Trancoso is a town in the municipality of Porto Seguro in the state of Bahia, Brazil. The region was the landing point of the Portuguese explorer, Pedro Alvares Cabral onto Brazil, on April 21, 1500. It was founded by Jesuit Priests on 1583, with the name São João Baptista dos Indios.
Shaped as a rectangle, the village retains the original style of its housing architecture. It is famous for its beaches, such as Praia dos Nativos, Praia dos Coqueiros and Praia do Espelho. In recent years the location has been developed by the hotel industry, including the French Club Mediterranée, which has boosted real estate value.
The federal Ministry of the Environment is currently expanding several National Parks and Natural Reserves nearby with the goal of preserving remaining areas of Atlantic Rain Forest. In addition, Trancoso is located at the starting point of a state Environmental Protection Area, the APA Caraíva-Trancoso, whose goal is to curtail touristic and economical development in the region, thereby minimizing negative impacts that may harm this biosphere.
As in most of Brazil, the population is a mixture of native, African and Portuguese or other European descendants. In recent years, "winter birds" such as Canadians, Italians, Portuguese, Dutch, Greeks, Israeli, and other have purchased homes, bed and breakfast, restaurants, and stores here or in other Porto Seguro sections, such as Arraial d'Ajuda and eventually settled down in Trancoso.
The main square is known as 'Quadrado', although it is rectangular. To its east is a sixteenth-century Catholic Church, São João Batista, dedicated to Saint John, the Baptist.
On January 20, the 'Quadrado' is the site of a popular festival honoring Saint Sebastian, during which the locals sing and play drums and guitars. The main verse is: "São Sebastião, hoje chegou o dia. Vimos festejar com toda a alegria!" (Saint Sebastian, your day has arrived. We have come to joyfully celebrate it!)

If you're self-employed or own a small business, you may be able to establish a Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees, SIMPLE IRA plan. A SIMPLE IRA plan is a salary reduction retirement plan for certain small businesses that is established in the form of employee-owned traditional IRA (but with a higher contribution level). To qualify, you can't maintain another employer-sponsored retirement plan and must have no more than 100 employees who were employed in the past year and who earned at least $5,000. The SIMPLE IRA plan is funded with voluntary employee contributions and mandatory matching or nonelective contributions by the employer. Establishing such a retirement plan can provide you with a tax-advantaged way to save funds for your retirement; it may also help you attract and retain qualified employees.

This article explains component registration process in Zuora Quotes.
Starting with the Q1 2014 release of Zuora Quotes, you can register your own custom components and dynamically override or extend plugin implementation of existing components.
The component registration feature allows you to focus on the plugin development to apply relevant business logic without the routine overhead of preparing and re-deploying code changes. You can dynamically change the plugin implementation for registered components at runtime without having to redeploy updated code to production.
In order to use the component registration feature, you must be able to create and edit Apex classes and deploy them to your Salesforce organization.
To access the Component Registration page:
You can override or extend an existing plugin for a component. See Component Registration Examples for code sample to override and extend plugins. The steps to edit a component on the Component Registration page to override or extend a plugin are the same.
To edit a registered component:
After making changes to a component, you can restore component to the default setting if it is a standard component.
To restore a registered component:
You can delete custom component. The standard components are protected and cannot be deleted. The protected components are marked with a lock icon in the Protected field in the component list.
To delete a registered component:
To register a new custom component:
You can download a JSON file of your registered components, including overridden plugins for the standard components. You can then import this file in another Salesforce organization to customize the same components. This is an effective and less error prone way to propagate custom components and overridden plugins.
To export component definitions to a file:

My parents are forcing me to feed semisolids to my 4. 5 month old child. I told them to wait for 1 more month. They say that both me and my brother were started semisolid food after completion of three months and we are healthy. Baby is on combination feed and not drinking milk properly. He is drooling when ever he See's us eating solid food. What should I do?#parenting
| Sep 02, 2017
hello kia... I agree breast feeding is the best for the baby.. but If he is not taking proper milk then u must consult he pediatrician.. my son is 4 months and he had a lot of spit up complaints.. he used to keep spitting milk even after 3 hours after feeding.. but my pediatrician told me to start off with semisolid foods.. since I'm low on bm he had earlier told me to start with top feed.. now he told me not to depend completely on milk and start giving him top feed once a day.. I did start with ragi porridge and raw banana powder porridge since two days.. the doctor especially told me that I must give it a bit thick along with water and not to make it too loose since he mite not like it.. earlier I tried by mixing milk with it.. he would refuse to have it.. so I gave without milk and he ate it.. If u r doctor is insistent not to give it... stick to them.. but do tell him that u r baby is not taking proper milk..
| Apr 11, 2017
Simple solution to make ur parents understand is take them along with u to the pediatrician. Try to breastfeed exclusively & start with semi solids after six months.
| Apr 11, 2017
hi Kia.. wait untill Ur baby is 6months, exclusively bf it improves Ur baby Immunity
| Apr 11, 2017
i truly understand ur situation. i stay with my inlaws n a joint family. even i was told to feed d child food, cows milk , water n what not. its hard to explain ur inlaws.. luckily my hubbys frnd is a pediatric... so it became easier 4 me to explain them that Exclusive BF for 6 months only.
| Apr 11, 2017
hi kia .. drooling is common in babies... bt startn semi solids is not the ryt tym... if u feel ur unable to explain to ur parents visit ur paed n make ur paed explain to ur parents.... it ws an entirely different situation given abt 20-25 yrs back....

