NU Celebrates Senior Day Win Over Illinois
To all you Seniors (both Football and NUMB) - Excellent work! Go forth and do great things!
If you remember, way back in November...
The finished the regular season 9-3 after crushing Illinois 50 - 14. The Illini looked good for the first few minutes, scoring 14 points. Then the roof caved in as the Wildcats scored almost every way imaginable. Looking at the predictions, this game corresponds to "The Good":
The Good:
The Wildcats take to the home field turf for the last time this football season. It is Senior Day for both the football team and NUMB. There is pomp and circumstance in the air. There is also a certain amount of swagger for the Home Team.
On the Visitor side, there is smoldering anger and trepidation. This year's Illini football season was much worse than last year's...and last year's performance got the old football coach fired. The Illini are playing for pride - they want to claim the title of "Illinois' Best Big Ten Football Team". The game against NU is the Illini's bowl game. The Illinois coach is feeling some heat.
The first quarter half has Northwestern running almost at will against the Illini. It looks soul crushing for Illinois. Nonetheless, the Illini continue to play their hearts out. It is a seemingly futile effort.
After the half, it is even more of the same. The Wildcats' second team scores. The third team scores against the Illini. It is ugly. It isn't that Coach Fitz is trying to run up the score - it's just that the Illini are totally awful.
By the end of the game, the Illini are a broken team. Northwestern wins in a blowout: Wildcats 52 - Illini 24. The game isn't even as close as the score would indicate. Senior Day is a huge success. Northwestern awaits their January 1st bowl game draw against the SEC.
The reality wasn't far off the prediction, only real life was even more cruel to the Illini - the Wildcats won 50 - 14. (Note my crocodile tears.) Bo Cizek (jersey #1 - a reserve lineman) actually got to play running back at one point. He fumbled near the Illinois goal line, but the Wildcat D came up with a Safety soon afterwards. That's how it rained that day.
The Bowl Game
Yep - an SEC draw: Mississippi State in the Gator Bowl. More later.
More later...
Go Cats!

Gibson On the Rocks
"We're glad that he owned up that what he said was not only offensive, but bigoted. When he's finished with alcohol rehabilitation, we will be ready and willing to meet with him and to help him get rid of his other addiction, which is prejudice." Abraham H. Foxman, national director, Anti-Defamation League
Nice sentiment. But I don't think there is a real cure for prejudice. Not the kind learned at the knee of the worst kind of anti-Semite -- a Holocaust denier. Not for a 50-year old Catholic who hit the bigotry jackpot with an anti-Semitic movie cloaked in religious zeal. And not for a man whose hubris is so great he created his own personal church.
Mel The Divine--the man who said, "I own Malibu" is not sincere about changing his ways, he's just playing the self-blame game like a pro.
I called it. Rehab. Another apology. "I want to apologize specifically to everyone in the Jewish community for the vitriolic and harmful words that I said to a law enforcement officer the night I was arrested." It's not about your words, Mel, it's about your attitudes. Really, really bad attitudes.
Granted, I didn't predict Mel would ask to meet with Jewish leaders, but hey, I've been out of the high stakes PR biz a while.
Mel said, "I'm not just asking for forgiveness. I would like to take it one step further, and meet with leaders in the Jewish community, with whom I can have a one-on-one discussion to discern the appropriate path for healing."
Can you say, Nuclear Damage Control? Wow. The only problem with that kind of spin is that it's so obviously Spin. And the only healing he's after is for his career, not his conscience.
Think about it. He's been here before. There was enormous controversy among the International Jewish community over The Passion of the Christ. There are a lot Jewish bigwigs in Hollywood. Did Mel reach out to Jews back then? Ask for cross cultural understanding?
No. He didn't have to, the movie was a blockbuster, even if it busted on Jews. And the Christians were happy. Which in America means everything. Especially to Mel.
But now the guy's in real trouble. He doesn't get to cloak his bigotry in the First Amendment. Or call it Art. It spewed out of him like hot lava, in living color and on tape, in the Real World. Vicious, bigoted, in-your-face personalized garbage. Nothing artful about that.
And now his career is on the line. Not to mention... can you say lawsuit? That cop he assaulted with his anti-Semitic tirade is in fact Jewish.
The bitter icing on this rancid cake? Movie star endorsements of Mel's sterling character. Which burns me, but good. Is this guy so powerful he can scare the likes of Jodie Foster into defending him?
She's supposed to be one of the good guys. She went to Yale, for crying out loud. But it appears that venerable institution taught her nothing about the insidious danger of bigotry. Just about the power of money.
Oy, vey is meir. Oh, woe is me (and us). The barbarians are at the gates. And the price of entry seems to be a pot of gold.
It should tarnish and rot in the hands of anyone who would support and defend Mel Gibson.

