Malala Yousafzai
In 2009, at age 11, many people got to know her through a weblog of the BBC News' Urdu language service. The BBC published translated writings about her life under Taliban rule. On 9 October 2012, Yousafzai was shot in the head and neck in an assassination attempt by Atta Ullah Khan, a Taliban gunman. She was given emergency treatment in Pakistan and then moved to England for more medical treatment. She had titanium plate put over hole in skull and cochlear implant to restore her hearing.[4]
In May 2012 David Trumble, an award-winning artist, made a cartoon of Yousafzai as a Disney princess as part of a drawing of other feminist icons that he had made into princesses that was in the Huffington Post.[5]
On 12 July 2013, at age 16, she made a speech at headquarters of the United Nations, stressing the right to education for all and for human rights and peace and non-violence against terrorism and intolerance citing the proverb: "the pen is mightier than the sword".
She was nominated for the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize.[6] She has won a lot of prizes. She is the 2013 recipient of the Sakharov Prize. She was one of the winners of Glamour magazine's Women of the Year. Lady Gaga, who was also a winner and was on the month's cover, said that Yousafazi should have been on November's cover of Glamour instead of her.[7]
On October she met President Obama, Michelle Obama, and their daughter Malia in the Oval Office.[8]
The Taliban have said that they still want to assassinate Yousafzai.
In October 2013 a book about her life I am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban was published, with her help. The book was banned in Pakistani private schools.[9]
On 27 November 2013 Yousafazi was given the GG2 Hammer Award at the GG2 (Garavi Gujarat2) Leadership Awards 2013.[10]
Yousafazi was chosen by TIME magazine as a candidate for 2013's Person of the Year.[11]
She was nominated for the World's Children's Prize for the Rights of the Child in 2014.[12]
In 2014 Yousafazi has won Nobel Peace Prize and will be given a Doctor of Civil Law degree by the University of King's College.[13]

William Morrow Impulse
416 pages (eBook)
In the follow-up to Lisa Desrochers' explosive New Adult novel A Little too Far, Alessandro Moretti must face the life he escaped and the girl he loved and left behind.
Twenty-two year old Hilary McIntyre would like nothing more than to forget her past. As a teenager abandoned to the system, she faced some pretty dark times. But now that's all behind her. Hilary has her life on track, and there's no way she'll head back down that road again.
Until Alessandro Moretti—the one person who can make her remember—shows up on her doorstep. He's even more devastatingly gorgeous than before, and he's much too close for comfort. Worse, he sees right through the walls she's built over these last eight years, right into her heart and the secrets she's guarding.
As Hilary finds herself falling back into love with the man who, as a boy both saved and destroyed her, she must decide. Past or future? Truth or lies? (From Goodreads)
A copy was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review (Thanks William Morrow Impulse!). This in no way influenced my opinion.
I was pleasantly surprised by A Little Too Much. I didn't read the first book, A Little To Far. In all honesty the whole "step-brother" thing pushed me away. A Little Too Much may spoil A Little To Far's ending, but can be read 100% independent of the other book. And I actually enjoyed it!
A Little Too Much gave me that OMG-I-have-to-move-to-NYC-immediately feeling. The main characters spend a fair bit of time exploring the city, and I think this was my favourite part. I was left with a deep sense of wanderlust. I wanted to find myself a cute guy with nice arms and go tourist-ing.
Alessandro has that tall, dark and handsome thing going on, and I am completely on board with it. Seriously, sign me up. The characters were good, and I have no real complaints beyond some of the dialogue. Not all of it, but a bit of the more brooding stuff felt a little cheesy. So, I just gave an Italian accent to everything and dealt with it. I wouldn't say that Hilary and Alessandro are now my favourite characters of all time, but there was the growth I look for and no big issues.
What I really liked about this story was that it felt deeper than most of the NA I've read. There was actually content here. Most NA novels seem to follow a similar formula. The recipe here is similar, but the exploration of the city and BOMB THAT DROPS IN CHAPTER 23 left me satisfied. Again, it felt deeper. The last sentence was likely my favourite in the whole novel. I was so pumped for the next chapter and sorry the end. Again, it was completely satisfying.
I recommend this to, not only fans of NA, but fans of romance in general. The sex isn't overly explicit, and the story felt like there was actual content to it. I don't know if I will go back and read the first book, but I will be picking up the next one!

A Businessman, who is known as "Grease Yaka" among UNP circles, has been barred from entering 'Sirikotha', the UNP headquarters, due to the behind-the-scene role he played in the Tissa Attanayake saga.
It is widely believed that the businessman, who is a close friend of Tissa Attanayake, was also a "go-between" in the deal, despite being a regular visitor to Sirikotha. In fact, he was considered to be one of the chief "financiers"of Attanayake, when the latter was the General Secretary of the United National Party.
In the recent past, he had developed a close relationship with the government through an influential member of the first family. The UNP is of the view that "Grease Yaka" betrayed the party by facilitating Attanayake's crossover barely a month before the presidential election.
Alongside the famous businessman-Parliamentarian who was the main negotiator of the Tissa Attanayaike deal, "Grease Yaka" too played a key role by easing the deal through by carrying tales to Attanayake against Mangala Samaraweera and Malik Samarawickrama. After his crossover, Attanayake charged that Samaraweera and Samarawickrema were the ones who made his life difficult at Sirikotha!
However, following Tissa Attanayake's crossover, which came as a shock to the rank and file of the party, "Grease Yaka" has become a persona-non-grata at Sirikotha. He is hardly seen at the party headquarters these days and Sirikotha insiders say 'Grease Yaka' will now take care of the country's health sector with Attanayake at the helm of the ministry.