So you've started using eBird Mobile, either for the first time or on a new device, and you don't see any lists from your previous eBirding endeavors. Do not worry—no lists are missing or lost! As of right now, eBird checklists are not 'synced' between eBird Mobile and the eBird.org interface, nor between versions of eBird Mobile.
This is due to the current way that the upload process works: the app is actually creating a .csv file from what you enter, and is uploading this to the website. As a result, there is no easy way to 'sync' the data back to the app, from this one-way street of uploading.
We are planning to update the way that this works in coming months, and at that time we'll be able to move towards having your lists appear everywhere that you can enter data. For the moment, if you go to My eBird on eBird.org, you'll be all set!
The most important part of eBird data entry does sync at this time: all of your locations. This, combined with your user information, allows the data entry experience to be quick and easy. We will also be working to enable addition of extra metadata in the upload process in the coming months: breeding codes, portal-specific entries, additional protocols, age/sex information, and eventually photos.

text: Wow! I haven't been able to enjoy view any photos in a while or even get to my own page that much lately. It took me over a month to find a place to stay here in Texas. I got to admit I wasn't spending the entire time looking. I spent a good amount of time on the road visiting family. Even got trapped in Baton Rouge for a day because of the flooding. I have been have a real adventure even though most of it seems like I was just a viewer. I had tires blow out from under me, trapped by water, seen a dead horse on the side of the road being picked a part by buzzers and then the best part I got to see the little people that make life worth living my Nieces and Nephews. I'm not completely settled in and I am moving things in slowly. I like it this way because I can bring things in a find a place for it and then bring more. This weather is going to take some getting use too. I am really not use to it being so hot so early in the morning. Before leaving Oregon a lot of good things came my way and they have change the way I view things. The changes were for the better and now I just have to maintain them. Looking forward to better.

Nikon D750 (Body Only) OverviewAuthor : Findyogi Editor Published :
The Good
- 3.2" tilting LCD.
- Excellent AF system at low light.
- Thin, Light-weight full-frame body.
- 51-point AF System.
- Large Optical Viewfinder.
- 2 preset modes for easy shooting.
The Bad
- Tends to be slow in Live-View Mode.
- Buffer capacity falls short when it comes to shooting RAW files.
- Maximum shutter speed of only 1/4000.
- Weak Wi-Fi capability.
The Bottom Line
Nikon D750 is a highly capable full-frame camera which has successfully managed to carve a niche for itself. Bundled with quality features, the D750 stands out in almost everything a photographer asks for. For sure, it has its fair share of flaws, but those are negligible if you look at the bigger picture. Definitely one of the best models to come out from the Nikon line-up.
Nikon D750 occupies the perfect sweet spot when it comes to Full-frame models from the Nikon flagship. Nestled between the entry-level D610 and the high-end top grade D810, D750 is the most significant model from Nikon borrowing features from both models. Bundled with a 24MP Full-frame CMOS Sensor, advanced 51-point,auto focus system, built in Wi-Fi, D750 is the go-to model for a lot of photographers, professionals included.
Camera Body:
D750s layout bears a striking resemblance to D610. It is weather-sealed and features magnesium alloy for the rear and top cover but uses lighter carbon fiber for the front chassis and cover. It has a deep grip on the front right hand side which is more comfortable to hold onto. Ergonomics wise, it is right up there along with most high-end Nikon models. Nikon D750 is the very first full-frame model from Nikon to supply a tilting articulated screen giving you choices to compose high and low angle shots. Along with the LCD on the rear, there's a small LCD information screen mounted on the top just like most other high-end DSLRs. Although, Nikon has compromised on the size of the screen as they have made it a bit narrower and contains less information as compared to other models that have this LCD screen. Along with this, Nikon D750 is equipped with a pentaprism optical viewfinder with 100%coverage and 0.7x magnification.
Features :
Continuous Shooting : The continuous shooting of D750 is maxed out at 6.5 fps, which is even higher than the D810. However, buffer rate capacity tends to get filled after a certain number of shots. This holds for both JPEGs and RAW. The fps tends to go down even with RAW (14-bit losslessly compressed ) format.
Auto-focus : The D750 employs an advanced version of the 51-point Multi-CAM 3500FX AF system. It is the same as that of the Nikon D810 but it outperforms the D810 when it concerns auto-focus at low-light(-3EV). It has 51 focus points, 15 of which are cross type and 11 of which work at f8. The AF System works in tandem with the metering system to provide spot-on face recognition and tracking. Other cameras tend to focus on the closest object when in AF mode. The D750 doesn't face any hassle in this regard. In 3D focus tracking, it locks onto the face of the subject even while the subject is in motion. The D750 also offers auto-focus in Live View mode, although few users will be disappointed with it. The AF tends to be sluggish in this mode as compared to manual focus. Also, focussing takes a slightly long time to lock on and compose the shot in low-light situations. Best served for static shots.
Wi-Fi : Nikon D750 also features built-in Wi-Fi. However at its current format this feature is pretty weak. It limits the user to only capturing a photo and to view it. For changing any exposure related settings, the user has to go back to the camera and do so. Nikon can definitely improve in this regard.
Battery : Nikon D750 uses one EN-EL15 Rechargeable Li-ion battery as its power source along with the optional MB-D16 Multi-Power Battery Pack.
Sensor Performance and Image Quality:
Nikon D750 employs a 24MP full frame FX-format sensor, contains 24.93 pixels coupled with an AA filter for moire minimization. The D750 allows users the option the choose from both JPEGs and RAWs which are then brached into fine, normal and basic modes. However, users don't have the option of choosing uncompressed or lower resolution files unlike D810. It also offers users the choice of shooting in Dx and 1.2x format. Although why you would you want to utilise a full-frame camera other than it's intended format ? Unless you have a Dx lens in your kit.
In terms of image quality, the Nikon D750 comes up with crisp and still maintains its ground on delivering detailed imagery and excellent dynamic range. It does fall short if you compare it to the D810, but then D810 is also not an amateur. It is supposedly one of the best full-frame models to have come out from Nikon. In JPEG format and at higher ISO levels, D750 is able to bring out detailed images with less amount of noise. Upto ISO 3200, the images are less immune to noise. But if you go above that, then there's a small increase in the noise levels. And if the ISO keeps on increasing, then the loss of tonal distinction in high key areas also keeps on going towards the higher side. Although some parts can be recovered via noise-reduction techniques and by using RAW format.
Verdict :
Nikon D750 combines a host of features, performance, top-notch sensor quality, excellent auto-focus system, ergonomics. It is definitely not cheap but for such features, I would say it's well worth the money. By using a top-notch sensor , D750 also gives it's higher end models a run for their money. Add to that its low-light excellent auto-focus system. It can definitely increase on the buffer capacity, one thing which sports and fast-paced photographers might twitch their nose about.
Overall, a solid performer.

