The image below shows one of the problems: There is nothing wrong with the TOKEN, it was a paste from the email reset url and YES, I did check for white space in the pasted field. The problem is that I DIDNT READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
It would really be helpful if the web page maintainer added the phase 'must click on Terms and Conditions".
Even a genuine MVP'er at Microsoft support fell for this trap when asked why I could not put an X in a [ ] when registering with a new email using Microsoft Edge. We both thought it was a problem with the browser. Instead it was, IMHO, a poor sense of humor by your web page maintainer. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/forum/all/unable-to-put-an-x-in-a-box-on-a-form-at-the-amd/34ef92e8-8fb6-495d-8558-e0ea4d8057ea

A bride has gone viral after she was captured in a video as she abandon the groom on her wedding day, stating that she don’t want to get married again.
The bride wore her bridal gown and was seen leaving the venue of the wedding barefooted as guests tried to get her back to the wedding event. She was heard saying she’s no longer interested as the groom watched on in the video.
Guest and passersby in the video tried to talk to her to know why she suddenly changed her mind but all their effortless were fruitless as she didn’t give the reason.
She was heard saying in pidgin English, ‘‘I no wan marry’‘ as she tried to walk away from the venue in her bridal gown. One of the people in the video was heard saying ‘‘why don’t you tell him before this day that you don’t want to marry, why today?”
Another commentator in the video mocked her saying, ”Aunty! Marry ooo”
The reason for her change of mind wasn’t revealed in the viral video.

Global Change and Agriculture
For the remainder of the twenty-first century, and probably well beyond, our global climate will change. The Earth will become warmer, especially in mid- and high latitudes. Most areas will have more precipitation, although higher temperatures will often bring more summer drought stress. Extreme events—heavy rainfalls and high winds—will be more frequent. How will global climate change impact agriculture? (Figure 10.1)
In general, higher temperatures will increase the productivity of most mid- and high-latitude crops by lengthening their growing season. But once temperatures get too high, the effects will be negative as heat stress reduces growth. Global warming is also expected to reduce minimum temperatures. This will be beneficial for many mid- and highlatitude crops but detrimental to some tropical and equatorial crops.
On the other hand, a significant CO2 fertilization effect will occur as atmospheric CO2 concentrations double. Because CO2 is present in the atmosphere only in low concentrations, CO2 limits photosynthesis in many situations. With higher CO2 concentrations, plants become more productive. This fertilization effect is well documented in many studies, both in greenhouses and by free-air release of CO2 gas upwind from agricultural fields.
What are the combined effects of rising temperatures and increasing CO2 on crop yields? In general, recent studies show that if warming is less than about 2.5°C (4.5°F), yields increase, but if greater, yields decrease. However, the predicted changes for different crops and regions vary significantly.
An important factor affecting yields is adaptation. Adaptation describes actions that respond to climate change, such as changing planting and harvesting dates, selecting different strains of crops, changing the crops that are planted, adding or modifying irrigation, and using more or different fertilizers and pesticides.
Studies show that adaptation can mitigate many, but not all, of the negative effects of predicted changes in temperature and rainfall. Other factors are also important. Soil degradation, which includes erosion of productive soil layers and chemical depletion of nutrients, is a major challenge. Irrigated land is increasing, but so is irrigated land that is degraded by salt accumulation and waterlogging.
Soil erosion will increase as more frequent high-rainfall events induce rilling and gullying. Wind deflation of productive soils will also increase if global warming enhances wind speeds. Insect pests will migrate with climate change, inflicting new regions but possibly leaving old ones. Weeds are stimulated by warm temperatures and higher levels of CO2, and in some cases, will compete more effectively with crops. For livestock, climate change will affect the nature and availability of forage and grain, as well as animal diseases and parasites.
What are the likely effects of global climate change on food availability and food prices? So far, agricultural production has expanded to meet the needs of the world's expanding population. Will it keep pace with demand? Most studies predict that with global warming greater than 2.5°C (4.5°F), demand will exceed supply and food prices will rise. Vulnerable populations, such as marginal farmers and poor urban dwellers, will be placed at greater risk of hunger. However, if adaptation
to climate change is effective, these risks will be reduced.
Agriculture is a human activity that is essential to us all, and the effects of global change on agriculture will be significant as our climate warms and CO2 levels rise. Let's hope that our species is smart enough to adapt to the changes and provide an abundance of food for all.

I was looking at a billboard of the average credit score in our area, and it was about 661 points. Your credit score is based on your willingness and/or ability to repay your debts. I thought of how there are some debts that cannot be repaid. These are kindnesses that made a difference at a crucial time in our lives. You just know that nothing you can do can ever express fully your gratitude for what t those persons have done for you. To simply say thanks is not enough.
Twelve years ago, I had a number of struggles each day. My youngest son, Mac, had just had a heart transplant, and he had been in the hospital for over three months. I had his two daughters, ages 8 and 12, so each day began with getting breakfast ready for them and driving them to two different schools before I left for the long trip to the hospital by car, train, and bus. I spent about eight to ten hours a day at the hospital with Mac.
I was trying to finish my doctorate, because I only had one more semester of financial aid available. I was stressed to the maximum, and I was having some problems breathing. When I walked my granddaughter up the hill into her school each morning, I could barely breathe on the way back to my car. I thought I was just overweight at 170 pounds and not getting enough exercise.
I eventually went to the doctor. But after seeing two different doctors and taking a lot of medications, I was getting worse, not better. Finally, the day we had prayed for came and we knew that Malcolm was coming home in three days, which meant more time for me to rest my body, soul, and mind. So, Mac looks at me and said, “Mama, you can leave and go back to the doctor. You know that I’m going to be alright.”
I had went to a doctor that Douglas recommended and he had given me breathing treatments. He told me to come back in two days if I were no better. I went so Mac wouldn’t be upset and stressed. When I walked into his office and he heard my labored breathing, he said that I needed a chest x-ray. But, as a graduate student, I had no health insurance and Douglas’s health insurance would not pay for it without prior authorization.
Looking anxious, he said that he would do it for free. When he looked at the x-ray, he asked me how I had come to his office. I told him by bus, and he was shocked. He said that I had a collapsed lung with a mass in it, and that my lung had been collapsed for a while. He said that I should have been dead at least three weeks!
Then, he had his nurse drive me to the nearest trauma hospital, sending the X-rays with me. He was correct, and after a morphine shot, a very kind doctor inserted a tube to reinflate my left lung. That doctor told me that it was nothing short of a miracle that I was still alive. He could not believe all the things I had been doing each day and had not lost my life. I joked that I was too busy and had too many people depending on me for me to die!
The mass seen was was my lung. The young doctor had probably never seen a completely collapsed lung before. I was in the hospital for nine days. It felt so good to breathe again. We take breathing for granted, because it just happens without any assistance from us.
As I laid in the hospital, I thought about how close I had come to dying. I knew that I owed a debt to that young doctor who did not allow my lack of health insurance to prevent him saving my life. How do you repay the gift of breathing? What can you say to someone who gives you a second chance to be with your family? There is no way. It is a debt that can never be repaid.
I did go back to thank him, wishing that I could have at least paid him for the x-ray. He was just glad that I was alive. When we are in Atlanta again, I hope to go see him to thank him all over again.
As a Christian, I understand better than most the concept of a debt that cannot be repaid, for Jesus, who knew no sin, died for my sins, so that I could have life abundant on earth and eternal life after death. I don’t forget that I couldn’t have paid the price for eternal life either, for it took the blood of the sinless Lamb of God to accomplish that feat for us.
No amount of money could repay Him for such a courageous and loving act as giving His life for us. It is also a debt that can never be repaid. But I can spend my days in gratitude and praise for the many victories over death I have experienced, for it was not fortuitous that I was steered to the right doctor at the right time. It was part of God’s plan for my life that I am still in the land of the living.

In Canada, four ways exist to structure your business:
While regarded as the most straightforward way to set up a business (having fewer start-up costs, less paperwork, more direct control, and minimal working capital needed), it also means that as sole proprietor, you are personally liable for the activities of your company.
You will find yourself in a position of unlimited liability, which means should debt arise, your creditors will have the right to claim against all your personal AND business assets. This occurs because a sole proprietorship is not a separate legal entity from its owner.
In this case, a legal contract is usually prepared to define the terms of the partnership and how the profit-sharing will work. A partnership is also not a separate legal entity from its owners. Two types of partnership exist in Ontario:
No personal liability for the debts or obligations of the company is assumed by the owners (shareholders)—their liability remains limited to the value of their investments. A corporation has more of a continuous existence than a sole proprietorship or a partnership as its lifespan is not tied to specific individual ownership. Two types of corporations exist in Ontario, and they can be incorporated at the provincial or federal level.
A corporation where members with similar needs have organized to create a business structure through which they can either obtain or share certain products or services.
In a cooperative, each member is voluntary and has an equal democratic say in the running of the business. A cooperative returns limited interest on investment and distributes its profits to members in relation to the extent of their patronage.

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that accumulate within the thin membrane inside the ovary. These cysts are non-cancerous. But when left untreated for longer than it can lead to some serious complication. It is not a very severe condition but one
If you experience abnormal spotting apart from your normal period cycle then it can indicate ovarian cysts. Sometimes it can be due to other factors but it is also a symptom of ovarian cyst.
Nausea and vomiting are common indicators of pregnancy but if you are not pregnant then it can also indicate ovarian cyst. Hormonal imbalance can be the possible reason behind this condition.
As the cyst will take some space inside your abdominal, it can create a feeling of fullness. You can feel heaviness in the abdominal which can lead to a feeling of fullness all the time. You may not feel hungry very easily.
This symptom can be observed very easily. If you experience leg and back pain without any reason then ovarian cyst can be the one. The pain will be constant and generally continues for more than one or two days or even more. In such a situation you must visit a doctor to find out the actual reason behind the pain.
Some changes in urination like frequent and urgent urge to go to the bathroom or burning after urination can indicate ovarian cyst. But there can be other reasons behind changes in urination. Hence you should get yourself checked as soon as possible.

Many years ago I discovered Ayurveda. This is a holistic system that offers guidance on how we can care for our bodies in a comprehensive way. It is a science for life and for living it well. When I discovered it, I was still practicing yoga and this was an excellent way for me to explore and try to understand body types. The doshas, while their descriptions were phrased in ancient language, still made enough sense for me to understand some key aspects of my own body.
The dosha that best describes my body is Pitta. It is considered a fiery dosha and is often easily inflamed. This means that I get rashes easily, suffer with inflammatory problems like sinusitis, bronchitis, tonsillitis and ear infections. These are conditions that I have experienced for most of my life. The big one I have now is food intolerance. There are a number of foods which cause my sinuses to become inflamed whenever I consume them and so I have had to eliminate them from my diet over the years.
Only recently I was reminded that what I call being easily irritated, actually translated to me being angry and annoyed on a regular basis. This translates into me being highly stressed most of the time. What’s interesting about this is, that usually no one can tell that about me.
Over the years, I have trained myself to speak in a calm manner, especially when I am upset. I am convinced that this is the only way that anyone will be able to hear me. Therefore while I am appearing to be calm and unbothered by things, my body is being irritated by the stress that is running through my mind, the problems that I am trying to solve and the ideas that I am trying to develop. According to ayurveda, my mental energy is Vata, which is always restless, quick and finding it difficult to settle down.
To deal with these stressors in my life and to find a way to calm my mind, I have learned to eliminate some of the factors that ‘set me off’ and I have learned to incorporate deliberately calming practices for those that cannot be removed. I have also started to just respond differently to some situations. Ranting and raving at other drivers on the street who seem to be endangering my life and their own, does not help the situation. So I strive to be grateful for avoiding the collision and keep moving on. I also always have music playing in my car. Unfortunately I cannot be calm and listen to the news at the same time.
So as I move forward this year, I intend to explore more of the practices of ayurveda with a view to incorporating them into my life. I always remembered that I should not eat very spicy foods because they irritate agni for me. Which was good because I never liked the burn that hot peppers provide. However, I have often violated the rules of not consuming hot and cold things together. I have never been able to calm my mind enough to get still and quiet in meditation. My best bet has been to create a peaceful environment with no distractions and calming sounds.
So during this period of change, there will be much to learn, to explore and to try to implement. Including Ayurvedic hair and skin care. I look forward to the journey.

I went on a field trip with my daughter to the Grand Village of the Natchez Indians, and let me tell you…it was wonderful! There were different demonstrations about the lives of the Natchez Indians, and the kids really enjoyed them. One of the boys’ favorites (naturally) was about how the Natchez made tools and weapons. It was really very interesting.
They also really enjoyed seeing what a teepee looked like….
As well as a reproduction of an original Natchez Indian home….
One of the fun demonstrations was given by men who were dressed like trappers and traders and explained how Europeans lived as they traveled the area during times of exploration and settlement.
There was a small, but informative, museum that also had a few interactive activities that the kids enjoyed. And, a wonderful thing about the visit…it was absolutely free! I definitely suggest it as an outing to help your family understand a bit more about the history of our state and nation. Just be sure to call ahead and check for the schedule of demonstrations…you don’t want to miss them!

If there’s one thing every borrower must do when looking for a mortgage, it’s go rate shopping. You shouldn’t assume the offer you received from one lender is the only offer you’ll get. It may not be the best offer either. Wouldn’t you rather shop around to see what others lenders might offer you?
Many people are worried about shopping around because it will affect their credit score. While it’s true that your score will be affected, there are ways around it.
Understanding the Hard Inquiry
First, you should understand the difference between a hard and soft inquiry. A hard inquiry is the one that you see on your credit report. It’s the one that affects your credit score. A soft inquiry, on the other hand, doesn’t affect your credit score and other lenders won’t even know it happened. So when does each inquiry occur?
- Hard inquiry – Lenders initiate a hard inquiry when you are serious about applying for the mortgage. This isn’t just a preapproval where you are trying to see what you can afford. You actually complete the mortgage application and submit it to the lender.
- Soft inquiry – Lenders initiate a soft inquiry when they are just trying to get an idea of your credit score/credit history. They aren’t actually lending you any money at this point.
When you are ready to apply for a mortgage and start rate shopping, you will have hard inquiries from each lender on your credit report. Again, while this could hurt your credit score, there are ways around it.
Generally, you have a short window to complete you rate shopping. This means you shouldn’t apply for a mortgage with Lender A today and then not apply with another Lender for another 2 months and think you won’t be hit with two inquiries.
The credit bureaus recognize the need to shop around, but they expect you to do so within a matter of weeks. If they see too much time in between your applications, they won’t know if you applied for a mortgage on the same property or if you are trying to get funds for another property. As long as you shop within a short amount of time, lenders will generally count your applications as one inquiry.
Think of it like this, if you apply with four mortgage lenders, chances are you are not trying to get four mortgages. The credit bureaus understand this. But if you had inquiries from four different credit card companies, there’s a good chance you could now have four brand new credit cards to use. That’s potential for a lot of debt. Each of those inquiries would likely count as separate inquiries, damaging your credit score quite a bit.
In general, one credit inquiry hits your credit score 5 points. Again, when you shop around for a mortgage, though, you’ll likely only get hit once for shopping around.
Now that you know that you can shop for a mortgage with multiple lenders without hurting your credit score, it’s important to know how to do it. There is a right and wrong way!
Take the following steps to help you get the best mortgage rate:
- Find at least 3 or more lenders to get a mortgage quote from
- Shop within a 2-week period so that the rate quotes you get are similar based on the timeframe
- Shop with different types of lenders, such as banks, credit unions, and mortgage brokers
The bottom line is that your credit score will be affected when you go rate shopping. Just how much it is affected depends on you, though. If you do it smart and shop within a short time span, you’ll likely only see a 5-point difference in your credit score. That small of an impact won’t do much to your credit score or your ability to secure a mortgage.

As a critic, there is the rare occasion where you see a film and think “my god, this movie is going to be HUGE!” I speak in relative terms, of course, as Brittany Runs a Marathon won’t earn a Marvel-like gross during its opening weekend at the box office. But I’m absolutely positive that no matter how long it takes, whether it’s immediately upon its theatrical release or years down the road, that Brittany Runs a Marathon will become a beloved film by many. I’m firmly in charge of driving the bandwagon for this film, so hop onboard! There’s always room for more!
The following review will be spoiler-free.
Directed By: Paul Downs Colaizzo
Written By: Paul Downs Colaizzo
Brittany (Bell) is a young professional in New York City who is struggling to make ends meet. Though she has a job, it doesn’t pay well enough, and she lacks the drive to make necessary changes to get her life back on track.
Brittany is on the verge of a complete breakdown after a failed doctor’s trip to score some Adderall leads to her looking inward about her health and well-being. But with a few friends looking to overcome some problems of their own, Brittany decides to train for the New York Marathon, which, in her own mind, will in turn fix other pieces of her life.
Amazon Studios is Pushing Hard for More Premium Content
Jeff Bezos’ indie shop purchased five films at this year’s festival, which is more than any other studio. Three of their purchases — The Report, Late Night, and Brittany Runs a Marathon — were among the highest purchasing amounts too, with New Line’s $15 million purchase of Blinded By The Light being the only purchase to eclipse them. (The Report, Late Night, and Brittany Runs a Marathon sold for a reported $14 million, $13 million, and $14 million, respectively.)
But even better, all five of their purchases (including Shia LaBeouf’s Honey Boy and the harrowing documentary One Child Nation as well as the three mentioned above) are critically lauded. With this spending spree happening almost concurrently to reports that writers are working on Amazon’s Lord of the Rings series under “lock and key,” we’re starting to see that Amazon means business when it comes to keeping up in the never-ending battle for content among streaming services.
Jillian Bell Finally Has the Leading Role She Needed and Deserved
I can’t say that I’ve loved every single one of Jillian Bell’s performances. In fact, I’ve found that many of her supporting performances have been abrasive, and even annoying. Though I also can’t say I blame her when it’s so obvious that she’s handling underwritten material. Still, she’s always notable and memorable as a comedic force. At the very least, she’s always a performer that forces the viewer to take note.
Brittany Runs a Marathon shows what a great script can do for Bell as she offers the best performance of her career. I don’t say that lightly, either. (Or for the clicks!) Paul Downs Colaizzo allows Bell to improvise on a regular basis, but it’s consistently in tune with her character and her vulnerabilities. Bell often defaults to a silly voice when it comes to improv in a lot of her films, and Colaizzo blends it into her character in Brittany Runs a Marathon in a delightfully thoughtful manner. Though the film has its moments of broad comedy, Brittany and the characters around her stay grounded and true to themselves.
Bell’s arc in the film is one of the more thoughtful and magical ones in mainstream cinema that I’ve seen in a long time. It’s full of all of that movie magic that those that like to get swept off their feet in a swell cinematic grace of enjoy with enough substance and care for cineastes to appreciate.
The Central Problem of Brittany Runs a Marathon is Incredibly Relatable
Positive body image is a constant struggle for so many people on a daily basis. If you’re a human, you’ve felt uncomfortable in your body at one point or another. I know I certainly have.
Brittany’s character is often an audience analog, as she expresses the uncomfortable pieces learning to live healthy in all of its awkward glory in a way that is always authentic. Like most of us, she wants to dive head first into the deep end when it comes to becoming healthy. She wants all those drastic changes — to feel healthy, confident, sexy, and merely happy — but it’s all so daunting and scary when attempting to make it a reality. The thought of running one block and making a fool of herself is at the forefront of her mind at all times. For Brittany, it feels like a Herculean effort to just lose a few pounds.
In the end, all of it is a distraction for her true goal: to feel happy in her own skin. Brittany Runs a Marathon is incredibly thoughtful in this way. Losing the weight was never going to solve all of her problems. We see this in her troubling, neurotic tendencies that develop throughout the film when it comes to improving her physical appearance. As with all things, it’s all about finding that perfect balance. Simply having a positive and happy disposition is one of the best traits that Brittany (and all of us) can have.
Brittany Runs a Marathon Has a Great Chance to Breakout and Become a Hit
I will be utterly shocked if this movie isn’t embraced by mainstream audiences. Seriously! BRAM hits all the beats of a wonderfully sneaky hit with charming performances, a deft emotional touch, smart comedy, and feels as far as the eye can see. It teeters on full-on schmaltz by its third act, but at that point, Brittany’s journey is so touching that it really doesn’t matter.
I see Brittany Runs a Marathon as this year’s Crazy Rich Asians. Not in terms of plot or racial significance, but in how it will connect with similar audiences who will rush back to theaters again and again to see it. I sincerely hope that Amazon Studios gives this movie that chance.
Brittany Runs a Marathon is one of those films that comes around every so often that you can’t help but enjoy. It’s full of larger than life characters and an endless amount of wit and heart that is wholly inspiring and heartwarming. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Jillian Bell in some of her smaller roles, but this is finally the performance that will endear her to millions of moviegoers. I adore her arc in this film; she pulls it off in a way that only she could accomplish.
If Amazon Studios puts enough of a marketing push behind this film, it’s destined to be one of the biggest fan favorites of the year. This is how you tell a heartwarming, true story in 2019.

When talking about how beneficial it is for children to take computer programming courses, it’s easy to focus solely on the practical side of things. With robots and AI looking like the future of so many job markets, it absolutely makes sense to teach a child to program. In 10-20 years, programming may be one of the few jobs left that’s easy for people to get hired for!
However, children actually receive many more benefits from learning to program! Programming is a sort of “all brain” activity, which stimulates just about every part of their brain, and that pays off with some surprising -and highly beneficial- side effects!
Four Surprising Benefits from Choosing Computer Programming Courses for Your Child
- Practical problem-solving skills
In many ways, programming is truly all about problem-solving. We use computers and robots to solve problems in our everyday lives, and programming boils down to solving the basic problem of “how do I make a computer do the thing I want it to do?” A child who has learned to program will be well accustomed to seeing a problem and genuinely seeing it as a challenge to overcome, not an obstacle to be avoided.
- Analytical thinking
If there’s one form of thinking that seems to be in short supply these days, it’s analytical thinking – and that’s a problem. The future will need people who can look at problems or challenges and analyze them, breaking them down into their component parts, looking for solutions. This is a skill which programming reinforces every time a programmer is at their computer.
- Logical thought
Another key mental skill reinforced by programming is formal logical thinking. That is, the ability to look at a program and break it down into a series of steps, 1 – 2 – 3, which lead to the solution. This isn’t merely a skill for programmers, it’s a life skill which can be applied to any problem which might appear.
- “Can do” creativity
Creativity in children is great, but which is better: the sort of creativity that leads to daydreaming? Or the type of creativity which leads to actual innovation? Programming is empowering to children, teaching them that they can dream up new ideas and then make those ideas real.

In microeconomics, the elasticity of demand refers to the measure of how sensitive the demand for a good is to shifts in other economic variables. In practice, elasticity is particularly important in modeling the potential change in demand due to factors like changes in the good’s price. Despite its importance, it is one of the most misunderstood concepts. To get a better grasp on the elasticity of demand in practice, let’s take a look at a practice problem. Elasticity Practice Problem
This practice problem has three parts: a, b, and c. Let’s read through the prompt and questions. Before trying to tackle this question, you’ll want to refer to the following introductory articles to ensure your understanding of the underlying concepts: A Beginner’s Guide to Elasticity and Using Calculus to Calculate Elasticities. And function for butter in the province of Quebec is Qd = 20000 – 500Px + 25M + 250Py, where Qd is quantity in kilograms purchased per week, P is price per kg in dollars, M is the average annual income of a Quebec consumer in thousands of dollar, and Py is the price of a kg of margarine. Assume that M = 20, Py = $2, and the weekly supply function is such that the equilibrium price of one kilogram of butter is $14. a. Calculate the cross-price elasticity of the demand for butter (i.e. in response to changes in the price of margarine) at the equilibrium. What does this number mean? Is the sign important? b. Calculate the income elasticity of demand for butter at the equilibrium. c. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for butter at the equilibrium. What can we say about the demand for butter at this price-point? What significance does this fact hold for suppliers of butter?

When I write down the short list of things that are most important in my life, making music and being mindful always make the cut (along with spending time with family, reading (learning), writing (inspiring), and practicing self-care). Yet, I currently don’t have a regular practice for either of these activities. (Weird!)
Music in March
I sang a bunch during the holiday season—both with an amazing community choir of friends who come together to sing an eclectic mix of music and with my daughter and her friends at a couple of different church services. Since then, I’ve barely touched the piano or sung a note (except for hymns during church and chapel and sometimes in the car).
I’m not sure what happened, but somehow, I haven’t made time for music. Maybe I was mourning the passing of Christmas. Or perhaps it was because I no longer belonged to any organized singing group. And I was sick for a while (singing with a stuffy head and nose is not my idea of fun…).
Regardless, this needs to change. It’s time to make music again—to sing alone and with others. I’m getting a great start on this by visiting a dear friend who was part of a women’s ensemble that I led over a decade ago. We’re music friends. This weekend, we’ll sing together and reminisce about those years when we sang our hearts out with Common Souls.
When I get back home, I’ll make time to sit down and sing at the piano. It will be good. Maybe I’ll even start singing in a choir again (or maybe I’ll wait until I finish my book). I was reminded this week that singing in a group is good for your health in a number of ways, including decreasing stress and reducing symptoms of depression. So singing can even be considered self-care!
Mindfulness in March
This week, I’ve been working on a chapter in my book, called “Calming the Mind and Being Part of Something Bigger,” that describes psychosocial ways to combat mental distress in children and teens. The first section discusses the benefits of mindfulness practices such as meditating on the breath, mindful yoga, walking meditation, and the body scan. Observing your thoughts without judgement and being fully present improves mood, emotional self-regulation, and ability to focus (among other things).
Even though I have a few regular breath and mindfulness practices, e.g. yoga, everyday mindfulness, and daily 4-7-8 breathing, I would like to go deeper into mindfulness practice during the month of March using Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program as detailed in Full Catastrophe Living. I’ve downloaded the first set of practices from iTunes, and I’m ready to go!
(I guess I’ll know if it’s working next time I go for acupuncture—last time, my tongue had evidence of stress.)
Music can really be a form of mindfulness practice. In fact, when I play piano and sing, my mind is less likely to wander than when I read or even write. You can also develop a mindfulness practice when you listen to music and are fully present with the music.
Do you have a regular mindfulness practice? I’d love it if you’d share in the comments.

