ARCHIVED - 02/13/2020, sold the van....
Free camping on government land & update to water storage - 10/06/2020 | For this trip, I wanted to get a taste of camping on governent land for free. There are no facilities and you are usually not in the most prime location, but it is free and for many a full timer this is one of the places they choose to stay, at least some of the time. This is the Pumphouse Wash (FR 237) Dispersed Camping Area. There are four loops off of Forest Service Road 237 with defined sites and fire rings. There are no other services. No water, no restroom, no anything. They put these up to lessen the impact that some dispersed campers cause when they are just parked on the federal land. The site was fine. There were about 6 other campers for about 12 sites and everyone respected each other's privacy. I found out though, that I need to plan more for what to do. I read a book, and started a second. There was no signal so I was totally off grid. I took a few short walks, but that was about it. I need to better plan around this type of camping next time. (Fishing gear, bicycle, or even just other hobbies/crafts that I can do with my free time.) Plus, I didn't realize how cold it was up north. I was not prepared for 32f and I don't have a Mr. Buddy heater yet. I cut the trip short, but I will be better prepaired for the next one.
The update to my water storage was to get new 6 gallon milk crates from Farm Plast because, you know, they needed to match.... And I wanted to go two high so I could have 6 gallons underneath and have the whole thing raised to give me a work surface. I am not sure what the best use of the space in the second crate will be. For this trip I used it for food and that freed up the space between the seats, which was nice. But the best thing was having that work surface set up and ready to go. I need to add some lighting overhead and might have to install some cleats to keep it from sliding though. (49.5 # of H2O when fully loaded!)
RIP Carrie - 08/17/2020 | Carrie went to the shop and she needs more repairs than I can afford. Mechanically, she is sound, but she will never pass emissions in 2022. So my plan is to make the most of the next two years. I'm not real comfortable with driving with the check engine light on, but I will try to deal...
Potty time - 07/27/2020 | This is my system for restroom needs while boondocking. For the short hauls that I'm planning, this will be used for the times I don't have access to a real bathroom. Maybe a chemical toilet system in my future, but a lot of boodockers use the bag/bottle and toss method. Working on a cover, but I need more crazy glue.
This is a old liquor bottle box with a 3 gallon bucket inside. There is enough clearance to put the lid on to help contain things and with a little kitty litter, we should be good to go. Yellow Nalgene bottle is for #1. So far, it seems like it will work, but I have not field tested it yet.
Initial shakedown - 07/10/2020 | I went camping this weekend to see how the basic configuration was working. This was a way to look for any glaring misses in the setup. I figure it will be tweaked as I go, but I wanted to set a baseline.
This is a view from the rear to show the overall setup. The bed is on the passenger side, as that had a straight wall. Some additional storage under the bed includes my kitchen bin, 2 bins for clothes, a folding chair, and a small shovel.
This is my toilet system. Right now, this is just bungied to the side, but I plan to build a box to house my emergency bathroom setup. It is my goal not to use this, but depending on where I am, this may be my only choice. Bucket is for #2, bottle for # 1.
My water is behind the driver's seat. I have figured on 6 gallons as my go to amount of water to carry. This can be adjusted depending on the trip, but it is a reasonable number to start with. I considered things like a 6 gallon Jerry can, or two 3 gallon stackable cans, but this works for me for now. I am thinking about replacing one of the jugs with a 1 gallon sprayer for impromptu showers, but that's TBD. This sits behind the driver's seat. A potential modification is to add a 2nd crate with a smooth top as a work station.
These two Ikea bins fit perfectly between the front seats. They hold about 2 weeks worth of dry/canned goods. They also make a nice tray for things like printouts or my cell phone when I am driving.
On the passenger side, I kept it pretty clear as this is my main way in and out of the van. I bungied a folding table and some paper towels to the passenger seat. I did not use the table this time as I had one where I was staying, but it takes up no space to speak of.
Overall, this setup worked for the most part. Not shown at the front of the bed are two small shoe boxes with my hygene kit and my electronics bin. They are held in place by a bungie. As I get more trips under my belt I will make some changes but this is working well so far. The best thing was the bed. I'm over sleeping on the ground, regardless of the pad.
Stow and Gone! - 07/04/20 | I took the plunge today and removed the front stow and go seats. The idea here is to have storage for things that I don't use that often, but still want to carry. Removing the seats give me that extra storage as well as reduces the weight by what I would guess is 150 - 200 lbs. In my proposed configuration, the passenger side compartmant will normally be accessable while the driver's side will require me to slide a few things over. So the drivers side will probably have tools, jumper cables, and other stuff I don't plan to access that often while the passenger side will likely have things like my camp stove, extra shoes, and some other random bits.
Bed build - 06/26/2020 | I decided to keep the stow-and-go seats for now and not put in a floor. I imagine they will eventually be gone but for now they stay. I cut down a standard bed frame to fit a 28" x 74" mattress that I had custom made by www.militarysupplyhouse.com. The bed was 3 1/2" lower in the front than the back. Since that is the standard size of a 2x4, I used a flat 2x4 in the back and a t-shaped combo of a flat and upright 2x4 in the front. I pulled the wheels from the frame and drilled 3/4" holes, 3/4" deep. It sits level now, but may need to be adlusted once the van has its standard load in it. There is no wheel well on the passenger side so my 24" bins fit under the frame nicely. Next step is get some bedding and think about some kind of headboard/cubbie.
Site launch - 06/23/2020 | OK. So, here's the plan. I bought a used minvan and plan to turn it into a camper. I chose a minivan because they can be cheap to buy, insure and maintiain. I plan to be a weekender for now before seeing if I want to go full time, so this seems to be the best way for me to test the waters of vanlife. Just bought an '05 Caravan. Meet "Carrie"!