the girl & the fig, fig café, and Estate | Sonoma
Before the girl & the fig became a major icon in California's Sonoma County, it was a start-up venture by Sondra Bernstein, who handed off the newly inaugurated kitchen to John Toulze. Working his way up from sous chef and floor manager to chef de cuisine, Toulze followed the fig's philosophy of "country food with a French passion" and had a major hand in growing the company to what it is today: a multi-branch business that offers fine-dining, catering, a cookbook, and a gourmet food line.
Presently executive chef and chief of operations—in addition to equity owner of the company's three restaurants—Toulze was instrumental in the original fig's move from Glen Ellen to Sonoma, as well as in opening the fig café & winebar and Italian restaurant Estate. The Northern California-native also played a key role in developing the girl & the fig's "Wine Country Fig Food" product line, and he participated heavily in developing recipes for the girl & the fig Cookbook published by Simon & Schuster in April 2004.
A self-taught charcutier, Toulze is also credited for incorporating 7 to 11 different types of homemade charcuterie into his restaurants' menus, including sopressata, lonzo, lardo, pancetta, rosette de Lyon, and chorizo. (See our article The Art and Economics of Charcuterie featuring Chef Toulze here.) The executive chef began a career in cooking and wine sales at Sonoma's Viansa Winery and Marketplace before coming to the girl & the fig.
back to top
Baylee Simon: How did you develop an interest in cooking professionally?
John Toulze: I grew up in a family that cooked. My father comes from a French family and originally his dream was for me to go to culinary school. I rebelled because that was more his dream than mine, but as I found myself going to college, I ended up working in restaurants to support myself and it just happened. Originally I was going to go to culinary school, but I just decided that I didn't want to. It just kind of evolved that way and I never ended up going.
BS: Do you recommend culinary school to aspiring chefs? Do you hire chefs with and without culinary school backgrounds?
JT: It depends on the person. My feeling on [school] is I would recommend it, but I wouldn't recommend it to folks who have no experience in the industry. What I normally tell people is to go work in a restaurant for a little while and make sure this what you want to do, because school is not going to really show you want [the industry] is about. You couldn't teach me to paint if you sent me to any school in the world; I don't have that ability. That's why I tell people to work in the industry a little bit. [Cooking] may not be what you're talented at, even if you love to cook. A lot of people don't want to hear that, but it's true. There is something innate, you either have that ability or you don't. But yes, I do recommend culinary school if it's what you want to do and the timing is right.
[A culinary degree] is not a prerequisite. And we don't hold it against anyone, but when we hire, we look at experience, etc. But if they did go to culinary school, the school they went to has a lot to do with [hiring] as well, along with when they went there.
BS: When did you open your first restaurant? How did you know you were ready to own and not just work for someone else?
JT: Sondra Bernstein and I opened the girl & the fig in 1997. Sondra is my partner; nothing I've ever done has been without her. So I've been very lucky to work with her. And we have a unique partnership, and that's why it works. Originally I didn't plan on owning my own restaurant. I went in [the girl & the fig] as an employee, and I wasn't ready to own my restaurant; I didn't have the money to own my own restaurant. The opportunity I had with Sondra was to work into an equity position, and as we went forward, we worked more so on a partnership level.
We've opened six restaurants together now. And with the first one I thought, "I want to try this and be an integral part of opening a restaurant." Since then my cover has grown and my equity and everything has grown each time we open something new. It wasn't a simple epiphany that, Oh, I'm ready. We just opened another restaurant six months ago, and I still don't feel ready when we do it. I've always cautioned myself and everyone else that if in this business you ever think you've got it down, then you're going to fail. I don't know that I'll ever feel that I'm ready to open my own restaurant.
BS: What is the deal? How do you get the money? Partners?
JT: We have partners and the money comes from those partners. We have one company that owns a good portion of the girl & fig, the fig café and the catering business, and I have an equity stake in that. We have another business that has our Estate restaurant in it, and I am an equity owner in that; we sought partners for the money. So we structure each deal differently, it just depends on where we are and what we're doing. We don't speak a lot about [the partners]. But at the end of the day, the decisions are made in-house. We structure the equity so that Sondra or I make the decisions.
BS: Who are your mentors?
JT: This is always a hard question to answer because I think people really, really want me to have an answer for it, and I don't. And I look to so many people, you can name anyone. I'm going to Vegas later this week, and I'm looking at all of these restaurants and saying, "Oh my God, Daniel is great." Even looking at Charlie Palmer and what he's doing there. I admire each one of those guys because they are what I've always wanted to be: a chef and a successful business person. And I think those are the folks I admire—Thomas Keller, how can you not admire a guy like that? I tend to admire chefs who are chefs first but business people equally; chefs who understand they don't want to open a restaurant because it's just about making money or because they want to get their names on the wall. But at the same time, they know how to do both. There are a lot of talented chefs out there right now who are atrocious business people.