After the mass shooting in Las Vegas that has left nearly 60 people dead, the question now arises as to what the country can do to ensure that mass shootings don't continue to happen. U.S. Representative Rodney Davis (R-Taylorville) feels the focus should be on doing more to help mental healthcare in the country.
Davis says although the United States has already enacted mental health reforms at the federal level, more still needs to be done.
Davis, who was involved in a mass assassination attempt himself in June, says enacting stricter gun control legislation won't solve the issue.
Davis says he hopes Americans can unite on the issue to find a way to stop the mass shootings from happening.
Davis appeared as a guest on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show.

As we are prepping for the arrival of our newest addition this Spring, I’m figuring out my way around the aisles of every baby store known to mankind and quickly figuring out which brands I love. One of those brands that I am loving is Boba Family, which is why I am so excited to announce that I am a blog ambassador for Boba!
Boba has five main awesome products right now: The Boba Carrier 4G ($128), The Boba Air ($65), The Boba Wrap ($38), The Boba Vest ($55) and The Boba Hoodie ($70). There are also several different accessories you can find from Boba, like the Boba Mini (so your little one can look just like Mama wearing her dolls!), teething pads for your carrier, a Stuff Sack and replacement parts.
Boba was nice enough to send me The Boba Carrier 4G in Dusk as a welcome gift, so be sure to check back for a full review on that once Baby R arrives in April! I already can’t wait to use it on her, and I know Mr. R will love it, too, because it looks much more masculine than a wrap, and will give us the support and safety we need to babywear all the time!
The company says, “Boba designs thoughtfully crafted products for active parents who want the time and freedom to create a real and caring bond with their child, while living life to the fullest.” You can really see this mission come through in the products they sell, and I am so excited to be an advocate for this brand! Visit Boba at http://www.bobafamily.com/ and be on the lookout for more from my ongoing relationship with Boba!
Disclosure: I’m a Boba Ambassador. I participate in Boba events and online conversations, and receive thank you gifts for my participation, but all opinions and experiences expressed are my own.

The Ollie is a real-life skateboarding trick where the skateboarder pops the skateboard into the air. The effect is the skateboarder jumping with the skateboard stuck to his or her feet. This allows skateboarders to enter a position to perform mid-air tricks from the ground.
History[edit | edit source]
The Ollie originally started out as an aerial skateboarding trick, invented by Alan Gelfand in 1976. The Ollie was later adapted to flat ground by Rodney Mullen. The Ollie serves as a basis for many other skateboarding tricks, such as the heelflip, kickflip etc., which require the user to be in the air to perform.

Mashone Parker, Malik S. Henfield
The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine school counselors’ perceptions of vicarious trauma. Consensual qualitative research (CQR) methodology was used. Six school counselors were interviewed. Three primary domains emerged from the data: (a) ambiguous vicarious trauma, (b) support system significance, and (c) importance of level of experience. Supervision, discrepancies with burnout, and implications for counselor educations and school counselors are discussed.
Keywords: vicarious trauma, consensual qualitative research (CQR), school counselors, support system, counseling experience
Trauma occurs after a person experiences an event that involves or threatens death or serious injury, or a threat to self or other’s well-being (Trippany, White Kress, & Wilcoxin, 2004). Exposure to traumatic events and psychological stress has been found to be associated with significant physical and mental health concerns (Briggs-Gowan et al., 2010). Children and adolescents, particularly those growing up in poverty-stricken areas, are increasingly susceptible to traumatic events such as bullying (Lawrence & Adams, 2006; Newman, Holden, & Delville, 2005), community violence (Fowler, Tompsett, Braciszewski, Jacques-Tiura, & Baltes, 2009), and abuse (Reilly & D’Amico, 2011). For example, children ages 12–17 have been found to be more than twice as likely as adults to be victims of serious violent crimes (Snyder & Sickmund, 2006). Furthermore, every year millions of children and adolescents in the U.S. are exposed to violence in their homes, schools and communities (Finkelhor, Turner, Ormrod, Hamby, & Kracke, 2009). In addition, according to recent reports, homicide and suicide were found to be the second and third leading causes of death for persons ages 15–24 (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2008–09).
Whether working in a school or mental health setting, there is a chance that a professional counselor will work with an individual who has experienced trauma (Trippany et al., 2004). School counselors, however, by virtue of working in schools, have even more direct contact with youth who may have been exposed to traumatic events. As a result, they are likely to be the first counseling professionals with whom traumatized students come into contact. Functioning as the first line of intervention for students in crisis makes the school counseling position one of vital importance to students’ positive development (Chambers, Zyromski, Asner-Self, & Kimemia, 2010). Exposure to students who have experienced trauma puts school counselors at particular risk for internalizing students’ emotions associated with traumatic events. This process of internalization is otherwise known as vicarious trauma (VT), which is associated with professionals developing harmful changes in their view of themselves, others and the world (Baird & Kracen, 2006).
If a counselor begins to over-identify with a client’s issues they can experience the client’s pain, sadness or distress (Skovholt, 2001). McCann and Pearlman (1990) found that some counselors experienced symptoms similar to those associated with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) such as nightmares, anger and sadness related to their clients’ traumatic experiences. Clinicians working with sexual abuse victims, for example, may experience feelings of stigmatization and isolation which may be closely aligned with clients, the actual victims of the abuse (Canfield, 2005). Little is known about counselors’ ability to manage VT (Harrison & Westwood, 2009), but some extant literature can be reviewed.
For example, factors such as level of experience (Way, VanDeusen, Martin, Applegate, & Jandle, 2004) and educational training (Adams & Riggs, 2008) impact the prevalence of VT. Seminal articles examining VT concluded that counselors with more clinical experience have a buffer in preventing VT (Pearlman & Mac Ian, 1995). Adams and Riggs (2008) conducted a study with 129 therapist trainees. The purpose of their study was to explore the relationship between vicarious traumatization among trainees and variables recognized as potentially influential in this process among practicing therapists (i.e., history of trauma, clinical experience, trauma-specific training), and to explore the relationship between defense style and vicarious traumatization symptoms, as well as its possible interaction with the previous three factors in relation to reported symptoms. Consistent with previous research, the researchers found that novice therapists/counselors may be more vulnerable to experiencing VT (Adams & Riggs, 2008).
Level of peer support and supervision also play a role in buffering symptoms of VT (McCann & Pearlman, 1990). Supervision practices that address VT have been encouraged (Woodard, Meyers, & Cornille, 2002). Specifically, trauma-sensitive supervision is seen as helpful in minimizing the effects of vicarious exposure to trauma (Sommer & Cox, 2005). As Sommer and Cox (2005) conclude, multiple perspectives, collaboration, a calming presence and attention to self-care are most helpful when examining the supervisee’s perspective of adequate supervision. Clinicians must work through painful experiences in a supportive environment. McCann and Pearlman (1990) have suggested that weekly case conferences can be helpful for clinicians that use two-hour weekly support groups aimed at conceptualizing difficult victim cases (with client consent) and exploring personal meaning for themselves related to how they respond to the painful experiences of their clients. Other studies have identified coherence and organizational support as being linked to positive responses to stress (Linley & Joseph, 2007).
There is some overlap between conceptualizations of VT and burnout (McCann & Pearlman, 1990). Burnout is described as the result of the stress that working with difficult clients can produce, and is seen as having three content domains: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishments (Jenkins & Baird, 2002). There lies a feeling of complete overload which in turn may affect the counselor’s work performance. Burnout also can be described as a general reaction to feeling overwhelmed, where vicarious trauma is related to specific traumatic events. Moreover, Trippany et al. (2004) shared that many counselors who work with trauma patients may experience burnout and vicarious trauma simultaneously.
Most research related to VT focuses on mental health counselors and social workers. Little, if any, published research literature has examined this phenomenon among school counseling professionals. Exposure to a child’s trauma is usually described as more challenging for professionals when compared to adult trauma (Figley, 1995). Therefore, school counselors, by virtue of their work setting, may be at great risk for experiencing VT.
The primary purpose of this study was to investigate counselors’ knowledge and perceptions of VT. The information gathered in this project will increase the level of understanding and awareness of vicarious trauma on school counseling professionals, allowing school counselors to implement strategies to ameliorate the effects of vicarious trauma.
Participants were individuals who met either one of two criteria: (a) persons licensed or certified as a school counselor, and/or (b) individuals endorsed as a school counselor and currently working in a school. Six school counselors ranging in age from 27 to 54 were recruited from schools located in a midwestern state (3 females and 3 males). Participants worked at least part-time with 3 to 14 years of counseling experience. Four of the six participants graduated from a master’s degree program accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs. All participants were European-American. In addition to school counseling experiences, participants had a range of other work experiences including mental health and social work.
Due to the exploratory nature of the study, convenience sampling procedures were used to recruit participants (Marshall, 1996). A recruitment e-mail was sent to individuals on listservs serving school counselors in a midwestern state. Those interested in participating in the study replied to the e-mail indicating their desire. Once the e-mail was received by the primary researcher, participants were e-mailed a consent form and asked to sign and return it to the primary researcher. A verbal consent was then given at the beginning of each interview.
One phone or Skype interview was conducted with each participant. Each participant was emailed a copy of their transcriptions verbatim (member checking) to ensure participants’ voices were being heard and interpretations were accurate. Through member checking, participants were able to identify areas that may have been neglected or misconstrued (Lietz, Langer, & Furman, 2006); all participants verified the interviews were accurate. Asking for participant feedback helps build rapport between the researcher and participants and establishes trustworthiness (Williams & Morrow, 2009).
As Patton (2002) writes, qualitative researchers are the major instrument of data collection, and their credibility is critical. The research team consisted of two individuals: a counselor education doctoral student (primary researcher) and an assistant professor in counselor education. An advanced counselor education doctoral candidate served as an auditor, whose role was to verify findings developed by the research team (Patton, 2002). One researcher had prior experience performing CQR investigations.
Trustworthiness refers to the quality or validity in qualitative research (Morrow, 2005). Staying aware of biases related to being a human instrument (Patton, 2002), as well as avoiding getting enmeshed in the data are important for qualitative researchers. Biases may arise from demographic characteristics of the researchers or values and beliefs about the topic. One potential bias for the study was one team member being familiar with the research on VT and possibly having preconceived expectations before analyzing data. The use of a research team of two researchers helped foster multiple perspectives (Hill et al., 2005). An external auditor and member checking strategies also were employed to ensure trustworthiness of the data (Patton, 2002).
The purpose of the external auditor in CQR is to ensure that the research team did not overlook important facts in the data (Hill, Knox, Thompson, & Nutt-Williams, 1997). During the data analysis process, the researcher engaged in an audit trail that described the specific research steps. An audit trail is an important part of establishing rigor in qualitative work as it describes the research procedures (Johnson & Waterfield, 2004). This audit trail was given to the external auditor who verified domains and core ideas.
Based on a review of current literature on vicarious trauma, a semi-structured interview guide was constructed. The interview guide included demographic questions as well as open-ended topics related to participants’ perceptions and understanding of trauma in relation to its impact on school counselors. Some examples of interview questions used are as follows: How do you define Vicarious Trauma (VT) of counselors? To what degree is VT a problem in the counseling profession? And, who do you believe to be at greater risk for experiencing VT? Specifically, the study was concerned with gaining an understanding of how participants perceived the importance of VT as an issue in the school counseling profession. Interviews were conducted by either Skype or telephone as a cost-effective means of collecting data (Hill et al., 1997). Each interview lasted 30 to 60 minutes. All interviews were taped and transcribed verbatim.
The data were analyzed according to CQR methodology (Hill et al., 1997). In CQR, the goal is to arrive at a consensus along with other research team members regarding data classification and meaning. Grounded theory was the most influential theory in developing CQR. Although CQR combines aspects of various qualitative approaches, there are some factors that differ and provide its uniqueness. For example, unlike grounded theory, CQR emphasizes the use of research teams rather than one judge (Hill et al., 1997). CQR researchers also code data in domains (i.e., themes), then abstract the core ideas of each participant. Coding of the data was completed individually by the research team. Each researcher read all transcribed interviews and wrote what he or she thought to be the core ideas that captured each interview. Categories were developed from core ideas across all participants within each domain (Hill et al., 2005). These core ideas were identified as pertinent in the lives of these school counselors and were verified by the external auditor. Categories mentioned by all participants (i.e., all six counselors) were thought to be “general.” Those categories with more than half, but not all of the respondents were considered “typical” (i.e., 4–5 out of 6 counselors); those with half or fewer respondents were considered “variant” (i.e., 2–3 out of 6 counselors). Next, a consensus was reached regarding the core ideas captured from the data, followed by the auditor examining the resulting consensus and assessing the accuracy of the coding and core ideas. Finally, the research team reviewed the auditor’s comments to verify all findings (Hill et al., 1997).
This section outlines three domains that emerged from the data: (a) ambiguous VT, (b) support system significance and, (c) importance of level of experience. These findings shed light on participants’ perceptions of the meaning of VT, as well as ways to avoid it and effectively respond to it should it occur.
Vicarious Trauma Ambiguity
In general, participants had an idea of what VT entailed, but for the most part it was ambiguously defined. One participant referred to it as taking on the issues that students or clients have and “carrying those things home.” Also, the counselor explained it was about living the experiences clients are living. Another counselor reported that VT occurs without realization.
Participants’ past experience was indicative of their understanding of trauma and VT. Specifically, those individuals who had previous social work careers (two participants) or a mental health background (one participant) had a greater knowledge of VT and its effects. They reported having more trauma training in their previous graduate programs when compared to their school counseling programs.
Typically, participants stated that they did not know much about VT, with three counselors reporting it to be synonymous with burnout. One counselor shared that VT was learned after participating in a research study exploring the topic. Another counselor shared that he did not have a clear understanding of VT, but assumes it refers to how he reacts to students with serious issues. Burnout was mentioned sporadically, but for some the concept served as a key feature of their understanding of VT. For example, one participant stated not knowing a ton about the topic, but understanding it as burnout, as did another participant. One counselor shared that VT was viewed as transference and that transference was something often discussed in graduate school.
Support System Significance
In general, school counselors reported that support systems are significant and needed to help alleviate vicarious trauma symptoms, or prevent it from occurring. Typical reports suggested they viewed peer supervision as quite useful for dealing effectively with VT. For example, one participant stated the importance of having others around who are willing to tell you when you are too close to a case. Another participant responded that counselors also have to be willing to accept an evaluation from staff members and others with similar career experience. Similarly, one participant discussed obtaining ongoing support from various avenues within the school environment to prevent her from experiencing VT. This counselor noted providing time for counselors to be with one other in a group setting or one-on-one consulting as a particularly good way to garner support for school counselors. This participant thought supervision would be helpful, but was not sure how to go about seeking it. Essentially, finding time to talk through issues was the most helpful thing to do according to this participant.
Someone or something to help unwind was viewed as a significant means of support. Participants explained that support also can come in the form of family or those not involved with the mental health profession at all. Furthermore, one participant noted that having an outlet such as an athletic or creative activity could be viewed as a form of support as well.
In addition, another participant shared the importance of a supportive work environment. According to this individual, without a healthy work environment VT can easily occur. Other participants also spoke of experiences with administrators and other staff at their workplace. For example, one participant addressed this support, sharing the fortune of having an administrative team to watch one another. They discussed keeping an eye out on issues and problems that colleagues may be experiencing, including VT.
Interestingly, participants also suggested that separation between work and home also has the potential to help alleviate these symptoms. According to one participant, “you must leave your hat at the door,” while another stated that once home, it was necessary to decompress and separate from work. Another school counselor felt as though technology created a hindrance in the separation of school and work. This participant felt that counselors should give themselves permission to separate themselves from work if they so desire. It was recommended that school counselors be given permission to separate themselves from work by not being forced to respond to e-mails and other forms of communication once arriving at home. As this school counselor noted, people have the ability to make contact at any time of day if they are allowed. This participant felt it is important not to give out phone numbers, or only give a personal number to those you trust will not abuse it.
Level of Experience
Generally, participants agreed that level of experience determined counselors’ risks of experiencing VT. Experience was perceived in a number of different ways ranging from formal training to work/life experience, with all participants mentioning how either life or work experiences helped them avoid or overcome VT.
Relatedly, many participants also discussed how either a lack of training or the need for more training could be related to how school counselors experience VT. Five out of six participants discussed the importance of receiving more training, or having an open discussion about their negative reactions to other colleagues or supervisors. Three out of six counselors shared that they had no classes related to trauma from their school counseling training. As one participant stated, not much training was offered and they wished more classes could have been taken on VT. A lack of life experience also was said to place a novice counselor at great risk for VT. One participant voiced concern about a student going straight into a master’s program with little life experience. Concern was voiced about students that go straight from a baccalaureate to a master’s program without taking time to live and work. According to this participant, inexperienced school counselors are unaware of the challenges they will face upon entering the counseling profession and may be more susceptible to VT. Similarly, another participant talked about how her relationship to the profession changed after four years as a school counselor. This school counselor discussed going home really frustrated or angry, feeling like more should have been done for students when starting out as a school counselor. Eventually, this counselor noted that work as a school counselor started to come together and that patience was important when working with children. This school counselor discussed frustration and anger as being signs of VT. This individual also felt that after more experience in the counseling field, symptoms such as these begin to vanish.
One participant mentioned a desire to save the world after graduation, which is typical of most new school counselors, but did not always work in the counselor’s favor. This individual felt that it only made the job more difficult when he realized he could not save every child he encountered. Another participant shared that new school counselors are often shocked because they haven’t seen as many issues as more seasoned counselors. However, this participant also shared that working with the issues kids face became easier each year, and the shock associated with hearing students’ issues decreased.
The purpose of this study was to explore school counselors’ knowledge and perceptions of VT. Consistent with the literature regarding preventive and protective measures of VT (Adams & Riggs, 2008), these counselors named newer helping professionals as particularly susceptible to VT. They also discussed factors such as types of support systems and amount of experience with VT as playing a role in preventing VT. This finding is consistent with the research as well, which concludes that as level of support and work experience increase, the counselor is less likely to suffer from VT (Chrestman, 1999; Skovholt & Ronnestad, 2003; Sommer & Cox, 2005). All participants mentioned collaboration with other counselors as a primary means of averting VT. This finding suggests that counselors look to one another for assistance. Forming peer groups and having consultations with other staff within the school environment appeared to be vital in the lives of these participants. McCann and Pearlman (1990) support this notion and have stated the importance of counselors seeking potential sources of support in their professional networks, and that activities such as case conferences can be beneficial to counselors.
Participants proposed that lack of training on the topic made them more susceptible to experiencing VT, which is supported by literature on VT (Pearlman & Saakvitne, 1995). Studies have indicated that as level of experience, education and post-graduate training increases, trauma symptoms in counselors decrease (Adams & Riggs, 2008; Sommers, 2008).
School counselors discussed the difficulty associated with being a beginner counselor and how, with experience, one learns to set boundaries as a method of protecting oneself from VT. They also shared the strong relationship between life experience and being an effective counselor, which is vital to warding off VT symptomology. This finding is consistent with the literature that concludes that newer, more novice therapists may be more vulnerable to experiencing VT (Adams & Riggs, 2008). Many participants discussed how their level of confidence in their work increased over time. Previous literature and findings from the current study suggest that newer professionals may need more support for VT when starting their careers. Scholars have referred to helpful practices such as conferences (McCann & Pearlman, 1990), support groups or supervision (Sommers & Cox, 2005) as useful.
Supervision, although discussed in the literature as an alleviating factor in preventing VT (Sommers & Cox, 2005), was not salient in the current study. Only one participant discussed supervision as playing a role in preventing VT. The other school counselors did discuss that support from peers and administrators were helpful, but not supervision practices. This is worth mentioning, as supervision is one of the key methods counselor educators use to train counselors. It is not known if these counselors viewed support as part of supervision or if they do not see this as being available to them. For example, one participant spoke about an interest in forming peer supervision groups, but did not feel knowledgeable enough to do so.
Some participants stated they did not know much about VT, while others assumed it was similar to burnout. Vicarious trauma and burnout, although sometimes used simultaneously throughout the literature, have some differences in how each is displayed. Burnout may progress gradually, whereas vicarious traumatization can sometimes seem abrupt in onset with little or no knowledge of early recognition (Jenkins & Baird, 2002). Participants who compared VT to burnout did not distinguish any differences in the two constructs. Although not the focus on this study, one participant mentioned personally experienced symptoms related to VT (which this participant described as burnout). This finding suggests that counselors are aware of both VT and burnout. Burnout is a term documented throughout the literature, making it more accessible to counselors’ understanding of occupational stress and hazards.
The findings suggest that counselors feel unprepared to work with trauma cases due to lack of training in their master’s programs. Although the counselors in this study were able to form a working definition of what VT entailed, they wished they possessed more knowledge on the topic. What is important is that these counselors reported that with adequate support from one another they can help prevent or alleviate symptoms of VT. These school counselors also felt that as they become more settled in their profession, they are more apt in dealing with difficult case loads. This suggests that novice counselors should receive more support from colleagues, administrators and others in their professional network. The changes that occur when a counselor experiences VT may have a direct impact on the students they serve, therefore making it salient to address in both the school counseling profession as well training programs.
Implications for Counselor Educators and School Counselors
School counselors make an outstanding contribution to our society through serving our children. An awareness of VT may allow school counselors to implement strategies to ameliorate its effects. The information gathered in this project will increase the level of understanding and awareness of VT on school counseling professionals. VT is a phenomenon that has gained increasing attention in the counseling literature (Hafkenscheid, 2005; Harrison & Westwood, 2009; Sommer, 2008; Way et al., 2004). The findings seem to suggest school counselors feel they lack adequate knowledge and training regarding VT.
Findings from this study also suggest that it would be useful for counselors, especially those working with trauma survivors, to gain more knowledge and awareness on the topic. Counselor educators should offer more training in their counseling programs to increase awareness of VT and other trauma-related topics. For instance, school counselors in the current study expressed a need for more specific training related to VT or trauma in general. Courses related to trauma may be useful for fostering counselor growth (Sommer, 2008). Supervision also can be a reliable source for providing awareness of VT (Sommer & Cox, 2005) since supervision is used to monitor supervisees’ level of functioning and growth (McCann & Pearlman, 1990; Woodard Meyers, & Cornille, 2002).
The counselors in this study expressed the need for support in their work environments. School counselors should maintain collegial relationships as well as offer support to peers within their work environments. Peer groups, weekly case conferences and consultation may be useful for counselors to maintain their wellness and avoid experiencing VT (McCann & Pearlman, 1990). School counselors are in a good position to initiate support for students in their learning environments because they have direct access to children. Therefore, adequate training of school counselors is essential.
Limitations and Future Research
As with all research, there were limitations associated with the current study. First, Skype interviews may have generated pertinent information; however, such interviews were not feasible or accessible to all participants. Subtleties in body language cannot be accounted for during phone interviews. Future studies could include all Skype or face-to-face interviews. Second, given the limited understanding most participants in this study had on the topic, it may have been difficult for them to understand the prevalence of VT in the counseling field. It is possible that what they described as being VT in other school counselors can actually be symptoms of burnout, which the research concludes is different (Jenkins & Baird, 2002).
The current study provided an overview of the phenomenon and also some implications for both school counselors and counselor educators. There has not been much research supporting specific forms of treatment for VT and it should be examined further in the future. Research examining how individuals overcome symptoms of VT may be helpful for counseling professionals. Such research would provide others in the counseling field with a knowledge base that may be helpful in preventing the phenomenon. Since research on VT tended to focus on mental health professionals, social workers or trauma workers, future studies could specifically focus on preventative strategies for school counselors. Such information may elicit responses that capture how school counselors understand and experience VT, which could offer a clearer picture of what training programs can do to recognize and prepare for combating VT prior to entering the profession.