It may take fans of the late, great Richard Pryor a while to get used to the idea of him being played by the star of White Chicks and Little Man, but Marlon Wayans himself is clearly excited about jumping into the role when director Bill Condon starts filming Richard Pryor: Is It Something I Said? this fall.
"This is like an invitation to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro for me, and I've never been more excited in my life than when I got the role," he said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. "I want to be in dramas, I want to produce, I want to write and I want to prove I can handle a role such as this one."
Smirk about all that if you want to, but along with the movies that have made he and his brethren very rich guys, Wayans has at least two performances in his career that show why I think he can handle this and nail it. First, go back and watch the Coen brothers' remake of Ladykillers, in which he was easily the funniest guy ("you brought your bitch to the Waffle Hut?") And, even better, think all the way back to Darren Aronofsky's Requiem for a Dream, in which he held his own with the likes of Jennifer Connelly and Ellyn Burstyn and showed some genuine dramatic chops.
Hit the jump to hear more of what Wayans and a producer of Richard Pryor: Is It Something I Said? had to say about the upcoming flick.
Say what you want to about the Wayans brothers' extremely successful but equally silly movies, but of the brood, Marlon Wayans at least isn't making any apologies for getting paid.
"Look, I want to be able to make the stupidest movies ever, because they make people laugh and they make money," Wayans said. "But that's not all I want to do. And I think I've proven to some people — the ones paying attention — that I can do more. Everybody else, well, they can wait and see and make up their mind."
As far as the role of Richard Pryor, Wayans landed it after Eddie Murphy stepped away from the project due to "creative differences." After that, the film's producers and Condon saw an audition tape of Wayans doing some Pryor routines and were apparently impressed. Here's what Richard Pryor: Is It Something I Said? producer Mark Gordon said about what Wayans brings to the role:
"Obviously there are a number of requirements to playing Richard Pryor — you have to be funny, of course, but this role also has so many colors to it that you need to be a strong actor who can handle the dramatic scenes," Gordon said. "There were discussions with Eddie Murphy . . . Eddie Murphy is a great star, and I have no doubt he would be a great Richard Pryor. But Eddie Murphy is Eddie Murphy in the eyes of the audience. Marlon Wayans is a great actor and will be a great Richard Pryor, but he brings less baggage."
I have to say I couldn't agree more about that last point. If you watch Eddie Murphy doing comedy, no matter who he's supposed to be playing, he's still Eddie Murphy. Bringing in someone with the creative energy of Wayans seems like a solid choice to me, and I think Condon will deliver a real winner here.
And as far as how much respect Wayans has for Pryor himself, these last two quotes just sum it up perfectly.
"My brothers would react and laugh and imitate Richard and debate it and play it over and over, and that's how he came to me," Wayans said. "Richard Pryor meant so much to black people. Bill Cosby was like Martin Luther King but Pryor, he was like Malcolm X."
And on what Pryor might think:
"I think he would smile. And most of all, I hope, wherever he is up there, he laughs when he sees the movie."
Here's hoping we all will too, and I'm thinking that now at least all signs point to yes. What say you?

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea — Shaun White, the snowboarding legend, looked to be in top form, scoring the best run of qualifying in the halfpipe event on Tuesday.
White was the 2006 and 2010 halfpipe winner, but a disappointing fourth four years ago.
White, 31, scored a 93.25 on his first qualifying run, best of the field, virtually clinching qualification for the final.
"Oddly enough, I was a little nervous," White said. "There's such a build-up to get to the Olympics. People forget you have to qualify. I still had to put that run down. So that took the pressure and the edge off."
White's run included a frontside double cork 1080 and a double mctwist 1260.
But two other boarders from a younger generation surpassed him in their second runs. Ayumu Hirano of Japan, 19, who many consider the most dangerous opponent for White, had a best score of 95.25. Hirano is noted for being the first man to land back-to-back 1440s. Then Scotty James of Australia, 23, the two-time world champion who has said the judges unduly favor White, put up a 96.75.
While White was already safely in Wednesday's final, he did not play it safe on his second run, topping both Harano and James with a near-perfect 98.50. He got three 99s and three 98s from the six judges.
The run included a frost side 1080 double cork, a double mctwist 1260 and a frontside double cork 1260.
"I started seeing everybody putting together these great runs and I figured I would just kind of step it up and it motivated me to send it on that last one," White said.
The top 12 boarders made the final. They included the Americans Ben Ferguson, Chase Josey and Jake Pates. The scores will reset to zero for the final, which has the potential to be a pulsating battle between White and the young pretenders James and Hirano.
"Honestly, Ayumu, I've watched him since he was 13 years old," White said. "He was in a tough position like I was as a kid where you have a lot of pressure to be the next big, great thing in the sport. They were saying that to him – that he would be the next Shaun White – as a small kid. That's a lot of pressure, a lot to live up to. I'm sitting there like what do you mean? I'm still here."
The United States has won 14 medals in men's snowboard, most of any country.
White became the face — and hair — of snowboarding as the sport first established itself. His long red locks earned him the nickname the Flying Tomato. He is now sporting a neatly trimmed look.
On an incongruous note, Tit Stante, a Slovenian who did not qualify, held up his board after his run to reveal a message: "Free Meek Mill," a reference to the American rapper who is serving time for probation violations.

Someday, I will get enough time to transfer the diary entries to the blog, but here is a blurb from my "summary thoughts" on the last day of the trip with the photos. Breathtaking mountains, amazing food and such warm people.
"First time in Nepal, but I have a feeling it won't be the last time. It is still very much a developing country, and seeing the effects of the earthquakes was heartbreaking, but the people's hearts, smiles and eyes are so warm.
I got such a genuine impression from the Nepali people. Looking straight into one's eyes when you talk… doing what you can the best you can and with full effort…accepting nature, as is… not to hurry… being kind to people… All these things that seem easy but are difficult to keep doing, Nepali people do without any hesitations, even to strangers. It doesn't matter if a person has money or not, status or not, it's about one human being caring for another human being.
You can always "treat" people- with your heart, your words, and your actions, you can show respect, love and thoughtfulness. I feel so grateful to be reminded of these important things.
I also realised that I think I like experiencing "nothingness" , a sense of not being aware of time, that I get from walking in nature. Something that feels like it has no end (or not knowing when the end is) feels a bit scary, but it may be similar to life itself. And having that awareness I think allows me to have a greater capacity to take whatever that happens in life. Trekking made me realise that as people, we are all alone in the end, and that we need to use our own two feet to move forward…!
Being in Hong Kong, everyday is very much dictated/controlled by keeping time (I know it must be the nature of my profession too), but in the natural, original sense of life of nature and human beings, time is just something that is, and just passes. But in schools, societies, work places, we cut time up into pieces, whether it's dividing up children to grade levels, or making a timetable… Making nature unnatural, feels so unreasonable. The trip made me realise how much I value "unmeasured" time- I want to be conscious of it more, in the classroom and outside, where I do have some control."
Special thanks to my two travel musketeers, Adriana and Aaron- you guys have expanded my way of seeing and traveling the world. With you, I have experienced and tried things I never even imagined or had courage to before, and it's been so cool to know I can actually do these things… when you have friends that make you feel safe, things are not so scary anymore.
A more detailed account to be followed...