Also Sondra has been my number one mentor in just so many ways. From the business side and the restaurant side, she's been my guiding force, without a doubt. I'm lucky that my mentor is still my partner. In this business, people always seem to be running away for the next best opportunity. I caution against that. Look at who you're working with now, you may have everything you need right there.
BS: How would you define the girl & the fig brand?
JT: Our brand is really about integrity and authenticity. That is our brand—quality, quantity and consistency. If you're in this business and you can do those things, and you have a concept that people like, you can be successful. We are building [our brand] in a way so that when people hear the girl & the fig, they immediately think of those things: the quality, the consistency and the quantity. And I don't mean quantity as in portion size, but the quantity of the experience. It's a sensory overload from the design of the restaurant to how it fits into its environment. You couldn't take the girl & the fig and put it in New York City. We are constantly thinking about how we can maximize your experience and make it great. And then there's uniqueness. We don't want to do things that are unique just to do things that are unique, we want to make the experience unique so that we don't just fit into that mold of 800,000 other restaurants you've been to. It's just simple common sense and basic ethics.
The other driving factor for us is honesty and integrity. We don't do a lot of promotion that we use this type of ingredient or that type, or we recycle. You don't read our menu and say, "Oh, that's from County Line Farms." But we do use the best quality products. We don't have to tell you that because you know us, and you know we're doing that anyway. That's the brand—a brand meant to be associated with a very singular experience that is Sonoma County. We always wanted the girl & the fig to be synonymous with Sonoma County. We've always wanted to be that one Sonoma restaurant that everyone who passes through the area wants to go to. And that is kind of what we've tried to build.
BS: You just opened Estate, which serves regional Italian food. Why the switch from French-American?
JT: the girl &the fig's motto is"Country food with French passion." We've gotten tagged as a French bistro, but we also think of our food as country food. So it's Sonoma County country food, but with French technique. I look at our food as, you may come to America and you may act as an American does, but you speak with a French accent. We still cook California food and country food, but with a French accent. With Estate we do the same thing but with an Italian accent. When you think of what fits well with Sonoma, it's Provence and a French bistro, but also Italy. Sonoma is probably more aligned with Italy than with France. Look at the climate and seasonality of Sonoma County, it looks a lot like Tuscany's. So Estate just always made sense to us. For me, with regards to salumi making, I've made it for years. French American cuisine doesn't present the same opportunity for salumi as regional Italian. So it just made sense for the space.
BS: What are three tips for running a successful restaurant?
JT: I think the biggest tip is pick good people. We're in an industry that needs more labor hours per dollar of sales than almost any out there. So the number one tip I give to restaurant owners is pick good people. [Diners] may get to see you once or for only five minutes, but they'll see your staff the entire time they're at your restaurant.
The number two tip is know what everything costs. I have a friend who I'm trying to help with his restaurant, and I went in and asked him simple questions: What is your lunch average versus your dinner average? And he couldn't answer the questions accurately. His food is phenomenal, his sales are pretty good, but he's not making any money and he doesn't know why. And too often we think, I put good food on the table and lots of people come in, so I'm going to be successful. But the difference between an 8 percent and 2 percent margin will put you out of business. You've got to know where your money is coming in from before it goes out. And that goes back to people—if you can't do it yourself, you need someone in the business who can help you do it. There are some amazingly successful chefs who go out on their own and fall flat on their face. They didn't know how to change roles and make sure the bills are paid on time—that's what keeps you in business. Set [your restaurant] up like a business and run it like a business, and set it up with the best people.
My last tip is do what you're good at. If you're a great chef, be a great chef, don't try to be a great accountant. Even if it costs you more to hire someone to process your pay roll, it actually makes up for the lost value of you not being in the kitchen [if you're processing payroll, yourself]. If you don't know how to market, don't try to be a marketer. If it were left up to my own devices to market, we'd be screwed. Our marketer is amazing. Do what you're good at, and if you do that, you have a good chance to be successful.
BS: What is your five year plan? Expand? Maintain current empire?
JT: The plan is to get better and better and better, to be focused on sales and see where we can do better. The other thing we talk about with our staff is, if it's not better tomorrow, it's not as good as it was today. As a diner, you don't sit on one experience of dining out and expect the same one the next time you return; you remember your experience fondly, and [the memory] gets better and better over time. So if you come back to the same restaurant the next time and the experience isn't better, then it wasn't as good as it was the first time.
In the next five years, I would hope that all of our businesses are thriving and are more efficient than they are now. We have more in us, and we're not going to be satisfied with just three restaurants. We tend to take on one big project per year. I would love to have eight big projects at the end of five years. We've learned from our experiences, and we've gotten to the point where we know ourselves well enough to just sit back and see what happens next. We don't want to grow for growth's sake, but grow in a way that is sustainable for our business, ourselves and our staffs. The next five years will bring a lot.