Tips to Soothe Irritated Intestines After the Stomach Bug
Question: My 2-year-old daughter had a stomach bug over the weekend. Monday she was feeling a lot better and yesterday she was back to herself. However, last night she vomited before going to bed. Could this be from overeating on an empty stomach after being sick?
Answer: Oftentimes, the stomach is easily upset after a stomach bug. The intestines need to heal after being sick but it can be a slow process after an infection. Your intestines are especially sensitive to eating too much, too soon, even after the actual infection has passed. It sometimes takes three to four weeks after a stomach bug before the intestines are fully healed.
“Low and Slow”
The phrase we use in our family and our medical practice is “low and slow” – meaning “go low” in consuming spicy and greasy foods, and especially foods with artificial colors or artificial sweeteners. Also, healing intestines are more prone to being sensitive to highly allergenic foods, especially wheat. You’ve probably heard of “leaky gut” in adults, which simply means the intestinal lining, having been injured, allows larger food molecules to pass through and the immune system fights them as foreign molecules that don’t belong there. This is why for a week or two after your child has a stomach bug you should feed her only real foods, not packaged, artificial foods.
Next, “go slow” with getting back to her usual volume of meals. We call this the Rule of Twos: Eat half as much and chew twice as long. Grazing rather than gorging is much easier on healing intestines. You may find your child likes smoothies even more while her intestines are healing. Check out recipes on AskDrSears.com

As a developing food hub, AVTTS is working to create partnerships and strengthen inter-agency collaboration to support initiatives and action towards greater food security in the Alberni-Clayoquot Region. Core functions of the hub are to build community awareness and knowledge about food and food systems, develop partnerships in the community and across the island and build capacity to increase food security.
In 2012, AVTTS developed a Community Food Assessment which serves as an inventory of where we are at with Food Security in the Valley.
Presently looking at developing a Regional Food Action Roundtable, in April 2015, AVTTS organized an AVTTS food security workshop report april 2015 which brought together groups and organizations from across the region to discuss what a food secure Alberni Valley looks like and how we are going to get there.
Seed Distribution and Education
Each year at the Canada Day Parade on July 1st the Alberni Valley Transition Town Society has a float in the parade and distributes seeds to parade-goers. Then again at the Annual Fall Fair the first weekend in September, Transition Town Food Group members are out with information, gardening tips, farm materials, activities for children, and more.
Need some seed? The Port Alberni Public Library now boasts a seed library thanks to a partnership between the Port Alberni branch of the Vancouver Island Regional Library and Alberni Valley Transition Towns Society.
Borrow some seed, grow some vegetables, collect some seed, and return some seed – that is the premise of the new seed lending library. With a goal of maintaining local seed lines the library also ensures that everyone has access to seeds to start a pot or backyard plot. Thanks to the generous support of S alt Spring Island Seeds, West Coast Seeds, Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, and localgardeners/farmers for donating seed the library is established with a variety of seeds from beets, to lettuce, peas and marigolds.
West Coast Growers Guide
Building off of the Farm Directory, Alberni Valley Transition Town Society partnered with the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District and the Alberni Valley Times (and then the AV News) to create the first ever West Co ast Growers’ Guide. The guide provides a listing of local farms, markets, and agricultural businesses as well as giving gardening tips, water saving tactics, a planting calendar, and a map to help you get around.
Some other projects that the Alberni Valley Transition Town Society has helped with and supported include:
Current project to garner official school board endorsement of school gardens throughout SD 70 in order to develop a more comprehensive school garden strategy for the region and hopefully build some more school gardens in the future!
Family Farms Day
Coordinated by Parks and Recreation and now the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District, Family Farms Day is an opportunity for people of all ages to get out and visit some of the local farms. Many farms host activities for children, farm gate sales, and farm tours throughout the day. Stay tuned for the date of the annual event. Generally held in September.

New Mexico’s new State Land Commissioner, Stephanie Garcia Richard, recently revived the Sportspeople’s Advisory Committee, originally established to help guide the Commissioner's decisions on hunting, camping and other public uses of some 9 million acres of state trust land.
The committee, which had been dissolved by the previous land commissioner, met in Santa Fe this May and will continue to meet throughout the year. The commissioner and several members of her staff spent two hours with the group and specifically asked for hunters' opinions on some key issues -- camping, access and the annual lease fee the State Land Office charges the Department of Game and Fish. This was an introductory meeting, so no decisions were made, but it shows the Commissioner is interested in hunters' concerns.
The committee is led by Steve Henry of Las Cruces and comprises a diverse stakeholder group including representatives from Mule Deer Foundation, Trout Unlimited, NM Wildlife Federation and NM Council of Outfitters and Guides, as well as individuals from Farmington, Las Vegas, Roswell, Silver City, Las Cruces and Albuquerque. BHA is well represented on the committee with both NM BHA Chairman Joel Gay and BHA Southwest Chapter Coordinator Katie DeLorenzo holding seats.
We commend the Commissioner for taking a proactive approach to working with the hunting community and look forward to collaborating with her office in the future to the benefit of sportsmen and women, our outdoor economy and education.
NM BHA Chairman, Joel Gay
BHA Southwest Chapter Coordinator, Katie DeLorenzo

Manager Phil Parkinson, his assistant Steve Parkin and first teamers Karl Henry and Mark Howard paid a special visit to Derian House Children's Hospice on Monday afternoon in line with the organisation being named as the club's National Charity of the Year for 2017/18.
The quartet made the short journey to the hospice, located in Euxton near Chorley, for a special event to mark Derian's relationship with the Whites this term.
Upon their arrival, they were greeted by Mick Croskery, Community Fundraiser for the organisation, and Susie Poppitt, Head of Fundraising, with the latter leading the group on a tour of the facility, meeting staff and youngsters in their care along the way.
Culminating in The Lodge, which caters for young people aged up to 25, the manager, Steve Parkin and players enjoyed cups of tea with the staff with Mark Howard even taking on a number of the residents at FIFA.
Speaking following the visit, manager Parkinson said, "We've really enjoyed coming down here today - it truly is an inspirational organisation.
"The staff are so positive and it is such a bright and happy place. You can see exactly why the club have supported Derian House for so long because it is a great cause and all the work that the staff do with the youngsters and their families is incredible and it is great to see it first hand.
"Derian set the benchmark for children's hospices around the country and it is a really worthwhile cause for our club to support, while they'll have their designated matchday against Cardiff City on December 23 with a bucket collection.
"Hopefully we can raise as much money as possible and give the children and their families the support that they need and deserve, while the players will be back here next month for their annual Christmas visit.”
Susie Poppitt echoed the manager's sentiments by adding, “The children and young people were so thrilled to meet everyone from Bolton Wanderers.
"Once again BWFC have pulled out all the stops to support us here at Derian House. The club sits at the heart of the community in Bolton, just as Derian House is at the heart of the community here - it is indeed the perfect partnership.”
Derian House is renowned throughout the region as being at the forefront of children’s palliative and respite care.
Families who have a child with a life shortening condition can choose from a range of care and support services to meet their family support and end of life care need, either at home, or in Derian House.
The emphasis is on giving support to children and their families and providing them with choices which deliver an approach to care as individual as they are.
Derian House has an enviable reputation in setting exceptionally high standards in children’s hospice care.
With a catchment area covering the whole of Lancashire and the South Lakes, it is currently supporting more than 300 families who have a child or young adult suffering from a life shortening condition, as well as providing bereavement support for a further 200 families.

Coquitlam SAR was asked three times this week to assist Ridge Meadows SAR with a search for a subject who fell into Gold Creek at the upper falls.
On Wednesday evening the Helicopter Rescue (HETS) team was scrambled for a possible rescue early in the search. At this point members of Maple Ridge Fire Rescue, and BCAS Air Ambulance were on scene as well as Ridge Meadows SAR. As reported by Global News, the 23 year old woman had fallen into the water at 4:30 PM. The subject was not located.
On Thursday, Coquitlam SAR’s HETS and Swift Water Rescue teams were activated to support Ridge Meadows SAR for a hazardous search of the deep canyon between the upper and lower falls on Gold Creek. North Shore Rescue and RCMP Air 1 were on scene as well, assisting in the search.
On Saturday, Coquitlam SAR’s Rope Rescue team has been requested to support Ridge Meadows for further operations in Gold Creek.
This search comes just weeks after Coquitlam SAR’s HETS team became active as a result of an arduous process of fundraising, training, and certification. This is the first time the team’s long line rescue capability has been requested. We believe that one of the many values of this rescue technique is to provide a safety system for SAR members in hazardous terrain, which was exactly the situation on this task.
It also represents activation of three separate technical rescue capabilities Coquitlam SAR trains for: Rope Rescue, Swift Water Rescue, and Long Line/Helicopter Rescue. In all 15 members of the team responded over the three days of the operation.
Coquitlam SAR and Ridge Meadows SAR often work closely together, requiring each other’s services through “Mutual Aid,” a process where any of BC’s 80 SAR teams can request resources. This is a command practise throughout BC, with teams assisting each other sometimes from hundreds of kilometres away.

Health services in North Wales have been "getting worse" since the Welsh Government stepped in to rescue the failing Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.
It was put under government supervision in June 2015 but according to Aberconwy AM Janet Finch-Saunders patients are still being let down as waiting times grow.
She said: “Since the Welsh Labour Government took Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board into special measures, the number of patients waiting over 36 weeks for treatment has risen by 983% in orthodontics, 388% in anaesthetics, and 267% in cardio-thoracic surgery.
“Given that the Welsh Government seems so patently incapable of improving the performance of the beleaguered health board, perhaps it should be up to Assembly Members – possibly via an emergency committee – to performance manage the Welsh Government.”
She added: “The systematic failure of Welsh Labour in government is evident in the crisis facing our healthcare system – one in seven are lingering on a waiting list, and 127 patients are currently left waiting more than 105 weeks for treatment they urgently need.
“It isn’t hard to see why the Nuffield Trust has said that these lengthening waiting times should ‘set alarm bells ringing’ for policy makers.
“I am approached almost daily by constituents concerned about the length of time they are forced to wait for vital operations and treatments.
But a spokesman for Health Secretary Vaughan Gething hit back, blaming cuts by the Conservative Government in Westminster for the service’s problems.
“Not only is it insulting to our hard-working staff to talk of a crisis, but it’s plain wrong.
“This winter, the time when the Welsh NHS is under greatest pressure, our NHS continued to improve. This simply isn’t the case in England.
“The Tory underfunding of health and social care in England has led to a crisis in social care that means councils are having to put up council tax by as much as 15% just to keep services going.
“In Wales, Welsh Labour are making different choices. We have invested in the NHS and social care and taken tough decisions to ensure that people receive the best possible care.”

NORTH Wales Crusaders head coach Clive Griffiths has asked fans to be patient as the new club acclimatises to Championship One.
Crusaders slumped to back-to-back heavy defeats in the league with Sunday’s 54-18 defeat to Rochdale Hornets, and the former dual-code Wales coach admits there will be some rocky times ahead.
Griffiths said: “We were in the game for a while, and then the floodgates opened after they were able to achieve back-to-back sets; which was a bit surprising after the way we beat Toulouse. But we’ve got to take it on the chin.”
Crusaders’ Anthony Morrison and Rochdale’s Gary Middlehurst were both sent off following a confrontation, and Griffiths said: “Anything that could have gone wrong did from my perspective – particularly the sending off.
“No-one wants to be beat in that manner but the main thing is that we grow from it. It’s a long old season at the end of the day.
“We’ve dropped our standards again, but we’ve got to dust ourselves down and go again.”
CRUSADERS’ Easter Monday’s Welsh derby against South Wales Scorpions is to be televised live.
The Racecourse clash, which kicks off at 5pm, is being screened by Premier Sports TV (Sky Digital channel 433).

The construction industry today is fuelled by technology, on and off the job site. Accessing and using this technology is crucial to success and a good device is a necessary tool. Your PC device is your connection to the modern construction project, from design and site plans, to layout and design drawings, to project management and scheduling information.
In order to access and use the software and applications taught in the Donald J. Smith School of Building Technology programs, every student needs a reliable and compatible device. You do not have to buy from a specific vendor or manufacturer and Fanshawe College does not endorse or recommend any specific machine or supplier. Students are free to find the best device that meets the published specifications for your program and any individual needs you may have.
Students need to have their device ready for the first day of classes and be familiar with the operation and function of their machine. Software and applications will be available in the first few days of the semester and be in use during classes almost immediately. Students will also take their devices on their Co-op semesters and use them as permitted or required by their employer.

When Tomago Aluminium decided to install Potline No. 3 at its smelter near Newcastle, it entrusted the engineering, procurement and construction management services to a joint venture in which Fluor provided construction management and project controls.
A total of 280 new smelting pots were installed, expanding the plant's capacity from 240,000 to 400,000 tons per year to make it the largest aluminum smelter in Australia.
On announcing state government approval for the expansion, the Minister for State Development, John Hannaford, described the project as ‘the biggest single industrial project to be undertaken in New South Wales in a decade'. The original smelter's construction had set the previous milestone.
Construction spanned two years. Tomago Aluminium had stipulated the priority was minimum capital cost: the project was completed under budget and hailed as a significant success.

Am packing, send boxes! and Jaffa Cakes!!
We are packing, splitting up fragments of our life into cardboard boxes. We are trying to do this whilst keeping the house looking tidy and clean for any potential viewers, so the boxes are stacked in the garage. Not ideal but it’ll do for now.
We’ve had one viewer, who will be back for another viewing soon hopefully, and two other hopefuls. So, once again, we’ll make the bed, tidy up as we go, and generally live in a house that is already starting to feel less and less like ours.
Which, given the circumstances, isn’t a bad thing. Easing our way into the future.
In other news, went to see Kick Ass at the cinema yesterday (it was something to do as we had to be out of the house anyway). What a brilliant movie! Well written, didn’t take itself too seriously and hey, what other movie has a small girl with kung fu moves, a predilection for knives and guns and who utters the line … ok, no spoilers, just drag over this gap if you wanna know what she says (contains swearies!) “Okay you cunts… Let’s see what you can do now! “.

Everyone has heard the saying “good things come to those who wait” or maybe you’ve heard of the marshmallow test given to children. Likewise, delayed gratification is a major part of investing. Chasing an asset class that just had a winning period or selling one that experienced a losing streak can wreak havoc on a portfolio.
The current volatility in the stock markets reminds me the value of having a game plan and sticking to it. No asset will go up forever; almost everything is cyclical. If you are patient and stick it out, however, odds are the outcome will be positive. If you go back 10 years ago, the unpredictable asset class was housing and, eventually, the entire stock market. About 20 years ago it was the technology sector. At those points in time, if you got out at the bottom and didn’t get back in in a timely fashion, you may still be feeling the effects.
Timing the market is very difficult for two reasons:
- You must make a precise decision when to get out and,
- You must make a precise decision when to get back in.
Given trade conversations and rising interest rates, we will likely see more volatility in the stock markets than many are used to. However, having a plan and diversifying your investments are great places to start to help you feel more comfortable or prepared. Investing in a broad array of stocks, bonds, and money market instruments (yields now above 2%) can do a lot to spread your risk.
One last note, thank you for your patience. This past year we converted a key piece of software, remodeled our office, and changed to a new recordkeeper for our 401(k) plans! We realize there are some short-term hiccups, but in the long-run these updates will be positive for those we serve. Thank you!

Working on sound-libraries since the mid 1990ies, I managed and realized dozens of projects in the field of synthesizers, digital pianos or hard- and software-based plugins. During the years I did several sample-sets in GM-, GS- or XG-format, as well as complete commercial products e.g. based on Native Instruments´ KONTAKT engine.
Sound Development for DREAM ICs. Most of the hardware-related projects make use of DSPs by DREAM, namely the SAM 2000 series (SAM 9708, 9407) or DREAMs latest addition to the family: the all-new SAM5000 series ICs (SAM 5916, SAM 5716, SAM 5808, SAM5504 or SAM 5704) allowing the use of gigabytes of sample-storage – awesome!

Outfit: Dress – Fashion Nova, Slides – SJP, Fanny – Nastygal
This summer was all about tie die, leopard, tiger and much more prints that were fun to wear. Even though the season is about to change the prints are stronger than ever. But one thing I loved is wearing tie die just because it was so easy to match in between my shoes collection as well as bag and accessories. I won’t lie that if I can wear them in a different dorm I would . This summer has been nothing but the best ever. My wardrobe was super colorful and fun. Also keep in mind guys it’s hot out still and summer ends September 21. So let’s wear some color, prints and enjoy every bit we can.
This dress is from fashion nova and it fits like a glove. I love the style on the front of it and how mini it is. I won’t lie that I enjoyed every mini dress or skirt when this summer because I felt sexier than ever. I don’t hide my curves or anything in my body because it’s part one me and who I am. That’s also my message to you all. Never stop loving who you are and the things you want to wear for no one. Wear it with love and embrace that body. If and when you come out in contact with any type of style you like just go for it. I used to be so scared to wear certain things and now I’m just like who cares. I wear it anywhere I want to. It’s your body and being confident is more important that anything in my opinion. Additionally, I’ve been absent because fashion week started September 5th and ends the 13. My Instagram has been full of stuff and I’ve been super busy. But no worries I have lots of looks under a budget for you lovers to enjoy. Looking cute should not cost a thing. Use some from your closet and play around with it. Therefore, I hope you all have been enjoying this summer and any fun events around the city. As always thank your for stopping by and visiting the site. Xoxo love2bcouture !!!

Not that I actually want to learn how to be violent....
One of the biggest challenges I face as an author is never to stay in one place. I need to be growing, changing, to continue learning new things.
In the spirit of learning new skills, I spent a good portion of today focusing on violence. That sounds rather terrible, but it is what I did. I write a lot of action packed sequences and adventure stories. However, violence is one of my least favorite things in this world. Because of that, I tend to simply gloss over the fighting and do my best to ignore it in favor of emotional level character development. I have come to the realization, though, that if I am going to write the kind of stories that I write, then I need to know how to effectively write violence.
So, to that end, I spent several hours this afternoon doing research. I read about how to write fight scenes. I read about how to actually fight, not simply write about it. How to use a knife, a bow, a fist. It was violent. Some of it was pretty gruesome. But I learned a lot. About weapons, about techniques, about all sorts of things. I then put some of that new knowledge into practice and wrote some fight scenes. Not spectacular by any means, but I think it's better than it has been.
Obviously, I'd be able to write combat better if I participated in that sort of thing, but as that isn't likely to happen any time soon, doing extensive research seems like the next best option. And so far, I think it really is helping.
I won't stop with today though. I'll continue to research effective fighting techniques as well as reading up on how to write realistic and powerful scenes that involve violence. I want to better my skills as an author, and that is going to take time. But it is time that I am willing to dedicate to the cause, because the better I write, the better I can use my gifts to glorify the Lord :)

Review our Agency and Donor-Designated FAQs
Please review some frequently asked questions about our Agency and Donor-Designated Endowment Programs. If you do not find what you’re looking for, do not hesitate to contact us.
Agency accounts are for organizations fully dedicated to supporting youth shooting sports. In other words, 100% of their effort and resources go to youth shooting sports. Agency grants may be used for general organizational expenses.
Donor Designated accounts are for organizations with a mission other than youth shooting sports, but have a well-defined youth shooting sports program(s). A good example is a conservation organization like Pheasants Forever (PF) that includes a good youth hunting and shooting program. MidwayUSA Foundation will not support the broader PF conservation mission, but will support the youth shooting program. Donor Designated grant funds are, therefore, restricted to covering expenses directly related to the youth program(s). Using Donor Designated grant funds for general organizational expenses is prohibited.
This question requires a two-part answer. Part 1: The MidwayUSA Foundation does not charge any fees to open an endowment account or on endowment account donations. There is a $100 minimum donation requirement to open the account. 100% of each donation, including a credit card donation, is credited to the endowment account. The Foundation absorbs all credit card fees associated with online donations.
Part 2: There is a 1% transfer from every endowment account to MidwayUSA Foundation’s Forever Endowment. The Forever Endowment will enable the MidwayUSA Foundation to operate forever, in support of youth shooting sports teams and programs like yours. The 1% annual transfer consists of four (4) quarterly transfers of 0.25% each, done on the last day of the quarter before earnings are applied. For full transparency, all quarterly transfers will be clearly visible on your endowment account statements.
MidwayUSA Foundation is a qualified public charity exempt from Federal and State income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Donations to all endowment accounts are tax-deductible under Section 170 of the Code.
Yes. Agency and Donor Designated endowment accounts have access to all of the fundraising resources and support provided by the Foundation, such as free fundraising products, online donations, and peer-to-peer software.
MidwayUSA Foundation applies earnings to all endowment accounts on a quarterly basis. 100% of earnings received by the Foundation from its investments at Goldman Sachs are distributed pro-rata to all endowment accounts based upon average balance during the quarter. Due to fluctuations in the investment market, account earnings may be positive or negative.
Agency and Donor Designated endowment accounts are eligible for an annual grant after the account has been funded for one full year, and if the average balance is at least $2,000. There are four grant cycles (January, April, July, and October) available. MidwayUSA Foundation will email the grant application, along with a statement that includes the 5% grant amount, to the primary contact on the account. The available grant is 5% of the account’s average balance over the past year. The Foundation will pay the grant the month after the grant application was issued if your organization completes and returns all paperwork promptly.
MidwayUSA Foundation is a Public Charity, not a bank or financial institution. All donations to, and funds held in Agency and Donor Designated endowment accounts are unrestricted and the property of the MidwayUSA Foundation. Therefore, MidwayUSA Foundation endowment accounts are not an asset of your organization and should not be listed on your organization’s balance sheet as an asset.

Earth Day Canada 2020: Keeping our distance, but taking environmental action together
In honour of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, the organization Earth Day Canada is inviting citizens to take simple and concrete actions – at home.
For the 2020 edition of its campaign, the organization is also offering activities and tools to assist municipalities in their role as leaders in the ecological transition. Earth Day Canada also announced that its reach is now pan-Canadian and that it will support citizens and organizations from coast to coast to coast in efforts to protect the environment.
“Despite the challenges posed by COVID-19, cancelling Canada’s Earth Day was out of the question. We can all celebrate and take action for the Earth, even if we are at home,” explained Pierre Lussier, Director of Earth Day Canada. “Citizens across the country are mobilized and ready to make an effort for our planet, either through simple actions or a radical shift in the way they conduct their daily lives. Whether during the crisis or afterward, having a positive impact on our environment starts with everyday actions at home and in our community.”
A Campaign that Encourages Participation from Home
As part of this new campaign, Earth Day Canada encourages citizens to take action for the environment as part of their daily lives. To mark the occasion, the organization unveiled a new webpage, entitled #EarthDayAtHome, with suggestions for activities Canadians can do from home. Each day, for 22 days, a suggestion will be shared across Earth Day Canada’s social media, accompanied by the same hashtag.
Citizens are also invited to produce a 20-second video in which they pledge to take daily action for the benefit of the environment (e.g., make their own environmentally friendly hand soap, plan their meals to reduce food waste, start composting at home). A compilation of these videos will be broadcast for the celebration of Earth Day on April 22, a virtual event to which the general public will be invited.
“Earth Day, especially in a period of global lockdown, is the perfect opportunity to rethink our habits and to implement concrete methods for improving them once and for all. Let’s take the time to do the things we’re constantly putting off for another day. It’s now or never,” said Edith Cochrane, actress and co-spokesperson of the Earth Day 2020 campaign. “Let’s finally plan out how to live a zero-waste lifestyle and fill our pantries with products bought in bulk without the packaging, let’s make the switch to bars of shampoo instead of bottles, let’s plants seeds and cook meals without meat. Let’s commit to taking a different approach as we resume the course of our day-to-day lives.”
Cochrane’s point was emphasized by Thomas Mulcair, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Earth Day Canada and co-spokesperson for the 2020 campaign.
“The actions we take now, at home, will lay the groundwork for a day-to-day commitment to our community and to our city, even beyond the health crisis,” Mulcair said. “Protecting the environment is an issue that concerns us all and that unites us in these more difficult times.”
Municipalities are at the heart of the ecological transition. They have a central role in supporting citizens and organizations, and in facilitating the adoption of daily habits for a sustainable future. For this reason, Earth Day Canada is inviting municipalities across the country to become partners for the 2020 campaign.
Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante, who is also municipal spokesperson for the Earth Day campaign, explained her community is taking action to protect the planet, which also means a better quality of life in local neighbourhoods.
“We will work tirelessly to reduce our ecological footprint and strengthen our resilience. The current health crisis has made us realize just how interconnected we are, and that we must prepare collectively for the major challenges that lie ahead,” Plante said. “We call on all our fellow citizens to take action at their own scale. I would like to extend a special invitation to Canadian municipalities to embark on this journey with us and amplify our collective impact.”
Nearly 50 municipalities are already partners in the 2020 campaign, nearly a dozen of which have committed to planting 50 trees to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Originally, the tree planting was to take place simultaneously across the country on April 22. Due to the social distancing measures, the tree planting will be staggered throughout the year.

The Round Table of international shipping associations (RT) comprising BIMCO, ICS, Intercargo and INTERTANKO are developing standards and guidelines to address the major cyber security issues faced by the shipping industry.
Protection against malicious attacks on computer based systems onboard ships is now hitting the top of the agenda for shipping organisations in all corners of the world. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has already heard calls for action and the insurance industry repeatedly lists the issue as one for concern. The RT has made a submission to the IMO on this vital issue outlining the steps taken by the industry to address any vulnerabilities.
The vulnerabilities can be numerous and the threats imminent – the question of protection is a complex set of issues and not just about operating a firewall on a ship or installing virus scanning software on the onboard computers. All of the major systems on a modern ship are controlled and monitored by software; these include the main engine, steering and navigation systems, and the ballast water and cargo handling equipment.
To address this problem and help the industry to protect itself against these risks, the RT is already working with industry partners on a number of complementary projects to develop standards and guidelines to address the cyber security issues.
This guidance to ship owners and operators includes how to:
• minimize the risk of a cyber-attack through user access management
• protect on board systems
• develop contingency plans and also
• manage incidents if they do occur
The RT (through BIMCO) and CIRM (Comité International Radio-Maritime) are also in the final phase of developing a standard for the maintenance and update of programmable electronic systems.
These programs are all interrelated and address how industry stakeholders should develop, manage, update and secure computer-based systems onboard ships. Coordination between these programmes is therefore essential and recognised by the participating organisations.
Angus Frew, Secretary General of BIMCO, said:
“The Round Table representing the global shipping industry is taking cyber security seriously.
“The standards under development are intended to enable equipment manufacturers, service personnel, yards, owners & operators, as well as crew, to ensure their shipboard computer-based systems are managed securely – and kept up-to-date to protect against the ever-growing threat from exploitation by criminals.”