We told a few weeks ago that Robert Rodriguez was eyeing a pretty wild collection of big-name actors for his upcoming feature-length adaptation of Machete, the faux-trailer that played before Grindhouse.
Some of the names we mentioned included Robert De Niro, Steven Seagal, Michelle Rodriguez and even Lindsay Lohan.
Well, I can tell you now that every single one of those names mentioned above have been confirmed for Machete, alongside some equally mind-blowing names you'll have to read to believe!Jessica Alba, Cheech Marin, Don Johnson and Jeff Fahey - ever heard of them?
Ok, so maybe not Fahey: he plays "Frank" that mysterious (and cool-as-a-cucumber) pilot who flew back and forth and back again to the island during seasons 4 and 5 of Lost.
The rest of the cast I assume you recognize.
Actor Danny Trejo will reprise his titular role as a decent man who becomes "A Brutal Savage Who Must Slaughter To Stay Alive." All I know is that the trailers and promo posters better retain the now-famous line from the faux Machete trailer, "They just f*#$ed with the wrong Mexican!" Priceless.
Dude... Machete... Who would've guessed?
You can bet that, even as we speak, all the people who previously wrote this movie off as one last dropping from the crap-show that was (for them) Grindhouse are all of sudden sitting up in their chairs and taking wide-eyed notice of this film. Never underestimate El Rodriguez, man. The guy has a lot of friends and a lot of Hollywood pull, obviously...
Machete is aiming for a 2010 release date. It will be co-directed by Robert Rodriguez and his protegé, Ethan Maniquis.

GastroHep news
Volume 1, Issue 4
Top News
The new editors of Gastroenterology discuss their philosophy and plans for the next 5 Years
This is the first time that Gastroenterology has had both an editor-in-chief (Rick Peek) and deputy editor-in-chief (Doug Corely). The AGA and editors are very excited about this collaboration and the enhancements it will bring to the Journal.
Full interview:
VideoGIE: A Rich Resource for Endoscopic Videos
The ASGE's new open access, online-only journal VideoGIE provides a space for a wide range of video-based case reports. In addition to publishing novel video articles, VideoGIE aims to create an educational endoscopic library that will guide endoscopists throughout the world in the study, diagnosis, and treatment of digestive diseases. This extensive library of videos will be a rich resource for all involved in the practice of endoscopy including endoscopists in training, general endoscopists, advanced endoscopists, endoscopy staff and industry, and patients. Read the latest issue and articles in press or submit your video article online.
Featured Content
"Best Of" Series
In three articles, GIE: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy presents the best articles published across all GI journals in 2015 and 2016. Fouad Otaki and Prasad G. Iyer discuss "Best of foregut: esophagus, stomach, and duodenum," Douglas G. Adler covers "Best of pancreaticobiliary endoscopy," and Amit Rastogi and Sachin Wani present "Best of colonoscopy." These articles are a comprehensive look at the top papers published in each area over the past two years. See all three in the January 2017 issue of GIE and online early in GIE's Articles in Press:
Prevention of recurrence of Crohn's disease after resection
Many patients with Crohn's disease require a major abdominal resection at some point during their disease course; however, recurrence after surgery is common. Therefore, strategies to prevent or delay post-operative recurrence are clinically important. In the December issue of The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Craig Mowat and colleagues present the results of the TOPPIC trial, the largest randomised trial to date of thiopurines for the prevention of post-operative recurrence of Crohn's disease.
Understanding peak transaminases post hepatic resection
Measuring liver function tests is a routine part of the post-operative pathway for most patients undergoing hepatic resection, but what are we looking for? Traditional methods of identifying post-operative liver failure have been associated with the INR and bilirubin at 5 days. The significance of changes in transaminases have remained elusive with conflicting reports of its significance and etiology. In the November Issue of HPB, Olthof and colleagues produce a very detailed analysis of the significance of the rise in post-operative transaminases. The dataset consists of over 500 patients undergoing liver resection.
Clinical use of sofosbuvir in a case of HEV infection
In vitro studies have shown that sofosbuvir has an effect on hepatitis E virus infections. Now for the first time a case is reported in the Journal of Hepatology where sofosbuvir is effective in a patient. Marc van der Valk and his colleagues first tried to suppress the virus with ribavirin. Due to hematologic toxicity, the ribavirin dose needed to be reduced and sofosbuvir was added. This proved very succesful. Though the effect didn't last after the sofosbuvir regimes was stopped it does raise the question whether higher dosage, might have a more lasting effect.
Requirement of Gαq/Gα11 Signaling in the Preservation of Mouse Intestinal Epithelial Homeostasis
Gut hormones are important in coordinated actions of intestine and they exert actions through G-protein–coupled receptors. We show that Gαq/11-mediated signaling plays a pivotal role in the maturation and positioning of Paneth cells and in the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis.
Measuring of pain in chronic pancreatitis
Chronic abdominal pain is a frequent symptom of chronic pancreatitis (CP). International guidelines have identified the lack of a standardized assessment of pain in CP. John Windsor and his group investigated the various method of pain assessment in this systematic review. Both CP specific and generic pain assessment tools were found. This study, published in Pancreatology, highlights clearly that a unified approach is lacking and helps in identifying the more successful tools in use today.
The tuberculin skin test still matters
Treating patients with anti-tumour necrosis factor α (anti-TNFα) increases the risk of tuberculosis. Testing patients is therefore important. This study by Cândida Abreu and colleagues investigated the relative merit of the Tuberculin Skin test (TST) and Quantiferon-TB Gold in Tube (QFT-GIT). A cohort of 250 patients with IBD was followed. The authors report in Digestive and Liver Disease that TST has a signifcantly higher sensitivity and should therefore be considered the test of choice.
Special Issues
Complications in gastrointestinal endoscopy
Though a minimal invasive technique, endoscopy is not without it's risks. As endoscopy is now used for interventions beside the purely diagnostics techniques complications are on the rise. It is important to be aware of this and be prepared for such eventualities. Best Practice & Research: Clinical Gastroenterology presents a special issue dedicated to the topic. Every major complication is covered from the perspectives of epidemiology, risk factors and preventive measures. Combined these reviews present a must-read collection that will improve the success rates in clinical practice.

I don't know what all you MLP fans will think of this lesson on how to draw Spike as a pony because I'm not sure that I captured his spikyness. Anyways, I only made this lesson because my little sister said that I should make a tutorial on Spike as a pony. This ones for you Danielle so I hope you enjoy this tutorial. The only things she didn't like is how skinny he is, and she said that his cutie mark should have been a scroll because he spits out scrolls with fire. Do you share her same idea? If so let me know. Adios folks and enjoy this lesson.