We are rather like whirlpools in the river of life. In flowing forward, a river or stream may hit rocks, branches, or irregularities in the ground, causing whirlpools to spring up spontaneously here and there. Water entering one whirlpool quickly passes through and rejoins the river, eventually joining another whirlpool and moving on. Though for short periods it seems to be distinguishable as a separate event, the water in the whirlpools is just the river itself. The stability of a whirlpool is only temporary. The energy of the river of life forms living things – a human being, a cat or dog, trees and plants – then what held the whirlpool in place is itself altered, and the whirlpool is swept away, reentering the larger flow. The energy that was a particular whirlpool fades out and the water passes on, perhaps to be caught again and turned for a moment into another whirlpool.

If you are staying in the South of France on holiday this summer and you do not have the luxury of your own private pool, then you maybe interested in finding some great places to cool off from the hot South of France sun. Whether it be lakes or cool mountain rivers, or even outdoor pools in towns, the South of France has an abundance of good places for wild swimming. There is no need to rent a villa with a pool, just follow our guidelines for the 10 best places to go wild swimming in South France.
Wild swimming places in France
Every town and village that you pass through during the summer, you will see groups of teenagers heading out for rivers or lakes to cool off during the afternoon. These swimming spots have been in use for centuries and they were the only places that residents in the South of France could cool off during the long summers. We have lived in the South of France for over 10 years now and during that time we have discovered some great places to take our 3 boys swimming during the hot summer months. Here is the list of our 10 favourite places in South France for wild wimming.
1.) Wild swimming South of France - St Jean du Gard
On the River Gardon in between the towns of St Jean du Gard and Anduze, close to the village of Mialet, you will find a wonderful sone bridge designed by Monsieur Eiffel (of the Paris Tower fame). Underneath the river there are plenty of places to swim and paddle in the cool water.
2.) Swimming lakes in South of France - Lac du Salagou
Lake Salagou is like marmite, you either love it or you can't see what all the fuss is all about. Personally, I am in the last category. I just don't get it. But lots of people adore Salagou. People come and spend their holidays nearby. Indeed the teacher of my eldest son even wrote a song about Salgou! It is a good spot for windsurfing and sailing and there is a good half day cycle trail around the shore. You will find Lake Salagou close to the town of Clermont d'Hearault, just off the A75.
3.) Swimming lakes in France - Pont du Diable
This is one of my favourite spots in South France. Just below the lovely village of St Guilhem le Desert, the river Herault has been partially dammed forming a small lake. From the banks of the lake you can take out a canoe and paddle up the ravine under the Pont du Diable. You just need to be careful to avoid the crazy teenagers hurling themselves 30 foot down off the small road bridge into the river below. In the last few years a lot of money has been spent developing the surrounding area, including providing a large car park, a lovely visitor centre (where you can grab a cool beer and ice cream) and a life guard look out post. We like to get to the lake for mid-afternoon and then head up to St Guilhem around 8.00pm for a Pizza in the square above the village. Pont du Diable is located 35kms north-west of Montpellier on the D27 between the villages of Aniane and St Guilhem le Desert. The nearest landmark is the Grotte de Clamouse underground cave centre.
4.) Wild swimming South of France - Gorge du Verdon
In France's equivalent of the Grand Canyon, you will find a turquoise blue river with plenty of shade from the surrounding cliffs. Hiring a canoe is an obvious choice as you can then paddle along the River Verdon to find a secluded river beach to base yourself. The Canyon is about 25 kilometres long and up to 700 metres deep. The most impressive part of the canyon can be found between the towns of Castellane and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie. The Gorge du Verdon is located in the very north of the Var department, approximately 40kms north-west of Dragignan and 1.5 hours west of Cannes and Nice.
5.) Places for swimming South of France - Roquebrun
Roquebrun is one of the prettiest villages in Languedoc. Perched on the edge of the river Orb and framed by a giant rocky spur behind, Roquebrun is a great place to spend an afternoon. The river is slow-flowing and there is a little weir that you can slide down (our kids normally go down head first, but there again they are mad little buggers!!). Roquebrun is located close to Saint Chinian, 25mins north-west of Beziers.
6.) Wild swimming in France - Vallon Pont d'Arc du Ardeche
The Vallon Pont d'Arc on the Ardeche river is an instantly recognizable landmark. This 30m high rocky arch which has been eroded out by the river from the rock provides an excellent base for canoeing, swimming and a river-side picnic. But be careful, the river is quite fast flowing and full of rocks. We arrived too late to hire a canoe here with our boys and we were very glad that we were. When we saw the people trying to navigate the rapids (unsuccessfully!!) we were rather pleased that we just elected for a quite paddle. It is not white water rafting style rapids, but it is not a quite paddle along the river either. Still the adrenelin junkies will love it. Vallon Pont d'Arc is located close to the town of Vallon. Vallon Pont d'Arc is located 1 hour north-west of Orange in the Ardeche department.
7.) Swimming in waterfalls France - Gorges d'Heric
Well I say waterfalls. You will only really find these active in the winter (when you would have to be deranged to consider swimming in the river). In the summer, the the waterfalls give way to little rock pools that are perfect for swimming in. Some of the pools are deep enough for jumping in from the nearby rocks (although for diving please see comments in relation to swimming in the river in winter!!). The Gorge de Heric is located in the heart of the Languedoc National Park, close to the town of Lamalou-les-Bains and in between the villages of Le Poujol sur Orb and Olargues on the D908. There is a car park at the bottom of the Gorge (near the village of Mons-la-Trivalle).
8.) South France lakes for swimming - Lake Montbel
Located in between the beautiful town of Mirepoix and Limoux, you will find this amazing lake. The water is the brighest turqoise you will ever see. Lake Montbel is a centre for windsurfing. It also has a kiosk where you can hire pedalos (complete with water slides on the back. There is also a nice little beach-side shack where you can get a cheeky little beer or a cup of coffee. The nearest village to Montbel is Chalabre. If you are heading out this way, make sure you go on a Monday and take in the excellent market at Mirepoix. Well worth the stop off. Montbel is 30 minutes due south of Carcassonne in the beautiful Arriege countryside.
9.) Places for swimming South of France - Pont du Gard
Just under this famous Roman aqueduct there is a rocky beach and nice cool river. There is plenty of parking in the Visitor centre car park (on the Northern side of the river) or you can take your luck along the road on the Southern side of the river. The Pont du Gard is located north-west of Nimes, close to the lovely town of Uzes.
10.) Lakes for swimming in South France - Barrage des Olivettes, Vailhan, Herault
This little lake close to Roujan in Herault was a life-saver for us. If you are fed up of the beach and you want to find a safe place for a cool swim, then Barrage des Olivettes in the village of Vailhan is the answer to your prayers. To find the Barrage des Olivettes, you take a little track from the village of Roujan (which seemingly takes hours, but is only 5kms). By the time that you reach Vailhan you feel that you are at the end of the world. There are a number of picnic spots, but you probably need to arrive at dawn to grab one of the picnic tables. There is also an excellent restaurant here called L'Auberge du Presbytère.

Abstract art has helped us to experience the emotional power inherent in pure form.
Our attempt at focusing must give way to the vacant all-embracing stare
Every student deserves to be treated as a potential genius.
There comes a voluptuous moment when the senses and the whole skin tingle with a sharpened awareness of the body and the world around.
The work of art
acts like another living person
with whom we are conversing.
The immortality of great art seems bound up with the inevitable loss of its original surface meaning and its rebirth in the spirit of every new age.
Superficially insignificant or accidental looking detail [in art] may well carry the most important unconscious symbolism.

Print Smart." fall business development seminars for print business owners and managers. The free seminars, being held in key U.S. cities beginning in October, will feature industry experts Dr. Joe Webb, Vince Naselli, Tom Crouser, and Stephen Sanker. The seminars, designed to demonstrate to attendees ways to renew their business and build profits, will feature Presstek's panel of experts, which will cover a range of topics including industry trends, new technology and equipment, new thinking about equipment cost justification, and how to capitalize on changes in the marketplace.