Exploring the economic arguments for and against outsourcing – a white paper by Outsource Accelerator
Today, many companies in North America and Western Europe continue to assess whether outsourcing is the right business solution for them. In recent years, outsourcing has come under scrutiny and has been criticized for taking jobs abroad, for derailing customer service, and even for detracting from home economies. Yet, outsourcing has weathered the criticism because, ultimately, it works for the businesses that have embraced it as a cost-saving measure as well as for the other benefits it brings to the company.
As the outsourcing industry has grown and continues to evolve, many of the criticisms it suffered in the past are fading to reveal benefits that enhance company employees, communities at home and abroad, and even major economies. Businesses can and do benefit immensely from outsourcing, so if your company is considering working with an outsourcing firm overseas in a country like the Philippines, it’s vital to understand how it can be a win-win for all parties involved, and why adopting the outsourcing platform can enhance productivity and help your business to grow.
This paper is divided into sections that provide a basic definition of outsourcing, outline critical arguments against outsourcing and offshoring, beneficial aspects of outsourcing, and concluding information. The benefits section will include case study information based on current, multi-type publications. After reading this document, readers should have a comprehensive understanding of the multilateral benefits of outsourcing with real-world cases that provide evidentiary support of claims.
While some of the criticism of outsourcing has been exaggerated, some of it has been warranted. Readers can examine how this criticism has led to positive changes within outsourcing firms and Western businesses. In other words, many problems that once existed have now been greatly minimized owing to positive solutions designed by companies that support the outsourcing model. The concluding section will further address criticisms and common pitfalls of outsourcing and how companies can find effective solutions for them—an absolute necessity since globalization and outsourcing are here to stay.
Introduction to outsourcing/offshoring
Simply stated, outsourcing can be defined as contracting with an outside firm or vendor to perform various functions for the company that ranges from IT services to data entry. A company may outsource some of its processes to vendors within the country or abroad. For the purpose of this paper, the discussion will focus on offshore outsourcing; that is, contracting with firms overseas, specifically with the Philippines, for professional services that may include data entry, IT, data center operations, sales and lead generation, customer service, etc.
Today, companies large and small are turning to firms in countries like the Philippines to obtain services at a rate that is less expensive than what they currently pay to employees within their own countries. However, cost-saving is not the only reason a company may embrace offshoring to nations like the Philippines or Mexico. In some cases, the company may simply not want to invest in the expertise needed to perform some specific functionalities; they may believe that an outside firm already as the expertise and experience needed to perform the processes in question at a competitive rate.
Outsourcing as a component of globalization is not showing signs of a slowdown. In fact, research suggests that it is increasing worldwide. The economies of many nations, including the Philippines, can now demonstrate the positive effects that outsourcing is having on its country and its workers. Outsourcing provides win-win situations for the company and the company it contracts with, but then why does outsourcing still have such an image problem? By learning from this paper’s key takeaways, businesses can learn why some myths about globalization prevail and how they can be conquered.
Why has outsourcing boomed in the Philippines?
The Philippines is neither the biggest nor first outsourcing nation. India has been outsourcing for a much longer time, and its industry is about three times the size. However, the Philippines has shown great commitment to the development of this ‘golden-boy’ industry and has certainly created an environment that is most welcome to Western businesses. In recent years, the country has been dubbed “the call center capital of the world”. Well over one million Filipinos work in the country’s many call centers. According to reports like the one posted by LA Times, “The outsourcing boom has helped propel the country’s economy, once a laggard of Asia, into one of the region’s fastest-growing.” Whilst the Philippines isn’t the biggest outsourcing nation, it can be considered the highest quality option.
At the outset of the outsourcing trend, it was India that commanded the attention of many companies from the West. However, the Philippines, even with its considerably smaller population, has created an environment that is particularly attractive to Western nations. For one, the Philippines boasts a solid command of the English language. Scoring near the top of the BEI (Business English Index) in recent years, the Philippines has rivaled nations like the Netherlands and Norway for English proficiency. In addition, employees in The Philippines have proven themselves flexible on time, working well with time varying time zones, shift changes, and on holidays.
The government of the Philippines has helped bolster the nation’s outsourcing industry by developing partnerships with universities to create BPO-specific coursework and curriculums. The country has issued tax and non-tax incentives to drive investment from overseas companies and created a voucher system that helps support call center training. Many companies in the West have been impressed by the competent workforce that provides quality for what amounts to a bargain rate. Because Filipino workers train for specific careers in the outsourcing industry, they can boast highly-skilled talent that is attractive to companies in the West in search of an overseas back-end, operations, or logistics partner.
This isn’t to say that the Philippines has left its competition in the dark; on the contrary, offshoring is more competitive from country to country than ever. India, Thailand, Malaysia, Brazil, China, and other nations are among the nations with the most outsourcing jobs. With the Philippines’ growth rate of 46%, however, it remains one of the nations to watch closely as it appears to function as an important model for the outsourcing industry, a model that illustrates what works best in this highly competitive marketplace.
Criticism of outsourcing
In many Western countries, offshoring has become a dirty word that is nearly synonymous with job loss. This criticism is unfair and potentially unfounded as we will discuss later in this publication, but it exists nonetheless in countries like the US and UK. Its stands to reason that if a corporation outsources its customer service call center to the Philippines, its American and British customer representatives will be out of a job. Time and again, companies that offshore do layoff segments of their workforce as they hire employees overseas at decreased rates. This remains the chief criticism of the outsourcing model as it pertains to offshoring. Moreover, as outsourcing moves beyond its infancy toward middle age, its image problem may finally fade as clear evidence emerges about its positive impact on Western businesses and even Western communities.
Economic loss is also a criticism when it comes to a company’s products and services. Critics suggest that outsourcing only marginally reduces the price of products and services. As an added inconvenience, they lament that decreased wages detract from their healthy economy, assuming wages are decreased, which is also an argument that does not always bear fruit in the current climate. Critics have worried that the profits made from offshoring wind up in the coffers of the wealthy and do nothing to lift the position of the middle class or the working class.
No doubt, readers may have seen criticisms that the supposed benefits of outsourcing for the home nation’s workers have not been realized. There are fewer advanced and sophisticated jobs for US and UK workers. Some workers also complain that there are fewer full-time occupations and that even part-time job offerings are more difficult to come by. Whether or not this is true or the fault of offshoring will be examined later in this discussion. For now, it’s important to note the criticisms of offshoring in order to eventually address them and discuss how businesses are creating new solutions to the problems associated with offshoring.
Some of these criticisms have been just and apply to many situations in the US and Western Europe. However, as the cons associated with offshoring have been illustrated and discussed for several years now, there have been numerous fixes to address these criticisms. These will be more closely examined later on in this paper.
Other problems with offshoring
Many companies have struggled with cultural and language barriers when offshoring to employees across the world. These barriers can still crucially impact the company’s brand and the success of its offshoring venture. Even the seemingly simple challenge associated with time zone changes can sink a venture if not appropriately addressed.
Then, of course, there is the real challenge of service quality. A London-based company, when considering outsourcing, has to ask this question: can a native person in Mumbai provide the same level of customer care as a Londoner? There’s no doubt that weaknesses—and indeed, failures—exist within the outsourcing sector, but as the sector has evolved, it has very effectively tackled this problem head on, especially in countries like the Philippines.
Some businesses dislike relinquishing hands-on control of any aspect of their business. This is understandable. However, by working with a firm that is able to integrate with the business well, it will retain all control necessary to obtain the desired outcomes. In some cases, a company simply requires a bit of time to get used to the changed paradigm. Many of today’s outsourcing firms have become quite savvy and intuitive when it comes to the job at hand.
Other problems that historically plagued the young industry have included poor communication between the company and the outsourced firm, hidden costs that might include things like start-up training, and reduced adherence to rules of confidentiality. Critics have pointed to low worker morale as another con associated with outsourcing.
Does outsourcing exploit workers in undeveloped countries?
An important concern that cannot be overlooked is the one that says that overseas workers are exploited or treated as veritable slaves who earn next to nothing for the same work that would earn a Western worker a living wage. Whilst the gravest conditions and concerns are reserved mainly for the manufacturing sector, the same concerns spill over to the service outsourcing sector. This complaint has merit as evidenced by the sweatshops that exist in undeveloped nations and the poor work conditions that many overseas workers are forced to endure. Western companies that engage in exploitive practices take a large risk. As word gets out, as it has, the brand suffers as customers choose to boycott companies that opt for profit over the support of basic human rights. In other words, engaging in unsavory offshoring practices can be a public relations nightmare for any company.
Many countries are, in fact, learning from the mistakes of those companies that pioneered outsourcing but didn’t manage their course very well. One of the worst tragedies in recent memory for outsourced workers occurred in the city of Dhaka in Bangladesh. According to World Bank, a building known as Rana Plaza crashed down on thousands of workers. More than one thousand people were killed and twice as many were injured. The workers there sewed garments for many European and American retailers. According to World Bank, “a chunk of blame for the collapse and deaths was placed on retailers and brands that outsourced their work to Bangladesh, and particularly Rana Plaza.”
In order for Western companies to engage global workers responsibly, they must assess working conditions by sending agents to the firms they want to contract with. It has become less acceptable for Western businesses to profit at the expense of workers in underdeveloped nations. Moreover, it has now become imperative for Western companies to vet companies to ensure that they comply with acceptable safety standards and work conditions. Many companies in North America and Europe have signed formal agreements to ensure that they will shut down any operations that do not comply with agreed-upon standards. Certainly, abuses still exist, but the improvements are undeniable.
For the sake of this white paper, it’s worth noting that service-based outsourcing (i.e. providing services instead of manufacturing) is generally less susceptible to tolerating low standards and working conditions. This is primarily because these functions require a workforce that is generally more middle class and better educated. These people are generally less tolerant of low standards, and are more informed and vocal about their rights and expectations. Equally, in the Philippines, the government tends to be very protectionist towards its workforce, and is generally very pro-labor, especially within the largely foreign-led outsourcing sector.
Regardless, concerns for abuse or exploitation are by no means immaterial, and they will be addressed hereafter. Naturally, companies today must assess potential pitfalls associated with offshoring. Companies that can see past the unfounded complaints and create solutions to the obstacles that offshoring may present stand to benefit from the effort.
The political dynamic of offshoring / outsourcing
While a New Yorker whose job has been shipped to India or Mexico certainly has a legitimate personal gripe to make, much of the case made against outsourcing and, indeed, globalization in general, comes from political corners. Can politicians who rail against offshoring be trusted? Can these politicians actually bring jobs back to their struggling workforce?
In many ways, Western politicians have earned votes by promising to curtail offshoring by either penalizing companies that engage in the practice or by promising incentives for companies to keep all company processes within the home country. To a large degree, these politicians have made unrealistic claims. Case in point: take the current Trump administration in the US. Trump waged a campaign to bring overseas jobs back to America. His campaign pledge is “Make America Great Again.” Moreover, one only has to read the recent headlines to note the US president’s anti-immigrant position.
Savvy onlookers will, no doubt, have seen the articles that point out Trump’s double standards. As a business leader, Trump exports beaucoup jobs to far-flung lands that are very far, indeed, from American shores and, more specifically, American workers. According to The Independent, “For Trump, highlighting US-made products is inconsistent with his practices as a businessman. For years, the Trump Organization has outsourced much of its product manufacturing, relying on a global network of factories in a dozen countries—including Bangladesh, China and Mexico—to make its clothing, home decor pieces, and other items.”
The same can be said of the American president’s daughter who also offshores jobs from her companies. The “Made in America” mantra of the Trump campaign is an obvious example of the liberties that politicians take when attempting to score votes. It’s important to note this when trying to understand what, if any, genuine negative effects outsourcing has on Western businesses, Western economies, and Western workers.

This week was supposed to mark the swansong of Toyota’s TS050 Le Mans car, before it was replaced by the company’s new Hypercar for the 2020-21 WEC season. However, thanks to Covid-19, the only racing this weekend is virtual, and Toyota’s two-time winner will have to wait until September to make its bow.
Though Toyota has dominated endurance racing in the past two years, it took the manufacturer over 30 years to claim its maiden victory at Le Mans, with multiple potential wins slipping through its hands. Until 2018, Mazda remained the only Japanese marque to triumph at La Sarthe; though not for lack of trying by either Toyota or Nissan.
Toyota first arrived at the French classic with the 85C, built by Dome and fitted with a 2.4 liter, turbocharged I4, based on the unit found in the Celica road car. The car had an aluminum monocoque and had a full ground-effect body. Both Dome and TOM’s (Tachi Oiwa Motor Sport) entered 85Cs in the 1985 24 Hour, with the highest placed TOM’s car (#36) finishing in 12th place. The design was evolved for the next few years, culminating in the 88C for the 1988 season, but a top step on the podium eluded Toyota.
Toward the end of the Group C era, Toyota enlisted the help of Tony Southgate, responsible for Jaguar’s Le Mans winners, to pen the first of the TS lineage of cars, the TS010. Toyota was relatively late to the party in utilizing rules that allowed 3.5-liter, V10, Formula 1-type engines to be used, but the 010 rectified this, with the 600bhp RV10.
The car had a full carbon-fiber monocoque and was a cutting-edge machine. Setting something of a pattern, victory would narrowly elude Toyota, which took second place at le Mans in 1992. It missed out again in 1993, but the TS010 certainly had the pace, setting lap records in both years.
Following the demise of Group C, Toyota supported a number of private entries until 1998, when it launched the TS020 (commonly called the Toyota GT-One), which took full advantage of the GT1 rules that no longer required 25 road versions to be built. The car had a carbon tub, with a fully stressed, twin-turbocharged 5.6-liter V8.
Again though, chances of victory slipped away. In 1998, the car qualified in second place, but had to retire. Then, in 1999, Toyota locked out of the front row of the grid, only for two cars to suffer accidents and the third coming home runner-up to BMW.
It would be 13 years until Toyota returned to endurance racing. In 2012, bailing the ACO out of a hole following Peugeot’s decision to quit the WEC, it accelerated development of its TS030 LMP1, which was due to debut in 2013.
Toyota took a unique approach to the LMP1 hybrid regulations, running a naturally aspirated V8 coupled to a super capacitor-based energy-recovery system, which it deemed to have better power density than available battery solutions. The car was supposed to be four-wheel-drive, but there was insufficient time to develop the front mounted MGU system, so was run as a RWD for 2012, meaning, as the tub was set up with all of the necessary reinforcement for a front MGU, it carried a weight penalty through the year.
The 030 set the trend for the next few years. Toyota’s cars were nearly always blisteringly fast, but bad luck or reliability issues plagued them. Neither car finished in 2012, but in 2013, they secured second and fourth places.
The 040 superseded the 030 in 2014. It was an evolution of the same basic design, now featuring a full four-wheel drive energy-recovery system, still based on capacitors, and secured the team third place behind Audi. But, in 2015, they were soundly out paced by returning Porsche. Toyota had to react and development of the car’s successor, the 050 was accelerated.
Initially, the team had planned to introduce a new, twin-turbo V6 engine and battery-based hybrid over the course of two years. The NA V8 of the 040 was a masterpiece, and astoundingly efficient, peaking at over 40% thermal efficiency and running a compression ratio of 17:1, but it could not compete with ever reducing fuel flow regulations.
Toyota wanted to stick with this engine for another year, adding a battery-based energy recovery system – having decided that battery technology had reached sufficient maturity to replace its capacitors – but the stark reality of Porsche’s pace in 2015 changed this. As a result, the 050’s chassis was far from optimized for the new engine, which was clear in areas such as the packaging of the cooling system, but it was fast, really fast.
Then heartbreak. Toyota dominated the 2016 race, but on the penultimate lap, a failure of a boost pipe on the leading car of Kazuki Nakajima saw it grind to a halt on the start-finish straight. Frustratingly, as admitted by John Litjens, project leader on the Le Mans project, the engine could have still run, but its failsafe systems, sensing a boost pressure loss, prevented it.
The following year would be similarly disappointing. Reliability issues meant Toyota could only manage ninth. As a consolation prize, Kamui Kobayashi obliterated the Le Mans lap record in qualifying, posting a time of 3m 14.791 seconds. In private, Toyota engineers mooted that there was probably more to come from the car if needed.
Then finally, in 2018, the TS050 won. Despite protestations from some that it was a hollow victory, as neither Porsche nor Audi were racing, it was thoroughly deserved. Toyota had stuck with its project and reaped the reward, and that perseverance looks to continue as it is the only manufacturer fully committed to a Hypercar entry.

Process and plant engineers in search of a next-generation air/gas flow meter that is suitable for critical operations and hazardous environments will find that the future-ready ST100 Series Thermal Mass Air/Gas Flow Meter from Fluid Components International (FCI) is now rated for Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 1 compliant service.
FCI’s SIL compliance rating for the ST100 Flow Meter has been documented in a failure analysis report with FMEDA techniques by Exida, an accredited global functional safety certification company. The ST100 Flow Meter has been classified as a Type B subsystem in accordance to IEC 61508-1 with a hardware failure tolerance of 0. The Probability of Failure on Demand (PFD) meets SIL-1 capability standards.
SIL ratings provide a key assurance of confidence that safety rated equipment has been tested and shown to prevent dangerous failures and to control them in the event they occur. FCI’s new SIL-1 safety compliance assures its customers that the third-party testing organization (Exida) has tested the ST100 Flow Meter and when the product is in use, the process risk is reduced to the designated level. FCI’s customers can rely on the company to improve safety and reliability continually.
The ST100 Series Flow Meter sets a new industry benchmark in process and plant air/gas flow measurement, offering the most feature-rich and function-rich electronics available. The ST100’s performance delivers unsurpassed adaptability and value to meet plant gas flow measurement applications for today and tomorrow.
Whether the need is for 4-20 mA analogue, frequency/pulse, alarm relays or digital bus communications such as HART, Fieldbus, Profibus or Modbus, the ST100 is the solution. Should a plant’s needs change over time or an upgrade be desirable, the ST100 Flow Meter adapts as necessary with a plug-in card replacement that can be changed out by plant technicians in the field.
The ST100 Flow Meter’s unique graphical, multivariable, backlit LCD display/readout brings new meaning to the term “process information”. It provides the industry’s most comprehensive information with continuous display of all process measurements and alarm status, and the ability to interrogate for service diagnostics. The user-friendly ST100 stores up to five unique calibration groups to accommodate broad flow ranges, differing mixtures of the same gas and multiple gases, and obtains up to 1000:1 turndown.
Also standard is an on-board data logger with an easily accessible, removable 2-GB micro-SD memory card capable of storing 21 million readings.
The ST100 is the first thermal flow meter to offer three different types of flow sensors to best match user applications. The fast-response FPC-style is a fast response features an integral flow conditioner and protective shroud optimized for compressed air and clean gas applications. The fast-response, general purpose FP-style features a protective shroud and is the sensor used with FCI’s VeriCal™ in-situ calibration option. For wet or dirty gases, or erratic flows, the unshrouded S-style facilitates easy cleaning and provides a smoothed response.
The comprehensive ST100 Series is comprised of two core model families: ST and STP. ST meters measure both mass flow and temperature, and the exclusive STP family adds a third parameter, pressure, making the ST100 the world’s first triple-variable thermal flow meter. Both families include single-point and dual-element models as configurations outfitted with FCI’s exclusive in-situ calibration option, VeriCal.
The ST100 can be calibrated to measure virtually any process gas, including wet gas, mixed gases and dirty gases.

What is Audi Pre Sense?
Audi Pre Sense is a safety technology package that is comprised of several different radar and collision detection methods that allows your car to perform automated interventions
Audi Pre Sense has been a feature of Audi vehicles since 2011. It has been instrumental in delivering faster-than-human automatic safety functions that allow your Audi to essentially save your car from a collision situation. Generally, most Audi Pre Sense features are baked into the car and don't need to be manually activated, but some such as Hold Assist can be manually stopped at your command. With Audi Pre Sense you'll have peace of mind no matter the weather or road conditions. But what actually comes as standard with the Audi Pre Sense technology package? Let's take a look
What Drivers Assistance Systems are included as part of Audi Pre Sense?
The Audi Pre Sense technology package includes and is not limited to:
- Turn Assist
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop&Go function
- Adaptive Cruise Assist
- Hold Assist
- Audi Active Lane Assist
- Audi AI Traffic Jam Pilot
- Audi Pre Sense 360˚
- Audi Pre Sense Basic
- Audi Pre Sense Front / Rear / Side
- Collision Avoidance Assist
- Curb Assist
- Audi Parking System Plus
What Audi vehicles contain the Audi Pre Sense system?
All Audi vehicles released in 2020 have the basic Audi Pre Sense system (Turn Assist, Lane Assist, Pre Sense 360˚ etc) as standard, however, some of them are optional extras such as Adaptive Cruise Control. Please check with your sales team member to find out what your Audi model comes with and whether there are options to upgrade.
What does the Audi Pre Sense system actually do?
Turn Assist uses front cone radar sensors to monitor oncoming traffic when performing a right or left turn. Turn Assist is automatically activated when a car is moving from a stop or is driving slowly up to 6.2mph. Turn Assist is activated when an oncoming car is detected within collision distance as you attempt to turn. This automatic intervention will apply the brakes to prevent the car from hitting the oncoming vehicle, keeping your car within its own lane. An indicator on the digital cockpit will flash to tell you a Turn Assist intervention has taken place.
Adaptive cruise control (with Stop&Go function)
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a function that allows drivers to relax during long-distance journeys. It essentially maintains a preset distance from the vehicles in front by constantly adjusting your acceleration and control system dynamics with Audi Drive Select (a driving mode selector). This means you can enjoy long journeys without having to physically brake when traffic ahead starts slowing down. ACC works by using a cone radar sensor at the front as well as a front camera which is used to measure the distance between your car and the vehicle in front.
The system works from 18.6mph all the way up to 155.3mph. Even when the ACC system is switched off the adaptive sensor will blink on the digital cockpit to let you know if you're too close (tailgating) the vehicle in front.
Adaptive Cruise Assist
Adaptive Cruise Assist (ACA) assists the driver through permanently monitoring the vehicle's surroundings with a cone radar sensor, laser scanner, front and rear cameras and ultrasonic sensors. This helps the Audi's onboard computer to create a visual image of what is happening around the car and detect things including lane markings, roadside structures, vehicles in nearby lanes and vehicles ahead. This entire system is able to 'take over' your vehicle and input direct commands without your input. The automatic inventions include keeping your vehicle in the middle of the lane based on the lane markings, keeping a distance from vehicles in front of you with variable acceleration and automatic braking if an imminent collision is detected.
Hold Assist is a simple function that is able to detect if your vehicle is on an incline or decline and automatically activate the electromechanical parking brake. This safety feature ensures your car won't roll backwards or forwards based on the incline you've stopped on. The system is automatically deactivated once you've pressed the acceleration pedal down and reached a specific amount of RPMs. It won't activate until it reaches the RPM limit, in case you've accidentally tapped it whilst stopping. This feature is set to on by default but can be switched off if you prefer to you the handbrake or footbrake on inclined stops.
Audi Active Lane Assist
Audi Active Lane Assist operates from 40.4mph and upwards. It scans the road in front of you as well as the road markings to build up an image of where your car is meant to be within the centre of the lane. Any time the car moves from the lane or the wheels exit the lane the Active Lane Assist intervention kicks in and will gently (but noticeably) steer the car back into the centre of the lane you were in.
The system is smart and detects inputs based on how the steering wheel is moved. If you're moving into the right lane with the indicator on the system will not activate. If you move into the right lane with a strong right turn through the steering wheel, the system will not activate. It will, however, activate if you are slowly drifting the steering wheel whilst trying to stay within the same lane. Audi Active Lane Assist is switched on by default but can be disabled within the menu.
Audi Pre Sense 360˚
The Audi Pre Sense 360˚ function simply measures collision detection and hazards all around the car. Pre Sense 360˚ constantly feeds data of what's happening around the car into the onboard computer system. On its own, it doesn't have any automatic interventions, but it does include the following four driver assistance systems which all have automatic safety interventions in place:
- Audi Pre Sense Basic
- Audi Pre Sense Front
- Audi Pre Sense Rear
- Audi Pre Sense Side
Audi Pre Sense Basic
Audi Pre Sense Basic is a set of safety measures designed to fully protect the driver and passengers in the event of what it calls a 'critical driving state'. It utilises information from Pre Sense 360˚ to determine whether a critical driving state is taking place. A critical driving state could mean continuous and out of control skidding, emergency braking and geometrical anomalies such as the car tipping to one side. The Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC) is able to detect skidding and hard braking and automatically apply safety interventions.
The safety interventions include pretension (tightening) of the occupant's seat belts in order to prevent forward or side to side movements. The side windows are automatically closed as well as the sunroof if it's open. In addition, the hazard lights are automatically enabled to warn other drivers of the danger ahead.
Audi Pre Sense Front / Rear / Side
Audi Pre Sense Front, Rear and Side functions take data from cone radar sensors and cameras to compute the probability of a collision. The function has the ability to automatically apply the brakes if a collision is imminent. This can be anything from a vehicle in front suddenly stopping, a pedestrian running into the road, cyclists and stationary objects such as buildings. The initial warnings are visual alerts on your digital cockpit and acoustic and haptic sounds played within the car. Failure to notice the warnings will result in an intervention of speed reduction. If this still isn't enough to prevent a collision the car will automatically activate a full emergency stop and activate the Audi Pre Sense basic features listed above.
Collision Avoidance Assist
Collision Avoidance Assist uses data from two large conal radar sensors and the front camera. It uses this data to create an image of the front vehicle as well as what's around the vehicle. It does this to calculate whether there is a space to perform a collision avoidance manoeuvre in the event of an accident in front. For example, if you were travelling on the motorway in the middle lane and there's an accident with the car in front of you as well on the left lane, your Collision Avoidance Assist will automatically steer your car into the direction of the right lane to avoid the accident. This is enough for you to notice which way the car is directing you, you can then manually input more steering to successfully evade a collision situation.
Curb Assist is a simple function that identifies risks to the alloys and tyres of your Audi. The system is only activated from up to 6.2mph and uses the Pre Sense 360˚ sensors and cameras to gather data on your situation. If the system detects a critical driving state (I.E. you're about to hit the curb) it will alert the driver via your digital cockpit as well as audible warning sounds within. This function doesn't have an automatic intervention such as braking.
Audi Parking System Plus
Audi Parking System Plus informs the driver visually and audibly about potential obstacles at the front and rear during parking. Using sensors and front and rear cameras, the system is able to calculate if your current trajectory is going to hit an object when parking the vehicle. Thanks to the Pre Sense 360˚ cameras, you will have a top-down view of your car whilst parking which is real-time and shows on your centre touchscreen. Showing you exactly how close you are coming to the objects to the rear and in front. The centre touchscreen will also show virtual driving paths, which shows the best lines for success when parking. An audible beep will constantly sound as you move closer to the rear or front object. Getting closer will cause the beep to get faster. Any time the beep is a continues tone it means you must stop as a collision is imminent.
The Audi Pre Sense and driver assistance systems are a huge plus to anyone who is after safety and peace of mind first and foremost. These safety systems allow your driving to be much more secure, regardless of your attentiveness at the time. Anyone can suffer from driving fatigue or fatigue in general from a long day. Audi have invested in their safety intervention systems to ensure their customers are always protected whatever the situation.