Is your family lacking some fun quality time together? Many American families today rarely see each other often, let alone come together for some fun family time. Sometimes you just need a push in the right direction to plan, so here are some ideas to help get you started.
1.A trip to the zoo. There is nothing more fun than to spend a day at the zoo with your family. Besides watching all the exotic animals, most zoos now have fun rides for the family to enjoy as well. If you're strapped for extra money, pack a picnic for everyone instead of buying the high-priced snacks from vendors inside the zoo. Be sure to buy disposable cameras for the kids to take pictures, too.
2.Take a picnic lunch to the park. Even if you aren't an outdoorsy family, a picnic at the park is still something that you can enjoy. Bring along a horseshoe or crochet game for the family to play together after eating. Later, after the whole family has their fun time together, the kids can play on the playground equipment while Mom and Dad relax on the blanket with a good book or conversation.
3. Visit Washington D.C. If you are so inclined to plan a fun family vacation together, visiting the nation's capital is one fun way to vacation with your family. You'll be able to tour lots of interesting historical places and learn a lot about this nation's history. While experiencing a fabulous hands-on history lesson, your family will have loads of fun and learn a lot.
4.Plan a scavenger hunt. Kids especially love treasure hunts. Plan a fun day of hunting for treasure with your family. Your children can be "in charge" while the parents "chauffeur" them around while they control the treasure map. Make fun pit stops along the way for ice cream or snowballs.
5.Make a family movie together. Another thing kids love to do is watch themselves on video. This time, put your children in charge of the camera and let them make a home video of family time. You could even encourage them to write their own scripts and have the whole family participate in creating a mini movie.
6.Have a "Beautiful Yard" day with your family. Recruit everyone in the family to pitch in with some yard work. Younger children can help with planting flower seeds, while the older kids help mow the lawn and rake leaves. At the end of the day when the yard looks beautiful, have a huge backyard bar-b-q to celebrate the day's work.
7.Read together. Families with younger children often read to them at bedtime. But once the kids start getting older, those routines are forgotten about. Instill a love of literature in your children by continuing this tradition, even when they are pre-teens and teens by having a family reading night at least once a week. Gather the entire family for a reading from a selected piece of literature or a favorite book. Have everyone take turns reading a few pages, or an entire chapter each.

Great ideas, would have to adapt a couple as I live in the UK but still makes you think about places and activities around you.
Love. Family is the greatest earthly thing I know, and I really don't think that can be debated unless a person knows what a truly great family is. My mother told us stories more than she read us stories, and I think it made all of more imaginative. I'd leave "beautiful yard" day to my brothers...I'm not falling for that one. My friend's dad was big into scavenger hunts, and though I resisted at first it was just so much fun.
Help!!! I need ideas on what to do with disabled Apartment Residents that the office can put together (inexpensively) something that can get them together and having fun.
This is a great site! Thanks!!!
I wish my family did this stuff together. My parents never do anything with me......
stumbled upon this gem . lovely hub and yes reading together forms bonds that last a lifetime.
when my kids were at school all of us used to enjoy doing their school projects together.
playing board games is another thing. just last weekend my daughter who is getting married this year brought out a board game we had played with her as kids and two people in their fifties and a girl 25 howled with joy for an hourr
Hey, this are really some awesome ideas to do with your family! I would love to try it out with mine too, thakns for the great ideas.
you and your family should go to the zoo and have kite time and picnics
Thx a lot every since my papa died we haven't been doing fun things but we can! :D
DC is on my list - especially with the snow still coming down and looking forward to Cherry Blossoms.
Ask the friends to join in on the fun! Your kids will remember you as the "house the friends spent time at." This way, as they get older, maybe instead of them disappearing to other peoples houses, (where you don't know what they are doing) they will invite the friends over. If the friends don't want to join in on the fun, tell them to leave and your kids can play with them later. Family time is sacred.
Love the tips, Hope!
those are all great ideas!! we did the gardening one the other day. we want to have more family time together, but all their friends call at that moment.we say no but then , there friends come over anyway. do you have any suggestions?
i love the 7 ways to spend time with ur family
good list of stuff - I'd choose bike rides and swimming for us!
I really like that these family fun ideas don't require lots of money.
As a UK resident there are a couple of things we can't do! Not on a day trip anyway. We try to spend as much time together as a family, something many people seem to forget these day. Am looking forward to doing a little Easter Egg hunt for my eldest (30 months) in our garden. I've also started collecting natural things from our walks - feathers, pine cones, twigs etc - that we can collage when the weather is bad. Some great suggestions for proper families.
I am a firm believer that time invested in the family will yield great returns. I love to spend time with my family and hope to be able to do it forever! Thanks for the fun suggestions.
Hi Hope, I really like your hub. The beautiful yard one is great. This is good family-value stuff that we forget. Please see my site also for another take on family time.
Looking forward to more from you.
Reading together, hunting together, picnic together......together. We need more reminders like this. I like the zoo idea and I would say even if you can afford to buy lunch take a picnic anyway. Just something real nice about eating home packed anything together. Thank you Hope.

So tomorrow is the day that I cook my Christmas Turkey (and I will prepare some of the vegetables for our big Christmas meal too) and this is the last idea that I had about what to do with Christmas Leftovers and it was something which I am sure we all wonder about, but aren't sure how to do safely. I decided that what we should do with our overly large Turkey was to freeze the Leftovers in portions suitable for what they were being used for and for my family.
The best time to freeze the Turkey is on the day it is cooked. In other words, once you have carved up your Turkey for use on Christmas Day spend a few minutes more carving up the rest. You can leave some in the fridge for use in the next couple of days (There is nothing like picking at Leftovers right?) but the rest should be portioned up and then wrapped or put into containers as quickly as possible.
I like to freeze mine in different sorts of portions. There is always a lot of meat left over that can be used in Sandwiches and so I freeze enough to make a round of sandwiches for my family (with a little spare for an extra sandwich as I know what Daddy is like!). I put stickers on my food with the date the food was cooked and frozen and the date a detail of what the food in the container is. I will also freeze a potion to make into Turkey Pie, Turkey Curry or Turkey Salad! If it has been a very large Turkey then I will freeze more than one potion but they will all have the right labels on so that I don't have to defrost more than is needed for one meal!
I hope that no matter what you do with your Christmas Leftovers, that you have a great time and enjoy the great food that you have cooked!