Meghan is a young star, forced to maintain a squeaky clean image for her fans, and Jennifer is her childhood best friend . . . with a secret. When Meghan' manager arranges a trip to the Futa Ranch to help her deal with her carnal needs, it turns out there's an ulterior motive to the trip, and that is what makes this really exciting.
Meghan and Jennifer are sweet girls, best friends who are just beginning to experiment with 'best friends with benefits' on the eve of their trip. They are both curious and vulnerable, and playing voyeur on their sexual awakening is a glorious thrill. There are so many first times here, and I loved how eager they are to try new things, but I loved Meghan's hesitation to taste futa cum even more.
The real highlight of the story for me, though, is Constance. At first glance, she just seems like a gloriously endowed futa who seeks to play teacher and mentor to Meghan, but she has a softer side that comes out in the end, making for an ending that is more delicious than it has any right to be. A different sort of story from Krystal's Story, the story of Meghan and Jennifer proves there is a lot more to explore at the Futa Ranch.
JC Winchester grew up reading just about anything he could get his hands on, from cereal boxes to the Hardy Boys. He loves most forms of fiction, particularly fantasy and military sci-fi, with some of his favorite authors including John Ringo, Robert Jordan, and Tom Clancy. After several years in the Navy he enrolled in a community college and eventually to a university in the mountains. There he settled down, savoring a life not filled with the noises of the city but instead the sounds of bellowing cattle. When not writing he can usually be found taking care of the horses on his place, riding, hiking, fishing, or the never ending task of splitting firewood.

We hate to say it, but with certain Hollywood gossip mongers otherwise indisposed at the moment… toldja? A few days ago, we were discussing potential dark horses for the Oscar race, and one of the films we particularly highlighted was "The Gambler," Rupert Wyatt's remake of James Toback's 1974 James Caan vehicle about a college professor with the titular addiction. Penned by Academy Award-winning "The Departed" scribe William Monahan, it now stars Mark Wahlberg, Brie Larson, Jessica Lange and John Goodman.
The film was, heretofore, absent from the festival circuit and without a release date, but Paramount has just made their intentions known, announcing via Variety that the film will compete in the awards season this year, opening in limited release on December 19th, before expanding wider on New Year's Day, a similar pattern to the one that Wahlberg's "Lone Survivor" took last year. That film didn't ultimately do much in terms of the Oscar race, but with the prestige behind the project (it's a one-time Scorsese project), and a number of meaty acting possibilities, it certainly shouldn't be counted out.
It should be noted, as we did the other day, that Paramount has a stacked slate this year: the studio are also expecting big things from Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" and Ava DuVernay's "Selma"—does this mean that they're feeling shaky about one of those? Or are they planning to push all three as hard as possible? We'll find out in the months to come.
Meanwhile, the studio also made some bold plans in the tentpole world. Their ludicrously-named continuation/reboot of the "Terminator" franchise, "Terminator: Genisys," doesn't hit until July 1st next year, but the studio has already set release dates for not one but two sequels, the first due on May 19th, 2017, the second only a year later, on June 19th, 2018. They're obviously not shouting about this, but the main reason is that James Cameron will reclaim the rights to the series in 2019, so they clearly plan to milk what they have while they still have it.
"Thor: The Dark World" helmer Alan Taylor is directing the first film, but there's no word on who'll handle the second two (which, we guess, might be filmed back to back, a la the second two "Pirates" movies). "Genisys" stars Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor, Jason Clarke as John Connor, Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese, plus Matt Smith, Dayo Okeniyi, Lee Byung-hun, J.K. Simmons and, returning to the series that made his name, Arnold Schwarzenegger, so presumably whoever survives the first film will be back for more. Unless, of course, it tanks next summer…

Veteran indie bookseller Javier Ramirez is partnering with another bookseller, Mary Mollman, to open an indie bookstore in Chicago's West Loop neighborhood. Target date to open the store is mid-November – though the two say they will delay the opening to the spring if they are not ready to open before the holidays. The bookstore will be called Madison Street Books, located at 1127 West Madison Street.
"We wanted to keep [the store name] simple and to honor an iconic street in the neighborhood," Ramirez said, describing the area as "up and coming" with "lots of families,' as well as a nearby school and daycare center. "It's a fantastic area that doesn't have a community bookstore," Mollman added, anticipating that the store will launch a lively schedule of author events for both adults and children, "We want to be a community-based bookstore."
The store will be a full-service general bookstore that Mollman describes as being "well curated," with a diverse selection, ranging from bestsellers from the large houses to small presses and books by "more obscure" authors. The bookstore will also have, Ramirez said a "sizeable, really solid" children's section, with regularly scheduled story times to accommodate the needs of the community.
Ramirez has worked at a number of Chicagoland's indies (Including the Book Cellar, Seminary Coop/57th Street Books, City Lit, and Barbara's Bookstore) for almost 25 years since moving to the Windy City to help open a Tower Records store, Most recently, he has worked as the manager at the Book Table in Oak Park for the past five years and gave his notice last week. Mollman works at Booked, a children's bookstore in Evanston for the past year; she also just gave her notice. The two met about seven years ago when they both worked at The Book Stall at Chestnut Court in Winnetka, Ill.
After taking time off from there to focus upon her family of four children, Mollman returned to bookselling by taking the position at Booked last year. While passing through the West Loop recently, she noticed a "for rent" sign in a window, and on a whim, toured the 1,700-square-foot space that includes a loft. After signing the lease, she contacted Ramirez and asked him to partner with her in the new venture.
"I think we both have what it takes to run a bookstore," Mollman said, "I'm ready to rise to the challenge. It's been my life-long dream to own a bookstore. I love talking with customers, finding the 'just-right' book. And Javier has so much experience, he's well connected with publishers and other booksellers and authors, and he has so much respect for the process. It's great to have a partner who knows so much. He'll keep me on track."
Ramirez is one of the five judges in the fiction category for the 2019 National Book Awards. He also organizes with author and editor Keir Graff the Publishing Cocktails regular meet ups and cash mobs of Chicagoland publishing professionals, as well as an author series at the Beer Shop in Oak Park that is currently co-sponsored by Book Table. If Book Table does not continue the author series, Ramirez says, he will continue organizing it.