City Secret – Old Swiss Watches, Nizamuddin Basti
Finding lost time.
[Text and photos by Mayank Austen Soofi]
Here you get old hand-wound Swiss watches for cheap.
Javed Husain Khan’s roadside ‘counter’ stands under a babool tree, at the border of central Delhi’s Nizamuddin Basti and Nizamuddin West.
Keeping the watches on the wooden top, the soft-spoken Mr Khan says, “These are all Swiss brands. This is Nino, this is (Henri) Sandoz and look, this is Favre-leuba. It is more than 60 years old.”
Depending on the intensity of your excitement, Mr Khan can price the watch you are eyeing anywhere between Rs 500 and Rs 2000. Buy it even if he demands more. A similar watch of the same vintage would cost more than ten times that amount in a showroom.
“I have dealers in various cities like Calcutta and Lucknow who obtain these watches from families willing to old sell things they no longer need.”
Wearing an eye-glass, Mr Khan settles down with an old Titoni. “Most of my clients are foreigners.”
Mr Khan also repairs old watches. A resident of Okhla in south Delhi, he opens his shop daily at 2 pm. I have often seen him working on the watches as late as 11 in the night. His noble face exudes great dignity.
A few months ago Mr Khan sold me a Henri Sandoz for Rs 600. During a trip to Paris, a connoisseur of antique watches declared it “authentic and elegant.” I told him this watch came down to me from my rich grandfather who was private secretary to the Raja of Benares.

Many people will tell you that on Tuesday, November 2, Americans will participate in the most important election of our time. This will be true, of course, until the next election comes along. How should Christians approach voting? Here are several articles that will hopefully prod you to honoring Jesus above all else in the way you cast your ballot.
How Can We Vote for the Glory of God
First, we must not forget that as Christians we are citizens of a heavenly kingdom first and foremost. As Christians, who in God’s providence reside in the United States, we should have a desire for God’s will to be done here on earth as it is being done in heaven (Matt. 6:10).
As we consider Tuesday’s elections, we must remember that this world is passing away (1 John 2:17). Our mission is not to establish Christianity as the state religion through elections; nor is it to impose Christian doctrine through legislation. Our mission is to proclaim the glorious gospel of Christ so that people may be transformed by the power of God’s gospel to become true worshipers of Jesus Christ and citizens of the heavenly Jerusalem.
As citizens of the heavenly Jerusalem, we need to keep in mind that we are strangers and exiles in this world who are looking for a heavenly country (Hebrews 11:13-16); nevertheless, we do reside here in the United States for now as ambassadors of Christ, representing King and country. So, like every other earthly citizen in our nation, we have a responsibility to be faithful citizens. Continue reading “How Can We Vote for the Glory of God?” at The Gospel Coalition→

Six Truths to Stand One When Voting
With the campaign advertisements, donor & polling phone calls, it is clear that election season is upon us! Christians are, often rightly, concerned over where the country is going, what candidates do and say, and the pressure cooker of the election season only adds to that. But what truths from the Bible can we stand on, even leading up to the election? Here are six:
1. God is sovereign over whoever is elected in November. It is clear from Scripture that ultimately the White House, as well as every position of power, comes from God’s power and authority. He “brings kings down and He sets kings up” (Daniel 2:21). The rise and fall of nations is in His control (Daniel 4:30 – 37). If even such little things as the life of sparrows (Matthew 10:29) and the rolling of dice (Proverbs 16:33) and under God’s control, will God not also oversee the heart and decisions of rulers (Proverbs 21:1)? The citizens of America will elect their leader on Nov. 6 by voting, but this is simply the means that God uses to install the leader He has chosen. Continue reading “Six Truths To Stand On When Voting” at Pastor Brian’s website→

Thoughts on Christian Patriotism
On July 4, our nation celebrates its independence with waving flags, picnics, and parades. Some churches deck their sanctuary with red, white, and blue, and devote the worship service to the honor of the state. Other Christians virtually ignore this or any other national holiday. This raises the question, “How does Christianity tell us to think about patriotism?” … I am probably not typical in that my conversion to faith in Jesus Christ, which occurred when I was 30 years old, required me immediately to recast my ideas of patriotism. At first, I was tempted to reject the idea of patriotism altogether, since I had been transferred out of the world into the kingdom of Jesus Christ. However, even though my relationship with Jesus greatly altered my attitude towards flag and country, I soon realized that there is a Christian patriotism that believers should feel towards their country… Let me point out patriotic views and attitudes that Christians must reject [and should accept].

THE national railway of France has backtracked on plans to cancel a popular service that allows children to travel alone over Christmas.
SNCF said it was cancelling the service. The service provides for children aged between four and 14 years to be accompanied by a monitor because of strike action.
The move sparked outcry, with some 5,000 children expected to be affected, the BBC is reporting.
But following a “Christmas truce” from some striking drivers, SNCF said it was laying on special trains on Sunday, the BBC noted.

Our annual narrow boat trip went well as always.
An interview with Sam Hadfield, by Jill Diamond
“Be careful who you meet on the Internet! You just never know. That may be, but then how would’ve I been able to reach over mountains, under oceans and across continents to discover a protagonist like Sam Hadfield? I live in New York and he, as you’ll learn, is very much a citizen of the UK. Whenever people knock sites like Facebook, I think about people like Sam, and how good thoughts and deeds stretch thousands of miles, inspiring and resonating where needed. If I never meet another Sam Hadfield, I’ll remember him, and die smiling.”

These newborn portraits were photographed in my Vancouver Studio which makes for a very classic, clean portrait. I love this space for it’s simplicity, gentle light, and heritage radiator, large windows and wood floors. My clients often remark that the space is quite peaceful and beautiful. I have a couch that converts into a bed which is perfect for portraits of newborns.
I recommend newborn portraits are done within the first week or around the one month mark. This little guy was about a month old for his session which meant he was more aware but also still so little and cuddly!

Artist Thomas Darnell captures an array of expression in his work, from realistic landscapes and flower paintings to minimalistic abstraction. Inspired by the surroundings of his life in France, as well as the movement of pattern, light, and memory; his work is full of emotion and intrigue.
Tell us about your background; how did you begin painting? I was always interested in both art and science and had thought about medical school after graduation from the University of Texas. Instead I decided to go the art route I think because it “felt” right and also because along the way I had some really amazing art teachers early on who encouraged me. I first worked in graphic design and illustration but it wasn’t long before I realized that I wanted to pursue painting. I tried painting on the side but with my full time job and part time freelance work, I simply didn’t have time or energy to give it my all. That changed in 1990 when my first wife died from breast cancer; she had been working full-time in public relations but her true passion was creative writing and poetry. That dark period left me with a choice: fall further into depression and cling to my secure job or start a new life and make the most of the time I have left. At that time I also underwent a profound spiritual awakening and I finally felt like I had something important to say with my art. So I took the plunge, quit work, moved to Paris and started painting full time.
“I think beauty can be subversive in a positive way; it stimulates the same area in our brain that love does therefore it can be nurturing and healing.”
How would you describe or categorize your artwork? It’s hard to categorize my work because it is diverse: from realistic landscapes and flower paintings to minimalistic abstraction. My work has been linked to “Pulchrism” an art movement whereby beauty is paramount. Describing it is easier: luminous with a soothing and peaceful vibe. I think beauty can be subversive in a positive way; it stimulates the same area in our brain that love does therefore it can be nurturing and healing.
Where do you look for inspiration? Ideas for paintings seem to pop into my head from out of nowhere; it’s more of a gut feeling than something premeditated. It could also be something that presents itself in nature: the way the light falls on a tree or vista, bird murmurations, ocean waves… that inspires me to capture the feeling of that moment.
How does your home in the south of France influence your work? It is truly an aesthetic life here with beautiful small villages, rolling hills and vineyards; the quality of the light is legendary. I try to take it all in and translate that calm peacefulness into my painting. Also, I am easily distracted in cities so the slow pace of rural life gives me plenty of time to produce my work and remain focused.
What is it about flowers specifically that you’re drawn to aesthetically, as they’re a main focus of your artwork: I originally started painting flowers to exhibit with my abstract light paintings; they reinforce each other both visually and emotionally. They speak to the ephemeral, life cycles, and the beautiful positive aspects of our higher selves. The endless details can be therapeutic and the technical control I learn from producing academic realistic images enables me to make better abstract paintings.
What is your most personally moving piece to-date? I would have to say one of my abstract light paintings which chronicle a spiritual event that happened in 1989 which changed my life. Another more recent painting, ”The Sea at Night” is about the idea of acceptance and letting go. I had a battle with leukemia a few years ago and this image depicts that feeling of not knowing whether I was going to sink into the abyss or wash up to the shore.
How do you encourage creativity among your children? Kids are naturally creative and inventive although not always with the best intentions. The schools in France are very classical and traditional and the kind of environment where you are told to always color inside the lines.
I think as kids work their way through the school system their natural creativity gets further and further muted until it is killed off altogether and they become conformists. I have always tried to teach my own kids that it’s okay to color outside the lines. In fact, I used that argument when they were asking to get tattoos like all their friends; I told them it was “just so conformist and commonplace” and it has worked, at least for now. Our daughter Ava is interested in doing some kind of social work and my son Joseph is studying international commerce. I tell them to always keep their creative spirit alive as it will help them in whatever work they decide to pursue.

As a parent, the safety and health of your child is paramount. This is why CPR and first aid training is so critical. Both CPR and first aid training were developed to prepare people for certain dire and emergency incidents. People in many different industries, like teachers, are required to get their certificate before they are applicable to start work and some occupations may make first aid and CPR training a mandatory part of the application process. As a parent, it may not be legally required, but it could potentially save your child’s life. Here are some benefits of CPR and first aid training for parents.
- Identify health issues before it’s too late. It can be hard to know when someone is choking or if food just went down the wrong pipe. Knowing that distinction could mean the difference between life and death. If you notice that your child is choking, you can spring into action. You will also know what to do to sooth your child if food simply went down the wrong pipe.
- Your home will be safer. Children can be clumsy and they can get themselves into some tricky situations. CPR and first aid training will better prepare you for a wide array of different scenarios. So, if you want to take measures to make your home safer, you want to learn CPR and first aid. Not only will training give you some vital medical training tips, but it could also save a life.
- Help go through extreme storms and disasters. With first aid training, you will be better equipped to handle storms and natural disasters. For instance, an earthquake or tornado could strike and injure you or one of your children. If someone in your household suffered from a wound, your training will give you the knowledge you need to stop the bleeding. The same goes if there is another type of severe injury.
- Make sure your baby or newborn is safe. Newborns and toddlers can be at risk for a number of health issues, so having CPR and first aid training could prepare you for these risks – it will also give you the knowledge and tools you need to spring into action. For instance, what happens if your newborn suddenly can’t breathe or is showing signs of distress? – Your training will give you the knowledge and know-how to save your baby’s life.
- It is your parental duty. As a parent, it is your responsibility to look after your child and to make sure your child grows up to be a healthy adult. When it comes down to it, CPR and first aid training can fulfill your parental duties. In the end, you don’t need to attend the Medical Education & Research Institute to perform CPR or administer first aid – all you need is a few hours of training at a registered facility to get your certification. Most of these training programs take anywhere from a few hours to complete – to two weeks. In the end, isn’t ensuring the safety of your family worth it?

From the consumer’s viewpoint, the overall concept could not really be any easier. In 1998, Home Shopping Network launched a Spanish-language service Home Shopping en Español on the Univision-owned Galavision cable community. The transfer is a play to compete with the 2 largest on-line retailers at a time that house-procuring community gross sales are dropping. Let’s have a look on the Arbonne company and an introduction at the best way to build a large community marketing business. HSN acquired the Internet Shopping Network in an effort to establish a web-based shopping center by way of which to market its merchandise and people of other retailers.
If you should access any websites that store or require the enter of any sensitive info – together with social networking, online shopping and on-line banking websites – it could be worthwhile accessing them by way of your cell phone community, instead of the general public Wi-Fi connection. It’s a good suggestion to keep away from logging into web sites where there’s a chance that cybercriminals could capture your id, passwords or private info – resembling social networking websites, on-line banking providers or any web sites that store your credit card data.
That would make the mixed community the third-largest within the U.S. by sales, behind Amazon ( AMZN ) and Walmart ( WMT ). In November 1997, Diller offered an HSN community in Baltimore , Maryland—WHSW—in order to set the groundwork for his Silver King Communications’ planned three way partnership with the Universal Television Group and the USA Networks. This is one area where traditional business and Network Marketing differ somewhat significantly.
I even have watched her since she got here on the scene from CVN to QVC, and he or she has always been respectful to others and down-to-earth, NEVER snotty as different hosts/hostesses I have seen on home buying channels as I even have been looking forward to years. Credit card purchases will likely be credited, or for a cash sale a refund examine can be issued for the entire purchase value, together with shipping and handling. That added 500,000 viewers to its Home Shopping Club in the form of new Tele-Communications Inc.

They advised me that they will put a credit on my account now and I ought to call in to position the order. The customer support rep stated she would speak to her supervisor and get right again to me with a telephone call. A growing variety of retailers, from American Apparel to Radio Shack, have filed for chapter safety.

