that you take on responsibility if the patch causes a problem. Encourage them to follow a procedure that mitigates risks:
5. Test Patches in a test environment that uses the same applications as the rest of your network. For very small companies, your test environment might be a single computer. For larger organizations, and organizations that stand to lose a great deal in the event of an attack, create a separate testing environment that is isolated from the production environment.
6. Have a pre-tested rollback plan so that, if the patch does cause a problem, your IT team will already know what they need to do right away to roll back a patch that causes an unexpected problem. They will then go back to the testing phase.
7. Deploy the patches in stages rather than patching all machines simultaneously. That way, even if the patch does cause a problem, not all your machines will be affected.
8. You may decide to empower your IT team with a patch management tool such as Ninite, LANGuard, Shavlik, or others. Allow them to test and choose a tool, and provide them with the means and time to do so, ASAP.
9. Ask IT, perhaps weekly and at least monthly, to provide you with a list of missing patches, not a pie chart.
10. You must upgrade from older operating systems, any of the ones that Microsoft no longer supports. If some machines cannot be upgraded, then they must be isolated or some other compensating control put into place. Microsoft clearly states when they stop producing patches for old operating systems. So, there was no patch available for Windows XP and others.
Call me if they are not able to apply patches. Let's team up to help prevent this.
At home, or if your organization is so small that you do not have an IT team or have an outsourced IT company that takes care of your patches, be sure that the option that provides automatic updates to Microsoft is enabled. The instructions are easy to find – just google the phrase: configure automatic updates site:Microsoft.com
Apple computer users, google: Automatic security updates os x site:apple.com
iPhone and iPad users, google: Automatic security downloads ios site:apple.com
Additionally, manually check for updates in Microsoft Office to be sure those are applied. Be sure that automatic updates are enabled in your browsers. Regularly download and apply patches to, or new versions of, Flash, Java, and your PDF reader.
Please forward this to everyone you care about and want to help stay secure.

The "style" of writing from the players' book will carry over to the referee's. It will not be an exhaustive tome trying to cover or create answers for everything. Instead it will provide the basics and outlines for doing things or how to do them with a simple "nudge you out of the nest little bird" spirit. Experienced gamers will no doubt have their own ways of doing things anyway which will be perfect as they know how and what to do already. For a new player, this will be (I hope) a good starter experience.
While the referee book will be larger, it will be due to additional spells and creatures as well as magic items. So more reference material for you to use, but again not and an exhaustive tome. I hope to keep it to 36-38 pages.
Anyway thanks for giving the game a go, and your comments, good or ill, are welcome.

President Jacob Zuma was speaking at the official launch of the newly revamped Desmond Tutu Refugee Reception Centre in Marabastad in Pretoria.
The centre has been marred by complaints about long queues, allegations of corruption and by criminal syndicates.
President Zuma says the newly built Desmond Tutu Refugee Reception Centre will ensure that foreign nationals are treated with dignity.
"To guarantee that all clients are treated in a humane and dignified manner."
Zuma says government will not tolerate corruption in its organisations.
"As well as in the refugee centre documentation process."
The president says South Africa needs to find a way to balance dealing with these challenges and treating foreign nationals in a humane manner.
Meanwhile, Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba has appealed to South African leaders to be cautious of their words when referring to foreign nationals in the country.
Gigaba says leaders from all spheres have a responsibility to instil compassion and humanity in society.
"Political, religious and other leaders across the country must be care of their words and pronouncements in reference to immigrants in South Africa."
Gigaba says there are laws put in place to deal with foreign nationals who are not in the country legally.
"Therefore no leader of this country should aspire towards inciting vigilantism."
The Home Affairs Minister says while the majority of immigrants in South Africa have no criminal intention they have responsibility to ensure that they respect the law.

It is actually clear that classroom mentor of composing around the country is actually accordinged to the principles of Rhetoric. As well as, obviously, Unsupported claims is everything about forms and has nothing to perform along with newness as well as ingenuity. Actually, you may also state that the innovators of Unsupported claims, the Greeks, in fact restrained the concept of creativity.
Subduing the idea from newness accompanied the early Greeks (around 1100 B.C. – 146 B.C.) since they believed attributes was excellent, produced by Gods, as well as humankind might certainly not surpass that. So their society, art, construction, songs, sculpture, and also developments focused on seeking the policies from attributes as well as copying all of them, rather than being imaginative approximately, and with, the policies and guidelines of attribute.