This is a common question we hear from homeowners who are considering
window replacement or have recently had windows replaced.
Window condensation can be irritating and worrisome. Condensation can be damaging to items in your home such as wood windows, wood molding, and plaster.
But as odd as this may sound, having condensation on the inside of your windows actually indicates that your windows are working as they should. In fact, once old windows are replaced with new quality windows, condensation might be more noticeable than it was with your old drafty windows. I will explain this but first let me explain what window condensation really is.
Condensation is moisture in the air that deposits onto a cold surface. Cold air holds less moisture than warm air. When temperatures start to drop, warm air within
your house comes into contact with cool glass surfaces. Water vapor that can no longer be held by the cooled air and is deposited on the glass.
Windows do not cause condensation, they just happen to be the place where moisture is most visible because they are typically the coldest surface in your home.
Condensation is most likely a sign of excess moisture or humidity levels in the home. There is humidity inside every home and it is caused by a great number of every day activities. Cooking, baths and showers, doing the laundry, running dishwashers, storing and burning firewood, pets, fish tanks, plants, clothes dryers that are not vented properly and many other items contribute to indoor humidity levels.
The construction and insulation materials that are used in newer or remodeled homes are designed to keep cold air outside. This is especially true of new windows. New energy efficient windows will keep cold air outside meaning that they also keep warm moist air inside. Windows that are drafty or less energy efficient would allow the warm moist air to escape. So, if your new windows are showing condensation more than your old ones it is likely because they are more airtight – less air is entering your home from the outside. Your drafty older windows evaporated the moisture before it could collect on the window surface.
To reduce condensation on your windows, you should reduce the humidity levels in your home. There are several steps you can take, including:
- Using exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens
- Turning off home humidifiers for the winter
- Run a dehumidifier
- Store firewood outside
- Don't air-dry clothes inside
- Open blinds and drapes
- Purchase an indoor humidity monitor to maintain ideal levels
- Open a window for a short time
- Increase ventilation
- Increase the temperature of your windows
Interior window condensation is a clue that excess moisture is present and may lead to rotting wood and molding, deteriorating insulation and other factors. Excessive indoor moisture or humidity are not the result of your windows, new or old.
Don't let drafty windows crank your energy bills this winter. Tony's Lifetime Exteriors installs quality Walsh Window Systems all year round that are Energy Star rated. This means the highest value for your home. Call today for your free quote: (320) 252-9086.

Elon Musk said that the new cars will have latest technology on hand in regards to self-driving technology.
It looks like Tesla is giving its customers a Christmas and New Year present. The company has been working on its auto pilot mode for many weeks. It looks like they have acquired what they were aiming for and the Tesla customers will get to have an updated version of autopilot mode soon in their cars.
Recently Elon Musk announced that the new models will roll out with upgraded auto pilot technology. This means that the new Model S and Model X cars will certainly have this autopilot feature in them.
Looks like we might be ready to rollout most of Autopilot functionality for HW2 towards the end of next week— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 23, 2016
The new models Model S and Model X are all made up of new hardware but it looks like the new features are not the only new thing that is happening with these models.
They are going to get a new auto pilot system as well. They might not be getting the fully autonomous system but the upgraded auto pilot system should do the trick too.
The new auto pilot mode will give the driver more self-driving features for the car. The new cars by Tesla are supposed to feature Level 4 automation. This has happened due to new suits and cameras which are installed under the bonnets of these cars thus giving a great view of surroundings.
However the latest development which is being made in the cars by company will make them compatible with the Level 5 Automation of vehicles. However there will be a number of features that won't work fully with this latest update.
These will include the parking assistance, blind spot detection, forward collision warning and auto steer. These features will be present but won't be fully functional.

2003-2006 Cayenne S (350mm front rotor) Brake Kit
This Porsche Cayenne (2003-2006) Brake Kit uses only the best components and parts to ensure safe, effective, factory-or-better braking for your Porsche Cayenne. The SUV weighs in at nearly 3 tons, why would you even consider "going cheap" on the brake kit??
There are a few "kits" on the market which boast a price point less than $400. This is comical, because upon checkout they charge you an additional $80-90 for shipping. These are incredibly heavy components, obviously, but that's quite a lot for shipping!
Additionally, the real downside is some of the kits on the market use parts which appear to be OEM, but are NOT OEM. Specifically, Porsches never came from the factory with brake discs or pads made in China! ALL of the components in this kit are made in Germany, by Zimmerman, Pagid, Porsche, & Sebro -- all OEM suppliers.
Please use the contact button at the top to send an email to me if you have any questions.
NOTE: Please check ALL part numbers to ensure fitment to your particular Cayenne. Different parts will be required if you have the 380mm front rotors. Please email me directly for a price for that kit.