Attendees will learn how to use payback analysis to help make equipment decisions and identify and examine phantom benefits, easily forgotten costs such as hard wiring expenses, and downside risk. Says Crouser, "Some of the most common thinking about cost justification is right on the money. But much of it is way off, and I'm here to clarify the variables and arm printers with the knowledge they need to assess potential investments." New Technology and Equipment Sanker, Presstek's North American Marketing Director of DI Press Products will discuss the solutions that are available today to help printers profitably meet market requirements.

Our sustainability promise to you and Mother Earth
The textbook definition of sus·tain·a·bil·i·ty [suh-stey-nuh-bil-i-tee] sums it up pretty well. Sustainability is a quality. That quality is not being harmful to the environment, or depleting natural resources, which would then thereby support long-term ecological balance. At Ride Guides making sure we are doing EVERYTHING that we can to reduce our environmental impact is a top priority. While we might not be the most serious of individuals on any given day, we are VERY serious about ensuring that the natural preserves that we ride in stay that way and are around for our children and beyond.

Our Girls are missing since April 15, 2014. Pray.
Nigeria is at a dangerous multi-directional crossroads. Politicians arrogantly browbeating and insulting 'Reconstructionistas' or 'True Federalistas' is not the answer. The pressures of dwindling oil revenue and corruption-driven high exchange rates and poverty and unemployment, callous state governments' misusing 'Paris Fund Windfall', pension backlogs, and political infighting are creating the economic and social conditions for a 'Perfect Storm'. There is a real likelihood of a people's upheaval from any seemingly trivial incident causing a 'Massive Tsunami' sweeping away the current politicians to a political ignominy and a vacuum where their voices will never be sought for advice or direction. Community against community, neighbour against neighbour. Too many are at breaking point from life-long developmental, infrastructural, oil-block misallocation, economic and political injustice inflicted on them. Politicians should not stand against the tide of public opinion that is endeavouring to improve lives by extracting more from the federal purse and using it for faster regional and state development –if it is not stolen 'as usual' when it gets to the state and LGA.
The argument does not hold water that some do not know what they want or do not know what 'Restructuring' and 'True Federalism' mean as there is no consensus. They know they do not want another day of 'False or Fake Federalism' under a false 1999 Constitution. So give the people justice and what they do want. 'Restructuring' and 'Fixing False Federalism' can progress beside all other government business. The ruling government is supposedly democratic anxious to re-install 'True Democracy' though it has been diluted by political party 'changers' taking anyone without question. This government can right political and regional wrongs while addressing the yearnings and survival needs of the people for jobs, electric power, roads, security et cetera. Governments must multi-task! The country will stand still if NEC appoints ministers or a committee to face 'Restructuring' and 'False Federalism'. Many Nigerians will add technical value to the 'Restructuring Effort'.
Why do we keep repeating the same mistake before the court? Why do police, EFCC, ICPC seek to complete investigation into multiple 'counts' against an accused before going to court? Government needs an Executive Order ''2019 New Guiding Principle of Prosecution'' – sing: 'Count Your Crimes One by One, And It Will Surprise You What The Judge Has Done. One Crime, One case at a time. Guilty, imprisonment, a heavy fine. This will draw the line'. The police must use the simplest case to get a jail-able conviction. Once the person, now clearly a criminal is jailed, the police can add other cases after investigation. Court cases will be shorter with better conviction results. We are tired of '100 or 105 count charge', four year trial with no conviction, just rubbish smiles on TV insulting our intelligence!!
Even kidnappers complain of 'illegal detention'. Is 'illegal detention' not kidnappers' modus operandi? A beg jo! Are even lawyers working against the law?
Is this democracy the democracy we really want? Even if it is carbon copy of the American system, is this American system, with Nigerian modification, the best democratic example out there? Can we learn from examples of true federalism like in Switzerland? Politicians may be happy with themselves having financially exploited the system but they are failing our expectations of them. They demonstrate scant regard for the citizen once they are in government.
Be cautious when taking advice for past leaders mainly responsible for our current poor 'State Of The Nigerian Nation'. If you pray as Jonathan has suggested, keep both eyes open, watching the budget and CBN dollar electronic transfers and bullion van movement so 'our money' is not 'disappeared' to Ikoyi and other 'safe houses' during 'close ya eye' and 'Amin- Amen' prayers. Johnathan is the immediate past architect of Nigeria- some say – Nigeria's Rape. As for Babangida, haba, you still de talk again? The youth and the new press have no memory of you. They seriously 'Need To Know The Babangida We Lived Under, His Double Speak And Regime Results' and, 'settlement' corruption, trauma of financial and political and economic nature, the increasing interest rates from 3% mortgages to 15% to 28% with high CBN slush funds from an astronomical Monetary Policy Rate and the associated Dele Giwa parcel bomb –long before Boko Haram, the first bombing in post-Civil War Nigeria. These all took place during the 'Dark Ages' of Babangida, Abacha and Abdusalami.
Babangida is certainly a key architect of 'The Fake Federalism and Failure of Nigeria' to modernise. His recent call for restructuring with his 'Evil Genius', 'Machiavellian' moral credentials should be microscopically examined for time bombs. Remember he left us a deadly present in Abacha and his Al Mustapha- also now seeking 'Rehabilitation and Reconstruction' perhaps for further high office like Governor or even President. He was and remains an offence to the sensibilities of most Nigerians surviving the tyrannical Abacha era on whose watch we mourned murdered MKO Abiola, Kudirat Abiola, Pa Alfred Rewane, Mr Onogoruwa-the son, and machine-gunned and maimed Mr Ibru and Pa Adesanya who was accused of shooting at himself, and the harassed NADECO Front. Best we not forget this past before Babangida puts himself or a son up for 2019 President. Who cares? Please care more for your country than our collective past presidents did!
NB: Nigerians, find a new generation of 'I LOVE NIGERIA'
KNOWLEDGEABLE CANDIDATES for 2019.