In the Greek thoughts, males were actually certainly not makers like the Gods, as well as so they possessed no term or condition that straight corresponded to our phrase creativity. In their concept of creativity, the very early Religious were actually comparable to the Greeks, but more severe.
Early and Middle ages Christians believed that God generated the globe and everything in deep space away from nothing at all, thus innovation or even creatio (Latin) was actually an unique feature from His. Thereby, Religious believed that was presumptuous from man-irreverent, rude, also sacrilegious, to declare to have that godly capability, thus cleverly refusing the human race the honor of creative thinking plus all the generating of freshness that would certainly pick it. Going the Greeks one much better, the early Religious even prolonged that exemption of creativity to poetry, along with to all the remainder of the fine arts.
For the Judeo-Christian culture, Ecclesiastes 1:9 (created around 250 B.C.) from the Old Proof conveyed this properly:
The many things that have actually been actually, this is that which shall be actually; which which is actually carried out is that which shall be performed: and also there is no new point under the sun.
Therefore for Religious, it was actually impossible for humankind to make everything brand new imaginable, also in poetry. Sorry about that one-upmanship, Greeks!
A change developed in modern-day opportunities, and also in the Revival guys built a feeling of their personal freedom, liberty, and imagination. The initial to in fact administer words creativity was actually the Polish writer Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski, that administered it specifically to verse in the very early 1600's. For over a century and a fifty percent, the suggestion of individual creative thinking met resistance, as a result of the reality that the phrase development was actually reserved for production off absolutely nothing.
The official starting factor for the medical study from creative thinking is generally taken to have actually been actually J. P. Guilford's 1950 handle to the United States Psychological Association, which promoted the subject and concentrated interest on a scientific method to contemplating creative thinking and evaluating this.
Other pursuers of the concept of creative thinking have actually taken an even more practical strategy, training functional innovation strategies. The three very most widely known are actually:
Alex Osborn's brainstorming method (1950s to existing).
Genrikh Altshuller's (a Russian patent clerk) Theory of Inventive Complication Resolving for scientific design (phoned TRIZ, 1950s to found).
sneak a peek at this web-site. Edward de Bono's association of ideas procedures (1960s to current).
Certainly not until 1950 was the concept from imagination totally allowed, as applied to man! That has been only 59 years!
Today if we can just obtain a person to completely apply the idea from, What is actually new to the visitor, to the mentor of composing, our experts may make some genuine progression in writing pedagogy.
WHOA! You're probably thinking, That's a rather strong claim. I'm certainly not so sure regarding that.
Okay, at that point – allow's make an effort a little mental experiment by applying the WHAT IF exam to Unsupported claims-.
WHAT HAPPENS IF an essay (or even any other form from composing) has actually made use of every feasible Pretentious device and also technique feasible, so that it is perfect as for Unsupported claims goes.
Better, SUPPOSE the target market has presently listened to or read through the tips, the specifics, and also the discussion, just before?
Would not you agree, after that, offered those circumstances, that the essay (or whatever) will be a failing since this has nothing at all brand new to claim to the audience?
Some how, I just knew you would certainly find this my technique.
And also, of training course, Unsupported claims is actually all regarding kinds as well as has absolutely nothing to carry out along with newness and ingenuity. You might even state that the mothers from Unsupported claims, the Greeks, actually restrained the principle from creative thinking.
In their idea of creativity, the very early Christians were identical to the Greeks, however, a lot more extreme.
Therefore, Christians thought it was arrogant from man-irreverent, disrespectful, also sacrilegious, to declare to have that godly capacity, thus skillfully denying the human race the respect of creativity as well as all the generating from freshness that will go with this. Going the Greeks one much better, the very early Christians even extended that omission of innovation to verse, as well as to all the rest of the fine arts.

Editor's Note: Peggy Delaney is sailing on a newly refurbished research vessel, the JOIDES Resolution, that left Honolulu on March 10 with an international group of researchers on board. The ship, supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation, conducts scientific investigations beneath the seafloor by drilling the ocean floor and retrieving long "cores" of mud for testing and data collection. This is her eighth blog post. To see all her posts, see "60 Seconds in the Mid-Pacific."
SOMEWHERE IN THE EQUATORIAL PACIFIC (APRIL 11, 2009)—We are past the hump—the midway point. We have 16 days of operations left, split between our remaining two sites, and these are followed by a long transit back to Hawaii. We are currently coring at our fourth site, U1334. People are tired and grumpy. Using the new or newly reconfigured science systems and computing infrastructure has been and continues to be harder than anticipated. Doing routine things requires learning new ways, and it often feels like we are all just putting out small brush fires as fast as we can. We struggle to keep our heads above water and to focus on the science of what we are doing. So, what helps to keep our spirits up? And what about that science?