ANDERSON, S.C. – The Anderson baseball team pounded out 22 hits, including six for extra bases, and scored 21 runs, as the Trojans swept a nonconference doubleheader with King, 11-6 and 10-9, Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium.
Anderson improved to 3-0 on the season with the three-game sweep.
Game #1
Anderson 11, King 6
Sophomore Tyler Berry was 3-for-5, with three singles in the opener and also drove in a pair of runs. Sophomore designated hitter Chandler Castleberry added three hits, including a solo home run in the fifth inning, and posted two RBI. Junior Daniel Blazejewski was 2-for-5 and drove in three runs with a third-inning triple. Shortstop Jackson Strange reached on a walk and also doubled, while junior Matthew Overton recorded a pair of walks and was also hit by a pitch and scored twice. Junior Dillon Carpenter added a single, a walk and belted a solo homer in the fifth inning.
Senior left-hander Matthew Stanley earned the win after allowing three runs on four hits in five innings of work. He struck out seven Tornado batters and issued four free passes. Junior Christian Carpenter earned his second save in as many games by working a perfect 1 1/3 innings to close down the Tornado.
Game #2
Anderson 10, King 9
Dillon Carpenter was 2-for-3 in the nightcap, while scoring three times and homering for the third straight game. Junior Cody Adams added a pair of singles and crossed the plate twice, with senior Brandon Odachowski notching two singles and driving in three runs. Jackson Strange scored twice, while Joseph Strange reached on a walk and doubled in the decisive seventh inning.
Senior Christian Hendrix captured the win with two innings of relief. The left-hander struck out one batter and walked three.
Game 1
The Tornado took advantage of two extra-base hits in the top of the first inning and jumped out a quick 2-0 lead, with AU countering with a solo run in the bottom of the frame when Adams led off with a single back up the middle and crossed the plate on a two-out fielding error by the Tornado.
AU took the lead for good on Blazejewski's two-out, three-run triple in the bottom of the third inning and after King added a run in the top of the fourth frame, Dillon Carpenter and Castleberry hammered back-to-back solo home runs to push the Trojans' lead to 6-3.
King climbed within one run by scoring twice in the seventh inning, but the Trojans countered with a pair of runs in the bottom of the frame to build an 8-5 advantage and after the Tornado scored one last time in the eighth, AU added three more runs in the bottom of the eighth to set the final score.
Game 2
The Trojans rallied from an early four-run deficit by plating four runs of their own in the third inning. King responded by taking the lead again by scoring a solo run in the fourth inning, while AU scored four times for the second consecutive inning to claim an 8-5 advantage after four full innings.
But the lead didn't last long, as King knotted the score at eight apiece with three runs in the fifth inning and took a brief lead with another run in the sixth inning. Carpenter answered by notching his third home run in two days to even the score at 9-9 heading into the final inning.
The Tornado threatened in the top of the frame, but came away empty-handed to set up a frantic final at-bat for the Black and Gold. Joseph Strange led off by doubling down the left-field line and sophomore Dalton Shaw came in to pinch-run. After reaching base on a walk and getting hit by a pitch earlier in the game, sophomore Will O'Brien laid down a sacrifice bunt that the Tornado pitcher managed to field, but he threw wildly past third base while trying to nail Shaw and the Hilton Head Island, S.C., native raced home with the winning run.
Anderson will get back on the diamond Tuesday afternoon, when Young Harris invades the Electric City. First-pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m. at Memorial Stadium.

White Chile
This is a great cool weather meal. It might be a bit spicy for some so the jalapeno peppers can be adjusted or left out altogether.
Last Minute Stew
My grandmother gave me this recipe. It's perfect when you have no idea what to make for dinner or when you're pushed for time. It goes great with cornbread.

At our Green:Net conference in March in San Francisco, we hosted a lot of startups using information technology to fight climate change. Four months later, some of the startups that both launched and announced news at the event have made a bit of headway. This week Visible Energy, which makes energy management-based consumer electronics, and Kashless, which has created a web hub for free stuff, have added new products and started to expand.
First up Visible Energy: The Palo Alto, Calif.-based startup has developed energy management software and electronics that will automatically record appliances' consumption, and enable users to control those appliances via their iPhones, iPod Touch devices, or computers. The year-old company is touting several new products on its newly-launched web site this morning, including a smart power cord, a smart circuit breaker, an energy management dashboard, an energy management picture frame, and even a smart plug-in electric vehicle garage charger. The company also says in its newsletter today that it hopes to have its UFO Power Strip — a flying saucer-shaped disc with four sockets — available for purchase by Christmas of this year.
More importantly, at least from a revenue perspective, Visible Energy says that it has a trial with an Italian utility to offer its customers the option to purchase its products. And Visible Energy CEO Marco Graziano told us via email this morning that the company is hoping to close its Series A funding before the end of the year. With that cash the company hopes to hire more people, increase its manufacturing and expand its product line.
Visible Energy is clearly moving a lot slower than some companies that make competing energy management products like Tendril, Control4, and Energy Hub (read about 10 companies building energy management tools here). But by the time consumer's are ready to purchase these types of products, the company could have ramped up just in time.
Now onto Kashless: Martin Tobias' startup (formerly the CEO of biodiesel maker Imperium Renewables), which has developed a web site for people to give away and find free stuff. It's like Craigslist, but with many more Web 2.0-style features, and targeted at folks that want to specifically barter in free goods. Tobias tells us that they have started their slow national expansion, from an initial launch in Seattle, to launching sites in New York, Portland, Ore. and Spokane, Wash. this week.
Tobias tells us that he hopes to have the top 100 metro areas live by end of August, and that traffic to the sites have tripled in the last couple of days. While Craiglist is pervasive in most cities, it would seem like companies like Kashless could use Craigslist more as a platform to integrate with and expand upon, and less as a competitor. Kashless is still in "alpha" stage, meaning it's very new (even earlier than beta). For Tobias' explanation of what the company has coming down the pike, read his blog post.