Travel Team
If you'd like to chat about this vacation or need help finding one we're very happy to help. The Travel Team.Toll free 1-866-821-6866 Calling from outside the US? email@example.com
The leaders are not guides theyre not there to shepherd you around. Instead, theyll let you know which local restaurant serves great value food without running the risk of travelers tummy. Theyll allow you to avoid hour-long queues at train stations and attractions.
We like to think of small group travel as the Goldilocks option. It is independent travel without the fuss, worry and bunk beds and organised travel without the coaches. And its cheaper than a tailor made tour. Its sits somewhere in the middle and we think its just about right.
Have big, life-enriching experiences that would be impossible to organise without lots of time and insider knowledge.
Make the most of your vacation time by letting someone else do the hard work and boring logistics!
Peace of mind
Small group tours take care of the security aspects and provide a safety net should anything unexpected happen.
If you dont have three months to spend exploring, small groups trips let you cover more ground in less time. Your days are not spent queuing for tickets or finding hotels so you can squeeze more into your vacation.
Solo travelers whod like company
Likeminded travel companions plus peace of mind for those traveling alone. Single supplements are usually available providing privacy if you want it.
Less confident travelers
Stray from the tourist trail without worrying about getting lost, and meet local people without dealing with the language barrier.
Couples and friends have private rooms, and you can choose to eat alone or not. Single supplements give solo travelers their own room.
There wont be any free time
Free mornings or afternoons let you explore on your own, or just relax.
The accommodation will be basic
Trips are as high or low end as you like. Though off the beaten track destinations wont have luxury hotels, this is all part of the adventure.
I wont like the other travelers!
Tour operators try to create groups with a similar demographic age, families, activity levels... Chances are, youll even make new friends.
Will we be following an umbrella?
Responsible tourism
Kalahari desert expedition safari, Botswana
Carbon reduction
Your vacation will help support local people and conservation. We must also reduce CO2. Learn about the CO2 emissions of this vacation and how to reduce them.
Low Impact tourism:
- Camping safaris mean that the environmental impact of your visit is a bare minimum. We stay in designated campsites, and we leave each campsite in the same pristine condition when we leave. Camping safaris leave a very small footprint
- Cooking on gas when feasible so that we dont have to burn firewood which depletes limited resources (particularly in desert environments Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Nxai Pan National Park & Makgadikgadi Pans National Park),
- Requesting clients to purchase small wooden carvings curio instead of large pieces, again to conserve the forests around the carving markets.
- Ensuring that we take all of our rubbish out of wilderness areas and use proper waste disposal facilities on all tours (and in the workshop). Entrance Fees: All entrance fees for the National Parks are used by the Botswana of Wildlife to maintain the condition and infrastructure of the National Parks, and run regular anti-poaching patrols.
As it is such a unique National Park all of the clients who join us on this trip are giving a full briefing of the fragility of the environment. Litter is strictly policed, the potential of creating wildfires is great, so the group is briefed on smoking restriction, etiquette within campsite, wise use of water in a very dry environment, and how to behave with the wildlife. All camps are un-fenced, so the potential is there for the wildlife to come into camp. The tour leaders are very experienced in dealing with such situations. Clients are advised to stay calm, listen to the tour leaders instructions, and never put the wild animal in a situation where they feel threatened which may illicit a fight or flight reaction. The tour leaders always teach the clients to allow the wildlife to have right of way so that no incidents occur. If an incident does happen the animal will have to be destroyed. Protecting the natural habits of the wildlife is of utmost importance, so client are told not to feed animals or leave food in a place where wild animals might feel tempted to eat it.
We travel through wild areas and stay in un-fenced campsites, the tour leaders make clients aware that animals have right of way, and that as visitors to the area we must not affect the animals in any way. By building a healthy respect for wildlife within the people who visit the area, the impact of people in this area, and on the wildlife is hugely minimized. Due to careful management of the wildlife in the area, and how people interact with the wildlife, the animals no longer see man as a threat, and are often curious to see these strange 2 legged creatures, instead of fearing them. A huge part of the tour leaders mandate is to ensure that clients respect the wildlife and eco-system and to be aware that they are only visitors to the area, and should feel extremely privileged to be able to visit the area, with local guides who know the environment intimately.
Food: All food and drink on tour are bought in local grocery stores which creates economic activity directly from tourism.
Charities: When in Maun we visit Sibandas Fine Art Fabrics. This is a local community initiative to employ local women who produce hand crafted fabrics. This is a non-profit organisation, and all visits from our groups generate some revenue for the charity and if any clients buy some of the products, it ensures that the charity remains self sufficient.
Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre: We assist a wildlife rehabilitation center in Springs, outside Johannesburg. Judy Davidson runs a licensed rehab center from a small holding. She is an amazing person, dedicating her life to the welfare of animals and makes enormous personal sacrifices to live on this plot and care for sick and injured birds. A variety of birds are cared for, from injured barbets, doves, and crows to a brown snake eagle, a gymnogene, and a spotted eagle owl. All birds are treated in a small makeshift clinic, and then kept in aviaries until they have recovered. Once able to fly, or care for themselves again, they are moved to a 'flight' aviary, for a period until they have regained strength. They are then released back into the wild. Those birds which are unable to be released are kept in large aviaries and fed through various donations. We assist the project with donations of practical equipment including shade netting, paint, etc. These are used to repair and maintain several of the existing aviaries.

2016 WALT Clos Pepe Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir - Clos Pepe Vineyard
Critic Review
"From a great site on the southern side of the Sta. Rita Hills, the 2016 Pinot Noir Clos Pepe has a great perfume of sweet red fruits, toasted spices, menthol, and candied orange peel. Complex, medium to full-bodied, and concentrated, yet always with a sense of elegance, drink it any time over the coming decade."
92 Points | Wine Spectator, Kim Marcus
"Powerfully structured, with concentrated dark plum, mulled cherry and dried berry flavors that are supported by firm acidity and fresh tannins. Cedar and spice notes show on the finish..."
Central Coast AVA
Roughly 250 miles along the coastline of California
from Santa Barbara County to San Francisco County
Sta. Rita Hills
Follows a clearly defined maritime "throat" that
ushers in the Pacific fog and constant cooling breezes.
Sandy Loam Soils
Cause vines to produce grapes with powerful varietal
Dark garnet in color, the 2016 Clos Pepe has bright cherry aromas, with a hint of darker berry fruit. There is well integrated oak - just subtly spicy and warm, but not overwhelming the vineyard character. The palate opens up beautifully and is full and lush with bright minerality on the finish - a distinguishing characteristic of the Clos Pepe site.
Bright Cherry
Berry Fruit
Subtly Spicy
The iconic Clos Pepe vineyard is situated in a cool enclave within the Sta. Rita Hills. The prevailing winds coming from the Pacific slow the ripening of these vines, allowing for saturated flavors to accumulate throughout the decidedly long growing season.