How To Tell If You Have The New Instagram Geostickers So You Can Live That New York Life
Looking for a fun way to spice up your Insta posts? In its latest update, Instagram is releasing over a dozen new geostickers for New York City and Jakarta just in time for spring break travelers. If you are unsure how to tell if you have the new Instagram geostickers, accessing the new options is thankfully pretty straightforward. They can be a great way to add context to those ephemeral posts published in Stories, so get ready to have a whole lot of fun.
Much like Snapchat's geofilters, these stickers tell followers where a photo or video was taken — something particularly handy when the images are being scrolled through quickly in a slideshow format. Stickers were added to Instagram Stories in December, and can be employed when editing a post by tapping on the smiley face at the top right corner of the screen. Users will find a variety of stickers that can offer contextual details to a post such as the specific time, temperature and weather, and location — which the app will automatically provide. Users can easily change the look of the stickers by tapping on them for more options, as well as changing their placement and size. In addition to contextual stickers, 'grammers can liven up a stories post with hats, glasses, emojis, and specialty seasonal stickers available around the holidays.
Up to this point, the location stickers have be somewhat limited — and as a New York City resident, I can't wait to test out the new geo-specific stickers which will include even more new landmarks and neighborhoods. Next time I fly out of JFK airport, visit the American Natural History Museum, or take the A train to Harlem, I will be able to put the moment in context with an updated sticker.
Here's a step-by-step guide of how to tell if you have Instagram's newest geostickers in time for your next big trip:
1. Update Your Instagram App
While Instagram's geostickers have been around for several months now, the newest additions will be arriving care of the Instagram version 10.11 — so you will want to upgrade to the latest version of the app. For iOS devices, head over to the App Store. Android users will want to check out Google Play for all available updates. If you don't have this version of Instagram, you probably won't have the stickers.
2. Travel To The Desired Location And Create A Story
Once you travel to your Instagram-worthy location, make sure that the photo-sharing app has permission to access your current location prior to creating a Story. To do so, go to your phone's settings, tap the privacy option and then "location settings." Allow Instagram to access your location "While Using The App." Create a story by tapping your profile photo in the Stories section at the top of the feed, and go ahead and create that Insta magic!
3. Tap The Smiley Face Icon To Reveal Sticker Options
Once you capture the perfect photo or video, Instagram will direct you to the editing page. Tap the square smiley face in the upper right hand side of the screen and the sticker options will appear at the bottom of the screen. Location, time, and temperature will be the first ones listed.
4. Add A Geosticker To The Post And Publish Your Unique Creation!
Once you tap the "Location" sticker, the sticker options will autopopulate with nearby landmarks and neighborhoods. If you have the new geostickers in New York, what you'll see will look something like it does here. With more custom locations than ever before, you will be sure to find the perfect sticker for your post. Warning: current location stickers may produce vacation envy in Story viewers.
For more information check out the Instagram Help Center. Happy 'gramming y'all!

According to the ASPCA, the most common reason for puppies to lose their appetite and vomit profusely is due to eating something they should not have. However, there are a variety of other medical issues which may cause similar digestive problems. Regardless, the best course of action is to take the dog to a veterinarian as soon as possible.
Due to their age, puppies are often susceptible to a variety of ailments which adult dogs can easily fight off. It is also not uncommon for puppies to vomit as a result of consuming their food too quickly, according to About.com Puppies.
There are also a number of more serious maladies which can cause excessive vomiting, some of which are life-threatening. If the animal in question has recently been adopted it can be a good idea to make certain that their immunizations are up to date. Certain pathogens and viruses are intentionally immunized against simply because of how common they are. According to Pet MD, the Parvo virus is one such example, though this is normally accompanied by frequent and uncontrollable loose stool, usually watery in consistency.
The ASPCA cites several, much more serious and less preventable, systemic issues which can include vomiting as a symptom. If a puppy vomits more than once, it is best to err on the side of caution and simply take it in to see a veterinarian.

so yeah, i'm back in my own space after a week of housesitting/catsitting in the northeast end, and both house and cat were left in good condition. the location may be a little out of the way for me - and trudging through so much ice and slush and heavy snow for pretty much the entire week was trash - but getting to curl up in a cozy little ravine suite while the snow fell outside was most excellent. (i also spent a lot of evenings going through all the rammstein making-of videos and cackling.)
i mean, this sure wasn't a tough friday night:
still, i'm always glad to be home. i've said it so many times, but my apartment is my favourite place, and i don't really feel fully at ease until i'm recharging in my home base. it's got all my things in it! (plus, like, a general good vibe and very nice decor) i've lived in my current place for almost six years now and i don't see myself leaving anytime soon, especially not when i list "great and affordable apartment all to myself" under the things that i'm constantly thankful for.
i've mentioned it before, but it's maybe a little dumb that my apartment keeps me locked down to the city; if i were to ever thinking about leaving or going somewhere else, that would also mean considering giving up my place, and noooooooooo no way. if you know anyone who lives in toronto, you've likely heard about how insanely tough it is to find a decently affordable apartment in a good part of the city. i lucked out six years ago, and i intend on riding that goddamn wave until i get to the point where, i dunno, i want to cohabitate with someone again? eh, who knows.
speaking of feeling thankful, i had my employee review a few days ago (have officially been at my job for a year and three months!), and it went swimmingly while also reminding me how lucky i am to work somewhere i like with people i like working with. aside from all the built-in bonuses of being employed - regular pay, health benefits, etc - it just feels good to enjoy what i do with the people i do it with. it's a little thing, but it means a lot.
like, i've been of a mood lately where i'm just really glad that i've got what i've got, you know? there have been periods in my life when i've had so much less than this, or when i haven't been as lucky, and thinking back on those times always gives me perspective on how good i've got it right now.
and look, i dunno. i had a turbulent few months in there, for a while, but i had good friends to rely on and some excellent music to drown myself in, and i did have to put in the work, but things have gotten better and i'm doing alright, for the most part. roll on, rest of the winter.
wrestling t-shirts intact, as always. (another bonus for my workplace is that i wear wrestling t-shirts, like, at least two days a week. i think most people just think they're band t-shirts.)
next week is a short one!: monday is a stat holiday in ontario so i have that off, then i'm working tuesday and wednesday, and then i've booked thursday and friday off because of wrestling, basically. (thursday i'm off to mississauga for nxt, and up early friday morning - and saturday as well - for the combined njpw/roh 2-day ppv special) i can get down with a 2-day work week followed by a shit ton of wrestling, for sure.
alright, i'm out! tell me something fun, and be good.