Keeping your car outdoors can be a risk at the best of time, but particularly so in these winter months. Now that the cold and wet has really set in, you may already begin to see sign of wear and tear on your car. Really, you, and your car deserve better than that. You car deserves a long life, without having to be constantly cleaned, polished and repaired. As for, you, you will enjoy saving yourself the money and bother of having to do it. This is where the Noah large car cover can help you out. Noah, is a the name of a car cover that is manufactured by the one of the world's leading car covering companies, Covercraft. Together with Kimberley-Clark, Covercraft have produced their own fabric for the Noah cover, made up of bi-component fibers, closely sheathing various materials together. The cover consists of three layers that will enable the cover to fully protect your car in every way.
The outer layer is made up of polypropylene, which makes it soft, but tough against the various weather conditions, and resists the ultra violet rays. The inner-most layer is also composed of polypropylene, but it is combined together with nylon, to create a tough core. Sandwiched between the two is a layer of micro-porous film. This enables the cover to be breathable; air and moisture are allowed out but not in. In this way, the car still has a chance to breathe and sweat whilst covered, without getting steamed up and rotten. Together, these three layers make it totally impenetrable for the various harsh weather conditions from wrecking your car. The car is completely protected against the rain, sleet, snow, sun and even wind. Yes, the wind can be dangerous for your car too. With the wind, often there is a lot of flying debris. These could be seemingly little things such as sticks and stones, but when they fly through the air, they end up scratching and denting cars.
As the Noah cover is three layers thick, it is able to absorb the shock of the impact of these collisions, and will prevent an impression from being made on the actual car. The Noah cover will cushion your car from those annoying little nicks and dings. The three layers also make the cover much more durable and resistant to rips and tears that may happen with use. You will find that Noah is particularly practical as it can be folded up compactly when not in use, and will not take up any space. You can even take it with you wherever you travel, so that you and your car are always covered and never caught out. In addition, the cover will resist the growth of rot and mildew, hence it can be folded up whilst still damp – you don't even have to wait for it to be completely dry! Noah covers always look good too, as they are custom made. They are tailor made for your car, and will even include mirror and aerial pockets, when applicable. This gives your car a sleek, and classy impression, even whilst covered.
Protect Your Car This Winter Before It's Too Late
Halloween has come and gone, the first nor'easter barreled through like a freight train, and Thanksgiving is on the way. Ah, yes, it's time to get the cars ready to tough it out through winter again. In this rough economy, there are a lot of changes for many of us. One of the changes I'm noticing is families consolidating homes or moving out of a single family home into an apartment or condominium. We all do what we must to get by, but don't forget to protect your automobile. Just a few hours of love will make all the difference this winter.
Noah Cover Is The Ultimate Protection For an SUV
Each and every type of car needs protection and shielding from the harsh elements of nature. Even more so a SUV. Due to the increased gas prices, many SUV are parked on the streets, waiting to be used when the prices are more reasonable. Until then, the SUVs are just there waiting to get wrecked. They are not in use, and therefore the dust and dirt just piles up, so that when the time finally comes to use the SUV, extensive repairs and cleaning needs to be done. This is a shame, and an unnecessary expense. The ideal car cover for an SUV is the Noah cover from Covercraft. Covercraft is a company that is known for its reliability and top quality products. They have spent many years researching different fabrics and the protective components they have, and based upon this, have produced some of the best covers worldwide. The Noah cover is one of their all-weather covers. It is composed of three layers, made from bi-component fibres. The outer layer is soft and ultra-violet resistant; it is made from polypropylene. The middle layer is made from a micro-porous film so that the cover is breathable. The inner-most layer is made from a combination of a tough nylon core and polypropylene woven together. All together, the three layers make the Noah cover durable, and totally weather-proof.
The advantage of the cover being breathable is that the car has a chance to sweat and breathe whilst covered, without the worry of it getting steamed up and mouldy. This is done by air and moist particles being allowed to escape out through the fabric, but not in. The SUV will therefore still remain completely protected from water and other unwanted liquids. As Noah is comprised of three layers, it is able to absorb the shock of any knocks and bashes, without them making any sort of impression on the SUV itself. The cover cushions the car, and shields it from potential scratches and dents. The cover is also more durable, and unlikely to succumb to rips and tears, due to its reinforcement of three layers. When the SUV is ready to used once more, it will be clean and still shiny, without any sorts of stains, due to the Noah cover. The cover will still be able to serve as protection, and can travel with the SUV as it is very compact. The Noah cover fold up small and neatly enough to fit in a corner of the trunk, ensuring that wherever the driver goes, it will be protected. It will resist the growth of rot and mildew, so that the cover does not even have to be completely dry when folded away. Noah covers are custom-made so that the cover will fit the SUV precisely. This maximises the protection offered, as there is no space for anything to creep in unnoticed. It also gives the SUV a much more classy, chic look when covered, just as a SUV deserves.
Why I'll Always Use a Car Cover
I am a big game show enthusiast. I love watching all the old favorites: The Price is Right, Let's Make a Deal, and even reruns of the Gong Show. One day I was chillin' at the pad and it suddenly hit me-why shouldn't I be a contestant? It would be a dream come true and there would be a chance for instant fame and even a jackpot of prizes. So the next time my favorite came show "So You Want to Win a Corvette" came to town, I was first in line and sure enough I was selected! I used all my wiles and guiles answering question after question until I came to the final round. The host looked me in the eye and asked me the difficult jackpot question:
"General Motors produces the Corvette under which brand?"
I racked my brains for 10 straight minutes but finally spoke up in a trembling voice:
The audience roared with excitement and confetti rained down upon the set.
I had won a fully equipped 'vette of my own!
I parked the beauty in my driveway and went inside to watch some TV. I felt quite content as I flipped through the channels-after all I had a sportscar of my own and thus a place of honor among the big ballers. At 11:00pm the local news came on with a special alert. A rare bird had escaped from the zoo earlier that evening and was on the loose somewhere in my part of town. The bird was easily recognized by its colorful plumage and acidic droppings. I started to doze off as the anchorman's words echoed through my head….acidic droppings…acidic droppings… I woke with a start in the midst of a nightmare. "Acidic droppings!" I shrieked. "Nooooooo!" I leapt off the sofa and ran out the door. There in the driveway sat my beloved prize, but there was something wrong. The entire car was sizzling and giving off smoke from its surfaces. I heard a loud 'squawk' and beheld the culprit taking wing after so devastatingly performing its unholy act. It took a fortune to restore the car to its former glory, but I learned my lesson and bought a car cover. Though perhaps nothing in the world would protect against unprovoked acts of bird, a car cover it would surely keep my Corvette safe from the normal elements in the future.
How To Choose The Right Car Cover That Will Not Damage Your Car
Not everyone is lucky enough to have a garage to keep their car in and even if you do you may be like me and have too much junk to be able to park your car there. Things like tree sap, especially from pine trees, hail, and exposure to the sun can ruin your car's paint quickly. If you want to protect your car's finish from the elements you may want to consider investing in a car cover, however there are some things you need to know before you do this. A good quality car cover can go a long way in protecting your vehicle's finish but the wrong cover can ruin it! You can find a good quality cover for your car for under a hundred dollars in most cases so price isn't a big issue. If you can afford a car that you care about protecting you can afford to cover it. Car covers come in assorted sizes with some being generic to fit any average size car and others made for trucks and SUVs. There are also covers designed for specific vehicles, if you own a very expensive car you may want to consider one of these. When you are looking for a car cover you will find that there are really two choices when it comes to types of covers. First you will see waterproof covers and then water repellant covers. A water repellant cover on the other hand is a little more permeable and will prevent moisture from forming under it. You will pay a little more for a water repellant cover but like anything else, it is because you get what you pay for. A water repellant cover is much better for your vehicle than a waterproof one. You may even want to cover your car in the garage, especially if it is a car you don't drive often like an old classic Corvette or Muscle Car. The cost of a car cover is nothing when you consider the cost of repairing even a minor ding or scratch as well as what the damage doe to the value of the car. Consider the purchase of a car cover an investment in the protection of your car.Continue reading