Dividends and Profits: Some Unsubtle Foreign Influences
James R. Hines Jr.
NBER Working Paper No. 3730 (Also Reprint No. r2068)
American corporations earn a large and growing share of their profits from their foreign operations. This paper evaluates the effect of foreign earnings on dividend payments by American corporations. The results suggest that the effect may be rather dramatic: that, all other things equal, U.S. corporations pay dividends out of foreign earnings at rates that are three times higher than their payout rates from domestic earnings. Why firms do so is unclear, though this behavior may be consistent with a signaling view of dividends. There is a curious tax consequence of this high payout rate on foreign earnings: the tax system, which grants foreign tax credits to U.S. corporations for the foreign taxes they pay, may receive more revenue from taxing the dividends of U.S. shareholders than from the corporate tax on foreign earnings.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A former bodyguard for Britney Spears filed a sexual harassment lawsuit on Wednesday accusing the pop star of repeatedly parading herself around in the nude and having sex in front of him.
Fernando Flores also accused Spears, 28, of causing him emotional distress by having violent quarrels with her boyfriend in front of her two children, and swearing at him to fetch her beverages.
The singer's lawyer on Wednesday declined to comment on the lawsuit.
According to the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Flores began working for Spears in February 2010. He alleges that the "Circus" singer made repeated, unwanted sexual advances, summoned him to her room to expose her naked body, and "engaged in numerous sex acts" in front of him.
Celebrity website TMZ.com reported that in one alleged incident, Spears was wearing a white lace see-through dress when she intentionally dropped an object on the floor close to Flores and bent over to pick it up.
Flores also accuses his security firm employers of ignoring or mocking his complaints over the alleged actions by Spears. He is seeking unspecified damages for sexual harassment and emotional distress.
Spears became a worldwide phenomenon 10 years ago with hits like "Oops...I Did It Again" but has adopted a much lower public profile since undergoing a highly-publicized career and personal meltdown in 2007 and 2008.
After a successful world tour in 2009, she lives near Los Angeles and has filmed a cameo role in an upcoming episode of the popular TV musical comedy "Glee", which will be devoted entirely to her music.

Hebrew University Loses Einstein Image Rights
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem has lost the right for exclusive and commercial use of Albert Einstein's image.
The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California ruled against the university and in favor of General Motors LLC in the copyright infringement lawsuit. The case involved a GM advertisement for a 2010 Terrain Vehicle which featured Einstein's face attached to a ripped, shirtless torso with an e=mc2 tattoo on his shoulder. The ad featured the tagline "Ideas are sexy too."
Hebrew U claimed infringement based on the fact that it has the right of publicity as the beneficiary of Einstein's estate, as written in 1982 in the terms of Einstein's will. However, the court ruled that this right expired in 2005, which marked 50 years since Einstein's death. The maximum duration of 50 years "appropriately reflects the balance between meaningful enforcement… and the public's interest in free expression," the court said in a statement, according to Globes.

Lately, I've been making a lot of collard green or Swiss chard wraps. This isn't totally out of the ordinary, as raw wraps are one of my favorite dishes. But the frequency has been notable lately, and that's because of the changes associated with student life. Being in school again means finding more options for eating on the go, and wraps make that really easy: they're neat, portable, and a reliable way to get greens and veggies in without salads, which can be messy to pack up. As you can see, I can't get enough of them these days:
Of course, collard green (or any green) wraps are only useful when they don't fall apart, and they're a little tricky to get right at first. A few of you have been asking me about how I get mine to stay neatly together, so today I figured I'd pause to give you all a little tutorial. Don't worry: I promise this is a lot easier than my physics homework.
Step 1: Select a Good Leaf
You don't want a massive leaf, because you'll end up with too much of it to eat (and raw collards, when we're not enjoying them with a tasty filling, are pretty strong). Choose a flat, even, medium sized leaf, like this one:
Step 2: De-Stem
Flip the leaf over so that the side with the prominent spine is facing up. Using a paring knife, cafefully start to shave off the spine, starting near the bottom, where it begins to protrude most:
Careful as you do this: you don't want to cut so deep that you actually cut through the leaf! Just follow carefully along the spine, slicing away only the thick part of it.
Step 3: Flip the Leaf
…so that the side you didn't cut is facing up.
Step 4: Place a Vertical Column of Filler on One Side of the Leaf's Center
Like so:
I use hummus, nut pates, sauces, mashed potatoes, and all sorts of fillings! Get creative. I used my new favorite hummus—sweet potato hummus—here. (That recipe's coming atcha soon!) I usually find that 1/4 of a cup is the right amount per leaf.
If I'm using a nut pate that I know is very calorically dense, I may use only 2-3 tbsp instead.
Step 5: Pile Veggies Atop Filling
I always have my sliced veggies laid out neatly before I assemble, like so:
And then I lie them vertically on top of the filling:
Step 6: Fold the Top and Bottom Flaps of the Collard Leaf Toward the Center
Like so:
Step 7: Fold the Side Closer to the Filling Over the Filling
Step 8: Starting with the Folded Side, Roll the Leaf Up
You'll be rolling from the folded side to the unfolded side, right to left or left to right (I almost just said "along the x-axis." YIKES.)
In this case, I rolled from right to left. And voila!
A neat, perfect little wrap. Slice it on a diagonal:
And serve, or wrap tightly in foil, saran, or cloth to pack up for lunch or dinner on the go.
Last night, I served my rolls with some leftover pressure cooker stew (that recipe will go up tomorrow) and some leftover crudites. Simple, semi-raw, and delicious:
Hope this settles the mystery, guys! It's really not hard at all: just requires a little paint-by-numbers 🙂
If you're suddenly motivated to try a leafy green wrap, let me know what you make! I'll be back tomorrow with a 15 minute stew recipe and a recap of an important community service event. Stay warm!