"Delightful!" said Bolkonski. "But I have come to you, Prince, as a petitioner on behalf of this young man. You see..." but before Prince Andrew could finish, an aide-de-camp came in to summon Dolgorukov to the Emperor.
"Oh, what a nuisance," said Dolgorukov, getting up hurriedly and pressing the hands of Prince Andrew and Boris. "You know I should be very glad to do all in my power both for you and for this dear young man." Again he pressed the hand of the latter with an expression of good-natured, sincere, and animated levity. "But you see... another time!"
Boris was excited by the thought of being so close to the higher powers as he felt himself to be at that moment. He was conscious that here he was in contact with the springs that set in motion the enormous movements of the mass of which in his regiment he felt himself a tiny, obedient, and insignificant atom. They followed Prince Dolgorukov out into the corridor and met—coming out of the door of the Emperor's room by which Dolgorukov had entered—a short man in civilian clothes with a clever face and sharply projecting jaw which, without spoiling his face, gave him a peculiar vivacity and shiftiness of expression. This short man nodded to Dolgorukov as to an intimate friend and stared at Prince Andrew with cool intensity, walking straight toward him and evidently expecting him to bow or to step out of his way. Prince Andrew did neither: a look of animosity appeared on his face and the other turned away and went down the side of the corridor.
"Who was that?" asked Boris.
"He is one of the most remarkable, but to me most unpleasant of men—the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prince Adam Czartoryski.... It is such men as he who decide the fate of nations," added Bolkonski with a sigh he could not suppress, as they passed out of the palace.
Next day, the army began its campaign, and up to the very battle of Austerlitz, Boris was unable to see either Prince Andrew or Dolgorukov again and remained for a while with the Ismaylov regiment.
At dawn on the sixteenth of November, Denisov's squadron, in which Nicholas Rostov served and which was in Prince Bagration's detachment, moved from the place where it had spent the night, advancing into action as arranged, and after going behind other columns for about two thirds of a mile was stopped on the highroad. Rostov saw the Cossacks and then the first and second squadrons of hussars and infantry battalions and artillery pass by and go forward and then Generals Bagration and Dolgorukov ride past with their adjutants. All the fear before action which he had experienced as previously, all the inner struggle to conquer that fear, all his dreams of distinguishing himself as a true hussar in this battle, had been wasted. Their squadron remained in reserve and Nicholas Rostov spent that day in a dull and wretched mood. At nine in the morning, he heard firing in front and shouts of hurrah, and saw wounded being brought back (there were not many of them), and at last he saw how a whole detachment of French cavalry was brought in, convoyed by a sotnya of Cossacks. Evidently the affair was over and, though not big, had been a successful engagement. The men and officers returning spoke of a brilliant victory, of the occupation of the town of Wischau and the capture of a whole French squadron. The day was bright and sunny after a sharp night frost, and the cheerful glitter of that autumn day was in keeping with the news of victory which was conveyed, not only by the tales of those who had taken part in it, but also by the joyful expression on the faces of soldiers, officers, generals, and adjutants, as they passed Rostov going or coming. And Nicholas, who had vainly suffered all the dread that precedes a battle and had spent that happy day in inactivity, was all the more depressed.
"Come here, Wostov. Let's dwink to dwown our gwief!" shouted Denisov, who had settled down by the roadside with a flask and some food.
The officers gathered round Denisov's canteen, eating and talking.
"There! They are bringing another!" cried one of the officers, indicating a captive French dragoon who was being brought in on foot by two Cossacks.
One of them was leading by the bridle a fine large French horse he had taken from the prisoner.
"Sell us that horse!" Denisov called out to the Cossacks.
"If you like, your honor!"
The officers got up and stood round the Cossacks and their prisoner. The French dragoon was a young Alsatian who spoke French with a German accent. He was breathless with agitation, his face was red, and when he heard some French spoken he at once began speaking to the officers, addressing first one, then another. He said he would not have been taken, it was not his fault but the corporal's who had sent him to seize some horsecloths, though he had told him the Russians were there. And at every word he added: "But don't hurt my little horse!" and stroked the animal. It was plain that he did not quite grasp where he was. Now he excused himself for having been taken prisoner and now, imagining himself before his own officers, insisted on his soldierly discipline and zeal in the service. He brought with him into our rearguard all the freshness of atmosphere of the French army, which was so alien to us.
The Cossacks sold the horse for two gold pieces, and Rostov, being the richest of the officers now that he had received his money, bought it.
"But don't hurt my little horse!" said the Alsatian good-naturedly to Rostov when the animal was handed over to the hussar.
Rostov smilingly reassured the dragoon and gave him money.
"Alley! Alley!" said the Cossack, touching the prisoner's arm to make him go on.
"The Emperor! The Emperor!" was suddenly heard among the hussars.
All began to run and bustle, and Rostov saw coming up the road behind him several riders with white plumes in their hats. In a moment everyone was in his place, waiting.
Rostov did not know or remember how he ran to his place and mounted. Instantly his regret at not having been in action and his dejected mood amid people of whom he was weary had gone, instantly every thought of himself had vanished. He was filled with happiness at his nearness to the Emperor. He felt that this nearness by itself made up to him for the day he had lost. He was happy as a lover when the longed-for moment of meeting arrives. Not daring to look round and without looking round, he was ecstatically conscious of his approach. He felt it not only from the sound of the hoofs of the approaching cavalcade, but because as he drew near everything grew brighter, more joyful, more significant, and more festive around him. Nearer and nearer to Rostov came that sun shedding beams of mild and majestic light around, and already he felt himself enveloped in those beams, he heard his voice, that kindly, calm, and majestic voice that was yet so simple! And as if in accord with Rostov's feeling, there was a deathly stillness amid which was heard the Emperor's voice.
"The Pavlograd hussars?" he inquired.
"The reserves, sire!" replied a voice, a very human one compared to that which had said: "The Pavlograd hussars?"
The Emperor drew level with Rostov and halted. Alexander's face was even more beautiful than it had been three days before at the review. It shone with such gaiety and youth, such innocent youth, that it suggested the liveliness of a fourteen-year-old boy, and yet it was the face of the majestic Emperor. Casually, while surveying the squadron, the Emperor's eyes met Rostov's and rested on them for not more than two seconds. Whether or no the Emperor understood what was going on in Rostov's soul (it seemed to Rostov that he understood everything), at any rate his light-blue eyes gazed for about two seconds into Rostov's face. A gentle, mild light poured from them. Then all at once he raised his eyebrows, abruptly touched his horse with his left foot, and galloped on.
The younger Emperor could not restrain his wish to be present at the battle and, in spite of the remonstrances of his courtiers, at twelve o'clock left the third column with which he had been and galloped toward the vanguard. Before he came up with the hussars, several adjutants met him with news of the successful result of the action.
This battle, which consisted in the capture of a French squadron, was represented as a brilliant victory over the French, and so the Emperor and the whole army, especially while the smoke hung over the battlefield, believed that the French had been defeated and were retreating against their will. A few minutes after the Emperor had passed, the Pavlograd division was ordered to advance. In Wischau itself, a petty German town, Rostov saw the Emperor again. In the market place, where there had been some rather heavy firing before the Emperor's arrival, lay several killed and wounded soldiers whom there had not been time to move. The Emperor, surrounded by his suite of officers and courtiers, was riding a bobtailed chestnut mare, a different one from that which he had ridden at the review, and bending to one side he gracefully held a gold lorgnette to his eyes and looked at a soldier who lay prone, with blood on his uncovered head. The wounded soldier was so dirty, coarse, and revolting that his proximity to the Emperor shocked Rostov. Rostov saw how the Emperor's rather round shoulders shuddered as if a cold shiver had run down them, how his left foot began convulsively tapping the horse's side with the spur, and how the well-trained horse looked round unconcerned and did not stir. An adjutant, dismounting, lifted the soldier under the arms to place him on a stretcher that had been brought. The soldier groaned.
"Gently, gently! Can't you do it more gently?" said the Emperor apparently suffering more than the dying soldier, and he rode away.
Rostov saw tears filling the Emperor's eyes and heard him, as he was riding away, say to Czartoryski: "What a terrible thing war is: what a terrible thing! Quelle terrible chose que la guerre!"
The troops of the vanguard were stationed before Wischau, within sight of the enemy's lines, which all day long had yielded ground to us at the least firing. The Emperor's gratitude was announced to the vanguard, rewards were promised, and the men received a double ration of vodka. The campfires crackled and the soldiers' songs resounded even more merrily than on the previous night. Denisov celebrated his promotion to the rank of major, and Rostov, who had already drunk enough, at the end of the feast proposed the Emperor's health. "Not 'our Sovereign, the Emperor,' as they say at official dinners," said he, "but the health of our Sovereign, that good, enchanting, and great man! Let us drink to his health and to the certain defeat of the French!"
"If we fought before," he said, "not letting the French pass, as at Schon Grabern, what shall we not do now when he is at the front? We will all die for him gladly! Is it not so, gentlemen? Perhaps I am not saying it right, I have drunk a good deal—but that is how I feel, and so do you too! To the health of Alexander the First! Hurrah!"
"Hurrah!" rang the enthusiastic voices of the officers.
And the old cavalry captain, Kirsten, shouted enthusiastically and no less sincerely than the twenty-year-old Rostov.
When the officers had emptied and smashed their glasses, Kirsten filled others and, in shirt sleeves and breeches, went glass in hand to the soldiers' bonfires and with his long gray mustache, his white chest showing under his open shirt, he stood in a majestic pose in the light of the campfire, waving his uplifted arm.
"Lads! here's to our Sovereign, the Emperor, and victory over our enemies! Hurrah!" he exclaimed in his dashing, old, hussar's baritone.
The hussars crowded round and responded heartily with loud shouts.
Late that night, when all had separated, Denisov with his short hand patted his favorite, Rostov, on the shoulder.
"As there's no one to fall in love with on campaign, he's fallen in love with the Tsar," he said.
"Denisov, don't make fun of it!" cried Rostov. "It is such a lofty, beautiful feeling, such a..."
"I believe it, I believe it, fwiend, and I share and appwove..."
"No, you don't understand!"
And Rostov got up and went wandering among the campfires, dreaming of what happiness it would be to die—not in saving the Emperor's life (he did not even dare to dream of that), but simply to die before his eyes. He really was in love with the Tsar and the glory of the Russian arms and the hope of future triumph. And he was not the only man to experience that feeling during those memorable days preceding the battle of Austerlitz: nine tenths of the men in the Russian army were then in love, though less ecstatically, with their Tsar and the glory of the Russian arms.
The next day the Emperor stopped at Wischau, and Villier, his physician, was repeatedly summoned to see him. At headquarters and among the troops near by the news spread that the Emperor was unwell. He ate nothing and had slept badly that night, those around him reported. The cause of this indisposition was the strong impression made on his sensitive mind by the sight of the killed and wounded.
At daybreak on the seventeenth, a French officer who had come with a flag of truce, demanding an audience with the Russian Emperor, was brought into Wischau from our outposts. This officer was Savary. The Emperor had only just fallen asleep and so Savary had to wait. At midday he was admitted to the Emperor, and an hour later he rode off with Prince Dolgorukov to the advanced post of the French army.
It was rumored that Savary had been sent to propose to Alexander a meeting with Napoleon. To the joy and pride of the whole army, a personal interview was refused, and instead of the Sovereign, Prince Dolgorukov, the victor at Wischau, was sent with Savary to negotiate with Napoleon if, contrary to expectations, these negotiations were actuated by a real desire for peace.
Toward evening Dolgorukov came back, went straight to the Tsar, and remained alone with him for a long time.
On the eighteenth and nineteenth of November, the army advanced two days' march and the enemy's outposts after a brief interchange of shots retreated. In the highest army circles from midday on the nineteenth, a great, excitedly bustling activity began which lasted till the morning of the twentieth, when the memorable battle of Austerlitz was fought.
Till midday on the nineteenth, the activity—the eager talk, running to and fro, and dispatching of adjutants—was confined to the Emperor's headquarters. But on the afternoon of that day, this activity reached Kutuzov's headquarters and the staffs of the commanders of columns. By evening, the adjutants had spread it to all ends and parts of the army, and in the night from the nineteenth to the twentieth, the whole eighty thousand allied troops rose from their bivouacs to the hum of voices, and the army swayed and started in one enormous mass six miles long.
The concentrated activity which had begun at the Emperor's headquarters in the morning and had started the whole movement that followed was like the first movement of the main wheel of a large tower clock. One wheel slowly moved, another was set in motion, and a third, and wheels began to revolve faster and faster, levers and cogwheels to work, chimes to play, figures to pop out, and the hands to advance with regular motion as a result of all that activity.
Just as in the mechanism of a clock, so in the mechanism of the military machine, an impulse once given leads to the final result; and just as indifferently quiescent till the moment when motion is transmitted to them are the parts of the mechanism which the impulse has not yet reached. Wheels creak on their axles as the cogs engage one another and the revolving pulleys whirr with the rapidity of their movement, but a neighboring wheel is as quiet and motionless as though it were prepared to remain so for a hundred years; but the moment comes when the lever catches it and obeying the impulse that wheel begins to creak and joins in the common motion the result and aim of which are beyond its ken.
Just as in a clock, the result of the complicated motion of innumerable wheels and pulleys is merely a slow and regular movement of the hands which show the time, so the result of all the complicated human activities of 160,000 Russians and French—all their passions, desires, remorse, humiliations, sufferings, outbursts of pride, fear, and enthusiasm—was only the loss of the battle of Austerlitz, the so-called battle of the three Emperors—that is to say, a slow movement of the hand on the dial of human history.
Prince Andrew was on duty that day and in constant attendance on the commander in chief.
At six in the evening, Kutuzov went to the Emperor's headquarters and after staying but a short time with the Tsar went to see the grand marshal of the court, Count Tolstoy.
Bolkonski took the opportunity to go in to get some details of the coming action from Dolgorukov. He felt that Kutuzov was upset and dissatisfied about something and that at headquarters they were dissatisfied with him, and also that at the Emperor's headquarters everyone adopted toward him the tone of men who know something others do not know: he therefore wished to speak to Dolgorukov.
"Well, how d'you do, my dear fellow?" said Dolgorukov, who was sitting at tea with Bilibin. "The fete is for tomorrow. How is your old fellow? Out of sorts?"
"I won't say he is out of sorts, but I fancy he would like to be heard."
"But they heard him at the council of war and will hear him when he talks sense, but to temporize and wait for something now when Bonaparte fears nothing so much as a general battle is impossible."
"Yes, you have seen him?" said Prince Andrew. "Well, what is Bonaparte like? How did he impress you?"
"Yes, I saw him, and am convinced that he fears nothing so much as a general engagement," repeated Dolgorukov, evidently prizing this general conclusion which he had arrived at from his interview with Napoleon. "If he weren't afraid of a battle why did he ask for that interview? Why negotiate, and above all why retreat, when to retreat is so contrary to his method of conducting war? Believe me, he is afraid, afraid of a general battle. His hour has come! Mark my words!"
"But tell me, what is he like, eh?" said Prince Andrew again.
"He is a man in a gray overcoat, very anxious that I should call him 'Your Majesty,' but who, to his chagrin, got no title from me! That's the sort of man he is, and nothing more," replied Dolgorukov, looking round at Bilibin with a smile.
"Despite my great respect for old Kutuzov," he continued, "we should be a nice set of fellows if we were to wait about and so give him a chance to escape, or to trick us, now that we certainly have him in our hands! No, we mustn't forget Suvorov and his rule—not to put yourself in a position to be attacked, but yourself to attack. Believe me in war the energy of young men often shows the way better than all the experience of old Cunctators."
"But in what position are we going to attack him? I have been at the outposts today and it is impossible to say where his chief forces are situated," said Prince Andrew.
He wished to explain to Dolgorukov a plan of attack he had himself formed.
"Oh, that is all the same," Dolgorukov said quickly, and getting up he spread a map on the table. "All eventualities have been foreseen. If he is standing before Brunn..."
And Prince Dolgorukov rapidly but indistinctly explained Weyrother's plan of a flanking movement.
Prince Andrew began to reply and to state his own plan, which might have been as good as Weyrother's, but for the disadvantage that Weyrother's had already been approved. As soon as Prince Andrew began to demonstrate the defects of the latter and the merits of his own plan, Prince Dolgorukov ceased to listen to him and gazed absent-mindedly not at the map, but at Prince Andrew's face.
"There will be a council of war at Kutuzov's tonight, though; you can say all this there," remarked Dolgorukov.
"I will do so," said Prince Andrew, moving away from the map.
"Whatever are you bothering about, gentlemen?" said Bilibin, who, till then, had listened with an amused smile to their conversation and now was evidently ready with a joke. "Whether tomorrow brings victory or defeat, the glory of our Russian arms is secure. Except your Kutuzov, there is not a single Russian in command of a column! The commanders are: Herr General Wimpfen, le Comte de Langeron, le Prince de Lichtenstein, le Prince, de Hohenlohe, and finally Prishprish, and so on like all those Polish names."
"Be quiet, backbiter!" said Dolgorukov. "It is not true; there are now two Russians, Miloradovich, and Dokhturov, and there would be a third, Count Arakcheev, if his nerves were not too weak."
"However, I think General Kutuzov has come out," said Prince Andrew. "I wish you good luck and success, gentlemen!" he added and went out after shaking hands with Dolgorukov and Bilibin.
On the way home, Prince Andrew could not refrain from asking Kutuzov, who was sitting silently beside him, what he thought of tomorrow's battle.
Kutuzov looked sternly at his adjutant and, after a pause, replied: "I think the battle will be lost, and so I told Count Tolstoy and asked him to tell the Emperor. What do you think he replied? 'But, my dear general, I am engaged with rice and cutlets, look after military matters yourself!' Yes... That was the answer I got!"
Shortly after nine o'clock that evening, Weyrother drove with his plans to Kutuzov's quarters where the council of war was to be held. All the commanders of columns were summoned to the commander in chief's and with the exception of Prince Bagration, who declined to come, were all there at the appointed time.
Weyrother, who was in full control of the proposed battle, by his eagerness and briskness presented a marked contrast to the dissatisfied and drowsy Kutuzov, who reluctantly played the part of chairman and president of the council of war. Weyrother evidently felt himself to be at the head of a movement that had already become unrestrainable. He was like a horse running downhill harnessed to a heavy cart. Whether he was pulling it or being pushed by it he did not know, but rushed along at headlong speed with no time to consider what this movement might lead to. Weyrother had been twice that evening to the enemy's picket line to reconnoiter personally, and twice to the Emperors, Russian and Austrian, to report and explain, and to his headquarters where he had dictated the dispositions in German, and now, much exhausted, he arrived at Kutuzov's.
He was evidently so busy that he even forgot to be polite to the commander in chief. He interrupted him, talked rapidly and indistinctly, without looking at the man he was addressing, and did not reply to questions put to him. He was bespattered with mud and had a pitiful, weary, and distracted air, though at the same time he was haughty and self-confident.
Kutuzov was occupying a nobleman's castle of modest dimensions near Ostralitz. In the large drawing room which had become the commander in chief's office were gathered Kutuzov himself, Weyrother, and the members of the council of war. They were drinking tea, and only awaited Prince Bagration to begin the council. At last Bagration's orderly came with the news that the prince could not attend. Prince Andrew came in to inform the commander in chief of this and, availing himself of permission previously given him by Kutuzov to be present at the council, he remained in the room.
"Since Prince Bagration is not coming, we may begin," said Weyrother, hurriedly rising from his seat and going up to the table on which an enormous map of the environs of Brunn was spread out.
Kutuzov, with his uniform unbuttoned so that his fat neck bulged over his collar as if escaping, was sitting almost asleep in a low chair, with his podgy old hands resting symmetrically on its arms. At the sound of Weyrother's voice, he opened his one eye with an effort.
"Yes, yes, if you please! It is already late," said he, and nodding his head he let it droop and again closed his eye.
If at first the members of the council thought that Kutuzov was pretending to sleep, the sounds his nose emitted during the reading that followed proved that the commander in chief at that moment was absorbed by a far more serious matter than a desire to show his contempt for the dispositions or anything else—he was engaged in satisfying the irresistible human need for sleep. He really was asleep. Weyrother, with the gesture of a man too busy to lose a moment, glanced at Kutuzov and, having convinced himself that he was asleep, took up a paper and in a loud, monotonous voice began to read out the dispositions for the impending battle, under a heading which he also read out:
"Dispositions for an attack on the enemy position behind Kobelnitz and Sokolnitz, November 30, 1805."
The dispositions were very complicated and difficult. They began as follows:
"As the enemy's left wing rests on wooded hills and his right extends along Kobelnitz and Sokolnitz behind the ponds that are there, while we, on the other hand, with our left wing by far outflank his right, it is advantageous to attack the enemy's latter wing especially if we occupy the villages of Sokolnitz and Kobelnitz, whereby we can both fall on his flank and pursue him over the plain between Schlappanitz and the Thuerassa forest, avoiding the defiles of Schlappanitz and Bellowitz which cover the enemy's front. For this object it is necessary that... The first column marches... The second column marches... The third column marches..." and so on, read Weyrother.
The generals seemed to listen reluctantly to the difficult dispositions. The tall, fair-haired General Buxhowden stood, leaning his back against the wall, his eyes fixed on a burning candle, and seemed not to listen or even to wish to be thought to listen. Exactly opposite Weyrother, with his glistening wide-open eyes fixed upon him and his mustache twisted upwards, sat the ruddy Miloradovich in a military pose, his elbows turned outwards, his hands on his knees, and his shoulders raised. He remained stubbornly silent, gazing at Weyrother's face, and only turned away his eyes when the Austrian chief of staff finished reading. Then Miloradovich looked round significantly at the other generals. But one could not tell from that significant look whether he agreed or disagreed and was satisfied or not with the arrangements. Next to Weyrother sat Count Langeron who, with a subtle smile that never left his typically southern French face during the whole time of the reading, gazed at his delicate fingers which rapidly twirled by its corners a gold snuffbox on which was a portrait. In the middle of one of the longest sentences, he stopped the rotary motion of the snuffbox, raised his head, and with inimical politeness lurking in the corners of his thin lips interrupted Weyrother, wishing to say something. But the Austrian general, continuing to read, frowned angrily and jerked his elbows, as if to say: "You can tell me your views later, but now be so good as to look at the map and listen." Langeron lifted his eyes with an expression of perplexity, turned round to Miloradovich as if seeking an explanation, but meeting the latter's impressive but meaningless gaze drooped his eyes sadly and again took to twirling his snuffbox.
"A geography lesson!" he muttered as if to himself, but loud enough to be heard.
Przebyszewski, with respectful but dignified politeness, held his hand to his ear toward Weyrother, with the air of a man absorbed in attention. Dohkturov, a little man, sat opposite Weyrother, with an assiduous and modest mien, and stooping over the outspread map conscientiously studied the dispositions and the unfamiliar locality. He asked Weyrother several times to repeat words he had not clearly heard and the difficult names of villages. Weyrother complied and Dohkturov noted them down.
When the reading which lasted more than an hour was over, Langeron again brought his snuffbox to rest and, without looking at Weyrother or at anyone in particular, began to say how difficult it was to carry out such a plan in which the enemy's position was assumed to be known, whereas it was perhaps not known, since the enemy was in movement. Langeron's objections were valid but it was obvious that their chief aim was to show General Weyrother—who had read his dispositions with as much self-confidence as if he were addressing school children—that he had to do, not with fools, but with men who could teach him something in military matters.
When the monotonous sound of Weyrother's voice ceased, Kutuzov opened his eye as a miller wakes up when the soporific drone of the mill wheel is interrupted. He listened to what Langeron said, as if remarking, "So you are still at that silly business!" quickly closed his eye again, and let his head sink still lower.
Langeron, trying as virulently as possible to sting Weyrother's vanity as author of the military plan, argued that Bonaparte might easily attack instead of being attacked, and so render the whole of this plan perfectly worthless. Weyrother met all objections with a firm and contemptuous smile, evidently prepared beforehand to meet all objections be they what they might.
"If he could attack us, he would have done so today," said he.
"So you think he is powerless?" said Langeron.
"He has forty thousand men at most," replied Weyrother, with the smile of a doctor to whom an old wife wishes to explain the treatment of a case.
"In that case he is inviting his doom by awaiting our attack," said Langeron, with a subtly ironical smile, again glancing round for support to Miloradovich who was near him.
But Miloradovich was at that moment evidently thinking of anything rather than of what the generals were disputing about.
"Ma foi!" said he, "tomorrow we shall see all that on the battlefield."
Weyrother again gave that smile which seemed to say that to him it was strange and ridiculous to meet objections from Russian generals and to have to prove to them what he had not merely convinced himself of, but had also convinced the sovereign Emperors of.
"The enemy has quenched his fires and a continual noise is heard from his camp," said he. "What does that mean? Either he is retreating, which is the only thing we need fear, or he is changing his position." (He smiled ironically.) "But even if he also took up a position in the Thuerassa, he merely saves us a great deal of trouble and all our arrangements to the minutest detail remain the same."
"How is that?..." began Prince Andrew, who had for long been waiting an opportunity to express his doubts.
Kutuzov here woke up, coughed heavily, and looked round at the generals.
"Gentlemen, the dispositions for tomorrow—or rather for today, for it is past midnight—cannot now be altered," said he. "You have heard them, and we shall all do our duty. But before a battle, there is nothing more important..." he paused, "than to have a good sleep."
He moved as if to rise. The generals bowed and retired. It was past midnight. Prince Andrew went out.
The council of war, at which Prince Andrew had not been able to express his opinion as he had hoped to, left on him a vague and uneasy impression. Whether Dolgorukov and Weyrother, or Kutuzov, Langeron, and the others who did not approve of the plan of attack, were right—he did not know. "But was it really not possible for Kutuzov to state his views plainly to the Emperor? Is it possible that on account of court and personal considerations tens of thousands of lives, and my life, my life," he thought, "must be risked?"
"Yes, it is very likely that I shall be killed tomorrow," he thought. And suddenly, at this thought of death, a whole series of most distant, most intimate, memories rose in his imagination: he remembered his last parting from his father and his wife; he remembered the days when he first loved her. He thought of her pregnancy and felt sorry for her and for himself, and in a nervously emotional and softened mood he went out of the hut in which he was billeted with Nesvitski and began to walk up and down before it.
The night was foggy and through the fog the moonlight gleamed mysteriously. "Yes, tomorrow, tomorrow!" he thought. "Tomorrow everything may be over for me! All these memories will be no more, none of them will have any meaning for me. Tomorrow perhaps, even certainly, I have a presentiment that for the first time I shall have to show all I can do." And his fancy pictured the battle, its loss, the concentration of fighting at one point, and the hesitation of all the commanders. And then that happy moment, that Toulon for which he had so long waited, presents itself to him at last. He firmly and clearly expresses his opinion to Kutuzov, to Weyrother, and to the Emperors. All are struck by the justness of his views, but no one undertakes to carry them out, so he takes a regiment, a division-stipulates that no one is to interfere with his arrangements—leads his division to the decisive point, and gains the victory alone. "But death and suffering?" suggested another voice. Prince Andrew, however, did not answer that voice and went on dreaming of his triumphs. The dispositions for the next battle are planned by him alone. Nominally he is only an adjutant on Kutuzov's staff, but he does everything alone. The next battle is won by him alone. Kutuzov is removed and he is appointed... "Well and then?" asked the other voice. "If before that you are not ten times wounded, killed, or betrayed, well... what then?..." "Well then," Prince Andrew answered himself, "I don't know what will happen and don't want to know, and can't, but if I want this—want glory, want to be known to men, want to be loved by them, it is not my fault that I want it and want nothing but that and live only for that. Yes, for that alone! I shall never tell anyone, but, oh God! what am I to do if I love nothing but fame and men's esteem? Death, wounds, the loss of family—I fear nothing. And precious and dear as many persons are to me—father, sister, wife—those dearest to me—yet dreadful and unnatural as it seems, I would give them all at once for a moment of glory, of triumph over men, of love from men I don't know and never shall know, for the love of these men here," he thought, as he listened to voices in Kutuzov's courtyard. The voices were those of the orderlies who were packing up; one voice, probably a coachman's, was teasing Kutuzov's old cook whom Prince Andrew knew, and who was called Tit. He was saying, "Tit, I say, Tit!"
"Well?" returned the old man.
"Go, Tit, thresh a bit!" said the wag.
"Oh, go to the devil!" called out a voice, drowned by the laughter of the orderlies and servants.
"All the same, I love and value nothing but triumph over them all, I value this mystic power and glory that is floating here above me in this mist!"
That same night, Rostov was with a platoon on skirmishing duty in front of Bagration's detachment. His hussars were placed along the line in couples and he himself rode along the line trying to master the sleepiness that kept coming over him. An enormous space, with our army's campfires dimly glowing in the fog, could be seen behind him; in front of him was misty darkness. Rostov could see nothing, peer as he would into that foggy distance: now something gleamed gray, now there was something black, now little lights seemed to glimmer where the enemy ought to be, now he fancied it was only something in his own eyes. His eyes kept closing, and in his fancy appeared—now the Emperor, now Denisov, and now Moscow memories—and he again hurriedly opened his eyes and saw close before him the head and ears of the horse he was riding, and sometimes, when he came within six paces of them, the black figures of hussars, but in the distance was still the same misty darkness. "Why not?... It might easily happen," thought Rostov, "that the Emperor will meet me and give me an order as he would to any other officer; he'll say: 'Go and find out what's there.' There are many stories of his getting to know an officer in just such a chance way and attaching him to himself! What if he gave me a place near him? Oh, how I would guard him, how I would tell him the truth, how I would unmask his deceivers!" And in order to realize vividly his love devotion to the sovereign, Rostov pictured to himself an enemy or a deceitful German, whom he would not only kill with pleasure but whom he would slap in the face before the Emperor. Suddenly a distant shout aroused him. He started and opened his eyes.
"Where am I? Oh yes, in the skirmishing line... pass and watchword—shaft, Olmutz. What a nuisance that our squadron will be in reserve tomorrow," he thought. "I'll ask leave to go to the front, this may be my only chance of seeing the Emperor. It won't be long now before I am off duty. I'll take another turn and when I get back I'll go to the general and ask him." He readjusted himself in the saddle and touched up his horse to ride once more round his hussars. It seemed to him that it was getting lighter. To the left he saw a sloping descent lit up, and facing it a black knoll that seemed as steep as a wall. On this knoll there was a white patch that Rostov could not at all make out: was it a glade in the wood lit up by the moon, or some unmelted snow, or some white houses? He even thought something moved on that white spot. "I expect it's snow... that spot... a spot—une tache," he thought. "There now... it's not a tache... Natasha... sister, black eyes... Na... tasha... (Won't she be surprised when I tell her how I've seen the Emperor?) Natasha... take my sabretache..."—"Keep to the right, your honor, there are bushes here," came the voice of an hussar, past whom Rostov was riding in the act of falling asleep. Rostov lifted his head that had sunk almost to his horse's mane and pulled up beside the hussar. He was succumbing to irresistible, youthful, childish drowsiness. "But what was I thinking? I mustn't forget. How shall I speak to the Emperor? No, that's not it—that's tomorrow. Oh yes! Natasha... sabretache... saber them... Whom? The hussars... Ah, the hussars with mustaches. Along the Tverskaya Street rode the hussar with mustaches... I thought about him too, just opposite Guryev's house... Old Guryev.... Oh, but Denisov's a fine fellow. But that's all nonsense. The chief thing is that the Emperor is here. How he looked at me and wished to say something, but dared not.... No, it was I who dared not. But that's nonsense, the chief thing is not to forget the important thing I was thinking of. Yes, Na-tasha, sabretache, oh, yes, yes! That's right!" And his head once more sank to his horse's neck. All at once it seemed to him that he was being fired at. "What? What? What?... Cut them down! What?..." said Rostov, waking up. At the moment he opened his eyes he heard in front of him, where the enemy was, the long-drawn shouts of thousands of voices. His horse and the horse of the hussar near him pricked their ears at these shouts. Over there, where the shouting came from, a fire flared up and went out again, then another, and all along the French line on the hill fires flared up and the shouting grew louder and louder. Rostov could hear the sound of French words but could not distinguish them. The din of many voices was too great; all he could hear was: "ahahah!" and "rrrr!"
"What's that? What do you make of it?" said Rostov to the hussar beside him. "That must be the enemy's camp!"
The hussar did not reply.
"Why, don't you hear it?" Rostov asked again, after waiting for a reply.
"Who can tell, your honor?" replied the hussar reluctantly.
"From the direction, it must be the enemy," repeated Rostov.
"It may be he or it may be nothing," muttered the hussar. "It's dark... Steady!" he cried to his fidgeting horse.
Rostov's horse was also getting restive: it pawed the frozen ground, pricking its ears at the noise and looking at the lights. The shouting grew still louder and merged into a general roar that only an army of several thousand men could produce. The lights spread farther and farther, probably along the line of the French camp. Rostov no longer wanted to sleep. The gay triumphant shouting of the enemy army had a stimulating effect on him. "Vive l'Empereur! L'Empereur!" he now heard distinctly.
"They can't be far off, probably just beyond the stream," he said to the hussar beside him.
The hussar only sighed without replying and coughed angrily. The sound of horse's hoofs approaching at a trot along the line of hussars was heard, and out of the foggy darkness the figure of a sergeant of hussars suddenly appeared, looming huge as an elephant.
"Your honor, the generals!" said the sergeant, riding up to Rostov.
Rostov, still looking round toward the fires and the shouts, rode with the sergeant to meet some mounted men who were riding along the line. One was on a white horse. Prince Bagration and Prince Dolgorukov with their adjutants had come to witness the curious phenomenon of the lights and shouts in the enemy's camp. Rostov rode up to Bagration, reported to him, and then joined the adjutants listening to what the generals were saying.
"Believe me," said Prince Dolgorukov, addressing Bagration, "it is nothing but a trick! He has retreated and ordered the rearguard to kindle fires and make a noise to deceive us."
"Hardly," said Bagration. "I saw them this evening on that knoll; if they had retreated they would have withdrawn from that too.... Officer!" said Bagration to Rostov, "are the enemy's skirmishers still there?"
"They were there this evening, but now I don't know, your excellency. Shall I go with some of my hussars to see?" replied Rostov.
Bagration stopped and, before replying, tried to see Rostov's face in the mist.
"Well, go and see," he said, after a pause.
Rostov spurred his horse, called to Sergeant Fedchenko and two other hussars, told them to follow him, and trotted downhill in the direction from which the shouting came. He felt both frightened and pleased to be riding alone with three hussars into that mysterious and dangerous misty distance where no one had been before him. Bagration called to him from the hill not to go beyond the stream, but Rostov pretended not to hear him and did not stop but rode on and on, continually mistaking bushes for trees and gullies for men and continually discovering his mistakes. Having descended the hill at a trot, he no longer saw either our own or the enemy's fires, but heard the shouting of the French more loudly and distinctly. In the valley he saw before him something like a river, but when he reached it he found it was a road. Having come out onto the road he reined in his horse, hesitating whether to ride along it or cross it and ride over the black field up the hillside. To keep to the road which gleamed white in the mist would have been safer because it would be easier to see people coming along it. "Follow me!" said he, crossed the road, and began riding up the hill at a gallop toward the point where the French pickets had been standing that evening.
"Your honor, there he is!" cried one of the hussars behind him. And before Rostov had time to make out what the black thing was that had suddenly appeared in the fog, there was a flash, followed by a report, and a bullet whizzing high up in the mist with a plaintive sound passed out of hearing. Another musket missed fire but flashed in the pan. Rostov turned his horse and galloped back. Four more reports followed at intervals, and the bullets passed somewhere in the fog singing in different tones. Rostov reined in his horse, whose spirits had risen, like his own, at the firing, and went back at a footpace. "Well, some more! Some more!" a merry voice was saying in his soul. But no more shots came.
Only when approaching Bagration did Rostov let his horse gallop again, and with his hand at the salute rode up to the general.
Dolgorukov was still insisting that the French had retreated and had only lit fires to deceive us.
"What does that prove?" he was saying as Rostov rode up. "They might retreat and leave the pickets."
"It's plain that they have not all gone yet, Prince," said Bagration. "Wait till tomorrow morning, we'll find out everything tomorrow."
"The picket is still on the hill, your excellency, just where it was in the evening," reported Rostov, stooping forward with his hand at the salute and unable to repress the smile of delight induced by his ride and especially by the sound of the bullets.
"Very good, very good," said Bagration. "Thank you, officer."
"Your excellency," said Rostov, "may I ask a favor?"
"What is it?"
"Tomorrow our squadron is to be in reserve. May I ask to be attached to the first squadron?"
"What's your name?"
"Oh, very well, you may stay in attendance on me."
"Count Ilya Rostov's son?" asked Dolgorukov.
But Rostov did not reply.
"Then I may reckon on it, your excellency?"
"I will give the order."
"Tomorrow very likely I may be sent with some message to the Emperor," thought Rostov.
The fires and shouting in the enemy's army were occasioned by the fact that while Napoleon's proclamation was being read to the troops the Emperor himself rode round his bivouacs. The soldiers, on seeing him, lit wisps of straw and ran after him, shouting, "Vive l'Empereur!" Napoleon's proclamation was as follows:
Soldiers! The Russian army is advancing against you to avenge the Austrian army of Ulm. They are the same battalions you broke at Hollabrunn and have pursued ever since to this place. The position we occupy is a strong one, and while they are marching to go round me on the right they will expose a flank to me. Soldiers! I will myself direct your battalions. I will keep out of fire if you with your habitual valor carry disorder and confusion into the enemy's ranks, but should victory be in doubt, even for a moment, you will see your Emperor exposing himself to the first blows of the enemy, for there must be no doubt of victory, especially on this day when what is at stake is the honor of the French infantry, so necessary to the honor of our nation.
Do not break your ranks on the plea of removing the wounded! Let every man be fully imbued with the thought that we must defeat these hirelings of England, inspired by such hatred of our nation! This victory will conclude our campaign and we can return to winter quarters, where fresh French troops who are being raised in France will join us, and the peace I shall conclude will be worthy of my people, of you, and of myself.
At five in the morning it was still quite dark. The troops of the center, the reserves, and Bagration's right flank had not yet moved, but on the left flank the columns of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, which were to be the first to descend the heights to attack the French right flank and drive it into the Bohemian mountains according to plan, were already up and astir. The smoke of the campfires, into which they were throwing everything superfluous, made the eyes smart. It was cold and dark. The officers were hurriedly drinking tea and breakfasting, the soldiers, munching biscuit and beating a tattoo with their feet to warm themselves, gathering round the fires throwing into the flames the remains of sheds, chairs, tables, wheels, tubs, and everything that they did not want or could not carry away with them. Austrian column guides were moving in and out among the Russian troops and served as heralds of the advance. As soon as an Austrian officer showed himself near a commanding officer's quarters, the regiment began to move: the soldiers ran from the fires, thrust their pipes into their boots, their bags into the carts, got their muskets ready, and formed rank. The officers buttoned up their coats, buckled on their swords and pouches, and moved along the ranks shouting. The train drivers and orderlies harnessed and packed the wagons and tied on the loads. The adjutants and battalion and regimental commanders mounted, crossed themselves, gave final instructions, orders, and commissions to the baggage men who remained behind, and the monotonous tramp of thousands of feet resounded. The column moved forward without knowing where and unable, from the masses around them, the smoke and the increasing fog, to see either the place they were leaving or that to which they were going.
A soldier on the march is hemmed in and borne along by his regiment as much as a sailor is by his ship. However far he has walked, whatever strange, unknown, and dangerous places he reaches, just as a sailor is always surrounded by the same decks, masts, and rigging of his ship, so the soldier always has around him the same comrades, the same ranks, the same sergeant major Ivan Mitrich, the same company dog Jack, and the same commanders. The sailor rarely cares to know the latitude in which his ship is sailing, but on the day of battle—heaven knows how and whence—a stern note of which all are conscious sounds in the moral atmosphere of an army, announcing the approach of something decisive and solemn, and awakening in the men an unusual curiosity. On the day of battle the soldiers excitedly try to get beyond the interests of their regiment, they listen intently, look about, and eagerly ask concerning what is going on around them.
The fog had grown so dense that though it was growing light they could not see ten paces ahead. Bushes looked like gigantic trees and level ground like cliffs and slopes. Anywhere, on any side, one might encounter an enemy invisible ten paces off. But the columns advanced for a long time, always in the same fog, descending and ascending hills, avoiding gardens and enclosures, going over new and unknown ground, and nowhere encountering the enemy. On the contrary, the soldiers became aware that in front, behind, and on all sides, other Russian columns were moving in the same direction. Every soldier felt glad to know that to the unknown place where he was going, many more of our men were going too.
"There now, the Kurskies have also gone past," was being said in the ranks.
"It's wonderful what a lot of our troops have gathered, lads! Last night I looked at the campfires and there was no end of them. A regular Moscow!"
Though none of the column commanders rode up to the ranks or talked to the men (the commanders, as we saw at the council of war, were out of humor and dissatisfied with the affair, and so did not exert themselves to cheer the men but merely carried out the orders), yet the troops marched gaily, as they always do when going into action, especially to an attack. But when they had marched for about an hour in the dense fog, the greater part of the men had to halt and an unpleasant consciousness of some dislocation and blunder spread through the ranks. How such a consciousness is communicated is very difficult to define, but it certainly is communicated very surely, and flows rapidly, imperceptibly, and irrepressibly, as water does in a creek. Had the Russian army been alone without any allies, it might perhaps have been a long time before this consciousness of mismanagement became a general conviction, but as it was, the disorder was readily and naturally attributed to the stupid Germans, and everyone was convinced that a dangerous muddle had been occasioned by the sausage eaters.
"Why have we stopped? Is the way blocked? Or have we already come up against the French?"
"No, one can't hear them. They'd be firing if we had."
"They were in a hurry enough to start us, and now here we stand in the middle of a field without rhyme or reason. It's all those damned Germans' muddling! What stupid devils!"
"Yes, I'd send them on in front, but no fear, they're crowding up behind. And now here we stand hungry."
"I say, shall we soon be clear? They say the cavalry are blocking the way," said an officer.
"Ah, those damned Germans! They don't know their own country!" said another.
"What division are you?" shouted an adjutant, riding up.
"Then why are you here? You should have gone on long ago, now you won't get there till evening."
"What stupid orders! They don't themselves know what they are doing!" said the officer and rode off.
Then a general rode past shouting something angrily, not in Russian.
"Tafa-lafa! But what he's jabbering no one can make out," said a soldier, mimicking the general who had ridden away. "I'd shoot them, the scoundrels!"
"We were ordered to be at the place before nine, but we haven't got halfway. Fine orders!" was being repeated on different sides.
And the feeling of energy with which the troops had started began to turn into vexation and anger at the stupid arrangements and at the Germans.
The cause of the confusion was that while the Austrian cavalry was moving toward our left flank, the higher command found that our center was too far separated from our right flank and the cavalry were all ordered to turn back to the right. Several thousand cavalry crossed in front of the infantry, who had to wait.
At the front an altercation occurred between an Austrian guide and a Russian general. The general shouted a demand that the cavalry should be halted, the Austrian argued that not he, but the higher command, was to blame. The troops meanwhile stood growing listless and dispirited. After an hour's delay they at last moved on, descending the hill. The fog that was dispersing on the hill lay still more densely below, where they were descending. In front in the fog a shot was heard and then another, at first irregularly at varying intervals—trata... tat—and then more and more regularly and rapidly, and the action at the Goldbach Stream began.
Not expecting to come on the enemy down by the stream, and having stumbled on him in the fog, hearing no encouraging word from their commanders, and with a consciousness of being too late spreading through the ranks, and above all being unable to see anything in front or around them in the thick fog, the Russians exchanged shots with the enemy lazily and advanced and again halted, receiving no timely orders from the officers or adjutants who wandered about in the fog in those unknown surroundings unable to find their own regiments. In this way the action began for the first, second, and third columns, which had gone down into the valley. The fourth column, with which Kutuzov was, stood on the Pratzen Heights.
Below, where the fight was beginning, there was still thick fog; on the higher ground it was clearing, but nothing could be seen of what was going on in front. Whether all the enemy forces were, as we supposed, six miles away, or whether they were near by in that sea of mist, no one knew till after eight o'clock.
It was nine o'clock in the morning. The fog lay unbroken like a sea down below, but higher up at the village of Schlappanitz where Napoleon stood with his marshals around him, it was quite light. Above him was a clear blue sky, and the sun's vast orb quivered like a huge hollow, crimson float on the surface of that milky sea of mist. The whole French army, and even Napoleon himself with his staff, were not on the far side of the streams and hollows of Sokolnitz and Schlappanitz beyond which we intended to take up our position and begin the action, but were on this side, so close to our own forces that Napoleon with the naked eye could distinguish a mounted man from one on foot. Napoleon, in the blue cloak which he had worn on his Italian campaign, sat on his small gray Arab horse a little in front of his marshals. He gazed silently at the hills which seemed to rise out of the sea of mist and on which the Russian troops were moving in the distance, and he listened to the sounds of firing in the valley. Not a single muscle of his face—which in those days was still thin—moved. His gleaming eyes were fixed intently on one spot. His predictions were being justified. Part of the Russian force had already descended into the valley toward the ponds and lakes and part were leaving these Pratzen Heights which he intended to attack and regarded as the key to the position. He saw over the mist that in a hollow between two hills near the village of Pratzen, the Russian columns, their bayonets glittering, were moving continuously in one direction toward the valley and disappearing one after another into the mist. From information he had received the evening before, from the sound of wheels and footsteps heard by the outposts during the night, by the disorderly movement of the Russian columns, and from all indications, he saw clearly that the allies believed him to be far away in front of them, and that the columns moving near Pratzen constituted the center of the Russian army, and that that center was already sufficiently weakened to be successfully attacked. But still he did not begin the engagement.
Today was a great day for him—the anniversary of his coronation. Before dawn he had slept for a few hours, and refreshed, vigorous, and in good spirits, he mounted his horse and rode out into the field in that happy mood in which everything seems possible and everything succeeds. He sat motionless, looking at the heights visible above the mist, and his cold face wore that special look of confident, self-complacent happiness that one sees on the face of a boy happily in love. The marshals stood behind him not venturing to distract his attention. He looked now at the Pratzen Heights, now at the sun floating up out of the mist.
When the sun had entirely emerged from the fog, and fields and mist were aglow with dazzling light—as if he had only awaited this to begin the action—he drew the glove from his shapely white hand, made a sign with it to the marshals, and ordered the action to begin. The marshals, accompanied by adjutants, galloped off in different directions, and a few minutes later the chief forces of the French army moved rapidly toward those Pratzen Heights which were being more and more denuded by Russian troops moving down the valley to their left.
At eight o'clock Kutuzov rode to Pratzen at the head of the fourth column, Miloradovich's, the one that was to take the place of Przebyszewski's and Langeron's columns which had already gone down into the valley. He greeted the men of the foremost regiment and gave them the order to march, thereby indicating that he intended to lead that column himself. When he had reached the village of Pratzen he halted. Prince Andrew was behind, among the immense number forming the commander in chief's suite. He was in a state of suppressed excitement and irritation, though controlledly calm as a man is at the approach of a long-awaited moment. He was firmly convinced that this was the day of his Toulon, or his bridge of Arcola. How it would come about he did not know, but he felt sure it would do so. The locality and the position of our troops were known to him as far as they could be known to anyone in our army. His own strategic plan, which obviously could not now be carried out, was forgotten. Now, entering into Weyrother's plan, Prince Andrew considered possible contingencies and formed new projects such as might call for his rapidity of perception and decision.
To the left down below in the mist, the musketry fire of unseen forces could be heard. It was there Prince Andrew thought the fight would concentrate. "There we shall encounter difficulties, and there," thought he, "I shall be sent with a brigade or division, and there, standard in hand, I shall go forward and break whatever is in front of me."
He could not look calmly at the standards of the passing battalions. Seeing them he kept thinking, "That may be the very standard with which I shall lead the army."
In the morning all that was left of the night mist on the heights was a hoar frost now turning to dew, but in the valleys it still lay like a milk-white sea. Nothing was visible in the valley to the left into which our troops had descended and from whence came the sounds of firing. Above the heights was the dark clear sky, and to the right the vast orb of the sun. In front, far off on the farther shore of that sea of mist, some wooded hills were discernible, and it was there the enemy probably was, for something could be descried. On the right the Guards were entering the misty region with a sound of hoofs and wheels and now and then a gleam of bayonets; to the left beyond the village similar masses of cavalry came up and disappeared in the sea of mist. In front and behind moved infantry. The commander in chief was standing at the end of the village letting the troops pass by him. That morning Kutuzov seemed worn and irritable. The infantry passing before him came to a halt without any command being given, apparently obstructed by something in front.
"Do order them to form into battalion columns and go round the village!" he said angrily to a general who had ridden up. "Don't you understand, your excellency, my dear sir, that you must not defile through narrow village streets when we are marching against the enemy?"
"I intended to re-form them beyond the village, your excellency," answered the general.
Kutuzov laughed bitterly.
"You'll make a fine thing of it, deploying in sight of the enemy! Very fine!"
"The enemy is still far away, your excellency. According to the dispositions..."
"The dispositions!" exclaimed Kutuzov bitterly. "Who told you that?... Kindly do as you are ordered."
"My dear fellow," Nesvitski whispered to Prince Andrew, "the old man is as surly as a dog."
An Austrian officer in a white uniform with green plumes in his hat galloped up to Kutuzov and asked in the Emperor's name had the fourth column advanced into action.
Kutuzov turned round without answering and his eye happened to fall upon Prince Andrew, who was beside him. Seeing him, Kutuzov's malevolent and caustic expression softened, as if admitting that what was being done was not his adjutant's fault, and still not answering the Austrian adjutant, he addressed Bolkonski.
"Go, my dear fellow, and see whether the third division has passed the village. Tell it to stop and await my orders."
Hardly had Prince Andrew started than he stopped him.
"And ask whether sharpshooters have been posted," he added. "What are they doing? What are they doing?" he murmured to himself, still not replying to the Austrian.
Prince Andrew galloped off to execute the order.
Overtaking the battalions that continued to advance, he stopped the third division and convinced himself that there really were no sharpshooters in front of our columns. The colonel at the head of the regiment was much surprised at the commander in chief's order to throw out skirmishers. He had felt perfectly sure that there were other troops in front of him and that the enemy must be at least six miles away. There was really nothing to be seen in front except a barren descent hidden by dense mist. Having given orders in the commander in chief's name to rectify this omission, Prince Andrew galloped back. Kutuzov still in the same place, his stout body resting heavily in the saddle with the lassitude of age, sat yawning wearily with closed eyes. The troops were no longer moving, but stood with the butts of their muskets on the ground.
"All right, all right!" he said to Prince Andrew, and turned to a general who, watch in hand, was saying it was time they started as all the left-flank columns had already descended.
"Plenty of time, your excellency," muttered Kutuzov in the midst of a yawn. "Plenty of time," he repeated.
Just then at a distance behind Kutuzov was heard the sound of regiments saluting, and this sound rapidly came nearer along the whole extended line of the advancing Russian columns. Evidently the person they were greeting was riding quickly. When the soldiers of the regiment in front of which Kutuzov was standing began to shout, he rode a little to one side and looked round with a frown. Along the road from Pratzen galloped what looked like a squadron of horsemen in various uniforms. Two of them rode side by side in front, at full gallop. One in a black uniform with white plumes in his hat rode a bobtailed chestnut horse, the other who was in a white uniform rode a black one. These were the two Emperors followed by their suites. Kutuzov, affecting the manners of an old soldier at the front, gave the command "Attention!" and rode up to the Emperors with a salute. His whole appearance and manner were suddenly transformed. He put on the air of a subordinate who obeys without reasoning. With an affectation of respect which evidently struck Alexander unpleasantly, he rode up and saluted.
This unpleasant impression merely flitted over the young and happy face of the Emperor like a cloud of haze across a clear sky and vanished. After his illness he looked rather thinner that day than on the field of Olmutz where Bolkonski had seen him for the first time abroad, but there was still the same bewitching combination of majesty and mildness in his fine gray eyes, and on his delicate lips the same capacity for varying expression and the same prevalent appearance of goodhearted innocent youth.
At the Olmutz review he had seemed more majestic; here he seemed brighter and more energetic. He was slightly flushed after galloping two miles, and reining in his horse he sighed restfully and looked round at the faces of his suite, young and animated as his own. Czartoryski, Novosiltsev, Prince Volkonsky, Strogonov, and the others, all richly dressed gay young men on splendid, well-groomed, fresh, only slightly heated horses, exchanging remarks and smiling, had stopped behind the Emperor. The Emperor Francis, a rosy, long faced young man, sat very erect on his handsome black horse, looking about him in a leisurely and preoccupied manner. He beckoned to one of his white adjutants and asked some question—"Most likely he is asking at what o'clock they started," thought Prince Andrew, watching his old acquaintance with a smile he could not repress as he recalled his reception at Brunn. In the Emperors' suite were the picked young orderly officers of the Guard and line regiments, Russian and Austrian. Among them were grooms leading the Tsar's beautiful relay horses covered with embroidered cloths.
As when a window is opened a whiff of fresh air from the fields enters a stuffy room, so a whiff of youthfulness, energy, and confidence of success reached Kutuzov's cheerless staff with the galloping advent of all these brilliant young men.
"Why aren't you beginning, Michael Ilarionovich?" said the Emperor Alexander hurriedly to Kutuzov, glancing courteously at the same time at the Emperor Francis.
"I am waiting, Your Majesty," answered Kutuzov, bending forward respectfully.
The Emperor, frowning slightly, bent his ear forward as if he had not quite heard.
"Waiting, Your Majesty," repeated Kutuzov. (Prince Andrew noted that Kutuzov's upper lip twitched unnaturally as he said the word "waiting.") "Not all the columns have formed up yet, Your Majesty."
The Tsar heard but obviously did not like the reply; he shrugged his rather round shoulders and glanced at Novosiltsev who was near him, as if complaining of Kutuzov.
"You know, Michael Ilarionovich, we are not on the Empress' Field where a parade does not begin till all the troops are assembled," said the Tsar with another glance at the Emperor Francis, as if inviting him if not to join in at least to listen to what he was saying. But the Emperor Francis continued to look about him and did not listen.
"That is just why I do not begin, sire," said Kutuzov in a resounding voice, apparently to preclude the possibility of not being heard, and again something in his face twitched—"That is just why I do not begin, sire, because we are not on parade and not on the Empress' Field," said clearly and distinctly.
In the Emperor's suite all exchanged rapid looks that expressed dissatisfaction and reproach. "Old though he may be, he should not, he certainly should not, speak like that," their glances seemed to say.
The Tsar looked intently and observantly into Kutuzov's eye waiting to hear whether he would say anything more. But Kutuzov, with respectfully bowed head, seemed also to be waiting. The silence lasted for about a minute.
"However, if you command it, Your Majesty," said Kutuzov, lifting his head and again assuming his former tone of a dull, unreasoning, but submissive general.
He touched his horse and having called Miloradovich, the commander of the column, gave him the order to advance.
The troops again began to move, and two battalions of the Novgorod and one of the Apsheron regiment went forward past the Emperor.
As this Apsheron battalion marched by, the red-faced Miloradovich, without his greatcoat, with his Orders on his breast and an enormous tuft of plumes in his cocked hat worn on one side with its corners front and back, galloped strenuously forward, and with a dashing salute reined in his horse before the Emperor.
"God be with you, general!" said the Emperor.
"Ma foi, sire, nous ferons ce qui sera dans notre possibilite, sire," * he answered gaily, raising nevertheless ironic smiles among the gentlemen of the Tsar's suite by his poor French.
* "Indeed, Sire, we shall do everything it is possible to do, Sire."
Miloradovich wheeled his horse sharply and stationed himself a little behind the Emperor. The Apsheron men, excited by the Tsar's presence, passed in step before the Emperors and their suites at a bold, brisk pace.
"Lads!" shouted Miloradovich in a loud, self-confident, and cheery voice, obviously so elated by the sound of firing, by the prospect of battle, and by the sight of the gallant Apsherons, his comrades in Suvorov's time, now passing so gallantly before the Emperors, that he forgot the sovereigns' presence. "Lads, it's not the first village you've had to take," cried he.
"Glad to do our best!" shouted the soldiers.
The Emperor's horse started at the sudden cry. This horse that had carried the sovereign at reviews in Russia bore him also here on the field of Austerlitz, enduring the heedless blows of his left foot and pricking its ears at the sound of shots just as it had done on the Empress' Field, not understanding the significance of the firing, nor of the nearness of the Emperor Francis' black cob, nor of all that was being said, thought, and felt that day by its rider.
The Emperor turned with a smile to one of his followers and made a remark to him, pointing to the gallant Apsherons.
Kutuzov accompanied by his adjutants rode at a walking pace behind the carabineers.
When he had gone less than half a mile in the rear of the column he stopped at a solitary, deserted house that had probably once been an inn, where two roads parted. Both of them led downhill and troops were marching along both.
The fog had begun to clear and enemy troops were already dimly visible about a mile and a half off on the opposite heights. Down below, on the left, the firing became more distinct. Kutuzov had stopped and was speaking to an Austrian general. Prince Andrew, who was a little behind looking at them, turned to an adjutant to ask him for a field glass.
"Look, look!" said this adjutant, looking not at the troops in the distance, but down the hill before him. "It's the French!"
The two generals and the adjutant took hold of the field glass, trying to snatch it from one another. The expression on all their faces suddenly changed to one of horror. The French were supposed to be a mile and a half away, but had suddenly and unexpectedly appeared just in front of us.
"It's the enemy?... No!... Yes, see it is!... for certain.... But how is that?" said different voices.
With the naked eye Prince Andrew saw below them to the right, not more than five hundred paces from where Kutuzov was standing, a dense French column coming up to meet the Apsherons.
"Here it is! The decisive moment has arrived. My turn has come," thought Prince Andrew, and striking his horse he rode up to Kutuzov.
"The Apsherons must be stopped, your excellency," cried he. But at that very instant a cloud of smoke spread all round, firing was heard quite close at hand, and a voice of naive terror barely two steps from Prince Andrew shouted, "Brothers! All's lost!" And at this as if at a command, everyone began to run.
Confused and ever-increasing crowds were running back to where five minutes before the troops had passed the Emperors. Not only would it have been difficult to stop that crowd, it was even impossible not to be carried back with it oneself. Bolkonski only tried not to lose touch with it, and looked around bewildered and unable to grasp what was happening in front of him. Nesvitski with an angry face, red and unlike himself, was shouting to Kutuzov that if he did not ride away at once he would certainly be taken prisoner. Kutuzov remained in the same place and without answering drew out a handkerchief. Blood was flowing from his cheek. Prince Andrew forced his way to him.
"You are wounded?" he asked, hardly able to master the trembling of his lower jaw.
"The wound is not here, it is there!" said Kutuzov, pressing the handkerchief to his wounded cheek and pointing to the fleeing soldiers. "Stop them!" he shouted, and at the same moment, probably realizing that it was impossible to stop them, spurred his horse and rode to the right.
A fresh wave of the flying mob caught him and bore him back with it.
The troops were running in such a dense mass that once surrounded by them it was difficult to get out again. One was shouting, "Get on! Why are you hindering us?" Another in the same place turned round and fired in the air; a third was striking the horse Kutuzov himself rode. Having by a great effort got away to the left from that flood of men, Kutuzov, with his suite diminished by more than half, rode toward a sound of artillery fire near by. Having forced his way out of the crowd of fugitives, Prince Andrew, trying to keep near Kutuzov, saw on the slope of the hill amid the smoke a Russian battery that was still firing and Frenchmen running toward it. Higher up stood some Russian infantry, neither moving forward to protect the battery nor backward with the fleeing crowd. A mounted general separated himself from the infantry and approached Kutuzov. Of Kutuzov's suite only four remained. They were all pale and exchanged looks in silence.
"Stop those wretches!" gasped Kutuzov to the regimental commander, pointing to the flying soldiers; but at that instant, as if to punish him for those words, bullets flew hissing across the regiment and across Kutuzov's suite like a flock of little birds.
The French had attacked the battery and, seeing Kutuzov, were firing at him. After this volley the regimental commander clutched at his leg; several soldiers fell, and a second lieutenant who was holding the flag let it fall from his hands. It swayed and fell, but caught on the muskets of the nearest soldiers. The soldiers started firing without orders.
"Oh! Oh! Oh!" groaned Kutuzov despairingly and looked around.... "Bolkonski!" he whispered, his voice trembling from a consciousness of the feebleness of age, "Bolkonski!" he whispered, pointing to the disordered battalion and at the enemy, "what's that?"
But before he had finished speaking, Prince Andrew, feeling tears of shame and anger choking him, had already leapt from his horse and run to the standard.
"Forward, lads!" he shouted in a voice piercing as a child's.
"Here it is!" thought he, seizing the staff of the standard and hearing with pleasure the whistle of bullets evidently aimed at him. Several soldiers fell.
"Hurrah!" shouted Prince Andrew, and, scarcely able to hold up the heavy standard, he ran forward with full confidence that the whole battalion would follow him.
And really he only ran a few steps alone. One soldier moved and then another and soon the whole battalion ran forward shouting "Hurrah!" and overtook him. A sergeant of the battalion ran up and took the flag that was swaying from its weight in Prince Andrew's hands, but he was immediately killed. Prince Andrew again seized the standard and, dragging it by the staff, ran on with the battalion. In front he saw our artillerymen, some of whom were fighting, while others, having abandoned their guns, were running toward him. He also saw French infantry soldiers who were seizing the artillery horses and turning the guns round. Prince Andrew and the battalion were already within twenty paces of the cannon. He heard the whistle of bullets above him unceasingly and to right and left of him soldiers continually groaned and dropped. But he did not look at them: he looked only at what was going on in front of him—at the battery. He now saw clearly the figure of a red-haired gunner with his shako knocked awry, pulling one end of a mop while a French soldier tugged at the other. He could distinctly see the distraught yet angry expression on the faces of these two men, who evidently did not realize what they were doing.
"What are they about?" thought Prince Andrew as he gazed at them. "Why doesn't the red-haired gunner run away as he is unarmed? Why doesn't the Frenchman stab him? He will not get away before the Frenchman remembers his bayonet and stabs him...."
And really another French soldier, trailing his musket, ran up to the struggling men, and the fate of the red-haired gunner, who had triumphantly secured the mop and still did not realize what awaited him, was about to be decided. But Prince Andrew did not see how it ended. It seemed to him as though one of the soldiers near him hit him on the head with the full swing of a bludgeon. It hurt a little, but the worst of it was that the pain distracted him and prevented his seeing what he had been looking at.
"What's this? Am I falling? My legs are giving way," thought he, and fell on his back. He opened his eyes, hoping to see how the struggle of the Frenchmen with the gunners ended, whether the red-haired gunner had been killed or not and whether the cannon had been captured or saved. But he saw nothing. Above him there was now nothing but the sky—the lofty sky, not clear yet still immeasurably lofty, with gray clouds gliding slowly across it. "How quiet, peaceful, and solemn; not at all as I ran," thought Prince Andrew—"not as we ran, shouting and fighting, not at all as the gunner and the Frenchman with frightened and angry faces struggled for the mop: how differently do those clouds glide across that lofty infinite sky! How was it I did not see that lofty sky before? And how happy I am to have found it at last! Yes! All is vanity, all falsehood, except that infinite sky. There is nothing, nothing, but that. But even it does not exist, there is nothing but quiet and peace. Thank God!..."
On our right flank commanded by Bagration, at nine o'clock the battle had not yet begun. Not wishing to agree to Dolgorukov's demand to commence the action, and wishing to avert responsibility from himself, Prince Bagration proposed to Dolgorukov to send to inquire of the commander in chief. Bagration knew that as the distance between the two flanks was more than six miles, even if the messenger were not killed (which he very likely would be), and found the commander in chief (which would be very difficult), he would not be able to get back before evening.
Bagration cast his large, expressionless, sleepy eyes round his suite, and the boyish face Rostov, breathless with excitement and hope, was the first to catch his eye. He sent him.
"And if I should meet His Majesty before I meet the commander in chief, your excellency?" said Rostov, with his hand to his cap.
"You can give the message to His Majesty," said Dolgorukov, hurriedly interrupting Bagration.
On being relieved from picket duty Rostov had managed to get a few hours' sleep before morning and felt cheerful, bold, and resolute, with elasticity of movement, faith in his good fortune, and generally in that state of mind which makes everything seem possible, pleasant, and easy.
All his wishes were being fulfilled that morning: there was to be a general engagement in which he was taking part, more than that, he was orderly to the bravest general, and still more, he was going with a message to Kutuzov, perhaps even to the sovereign himself. The morning was bright, he had a good horse under him, and his heart was full of joy and happiness. On receiving the order he gave his horse the rein and galloped along the line. At first he rode along the line of Bagration's troops, which had not yet advanced into action but were standing motionless; then he came to the region occupied by Uvarov's cavalry and here he noticed a stir and signs of preparation for battle; having passed Uvarov's cavalry he clearly heard the sound of cannon and musketry ahead of him. The firing grew louder and louder.
In the fresh morning air were now heard, not two or three musket shots at irregular intervals as before, followed by one or two cannon shots, but a roll of volleys of musketry from the slopes of the hill before Pratzen, interrupted by such frequent reports of cannon that sometimes several of them were not separated from one another but merged into a general roar.
He could see puffs of musketry smoke that seemed to chase one another down the hillsides, and clouds of cannon smoke rolling, spreading, and mingling with one another. He could also, by the gleam of bayonets visible through the smoke, make out moving masses of infantry and narrow lines of artillery with green caissons.
Rostov stopped his horse for a moment on a hillock to see what was going on, but strain his attention as he would he could not understand or make out anything of what was happening: there in the smoke men of some sort were moving about, in front and behind moved lines of troops; but why, whither, and who they were, it was impossible to make out. These sights and sounds had no depressing or intimidating effect on him; on the contrary, they stimulated his energy and determination.
"Go on! Go on! Give it them!" he mentally exclaimed at these sounds, and again proceeded to gallop along the line, penetrating farther and farther into the region where the army was already in action.
"How it will be there I don't know, but all will be well!" thought Rostov.
After passing some Austrian troops he noticed that the next part of the line (the Guards) was already in action.
"So much the better! I shall see it close," he thought.
He was riding almost along the front line. A handful of men came galloping toward him. They were our Uhlans who with disordered ranks were returning from the attack. Rostov got out of their way, involuntarily noticed that one of them was bleeding, and galloped on.
"That is no business of mine," he thought. He had not ridden many hundred yards after that before he saw to his left, across the whole width of the field, an enormous mass of cavalry in brilliant white uniforms, mounted on black horses, trotting straight toward him and across his path. Rostov put his horse to full gallop to get out of the way of these men, and he would have got clear had they continued at the same speed, but they kept increasing their pace, so that some of the horses were already galloping. Rostov heard the thud of their hoofs and the jingle of their weapons and saw their horses, their figures, and even their faces, more and more distinctly. They were our Horse Guards, advancing to attack the French cavalry that was coming to meet them.
The Horse Guards were galloping, but still holding in their horses. Rostov could already see their faces and heard the command: "Charge!" shouted by an officer who was urging his thoroughbred to full speed. Rostov, fearing to be crushed or swept into the attack on the French, galloped along the front as hard as his horse could go, but still was not in time to avoid them.
The last of the Horse Guards, a huge pockmarked fellow, frowned angrily on seeing Rostov before him, with whom he would inevitably collide. This Guardsman would certainly have bowled Rostov and his Bedouin over (Rostov felt himself quite tiny and weak compared to these gigantic men and horses) had it not occurred to Rostov to flourish his whip before the eyes of the Guardsman's horse. The heavy black horse, sixteen hands high, shied, throwing back its ears; but the pockmarked Guardsman drove his huge spurs in violently, and the horse, flourishing its tail and extending its neck, galloped on yet faster. Hardly had the Horse Guards passed Rostov before he heard them shout, "Hurrah!" and looking back saw that their foremost ranks were mixed up with some foreign cavalry with red epaulets, probably French. He could see nothing more, for immediately afterwards cannon began firing from somewhere and smoke enveloped everything.
At that moment, as the Horse Guards, having passed him, disappeared in the smoke, Rostov hesitated whether to gallop after them or to go where he was sent. This was the brilliant charge of the Horse Guards that amazed the French themselves. Rostov was horrified to hear later that of all that mass of huge and handsome men, of all those brilliant, rich youths, officers and cadets, who had galloped past him on their thousand-ruble horses, only eighteen were left after the charge.
"Why should I envy them? My chance is not lost, and maybe I shall see the Emperor immediately!" thought Rostov and galloped on.
When he came level with the Foot Guards he noticed that about them and around them cannon balls were flying, of which he was aware not so much because he heard their sound as because he saw uneasiness on the soldiers' faces and unnatural warlike solemnity on those of the officers.
Passing behind one of the lines of a regiment of Foot Guards he heard a voice calling him by name.
"What?" he answered, not recognizing Boris.
"I say, we've been in the front line! Our regiment attacked!" said Boris with the happy smile seen on the faces of young men who have been under fire for the first time.
"Have you?" he said. "Well, how did it go?"
"We drove them back!" said Boris with animation, growing talkative. "Can you imagine it?" and he began describing how the Guards, having taken up their position and seeing troops before them, thought they were Austrians, and all at once discovered from the cannon balls discharged by those troops that they were themselves in the front line and had unexpectedly to go into action. Rostov without hearing Boris to the end spurred his horse.
"Where are you off to?" asked Boris.
"With a message to His Majesty."
"There he is!" said Boris, thinking Rostov had said "His Highness," and pointing to the Grand Duke who with his high shoulders and frowning brows stood a hundred paces away from them in his helmet and Horse Guards' jacket, shouting something to a pale, white uniformed Austrian officer.
"But that's the Grand Duke, and I want the commander in chief or the Emperor," said Rostov, and was about to spur his horse.
"Count! Count!" shouted Berg who ran up from the other side as eager as Boris. "Count! I am wounded in my right hand" (and he showed his bleeding hand with a handkerchief tied round it) "and I remained at the front. I held my sword in my left hand, Count. All our family—the von Bergs—have been knights!"
He said something more, but Rostov did not wait to hear it and rode away.
Having passed the Guards and traversed an empty space, Rostov, to avoid again getting in front of the first line as he had done when the Horse Guards charged, followed the line of reserves, going far round the place where the hottest musket fire and cannonade were heard. Suddenly he heard musket fire quite close in front of him and behind our troops, where he could never have expected the enemy to be.
"What can it be?" he thought. "The enemy in the rear of our army? Impossible!" And suddenly he was seized by a panic of fear for himself and for the issue of the whole battle. "But be that what it may," he reflected, "there is no riding round it now. I must look for the commander in chief here, and if all is lost it is for me to perish with the rest."
The foreboding of evil that had suddenly come over Rostov was more and more confirmed the farther he rode into the region behind the village of Pratzen, which was full of troops of all kinds.
"What does it mean? What is it? Whom are they firing at? Who is firing?" Rostov kept asking as he came up to Russian and Austrian soldiers running in confused crowds across his path.
"The devil knows! They've killed everybody! It's all up now!" he was told in Russian, German, and Czech by the crowd of fugitives who understood what was happening as little as he did.
"Kill the Germans!" shouted one.
"May the devil take them—the traitors!"
"Zum Henker diese Russen!" * muttered a German.
* "Hang these Russians!"
Several wounded men passed along the road, and words of abuse, screams, and groans mingled in a general hubbub, then the firing died down. Rostov learned later that Russian and Austrian soldiers had been firing at one another.
"My God! What does it all mean?" thought he. "And here, where at any moment the Emperor may see them.... But no, these must be only a handful of scoundrels. It will soon be over, it can't be that, it can't be! Only to get past them quicker, quicker!"
The idea of defeat and flight could not enter Rostov's head. Though he saw French cannon and French troops on the Pratzen Heights just where he had been ordered to look for the commander in chief, he could not, did not wish to, believe that.
Rostov had been ordered to look for Kutuzov and the Emperor near the village of Pratzen. But neither they nor a single commanding officer were there, only disorganized crowds of troops of various kinds. He urged on his already weary horse to get quickly past these crowds, but the farther he went the more disorganized they were. The highroad on which he had come out was thronged with caleches, carriages of all sorts, and Russian and Austrian soldiers of all arms, some wounded and some not. This whole mass droned and jostled in confusion under the dismal influence of cannon balls flying from the French batteries stationed on the Pratzen Heights.