|view to the high peaks of the Dona Ana Mountains
I'm christening this longest,deepest canyon that pierces the eastern wall of the Robledos, "Robledo Canyon." If after describing it here,you recognize the canyon of which I speak and know it by another name please let me know.
I drove out onto levee road right at its closest approach to Valley Drive( NM 185). I parked in the usual spot when exploring these east side canyons ( see " Big " and " Middle" Canyons in this blog)and made my way across the puddles and mud that we call the Rio Grande. I shouldn't be complaining about the situation with our river. If they didn't let it go dry every winter, it would seriously mess with my access to many hikes. Still it's always a little sad to behold. Be careful when crossing after winter rain or snow and the first few weeks after the end of irrigation season, the mud is thick and very slippery.
Unfortunately ,because of private property on the west side of the river right at the mouth of the canyon that must be avoided,my approach was going to be long, not particularly scenic, and involved crossing two deep arroyos. I began chugging along trying to chew up the distance, thinking this bit of the walk as pure drudgery. But, as always, there is something new to see that will lighten my mood. In these case, it was the tiny leaves of the ocotillo showing their fall color, a sight I have no recollection of seeing before.
It's always harder when I can see my destination far off in the distance. It seems to take forever to get any closer. I was also worried about the weather holding out. It did, with the exception of the cold wind that chilled my ears toward the end of the hike As I did get closer, I could see many holes in the far off cliff walls that once again got me wondering if this area has really been thoroughly explored for caves by those folks who do that sort of thing. Down in the second arroyo, I opted for going straight up the canyon just to north of the one I was after. It was mostly boulder hopping, with one larger dry waterfall that had to be climbed around. There were some enormous desert junipers back here, that put in mind the bristlecone pines out in Nevada and California, where the majority of the tree appears dead. This canyon shallowed up pretty quickly, and I climbed the now low canyon side up onto the ridge which was more like a huge plateau.
I wandered around to the west on the high ground, eventually climbing down past where Robledo Canyon makes a big turn to the northwest. A large tributary that comes in from the west, where I explored many years ago, looked inviting with large junipers in a narrow, winding box, but I stuck with the main branch heading northwest. As I walked, I kept an eye out for fossils, mortar holes, rock art, but mostly what I saw was scat, lots and lots of scat some of it the exact color of a red velvet cake left by an animal very fond of the tiny red berries that that proliferate on a couple of different desert shrubs( one is the lemonade bush, I think). If anyone out there knows the likely culprit of these deposits, let me know.There was also the usual assortment of desert shrubs including some javelina bushes that were almost taking on the characteristics of a small tree.
The nicest part of this upper canyon was a straight walled little corridor that I'll call the upper box. Past this, many tributaries began coming in, and eventually the streambed I was walking was just a small rocky tributary itself. I sat down and snacked. I could see the high ridge of the Robledos off to the northeast.
The return trip was a bit of trudging. I hoped to see some artifacts, but saw none. I did contemplate the usefulness of the friendly creosote, which, although it is sometimes indicative of environmental degradation, can be used safely to pull oneself up a steep arroyo bank, and can also assist in braking while traveling down the same. Eventually, I was back at the recently installed metal post and barbed wire fence and found a gate to go through. Since it is impossible to see through the salt cedar on the banks of the river to get a visual bearing, I was happy to come out just a short ways north of the truck, which I was back to in due time.

Treating Prostate Cancer With BrachytherapyBrachytherapy, or internal radiation therapy, is one of the most commonly used treatments for prostate cancer — but not everyone is a candidate. Find out if it's an option for you.
Brachytherapy, also called internal radiation therapy, is used to treat many types of cancers, including prostate cancer.
Brachytherapy can be a very successful treatment method for certain prostate cancer patients, and it's hardly a new treatment — in fact, it's been used for more than a hundred years.
Brachytherapy for Prostate Cancer: How Does It Work?
"The two most commonly used and two best-supported approaches to treating prostate cancer are surgical removal of the prostate gland or radiation treatment," explains Durado Brooks, MD, director of prostate and colorectal cancers at the American Cancer Society. Radiation treatment can be given either by focusing a beam of radioactive particles from outside the body toward the body or, in the case of brachytherapy, by inserting small radioactive particles into the body.
During brachytherapy, small seeds containing radioactive material are placed directly in the tumor inside the body. These seeds may stay in the body permanently, even after the radioactive material is used up. Or they may be removed after the radioactive material has been released into the tumor. These seeds are very small — the size of a grain of rice.
Once in the body, the seeds emit radiation that travels a very short distance — directly to the cancer cells it needs to treat. The rest of the body is protected from the radiation because it can reach only the nearby cancer cells, not the healthy ones farther away.
Brachytherapy is typically performed under anesthesia, but it is not a very invasive procedure. Either a low or high dose of radioactive material can be used, depending on the cancer. The seeds are usually inserted into the tumor via a needle or catheter, and an ultrasound may be used to help the doctor see the tumor and implant the seeds. Brachytherapy doesn't require an incision and doesn't usually require a hospital stay.
There are some possible side effects associated with brachytherapy, including incontinence and impotence. However, the risk of those side effects is lower than with surgical options, and the side effects are more common in men older than 70. More commonly, there is some burning or irritation at the site of the seed implantation. Patients may also experience urinary side effects such as needing to urinate often, feeling a strong urge to urinate, or having some discomfort during urination.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Brachytherapy?
Brachytherapy alone may be a good prostate cancer treatment option for men with localized prostate cancer that hasn't spread beyond the prostate. It's also an option for men who are concerned about the common side effects (often incontinence and impotence) of surgery and other forms of radiation therapy. Brachytherapy can also be used after surgical removal of the prostate to ensure that no cancerous cells remain.
"Men who have early-stage prostate cancer when there's no evidence that the disease has spread elsewhere should consider brachytherapy when they are at the point of considering between surgical options and radiation," says Dr. Brooks.
"Overall, in most instances it's probably going to be a matter of personal preference and availability. There may be places where external therapy is not available and brachytherapy is, or the converse may be true. There may be some contraindications to brachytherapy, so it really has to be an individualized decision, and men need to talk to their treating physician and make a decision based on that," Brooks says.
If your prostate cancer is localized, talk with your doctor about all options, including brachytherapy, to determine the best possible type of treatment.