If your Big Buford isn't big enough, talk to The Boss. Rick Ross, along with his sister Tawanda, just bought his fave restaurant, Checkers in Miami Gardens.
"We're incredibly excited to have Rick Ross and his sister Tawanda join our system. His authentic love of the Checkers brand and his desire to give back to his community, are passions that we, as a company, share. We look forward to many years of partnership and business success with Rick and his family." said Scott Wakeman, Senior Marketing Director at Checkers.
Ross cites the Checkers at 2645 NW 183rd St in Miami Gardens as one of his favorite hometown hangouts and has vibrant memories from the eatery, beginning with his teenage years (the restaurant at this location first opened for business in December, 1989).
"As a rap superstar and business mogul, I am excited to embark on this new partnership with Checkers. I grew up eating checkers in my neighborhood so it brings me great pride to be able to represent the brand and help keep the culture alive. More importantly, I am happy to be able to create jobs and give back to the Carol City community – a community that has been a continuous inspiration in my life and helped mold me into the boss that I am today."
This is not Ross's first rodeo. He has previously invested in Belaire champagne and Wing Stop restaurants.
Ross couldn't wait to bring the partnership to life, and shot a video (password Checkers), all about it.
So, while y'all get fat, Ross's wallet will get fatter. And hopefully that's all that gets bigger. Ross lost 75 pounds after changing his diet and exercise. According to an interview in Men's Health magazine, Ross explains how Checker's fits into that diet, saying, he allows himself the fast food, but only between noon and 5 p.m. and only two or three days a week.

Kratos designed, developed, integrated, tested, delivered and installed the UH-60M Black Hawk Avionics Maintenance Trainer (BHAT) at Ft. Eustis, VA in May of 2010. The full size, high fidelity maintenance trainer provides an environment for training and evaluating utility helicopter service personnel in fault isolation and maintenance of the UH-60M avionics and associated subsystems.
The BHAT is made up of both a Student Station and an Instructor Operator's Station. The Student Station consists of a high fidelity, full size cockpit, cabin area and transition section mounted on a wheeled platform for mobility. The BHAT glass cockpit is also equipped with simulated instruments, pilot and copilot seats and controls, center console and overhead panels. The Instructor's Operating Station consists of a podium style station containing the computer equipment, keyboard and monitors necessary for the instructor to conduct the proper training.
Trainer-unique computing equipment is housed in the fuel cell mock-up and the transition section contains simulated avionics and subsystems, which are accessed through the right side hatch. Also, the transition sidewall is constructed to improve ventilation and to enable easier instructor observation.
The BHAT supports all the critical tasks necessary to train MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) 15N10/30 Avionics Mechanics. This Kratos engineered training device, along with many other Kratos engineered devices, is currently being used to aid in the training of Army maintenance soldiers so they can contribute immediately to the combat readiness of their gaining unit.

Runners often ask how to keep the same pace during a race or how to pace themselves to perform at their highest potential. The best advice, in a nutshell, is to start slow and finish fast, or, in technical terms, negative splits.
To some this doesn't make sense. Why not go out at a sprint and give it your all to gain distance on your competition? Keep reading, and I'll explain.
Negative splits mean that your pace gets quicker throughout a race or run. For instance, if your first mile is 10 minutes, your second mile 9:30, and your third mile 9:00, you've successfully run negative splits. It doesn't matter your experience level or speed — everyone can run negative splits.
Have you ever started full blast at a race only to feel like you're barely hanging on at the halfway point? By starting out more conservatively and slowly quickening the pace throughout the race, you can conserve some energy and finish stronger and faster than you began, rather than slower and more tired than you should be.
First, you want to practice this method in your training. Try to run negative splits in your training runs to get in the mentality of starting slower and finishing faster. You also want to be able to accurately predict your race pace and finish time so that you have a baseline of what pace you should run at the beginning of the race. Sites like McMillanRunning.com give you an estimate race pace predictor based on a training run or other recent race.
BEGINNING OF THE RACE: Start the race about 20-30 seconds slower than the race predictor gives you. For instance, if McMillan says you should be able to run a 5K at a 9:00 pace, start the race at 9:30.
DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE RACE, say mile two of a 5K or mile 8-10 of a half marathon, pick up the pace and run your estimate race pace.
FOR THE LAST PORTION OF THE RACE, give it everything you have left, running below your estimated race pace and finishing faster than you began.
A successful race isn't just about completing the distance, but completing it feeling strong and energized. Running negative splits and being aware of your effort level throughout a race will help you conserve your energy and run smarter and, hopefully, faster.

Adopt a Snowy Owl
The snowy owl is unique in its coloring and appearance. It is a large, heavy owl with a 4 ½ foot wingspan. Although it is not the tallest owl in North America, the snowy owl is the heaviest. It can be almost twice as heavy as the larger great gray owl. Look for snowy owls year round in northern Alaska and during the winter in southern Alaska, New England and states bordering Canada. They like to hunt in open fields, prairies and farms. They can be seen perched on surrounding trees, waiting for prey to make a move. Snowy owls hunt by sight and sound, so even animals crawling through deep snow are fair game for this skilled aerial hunter. Unlike most owl species, snowy owls are just as likely to hunt in the day and night eating small rodents, rabbits, and fish. Habitat loss is one of the biggest threats to the snowy owls survival. Help NWF in its efforts to protect and recover the wild places that sustain wildlife. Adopt a snowy owl today!