* Many people don't realize that this is his full last name. It's usually abbreviated so that it can fit on jerseys, box scores, hitman contracts from his pitching staff, and baseball cards. No, I'm not still bitter about that trade at all, why do you ask?**
** Yes I definitely stole (did I say stole? I meant borrowed) the Pozterisks idea from one of the finest bloggers on the interwebs, Joe Posnanski.
As I mentioned, I really don't care about either Chicago team, any more than I care about, say, the Florida Marlins, or the Minnesota Twins. That being said, ever time I see a game listed on WGN I close my eyes, cross my fingers, tap my toes three times together, and wish to Aunty Em that it's a Cubs game. Why? Because from what I've seen, there is not a single more annoying set of commentators in all of sports than those in the employ of the White Sox ("put it on the boooooooaaaaaaaaard, YES!")***. The Cubs' announcers are sometimes only marginally better, and from what I can tell the Yankees' guys are pretty bad too ("THEEEEEEEEEEE Yankees win! THEEEEEEEEEEE Yankees win!"). For sheer homer-ness, for sheer annoying-ness, though, no one can match Ken Harrelson. I don't know, maybe I've been spoiled by hearing Jon Miller call so many Giants games, but I don't think that's it entirely. I mean, there are plenty of announcers around the league that aren't complete homers (you know, someone whose players can do no wrong, while even the best plays by the opponent barely get a comment). Let's set aside the Giants announcers, Krukow and Kuiper (whom I think are very good), as I might be a little bit biased on them. There are plenty of other announcers around that league that are good at providing well spoken, mostly-objective analysis (those employed by the A's, the Padre's, and as much as I hate to admit it, the Dodgers come to mind). That's not even counting some of the legends that are still around (Vin Scully, Dave Niehaus, etc.).
*** With, of course, the possible exception of Tim McCarver and whoever the Fox Propaganda Empire has paired him with. Someone please inform Mr. McCarver that there are indeed teams located outside of NY/Boston/LA/St. Louis. He seems unaware.
So, any White Sox fans out there? Tell me what you think. Do you LIKE having thses obnoxious homers calling your games? Do you wish it were different? I'm really curious. I think that I would get really annoyed with them, but they aren't homers for my team, so it's hard for me to judge.