Lucas Auer first Austrian DTM race winner
Robert Wickens leads overall standings
Lausitzring – Successful conclusion to the Lausitzring Motorsport Festival for Mercedes-AMG DTM Team: Lucas Auer (BWT Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM) and Robert Wickens (SILBERPFEIL Energy Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM) finished on the podium in the second race in front of 67,500 spectators (over the whole weekend).
This was Auer's first DTM victory in his 23 DTM races. He is the first Austrian ever to win a DTM race. He had earlier taken his second pole position of his DTM career in the home race for his Mercedes AMG DTM Team Mücke.
Canadian Robert Wickens took his second podium of the weekend after placing third on Saturday and with 58 points now leads the DTM drivers's standings. His Mercedes-AMG DTM team-mate Gary Paffett (EURONICS Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM) finished the race in fifth position.
Christian Vietoris rounded off a good team result for the Mercedes-AMG DTM Team by placing seventh, which means that the Pink Panthers scored points in both races at the home race of their team in their BWT Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTMs.
DTM rookie Esteban Ocon (FREE MEN'S WORLD Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM) finished the sixth race of the season in 15th place. Paul Di Resta (Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM), Daniel Juncadella (UBFS invest Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM) and Maximilian Götz (Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM) were forced to retire; the Spaniard had problems with his tyres, while Götz was hit by a steering issue.
The next race weekend: The next highlight of the season will follow the Motorsport Festival Lausitzring when the DTM lines up at the Norisring in Nuremberg, 24th-26th June. The street circuit next to the Dutzendteich is traditionally one of the high points of the DTM year.
Comments after the Race
Lucas Auer (21, Austria)
• Car number: 22
• Team: BWT Mercedes-AMG (Mercedes-AMG DTM Team Mücke)
• Car: BWT Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM
"I've never had to work so hard for a win as I've had to today. It was really tough. The first few laps were really critical. My crew did great on the pitstop and my pace was also very good. It's mega to have won my first DTM race. The DTM is a fantastic series, and it makes me really proud to take my maiden win in it, particularly as I'm the first driver from my country to pull it off. We're going to celebrate today. I'm especially pleased for Peter Mücke. He lives and breathes motor racing and thoroughly deserves this win."
Robert Wickens (27, Canada)
• Car number: 6
• Team: SILBERPFEIL Energy / UBFS invest Mercedes-AMG
(Mercedes-AMG DTM Team HWA)
• Car: SILBERPFEIL Energy Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM
"Congratulations to Lucas. He was simply unstoppable this weekend and really deserved to win. I would also have liked to win obviously, but it was his day today, and I'm very happy for him. We made an early pit stop to change tyres. I had to stay out for a long time after that on the same set. Ekström was really fast towards the end. I didn't have any grip after the Slow Zone and had to make sure that I didn't drop any points."
Gary Paffett (35, England)
• Car number: 2
• Team: EURONICS / FREE MEN'S WORLD Mercedes-AMG
(Mercedes-AMG DTM Team ART)
• Car: EURONICS Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM
"Congratulations to Lucas. He's had a superb weekend. My goal was to actually finish on the podium from fifth place on the grid, but I damaged my car a bit while overtaking Timo Scheider. I lost some grip on the front as a result. In the end, I couldn't hold off Jamie Green and Mattias Ekström behind me. They were simply quicker than me at the time. Fifth place brings some good points with it, but it's slightly disappointing, because I had set my heart on finishing third."
Christian Vietoris (27, Germany)
• Car number: 8
• Team: BWT Mercedes-AMG (Mercedes-AMG DTM Team Mücke)
• Car: BWT Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM
"Starting from seventh position after the grid penalty made it a tricky race. Unfortunately, I again lost power steering during the race, which cost me a lot of time in the fast corners. That was a tough weekend for me. We had a good car and should actually have made more of it."
Esteban Ocon (19, France)
• Car number: 34
• Team: EURONICS / FREE MEN'S WORLD Mercedes-AMG
(Mercedes-AMG DTM Team ART)
• Car: FREE MEN'S WORLD Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM
"That was a great result for the team today. Congratulations to Lucas on his first DTM win and also to Robert, who now has the overall lead. As for myself, I must keep pushing and mustn't be too disappointed after this weekend. I hope that I can hit back again in the next race."
Paul Di Resta (30, Scotland)
• Retired (classified P21)
• Car number: 3
• Team: Mercedes-AMG (Mercedes-AMG DTM Team HWA)
• Car: Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM
"My pace was poor, both in qualifying and in the race. My start was excellent, which allowed me to gain a few places, but I lost them again after the pit stop. In the end, I had to retire because of a problem with the car. All in all, it hasn't been my weekend. There's still a lot to do before the next race at the Norisring. Congratulations to Lucas on his first DTM win. He was the best driver this weekend, and he really earned his victory."
Daniel Juncadella (25, Spain)
• Retired
• Car number: 12
• Team: SILBERPFEIL Energy / UBFS invest Mercedes-AMG
(Mercedes-AMG DTM Team HWA)
• Car: UBFS invest Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM
"Unfortunately, it was another bad day for me. We've now got to carefully analyse the data. I drove well in qualifying but only managed 18th on the grid. I still can't fully understand quite what happened. I've had a few issues so far all season with qualifying. The races have gone a little better, but it just didn't work out for me today. Nevertheless, I'm happy for my former team, Mücke. I raced for them for three years and can tell you that they definitely deserve this victory."
Maximilian Götz (30, Germany)
• Retired
• Car number: 84
• Team: Mercedes-AMG (Mercedes-AMG DTM Team HWA)
• Car: Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM
"That was very disappointing. I was in a promising position, but I realised after braking in the second turn that there was something broken at the front of the car on the off-side. It was a real shame. I was doing so well, putting pressure on the guy in front. A great deal more should have been possible."
Ulrich Fritz, Head of Mercedes-AMG DTM
"Lucas thoroughly deserved this win. He was in a class of his own from start to finish. Robert also put up a strong showing and is now a worthy championship leader. Overall, we are obviously very pleased with the weekend. The team are now being rewarded for their hard work."