Pokemon Go has surprisingly complex mechanics that are not explained officially, but discovered by Pokemon Go nerds.
The interest in Pokemon Go has certainly slowed down, but there are still a huge community playing the game. There is more to the eye than catching Pokemon, hatching eggs and Gym battles. Trainers can go down the rabbit hole and try to understand the Pokemon Go in game mechanics. There is the aspect of where which Pokemon spawn. The Silph Road Nest Atlas is at the core of this research area.
Then there is a whole science around Gym battles. The recently discovered Bubblestrat method is an example of a complex procedure with a huge up side. With Bubblestrat, trainers can get a Gym to level 10 and earn 1.5 million XP per day holding it. GamePress' Pokemon Go resource has the details on which Pokemon with which IV levels can be used for Bubblestrat.
A new Pokemon Go app release is expected to be released today or tomorrow with a new cool feature. Pokemon Buddy will be the biggest update after the appraisal feature. Most trainers though still wait for the nearby Pokemon tracker feature.
Lastly there is the Pokemon Go Capture Rate. When you try to capture a wild Pokemon, you can do some math to increase your chances in capturing it. Knowing the capture rate helps you pick the right PokeBall and if you should use a raspberry or not. The color of the ring when you target a Pokemon is actually an indicator for capture rate.
Trainer Tips has just released a tutorial video on Pokemon Go Capture rate. As always Nick is explaining this aspect of Pokemon Go in an easy to understand way. The video also includes a police raid, but really it is mostly about Pokemon Go Capture rate.
Besides obvious health benefits, Pokemon Go is great for your math skills, if you want to go there.
The Pokemon Go Plus wearable requires a tracker functionality to work. The device is supposed to ship by the end of September according to Nintendo. The first stores have started to take Pokemon Go Plus pre-orders. See also our Pokemon Go Tracker Round-up and our new list of Pokemon Go trackers that are safe to use.

Fabulous critical talk on MOOCs by Janesh Sanzgiri. In 2013 MOOCs were suggested as the silicon valley salvation of education, including the developing world. But the reality is that most MOOC participants are not the underprivileged class, not really open anymore (movement to pay for assessment and so on). More importantly the current research is heavily skewed to Northern regions. The voice of the global south is being missed in research.
In India MOOCs are used by 15% of Indian learners, MOOCs provided by North.
NPTEL (http://nptel.ac.in/ )was first an OER platform. In India the most privileged universities put their content online in 2006, mostly stem and technology courses. Another Indian platform is SWAYAM (https://swayam.gov.in/Home ) a government initiative to support the remote universities with MOOCs for credit. In india lack of infrastructure, lack of university systems to cope with the demand for educators. Looking at MOOCs is a way to look at high quality formal education beyond the high brow universities, who do not have access to many high quality professors and institutes. Challenges for accreditation, up to 20% of all the credits can be done via SWAYAM. The western elite institutions create content for the global south. But the fact that many countries are providing MOOCs to create solutions within their country and educational challenges.
Digital literacies and skills are needed for lower economic learners of these countries. Despite the increase of MOOCs, the South will work out solutions with supply and demand of MOOCs. MOOCs are not solving the poor and down trotted, therefor there is still the lowest layer of socio-economic society that is not reached, although more people are reached.
Question why a lack of voices from the South? Answer: combination of issues, academic system in India is different, and journal issues (many Indian journals, but not always meeting the mark), global cohort is difficult to make transparent in terms of data, Indian MOOCs do not have access to the costly learning analytic options the North has.

My Toughest Workout: Olympic Triple Jumper Christian Taylor
Though he's also a top-notch competitor in the long jump and 400-meter relay, Christian Taylor narrowed his goals: Now he wants to beat the world record in the triple jump.
"Coach says it's better to exceed in one than to be average in several," he says.
And that the Fayatteville, Ga. native has. Taylor's personal best, 17.96, won him gold at the World Championships in South Korea in 2011. Ultimately, he's looking to top the world record, set by Jonathan Edwards at 18.29 in 1995.
He hopes that the Olympic crowds will help get him revved.
"That's my fuel, my energy source," he explains. "I'm a big believer in feeding off the energy of the people around you."
The other thing that will help him fly? A 2-minute drill that he likes to do with Will Claye, a former teammate of Taylor's at the University of Florida who will also be representing the U.S. in London.
The drill is a series of jumps that tests consistency, stamina and mental toughness. The goal is to hit the same mark as many times as you can. "It's a really intense workout," Taylor says. "After the first minute, when it really hits you, you are just burnt out."
It's that kind of power that he's used to propel himself to the top.
"I wouldn't call myself a competitor or an athlete if I wasn't trying to be the best, ever," he says. "I feel like I am flying, and I get so excited that I want to come back down and see where I am."
His Workout
The drill is simple, but exhausting. Taylor repeats a triple jump as many times as he can in two minutes. As soon as he hits the sand, he runs back to the starting mark and repeats, trying to hit the same mark each time. He performs two sets (with a 20-minute rest in between, just because it's so rough). In two minutes, he estimates he gets about 20 jumps in.
The jump drill is part of a regimen that includes a lot of technical work, sprinting, and jumping. His warm-up lasts about 45 minutes (little bounds, accelerations, 60-75 meter sprints). Then he goes to the runway for light drills, standing long jumps, alternating bounds, little things to wake up the fast-twitch muscles. That's when he starts going into the different jump drills, like the one above. But he also adds medicine ball drills, as well as weights work.
Do It Yourself
To work on your jumping power, try this jump and sprint workout for mortals. After a 15-minute dynamic warm-up of light running, lunges and squats, head to a track, do a pyramid of sprints: 100m, 200m, 400m, 200m, 100m. Then do a light run for about 10 minutes. Finish with a series of jumps: 5 standing long jumps, 5 vertical jumps, and 5 single-leg jumps on each side. Do the circuit twice if you're feeling good.