On the eve of National Consumer Rights Day, Consumers' Legal Protection Forum organized a public meeting, awareness programme and free legal aid camp for the victim consumers at Panjabari in Guwahati on Monday in collaboration with Jyotishikha Mahila Samannay Parishad.
Attending as a chief guest in the programme, Khagen Dohotia, retired district and session judge elaborately describe about the provisions of Consumer Protection Act 1986.
In his speech Dohotia said, "This act gives us more power to protect our rights as a consumer. Most of us are not aware with our rights. After shopping, even we never go through the cash memo a single time. Without the cash memo, we cannot claim compensation. A victim consumer can knock the door of District Consumer forum, State and National Consumer Commission if he has the case memo in his hand for justice."
Advocate Ajoy Hazarika, secretary of Consumers' Legal Protection Forum spoke about the rights of consumers. He informed that under no circumstance should consumers pay more than the maximum retail price (MRP).
They can actually bargain over the MRP. The shop owners cannot put their own stickers to make an extra profit on the commodities.
He also said that everyone should be aware with the misleading advertisement broadcast in the TV channels. At the time of online shopping, we should go thoroughly with the terms & conditions of the business house, he added.
"We should raise our voice strongly against the medical negligence cases. Financial institutions can't offer the benefits to its consumers above rate fixed by RBI," he also warned.
Attending the programme, noted writer and retired civil servant Tabiul Hussain share his experiences about the harassment by the bank authorities, wrong treatment of hospitals and doctors etc.
He appealed everyone to make themselves more aware to avoid the unwanted hassles. Other participants, representing various organizations also share their experiences as to how they are cheated by the road side vendors to shopping malls.

Starting to compete is a very confusing experience. In a sense, it is almost like starting BJJ all over Thre's just so much happening at a tournament that people oftentimes have trouble remembering what took place in a match they just had. In fact, it is as close to a traumatic experience as you can get in. After a while all this becomes normal and you can start approaching things more calmly. That's when you need strategies and understating BJJ points is the first thing you need to learn before you compete, right after the scissor sweep and Kimura from guard.
When you take a look at a competition, any competition, in any sport, you'll notice that the point systems are crazy complicated. Even stuff you're' watching all your life, like football and baseball, take a closer look at points. Reading the rulebooks will reveal hundreds of hidden stuff regarding the point system. BJJ points are no different, and, as simple they might seem, they often confuse even people with years of competitive experience. In essence, they're not complicated, you just need to know two things – there are different point systems out there, and you need to understand how to get them rather than take them for granted.
The BJJ Points System
BJJ points are anything but granted. They work in a very specific way, as you might expect. However, they are unique to the art. So much so, in fact, that there are several things that other sports simply do not have, like advantages, for example. That said, the ways in which you can score in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are by points, advantages or penalties to the opponent.
BJJ points, of course, are the best way to get ahead in a match. You can get anything from two to four points in Jiu-Jitsu, depending on what you're doing. You can also get points in succession, something we'll cover in detail later on. With points, there are clear cut rules when you can receive them, and there's no place for arguing or ambiguity here.
Advantages, on the other hand, are much more loosely defined. In rulebooks, they're defined as actions that almost led to something significant, like a submission, pass or a sweep for example. However, despite attempts to really clarify and systematize them, they're still pretty much down to the judgment of referees. Still, they prove hugely important as many world titles have been won by way of a single advantage.
Finally, there are penalties or negative points. There's a limit to how many you can "score" before you get DQ-ed. However, before you're sent home, the penalties you score actually lead to advantages and points for the opponent. Not something you're looking forward to.
This is the perfect spot to also mention submissions, although they have nothing to do with points. Point-wise, a close but unsuccessful submission attempt might bring you an advantage. Otherwise, a successful submission wins a match. That's all you need to know.
BJJ Points In Gi Tournaments
In Jiu-Jitsu, you'll either compete in Gi or No-Gi. When it comes to GI tournaments, most of them follow the same set of rules – those brought about by the IBJJF. Conversely, most of the academies in the world practice BJJ according to this point system so we'll be looking at it more closely. The way we'll systematize it is by the number of points you can get, rather than go position by position.
Two Points
There are three situations in total that can land you two points in a Jiu-Jitsu match. The first is a takedown, the second is a sweep and the third Is getting the knee on belly position. However, there's a trick – you won't just get them by arriving at the positions. If only it was that easy.
There's something in Jiu-Jitsu that is called the "three-second rule" which means that you have to spend three seconds in any position before you're awarded points. The idea is that you've stabilized your new position and can build from there, and that's why you're getting points. When you take someone down, you have to also keep them down for three seconds. Otherwise, you'll only get an advantage. With a sweep it is the same – you have to get up and keep the other person down for three seconds to get BJJ points. What constitutes a sweep, though is any position where you're using a guard, i.e. your legs and hips. Getting on top from the bottom of mount or side control does not constitute a sweep.
Finally, you need to stay in the knee on belly position for three seconds total to get the points. Whether or not the opponent squirms and moves are not relevant, but your knee has to stay on their chest/belly.
Three Points
Thre's only one instance in Jiu-Jitsu where you get three points – passing the guard. Any guard you pass, be it a closed guard, an open guard or the half guard will land you three points. Something people often confuse here is that side control will earn you three BJJ points. On the contrary, side control doesn't bring any points. You get points for passing the guard. Speaking of passing, all you need to do is get past the legs and keep the other person pinned for three seconds. It is no important if their back is on the ground or they're on their side, all you need to do is prevent them from getting their legs in between the two of you.
Four Points
This one is really easy. You get four points for obtaining back control or the mount position. Once again, you need a clear cut position here and the three seconds to get the points. For the mount, you need both your knees and feet on the ground or grapevine to get the points. Form the back, only two hooks inside will get you points. if there's an arm trapped on one side in both cases, you still get the points if you can stabilize for three seconds. However, all other variations only bring an advantage, which could prove to be costly in a match, so pay attention n to this one.
Advantages are a whole different can of worms that we've covered in detail in a different article.
Points in The ADCC
Competing in the ADCC is the best example of an alternative system of BJJ points. It is done solely in NO-Gi, and you'll probably never end up competing at the main event. However, you can compete in the trials all around the world, and the rules are pretty much the same. As you'll see, the ADCC does offer a different perspective on scoring BJJ points.
Two Points
In the ADCC, you also get two points for sweeping or taking someone down. There's a catch, though. Once you sweep or take someone down if you end up inside their closed or half guard, you'll get two points. If you end up outside the guard, you actually get double the points. The knee on belly position features again as a two-pointer, with pretty much the same rules. What's different here is that you also get two BJJ points for the mount position.
Three Points
In the three points department, back control keeps guard passing company under ADCC rules. In terms of guard passing, the same rules apply, along with the three-second rule. Once you pass the guard, you need to keep the opponent in place for three seconds. If you get the back in the ADCC, with both hooks in, though, you won't get four points, but rather three.
Four Points
Finally, four points in the ADCC are awarded for sweeps and takedowns only. They're considered game-changing moves but will only bring you four BJJ points in certain, specific situations. You have to end up outside the guard of an opponent in both cases in order to claim four points. In most cases,that involves either an open guard or more often, side control or a pin. AS far as I am concerned, this is a great way to make scoring way more precise.
Submission Only & New Wave Tournaments
Finally, a word or two n the modern competition scene. While the big events like EBI, Polaris, Fight2Win, etc are invitation-only, many local tournaments copy their rulesets. In submission-only tournaments, there's not much to copy in terms of BJJ points. In others, though, there are modified point systems that differ from tournament to tournament. There's no way to look into all of them and you're not likely to run into them as a beginner anyway.
Before we wrap up, let me say that I didn't include penalties as they deserve an article of their own and I have one in the works. Make sure you watch this space!
Final Words
Understanding how to get BJJ points is the surefire way of never being in doubt why a referee did not give you points or gave them to your opponent. It is really not that hard if you think about the points rather than the positions that earn them. Organize everything by points and you'll quickly master the ruleset and be able o use it to your advantage.