Education is one of the single things in life that is very significant for the well-being. Through education, many people are shaped to become leaders, to become helpers and so on. Schools are like the second home for students and these are the places where they learn things that will help them in their life in order for them to be the best they can be.
However, it is unfortunate to hear that quality education comes with a price. That's the trend today. In addition to that, tuition and other school fees are also increasing and these results to several parents forcing their child to stop attending school. In other words, it is the finances that hinders students from going to schools, specially the catholic private schools.
Find Help With Grants For Catholic Elementary Schools
If there's a will, there's a way as they say. Parents who are willing to send their kids to catholic schools can still achieve that because there are available grants for catholic schools, whether primary or secondary schools. Parents should have the will to pursue quality education in catholic schools for their kids even if they lack the financial aspect to do it. With the grants available for catholic schools, it is possible to continue schooling for less fortunate kids that will benefits the family. One of the advantages in the catholic school grants is that there is no need for families to repay the money used for their grants.
Some Grants For Catholic Elementary Schools
There are several grants for catholic schools that you can choose and it depends on your current situation.
One of the most known grants is the so-called Need-based grants in which Catholic organizations or those who supports them give assistance in terms of finances to the students whose families are having financial problems and are unable to afford the cost of schooling such as tuition fees.
There are also the so-called "At Risk" grants in which financial assistance is given to those students deemed as at risk or those who are currently studying, but cannot continue due to financial problem. An example of this grant is given by the Catholic Education Foundation's Save Our Students that awards $1,500 for qualified students.
The most common grant that is common even in other schools is the scholarships given by the national government. In other words, you can look for grants even if the grantor is not a Catholic funded organization. This kind of grants provide financial assistance to students with families whose income is way below the threshold that they will set.

The Pink Apartment
by Pui Ying Wong
Sai Kung
It was a low rise building.
The smell of cooked garlic
lingered between the floors,
laughter bursting
from the radios and jokes told
in my native tongue.
I was a stranger at home.
I walked among
the neighbors, quiet
as an unstrung guitar.
I waited for the bus, greeted
by commuters wary like moles
caught in the sun, nothing
could assuage them:
not morning's pure light,
not their own dreams.
I tried to conjure your face
but I was distracted
while you,
like a wayward cloud,
sauntered off.
I listened to rain tapping
on the air conditioner, frogs
silent in the sewer,
my eyes wandering
to the wall where a gecko
mounted itself, playing dead
with its eyes open,
where the paint almost undone
by humidity and time
was blistering
like a tropical illness.

Founded in 2005, Maui Prep's plantation style campus is nestled on roughly 22 acres of former pineapple fields and majestic Norfolk pines. To date, only about 7 acres have been put into regular use for the academic program. Campus facilities include two science labs, a computer lab, music room, art studio, dining facility, college center, and several other classroom and office spaces. At Maui Prep, we value sustainability and our roles as environmental stewards seriously. We utilize photovoltaic panels as a major source of renewable energy, and we recycle many products including plastics, glass, aluminum, and paper.
Maui's main airport (OGG) is located in Kahului, the main commercial hub of the island. The drive from Kahului Airport to Maui Prep is about 45 minutes.
Kahului Airport is accessible directly from the US mainland through cities like Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. International travelers from Asia will land first at Honolulu International Airport (HNL) on the island of Oahu, and then transfer to an island-based carrier, like Hawaiian Airlines or Island Air, for a short 25-minute flight to Maui. Most international travelers from Europe, South America, and parts of the Middle East will pass through passport control in a city on the US mainland, and then fly directly to Kahului Airport (OGG).
Whether visiting for a few days or for an extended period of time, visitors to the west side of Maui, where Maui Prep is located, have many options for their stay. From Kapalua to Ka'anapali, a ten-mile stretch of west side communities, there are numerous resorts and condominium communities. Just below Ka'anapali is Lahaina, the retail and commercial center of the West Side.

NEGATIVE [perception] = The Intellectual
The Intellectual denies her sense of humor. She becomes dry, thus learns things the hard way. She is rational, factual, rigid and never gets the math of life quite right. She lives according to her precepts and rules. She abides by all her said rules, yet loses the entire game.
She finds her worth in being a know it all, and will facilitate her life to sustain the idea that her value is based on what she has learned. She calls this information "what she knows". Although she becomes frustrated when the data changes. She will go through crisis when the facts change.
POSITIVE [Truth] = The Wise Person
A wise person is flexible, as they do not limit their Mind with perceptions which can fade, ideas which are changing like the winds. Instead, they access discernment which helps them cultivate wisdom. And above all else, a wise person never lets go of their sense of humor!