Testosterone Injury Claims Move to Multidistrict Litigation
Posted on Monday, June 9th, 2014 at 11:56 am by Williams Hart | Updated: Wednesday, July 11th, 2018 at 3:56 pm
In January, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that it had begun an investigation of a possible link between the use of testosterone replacement therapies and a range of serious health concerns, including heart attack and stroke. Soon afterwards, dozens of lawsuits were filed against the manufacturers of popular low testosterone treatments, including Androgel, Androderm, and others.
In order to streamline the litigation process, these suits have now been brought together as a multidistrict litigation in the Northern District of Illinois, which is where the majority of the initial claims originated. This will allow for a quicker process in helping those who may have been badly injured or who may have lost a loved one as a result of testosterone supplement use. You can read more about the multidistrict litigation by clicking here and here.
At Williams Hart, we are committed to holding pharmaceutical companies accountable when their products cause customers to suffer serious harm or injury, and we are prepared to offer our legal services to those who may have been harmed by the use of testosterone supplements. Contact us today at (713) 352-7071 to learn more about what our testosterone supplement lawyers can do for you.

It's silly, but I'm so freaking proud of myself right now. I'm DIY-er, who knew??
I was inspired by something I saw on Pinterest and instead of just repining this little idea to my "Home Decorating Ideas" board and then immediately mentally pinning it to my "Crap That's Cool But I'll Never In A Million Years Actually Do" board, I actually did it.
Procrastination: 0 Me: 1...Yay me!! Okay, so this has got to be the easiest DIY project in the history of DIY decorating projects. Like, I'm talking a monkey could do this. But hey, you've gotta start somewhere, right??
So here's my inspiration from the Better Homes and Gardens (via Pinterest) website:
I had just been lamenting to myself about how bare and uninteresting my little first floor powder room was and thought this would be a super easy and super cheap remedy for that unsightly situation.
So, after dropping Mr. Man off at a play date, Miss A and I scooted on over to our local craft store and headed straight for the fabric section (by way of the candy, toy, and princess birthday party paraphernalia sections thanks to my meandering and incredibly stubborn shopping companion).
I found four lovely fabric remnants on the shelf of remnants for $3 a piece. Here they are:
Then we headed down the road to Goodwill in search of some frames. I found some great frames for super cheap-they happened to have some super ugly pictures inside of them:
Sorry, this is an awful picture-I was
burning cooking dinner, talking on the phone with my sister and breaking up fights between my precious offspring while working on this project so I was less than focused on my photography skills. In fact, you can actually see a shadow of me directly under the chandelier snapping this shot with my iPhone if you look closely. Stupid. Anyway...
I took out the ugly pictures and placed them on top of my fabric pieces, cut out the fabric slightly larger than the pictures and wrapped the fabric around the cardboard, secured with masking tape, and then reframed the fabric wrapped pictures and Voila! So easy.
Here's the finished products hanging on my powder room wall:
Cost of fabric remnants: $12.60
Cost of four frames from Goodwill: $7.32
Total cost of project: $19.92
I love, love, love how this turned out! And I can't believe it cost under $20!
I might even be ready to tackle a more difficult DIY project, like making my own dining room table out of a salvaged barn door or some crap like that. If I can frame fabric I can do anything! Or maybe I'll just go back to my comfort zone of pinning and dreaming and procrastinating...
Happy DIY-ing everyone!

Hussein said all 10 were involved in international terrorism. He did not reveal their nationalities, or whether they had planned or carried out any attacks. Hishamuddin said that "if they are with an international terror organisation and if they are caught in Malaysia, then we will take action on them". 'Go to trial' Rights activists condemned the new detentions and said that suspects should face the normal justice system. "We oppose the new arrests. We are against detention without trial and the use of ISA on these 10 individuals. We want the government to charge or release them," Nalini Elumalai, co-ordinator of the Abolish ISA Movement, told the AFP news agency. "If the government has evidence that they pose a threat to national security, please bring them to court and put them through an open trial, don't use ISA on Malaysian citizen or any other individuals." The controversial ISA has in the past been used against suspected fighters, including members of Jemaah Islamiyah, a Southeast Asian group believed to be linked to al-Qaeda. Malaysian authorities reportedly detained 50 people under the law last week although most of them were subsequently released, according to the advocacy movement, which said that 12 others were still in detention. The detentions come at a time of raised religious and ethnic tensions over the use of the word "Allah" by Christians to denote their God in Malay language publications. The government had threatened to use the ISA to keep tensions from boiling over. SOURCE: Agencies

Folds of Communication – Your Brochure Printer
Its hard to communicate to the masses. When you send your message out by mail, or email, or advertising, or billboard, you may never know whether the message was ever received, or received by the right audience. That means you need to be sure that every single impression to your printed media counts!
Brochures are often handed to people, person to person, making them very effective. A brochure gives you the opportunity to create a visually compelling presentation, far more effective than other, less expensive marketing printing.
Brochures are folded printed promotional materials which are distributed for the purpose of information dissemination. Brochures are commonly used by savvy businesspeople to promote their products and services. A quality brochure will help your product offering stand above the crowd. In this day and age of everyone flocking to digital advertising, we believe that there's been a vacuum created. Businesses seem to have lost all thoughts of traditional marketing in favor of the great digital promise. This creates an opportunity for your business to be more noticeable than the rest by using fantastic and compelling brochures. Your visual competition has become far less.
The best brochures rely on captivating graphics and color in their printing to capture the attention of the viewer, and to project the image of the marketer. Brochures create a platform from which you can offer more information about your business than is usually afforded by the "skim, scan, click" culture of digital media. A brochure has "staying power".

Verizon Communications posted a 15 percent increase in fourth-quarter profit, mainly on the strength of its growing wireless business, according to MediaPost. The report said that the carrier saw 44 percent growth in data services—including text messaging, email and Internet access—compared with the same period last year, an indication of their increasing popularity.
In addition, Verizon picked up another 1.2 million customers, bringing its total in the U.S. to 72 million; that number doesn't count the subscribers gained in the Alltel acquisition.
Following RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie's rather obnoxious comment the other day about how buggy smartphones should be accepted as a "new reality," Verizon President and Chief Operating Officer Denny Strigl said in the article that the controversial BlackBerry Storm smartphone has now sold over 1 million units. Strigl added that the carrier could have sold another 200,000 if it wasn't for limited inventory.