text: 7.4 Silk Sonic Showcase Their Natural Cool on An Evening with Silk Sonic The pairing of Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars makes for an enjoyable tribute to retro soul, funk and R&B By Candace McDuffie | November 15, 2021 | 4:54pm Music Reviews Silk Sonic Share Tweet Submit Pin When Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars revealed "Leave The Door Open" as the lead single from their debut album An Evening with Silk Sonic back in March, it prompted a sigh of relief from their respective fanbases. The former was further showcasing his prophetic soul and R&B capabilities; the latter was proving to naysayers that he possesses ingenuity of his own. Over the years, Mars has been accused of cultural appropriation and capitalizing on Black aesthetics to further his career. This all came to a head at the 2017 Grammy Awards, where 24K Magic beat out Jay-Z's 4:44 for Album of the Year. In an interview on The Breakfast Club earlier this year, Mars directly addressed the criticism, stating: "The only reason why I'm here is because of James Brown, is because of Prince, Michael [Jackson] … that's it. This music comes from love and if you can't hear that, then I don't know what to tell you." Mars has always praised the legends who have come before him and undeniably shaped his discography. However, as half of Silk Sonic, his claims finally feel valid. As a solo artist, Mars has indulged in the absurdity of chasing pop perfection ("Grenade") and using clunky, heavy-handed metaphors ("Perm"). But he's hit his creative stride by partaking in this formidable duo. An Evening with Silk Sonic masterfully blends Mars' confectionary vocal stylings with .Paak's feverish energy and unfettered cool. It's clear as day on the aforementioned "Leave The Door Open," where .Paak's salacious chants are smoothed over by Mars' sultry crooning. "Smokin Out The Window," which features an introduction from the one and only Bootsy Collins, contains more playful lyricism that borders on parody ("Must've spent 35, 45 thousand up in Tiffany's / Got her badass kids runnin' round my whole crib like it's Chuck E. Cheese"), but is saved by the duo's hyperbolic execution. Luckily, elsewhere on the album, we are treated to more complex artistry that does, in fact, serve as a tribute to the greats. Both men are channeling their inner James Brown with a modern edge on "Fly As Me," where .Paak takes over the rhyming, declaring, "Silk Sonic smooth like a mack / Float like a butterfly on every single track," while he and Mars team up for a simplistic but bold chorus. "After Last Night," which also features Collins and Thundercat, is a classic R&B love song reminiscent of early-'90s throwback jams a la Mint Condition and Jodeci. The disco soundscapes on "Skate" could have easily felt tired and redundant, but are reimagined with enough feel-good percussion and cheesy one-liners directed at a love interest ("You smell better than a barbeque") to glisten and shine. Mars takes center stage on the emotive "Put On a Smile," while .Paak rattles off slick boasts over funky basslines on "777." An Evening with Silk Sonic works because these two artists know how to complement each other extraordinarily well. Hopefully, down the line, they will work to reinvent the wheel instead of merely paying homage to it. But in the meantime, the world should just enjoy the pithy musings of this lively pair.

The link between vaccination rates and the recovery in oil demand
Global oil demand has a distinct seasonal pattern over the course of a year. The low point occurs in the first trimester, which is then followed by smaller but successively higher levels in the second and third quarters. The annual peak in oil consumption occurs in the last quarter of the year. Over nearly four decades, there are very few exceptions to this pattern, and 2021 shouldn't be one of those exceptions.
The other consideration that must be taken into account in the current year is the end of the isolation and containment measures that have been instituted to limit the impacts of the pandemic. A review of vaccination rates shows that there is a correlated impact with the recovery we have seen in oil demand so far.
When it comes to oil use, the hardest hit countries in 2020 were those in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. So far this year, the biggest rebounds in demand have been in these same OECD countries, which makes sense given the data showing that the vaccination pattern (as a percentage of the total population) is the most important in developed countries.
As noted above, the last few weeks have seen a slight increase in oil inventories against the season in the OECD North America region (Canada, Mexico, Chile and the United States) and in the OECD Pacific region (Japan, Korea, Australia and New Zealand). . These two regions account for 67 percent of world oil storage and the change in collective stocks shows an almost perfect correlation with the total oil stocks of the OECD (the indicator of world storage).
Barring something that actually disrupts the global economic recovery, we have every reason to expect global oil demand to continue to normalize.
Michael rothman
Since July 2020, global oil stocks have fallen to a record 440 million barrels. This is the trend that we foresee and the trend that we still see in place. In that regard, you may recall that we saw a modest inventory build up earlier this year in April and May. These storage gains coincided with a slight slowdown in global demand. As with such patterns, however, readings below the trend in one period are usually followed by numbers above the trend in a later period – which has turned out to be the case to such an extent that the second quarter of the year saw global oil demand exceed forecast.
Since two weeks isn't a month (and a month isn't a quarter), we have no anxiety that recent weekly data suggests that the global economic recovery (not oil demand) has derailed. Near real-time data (such as air traffic) has been close to respective 2019 levels, and even the most recent weekly figures show no sort of abrupt slowdown.
Barring something that actually disrupts the global economic recovery, we have every reason to expect global demand for oil to continue to normalize. Given the supply side of the equation and the prospect that non-OPEC oil production lags behind demand gains, the odds are strongly in favor of continued tightening of the supply / demand balance and further increases in oil prices in the medium term.