Nuisance complaints prompt city hall to consider reining in Airbnb, other short-term rentals
The city is looking to rein in nuisance neighbours that come from short-term rentals.
At the urban planning committee meeting Tuesday, city officials heard from neighbours who complained their tranquil streets were being turned into loud party areas.
"We think it's time for the City of Edmonton to take a look at developing a regulatory framework for short-term rentals for commercial operators," said Tracy Douglas-Blowers, director of industry relations with the Alberta Hotel & Lodging Association, who spoke at the meeting.
"Not people who are renting out a room in their residence, but for people who are purchasing multiple properties, condominiums and single-family homes, and renting them out for the express purpose of generating profit for themselves."
This is an issue in many jurisdictions not only in Canada, but the U.S. and around the world, she said.
"It's really an unintended consequence of the sharing economy and people are seeing this as an opportunity to capitalize and create a new revenue stream for themselves," she said. "The reality is it's not going to go away."
By passing regulations, municipalities can not just preserve the peace in neighbourhoods, but also create a level playing field for existing businesses that pay taxes and follow rules, she said.
Ward 9 Coun. Tim Cartmell said the city is looking into having short-term tools for specific concerns while working on a grander vision and regulatory environment in future.
"Airbnb lives on the internet," he said. "We cannot start or stop them from coming to the city. They exist. Listing your property on Airbnb is no more difficult than getting a Google mail address."
Short-term rental properties can be in single-family home neighbourhoods where the owner does not live on the property, he said.
The owner isn't checking on who arrives, how many people show up and whether the person who actually rented the place is the one using it, he said.
"So if people — when people — want to participate in nuisance behaviour, trash, noise, parking, parties or other things, there is no way to get that corrected in the moment immediately, and there is no mechanism to hold people to account in the longer term," he said. "We need to find a tool to fix that."
Websites such as Airbnb and Vacation Rentals By Owner (VRBO) are popular platforms for homeowners to advertise their properties to a wider audience of potential renters, according to a committee memo. The number of listings in Edmonton increased to more than 1,000 today from 44 in 2014.
"This may be a symptom of the rental vacancy rate of Edmonton," the memo said.

One of the reasons I find permaculture so useful is because it provides a systematic framework for what I have already instinctively been doing in a hit-or-miss fashion for years. For example, my husband used to think it was kind of weird that I mulched in all my flower and vegetable beds with grass clippings all summer; neither of us had heard of other people doing that, but it just seemed instinctively right to me. Lo and behold, I find lots of permies do this too!
However, there are many novel growing techniques that I'm learning from permaculture, and the one that fascinates me the most is the idea of planting a food forest in guilds.
Here is a good explanation of what polyculture food forest guilds are:
Permaculture is based on natural systems like those that we see in forests. In a forest system, there are mulitple layers of vegetation growing together in a very diverse setting. We see many types of trees, shrubs, plants, insects, animals, and various other things all living together in a system that continually strengthens itself. All of these components of a natural ecosystem serve a function (or several functions) that support each other like the strands of a web. One strand on its own may be weak, but the combination of all the strands together add to the overall strength and usefulness of the web.
In order to mimic these natural systems and to provide for human needs (i.e. food, building supplies, fuel, fibers, etc.) we must learn to identify and work with the various functions of our natural resources. This is where the concept of the "Permaculture Guild" comes from. A guild is usually defined as an association of people working toward a common goal. In Permaculture, a guild is a grouping a plants, animals, insects, and other natural components that also work together to help ensure their survival. Instead of planting gardens, Permaculture teaches us how to "build guilds". Instead of teaching about specific plants, we teach about the plant's functions. This is why Permaculture can work throughout the whole world. It is a guide for design rather than a "how-to" type of agriculture.
The basic design of a guild generally follows some variation on this theme:
I've put together the beginnings of my first guild and I thought I'd share it. Behind our house is a mature full-size pear tree, which is currently loaded with baby pears:
I did not add a dwarf fruit tree because the area is rather shady and prone to deer visits. Instead I put in red currant and gooseberry shrubs because they like partial shade:
I was thrilled to find the currant shrubs; when I lived in Russia one summer, I learned to love red and black currants as Russians are crazy about them. They go into the forests and gather large pails of them, and you can buy them in all the open-air markets. I always wondered why we don't have currant bushes in Michigan as our climate is not dissimilar to some parts of Russia, so I did a little investigating, and it turns out that for many years, it was actually illegal to grow currants in the U.S. due to a fungal infection they can carry which completes part of its life cycle on White Pines. The fungus does not seriously harm the currants, but it causes a "rust" on the pines that eventually kills them (you can read more about this here).
However, several varieties of red currants and gooseberries have been bred that are resistant to White Pine Blister Rust, and it is once again legal in some states to grow them. In Michigan, black currants can only be grown with a special license, but red currants and gooseberries can be grown without a permit in certain counties provided they are the resistant cultivars:
Under the currants, I planted rhubarb:
Rabbits, deer, and other critters do not much care for rhubarb, and the leaves are toxic (we only eat the stalks), so there was no need to fence around these. Rhubarb is one of the few perennial vegetables (yes, it is actually a veggie and not a fruit), so I think it's a natural fit in a permaculture ("permanent agriculture") guild.
I then mulched everything heavily with grass clippings to keep down weeds, keep the soil moist, and to nourish the rhubarb, which is a heavy feeder.
So here's my guild thus far:
I still want to add a "ground cover" layer which may end up being strawberries if I can't figure out something better to plant, though strawberries may not love the partial shade here.
The only harvest I'll get from the guild this year is pears, but next year I hope I'll be making and canning lots of pectin-free strawberry rhubarb jam!