Systems integration is an enduring issue in organizations. Many organizations have often been faced with the predicament of managing large and complex IT infrastructures accumulated over the years. Before proposing suitable integration architecture and selecting appropriate implementation solutions, a holistic and clear understanding of the enterprise-wide integration requirements among various internal and external systems is needed. This paper builds on prior literature on conceptual modelling of integration requirements to present an algorithm that synthesizes model fragments, i.e., piecemeal sections of the integration requirements. The details of the algorithm, for synthesizing two or more model fragments into a single integration requirements model, are detailed in this paper. An empirical assessment of the algorithm's generated integration solution is made by comparing it against that performed manually.

See Your Space Before You Build
Make Changes Early to
Save Time and Money
Like many, you may be wondering what makes a 3D tour so beneficial. Unlike a virtual tour, which is actual video of a home, a 3D walkthrough is a rendering that enables the user to add, move or completely remove elements, such as cabinets or furniture. Rather than merely indicating a home’s features, 3D walkthroughs allow one to gain a true sense of the space, as it incorporates height, width and depth.
Advantages of 3D Walkthroughs
- Your project will be assembled in a computer program so that you can “walk through it” and make changes before construction begins, saving time and money.
- Rather than go where a video tour takes you, you can navigate the space as you please.
- You’ll know if the features you want in your project are doable and sustainable.
- Once our design meets your approval, we can transfer it to blueprints. This offers huge advantages over the old process of redoing blueprints as the design evolves.
- 3D design allows us to make an accurate materials list, which ensures that nothing is over or under purchased, both of which can affect the final cost and timeline of your project.
- 3D walkthroughs also offer benefits for those seeking to remodel an existing space, and is a great tool for real estate agents and property managers.
Who Benefits from 3D Tours
Whether you are building new, remodeling or simply have a need to show an existing space, a 3D tour will provide you with many advantages. The following is a small sampling of the clients we help:
Real Estate Companies
Hotels and Restaurants
Assisted Living Facilities
Storefronts and Offices

There seems to be a separation taking shape between we tourists on this mountain.
Group A hypothesizes about our police enforced, collective curfew. Was it extended today, if so, for how long?
It’s rarely extended.
Group A sits in circles collaborating on the current state of the infection in India. What’s happening in their countries, then ultimately, they begin predicting the long term global effects of this Bird Flu.
Eventually there’s a sentimental shift where they talk of returning to their homes.
Where it’s safe.
Where it’s better.
Where it’s not here.
As soon as I start hearing “I herd” in conversations, followed by some monstrous prediction, I dip.
I call these conversations, coronavirusations.
I belong to the other group.
Group Cool B.
Group Cool B is here because this is where we are.
I know that sounds like guru double speak, or tacky political tongue wagging, but being in India, in Rishikesh specifically, in this very moment, was a choice for me.
During difficult times, it was even a goal of mine, to be here.
I’d fantasize about it.
Being around Individuals who use the word energy in 40% of their sentences.
Alas, Bird Flu has affected this beautiful expectation of mine.
Molested, feels like a better word.
My expectation has been horrifically molested and is now spending thousands of dollars on boutique therapy.
My days are becoming routine here in Rishikesh, my freedom of movement has become drastically compromised, in relation to how I’ve travelled during this past year.
Across a continent, whatever.
Not being able to visit a nearby waterfall without having a demoralizing interaction with local police, is a bit of a frustration for me, yes.
If yes could wear a Bane suit and get jacked up on a more intense Yes, that’s the yes, I’m actioning right now.
But in remembering all those moments of frustration and defeat in Africa.
Of various inexplicable Why The Fuck?
I am, at my core, respecting my choice to be here in India.
It was always my intention to allow aspects of Indias culture to preform shanti on both my body and my sprit.
To reflect on my experiences, to better understand how these experiences have impressed upon me behaviors, not all good.
For example when I’m asked for money or charged more for things I become either angry or disengaged.
Let’s call it what it is, a tantrum.
I throw tantrums now.
I’m currently trying, diligently, to knead this abysmal state of, being a baby, from my overall state of being.
What better environment to do this work, this reflective, perspective enhancing practice, than now. Here.
Of course I’d rather be in a tree house deep inside the Amazon, where my monkey butlers serve me tea and play checkers with me.
But I’m here.
And you’re there.
And my monkey butlers are probably playing Settlers Of Catan without me.
It reminds me of what a “Shaman” said to me in his dingy basement after scooping a plastic water bottles worth of grey ayahuasca
from a 5 gallon white pail.
“You want to do the ayahuasca?” he asked, extending the wet bottle toward me.
I looked around and thought, I want to be in a forest or a field with birds and space, not in a windowless basement with a mysterious weirdo.
“Here?” I asked skepticallly.
“It doesn’t matter where you are when you drink it” he said.
Mmmmhmm, I sighed.
Not believing, or really understanding what he meant.
Never to return.
Never to drink ayahuasca.
Never to have my puking unconscious body dry humped by a Peruvian construction worker.
The case can be made for each of us.
That we are empowered to use this time in isolation as we choose.
No judgements here, god knows If I had a PlayStation 4 and the new Call of Duty Modern Warfare, I’d be running around a virtual map looking for ATV’s to run people over with.
Sweet Jesus, thank you for not testing me.
Except for my hour or so a day of listening to Harry Potter and Prisoner of Azkaban, I try not to rely too much on technology.
Because now is my moment to practice compassion, humility and to strengthen my confidence in others.
I am, Bobby Elliott, The Prisoner of Rishikesh, after all.

2020 COAST FILM FESTIVAL WILL PROCEED - COVID-19 NOTICE
The Coast Film Festival plans to have an onsite film festival with a live audience in Laguna Beach November 12-15, 2020. However, we are at the mercy of the state and municipal government regarding reopening of these venues and are working closely with CDC guidelines to determine what format the festival will take and will keep you posted; whether it will be held in physical Laguna venues, online, or in some combination of the two with both screenings and panel discussions. Either will enable filmmakers to have their production seen by a significant audience. Prizes and awards will still be presented.
CFF is a celebration of film and stories told about places and people from the mountains to the sea and the spaces in between shared through the best of film, art and community. We showcase independent filmmakers and their documentary films about adventure, action sports and nature. The interactive multi-day experience is designed to bring the community together and raise awareness about the great outdoors, self discovery and the inherent need to protect and preserve wild places to enjoy them eternally.
The 2019 festival was our first. We screened 28 short and long form documentary films by both recognized and rising star filmmakers. Topics ranged from surf, ski, snowboard, mountain bike, skateboarding, climbing, paddling, running, sea exploration, adventure and stories about people's life learned experiences outdoors. Inspiring talks and panel discussions with producers and people in the films followed most screenings.
This year’s Festival runs from Thursday, November 12 to Sunday November 15, with all venues in Laguna’s downtown and nearby art festival venues. Cash prizes for top films including Best of Show, Audience Choice and others.
Each selected film will be marketed and given laurels and recognized in the program and through event promotions. We encourage all filmmakers to come to the event and selected individuals will have the opportunity be on a panel and share their story with fans and network with the community leaders and notable people from the active outdoor and surf industries who will be attending.

Think of your website as a puppy. You know, that puppy you always wanted for your birthday, but your parents always had second thoughts about. They would tell you that getting a puppy requires a whole lot responsibility. You would need to feed it, groom it, play with it, take it on walks, and most importantly, take it to the vet for regular checkups. Yikes! That’s a lot of responsibility. Well, your website requires the same degree of care and affection.
It’s not enough that you have a website. You should be constantly looking for ways to keep your website at its finest. You know regular updates, new content and bug fixes. Things like that. Otherwise, you’re looking at a website that is neglected and you don’t want your website to feel neglected, do you? Of course, you don’t. But how do you know whether your website needs improvement? Here are ten signs that your website needs improvement.
Not Optimized for Mobile Users
A lot of internet users are actually using their mobile phones for browsing. In fact, 91% of mobile users say that accessibility to content from their mobile phone is very important. If you want maximum success for your website, make sure that your web page is mobile-friendly. Also for best practice example follow htmlpro.net.
Do you have a lot of information on your website? If the answer is yes, then perhaps your website can use some compression. Information is good, but too much of it is just suffocating. Do not overwhelm visitors with too much content. No one wants to spend time reading or struggling to find specific information. This can prompt users to leave your page. Keep information clear and concise. Sometimes less is better.
Doesn’t Appeal to Your Target Audience
Picture your target audience. Now imagine yourself as a part of that audience browsing your website. Do you like what you see? Have you found what you’re looking for? If you’re struggling, then it’s more than likely your visitors are doing this too.
Your website should be tailored to meet their expectations. Ensure the content on your website is relevant to a specific market. Don’t just spam visitors with useless information. This will reason enough for them to hit the ‘close’ button.
Weak Call to Action
Once again, your website should have a purpose. It should drive visitors to action and increase conversion rates. If your page is falling behind in the conversion rate department then the most probable culprit for this deficiency is your call to action strategy. Do you have enough buttons, links, images and imperative verbs on your website that will encourage people to take action?
If no, then you should go back to the drawing board. Keep in mind that everyone reacts differently to different CTAs, so it’s best to have a bit of variety.
Takes Too Long to Load
If you want to drive visitors away from your web page then a lagging website works like a charm. But I’m sure that’s not your aim, right? If your page is taking too long to load then your website is in dangerous waters. Loading issues are the first sign that your website that needs improvement. Half of internet users expect a web page to load in less than two seconds. If you fail to meet this expectation, then you risk losing many potential and existing visitors.
The truth is, when people visit a website they expect to find information quickly and easily. They don’t want to have to open numerous links only to end up facing a brick wall. Make sure your website is easy to navigate around. And no, good navigation is not just about having a drop-down menu. If your clients are asking about information that is already available on your website, then maybe you need to get some professional IT help to review your web page navigation. For best example please visit htmlpro.net.
There’s no clearer sign that your website needs improvement than outdated information. The first thing you should check is your contact information. For instance, does your website list the correct contact email addresses, telephone numbers, and location? If not, you should definitely update this information, to show your visitors that you value them.
It is crucial that your website incorporates a lot of colors, images, and easy-to-read texts as part of your web design. If not, you risk getting negative first impressions from users. Did you know that users usually only need about 50 milliseconds (that’s 0.05 seconds in case you were wondering) to decide whether they like your website or whether they will abandon ship? So, make sure that the layout of your website is appealing enough for users. Additionally, statistics reveal that a staggering 94% of users say websites that are well-designed are more trustworthy. Consequently, page design and layout is important and if you’re having trouble, it’s okay to get some help.
Low Conversion Rate
Conversion rates refer to users taking some sort of action beneficial for your business. This can include sales, membership registrations, newsletter subscriptions and activity on social media, among other things. On average, your website should bring in about 2% of conversion rates. But of course, you should always strive for more. If your conversion rates are lower than this, then a website overhaul is long overdue.
Including relevant links on your website are important if you want to keep visitors interested. Links to social media pages, subscriptions and newsletters are a great way to retain current and future interest. Make sure they are readily available and easy to find. In case your website doesn’t have relevant links, then now’s the time for revision.
Do any of these telltales ring a bell? If so, it is definitely time to look for an appropriate solution to your website problem. Remember, a website requires just as much attention, care and responsibility as taking care of a puppy. The more you care about it, the more happiness and fulfillment it will bring to your life. Start making improvements today and enjoy the fulfillment tomorrow!

Lino or Carpet – Carpet or Lino: Floored!
The flooring was in quite a state – so after much discussion about whether we needed carpet or linoleum, we decided lino in the kitchen area, carpet in the bedroom and both in the lounge area.
And so began the hunt. I realise now that I am totally incapable of holding a colour in my head and matching it with something when I get home.
After several disastrous shopping trips we finally found the lovely Dee in DC Floors who let us take his display pieces of carpet and lino home from the showroom to try them in the van – SOLD – we ordered and paid and waited for the carpet fitter to contact us.
He did the following week and told us we would have to lift the vinyl tiles that were already stuck down before he could lay the new lino. Wee buns we thought – no problem – how wrong can you be ?
We started lifting the tiles in the kitchen and hall area which came up pretty easily, then moved to the lounge area where they had obviously been stuck with something like Sikaflex – which is fantastic stuff if you want to stick stuff up or down permanently – not so good when you’re the one coming behind trying to remove it.
We chipped away at it for a couple of hours before frustration got the better of me and I suggested we leave it for the day.
New day – new attitude. I decided to tackle the floor again on my own – but it just wasn’t happening fast enough for me.
I’d like to say I had an epiphany but it was more an idea born of desperation.
I wondered if I heated the glue would it ease the tiles off. So trusty hairdryer in hand I started heating the edge of the tile and amazingly it started to lift quite easily using a wallpaper scraper.
Half an hour later and all the floor tiles were lifted – thank you God.
Lifting the old vinyl tiles left an extremely sticky residue – so sticky that it pulled Alan’s shoe off when he stepped onto it for a few seconds.
We said a prayer and asked the carpet fitter if we needed to clean the stickiness off completely before he laid the new lino. Hallelujah – he said “no just leave it, it will help secure the new lino”.
I think if he’d said “yes it has to be completely cleaned”, I’d have left the country. It actually took less than two hours for him to fit both the lino and the carpet.
The carpet in the living area isn’t stuck down. We had it cut to shape and bound at the edges to create a rug the exact size of the living area, so we can have the wood effect floor down permanently and lay the rug if its cold. So glad we were able to bring the samples home to try – the match is perfect – I love it.
Once Alan clears his tools out of the way, we will be tackling the next major job – the re-upholstery. Stay tuned!
I think it is a vast improvement. Let us know what you think in the comments below regarding the dual carpet/lino idea.