Virtually every air traveler entering the U.S. is required to show a passport. All persons, including U.S. citizens, traveling by air between the United States and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda are required to present a valid passport. Note: U.S. and Canadian citizens entering the U.S. at land and sea ports of entry from within the Western Hemisphere must now also present a passport or other documents compliant with the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI; visit www.getyouhome.gov for details). Children 15 and under may continue entering with only a U.S. birth certificate or other proof of U.S. citizenship. For information on obtaining a passport, see the following:
Australian citizens should contact the Australian Passport Information Service (tel. 131-232, or visit www.passports.gov.au).
Canadian citizens should contact the Passport Office, Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Ottawa, ON K1A 0G3 (tel. 800/567-6868; www.ppt.gc.ca).
Irish citizens should contact the Passport Office, Setanta Centre, Molesworth Street, Dublin 2 (tel. 01/671-1633; www.foreignaffairs.gov.ie).
New Zealand citizens should contact the Passports Office, Department of Internal Affairs, 47 Boulcott St.reet, Wellington, 6011 (tel. 0800/225-050 in New Zealand or 04/474-8100; www.passports.govt.nz).
U.K. citizens should visit the nearest passport office, major post office, or travel agency, or contact the Identity and Passport Service (IPS), 89 Eccleston Sq.uare, London, SW1V 1PN (tel. 0300/222-0000; www.ips.gov.uk).

The U.S. State Department has a Visa Waiver Program (VWP) allowing citizens of the following countries to enter the United States without a visa for stays of up to 90 days: Andorra, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. (This list was accurate at press time; for the most up-to-date list of countries in the VWP, consult http://travel.state.gov/visa.) Even though a visa isn't necessary, in an effort to help U.S. officials check travelers against terror watch lists before they arrive at U.S. borders, visitors from VWP countries must register online through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) before boarding a plane or a boat to the U.S. Travelers must complete an electronic application providing basic personal and travel eligibility information. The Department of Homeland Security recommends filling out the form at least 3 days before traveling. Authorizations will be valid for up to 2 years or until the traveler's passport expires, whichever comes first. Currently, there is a US$14 fee for the online application. Existing ESTA registrations remain valid through their expiration dates. Note: Any passport issued on or after October 26, 2006, by a VWP country must be an e-Passport for VWP travelers to be eligible to enter the U.S. without a visa. Citizens of these nations also need to present a round-trip air or cruise ticket upon arrival. E-Passports contain computer chips capable of storing biometric information, such as the required digital photograph of the holder. If your passport doesn't have this feature, you can still travel without a visa if the valid passport was issued before October 26, 2005, and includes a machine-readable zone; or if the valid passport was issued between October 26, 2005, and October 25, 2006, and includes a digital photograph. For more information, go to http://travel.state.gov/visa. Canadian citizens may enter the United States without visas but will need to show passports and proof of residence. Citizens of all other countries must have (1) a valid passport that expires at least 6 months later than the scheduled end of their visit to the U.S.; and (2) a tourist visa.
For information about U.S. visas, go to http://travel.state.gov and click on "Visas."
Medical Requirements

A snowstorm is forecasted for this weekend across the interior of the Northeast as well as New England. The May snowstorm has the potential to drop a foot or more of snow in some locations.
The storm will begin on Friday when a storm system moving into the Northeast will clash with bitter cold Arctic air courtesy of the polar vortex.
Some cities that could see snow include Syracuse, Rochester, Binghamton, Albany in New York; Scranton, Pennsylvania; and Burlington, Vermont.
The cold air that will produce the snowfall is forecasted to be record-shattering. Highs and lows will be 10-20 degrees below average this weekend, with that cold air stretching all the way into the Deep South.
By Saturday morning, 75 million people will wake up to temperatures below freezing. Widespread areas will see colder temperatures this weekend then they saw on Christmas Day.

ICCE has been effective in many countries to provide access to university, apprenticeships and employment. It is important, however, to note that acceptance is always at the discretion of individual universities and governments. Please check with the ICCE Office whether ICCE is accepted in your country before embarking on this course.
To see what some of our graduates have gone on to do, take a look at our Graduate Stories
Turning your dreams into reality
Accreditation International (Ai)
ICCE is independently accredited by Accreditation International (Ai) and the National Council for Private School Accreditation (NCPSA).
See More (PDF)
UK NARIC Benchmarking
A 2012 benchmarking study by UK NARIC reported that the ICCE Advanced Certificate was comparable to Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) Advanced Level (A Level) standard and that the General (Academic) Certificate was comparable to CIE Ordinary Level (O Level) standard. (*See note on benchmarking further down on this page.)
Turning your dreams into reality
ICCE students also have the option of obtaining dual-certification as ICCE has partnered with Lighthouse Christian Academy in the USA. Lighthouse Christian Academy is accredited by three accrediting agencies, namely Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-CESS), the National Council for Private School Accreditation (NCPSA), and Accreditation International (Ai).
UK Department for Education
The Department for Education in the UK has stated that they:
'…will include the ICCE General Certificates (with a score of 80% or above) and ICCE Advanced certificates (any score), in the list of qualifications that are deemed equivalent to GCSE grade A *-C in maths and English for the purposes of prior attainment. This means that pupils who arrive at a 16-19 provider or college holding these qualifications will not be required to study English and maths further in order to meet the condition of funding.'
Refer to the 'Notes on Individual Qualification Types' on the government funding website.
Turning your dreams into reality
Access to UK Apprenticeships
Apprenticeship Certificates England (ACE) accepts the ICCE qualifications as transferable skills for starts from 21st Sept 2018 and anyone currently still on the programme.
For more information on how to apply for an apprenticeship and what evidence is acceptable, visit the ACE website.
ICCE is currently working towards having the ICCE certificates either re-benchmarked or accredited.
We have a highly capable team working on this project. We are committed to pursuing recognition of the ICCE, and that requires either benchmarking or accreditation. We are in formal communication with NARIC and other international accreditation bodies as we seek to evidence the highest standard for academic credibility in education and the workplace.
We look forward to updating you on future progress in this important work.