It's obvious—from how I feel, from talking to some folks, from looking at the rest—that we all are feeling the effects of the work schedule. Every one works 12 hours per day, seven days per week for the whole cruise. We miss home, time off, a change in routine. The "wall of pet pictures" has gone up in the lab stairwell. Looking at our own pets and seeing pictures of each other's pets is soothing. It sparks discussions of, "Is your cat really cuter than mine?" and "Whose dog is that one?" We really can't bear to put up the "wall of kid pictures," although obviously we all miss our kids and family members.
Two upcoming events are lifting my spirits. It's the weekend, which you can ordinarily only tell by looking at the calendar, except that the weekend usually features the fire/boat drill. This is when we all practice going to our lifeboat stations—with our hard hats, safety glasses, closed-toe shoes and life vests. Each week we learn something else about the operation and supplies of the lifeboats. The ship's crew takes the opportunity to practice some valuable firefighting or emergency skill, learning their roles and reviewing the procedures to be followed. I like fire and boat drills, because they mark time elapsed and because it's just something different. They usually happen Saturday or Sunday, and signs go up and an e-mail arrives alerting us to this.
I have been wondering what will happen for Sunday's meal. In the past, Sunday often featured a barbecue, with picnic tables on the steel decks and a chance to eat outside, even if it is a bit windy sometimes. These haven't happened yet this cruise, for a variety of good reasons, but I miss them. My answer came today—an e-mail from the captain and a note posted in the galley alerting us that the boat drill will be Monday, and that it is delayed by a day because of the Easter Sunday barbecue. Hooray!! A fancier meal and a change of pace, not because it's a religious holiday, but because it is a good reason for the catering crew to pull out the stops. Tomorrow's noon meal, the one at the end of my shift, should be a barbecue. It's the small pleasures—a can of cold soda, a chance to sit outside and eat, a way to get outside ourselves—that get us through a lengthy expedition.
So, what about that science? Several things this week have helped. We have had science presentations from two of the scientific party, on the big-picture background of science related to this expedition. They have been relatively short (about half an hour), but it has been splendid to hear these and either be reminded of what we might already know and/or to learn something new about why we are here handling this array of sometimes frustrating tasks.
I have been teaching marine geology for over 20 years. I tell students about how the mass balances of the ocean for calcium control the depth distribution of calcite deposition in sediments. How this ledger sheet—an accounting of the sources of dissolved calcium to the ocean and the ways it can leave the ocean—combine with the action of organisms in the ocean and the physical controls on where calcite dissolves to set the fundamental characteristics of marine sediments. The role that movements of tectonic plates play in this: how the vertical subsidence over time, as plates move horizontally away from the ridge crests of their creation, affects sedimentation; how the history of this changing mass balance is reflected in basin-wide sedimentation patterns; and how these are expressed in individual cores. I give homework assignments and test questions, getting students to reason out that they will see layers of clay overlying calcite reflecting these combined effects.
But here, as core comes on board, as it gets split open in half and onto the sampling table, we see these patterns before our eyes. The transition we are looking at isn't new, in the sense that no one has seen it before. We know we are looking for good expressions of this radical change in ocean sedimentation that occurred about 34 million years ago. And we are finding it at our sites, including this one, with lovely recovery of the Eocene–Oligocene boundary.
This site has featured a special treat. The cores are composed largely of calcite throughout much of the site depth. These hard parts of largely planktonic organisms build the sediment fabric, and their predominance in the sediments gives them a typically white to off-white color. At depth in this site, through oxidation reduction processes we are still exploring, it was clear even on the catwalk where the cores are first recovered that the cores at depth were distinctly blue, not just white. We have seen all the cores from the first hole at this site and, at depth, they pass through a range of color: from a pale robin's egg blue to a lovely pale green to a yellow to orange then to tan. In the end we will have a scientific explanation for this, and this isn't the first time that some color has been observed in these type of sediments. Ah, but they are lovely, truly lovely. And it reminds me of the splendors of this world and our enormous joy and privilege in being able to explore these splendors, using the skills and resources of a wide array of individuals on this ship and off it, supporting our efforts.
A barbecue, a boat drill, a reminder that we really don't know it all, and evidence of our interlocking network of needs and support—these combined lift my spirits for another day of doing the tasks in front of me.