Scholarship Named for SBE Founder
INDIANAPOLIS-- The founder of the Society of Broadcast Engineers, John H. Battison, P.E., CPBE, who passed away Aug. 28, is being memorialized with the creation of a scholarship in his name.
The John H. Battison SBE Founder's Scholarship will be presented to an applicant who seeks to enter or advance in the field of broadcast engineering. This announcement came from the Ennes Educational Foundation Trust on what would have been Battison's 97th birthday.
The trust, which represents the nonprofit arm of the SBE, is adding the scholarship to several others it awards annually. This scholarship recognizes that it was Battison's vision for a professional organization dedicated to the broadcast engineer that caused in the formation of the SBE in 1964. Battison served as the new organization's steering committee chairman and then as its first president.
The scholarship will be awarded to selected applicants who are currently in the broadcast engineering field and seek to expand their knowledge in media technology, or to a graduating high school senior who plans a career in broadcast engineering and will be attending a college, university or technical school.
"John Battison had a vision of an organization that would provide station engineers with technical education they could use in their work everyday," President of the SBE Ralph Hogan said. "I can't think of a better way to memorialize him than through a scholarship that will help young engineers advance their technical knowledge in our business."
Applications for the John H. Battison SBE Founder's Scholarship will be available by October 1, 2012 and can be obtained on the organization's website. The annual deadline for all Ennes Scholarships is July 1 with the announcement of the recipients made by the end of July.

If America needed another reason to press ahead with rules requiring corporations to be more forthcoming about executive pay, it arrived recently in the form of a study from the Harvard Business School. Researchers asked ordinary folks: How much more do you think a CEO earns compared to the average worker?
Regular people, being somewhat sensible by nature, reckoned a chief executive officer made about 30 times the average worker — not the entry level, mind you, but the average. Bless their little generous-but-aspirational hearts, that sounded pretty good.
Alas, they low-balled it. Badly. The average CEO doesn't earn 30 times or even 60 times or 90 times. In the United States of America, it's more along the lines of 354 times, with one company at 1,795-to-1, according to the authors. No wonder CEOs make the big bucks, it appears the rest of us weren't even aware of it.
What's especially interesting about the study is not only is executive pay in this country way out of whack but the perception of it is equally lopsided, an underestimate so big it's not found anywhere else in the world. In some countries like Australia and South Korea, people actually high-ball their guess, assuming pay is 41 or 42 times average worker when it's actually less.
That alone is reason for the Securities and Exchange Commission to press ahead with regulations that require companies to disclose this CEO-to-average-worker pay ratio. That statistic was promised by the Dodd-Frank Act four years ago, and the SEC has been slow to come up with exactly how the bookkeeping would work.
How tricky could it be? Well, do you count part-time employees or foreign workers? Do you count everyone or just use a statistical sample? Or do you use average wages in a corporation's particular industry? Uncertainty over such details have allowed critics to make the case that the results will inevitably be misleading and unfair.
The other big criticism is that the whole thing yields a fairly useless number anyway. Will investors make decisions based on this ratio? Will it only cause mid-level employees to feel pretty rotten about their job? Will it simply embarrass chief executives?
Actually, it's hard to say. One thing is certain: It won't single-handedly ameliorate the growing income inequality in this country, a circumstances that is not only causing social unrest but hurting the overall economy. We are in the midst of a historic wealth redistribution — primarily into the pockets of the wealthy.
When the rank-and-file can't afford to buy goods and services, the corporations that produce them are going to suffer. This lack of growth in the lower levels of the pay scale is one reason why the U.S. economic growth rate has been so modest during the recovery. Today, about half the people living in this country are defined as low-income or in poverty, and the gap between the 1 percent and the other 99 percent is the greatest it's been since the 1920s.
Four years to write regulations is enough. The rules proposed more than a year ago need to be finalized by the SEC by the end of the year if not sooner, as the agency's chairman has promised. That people continue to think so wishfully of their CEOs is reason enough to better educate the public about the sad reality.
Perhaps the Hamptons set will be a little embarrassed and consider the plight of their workers before accepting another bonus or stock option. Maybe investors will think twice about buying into companies like Activision Blizzard, maker of the "Call of Duty" video game, which paid its CEO $64.9 million last year. Or consumers will think twice about buying products from companies that treat their CEOs like kings but their workers like paupers.
Sometimes a little moralizing is a good thing. The U.S. ought to be a land of opportunity, not a return to feudalism. A whopping 27 more Americans made the list of billionaires this year, according to Forbes. In the last year alone, Bill Gates' wealth rose $9 billion to $81 billion, which is a mere 88 times the entire gross domestic product of Somalia. We're not asking CEOs to give it all back, just to admit to how lopsided it's all gotten.

After 32 years, Forest Park city manager to retire
As city begins process to hire new manager, former mayor says Ray Hodges "stayed on top of his game"
Forest Park City Council is taking on a task the city hasn't seen in more than three decades. City Manager Ray Hodges is retiring at the end of the year, and the search for his successor has begun.
The application process will begin in April, with internal and external applications considered, though the details of the criteria, as well as a specific timeline, are still being discussed among City Council. According to city meeting notes, a decision on the next city manager is expected by mid-July to early August.
The city manager is appointed by City Council as the chief administrator who oversees all city departments, prepares an annual budget, and enforces Forest Park's laws.
Hodges has served with several mayors during his tenure.
Brandon Wiers was mayor of Forest Park when Hodges was hired in 1985.
"Ray Hodges remained on top of his game since hiring in 1985, and he brought great credit to Forest Park over the years through the many people who trained under him and went on to jobs of higher responsibility throughout Hamilton County," Wiers said, "and through one-year terms he served as president of the Leadership Cincinnati Alumni Association and as president of the Ohio City Managers Association."
Former Mayor Wayne Coates reflected on his time working with Hodges.
"He had seven bosses to contend with and variable bosses every election cycle," Coates said, referring to City Council and the changes that each election brought. "Ray was always very professional."
Hodges helped Coates, who had worked in the private sector, to better understand government finances.
"He was a good resource, a trusted friend," said Coates, who served on City Council from 1989 to 1999, and as mayor from 1995 to 1999. Coates later served in the Ohio House of Representatives, from 2001 to 2002.
"He was always looking for the benefit of the city.
"The city was very blessed to have had someone of Ray's caliber," Coates said. "A lot of city managers don't stay that long."
Stephanie Summerow Dumas, who served as mayor from 1999 to 2005, recalled that Hodges didn't seek credit for his hard work or effective leadership, and was willing to share his opinion when asked.
"He was consistently prepared and did his homework," she said. "I was always amazed at how council would go round and round on an issue as he listened intently. When council would ask his opinion, he'd come up with a possible solution that no one even considered.
"He could provide the solution with only a few sentences. He is definitely an asset to the city of Forest Park and his impact will be evident throughout our history."

The versatility and sheer power of CNC routers has substantially impacted how many different shops approach their manufacturing processes. This is due to the functionality of modern CNC cutting equipment which utilizes easy to use CAD programs for the design of detailed pieces that are cut with absolute precision. The CNC router has become a prominent fixture in workshops and manufacturing processes due to its versatility and efficiency. The widespread availability of the router has allowed for several trends to emerge that have quickly and drastically changed the way many shops think about their production processes:
- Smaller Production Runs: CNC routers allow for the production of smaller and often irregular outputs, completed in a timely manner. Smaller production runs is not necessarily a bad thing for job shops, as it is the result of increasing technological capabilities of CNC equipment, allowing for variability in production processes opposed to producing a purely fixed output. CNC routers combined with user-friendly software programs allow users to tailor products to specific clients or maintain static outputs for general audiences.
- Shorter turn-around times: CNC routers are relatively easy to set up and implement into a manufacturing process resulting in shorter production times as well as reduced time in inventory. This allows shops operate on a just-in-time basis or another method that suits their needs. CNC routers help complete manufacturing processes in a shorter amount of time while using fewer materials, which is a very important factor for many cost-driven shops.
- Emphasis on Floor Space: Shop outputs have often been drastically limited by their floor space. Like many CNC routers offered by MultiCam, the machines are compact and versatile devices that help to eliminate the need for any additional production components, creating an all encompassing manufacturing unit. As a result, shops are thinking more strategically about their floor space and what production expansion opportunities exist as a result of this increase in space.
CNC routing machines are devices whose versatility and functionality are quickly altering the way many manufacturers are looking at their manufacturing processes. MultiCam's line of routers includes both 3-Axis and 5-Axis models, which can help create a sustainable competitive advantage capitalizing on some of the trends above.

Purpose: The purpose of the FDA Foundation's Emergency Disaster Grant Program is to help meet dentists' most urgent personal needs immediately following a disaster. A disaster is defined as a "sudden occurrence which inflicts widespread catastrophic damage to a large geographic area and/or which generally affects a large number of individuals." Disasters can be both natural and caused by human conduct. Examples include, but are not necessarily limited to: civil disorders (excluding acts of war), explosions, fires, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, tidal waves, wildfires, hurricanes, ice storms and similar natural disasters.
Immediate Needs: The use of emergency grant funds is limited to meeting disaster victims' most urgent and vital personal needs immediately following a disaster. Emergency grants are not intended for long-term needs such as rebuilding homes and buildings, or replacing household and personal belongings. Grant funds also cannot be used to replace lost income. Emergency Disaster Grant funding is not intended for replacement of dental practice property, dental supplies, staff salary, etc.
Emergency grants are to address immediate emergency personal needs such as:
Eligibility Requirements: Any dentist who is affected by a disaster may apply to the FDA Foundation for a grant if he/she is currently residing in Florida and meets one or more of the following requirements:
Applicants are not required to be members of the American Dental Association and Florida Dental Association in order to be eligible to receive a disaster grant.
Dollar Amount and Number of Grants Available: The grant award for any applicant may be in an amount up to $1,500. The dollar amount and number of grants made will depend on the number of applicants and the amount of funds available at any given time. The final decision regarding the number, timing and amount of grants is solely within the purview of the FDA Foundation Board of Directors. Grants for disaster assistance shall be awarded only once per applicant per disaster.
Application and Processing: The application must be completed and signed by the applicant. Since the purpose of these grants is to give a measure of immediate or proximate assistance, all requests for such grants shall be made within 60 days of the occurrence of the disaster. This time may be extended at the discretion of the Board.
The quickest way to receive funds is via ACH payment directly to your bank. ACH payment will be processed in one to two days to your personal bank account. The form is encrypted and secure, so your data will not be compromised.
In some areas, UPS is not delivering to residential homes because of damage - don't delay your Emergency Disaster Funds. Please consider checking the ACH payment.
Additional Information: If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact R. Jai Gillum at the FDA Foundation at firstname.lastname@example.com or 850.681.3629.
Certification by Applicant and Signature
By initialing below, I verify that the above information is true and complete and that I have a valid need for funds. I understand that a fraudulent representation or omission of any information requested is grounds for immediate refusal to grant emergency assistance. I understand that the granting of emergency assistance is neither a right nor entitlement and that the Board of Directors of the FDA Foundation shall have sole discretion in determining whether I qualify for assistance.

Averill departs for Southlake
After an extensive recruitment process within the IUSD staff, assistant principal Belinda Averill was named the new principal for South Lake Middle School, as reported by the IUSD website on April 30.
Among the other candidates, Averill stood out due to her excellent characteristics of a community-based leader.
Having attended Woodbridge High and been an IUSD employee for nine years, Averill is well aware of the needs and wants of each student and knows what it takes to make a middle school successful.
"She does a fantastic job of being a champion for the students; she really does look out for the best interest of the students that she interacts with," assistant principal Scott Sodorff said. "She goes out of her way to make sure that the students have everything that they need in order to be successful here at Woodbridge."
Although an exciting job awaits for Averill, she said she feels disheartened to leave behind the Warrior community and culture.
"[It is] bittersweet… while I am really excited about heading over to South Lake, I will really miss my Warrior family," Averill said. "It is the amazing relationships that I have forged with staff, students and their families."
Many students and staff members also said they feel hesitant to let go of Averill.
"She's a great leader and an even better person," senior Rayat Rahman said. "She has wonderful communication skills, so I think she will be the perfect fit for South Lake.
"It is a bit bittersweet, because number one, I love working with Mrs. Averill. I think she is fantastic; she has helped me out a great deal," Sodorff added. "I'm going to miss her greatly, but at the same time I'm very excited for her and the opportunity that this presents."
Averill's designated start date as the new South Lake principal is July 1.
The hiring process of a new assistant principal is in progress. Principal Chris Krebs and assistant principals Dan Ma and Sodorff will interview candidates during finals week.

You know the Manneken Pis?
At first glance, does the small country of Belgium seem a little inconspicuous? Compared to many other European countries such as its neighbours Germany and France, it is rather small. But if you think about Belgium, you come to mind more and more exciting things that make a cycling trip in Belgium extremely attractive. Then you realize that in this country great culture and scenic beauty are packed together in a relatively small space. And then at the latest . . . you would like to get to know the small country of Belgium. Just make it easy!
Many people know the Manneken Pis and the Atomium in Brussels, even if they have never visited the Belgian capital. Belgium is also a centre of European comic culture and Belgian chocolate is as famous as Belgian beers, waffles and fries. Ostend is one of the most famous seaside resorts on the North Sea coast, Antwerp is one of the most important centres of diamond trade and in cities such as Bruges and Ghent, an outstanding architecture testifies to the times when both cities were important centres of cloth trade.
And so there are many good reasons to visit Belgium on a bike trip or on a trip by bike and boat. Rückenwind Reisen offers you a range of attractive trips through Belgium and its neighbouring countries. Take a boat and bike trip through Belgium and the Netherlands to get to know cities such as Amsterdam and Bruges. Or take the Vennbahnweg through four European countries, each of which will inspire you. Look forward to a nice cycling holiday in Belgium or to wonderful days by bike and boat.
Experience a piece of Europe
Many of our bike tours through Belgium cross borders effortlessly. They will take you through at least two countries and will thus become a European experience that allows you to experience a united Europe. An example of this is our bike trip from Amsterdam to Bruges.
Amsterdam in the Netherlands is world-famous for its canals and for an outstanding flair that artfully blends high and everyday culture. From Amsterdam, we head to Bruges, the pearl of Flanders. The historical centre of the city has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000. One of the outstanding historical places of Bruges is the Great Market with the famous Bruges Belfry. The 83-metre-high bell tower dates back to the 13th century. Bruges is also a good place to get to know the Belgian brewing tradition. This is possible, for example, at the De Halve Maan Brewery, which is considered the oldest brewery in the city.
You will get an equally good impression of Belgian landscapes and culture on our cycling holiday on the "Vierländer-Vennbahn. " Alongside Belgium, you will experience the countries of Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Their route leads through the Eifel and the Ardennes. This makes the tours a bit more challenging than, for example, on the bike trip from Bruges to Amsterdam. But it's worth it, because the slightly mountainous landscapes are simply magnificent.
This can be seen in the Belgian town of St. Vith at the interface of the Ardennes and the Eifel. More than forty percent of the city's area consists of forest. Numerous hiking and biking trails invite you to go on excursions; and also culinary St. Vith has a lot to offer: Look forward to delicious and typical dishes of the region.
Only Belgium: What more does it need?
If you want to focus almost entirely on Belgium during your cycling trip, you should book our cycling tour in Belgian Flanders, which includes a trip to the sea. Worth seeing destinations of the trip include Antwerp, Ghent and Bruges. Nature is just as interesting as the cities: for example, in the river landscape of the Leie, which meanders as far as Ghent and flows into the Scheldt. Towards the end of this cycling tour, we head to the Belgian seaside resort of Knokke, which belongs to the Belgian town of Knokke-Heist. Here, the coast and beaches offer you plenty of opportunities for a swim in the sea at appropriate temperatures. But even on cooler days you will have a lot of fun in the beach bars and walks by the water.
Belgium and more: on the road by bike and boat
In addition to pure cycling trips in Belgium and its neighboring countries, von Rückenwind organizes boat trips and cycling trips through Belgium and the Netherlands for you. Like the previously presented bike tour with the same starting and finishing point, these tours take you from Amsterdam to Bruges. However, during the cycling and boat holidays, you will stay on a boat, on which you will also receive food.
During the day you are on the road by bicycle and cycle to your destination, where the ship is already waiting for you. As an alternative to the bike tour, you can always decide to stay on board the river cruise ship during the day. We organise cycling and boat tours with selected boats that offer you the best conditions for a pleasant stay.
You can usually use a sun deck to relax in good weather while the beautiful river landscapes pass by. A ship like the MS Fluvius also offers an elegant panoramic lounge. Enjoy a family atmosphere and good facilities.
For boat and bike tours in Belgium and the Netherlands, you can choose variants with individual or guided bike tours. For an individual bike tour, you can use the information and maps prepared by us as well as – if required – GPS data also provided by us for your navigation device. With this type of tour you are more free to decide where you want to spend how much time..
On the guided bike tours, however, you are traveling with a tour guide in a group. Here you can often get to know your fellow travelers better. In addition, the tour guide will provide you with exciting details about the destinations you are visiting. Both bike trip variants are appealing. And which of the two is the more appealing is always an individual decision.
Which bike tour in Belgium do you choose?
Would you like to get to know Belgium better during a holiday? Then take a look at our offer for bike and boat or pure bike trips in Belgium. All trips developed by us or our partners have been prepared with great attention to detail so that you can enjoy a wonderful holiday.
The destinations, accommodation, food, travel information and service provided by our staff are all carefully selected elements of an overall concept that has already made it possible for many people to enjoy an unforgettable holiday by bike or by boat. See for yourself: A holiday with tailwind Travelling is a dream holiday: in Belgium as well as in all other countries where we organise holidays for you. See for yourself.
